After discussing one thing, Han Du asked about another thing.
"In a few days, I and His Highness will continue sailing west to the legendary Kingdom of Heaven. I wonder if you will wait for my return in Hurumos, or are you willing to go with us?"
Fu Yong suddenly laughed, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for taking care of the common people. The common people are willing to go to Tianfang with His Highness the Marquis."
Han Du smiled hoarsely, and then asked, "You...you just agreed without asking other people what they thought? You can make the decision for others. I think you should go back and ask them first." I think so. Anyway, I will have to wait a few days before setting off, so I am not in a hurry."
Fu Yong stood up, shook his head and said: "Master Hou, ordinary people know that they will not miss such an opportunity without asking them. Those of us who are maritime merchants, what we want most is to go as far away as possible Do business in places. Because only the further away the place is, the fewer people will go there, so that the common people can make more profits. Follow the Marquis to Tianfang, this is the Marquis taking care of the common people, and they will not disagree of."
"Okay." Han Du saw that Fu Yongdu said this, so he believed what he said, "However, all your goods are sold out now. Even if you go to Tianfang, you won't be able to make a profit, right?"
"Hahaha, there is really no way for the common people to make a profit this time." Fu Yong nodded and said directly: "But it is good for the ordinary people to take this opportunity to explore the road. Wait until the next time you go there and you will be familiar with the road."
When Han Du saw that Fu Yong had such thoughts, the worries in his heart completely dissipated. He waved his hand towards him and said: "In that case, then go back and prepare. I estimate that we may set off in a few days."
The woman's slave had been assigned to work for several days, and Han Du felt that she might not be able to hold on for a few more days.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis. The common people will go back and prepare now." Fu Yong saluted Han Du, took two steps back and left the room.
Fu Yong walked to the door and immediately saw the housekeeper and slave girl waiting outside. He didn't know the female slave, so he was just stunned for a moment, then raised his head and left.
In Fu Yong's opinion, although this woman is good-looking, her skin is as white as a ghost. She feels a little chilly when she looks at her during the day. What if she is not frightened when she sees her at night? Therefore, he ran away quickly as if avoiding a ghost.
Shi Si then walked out and saw the housekeeper with the slave girl. The slave girl's face no longer had the original rebellious look, and became much more submissive.
A smile appeared on Shi Si's face and he said, "Come in, the master is waiting for you."
"Thank you, Master." The butler replied quickly, turned around and said to the slave girl.
The female slave saw that the housekeeper had taken a few steps, but her feet seemed to have taken root and did not move at all.
The housekeeper noticed that the slave girl did not follow him, turned around, glared, and cursed fiercely.
The slave girl trembled all over, showing a fearful look, biting her lip and followed closely behind the housekeeper.
Han Du was lowering his head and planning something and didn't notice anyone coming in.
Seeing this, Shi Si stepped forward lightly and reminded in a low voice: "Master Marquis, the housekeeper and the slave girl are here." After saying that, he quietly stepped away and waited quietly aside.
Han Du then raised his head and glanced at the slave girl. He saw that the slave girl's body was covered with mud and dirt, and her clothes had become tattered.
He asked with a smile: "Now you finally know your identity, right? You are just a slave bought by me. Even if I kill you immediately, it is right. So, don't think about it. Bargain with me, I have all the means to make you surrender and obey me. The reason why I don't use it is because I don't want to use it, not because I don't know how to use it. Do you understand?"
The words were a bit long, and Shi Si relayed them for a long time before the slave girl understood what Han Du meant.
The female slave is also a person of extraordinary origin. She has never suffered such injustice since she was a child. Han Du's words were like tearing off all her pride, all her dignity, and all her fig leaves.
The slave girl felt a wave of unspeakable humiliation that instantly enveloped her body, and she couldn't help but cry.
Her crying did not gain Han Du's sympathy, but made Han Du furious. He said in a deep voice: "Shut up, don't cry. If you cry again, I will sell you to a tavern to work as a prostitute. Wherever you go, slowly cry!"
Han Du's words were extremely intimidating to the slave girl. The slave girl looked at Han Du with horror on her face and stopped her crying instantly, for fear that she would really be sold there. If she was really sold there, she would never be able to recover.
Where is the tavern? Most of the time though, it's a place to drink. In the tavern, the lowest quality wine is sold, and it is just a place for the entertainment of the lowest people. But there are also special groups of people in the tavern, and that is the girls who are welcomed and escorted in the tavern. These people are said to be girls, serving wine and food to the guests. But to put it harshly, they are just a bunch of prostitutes. Faced with rude and cruel mercenaries and sailors, they sometimes simply cannot refuse their requests. There were even people who were executed directly in the tavern in front of everyone. Moreover, even so, no one would sympathize with them, let alone say a word for them.
