In the alleyway, no one noticed the existence of Zhou Shixiang and his party, the women knelt on the ground scattered with bricks everywhere without saying a word, and several men crossed their shoulders and pointed there, talking in a low voice.

Zhou Shixiang reluctantly suppressed his anger and was determined to find out about this matter and find out these bastards who were doing mischief in the city, so he signaled his guards to quietly surround both sides of the alley, so as not to let the traffickers in the inner escape when they heard the movement.

Although the Taiping Army made a fortune as bandits, it was also a means of bandits at the beginning of the incident, but there is a red line that Zhou Shixiang has never touched, that is, to be a trafficker in this troubled world, and to be a trafficker who traffics women! In the past life or in this life, what can happen to a woman who is sold as an animal, Zhou Shixiang doesn't want to know it, it's nothing more than matching the old man as his wife, or for that leak. Wanting to play things, the miserable are reduced to brothels and become tools for physical and mental loss.

Zhou Shi on the contrary to the Qing Dynasty, but it was a foreign Hu Lu, carrying the bloody banner of the Han people, and doing the feat of not being a Tartar slave, although limited by the conditions, the Taiping Army also did a lot of things to destroy the family, but never did this bad thing for women, and the people who have always been coerced, Zhou Shixiang strictly forbade his subordinates to do the bad behavior of killing their husbands and wives, killing their fathers and daughters, and they were all included in the army, the strong entered the front camp, and the old and weak women and children entered the back camp. Therefore, although there are a lot of innocent people's blood in his hands, Zhou Shixiang has never felt guilty, and wants to recast the blood of the Han people in this troubled era of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and try to save the Han civilization from sinking, and some sacrifices are inevitable, but the scene that happened in front of him has never been expected by him, and it is also outside his tolerance, which only makes him angry and angry.

Investigate, must investigate, no matter who is involved. No forgiveness!

Zhou Shixiang gritted his teeth and said secretly

In the alley, several men did not notice the movement outside, and only gestured there. It seems that the buyer thinks that the price is expensive, and the seller tries to sell it. Big talk about the benefits of the woman who wants to be sold.

The women who were sold only knelt there quietly, never looking up at her, even if the buyer came to see her, and only a little struggle, some shy passive reaction.

It didn't take long for the buyer to think that the woman he wanted to buy was good, so he nodded in agreement, took out a piece of cloth wrapped in his bosom and handed it to the seller.

The seller was a man in his forties. He has a dark complexion and a slight hunched back. After receiving the buyer's things, the seller touched it with his hand, with a satisfied smile on his face, and without saying a word, he walked up to a woman who was about ten * years old, and said: "Song Erjia, this military master has taken a fancy to you, you can go with him." ”

Former battalion?

Zhou Shixiang's heart sank violently, he was afraid that there were people from the Taiping Army involved in this deed, but he was afraid of something. I didn't think that anyone from the former camp was really involved in this.

"Hmm."

The girl from the Song Er family trembled slightly when she heard this, but she did not struggle to resist as Zhou Shixiang expected, or screamed and refused. Instead, he calmly got up from the ground and glanced at the man who was not wearing a military uniform.

Seeing this, the man didn't know what to say, so he rubbed his hands and said, "Don't be afraid, just follow me, I'll take care of your fullness." ”

"Hmm."

The girl of the Song Er family answered faintly, and never spoke again. When the man saw this, he was more and more pleased, and he wished that he would take the girl back and make a fuss about it.

The business is done, and the seller has nothing to do. He smiled and said to the man, "Okay, so be it." You take this girl away, and if you look back, the girl misses her family. It's also convenient for the military master. ”

Hearing this, the woman subconsciously looked up at the man. The man grinned and waved his hand, "Of course, since the girl is with me, I will take care of her family." I don't want to make you laugh, although my Tie Niu is just a small flag officer, I can mix in the camp, and I don't have anything else, but there is no shortage of food, and I can't short them. ”

After hearing this, the seller hugged his fists, and the little flag called Tie Niu stepped forward and pulled the girl from the Song Er family and left. After Song Erjia followed a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the seller: "Third master, don't miss my father's mother." ”

The third master's cheeks twitched up and down, and he took the thing wrapped in cloth in his hand and shook it: "Don't worry, my three cows are divided into a small half, and the rest will be sent to your house." ”

Thinking that she knew Niu San's personality, the girl from the Song Er family didn't say much, and silently followed the iron bull and disappeared into the night.

The two guards quietly stepped forward to ask Zhou Shixiang if he wanted to take down the iron bull, but for some reason, Zhou Shixiang did not give any orders, just stared at the seller called Niu San. By the dim light of the only torch lit in the alleyway, he could clearly see that what Niu San was holding in his hand wrapped in cloth was not gold and silver goods, but two large cakes.

Two flatbreads, a woman.

Zhou Shixiang was silent, what made him silent was not such a cheap transaction, but the willingness of the woman to be bought. What does it mean to be a woman who was sold voluntarily without any scenes of violence?

After the figures of the man who bought the man and the woman who was sold disappeared, the companion behind Niu San sighed and said, "The Song Er family has a way to live." ”

Niu San shook his head: "In this world, how long can you live if you have a way to live?" ”

"If you have a full meal, you can live one more day. Song Er's family is also a good girl, but it's a pity that her heart is high and her life is thin, and in the end, it ended up like this. Niu San's companion was obviously very sorry for the girl of the Song Er family, and he was very embarrassed in his words.

Niu San has seen this kind of thing a lot, and his heart is naturally much harder, so he only said lightly: "In this world, what is the use of having a high heart, what can be used as food, can be exchanged for food?" You said that Song Er was willing to sell the girl like this, this is because he didn't sell it, does this situation have a way for us to live now? The food distributed is getting less and less day by day, and I don't know when the food will run out in this city, if it really runs out, we individuals, hehe"

"The third master, don't scare me." The companion was frightened by the mysterious expression on Niu San's face.

"Scare?" The corners of Niu San's mouth curled, but he didn't say much, only said: "Forget it, don't mention it, don't mention it." Don't stay here a few of you, go to the barracks and bring some more people, there are so many miserable people, let's sell one more if we can, so that they don't starve to death. ”

"Hey!"

After hearing this, several people hurriedly responded, and each went to contact the buyer, and after a while, only Niu San and the women who were still kneeling were left in the alleyway.

I don't know how long the time passed, Zhou Shixiang's body finally moved, he didn't go in but turned around and left, as if what happened just now had never happened

Thank you for the tip, thank you! (To be continued)
