Lu Hanyang was across the Yellow River, which flowed eastward, and controlled the rich middle-aged man at this time, making him tell the sinister intentions in his heart.

"What? Are you going to take us to Luoyang and sell it? The two teenagers didn't expect this to be the result. They followed all the way from the Hedong region, and it was not a short journey.

The two teenagers thought they had met a kind person before, but in the blink of an eye, how did they become each other's harboring evil intentions, and they had a bad idea from the beginning.

This was a common thing, at least for the fat businessman. After the cement production method was passed down from the immortals, all the nobles and families of the court and the great families participated in it.

Of course, this kind of magical item has a very large profit in it, because the country needs this cement to build roads and walls. After that, it can be converted to civilian use, and everyone knows that this is a big cake.

But in order to squeeze the profit margins, these people of course do everything they can, such as working overtime, such as squeezing the wages of the people who work, and so on.

As long as these means are capital, they are self-taught. Because everybody thinks that these places contain oil and water, and they need more profits, they have to squeeze the spending of these places.

Therefore, it became the norm to buy slaves to do the most intense labor. First of all, the price of buying a slave was not high, at least at this time of the early Tang Dynasty.

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, a soldier was killed in battle, and the compensation given by the imperial court was 600 yuan. What can this money do? Enough to buy a donkey. A human life is only worth a donkey, and that is why human life is as cheap as mustard.

Slaves are unimaginably cheap, at least much lower than the price of a soldier.

In contrast, you can't overdo it by hiring a strong laborer to do the work, otherwise the other party will probably not come to you to work. Then a strong laborer will receive the wages of a slave in a few months.

And a slave can work for several years, even if it is a life-sacrificing oppression, he can last more than a year. In this way, you will be able to earn for several months, and the money of another slave will come out.

And the slaves don't have to worry about whether the government will investigate them for their lives, it's a big deal to lose money, and the Tang Dynasty will only be fined two hundred for killing a lowly slave.

In short, the law is not sound, and these people who need slaves have privileges in their hands, so that they can escape the punishment of the law, and the traffickers who were almost extinct are thriving again.

And most of these traffickers are wandering around committing crimes, deceiving some ignorant people and then kidnapping and selling. Sold to those who burn cement, dig coal, etc. So that they can have more profits, and they can also make a lot of money from selling two-legged sheep.

"Do you really think that I am so kind to take you to Luoyang to find relatives, and I only need you to help me pull a truckload of goods as a thank you? Don't be stupid, is there really such a good thing in the world? I just saw that this stupid boy had the strength to sell him for a good price! The obese middle-aged man said.

"People like us, running around pretending to be merchants, is the best disguise, and the people who took us are not going to denounce us, they can't escape! So we can go on and on. ”

"Why lie to you? Because in this case, you are following us voluntarily, and even if you are interrogated, you will not show your feet! Otherwise, you will be tied up and you will be asked to ride in an ox cart, and you will even be stopped by passing checkpoints. ”

The doubts in Lu Hanyang's heart were explained clearly by this middle-aged man one by one, this guy was talking endlessly, but there was a look of despair flashing in his eyes.

He didn't say these words voluntarily, his body, his mouth was out of his control. At this point, he couldn't even tell someone to catch those two stupid boys.

But all the dirty things in his own heart were poked out and completely placed in front of the two teenagers.

"This, what should we do? Run away! A young man said, "Xue Li, hurry up and follow me!" ”

"You think you've run away knowing our secret?" This sentence was not said by a middle-aged rich man, but by a thin guy who walked over from the side.

"I said Zhang Mazi, are you having a bad head? Anything is said! Catch them! The wizened fellow said and pressed towards the two teenagers.

And when the thin man moved, the others also moved and surrounded them. Suddenly, the two teenagers were surrounded in the middle.

The young man who said he was going to run away changed his face at this time: "Big brothers, uncle, please, let us go!" ”

"Please, they are useful?" The young man named Xue Li said.

"Why didn't it work? At least try it and find out! Another teenager said, "Otherwise, big brothers, I'll join you!" I've got a lot of brains to keep an eye on you! We will sell him, if we are right, he has great strength! ”

"You ......" Xue Li didn't expect his partner to betray him at this time.

"Xue Li, you didn't want to run with me just now, but now I can't help it, I can only save myself! I don't want to be a slave, and my family's property is still waiting for me to inherit. The young man's face was hideous.

"Forget it, I know you today. Since this is the case, then all the previous friendships have been cut in two. Xue Li said.

"Xue Li, don't blame my brother, it's all fate! After your Xue family fell into the middle of the road, only my brother's family has been walking around with your family, and it's okay to pull it at times, but I am the only root and seedling of our Wang family, and I can't do anything. The young man said, as if he was explaining, justifying, and wanted Xue Li to bow down and arrest him.

"Haha...... I didn't expect that I, Xue Li, have been blind for so many years, and I didn't see that you are such a guy, since this is the case, then from now on, you take your Yangguan Road, and I cross my single-plank bridge, and we have nothing to do with each other. But now you want to tie me up? Are you sure they can do it? Xue Li laughed.

"Xue Li, I know you have a lot of strength, but there are more than thirty people here, even if you can fight again, how many can you fight?" The young man surnamed Wang said.

"Sure enough, it opened my eyes, and I have never seen such a brazen person!" At that moment, a voice was heard in the sky.

"This ...... Who's in the sky? The young man surnamed Wang suddenly looked extremely panicked, and he could hear that the other party was scolding him.
