Tang Wen led his men into the courtyard where the mother and daughter lived and looked around.

Wu Hao said, "It's a bit too small. It's barely enough for living, let alone raising beasts."

Tang Wen nodded and went up to the roof with him.

The two of them looked down from above.

After making a judgment, Tang Wen pointed to the six courtyards below and said:

"If we can take this whole area, with four courtyards for raising exotic beasts and the two over there connected for me to live in, that would be perfect."

Wu Hao smiled and said with a long drawl, "That's probably going to cost some money."

"How much will it cost?"

Wu Hao didn't know either and looked back at his subordinates.

Someone estimated:

"These are all tenants. The houses belong to our Blackwater Gang. But to get people to move and hire people to dig, it'll cost about two or three thousand taels."

The people who live here have some status.

You can't just kick them out; you have to give them some money so they can find another place to live.

Hearing that it would cost so much, someone did the math:

Wu Hao had more than twenty subordinates.

If everyone split it, it would be over a hundred taels each.

So they started to back down:

"Should we look around some more?"

Wu Hao looked at Tang Wen, letting him make the decision.

The latter said, "I think this place is quiet enough not to attract attention. Three thousand it is."

"I'll pay for this money together with Commander Tang!" Wu Hao immediately stated.

"How can we let the two commanders pay?"

"That's right, I think we should all chip in for this silver."

"That's how it should be. We still need the two commanders to take care of us, don't we?"

Everyone nodded.

Tang Wen didn't say anything.

Wu Hao thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Commander Tang Wen and I will each pay one thousand, and the rest will be covered by you."

"This?"

"It's settled then. You all have families! It's just a thousand taels. At worst, Commander Tang and I will go to the Hundred Flower House a few less times."

"Hahahaha"

After Wu Hao finished speaking, everyone laughed.

When everyone finished laughing, Tang Wen restrained his smile: "Then the sooner the better, let's get this done! The sooner we get it done, the sooner we can earn some money for our commander to go to the Hundred Flower House."

Everyone laughed again.

Everyone naturally cared about making money.

They immediately split up.

Some went to the gang to find acquaintances to check the roster and see who lived nearby.

After all, knowing yourself and your enemy is Tang Wen's style.

What if there really are people with strong backgrounds who like the quiet here?

Wouldn't it be offending them to death if they rashly knocked on their doors and asked them to move without finding out first?

Some went directly to the nearby teahouses and restaurants to inquire.

See if there are any hidden dangers nearby, and if so, find a way to avoid them as soon as possible.

Also, they had to ask clearly which commander of the Blackwater Gang was in charge of this area.

...Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Before long, a funeral procession arrived from outside the city.

The mother and daughter wiped away their tears and supported each other as they went forward to greet them.

Their family wasn't a large clan, and without a man in charge, the funeral was kept simple.

Only the coffin was decent, and the offerings were sufficient.

Tang Wen didn't look any further and was pulled away by Wu Hao, leaving together on horseback and heading straight to a restaurant.

After ordering wine and dishes, the two sat down to eat, drink, and talk slowly.

"Brother Tang is new here and doesn't even have anyone to serve him. How about I give you two female slaves?"

Before Tang Wen could refuse.

Wu Hao began to talk non-stop: "Speaking of which, our experiences are similar. We both came from small places, then wandered to the Four Seas Camp, spent money to find Elder Li, and joined the gang.

However, I'm not as good as you, brother.

When I came, I wasn't even a martial artist.

Fortunately, Elder Li was fair and valued me, which gave me a chance to rise.

In just over a year, I broke through to Martial Master, it was like a dream."

After Wu Hao finished talking about himself, he turned to look at Tang Wen.

The meaning was obvious, we are partners in the future, we have to understand each other, right?

Tang Wen naturally understood and immediately said what he had prepared:

"I came from the north. Our village is hidden in a mountain valley.

Life was okay at first, until one day, an old man covered in blood came to the village.

He was my later beast-controlling master.

Their stronghold was destroyed by a powerful camp nearby.

He was lucky to escape to our village.

Later, I learned from him. He had seen the world and always told me how good it was outside.

After hearing it so much, I wanted to go out and see the world.

After all, our village doesn't have a visualization technique. Staying in the village, that's all there is to life.

While I'm young, it's good to go out and venture."

Wu Hao nodded and said, "Brother is right! So brother has formally studied under a master, no wonder your words are different from us roughnecks."

Tang Wen immediately became displeased: "Brother Wu, what are you saying? I am also a roughneck!"

The two chatted about some idle things.

They added another jar of wine and a half-grown whole sheep.

Eating and drinking, soon, the sun set and evening came.

Suddenly, the guests at the next table settled their bill.

As two drunken guys passed behind Tang Wen, they said:

"I heard that another batch of female slaves has been tamed at the Slave Pavilion. I have to go see them tomorrow."

"You guy, still buying slaves? If you buy more, you'll have seventeen at home, right?"

"Hehe, you're wrong. A full twenty. Twenty female slaves serving me day and night, I wouldn't trade it for being a gang leader!"

"Silence! You've had a couple of pounds of wine, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"..."

The two gradually walked away.

Tang Wen glanced at their backs.

Wu Hao also heard the conversation between the two and smiled, "Brother, you haven't been to the [Slave Pavilion] since you arrived, have you?"

Tang Wen frankly said, "I haven't been there, but I have been to the slave market over at the Four Seas Camp."

"Hahahaha," Wu Hao suddenly laughed out loud: "You don't understand, do you?"

Tang Wen looked at him.

"Brother doesn't know, the biggest slave trader in the world is in our city."

Saying that, he whispered the word "Huang."

The Huang family in the inner city.

They mainly do the business of buying and selling people.

Tang Wen knew this.

"Then does brother know that this Huang family has a [Slave Factory]?"

What?

Slave Factory, a place where slaves work?

As soon as Tang Wen said this, Wu Hao immediately laughed mercilessly:

"My silly brother, it's not a factory where slaves work. It's a factory that produces slaves!"

"Ah? Aren't slaves just people? Aren't they all captured from the outside? How can they be produced?"

Tang Wen put down his wine glass, his face full of confusion.

"Hehe, I was also shocked when I first saw it."

Wu Hao, this outsider, a guy from a small place, began to show off to Tang Wen.

"When brother was in the village, were there many beautiful women?"

Tang Wen hadn't stayed in the village, but he knew for sure that there wouldn't be many.

"That's right, then do you think there are many beautiful women in Ganshan City?"

"Not few."

Indeed, not few. He had only been here for a short time.

He had already seen dozens of brothels on the roadside.

Each one was large-scale, and couldn't support the scene without hundreds of beautiful girls.

Thinking of this, he suddenly froze.

It seems abnormal!
