Chapter 194: Slaves in Xiyang City

Why bury bones, where is there no green mountain!

When he was young, Fushengye admired those knights who rode horses and swords to the ends of the world, but unfortunately his life was sealed in a dormant pod for seven hundred years before it began.

When I woke up this time, all the memories of the past were gone.

He felt like a lonely time-traveler, bound by a mission imposed on him as soon as he arrived in this strange world.

His illness had not yet healed, and sometimes he wondered what he would do if he couldn't contact Zixing and his Qi and Blood Pills ran out.

If there really is that day, he hopes that he will be scattered all over the sea, and when his life is exhausted, he will die if he lies down everywhere, and after death, he will be buried shallowly by passers-by rolling up a straw curtain, or if there are no bones left to be dragged away and eaten by wild dogs, he doesn't care at all.

Fushengye recalled that his year on this Twin Peaks was like a dream, and when he first went up the mountain, he had a grudge with the seventeenth prince, and it was only recently that he understood this grudge in the Xuantian Array.

But behind the seventeenth prince is the entire Chijin Khanate, and he must be careful not to leak the news, otherwise the Chijin Khan will know that he killed the seventeenth prince, then it will be difficult for him to tolerate even though the world is big.

Thinking of this, the floating leaves laughed at themselves, and they became more and more regarded as grandmothers.

"What am I afraid of? I'm not from here, it's really a big deal to break the sky! ”

"What does the star look like?" Ahri, the little white fox, asked.

Floating leaves forgot for a moment that there was still a little elf like Ahri crawling on his stomach. He touched Ahri's little head and said, "I have a chance to take you to see it!" ”

The Guardian Knights of the Gods walk in the snow as safely as they do in their own backyard. The cavalry led by Fang Rui were very relaxed, the leather whip was gently struck on the horse, and the horse's hooves gently stepped on the soft ground, running unhurriedly.

The carriage pressed the ruts and headed north to God.

The god was on the northern edge of the snowy region, above an oasis behind the Gobi Desert.

It is inhabited by a large number of Beidi people.

The Beidi people were more accustomed to calling the god the sun god, and they even felt that the moon god could not be compared to the god at all.

In fact, there are many people at the bottom who really don't know that the moon god in the south of the snowy region is even more magnificent than the sun god.

Although the gods have been famous for a long time, their buildings are not very grand.

It was built on a low hillside and formed a small city around the gods. The city has no walls, the streets are wide open, the exits are all over the place, and all of them are unguarded.

The inhabitants of this place call this place Xiyang City. The inhabitants of Xiyang City have an innate sense of pride, and although they treat outsiders very well, they can't hide the arrogance in their bones.

Fushengye took a carriage all the way to the outside of Xiyang City.

He stood on a mound and looked around, only to see that Xiyang City was surrounded by wilderness, with dead branches and grass piling up under his feet, and it was a depressed scene.

Fusheng Ye did not sigh: "This place is slightly different from the god I imagined!" ”

The wind was solemn, blowing the long grass undulating, and a camel team with black square flags came out of Xiyang City.

The camel bells jingled non-stop, the smoke and dust on the side of the camel caravan rose slightly, and behind the camel caravan there was a row of men, women and children, more than 30 people.

These men, women and children seem to come from the same family, because they are similar to each other, and they also support each other. One of their arms was held together by ropes.

These slaves who were being transported had to shout to the overseer first, "me!" if anyone was in a hurry to make it easier. ”

It is said that it is for this reason that the descendants of these slaves have always used the word "untie" to mean to go to the toilet.

Fang Rui saw Fushengye staring at the people behind the camel team looking curiously, and stepped forward and said, "Those people are all slaves of the Beidi Chamber of Commerce. ”

Fushengye said: "I have also seen slaves, but it is the first time I have seen such a family of all ages turned into slaves and transported and sold like livestock. ”

Fang Rui said: "The Donghu people and the Central Plains Empire have gone to war, and these are all refugees captured by the Donghu cavalry from the border. Because they were not subjects of the Chijin Khanate, they were treated the same as livestock. ”

Fushengye said: "Is the flag embroidered with a white longbow on the black cloth the symbol of the Beidi Chamber of Commerce?" ”

Fang Rui said: "Yes! ”

Fushengye left the carriage, jumped on a fast horse, waved the whip, "Drive-drive-drive-" and came to the camel team of the Beidi Chamber of Commerce in less than a moment.

He tightened the reins of his horse, leaped on his horse, and said, "Who is your steward?" Come out and answer! ”

The steward of this camel caravan was a tall old man with a vicissitudes of life. He can rise from the bottom step by step to the position of a steward, and he still has eyesight.

When he saw that the floating leaves were in a black robe with a golden mask on their faces, he guessed the share of the floating leaves.

