Chapter One Willful Master Wen Family

The empire's eighth month of the eighth month of Wuwei

The exotic port name, as one of the few harbors in the empire that allows trade with overseas countries, Lishada Port has a very complex style.

The hot sun hangs on the top, and the humid and salty wind with the ocean smell blows over without any rush. It seems to have a vacation atmosphere, but this harbor is actually a very busy business port.

The dock is full of coolies carrying goods, cable workers leading ships into the port, and many goods from home and abroad are gathered at Lixiada Port, silk, tea, weapons, horses... The exported goods are all-encompassing, and even all kinds of people.

Before the Hundred Tribes War, the empire had a long time banning population trading, but during the Hundred Tribes War, in order to legally deal with the explosive number of prisoners of war, the empire restored its slave system. The surrounding countries and ethnic groups were stimulated. Based on the revenge, they responded simultaneously, so that the profession of slave merchants became more developed in all parties. After the war, although they were not very high and were despised by nobles and celebrities, they were all rich and even rich.

After one of the newly-danged large ships in the port, the porters who had already waited by the docks went up and moved the goods down. Although each wooden box was sealed, the scent of the ease made the fragrance tens of meters around it. Those who didn't understand only felt their blood rushing and their bodies were relaxed. Those who knew the way had wide open their eyes and were shocked.

"Ambergris whale incense? Still such a large amount?"

A merchant looked at the big ship, looked at the porter walking down, and estimated the amount of goods, "Ambergris whale incense is the best among ambergris spices. If all of them are, they are worth at least 3,000... No, more than 5,000 gold coins, the Wen family is making a fortune this time."

"Isn't that?" another merchant next to him nodded, "The owner of the Wen family is famous for his phoenixes without treasure. Every time he transports slaves, he is full of overseas treasures when he comes back, and he makes a fortune. This time, apart from ambergris whale incense, he doesn't know how many good things there are, and the local market is going to be lively again."

Similar words, many merchants nearby were talking to themselves, looking up at the cargo transported from the ship, and four other peddlers who were carrying poles onto the boat. After a while, a soft chair was added on the pole, and there was a person on the chair, comfortablely being carried down by four big men. His appearance caused these merchants to cry out loud.

"...Is it actually Wen Qubing going to sea in person this time?"

"That must be a big business! This lazy person has never gone out much. He will never sit if he can lie down, and he will never stand if he can die!"

"Hey, Wen Fei is famous, I don't know how many people sold this time to start this order business and get back so many good goods."

A sneer of sarcasm sounded in the crowd. When they heard this, everyone was silent. Slave merchants were not a popular profession, but they were not ordinary people who dared to offend casually. If they did not have enough backstage and ability, they could settle the black and white paths and traffickers in the streets in minutes. The Wen family could stand firm in this industry, which shows their ability.

"By the way... it seems that news came, the Wen family got the license..."

A weak sound made the surrounding area fall into a longer silence. The slave merchant's license was not easy to obtain. The Wen family finally got it, untied the last shackles. From now on, Hai Kuolongfei will truly become a domineering in the port.

After the owner of the Wen family on the ship was carried off the ship by four big men, he had a carriage, which had been ready to wait. A gray-haired manager stood beside the carriage, waiting for the owner to get on the car and drive back to the Wen family.

"The head of the family..."

"Don't call me so old-fashioned. Nowadays, the mainstream people call me the young master and follow the times." With a sick face, Wen Qubing gave a blank look at the old manager, "I didn't see that I was pale and I was in poor health? I was still shouting so old-fashioned. I wanted me to return early, and I was full of evil deeds?"

"But the young master... the master has been dead for a long time."

"So? I want me to go and say hello to him earlier and give the old poisonous insect a kick? I wanted to pull me together at the beginning, but I think he really deserves to be beaten by me!"

Speaking of his deceased father, Wen Qubing was still angry, but after saying a few words, he waved his hand, "Don't waste time on the useless man. Uncle, is there any interesting things during this period of time when I am not here?"

"Just about to report to you." The manager Wen cared about his correct expression and said cautiously: "After a long time of hard work, we finally obtained the license. From that moment on, we were formal slave merchants and could do business with dignity."

Although it is a legal business, it is not easy to get this license. This is the only one in the entire empire for three years. Dinan has never issued it since the war between the Hundred Tribes. I don’t know how many people stole it. The Wen family has sacrificed their lives for several years. The whole family worked together. Wen Qubing himself personally presided over it, sending out a large amount of gold and silver, using all the useful relationships, and even got a few treasures from overseas and secretly gave them out as bribes.

All the hard work has been done, and all the stones have fallen into the sea. I thought there was no hope this year, and I would like to the past. I encouraged everyone to try again next year, but when Wen Qubing went out to sea, he suddenly received this license worth more than ten thousand gold. The Wen family was shocked and almost set off firecrackers and had a banquet.

