Chapter 73: Common Sense
Human traffickers, this kind of mongrel that has not yet become extinct in modern times, are naturally living well in Huiyao.
In fact, it is not impossible to eradicate human traffickers, because Radiance has a technology that is even more powerful than in previous lives: Radiance Charter Recognition Technology.
This reconnaissance technology, which has long been applied to the military, can accurately determine the relative position of the target based on the chip identification code on the back of the neck of the Huiyao people. That is, the world has not yet developed computer information technology, otherwise a living map like "Harry Potter" that can show the specific location of each person will appear sooner or later.
However, the Charters Department is directly under the royal family, so it is naturally impossible for this kind of tracing technology developed thousands of years ago to fly into the homes of ordinary peopleβunless you, an ordinary person, rebelled.
However, in the past and present lives, it is difficult for Le Yu to personally feel the existence of human traffickers. In his previous life, he lived in a first-tier city, and even dared to stay in an Internet cafΓ© at night; In this life, he was the captain of the statistics department of Xingke County, and the thugs on Eighteenth Street trembled when they saw him.
Therefore, even if Leyu understood the young man's words, he was stunned for a long time.
He was caught by human traffickers?
He, a young man in his twenties, a night walker who entered the house with a hidden sword and combat methods, a master of biting combat techniques, an assassin from an unknown organization, and the first person in charge of Xingke County in the White Night, was actually caught by human traffickers?
Is it that I can't lift a knife, or are you traffickers too sassy?
Le Yu directly grabbed the chain in his hand and pulled it, but as soon as he moved, he found that there was something wrong with his body.
The young man sighed: "He fed us cartilage, and our limbs are weak and our spirits are sluggish, and you can't keep this chain." β
I have heard of cartilage powder, the main material of the boiling soup of the medical lawsuit is the same as cartilage powder, and it is a non-toxic sleep aid if it is configured, and if it is bad, it is cartilage powder that damages internal organs, and it is said that the underworld of the rivers and lakes especially loves to use this kind of cartilage powder to harm people, and Leyu is also heard as an urban rumor.
I didn't expect to be recruited not long after leaving Xingke County.
"That bowl of tea ......"
"Obviously a gang." The young man sighed: "I saw so many people in the car, thinking that nothing would happen, and I drank it, but I didn't expect it to ......."
This sentence woke up Le Yu, he looked at the four people in the carriage, and suddenly realized: "Those villagers are used to lower our vigilance!" β
If a traveler sees no one in the carriage, he will naturally be more vigilant, but a large number of villagers on the carriage can easily give people the impression that 'this car has been operating here for many years', and the traveler will naturally not be suspicious!
The young man gritted his teeth and said, "Those villagers should be hired locally, and the tea shed is also built temporarily, so that as soon as the carriage leaves, the village can pretend that they don't know anything." β
Thinking about it carefully, Le Yu found that this bureau is simply a ring, the carriage parked outside the village, the free tea soup, the villagers in the car, he was not wronged at all-
"It is common sense not to consume any food or drink provided by the car and ship shops or related parties."
Gan, Yinyinyin, you're dead, how can you still make a voice in my head!
However, Le Yu was still full of doubts in his heart, and he asked, "But why are the traffickers arresting us?" β
Of the four people in the car, except for the sobbing teenager, the other three were all young adults. As far as the common sense of Leyu is concerned, human traffickers either arrest women or children, in short, it is impossible to catch young adults - the first two can be easily restrained, but young adults can escape if they want to, and there is no added value except for labor, high risk and low return, why arrest them?
The young man was silent for a moment: "Probably to take us as slaves." β
"Slaves?" Le Yu was stunned for a moment: "Huiyao abolished the slavery system a hundred years ago." β
Note that the phrase is a slave rather than a slave, and slavery disappeared before the founding of the country, and the slavery system only gradually disappeared in modern times. Slavery is closely related to productivity, when people don't even have to eat, it is natural to sell themselves to wealthy merchants, even if it is banned, there are still many people who can live as slaves.
At the beginning of the industrial revolution more than 100 years ago, the outbreak of production technology, coupled with the inflow of high-yield production crops from overseas, the situation of 'not being able to survive' gradually decreased, and the situation of fugitive slavery occurred frequently, so Huiyao abolished the slavery system and further liberated the productive forces.
