On their way to new residence.
They bought some tools for gardening ,shovel sickel .axe and knifes etc.
Some daily necessities for living .
Mattress,blankets ,pots ,burner ,buckets ,kitchen ware .some clothes and brooms .
4 carriages fully loaded followed them to residence.all of these only cost them 1 gold in coin .Lin tian felt buying necessities for 50 people was cheaper than buying single slave .
They also bought vegetable seeds and week worth of vegetables all for 1 gold coin too .
When they came near the house .The transporter refused to carry goods in creepy house .
Elder qiang had to ask the slaves to come out of house and gather .Seeing elder qiang Slaves hurriedly gathered and followed him .
When they came out of residence they looked at the supplies in the carriages.Their reaction was happy .thinking they won't be treated badly .
Different from others who were gawking at supplies .Mingzhu went in front of lin tian and kneeled ."Greetings master,have a good day"
Elder qiang nodded he coughed .but slaves didn't notice .He shouted .
"Attention slaves .Greet your master first"
Only than did they bowed not kneeled and greeted .
"May you live long master "
"Greetings master "
Elder qiang wasn't pleased with their attitude .
"They had resigned themselves to their fate .But not willing to accept lin tian as master in hearts .maybe because he was young .They needed to be taught mannerisms .
"All males carry these supplies inside .mingzhu you keep eye on them and see no supplies is left behind "lin tian after saying that entered the house with Elder qiang.
"Yes master "mingzhu
Among the slaves 10 were males 3 females .
It took little over an hour to carry all supplies inside the house .after the carriages were empty .they went to their respective shops they belonged too .
Inside the house .lintian was seated on wooden chair .
All slaves gathered in front of him .under elder qiang's instructions they stood in line .
"My young master wants to grow herbs in courtyard .all of you males will work outside and cut the unnecessary grass "
"After that you will till the fields for growing vegetables and herbs ."
"Females will clean the house inside out .leave no dust behind .make this house clean enough for living humans . start with rooms "
" After you are done eating .Take any tools necessary for your work .we have bought everything here .pick up and go to your work "Elder qiang said .
"Mingzhu you will see that everyone is working .if there is anyone relaxing we will blame you "lin tian
"Yes master "mingzhu
After they gave instructions.They left the residence.
******
They arrived infront of myriad flavor restaurant.
There was long lines of homeless people in front of restaurant.
As they had paid yesterday.The restaurant was distributing food to everyone .
The homeless lined up could easily number 500 .young and old ,males and females,Childs and toddlers .
When some homeless saw lin tian they lowered their heads and tried to hide .
Elder qiang had already noticed them .He looked at them with rage .
Lin tian grabbed one bowl of rice and curry . however it wasn't upto his taste . afterall they had choosen 2nd cheapest dish for homeless to eat .
After they were sure .The restaurant was indeed keeping his promise and distributing food .They wanted to left .
At this time .
"F*** this pests are blocking the whole road .get lost "
Snap .a whip swinging hit 4-5people .They fell and screamed in pain .
They saw a carriage coming towards the restaurant.The strikes from whip continued hurting people .They saw a luxurious carriage coming there way .
"So you are the restaurant distributing free food .who told you to do that "
"It's enough for these pests to survive on expired bread "
"Close your restaurant or I will break it down "
On the luxurious carriage There was young man dressed in noble clothing sitting on carriage .behind him were 4 youngsters .
His coachman was swinging the whip to hurt homeless people .He grabbed the person serving food in front by neck .while choking him he said .
"My lord is asking you something.who told you to distribute free food.close it or we will destroy your restaurant"
"This...they are there "staff pointed at lin tian and elder qiang.
Coahman released staff .He fell on his butt . Looking at lin tian coachman swung his whip .
Before it could touch lin tian .it was grabbed by elder qiang.
"So you are the one who ruined my young master's hunt ."
"You old man how dare you stop my whip.dont you know who this carriage belongs too .Let me tell you it's kang clan "
When others heard they were fearful of the name .but lin tian had no idea .what kang clan was .
Elder qiang explained releasing his grip on whip ."Kang clan is 3rd strongest clan of sword edge city.They have fearsome power and reputed to be even more arrogant than no. 1 "
"That's right now you know better to close this charity before you offend my lord "coachman hollered.
Than as though taking guaranteed.he shouted to the crowd of homeless persons .
"My lord is feeling generous today.And decided to help some of you.my lord will be buying servants for his residence.1 silver for each person .Sold yourself for a great price .you days of homelessness are over .you can sell yourself and get the honor of serving my lord ."
However no person moved .in fact 1 silver was minimum price to buy a slave .After lin tian bought mingzhu for 30 gold coins .Inthe perception of crowd .using gold coins to buy slaves seemed normal.
Plus it was rumoured that this kang lord bought slaves everyday. however none of them had seen by anyone later on .They might not even be alive .Their kang clan had reputation of mistreating servants .They didn't see servants as human .
Seeing no one moving .coachmen shouted again.
"What are you standing still . you don't want to serve my lord .with a silver coin .you can eat great food .you don't have to hungry anymore .nor have to sleep on hard floor or in dirty places .And also you can earn monthly salary "coachmen
An old man came out from crowd .
"Young man a silver coin is too little .if you buy me for a gold coin .I am willing to sell myself ."
"Old man you are already half dead .you think you are worth a good coin .half silver will do for you .come here .Any other who doesn't want to go hungry today and wants to live better .come forward"
Nobody came forward even old man backed off .They had just witnessed this young lord and coachmen beating homeless people for no reason .They would definitely be treated bad once they became his servant .No to mention the price was too low to even consider selling themselves.
