According to the regulations of Xiyang City, slaves belonged to the property of slave owners.

The slave's authority over life and death was completely controlled by the slave owner, so the slave was mainly responsible for the slave's actions, and the slave owner was held accountable for a felony committed by the slave.

Fushengye entered Xiyang City with more than thirty freshly bought slaves. When these slaves saw the majesty of their new master, they all buried their heads in front of him and did not dare to look up at him, or even peek at his back with their eyes.

They followed the Floating Leaf for a few miles, and most of them only knew that the new master was wearing a black robe, and they didn't even know that he was wearing a golden mask.

There was also no inn in Xiyang that would provide bedrooms for slaves.

Because slaves were not only not human beings in the eyes of the aristocracy, but also discriminated against them by the common people. No one wanted to live in a room where slaves had slept because they thought it would bring bad luck.

Fushengye and Hanxiye live in God's VIP room, which is elegant and very comfortable.

Fang Rui took more than thirty slaves to the fence of Fang City and locked them up. There is adjacent to the sheepfold, and the environment is no different from the sheepfold, a group of people eat, drink, and sleep in the fence, and the behavior and deeds between men and women are not shy about anything.

After Fu Sheng Ye settled down, he deliberately went to look at the slaves he had just bought, and those slaves knelt on the ground when they saw their masters coming, and they were too frightened to look up. The owners of these slaves have been killed, and like sheep without a leader, they will only shrink to protect themselves in the face of unfamiliar conditions.

The young girls washed their faces and knelt in front of them. Fushengye knew in his heart that it was because the gang hoped that he would take these young girls for pleasure, and they hoped that they would be treated well by the slave owners.

Because there are many old and weak women and children in this group, they do not constitute any decent labor force, and they are more miserable and pitiful than ordinary slaves.

Fushengye's heart felt very sad, he could help them for a while, but it was difficult to help them for a lifetime.

Fushengye said to the slaves, "Get up! ”

When the slave heard his words, he did not dare to raise his head, let alone get up.

Fushengye shook his head helplessly, and after leaving, he found a restaurant and wanted to order food for the slave, but the shopkeeper refused on the spot when he heard that he wanted him to cook for the slave.

The shopkeepers, as they usually only served slave owners, nobles and commoners, saw it as an insult to them to have them cook for their slaves.

Fushengye had no choice but to find a shack dedicated to cooking for slaves. The shack also provides a variety of concentrate feed for horses, cattle and sheep, as well as cow and sheep manure.

After seeing the environment of the stove here, Fushengye's heart can only be described as sad and indignant.

"How much does it cost to cook me dinner for forty slaves?"

The owner of the shack was pinching the cow dung cake with his hands, and when he saw the business coming to the door, he put down the cow dung cake, wiped it on the apron with his hand, and came to the floating leaves and said: "The slave food is divided into four grades, the best is the essence of feeding the livestock, and the food is as good as that of a war horse, all bean cakes and vegetable leaves, and it is no problem to keep it and eat enough to go to the quarry to work as a coolie for a day." ”

Fushengye suspected that he had misheard, the top-grade slave meal was the same as that of a war horse, so what was the almost food?

"What's worse than a horse?"

The owner of the shack said: "The high-grade slave is bran and vegetable leaves, the medium is only sake lees, and the inferior is only vegetable leaf soup." Our bran and distiller's grains are fresh, unlike other families that adulterate them, and those old bran brans are eaten to death by slaves. You can feed them with our customized slaves, and if you eat a slave, we will accompany you with a sheep. ”

Fushengye couldn't lose his temper anymore: "Your sheep is there, show me!" ”

The owner of the shack called his mother-in-law to bring a fat sheep from the backyard and said to Fushengye: "These sheep are all raised by their own herding, and they are fat and strong. ”

Fushengye said: "Slaughter three sheep like this for me, stew them all, and give them to my slaves to eat." How much do you want? ”

The owner of the shack showed a surprised look and said, "One hundred and fifty baht for three sheep is enough, and it is only one hundred and eighty baht for stewing and some handiwork." But to feed your slaves, you have to add another twenty baht to me for secrecy. ”

Floating Sheng Ye was puzzled when he heard this: "This also needs to add a confidentiality fee?" ”

The owner of the shack said, "Yes! You're from outside, and you don't know our rules here. Our Xiyang City stipulates that sheep cannot be used to feed slaves, and if you violate the order, you will have to pay a fine. So I have to take some risks in doing your business. But don't worry, this kind of thing happens repeatedly, and I will add some vegetable leaves to the floating head of the yokan so that others will not find out. ”

Fushengye threw down a piece of gold leaf and handed it to the shack owner and said: "I will live in Xiyang City for a while, I will rely on you for the food and drink of my slaves in the past few days, and I will take good care of them, and the benefits will naturally be indispensable to you." ”

The owner of the shack took the golden leaf, and excitedly agreed to the request of the floating leaf.

Fushengye said: "If any of my slaves is sick, find a doctor?" ”

The owner of the shack said with a puzzled face: "It is not easy to find a doctor to treat slaves. ”

Fushengye sneered: "When I entered the city, I saw several veterinarians waiting for work on the street corner, would they rather treat horses than save people?" ”

The owner of the shack was dumbfounded by the floating leaves.

Fushengye said: "If my slave is missing a hair, it is for you to ask." ”

After the floating leaves left, the shack owner's nervous sweat soaked through his clothes. Although the killing machine on the floating leaves is invisible, the pressure on the shack owner is very real.

The owner of the shack did not dare to neglect the matter explained by the floating leaves, and immediately selected three fat sheep from the sheepfold to slaughter them and stew them in the pot.

