Chapter 864: The Wind and the Sand
The fat man took out a silver ticket of forty taels and threw it to the slave trader, then looked at Xia Yu defiantly, and said, "Don't you want to buy both mother and daughter, I won't let you buy it." This woman is mine now, and I will drag her out and beat her to death in a while, and I will buy forty taels of silver, anyway, the uncle lacks everything, but there is no shortage of silver. ”
The fat man ordered his two servants to drag the mother to the open ground and beat her to death, and the mother and daughter wailed heartbreakingly, and even a stone man would cry at that scene.
The fat man was indifferent, and shouted at the two family members: "What are you doing in a daze, drag this woman out for me and beat her to death, hurry up!"
The two family members had not yet destroyed their humanity, and said, "Master, it's too cruel to do this, isn't it?"
"What nonsense, do you still want to do it?" the fat man yelled at the two family members.
The two family members hesitated, other people's lives were more important than their own rice bowls, and the two family members stepped forward and grabbed the mother.
Xia Yu couldn't help it, summoned the Tianxin Sword, and put it on the fat man's neck, and the fat man, who was still majestic on all sides just now, suddenly wilted like a frosted eggplant.
Xia Yu was not angry and arrogant, his voice was full of coldness, and he said: "Release the mother and daughter, and I'll give you money." ”
The fat man trembled, looked at Xia Yu, and shouted inwardly: "I don't believe it, in broad daylight, you dare to kill." ”
"I'll say it again, let the mother and daughter go," Xia Yu's eyes erupted with fire.
The fat man trembled, his clothes were soaked in cold sweat, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and finally was shocked by Xia Yu's momentum, waved his hand to the two family members, and ordered: "Release people, release people." ”
The family let go, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Xia Yu said to the mother and daughter: "You are free people now, let's go, no one dares to hurt you anymore." ”
The mother and daughter knelt on the ground and thanked them for their kindness, escaped from the slave market, and seeing that the mother and daughter were far away, Xia Yu withdrew the Tianxin Sword, threw the silver ticket on the fat man's face, and said to Wu Yunkuo and Su Jun: "Let's go." ”
Xia Yu, Wu Yunkuo, and Su Jun left the slave market and returned to the clay pot city, and the minions guarding the drawbridge told them that Fenglisha had returned to the city and invited them to meet in the city.
The minions put down the drawbridge and set up the moat, Xia Yu, Wu Yunkuo, and Su Jun sat in a carriage, drove across the drawbridge, and entered the crockpot city.
Wu Yunkuo told Xia Yu that Fenglisha was born in Jiaozhou, in the middle three states, and was a barbarian in Jiaozhou, which is next to Yangzhou, and there are close personnel exchanges between the two states.
When he was a teenager, Fenglisha was abducted and sold by traffickers, and when he arrived in Yangzhou, he became a small slave and worked for a rich man's family.
Feng Lisha was clever and cunning, and while he was working, he seduced the rich man's daughter, eloped with the rich man's daughter, and then wrote a letter to the rich man, asking the rich man to ransom his daughter with money, otherwise he would make public the matter between him and the rich man's daughter.
The rich man is a man of shame, and his daughter eloped with a slave, and if this is spread out, the fathers and fathers will be disgraced. The rich man had no choice but to give Fenglisha a sum of money and gave Fenglisha a free body.
Feng Lisha earned the first pot of gold in his life, and he used this first pot of gold to recruit a few outlaws, abduct and deceive, do all kinds of hurtful things, and become a slave trader.
Fenglisha relied on the slave trade, making more and more money, and gradually became the first slave trader in Yangzhou.
After listening to Wu Yunkuo's story, Su Jun gave a comment, "This wind is really not a good thing." ”
Xia Yu frowned, thinking to himself, the more sand in the wind is not a good thing, the more dangerous it is for Xue'er to stay in his hands, and he has to rescue Xue'er as soon as possible.
The city gate of the clay pot city was wide open, and as the two heavy city gates slowly opened, Xia Yu saw a stone-paved avenue, leading from the city gate to a palace in the distance. The palace was built on a high ground, and it was imposing, and it looked like a fairy palace.
The minions who led the way pointed to the palace, with a show off look on his face, and said to Xia Yu and them: "That is the residence of our Lord Feng - Fugui Palace, the construction of this Fugui Palace used 100,000 slaves and worked for three years. ”
Xia Yu sat in the car, remembered what he had seen and heard in the slave market, and then went to see the rich palace. Xia Yu felt that every brick and tile in the rich palace was oozing with the blood and tears of the slaves.
The coachman drove the carriage into the crockpot city and walked along the avenue towards the Fugui Palace. Xia Yu and the others looked through the car window and saw rows of houses built on both sides of the avenue, all of which were made of adobe, low and dilapidated, like matchboxes.
The house was walled on three sides, and the front was covered with iron railings, behind which a group of slaves were crowded. The slaves were unclothed, smelled foul, and looked numb, like a walking corpse.
Xia Yu looked at it and roughly estimated that there were at least two or three thousand slaves in this crockpot city.
The area of Crockpot City is not large, except for Fenglisha and a large group of slaves, and there are more than 800 minions.