"Listen to your accent, you're a native of the Morrowind District." The young man said: "In addition to the maid slaves raised by the family in the Chenfeng District, it is indeed rare to see them in other places, and the slaves here are more used as a symbol of status...... But in Dongyang District, in the northern part of the Chenfeng District, it is different. β
"Dongyang District has a well-developed sea trade and many plantation factories. Rather than hiring workers, they prefer to buy out the slaves outright and let the slaves work for them all day long, like machines in a factory, never stop working...... Even the children there can't accept that Mengxue is forced to work in the factory, they must want to sell us there! β
Le Yu felt a little incredible: "The court doesn't care?" β
"What does the imperial court do?" The young man asked rhetorically: "The tax of Dongyang District is the highest in the eight districts, and the officials, families, and businessmen are connected, how can the imperial court manage it?" And this matter has only slowly emerged in the past ten years, and the imperial court can't even manage the skyline area, so what ability does it have to manage the Dongyang District? β
Hearing this, the young man next to him finally couldn't help but let out a sad cry: "I don't want to be a slave...... I'm going home, I'm going home! β
The young man shook his head: "If you go to Dongyang, then you really can't escape, not to mention that the county guard will help chase slaves, where prices are very high, ordinary people either go to the factory to work hard for a day to barely get enough food, but when you are a slave, you can still have a dormitory and a medical officer to take care of you...... If you want to escape, you must escape before entering Dongyang. β
The young man nodded his chin at the big man who stuffed the ball next to Leyu: "This guy seems to be practicing the Aiki Battle Method, but it's a pity that he couldn't yell the door down, otherwise we would have a chance......"
Aiki Warfare is an interesting method of warfare of the Eighteen Official Tactics, and its core meaning is 'sound', and the warrior can chant a specific syllable every time he attacks, which can not only enhance the power of the light explosion, but also cause mental shock and even damage to the enemy, and even the sound alone can produce a light explosion.
Le Yu glanced at the big man next to him, if he was really an Aiki warrior, he could indeed explode the carriage with a roar. But now that everyone has eaten cartilage, even if he used to be a lion's roar, his current power may only be regarded as a meow.
"Brother, you shouldn't be an ordinary person." The young man suddenly whispered, his eyes kept focused on Leyu's head, "You are our last hope." β
Le Yu subconsciously touched his head, only to find that the turban was gone, and everyone else could see his white hair.
In addition, the package is missing, which means that all the equipment of Yin Yinyin has been taken away.
He does have the ability to wreck the carriage.
Not to mention that the 'Sage Relic' bracer on his wrist can be turned into a Phantom Divine Weapon (replica) at any time, and his ice blood physique alone can weaken half of the effect of cartilage, and he is not as weak and powerless as others imagined.
But......
Facing the young man's expectant gaze, Le Yu's eyes flickered, and suddenly showed a confident smile: "Don't worry, you know how to cut the black building?" I'm from the Black-Clad Building, and I'll have dozens of black-clothed swordsmen who can slash me in a minute. β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Starker County.
"You're here to claim the body? But you...... It doesn't seem to be his relative. β
"Yes, his relatives have left Xingke County, I am his junior, I can properly place his body."
The clerk of the Criminal Investigation Division looked at the young man in front of him who was almost covering his eyes, and then looked at his military academy student ID, and finally nodded: "Sign this form." β
He signed his name on the form: Xia Linguo.
Entering the lobby where the bodies were temporarily placed, Xia Linguo met an old couple leaving with sad faces, they were pushing a small cart with a pair of bodies on it.
Xia Linguo knew this dead man.
He actually died...... Obviously running so fast......
Xia Linguo was a little surprised, but did not stop.
Passing through countless relatives crying and grieving, Xia Linguo came to a body wrapped in a body bag - everyone else was covered with a straw mat, and this body could be wrapped in a body bag, which was enough to prove its weight.
He opened the body bag, and the shocking scars of the corpse suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. He looked calm, turning over the corpse to examine the scars, regardless of the dirt.
Just like observing a work of art, Xia Linguo looked at it for more than ten minutes before he stopped, closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in front of the corpse in contemplation.
"The fatal wound was a sword wound in the back."
"It is impossible for him to leave his back to the enemy."
"He was betrayed by an acquaintance."
"In that place, his acquaintance is only Chen Fu, but Chen Fu doesn't know how to use a sword."
"He has other accomplices."
"He didn't betray the White Night."
Xia Linguo opened his eyes and seemed to see the scene of last night:
"So, it was the survivors of the White Night who shot at him."