Floating Leaf returned to the god's abode and saw Han Xiye and Fang Rui returning together.

Fang Rui took Han Xiye on a tour of the gods. Although the scale of God is not very large, the building is long, and there are traces of time everywhere, and even every grass and tree, brick and tile can lead to a story.

With Fang Rui, a careful person, as his guide, Han Xiye had a deeper understanding of the history of God after returning from his tour.

Fushengye didn't show that much attention to this, he only cared about when he would be able to see the Great Priest, so that he could end this trip as soon as possible, because what he saw and heard in Xiyang City really made him feel depressed.

Fang Rui said: "The Great Priest has decided to meet them in Zhengyang at noon tomorrow, which is the highest standard of God's reception for the guests. ”

Fushengye didn't care about this, he said to Fang Rui: "It is rumored that when a great monk visited God a long time ago, the great priest ordered him to personally go out of the city thirty miles to greet him, I don't know if it is really true?" ”

Fang Rui said calmly: "It's true! Isn't that great monk the founding patriarch of your Moon God West Mountain, the first one of the West Mountain, and he is poor in the twilight. However, if it is put aside until now, even if the twilight is poor again, it will be impossible for the great priest to go out of the city for thirty miles to greet him. ”

Fushengye said: "Why is this? Could it be that the status of the moon god is not as good as before? ”

Fang Rui shook his head and said, "Definitely! Definitely! But the great priest is no longer what it used to be. That year, the great priest who had gone out of the city to meet the twilight was only in his twenties, and now the great priest who greeted the two in God is fifty-nine years old, and another year will be the new Jiazi reincarnation, extraordinary times, of course, there will be some differences, please understand! ”

Fusheng Ye said: "In the records, the great priest has never left God, and he has always lived in a simple place, and it is difficult for believers to see him, is it true?" ”

Fang Rui said: "It is true that the Great Si Ming will not leave the gods easily, because he wants to sit here and protect the safety of the entire Mangyuan Khanate. Although the Great Priest is not like the Young Commander of the Moon God who does not refuse to accept all the pilgrims and personally blesses them one by one, it is not too difficult to ask to see the Great Commander, as long as you have patience, you can always see the dignity of the Great Commander when the Great Commander travels to Xiyang City. ”

Fusheng Ye said: "How often does the Great Secretary visit Xiyang City?" ”

Fang Rui said: "There is no certain period for this, maybe once every few months, maybe once every few years, the great priest has his own reasons for what to do, and it is a blessing for us to be able to listen to the teachings by his side." ”

Fushengye didn't want to discourage other people's beliefs, and after sending Fang Rui away, he was thinking about how to settle his newly purchased slaves.

In the evening, the waiter brought an invitation to the floating leaves.

It was the president of the Beidi Chamber of Commerce in Xiyang City who invited him to be a guest.

Fushengye walked out of the god, and the Beidi Chamber of Commerce had already prepared a carriage and waited at the door.

Fushengye took a carriage to the clubhouse of the Beidi Chamber of Commerce, and the director here was named He Laisheng.

The Beidi Chamber of Commerce is controlled by the Horai family, so the high-level directors are all members of the Horai family. He Laisheng is the younger brother of He Laiming.

Because of the relationship between He Laiyi's name, He Laiyisheng has great respect for Fushengye, and prepared a sumptuous dinner for Fushengye in the club of the Beidi Chamber of Commerce.

It is not easy to gather all kinds of delicacies and delicacies in the barren Beidi.

Beidi's wine is also very strong, and taking a sip is like burning a knife in the throat.

He Lai Yisheng said straight to the point to Fushengye: "He Lai is a brother in the name, and the Beidi Chamber of Commerce can carry out business smoothly in Wulipu thanks to the support of the first adult." When my brother learned that the first adult was coming to Xiyang City, he specially informed him that he must be entertained. In Xiyang City, no matter what you do, just give it to you. ”

After he finished speaking, he took out a gold leaf and respectfully handed it to the floating leaf with both hands.

Fushengye said: "Do I seem to care about a person with a gold leaf?" ”

He Lai said: "The first lord is a person from outside the square, how can he care about these mundane things. It's just that I heard that when you entered the city, you exchanged a piece of gold leaf for thirty-six old and weak slaves in our Chamber of Commerce, although we are very puzzled by this matter, but how could our Beidi Chamber of Commerce ask you for a fee because of a few slaves. I've sent someone to catch up with the caravan and punish that bastard Lao Jiu severely. And take back this gold leaf from his hand. A gold leaf naturally doesn't matter, but it is a gold leaf that passes through your hands, and it should naturally be returned to its original owner. ”

The floating leaf took the golden leaf and looked at it carefully. The gold leaves in the world are all the same, and he is not a miser, he will stare at every piece of his gold leaf all day long.

He is the kind of person who treats money like dung, and never takes too much into it when he spends it.

"This is the gold leaf I bought my slaves on? It's only been half a day since he left me, and I almost don't recognize him. ”

"It's true, it's the golden leaf that slipped out of your hand." He said in a flattering tone.

"You said you punished that Lao Jiu, how did you punish him?" Fushengye has always been haunted by He Laijiu's abuse of slaves, and he is also curious when he hears that He Laijiu was punished.

He Lai said in a loud voice: "That Lao Jiu was originally not surnamed He Lai, but just a person who was slightly stronger than a slave. The head of the family gave him the surname because he had worked hard for the Chamber of Commerce for many years. But the people are the people, this thing that doesn't have long eyes dares to rush into the first adult, I have ordered someone to gouge out one of his eyes, just outside, do you want to take a look? ”

Fushengye's heart was cold when he heard this, it turned out that the gang of people who dealt with him all day long were all masters who ate people and didn't spit out bones.
