Zufeng City is distributed in four directions, east, west, north and south, and the nobles occupy three directions, leaving only a small barren area in the south of the city for civilians to live, and Ning Yu's home is in this small village in this barren area.

On the way home, there is a small bazaar, with a wide variety of items, from daily necessities to magical fighting utensils, dazzling and lively, but like most bustling cities, there is always a trace of gloom lingering under the seemingly prosperous appearance.

The so-called second-class civilians are nothing more than a classification of the ordinary people under the empire.

The Empire divided the common people into three classes, the highest class and the lowest class third, each with the power of the current class but without any privileges.

Ordinary people are slaves, slaves have no hierarchy, they are the lowest level of society, and the life and death of honor and disgrace are all in the thoughts of the slave owner.

Above the common people are the nobility, from the lowest to the highest are knights, barons, viscounts, earls, marquises, dukes and grand dukes, except for the grand duke, the rest of the nobles are roughly divided into three ranks, such as third-class knights, second-class knights, etc.

The nobles and above are the royal family, and the royal family is supreme and is the supreme ruler of the empire, but in Ning Yu's opinion, it is nothing more than a group of very few people who occupy most of the resources, and it may be impossible for him to deal with this kind of person in his life.

"Boss, do you want to collect the Seven Star Leaves?" Ning Yu stopped in front of a small stall with various medicinal herbs, and the expression on his face was a little helpless, because if he sold it to the stall owner here, it would be much less money.

"Harvest, 90 copper coins per plant. The stall owner said with interest, Seven Star Leaf is not a high-grade medicinal herb, and it is not uncommon, although it is difficult for ordinary people to get it.

Copper coins are the currency of this world, 1000 copper coins are equal to 1 silver coin, and 100 silver coins are exchanged for 1 gold coin.

Even if a commoner is the highest first-class civilian, the income of the whole year is only a few thousand copper, so the income of 100 copper coins is still quite high, of course, the premise is ...... It has the capital to deal with the magical beasts that take care of the magic herbs, and to do this, either have a special opportunity like Ning Yu, or at least have to be an apprentice of magic or fighting spirit.

"Boss, 110 copper, I have 10 plants, sell them to you together. Ning Yu tried to squeeze out a smile, although he didn't like to laugh, but he always had to let go of something for the sake of life, such as temper.

"Do you have 10 plants?" Hearing that Ning Yu had so many plants, the stall owner's face changed slightly, and he looked at Ning Yu again, 10 Seven Star Leaves represented 10 giant snails, although the giant snails were the lowest order of demonic beasts, but to deal with 10 in one go, ordinary magic or Douqi apprentices could not do it.

"100 copper, I'll give you these at most, just forget if you don't sell them. The stall owner raised a finger, his eyes were still rolling around Ning Yu, as if he wanted to see how many stars Ning Yu's apprentice badge was, his expression was not respectful, but at least he was not as ignorant as Fang Cai.

"Okay, 100 is 100. ”

100 copper matched the price in Ning Yu's heart, so he took out all the Seven Star Leaves, and the stall owner took out 1000 copper happily.

"Young man, next time there will be seven star leaves sent to me, and if the amount is large, I will add another 10 copper to you. The stall owner said with a smile.

"No problem. Ning Yu replied.

The 1,000 copper coins Ning Yu almost counted them one by one, for fear of missing one or losing one.

Buying chickens and ducks, melons, fruits and vegetables, Ning Yu has not been so generous for a long time, carrying a bag of white noodles, carrying a large bag and a small bag and walking home in a hurry, wanting to quickly tell his only relative that his future life has been settled, the hard days are finally over, and gradually, a small village appears in front of him.

The hamlet has no name, and just like the Empire and the nobility treated it, the rest is dispensable except for taxes.

As soon as Ning Yu walked into the village, the old man smoking a cigarette bag and pot at the entrance of the village hurriedly ran up, his anxious expression overflowing, which couldn't help but make Ning Yu's heart chuckle and realize that something bad might have happened.

