Chapter 246: Return to Huai

In the area bordering it on the northwest side of the Tang Dynasty, or on the northeast side, some people from the defeated countries were affected by the war, and later because of the Silk Road, the slave trade prevailed.

Among them, the most famous are these three kinds of slaves, Kunlun slaves, orchids, and Goryeo women.

Kunlunnu, a group of people with dark skin and curly hair, came mostly from India and Malaysia rather than Africa.

Orchid, i.e., a Persian woman from the Western Regions, or a woman from the northern Tang Dynasty.

Goryeo maids, on the other hand, were women from the northeastern kingdom of Goryeo who were labeled as "humble", and those people at the time thought that they were particularly suitable to be handmaidens.

The status of slaves is lower than that of ordinary people, and it is said that they are roughly equivalent to cattle, sheep and livestock, etc., which is relatively rare in northern and other places, such as Chang'an, the heart of the Tang Dynasty.

On the contrary, in the south and other places, in fact, there is also such "trade".

However, in order to ensure the purity of his own bloodline and highlight the superiority of his own nation, the king naturally forbade the existence of the phenomenon of "foreign slave trade" in his own country.

It is normal to use local slaves on one's own territory, and it is normal to prove one's strength by using foreign slaves, however, it is a big crime to sell people of the same clan to foreign countries, especially women!

On the bright side, there are always people behind the scenes who commit crimes against the wind.

If it is discovered, it will be a crime that is widely implicated.

Unfortunately, Wan Peng was recruited.

Liu Wei explained to Fangcao: "Wan Peng used his own channels to help an organization in Lingnan to do human trafficking. ”

Compared with the strength of the Jin family, Wan Jiaben has fallen behind, so that after the evidence of the crime is verified, he can't raise his head.

Wan Peng's fate.

After all, it won't be able to jump for a few days.

In addition, Wan Jia was implicated, and Gu Kaizhi was also affected.

Final Verdict.

Marseille: seventy rods, one year.

Seventy battles, in fact, are already very heavy, this is torture, not the kind of halfway prisoner who refuses to accept it, and a few beatings make him afraid, and he can reach the level of flowering crispy sausages. The prison sentence is to eat a year's imprisonment.

I remember that in "Tang Law", there seem to be three kinds of prison sentences, one year, one and a half years, two years, and the most serious punishment is exile.

Marseille's throat was literally screaming.

Jin Lang, who rescued him from the brazier, left Huai'an shortly after.

This year, she has never seen Jin Lang again.

In addition, the Yuzhi Pavilion was also seized.

Wan Peng had an accident that night, in order to find the little guy, the official and the Wan family conducted a city-wide search, among which, during the carpet search, dozens of corpses were found in the Yuzhi Pavilion.

The number is huge.

Far more than the Zheng family's ghost house in Luqiao Lane.

After Jin Lang took out the evidence of reversal on that day, Chen Zhicheng came back within two days, and she met him halfway.

"Coming back?"

Chen Zhicheng motioned for her to go to the side of the street: "People, I'll leave halfway." ”

"Do you know where to go?"

"It is estimated that it is Fuyang, during which he inquired with me."

"Did you collect the money?"

Chen Zhicheng nodded: "He said he would pay you back." ”

Don't talk about it anymore.

"Master Chen, hurry up and go to the school, Ah Kun's teaching level is simply making people laugh out of several teeth!"

On the way, she not only met Chen Zhicheng, but also someone who surprised her.

"It's finally back!"

"Shopkeeper Liu is fine, I didn't expect to meet you here."

The shopkeeper bowed to her.

She smiled and saluted as she looked at the young man beside her.

"This is what I call Shopkeeper Liu."

"Is that her? This ......"

In an instant, the young man's eyes widened and his mouth opened widely: "...... This...... No way? ”

"Can I still fool you?"

Shopkeeper Wen turned to her: "He is Xu An, my cousin from my hometown." ”

"Your cousin looks young."

"He has a baby face, and he looks small, and he is already in his twenties!"

Xu An lowered his face, touched the back of his head, and smiled shyly.

Shopkeeper Wen went to Xishu.

Brought back his cousin, who was an apprentice in the paper mill.

The matter of convincing his cousin did not go well, and the family who returned to his hometown two years earlier also strongly objected, and according to the shopkeeper, they escaped from Chongwen.

"Escape?"

The shopkeeper explained to her: "Anzi's family is poor, at the beginning, it is equivalent to selling to a paper mill, the paper mill is in the mountains, it is very hard, and the cold winter wax moon also has to work, stepping on the pool barefoot, and the feet are almost frozen......"

The paper mill is in the col.

It is convenient to take local materials, and other conditions are much more bitter than those in the city, saying that they are not afraid of hardship, and it is still uncomfortable to eat in the mouth.

The day of the cold winter wax moon.

That is, during the Chinese New Year, the other apprentices all went back for the New Year, and he was the only one who had to step on the mud in the pool, when he was only ten years old.

Generally, the apprentice who works in the paper mill will have an "apprenticeship period" of about five years, during which the boss will not give you a penny, and the boss will feel that the apprentice is qualified, and can "go out of the school", which is equivalent to being able to take up a job in the paper mill, at this time, the apprentice can return home, and at the same time, can get monthly money, or according to the salary of one year a year.

Other apprenticeships are no more than five years.

Xu An is three and five years.

"Fifteen years, how much was it sold for at that time?"

Shopkeeper Wen "snorted": "It's not that I blame him for his uncompetitive gambling father." ”

Fifteen years.

It was sold for a hundred bucks at that time.

I finally got through it.

The family wanted Xu An to continue to stay in the paper mill, and also arranged a family affair for him.

"Something went wrong?"

"It didn't work out at all."

The shopkeeper sighed for a while.

"My aunt somehow married such a wreck, harming people!"

"Father An Zi ate wine and agreed to someone else's marriage, do you know what happened to that woman?"

Shopkeeper Wen pointed to his head: "There's a problem here, I'm still a dumb person." ”

"They are just this one baby, and now they think of their twenties, and they haven't married yet, but their families are poor, and they can't get a lot of the bride price, so they responded to the matchmaker's words and collected some money."

The corners of her mouth twitched: "This...... Afterward? ”

"His father said that the girl had a problem with her brain, but ...... But if you can give birth to a baby, you can leave a baby for their family. ”

Speaking of which, the shopkeeper Wen was already looking like he was blowing his beard and staring: "It's just ...... It's ......"

He couldn't say a follow-up for a long time.

At this juncture, the shopkeeper went back, and he proposed to bring Xu An to Huai'an for development.

Naturally, there was a backlash.

The Xu family disagreed.

He himself is also resolutely opposed: "That person is not a fuel-efficient lamp, you must not mess with their family's affairs!" ”

"How did the back come out?"

"I told him that you wanted to set up a paper mill, and he asked me to go first and make an appointment to meet at Ding's house."

On the night of marriage.

Xu An actually ran away from marriage.