The slave girl quickly wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and immediately knelt down towards Han Du.
A surprised smile appeared on Shi Si's face. He didn't expect that the slave girl was so afraid of that place. She whispered to Han Du: "Master Marquis, she gave in. She swore to Master Marquis with her spirit that she would forever Be loyal to the Marquis and obey any orders from the Marquis."
Han Du looked at the female slave coldly, "This is really a candle. It won't light up unless it is lit. If Han Du hadn't seen that there was no suitable candidate besides her, Han Du would not have talked so much with her. He would have been so long ago. So he sold her."
"Since you have surrendered to me, I will not care about what happened in the past. But remember your oath. If you dare to violate it in the future, I will make your life worse than death!"
Seeing Han Du's anger, the housekeeper tremblingly led the slave girl to kneel down. Then at Shi Si's signal, the slave girl was taken out.
After the housekeeper left with the slave girl, Shi Si asked in a low voice: "Master Marquis, do you believe her just like that?"
Han Du looked up at Shi Si and sneered, "I never believe in any oaths. But I believe that if we give her hope at this time, she can at least work for us wholeheartedly for now. Go ahead and ask Fu Yong Give her some sets of ladies' clothes."
"Yes." Shi Si replied immediately.
Han Du waved his hand and sent Shi Si away. He lowered his head again and said in a deep voice, "Since this slave girl has surrendered, it is time to prepare to go to Tianfang Kingdom without further delay."
...
Shi Si quickly caught up with the housekeeper and the slave girl, raised his hand and pointed at the slave girl, and said, "You, come with me."
After saying that, he walked towards the outside of the manor with his hands behind his back.
The female slave stood there hesitating, not knowing whether to follow Shi Si. She turned around to ask the housekeeper for help, but when she turned back, she saw that the housekeeper had already left in another direction and had gone some distance away.
After hesitating for a few breaths, the slave girl finally did not follow the housekeeper. Instead, he gritted his teeth and ran towards Shi Si quickly.
Shi Si left the manor with the female slave, walked down the hillside, came to the bay, and boarded a large cargo ship with Fu Yong and others.
This was the first time for the female slave to see such a huge ship with a tall hull. The closer she got, the more she felt a great pressure.
When she and Shi Si boarded the ship together, the slave girl was deeply shocked by the feeling of walking on the wooden planks. She had never boarded such a huge ship.
Fu Yong got the news of Shi Si's arrival and immediately stood on the deck to greet him. Seeing Shi Si stepping down from the hanging basket, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Master Shi, what kind of wind brought you here? Fu Yong missed the opportunity to meet you from afar, please forgive me."
Shi Si laughed loudly, shook his head and said: "I don't have an official position, but I can't be the adult you call me. Besides, this is not the first time we have met, Mr. Fu, so why are you trying to blame me?"
Fu Yong smiled and agreed: "For us, an official position is as difficult as reaching the sky. But for you, Mr. Shi, it is within easy reach. That is to say, you are not willing to work in the Old Port Governor's Mansion, otherwise you would have He already has an official position."
Shi Si smiled and said: "Dong Fu, you think highly of me. It is my brother who works in the Old Port Governor's Mansion. In terms of talent, I dare not compare with my brother. So, Dong Fu, please don't call me "Sir" in the future. If it spreads, wouldn't it make people laugh?"
"No!" Fu Yong shook his head repeatedly, "On the contrary, in my opinion, Lord Shi has a greater future than Brother Ling, and your official position is nothing to you."
"The First Cause of All Realms"
"Then I hope you will give me the best of luck." Shi Si was not a saint. Of course, he still had a desire for fame and wealth.
Fu Yong came closer with a smile and whispered: "Master Shi is not asking for my good wishes, but for the great blessings of the Marquis."
Shi Si immediately understood what Fu Yong meant. In fact, he also knew this. He nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "What Mr. Fu said makes sense, makes sense!"
"We are acquaintances. I saw Master Shi fall in love today, so I might as well tell him something." Fu Yong looked into Shi Si's eyes and said with a smile.
Shi Si suddenly became curious, and said with a chuckle: "If Mr. Fu has any advice, it doesn't matter. Shi Si is all ears."
Fu Yong showed a satisfied smile on his face, stroked his beard and said, "Master Hou and I have known each other very early."
As soon as Fu Yong opened his mouth, Shi Si was shocked. Originally, he thought that Fu Yong was a large merchant and a wealthy owner, but he didn't know that he and the Marquis had known each other for a long time.