Some of the homeless who had collected coins yesterday.felt lin tian was more generous than kang clan lord . atleast he had thrown silver bars just to casually shake them off .And he was buying them for a gold coin .Though he seemed cruel too it was better than kang lord .
"You think the price is too little I will double it .2 silver coins for a person.Per month salary 2 silver coin.come forward and take it .I know you are all hungry .with silvers you don't have to eat standing in sunlight .you can also eat good food in restaurants.come forward and get the chance to earn 2 silver and serve the kang lord "
"Excuse me sir but the price is indeed two little "A lady in dirty dress came forward.
"For 2 gold coins I will sell myself "
Seeing no reaction from crowd the young kang lord came forward.
"You think you are worth 2 gold .what are you courtesan from fragrance brothel .2 silver is enough for you come to me ".young lord sneered
But lady backed off hiding behind others.
"A silver coin is enough to buy you .However you don't want to eat good food .to live in good environment and serve the clan heir of kang clan me .all of you are missing good chance to change your future ."
"This is the last chance come forward and become my servant .serve me and earn monthly salary"kang lord shouted .however nobody moved .He was feeling indignant.
With kang clan's name he used to lord over everyone within the city .only notable clans and other goverment figures didn't care about him .He was buying servants every other day with 1 or 2 silvers .
He would give them promise 2 silver per month salary .And they would turn brainless
Willing to serve him .Before month ended they would become nourishment for his cultivation.Either dead or paralyzed close to death .But when he came to buy them today .No one was willing to sell themselves.
Moreover their faces were happy .after a little investigation they got to know . someone was distributing free food .since they could eat there was no need to sell themselves.However with homeless people as stepping stone his cultivation increased greatly in these days .How could he not buy slaves .But the pocket money given to him from clan was very limited.He had long spent it on his pleasure.
"Guards destroy all these free food they are distributing.i will see how long you can go hungry .How long it will take you to sell yourself"kang lord ordered
From behind the lines of homeless people many guards came forward.gathering the homeless people together .Only than lin tian realized why these homeless people didn't escape .They couldn't.
"Young master go inside restaurant and don't interfere.even their guards have cultivation base ."qiang
Guards surrounded them from both sides of the road .
"Destroy all these food and kitchenware.How long will you all go hungry .you have no choice but to become my servant .I only need 10 of you for now "kang lord
"Don't... don't destroy these food I am willing to be your servant .let others eat "
10 people came out of crowd willing to sacrifice themselves for others .
"You coming forward is fine .but nobody tells me what to do .destroy all these food ."kang lord
"No my lord don't destroy the food .my chillrens haven't eaten anything "
"Lord you don't know how much valuable is food for us . don't destroy it "
Instantly there were pleadings from the crowd . however kang sheng didn't care.
"Lord kang I am afraid you can't destroy this food ."qiang came forward to speak .
"Why do you need compensation.you can ask it from my clan "kang sheng
"No.what I want to say is .This free food distribution was approved by magistrate's.Are you sure you want to destroy it ."
Qiang smiled and said .
"What "kang sheng was stunned .than shook his head magistrate was highest authority in the city .but he never interfered let alone for this small event .
"Do you think your lie will work .you have further offended me now I will destroy restaurant along with all food. "
"If young lord does not believe me .you can check the document.it is personally signed by magistrate himself .or you can destroy this document to be more sure "qiang handed him document which stated .This food distribution was just cause and helped homeless people .it shouldn't be stopped before this month's end.Any forces trying to interfere will be against the law and will face magistrate's might & judgement "
Kang sheng frowned .The sign and stamp was in place .this shouldn't be fake .
"Stop . don't destroy anything "he stopped his guards .
"Who are you old man "
"No one important "
"What are you trying to acheive by distributing free food "kang sheng
"Nothing my young master is kind and doesn't want anyone to go hungry "qiang replied calmly.
"Good....good your master is sympathetic towards this peasants.but tell him not to interfere with me again "kang sheng said. Condescending.
The crowd saw food distribution resuming .And guards didn't stop anyone .so no one came forward to sacrifice themselves.
"Guards grab these peasants .we will take them for free .coach men grab that lady from before .today she must prove to me why she is worth 2 gold coins ."kang sheng ordered
Coach men jumped and landed in front of the lady .easily he grabbed her .The lady saw no chance of escape .she shouted .
"Wait....wait I am already someone else property.young lord from yesterday already bought me "the lady shouted .she also brought out silver bar from her bosom to prove it .
Elder qiang who was about to enter restaurant felt trouble brewing .
Very soon others followed suit and replied .
"We are young master's property don't grab us "
"I am already sold .you can't buy me "
"Who is the owner of all of you .if you are already sold what are you doing here "keng sheng askedm
"The young man with that old man is our owner.you have to ask him before doing anything to us .these silver bars are proof ."shouted one man with family .
"Old man is what they are saying true ."kang sheng asked
Qiang was about to reject but thinking they had given money to them . logically they belonged to his young master .but he wouldn't stop lord kang from taking them .this will teach them lesson.
He nodded.
Kang sheng ordered "release those who have silvers on them "
Guards started grabbing other nearby people .
"Wait...that's my child .She is also bought by young master "
"Oh where is silver " the guard snorted
"We don't have silver .but we have gold coins.our whole family is sold to young master and we were paid gold coins."
"I sold my family for silver bar "
Very soon others homeless people found out by declaring themselves young man's property they could save themselves.So they all sang his name .
Kang sheng was furious .
