Chapter 1060 Many officials also came

e shouldn't have sneaked a bite just now.This guy is tall and has long legs. He strides with a powerful presence, carrying a wild boar weighing over a hundred pounds and still moving so fast. It's alm...Since the assassination attempt at Wuding Houfu, Yuan Buyu seemed to have become silent. The Prime Minister's residence also started shutting its doors and refusing visitors, not allowing anyone in anymore.

Fang Jinshi listened to Chang He's report and just nodded.

"At least for now, we don't have to worry about Yuan Buyu causing us trouble anymore."

Zong Bai said, "Yuan Xiang's faction has also begun to restrain themselves in the court. It seems that the departure of the Second Prince has dealt a heavy blow to them."

"Without a leader, the dragons can only huddle together for now."

Fang Jinshu didn't understand so much, but subconsciously felt that Yuan Buyu wasn't the type who would shrink back and dare not move just because the second prince was away.

He's not moving, there must be a reason.

"Sister-in-law, I heard about this talent recruitment event. The assassin was right."

"This is the black market for human organ sales. Unlike legitimate dental clinics, things here are much more brutal."

Furthermore, the slaves in the black market mostly had unknown origins. Once they appeared there, it was almost impossible for them to regain their freedom. They were like fish on a chopping board, only able to be slaughtered at will.

"Let's say it's a talent recruitment, in reality, it's just a place where people are treated like livestock."

After listening to Zong Bai's words, everyone fell silent. The Mu family and Yu Lian simply couldn't believe that such a place existed in the world.

"Kyoto Castle was the emperor's domain, and the most peaceful capital of all Daxia. To think that such a dark and gloomy place existed here."

"Those slaves are so pitiful."

Mu Shiguang listened and felt uncomfortable. Living people were treated like livestock, being selected and bought and sold, completely losing their dignity and freedom as human beings. If not driven by desperation, no one would willingly appear there.

"Jinxiu, last time you said the Hou Mansion needed many people, right This time when you go to the Recruitment Fair, buy more people back."

"They are all pitiful people. It's a good deed to lend a hand."

Although Yulian felt sorry for the slaves at the Recruiting Talents Assembly, she couldn't help but frown and try to stop her mother when she heard her words.

"Mother, haven't you heard what Second Brother said about the situation there It's a mixed bag of people. Not everyone there is pitiful, there might be many vicious criminals as well."

"What if the person we bring back from buying them causes trouble for our family"

Mu quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, Yulian is right. Well then, you guys just look around and buy. If you come across someone in need, bring them back."

Anyway, there are still jobs to be done at Zhuangzi.

Fang Jinshi smiled. "Mother, don't worry, I already had this plan."

"If I meet the right people, I'll hire more."

Yulian was a little restless, "Sister-in-law, I, can I go with you all"

She wanted to develop her business, and naturally that required manpower.

Before Fang Jinxiu could even speak, Zong Yu had already flatly refused.

"No."

Jade Lotus hurriedly grabbed Fang Jinxiu's hand, "Sister-in-law, look at Big Brother."

She suddenly thought of something and leaned close to Zong Yu, whispering, "Brother, if you don't take me, I'll tell Mother that you sent the gold ingots to the army camp."

Zong Yu's brow furrowed, and she glared at Yu Lian.

Fortunately, she had her sister-in-law by her side to support her, so Yulian wasn't afraid of her older brother at all.

“Alright, just bring Jade Lotus with you. If you're afraid of being recognized, we can all wear masks. Nobody will recognize anyone then, and we won't get into trouble.”

Yu Lian nodded vigorously, "Sister-in-law is right. I'll wear a mask and follow behind you guys, I won't cause any trouble."

"Big brother, please."

Zhong Yu could only nod helplessly. As he was about to leave, Zhao Xingzhou suddenly followed him.

"Madam, allow me to go with you."

Fang Jinshi subconsciously glanced at Zong Yu's expression. She felt that Zhao Xingzhou following along wouldn't be a bad idea, after all, Yu Lian was there too, and having more people who knew martial arts could also look after her better.

She was just a vinegar jar at home, couldn't stand to see other men around her. To convince Ayu to agree to Zhao Xingzhou accompanying them, she had to spend some tongue-in-cheek persuasion.

This time, before she could even open her mouth, Zong Yu actually nodded in agreement.

"Okay."

He only said faintly, "Protecting Yu Lian is your biggest mission this time."

In the past, Jinxiu had let go of all grievances and didn't hold them against Zhao Xingzhou. Naturally, he wouldn't openly confront him, as that would only upset Jinxiu.

To Zong Yu's agreement, Zhao Xingzhou was also a little surprised.

"Understood, my lord. Please rest assured."

Unexpectedly, after fighting in the border for four years, this fellow has shown some progress in his outlook.

Before getting on the car, Zong Yu's face instantly turned cold. In a place where Fang Jinxiu couldn't see, he silently twitched the corner of his mouth.

Yu Lian joyfully climbed onto the carriage, and the four of them set off towards the venue for the Grand Assembly of Talent.

The venue for the Gathering of Talents was provided by a mysterious wealthy businessman from the capital. No one knew who he was, and no one could find any information about him. Before they left, Fang Jinshu specially asked Zong Bai.

Zong Bai said that about the owner of this place, nothing could be found. It was as if there were many invisible obstacles preventing them from getting information about this person.

Fang Jinshi silently made a note of this, if there was an opportunity, she would meet this person. She should be able to get a lot of useful information from him.

The venue is not located within Kyoto Castle, but rather in a large manor house on the outskirts.

At the beginning, they didn't see any carriages or people on the road. As they gradually approached the estate of the Grand Assembly for Talented Individuals, carriages appeared one after another.

These people didn't need to take the slaves home themselves. They just had to pay and write down their address. People in the manor would deliver the bought slaves, so everyone came lightly equipped, some even rode horses directly here.

Fang Jinshu sat in the carriage, peering through the gaps in the curtains at the mounted guests. Judging by their attire, they must all be either very wealthy or of high status.

Many buyers were wearing face masks, seemingly trying to avoid being recognized. There were quite a few of them.

"These masked buyers included officials from the imperial court."

Zong Yu observed these people and said, "Look at their boots."

Fang Jinshu's gaze swept past, at first she didn't see anything. When she saw the little maidservants following them, she finally understood.

They were dressed impeccably themselves, but they had forgotten to change the shoes of their attendants.

The attendees of this recruitment fair are generally not ordinary people. Low-ranking officials wouldn't need to come here to buy and sell slaves.

If your household needs servants, just go to the pawnshop.

Those few wearing masks, but with attendants still in official boots, must be officials from the court, and their ranks probably aren't low.

Fang Jinshu was puzzled, "What are these officials buying slaves for at the slave market"

"Aren't there enough people at home"

Zongyu suddenly said, “It's also possible that it's like Yuan Xiang, buying back these slaves and cultivating them into assassins.”

Fang Jinshi stiffened, suddenly thinking of a possibility.

Yuan Buyu sent so many assassins twice to deal with them, and both times they were defeated. Will he also use this talent recruitment meeting to continue recruiting assassins silent, but she seemed quite satisfied with the doctor's diagnosis.She took her own pulse and found that she was in good health. There was nothing wrong with her.As for the issue of amnesia.Zhao Xing...
