Military horses are very strictly controlled, and non-public people are not allowed to ride out of the barracks, let alone sell them. The proprietor originally thought that Pi Yang was a big man in the army, but at this time, he heard him say that he was snatched from the Xiang army, so he didn't say anything more, and walked out of the courtyard while fastening the button: "Come with me." ”

He took Pi Yang and the three of them around a few alleys to a courtyard, the yard is very large, the wall is not high, Pi Yang can get a glimpse of the whole picture by stepping on his feet, there are three simple stone houses in the earthen wall, the tiles on the roof are some gray, it should be a broken tile removed from the old house.

Seven or eight guards in the courtyard were gambling around a table, and the sounds of haha, annoyance, and scolding came one after another, and everyone quickly stood up and said hello when they saw the arrival of the owner. The owner hooked his fingers, and a man hurriedly ran forward, looked at the other three, and said to the owner:

"The boss is bringing guests to see the goods?"

The proprietor nodded, turned his head to Pi Yang and said, "I have Tubo, Tatar, Silla, and even Khitans here. ”

Piyang is not strange to the Tubo and Tatars, I never thought that even the Silla and Khitans have them, you must know that the Khitans are fighting with the Great Song Dynasty, and there are more victories and fewer defeats, so the Liao people look down on the Song people in their hearts, how can they come to the Great Song Dynasty as slaves? Besides, the Silla people, the beginning of the Great Song Dynasty, Goryeo had not yet surrendered, and almost no one came to the mainland, why did they fall here?

Yang Jingxuan was also taken aback when she heard that there were Khitans, and hurriedly asked, "Where do these Khitans come from?" Can they also be domesticated into slavery? ”

"It just can't be domesticated before it falls into my hands." The owner grinned: "They were all caught when they fled on the road, and later found that the Khitans were not easy to domesticate, so the master's family sold them at a low price, and they changed hands several times before they came to me." ”

Pi Yang understood as soon as he heard it, before the emperor drove his own expedition to recover the lost territory, and won a big victory along the way, until Youzhou was defeated. There are many Khitans in those captured cities, probably because they are afraid of the Song people's retaliation, so they plan to flee back to their hometowns, but they didn't expect to be beaten by the Han people on the road, and this is still the credit of the imperial court.

Speaking of the imperial court, Pi Yang looked sideways at the black beauty beside him and found that she was also looking at herself, obviously the two of them wanted to go together.

Seeing the two looking at each other, the proprietor thought that they were still worried that these slaves were coming from the wrong way, so he explained with a smile: "Don't worry, although these slaves have fallen into my hands, they are all slaves, and you only need to register with the government with the original order to buy them back." ”

After the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, slavery was abolished and the sale of private slaves was prohibited, so the original order he said was not a slave contract in the traditional sense, but a deed of sale signed by the servant and the previous master.

Pi Yang smacked his lips, waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if there is an original order, I only care about whether they can speak Chinese." ”

"Some will, some will do a little, and a small part will not speak, and I don't know if it will."

"And dumb?" Pi Yang wondered. The proprietor laughed: "That's not it, it's just that there are a few Khitans with hard bones, no matter how you whip them, their skins are all torn, and they still don't say a word." ”

Pi Yang clenched his fists when he heard this, and an evil smile appeared on his face: "It's challenging, it's up to them, it doesn't matter if you don't speak Chinese, as long as it's forbidden to fight, I want to see how hard their bones are?!" ”

The proprietor was frightened by the expression on his face, and said in his heart, buy slaves and go back to see if the bones are hard, this is going to be a joke, there are still people in Padang who are worse than me? He suddenly didn't want to talk to Pi Yang anymore, so he gave the man a few words, and then walked to the gambling table and joined the game.

Dahan led Pi Yang and the three of them to the house on the west side, opened the door, and a smell of feces and urine came to their faces, and the three of them hurriedly covered their mouths and noses and flashed out of the distance. The man was accustomed to it, standing at the door and smiling at Pi Yang: "The guests only need to go in and stay for a while to get used to it." ”

Pi Yang waved his hand in disgust: "Take it out, build it out!" ”

The owner who was gambling raised his head and said unhurriedly: "It's better for the guest to go in and pick it yourself, those Khitans are tied hand and foot, so it's not good for us to bring them out to show you one by one." There was no discussion in his words at all, and after speaking, he lowered his head and shouted: "Open, open, open...... Are you fucking doing something on your son? ”

Pi Yang sighed and told the two girls to wait outside, and he went in alone to watch. Yang Jingxuan's master and servant had never seen such a pickled place, Yang Yao nodded hurriedly, and pulled the young lady to run farther away.

He followed the big man into the door and took a look, there were about 20 people locked up in a place of about 100 square meters, both men and women, with ropes in their hands and iron chains on their feet, and the chains were tied to the pillars at one end. Some were still covered in whip marks and their faces were covered in blood. When the men saw the man, they all raised their eyes and glared, their eyes were full of unyielding, and their expressions looked like they wanted to eat him alive. The women's robes were torn, revealing snow-white skin, apparently inhumane.

There were more than a dozen benches in the room, and on each stool were several large bowls, and there were some crumbs of steamed buns in the bowls. There are a few commode buckets in the corner, probably because no one has cleaned up the feces and urine for several days, and there is a strong smell coming from the buckets.

This smell is not only spicy to the eyes, but also smokes people to the point of vomiting, Pi Yang really couldn't hold it back, so he pointed a few casually, and then quickly ran out of the house, retching wow. In his heart, he scolded the ancestors of these black market dealers for eighteen generations, or he said that the Han people were bad, and they always treated people as animals.

Yang Jingxuan walked up to him and asked softly, "Are you okay?" Pi Yang waved his hand: "It's okay, wow-"

While retching, the owner had ordered someone to take out the slaves he pointed out, four women and one man, all with slender faces, narrow foreheads, hooked noses, typical Khitan appearance.

Fannu was surrounded by everyone, and the four Khitan women looked flustered, their eyes wandering, and they didn't know what was waiting for them. The man had an angry face, and his eyes shot fire, and he just wanted to devour these Song dogs.

Yang Yao also walked over at some point, stared at the five Khitans for a while, leaned into the young lady's ear and whispered, "Miss, didn't you say that the Khitans look like big cannibals?" I don't think they're much different from us Han Chinese, but they have bigger noses. ”

Yang Jingxuan pursed her lips and smiled, and replied in a low voice: "The Khitan people are not a single race, and the appearance of these people is relatively low, so they are naturally somewhat similar to the Han people. There are also some people in the Liao Kingdom who are primitive inhabitants, with white skin, curly hair, and a more inclined appearance to the big cannibals. Yang Yao nodded uncontrollably after Miss's words, and after listening to Miss's words, she was about to continue to ask questions, when the owner spoke:

"But these five people?"

Pi Yang slapped his forehead with one hand, and waved casually with the other: "Whatever, whatever!" Take them to take a shower, change into clothes, and send a boat to take us across the river. ”
