The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

Chapter 51: Subdue the Little Beggar

Ouyang Yunyao said, "Take your time to eat. There are buns here. If you don't have enough, I'll buy some for you."

The children didn't bother to talk. They just looked at Ouyang Yunyao, nodded, and continued to stuff buns into their mouths.

Ouyang Yunyao looked at these skinny children with a heartache. They were not even as tall as their peers. Such young children have no home, no relatives, no place to live, no food, and no one to take care of them. In their place, such a young child is just an elementary school student. Which one is not protected and spoiled by the family?

After eating wontons and buns, the little boy looked at Ouyang Yunyao with bright eyes and asked timidly: "Fairy sister, your martial arts are so powerful! We will work for you, can you teach us martial arts?"

Ouyang Yunyao also wanted to help these children, and came here today with the intention of helping them. But she still wanted to guide the children to grow up healthily and be self-reliant in the future.

"Why do you want to learn Kung Fu?"

"I want to protect my sister and my friends from being bullied."

"I also want to learn Kung Fu. Fairy sister, if I learn Kung Fu I can protect my brother." The little girl said naively.

"Fairy sister, we also want to learn from you. We can do things too." The other two little boys rushed to say.

"Learning Kung Fu is a very difficult thing. Once you learn it, you can't give it up. Can you do that?"

"Fairy sister, we can do it. We are not afraid of hardship."

"I heard from these two sisters that you don't have a home, right?" Ouyang Yunyao asked.

"Sister Fairy, we live in a dilapidated temple in Lower South City. People who live in dilapidated temples have no home."

"Sister Fairy, the people living in the bridge hole are also homeless."

"Do all you guys want to learn?"

"Everyone wants to learn from the fairy sister. I will go back and ask them. Can you teach us?" The little boy looked at Ouyang Yunyao with pleading eyes.

"Okay, sister can teach you. What are your names?"

"Fairy sister, my name is Erdan." said a child who looked only six or seven years old.

"My name is Xiao Yuanzi." The little boy was about ten years old.

"Fairy sister, my name is Hanyu and my sister is Yuxin. I am eleven years old and my sister is nine. Erdan is six years old and Xiaoyuanzi is the same age as me." Ouyang Yunyao discovered that this boy named Hanyu must have had a good family background and he spoke very logically.

"How come you have no family at such a young age? Where are your parents?"

"I am from Ganzhou. My family was washed away by the flood, and I was the only one left. I followed many people to beg for food and arrived in Kyoto. Dad said that there would be food to eat in Kyoto."

"Fairy sister Goudan is very pitiful. His father was beaten to death by bad guys and his mother died of illness, so he followed us." Yuzuru did not say anything about himself.

Ouyang Yunyao thought that this Yuzuru himself had nothing to eat but he was sympathetic to the younger one. If he was trained well in the future, he would definitely be a useful person. There must be some reason why Yuzuru and his sister were stranded here. He didn't want to say it, so Ouyang Yunyao didn't ask him for the time being.

"Okay, Hanyu, let's do this. Go back and ask your friends if they are willing to help me and learn Kung Fu. The day after tomorrow afternoon, bring them to a teahouse called Tianranju on West Street to find me."

The teahouse that Ouyang Yunyao bought was previously called Tianranju. She hasn't renovated it yet, so she's not in a hurry to take down the sign.

Ouyang Yunyao asked Mei'er to give some silver to Yuzuru. Yuzuru sensibly refused. "Fairy sister, we can't take your silver."

"You still have to help me, and you must be in good health. This money is an advance payment for your future work for me. You and your friends should eat well these two days." Ouyang Yunyao asked the shop owner to make two baskets of big buns for them.

"Thank you, Fairy Sister." Hanyu responded with a red face.

After leaving the children, Ouyang Yunyao and her servants came to an alley next to Shangnan Street in Nancheng District, which is a famous dental street. There are more than a dozen dental shops of all sizes here. They looked at the situation of several dental shops and found one that seemed to be pretty good.

Ouyang Yunyao selected three maids and five servants from the pawnshop. The maids she selected all looked pretty and honest girls, and the five servants also looked smart and honest people.

Ouyang Yunyao was going to open a hot pot restaurant. She had to arrange for some children in the restaurant, and she would arrange for some to be trained in the farm in the future. She thought it would be better to have two families to manage the chores on both sides. Ouyang Yunyao asked the matchmaker to bring a few families to her. She selected two families. Both of them were very honest and ordinary country families. One family was a couple with three little boys and a girl. The other family was a couple with two boys. After finding out that both families were prostitutes, she kept them, paid the money, and agreed with the matchmaker to send them to Tianranju Teahouse on West Street in the afternoon, and then go to the government to handle the formalities together.

After Ouyang Yunyao finished the task, she took her three maids and rushed to the slave trading market on Xianan Street.

In Western Chu, there was a difference between slaves and servants. Slaves could be redeemed if they were family members of these people or had enough money, but slaves could not be redeemed. Only the owner was willing to personally submit a letter of release to the government, and only those who were not restricted by the government could change their slave status.

The slave market was semi-official in nature, because the slaves were usually people whose crimes were not light but not serious enough to be sentenced to death, and whose prison terms had expired. There were also family members of people who were sentenced to death or other serious crimes who were made slaves by the government. There were also those who were suppressed by the killer organizations that were destroyed, some big families and powerful people, and some were sold here by their enemies.

Ouyang Yunyao knew that among these people, there were many who knew some martial arts and had courage. If she could find a few good ones, it would be of great help to her intelligence network.

Xia Yan walked in front to lead the way. After they crossed the Xichuan Bridge, they arrived at Xia Nan Street.

It's very chaotic here. There are many people gathered on the side of the bridge fighting crickets, and there are also beggars on the side of the bridge.

After getting off the bridge and walking about ten meters, you will see a horizontal street called Xia Nan Street. It runs from north to south. Standing in the middle of the street, you will find that this street is also quite long.

The streets to the north are a little cleaner, but there are mostly gambling houses and brothels.

To the south, there are some simple grocery stores, butcher shops, and shops selling all kinds of miscellaneous farm tools. In the middle are small vendors selling side dishes, chickens, and fish. There is only a lane in the middle of the road that can accommodate a horse-drawn carriage, and the streets are filled with shouting.

Xia Yan told Ouyang Yunyao: "Miss, the slave markets are all along this street to the end on the south side."

"Okay, let's go check it out."

They walked through the messy Xia Nan Street and came to the end of Xia Nan Street, where they saw several slave trading markets. There were three slave trading markets here, and they seemed to be connected.

They saw the slaves to be traded from afar. They were in a row of houses in front of each family. The houses had closed iron gates facing the outside. The slaves to be traded were locked up inside. Several people were locked up together, and some were older. As soon as they walked to the door of the first house, a man who looked like a waiter came up to them and asked, "Ladies, do you need to buy slaves?"

"Yes."

"What kind of slaves do you want to buy?"

"We want to buy someone with some skills to look after our house and protect it."

"We have quite a few people here who are quite skilled."

"Then please take us there."

"Okay, ladies, please."