This heavyweight surprise was Wen Qubing's efforts over the past few years. He told him the news, and he must have been surprised. This was Wen's thought of caring, but he said it carefully, but saw the head of the family frowning and answered directly: "...so what?"

"Huh? I mean, we got the certificate..."

"So what if you get it? When we don't have a license, we will also transport people out and do business as usual. Will we not do smuggling and plagiarism business if we are promoted to a license? It's not a giggle business. You won't think that we are glorious because we have a certificate, right?"

This was said, not only Wen Huai Yu felt like a thunderbolt from the sky, but even the driver who drove the carriage was shocked. It was a big joy to get a business license. When the news came out, it shocked the entire Di Nan. I am afraid that only the strange man, the head of the family, would not take it seriously. Those prepared celebration banquets, ceremonies, and fireworks seemed to be all removed...

Wen Qubing said a few words, looking at the manager's behavior as if he was skeptical, he shook his head and said, "Uncle Zai, my personality is just a bit like that... I'm not merciless, in short, when I didn't get it, it was a goal. If I got it, I succeeded... I'll leave it behind, right?"

"Yes, I understand, don't waste time on people, waste, and waste. This is your usual style."

Wen cares about keeping up with his master's thinking, treating big things as a waste, throwing them away, taking out a booklet from his arms, and submitting it to him.

"This is a list of catalogs sent by Xu Du, and you are invited to participate in this year's auction and dark market."

"...Is there anything that is particularly worth paying attention to? I just came back. My normal itinerary is to eat and be lazy for half a year, so I can give it to him."

Wen Qubing implemented the true nature of a lazy person. He only glanced at the catalogue and did not intend to connect, let alone read it with his own hands. In terms of emotion and reason, he didn't believe that the old housekeeper who had been following him for a long time would have read it for him in advance.

"Some, in addition to many beauties, this time, it is said that the Nine Yin Remnants appeared."

"...You can understand what you said? Since the Nine Yin True Sutra, a bunch of secret books have liked to start with Nine Yin, which is super following the trend."

Wen Qubing complained a few times, suddenly he seemed to remember something, smiled and said, "Is it true?"

The manager did not answer, but shrugged his shoulders and looked helpless. Wen Qubing didn't say much. At this time, the red shadow blocked the way in front of the carriage. The driver hurriedly stopped the car. A girl in red, seven or eight years old, jumped up and shouted through the window.

"Uncle Wen, can you buy me? Our family hasn't eaten for a long time. If you buy me, my two younger brothers won't have to starve to death..."

The little girl tried hard to squeeze out her smiling face, opened her eyes wide, trying to give the buyer a good impression, but her body was sour and smelly, her face was pale and thin, and her exposed arms were simply thin outer covers of the bones. The smiling face that was barely squeezed out only made people feel desolate.

Wen Qubing frowned, but then smiled, stretched out his hand, touched the little girl's head that was leaning in. The girl's nervous mood was soothed, and her hand holding the car door was loosened a little, and she spoke in a low voice.

"Uncle Wen, should you buy me? Dad said, I'm still a good deal, I can do a lot of things, I can sell them at a good price, I can endure hardships, and I can do anything..."

The little girl's eyes were innocent. She probably didn't know what she meant. What did she mean when she was willing to do anything? The middle-aged manager's eyes flashed with unbearableness and wanted to persuade her. But before she could speak, she saw Wen Qubing pushing her palm and pushing the little girl down from the car door.

"Young Master!"

"drive!"

The carriage left without a trace, and I heard the girl shouting loudly from behind.

"Uncle Wen, please save our whole family and buy me..."

“…Damn it!”

Wen Qubing took the handkerchief and kept wiping his hands hard, and said impatiently: "We are now genuine businessmen with a brand. We are doing the right thing. The quality of the goods is very important. All the goods are not decent. What should I do if I sell them? You, don't always have a lot of sympathy. Maybe it's an assassin. Keep your eyes open. If there is anything similar, I will even sell you to the fire pit!"

"Yes, Master."

"Stop calling the young master. You hate following the trend. Just call the head of the family if you have something new."

"………Yes.” The orders changed every day, Wen cared about his face and looked unchanged, "The head of the family."

"Ha, I'm so willful."

The carriage quickly left, and the little girl couldn't catch up. She fell to the ground with tears in her eyes. She slowly got up, and was suddenly pulled up by a force. She saw two gangster-like men, with obscene eyes, looking at her up and down.

"Isn't this the Tao family's Jiuniang? Your family still owes us money."

"You just said you would do anything, but you are still a young man? Everyone is so familiar with you. Instead of being cheaper than Wen Qiandao, it is better to take advantage of our brothers first."

The two gangsters smiled grimly, and the girl kept trembling. Suddenly, a figure appeared in her eyes, and someone came behind the two gangsters.

"Hello!"

He was taking action while saying hello, and the blade light flashed without patience, and blood suddenly appeared, and two heads that were still smiling on their own rolled to the ground...
