Volume 3 Clouds and Rain in Wushan Chapter 3 The Slave Trade

- Got to the place?

Yan Yuan wiped his face and quickly entered the state of acting, the original look on his face quickly disappeared, replaced by deep despair and fear, only the depths of those eyes, still maintained a little of his usual look - only this extremely hidden look, those stupid and arrogant slave traders could not see.

He glanced at Ruan Yin beside him, and found that this changeable little goblin entered the play much faster than him, and even began to sobb quietly at this time, looking like a helpless and pitiful down-and-out lady, even Yan Yuan, who knew her well, was almost deceived by her, let alone others.

Not long after the two of them quickly entered the state of the actor and queen, Yan Yuan heard a noisy voice, and then the rags covering the prisoner car were lifted all at once, and the dazzling light illuminated the whole world at once, Yan Yuan was stimulated by the sudden strong light, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked around the surrounding environment.

There were a lot of people around, most of them unloading the caravans, and the extremely valuable slaves on the prisoner carts were led down one by one, and then led into a small and inconspicuous building by a young man led by the slave traders.

And at this time, the middle-aged man who had been abusing Yan Yuan and Ruan Yin before approached the prisoner car, he glanced at the food that had been overturned on the ground, and said with a cruel smile to Yan Yuan and Ruan Yin: "What? Pretty tough? Don't you want to eat this garbage? What the fuck do you think of yourself as a big lady?! ”

However, although he was fierce and scolding, he did not continue to abuse Yan Yuan and them, only to see that he was holding two iron collars with chains in his hands, and Yan Yuan guessed that these two things were intended to be worn around their necks—those slaves who were "unloading" wore such collars around their necks. The middle-aged man scolded and swore as he stretched out his hand to put these two collars on Yan Yuan's neck!

Yan Yuan's eyelids jumped, he turned his gaze slightly, looked at Ruan Yin, and asked with his eyes: We have arrived at the base camp of these people, is it necessary to continue to play with them? Do it?

But Ruan Yin ignored him, she was staring in a certain direction outside the prisoner car, her expression was thoughtful, and she even forgot about the disguised sobbing for a while, fortunately the middle-aged man didn't pay much attention to them, and didn't notice Ruan Yin's not very obvious abnormality. But Yan Yuan noticed it, he followed Ruan Yin's line of sight, and saw that several people dressed as merchants were pointing at the new slaves, looking like merchants who had come to buy slaves.

- She's ...... See someone you know? Is it a few merchants or some slave?

Yan Yuan frowned, and then a force came from his neck, he was pulled and stumbled in a trance, and he came back to his senses, the middle-aged man was already pulling two iron chains, ready to lead them out of the prisoner car. As soon as Yan Yuan wanted to make a move, he saw Ruan Yin follow him out of the prisoner car and winked at him.

Yan Yuan sighed, he naturally understood the meaning in her eyes - she didn't plan to do it here, although she didn't know what she had discovered, and why she wanted to delay it, but since she had her own ideas, then Yan Yuan would also sacrifice her life to accompany the gentleman and accompany you Ruan Yin to the end.

- It's good that you're happy, my Miss Ruan.

……

Whether it was the Great Liang or any previous dynasty, the slave trade was a great headache for the government. Because this problem is almost impossible to govern successfully, and there is no reason to govern. After all, there are a large number of industries and families that need to buy slaves, not to mention anything else, just Yan Yuan and Ruan Yin's favorite young ladies of Qinglou (Yan Yuan and Ruan Yin: I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense), which one hasn't signed a deed of sale with Qinglou? At the same time, on the other hand, the sale of one's life into slavery is still a very important thing for the people of this era. When the world is difficult, the taxes are too heavy, and the people can't survive, selling themselves into slavery is also an effective solution! It is quite ironic that there were ministers who wanted to abolish slavery by reforming the system, but it caused public outrage.

However, signing a deed of sale with independent consciousness and being forced to be abducted and forcibly turned into a slave are two different things, and the "Daliang Law" clearly stipulates that human trafficking is not allowed, and large-scale human trafficking is subject to death! The gang of slave traders in front of them are all heinous criminals! It's a risky deal, but it's also extremely profitable, high enough for them to risk the world's condemnation!

Now the world is still peaceful, and Daliang is still thriving, not only there is no worry about war, but also no pain from excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

But at this point, it's enough to have no bottom line!

Yan Yuan and Ruan Yin honestly obeyed the orders of those people and entered the inconspicuous small building in line with the other slaves.

From the outside, this building looks like a very simple little storehouse, but once you enter it, you will find that there is something special about it! It was just an entrance, and as soon as you entered, you could see a deep staircase leading to the ground, and the slaves were led down by the young man who had noticed Yan Yuan before, and after passing through the long staircase, they came to a prison.

The young man gave Yan Yuan a few words to Yan Yuan and their new slaves with a straight face, and then put them in a large prison in one fell swoop, and then turned and left.

Yan Yuan and Ruan Yin obediently followed the large army into the cage together, the expected training and abuse were not carried out, he estimated it, and felt that those things would have to be carried out in a few days - after all, there were so many new slaves with different backgrounds, qualifications, and identities, and the leaders of the slave trade had to classify them first, so that they could be trained in different ways, and then they could sell the goods more smoothly.

So he turned his attention away from the young man and began to take a closer look at the dungeon's surroundings and his fellow slaves.

The environment of this dungeon is extremely poor, far less than the environment of the underground dungeon in the capital, but there are no all kinds of torture tools that are extremely frightening in the dungeon in the dungeon, after all, the people who are imprisoned there are political prisoners or rebel criminals, torture and coercion are commonplace, and the people imprisoned here are all slaves, and torture is not the main function - as for why Yan Yuan knows what the dungeon in the capital looks like...... Don't ask, just sneak in and learn more than you can see!

Then he took a closer look at the slaves who were in the same prison as the two of them, and the slaves who arrived in this place with the two of them were all imprisoned here, there were men and women, old and young, the youngest child looked no more than five years old, the oldest did not look more than forty, and several chivalrous women and knights dressed as men still had strong hand and foot shackles, and several of them had not light injuries. From this point of view, these slave traders are still more cautious - at least they still have the most basic warning about such cultivated people.

As for why Yan Yuan and Ruan Yin were not restrained at all...... Hawkers, when these two guys were targeted by the slave team before, they didn't even resist, and they obediently ran away with excitement in their eyes, which was simply a mudslide in the kidnapped world. Thanks to this, in the eyes of those slave traders, Yan Yuan and Ruan Yin were the kind of weak chickens who had no combat power at all, and they didn't need to take any precautions at all.

However, even if there is restraint, it is useless, Ruan Yin can completely use brute force to tear this shackle, and Yan Yuan ...... With the Sakura Fall Knife coming in, the shackles shattered.

- Well, if you want to run, you will definitely be able to escape from the prison.

Yan Yuan nodded secretly, and made an extremely confident evaluation, then he turned his head to look at Ruan Yin, and just wanted to open his mouth to ask what the hell that guy was trying to do, and then he saw her walk up to a little girl who was less than ten years old and squatted down, and then asked with a smile, "Little friend...... What do you have to do with Canghai? ”

"Huh? Do you know my mom? ”
