The brokerages across Fengri City's jurisdiction have been particularly busy of late; the families of Sinful Officials are being delivered here for sale. The so-called "upper-tier" folks who used to command slaves themselves are now reduced to slaves, awaiting categorization and training. Who knows how many of them will simply become "losses" in the brokerages.
Normally, there are very few Sinful Official households, especially those noble young ladies and wealthy madams—they're highly sought after. The brokerage staff are both busy and thrilled, a chance to make a hefty profit.
In addition to the influx of Sinful Official families needing intake and arrangements, the buying demand is through the roof. From cooks to servants, nursing home guards, maids, coachmen, and so on—the demand is several times the usual. The once-plentiful slave reserves are now suddenly stretched thin.