Sure enough, before the old man came closer, he was already shaking the cigarette bag and pot in his hand, and said anxiously: "Xiao Yu, why did you come back, Chang San Biaozi came into your house with a group of people, saying that you can't pay their money, and you want to sell your sister as a slave to pay the interest, you go home and take a look." ”

Chang San Biaozi is a well-known local bully, specializing in bullying men and women, and also has a loan shark business, before Ning Yu's mother was seriously ill, his father was forced to borrow a loan shark, and he wanted to follow the mercenary group to pay back a few more tasks, but he didn't expect the mercenary group to encounter a high-level demonic beast, the whole army was wiped out, and his father never came back.

Ning Yu's mother became even more ill when she learned the news and died soon after.

People die, but the debt has to be repaid, usury doesn't matter how miserable you are, Ning Yu had to work everywhere, but the situation not only did not ease, but became more and more serious, his low salary could not even pay the interest of usury, so the interest rolled, the original principal of 300 copper, and finally even the principal with interest became 10,000 copper, that is, 10 silver coins, and it is still growing.

For this reason, Chang San Biaozi had threatened to sell Ning Yu's sister several times, but he didn't expect to come again today.

There was no time for Ning Yu to think about it, Ning Yu ran home, and when he came to the door of his house, he saw the slave trader brought by Chang Sanbiaozi tying his sister Ning Xiaoyu's hands with a rope, and dragging him out like a cattle.

Ning Xiaoyu's face was pale and trembling, thinking of the scene of slaves crossing the street when she was a child, tears couldn't stop flowing.

Chang San Biaozi and the others not only did not have the slightest sympathy when they saw it, but also foul language on the side: "Tut-tut, look at this little appearance, I can't bear to sell it." ”

"If the third master likes it, I will send it to your room tonight, but this price is ......" The slave trader on the side laughed dryly, and stopped talking.

"I know the rules, you take people away, I don't move. Chang San Biaozi waved his hand irritably.

The rules of the slave line, the first time the slave is bought and sold is the most expensive, and then the price is halved, although Ning Xiaoyu is Peugeot, but he is too young and not yet mature, compared with the women who are carefully dressed up in the hook bar, and secondly, although Chang San Biaozi is lustful, he is more greedy for money, so that Chang San Biaozi will not move Ning Xiaoyu.

Chang San Biaozi is a wine bag and rice bag, but the slave trader has a unique vision, and he can see at a glance that Ning Xiaoyu is a rare beauty embryo, go back and dress up carefully, and then raise her in the room for a few days to wait for her skin to turn white, this price will definitely rise dozens of times, so after listening to Chang San Biaozi's words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but before this breath reached the end, there was a loud drink full of anger in his ears.

"Let go of her. Ning Yu rushed to the front in three steps and two steps, snatched the rope in his hand while the slave trader was shaking, and then went to untie the rope in Ning Xiaoyu's hand.

"Stop, who are you, dare to rob my goods, live impatiently. The slave owner shouted.

"Little rabbit cub, dare to spoil the good deeds of the master, look for death. Chang San Biaozi pulled out the short knife on his waist and raised his hand to split.

Ning Yu didn't dodge or dodge, he let the short knife slash on his back, slashing bloody, and the movements in his hands did not stop.

Chang San Biaozi didn't expect Ning Yu to be so resistant, and was obviously stunned for a moment, but soon raised his hand again to cut the second knife, at this time Ning Yu's slightly weak voice came: "Chang Sanye, why be in such a hurry, my sister is young and can't sell it for a few dollars, if you give it a few more days, I will definitely pay back all the principal with interest." ”

The slave trader has now come back to his senses, and seeing that the treasure in his hand is about to fly away, he didn't wait for Chang Sanbiaozi to speak, and said first: "No, the person has already sold it to me, how can I say that I will return, no, absolutely not." ”

"Let me ask you, do you have a slave agreement?" Ning Yu turned around, forced his eyes at the slave trader who looked like a tuberculosis ghost, and asked with a tough attitude.

The slave agreement is signed by the caretaker of the slave and the slave trader, similar to a contract, if there is no such thing, it is forced to buy and sell, if Ning Yu sues the slave association, the slave trader will have to walk around without food.

Ning Xiaoyu was forcibly taken away, and without the consent and signature of Ning Yu, the caretaker, it was naturally impossible for the slave trader to have such a thing.

Hearing this, the slave trader was speechless, and looked at Chang Sanbiaozi as if asking for help, this transaction was a thread drawn by Chang Sanbiaozi, and he naturally asked him for help if something happened.