The steward respectfully saluted the floating leaves: "I am He Laijiu, the representative of the Beidi Chamber of Commerce in Xiyang City, but Your Excellency is the first floating lord of the West Mountain from the Snowy Moon God?" ”

Fushengye said: "It's this seat!" ”

He Lai Jiu said: "I don't know why the adults stopped our camel caravan? ”

Fusheng Ye said: "This seat asks you, where do these slaves come from and where do they plan to transport them?" ”

He Lai Jiu said: "They are all slaves captured by the Donghu people, and they are handed over to our Beidi Chamber of Commerce to be taken to the various ministries of the Chijin Khanate for auction processing. The old people and children made up one-third of this batch, and it was not easy to sell, so the branch president decided to take them to the priestess department to try it, and I heard that there was a shortage of labor there recently. ”

Fushengye said: "The Goddess Department is still in the west of Drifting Snow City, not far from the Guqiang Department, it may not be long before it will be covered by war, you let these people go there, don't you let them go to death?" ”

He Laijiu said: "Sir may be right, but these slaves were bought by us at a high price, and if they were transported here with great difficulty, if they could not be sold, they would be smashed in their hands." ”

The Floating Leaf's actions aroused the curiosity of Han Xiye and Fang Rui, and the two of them also rode their horses to the side of the Floating Leaf.

Han Xiye saw that Fushengye was staring at a group of slaves in tattered and dirty clothes, and she also looked at this group of slaves curiously. Sure enough, among these slaves, she found several female slaves in the prime of her life.

Han Xiye thought to herself that the eldest brother had reached adulthood, and he had been in the moon god for a long time, so this time he went down the mountain to take the opportunity to hunt a few wild meats.

Although she doesn't like the behavior of men, she was born in an aristocratic family, and she has heard and witnessed such things since she was a child.

Looking among the slaves, Fushengye didn't stop his gaze on the girls who were quite attractive.

Han Xiye saw Fushengye walk up to a woman and looked at the woman for a long time. She thought to herself, maybe her eldest brother didn't start liking only mother-level women because he had been away from home for too long! It's too hardcore! Thinking of this, she got goosebumps.

Fushengye looked at the middle-aged woman with kind eyes and thought of her mother. In front of the middle-aged woman was a half-grown child as skinny as a sick seedling.

The boy was so weak that he could no longer breathe when he walked, and his head hung as if he could not lift it. Fushengye saw that the middle-aged woman was dragging the sick child's head with her other hand and pushing him forward. Maybe she knew that once her child fell, she would never have a chance to stand up again!

Fushengye could feel that the mother had done her best to save her child.

When I saw that mother, I remembered my mother. When he was lying sick, his mother's gaze was very similar to that of the mother in front of him.

"Let her go!" The floating leaves are on the nine paths of Ho Lai.

"Are you ordering me?" He Laijiu was a little unimpressed.

"People who talk nonsense in front of me usually don't live long. If because of the banner of the Beidi Chamber of Commerce hanging in front of the caravan, you are dead by now. I don't usually kill my partners easily, but if they pretend to be nothing when I'm angry, that's an exception. The words of the floating leaf were full of murderous intent.

Seeing this, Fang Rui scolded He Laijiu: "Although the Beidi Chamber of Commerce is big, you are nothing in it. If you offend the first lord of the Moon God West Mountain, it is disrespectful to the Moon God, and you will die without a place to be buried. ”

He Laijiu trembled with fright and said, "How dare you! How dare you! It's just that these slaves are the property of the Chamber of Commerce, and I can't dispose of them privately. ”

Fang Rui pointed to the middle-aged woman in front of Fushengye and said, "How much is that slave?" ”

He Lai Jiu said: "One hundred baht." ”

In the territory of Beidi, one hundred baht is equivalent to one tael of silver. When Fu Shengye heard that these slaves were only one hundred baht, his heart was very unhappy, knowing that the horse he sat on was worth forty taels of silver.

The first time Fushengye went out with a lot of gold leaves, he took out a gold leaf from his bosom and still on the ground, and said to He Laijiu: "I want all these slaves, and now let them go." ”

Although He Laijiu was unwilling, he did not dare to confront the floating leaves in front of him, and after picking up the gold leaves, he immediately ordered the men of the caravan to untie the more than thirty slaves one by one.

He Laijiu didn't dare to stay long after letting those slaves go, and immediately urged the camel team to leave Xiyang City.

Fusheng Ye said to Han Xiye and Fang Rui: "Let's go into the city!" ”

Fang Rui looked at Fusheng Ye suspiciously: "Just leave, what should these slaves do?" You are now their master, and you are responsible for them. ”

Hearing this, Fushengye asked puzzledly, "What responsibility do I have to bear?" Wouldn't it be enough to let them all go? ”

Fang Rui said: "This is not legal! ”

Fushengye said: "Are the rules of the sun god different from those of the snowy region?" ”

Fang Rui said: "The first adult has been going out to preach for many years, and he has always gone south, so it is normal that he is not very clear about the rules of the sun god, listen to me and tell you slowly." ”

The northern borders of the Red Gold Khanate were under the absolute control of the sun gods.

In this land, the slavery system has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the nobles can cherish flowers, flowers, fish, insects, birds and beasts, but they turn a blind eye to the slaves in the depths of the fire.

This attitude of ignoring the rights and interests of slaves is also somewhat present in Han Xiye, but it is not very obvious.

Floating leaves are people who have witnessed technological civilization and democratic society.

His democratic ideas seem to be a kind of compassionate spirit in Han Xiye.

After listening to Fang Rui's introduction to the slave laws of Xiyang City, he realized that this world was too lacking a great thinker to teach the world.
