Chapter 208: If you can't sell it, kill it
In the stele city, there happens to be a vassal clan.
The outer court forces belonging to Zhumen, seeing that there were no good inns in Beicheng, Zhu Minglang asked this vassal clan to arrange a courtyard.
The whole stele city is very angry.
In the past, Beicheng was a small bazaar, but later it gradually developed into a large city because it specialized in selling slaves transported from all over the Jiting Continent.
There are slave trading cities like this in every one or two countries in the Extreme Court Continent, and the price of slaves is not low, and some powerful ones are generally bought by big families as house slaves and opponents.
"Ling Tu, come here, I happen to ask you about something. Zhu Minglang said.
"What does the master command? Ling Tu hurriedly walked over and immediately knelt on the ground.
It seems that these days, the people of the Ling family have been reprimanded by the slave owners, and they have basically forgotten that they were once the eldest son of the Ling family.
"Get up and speak well, I ask you, have you seen a group of slaves being dragged out of the city and killed lately, usually by gouging out their eyes. Zhu Minglang said.
Ling Tu hesitated for a while, glanced at Nan Yushao, and waited for Nan Yushao to nod before he dared to stand up slowly.
"Master, three days ago a group of slaves escaped in the direction of the east, and then I heard that they were caught and killed on the spot, and as for whether they gouged out their eyes, the slaves did not know ......" Ling Tu replied truthfully.
"Whose slaves are they?" asked Zhu Minglang.
"It seems to be from the wolf's tooth camp, but those slaves, even if they don't escape, are dead. Ling Tu said.
"Why?" Zhu Minglang wondered.
"The master will go to the back monument and take a look. Ling Tu said in a low voice.
......
The backlash painted by Li Xing has not been eliminated.
Zhu Minglang naturally had to pursue the traces of the Eyeless Sect.
Now it seems that a group of slaves must have escaped and were caught near the hill, so they were directly slaughtered by the people of the Eyeless Sect as a kind of sacrifice.
As for Ling Tu, these slaves couldn't survive in the first place, which made Zhu Minglang a little confused.
Although it was night, Zhu Minglang still walked out of the mansion and walked in the direction that Ling Tu said.
Nan Yusa really followed, she asked about the previous situation, Zhu Minglang glanced at this little sister-in-law, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It's obviously the hill that I went to with her, and I have to say it to her again in the end, so I can't wait for this matter to be dealt with before I change people!
When he arrived at the back monument, Zhu Minglang found that this place was guarded by many people, obviously belonging to a private territory and a place where idlers were not allowed to enter, Zhu Minglang and Nan Yusa only had to sneak in.
The torches lit up and the slave owners who had been trading slaves during the day could be seen coming in and out, bringing a group of unhealthy-looking slaves inside, and then coming out on their own.
"It's like a slave who hasn't been sold during the day. Nan Yushao said in a low voice.
Zhu Minglang nodded, so he planned to go deeper and see what happened to those slaves who were not sold during the day.
However, soon, an extremely strong smell of blood rushed in, almost at the moment when Zhu Minglang climbed over a high rock wall......
And Nan Yushao, when she jumped over the wall and saw the scene behind the monument behind the wall, her whole little face was miserable and white, and she was covering her mouth and nose, and she almost retched!
Zhu Minglang also looked stunned, his face full of shock and fear.
Behind the stone wall, there was a huge monument, and under the monument was a huge furnace like a square, and all the slaves who had not been sold during the day were thrown into the furnace......
The shackles on their bodies were not untied, the furnace was full of blood, and the slaves had their eyes gouged out and then pushed alive into the furnace and drowned!
I don't know how many years this furnace has existed, and the stone monument standing in the center of the furnace has even been soaked in blood red, and the surrounding rock furnace walls that have been repainted with blood after drying are even more chilling!
The dead air, resentment, and evil qi are almost coiled into a cloud of demons, shrouding the sky above this monument city!
Nan Yusao didn't dare to open her eyes to see it.
Zhu Minglang stared at this 10,000-person furnace pool, which was ten times larger than the altar of the hill and terrifying as hell, and his whole soul seemed to be scattered!
Is this what Li Xinghua really sees!
Is this really a human being?
The blood is almost full.
Zhu Minglang looked at the big pool of blood red, and quickly noticed that something was swimming in it!
Some slaves who did not drown immediately, they tried to break free, but before they could touch the wall of the furnace, they were dragged by something, and then the whole person sank into a pool of blood, and a wave of blood rolled!
It's a leech!
The blood leeches in this furnace pond are many times thicker, larger, and more ferocious than the wild ones on duty.
They can even bite people directly!
Zhu Minglang was even more shocked.
I thought that the blood leech appeared at the altar by accident and used the miserable and gasified dragon, but what Zhu Minglang didn't expect was that someone was raising this kind of thing and using the slave pool in this stele city as a hotbed for evil dragons!
"There's a leech dragon in there!" Zhu Minglang said in a low voice to Nan Lingsha.
"I can't hold it anymore. Nan Yusa knew that she would see this scene, and she wouldn't follow her, she even wanted to pass out directly now and let Nan Lingsha take over.
Zhu Minglang saw that Nan Yusha was indeed about to vomit, and saw a group of people in black robes patrolling, and immediately helped Nan Lingsha to jump out of the rock wall.
......
For some reason, the evil breath, the blood gas, and the stench were blocked by the high rock wall, and there was not a trace of it floating into the stele city.
The stele city is the same as usual, except for the fact that many places are a little messy and bloodstained, but not many people realize that there is such a terrifying scene behind the stele.
Zhu Minglang returned to the mansion and found the steward of this vassal clan.
"Zhu Gongzi, if you have any orders, the outer court has already explained to us, and everything is subject to Gongzi's arrangement. The little head of the Shou Bin family asked.
"The slave market, the slaves that can't be sold, how does the Monument City deal with it?" asked Zhu Minglang.
"This ...... Did Childe see something?" Shou Bin hesitated.
"You know the rules of the door. ”
"Childe, although our Shou family does business in Beicheng, we are by no means involved in the slave trade!" Shou Bin was startled and hurriedly said.
Then answer my question. ”
"For a long time, those slave camps in the stele city have killed the slaves who can't be sold, in order not to stain the stele city, so there are special black-robed people at night, take away those unwanted slaves from the slave owner, and slaughter them behind the stele, as for how to deal with the corpse, we don't know. Shou Bin said.
"Why did you kill it??" Wen Mengru asked, puzzled.
"Miss, slaves also have to eat and drink, they will also get sick, and they also need a place to settle down, since they can't sell it, they don't want to waste a drop of water and a mouthful of food on these people, not to mention carrying and transporting them, they will incur expenses, so it is better to kill them directly. Shou Bin said.
Ling Tu stood aside, his face more sluggish and wooden.
Although he ended up as a house slave, a house slave was far luckier than a slave.
In fact, along the way, Ling Tu saw too many inhumane scenes.
In the crowd of slaves, as long as someone accidentally broke his leg and could not walk, the people in the slave camp directly cut off his head with a knife and then discarded it on the side of the road at will......