All valuable slaves, slaves who are not easy to discipline, are all locked up in the crockpot city. As for the honest and worthless slaves, they were kept in the slave market.
The carriage creaked, carrying Xia Yu, Wu Yunkuo, and Su Jun, and finally arrived in front of the Fugui Palace. The Fugui Palace is built on the high ground, the foundation is very high, and there is a staircase of twenty or thirty steps, leading to the Fugui Palace. The whole book
Xia Yu, Su Jun, Wu Yunkuo, and a few entourages got out of the carriage, stepped up the steps, and walked towards Fugui Palace.
After entering the Fugui Palace, the servants led Xia Yu, Su Jun, and Wu Yunkuo to the main hall. When they arrived at the door of the main hall, the servants first passed the voice, and Feng Lisha agreed, so that Xia Yu and them could enter.
Looking at the pomp and circumstance of Fenglisha, Xia Yu couldn't help sneering in his heart, this ugly slave trader really regarded himself as the king of a country.
No matter how disgusted Xia Yu is with the wind and sand in his heart, Xia Yu still can't reveal the slightest bit on the surface.
Xia Yu, Su Jun, and Wu Yunkuo entered the main hall, and a banquet had already been set up in the hall. In the center of the main hall sat a man in his thirties, dressed in silk and satin, with a turban covering his head, his face dark, and his eyes shining.
This man is the wind and sand.
Feng Lisha sat on the ground, with a big white tiger lying beside him, and when the big tiger saw Xia Yu and them walk in, he opened his mouth and let out a roar.
Su Jun was a little scared and stopped.
Xia Yu was not afraid, and whispered to Su Jun: "Uncle, it's just a big cat, nothing to be afraid of." ”
Feng Lisha stroked the head of the white tiger, and the white tiger really looked like a big cat, putting away its hideous appearance, revealing a docile state.
Feng Lisha smiled, looked at Wu Yunkuo, and said: "Isn't this Wu Ye? I heard that Wu Ye did an earth-shattering event a few days ago, and everyone in Yangzhou knows about it. ”
Wu Yunkuo said: "Boss Feng has won the prize. ”
Feng Lisha said: "The Endless Heavenly Prison has been established for thousands of years, and no one has ever been able to successfully escape from it, Master Wu, you are the first person to break through the world. ”
Wu Yunkuo said: "How can I do it alone? This is the result of the concerted efforts of my fellow inmates. ”
Feng Lisha said: "The snake can't fly without a head, the bird can't fly without a head, if it weren't for the martial master, your leading brother, if you are a good leader, no matter how many prisoners there are, you won't be able to escape from the endless prison." ”
Wu Yunkuo didn't want to talk to the wind and the sand endlessly, pointed to Xia Yu beside him, and said, "Boss Feng, let me introduce you, this is Xia Gongzi from Jizhou." ”
Xia Yu saluted to Feng Lisha and said, "Xia has seen Boss Feng. ”
Feng Lisha looked at Xia Yu, smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Young Master Xia, sit down." ”
Xia Yu sat down with Wu Yunkuo and Su Jun.
Feng Lisha stroked the white tiger, grabbed a piece of black meat, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it with taste, and said, "Young Master Xia, you have come from afar, you must be hungry, let's talk while eating." ”
Feng Lisha made a gesture of invitation to Xia Yu and ate and drank by himself.
Xia Yu, Su Jun, and Wu Yunkuo couldn't help frowning when they looked at the wine and food on the table in front of them.
Although Fenglisha has lived in Yangzhou and the Central Plains for 20 years, in terms of food, Fenglisha still retains the habits of barbarians.
There was a plate of raw pork on the table in front of Xia Yu, and this raw pork was cut very thinly, one by one. Next to the raw pork is a small bowl filled with a sauce dipping sauce and eaten with raw pork.
Next to the raw pork was a plate with pieces of black meat and bones. Xia Yu took a closer look and almost didn't spit it out, this black meat turned out to be a roasted mouse.
The barbarian way of eating, after catching the rat and slaughtering it, peel the skin and remove the internal organs, then put it on the fire to roast, roast it, sprinkle it with seasonings, chop it and eat it.
In addition to raw pork and roast rat meat, there are also plates of bugs, such as fried centipedes and raw maggots.
Fengli Sand has a unique taste, and I like to eat fried centipedes the most, and I eat them with my hands, crunching, and eating with my mouth full of oil.
Xia Yu got goosebumps when he saw it, in terms of diet, Xia Yu was still relatively conservative, and avoided delicious foods such as snakes, rats, and insects.
Fortunately, in addition to some heavy delicacies on the table, there are also some vegetarian food, rice wine, rice cakes, and wild vegetables. Xia Yu ate rice cakes, wild vegetables, drank rice wine, and filled his stomach.
Feng Lisha asked, "I don't know how many slaves Xia Gongzi wants to buy, and what are the requirements?"
Xia Yu said: "What I want to buy is a female slave, as long as there is a look, the more the merrier." ”
Feng Lisha said with a smile: "There are beautiful female slaves in my crockpot city, not to mention five or six hundred, among them there are barbarian women, there are Central Plains women, some are mature, some are cute, some are pure, some are coquettish, in short, they are fat and thin, and they have everything." There is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't buy. ”
