The carriage went out of the south gate and walked to the side of the mound where Zhu Lin had seen a large area. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Zhu Lin looked up, and the endless grass hermitage on the mound was in ruins. It emits a rotten stench. Zhu Lin can be smelled from afar here.

Under the mound, the porridge factory and the human market are set up there. The flag of the porridge factory hung weakly, and more than a dozen cauldrons were boiling porridge there. Steaming. There are officials next to him who are maintaining order. A few Tsing Yi boys were there handing out cooked porridge.

The numb eyes of the victims were full of despair. Lined up and led porridge that was not much thicker than rice soup. After receiving it, he drank it next to him, and then went to collect it.

"Get out of here, don't get it anymore. One bowl per person, no duplicate collar is allowed, otherwise the head will be killed". One of the victims wanted to get it again after drinking it. was held by the official with a goose feather knife and pushed out at once. The victim, emaciated and boneless, was pushed to the ground, coughing twice and convulsing a few times. and died. Before he died, he probably didn't even eat a full meal. Two men pulled the cart and lifted the dead man onto the cart and pulled him away.

And the servant, there is no expression. It was as if I saw not a dead man, but a dead kitten and a puppy. The victims next to them were also watching numbly. No one spoke. All that came was the "next" and the shouts of the officials.

When Zhu Lin saw the official pushing people down, he wanted to shout out, but Zhu Chengli covered his mouth tightly and said softly in Zhu Lin's ear: "Young master, you can't be impulsive." It's normal, you haven't seen a changer eat yet. If you see more, you get used to it. No one can save them, at least not for now, but I can't, bear with me!

Zhu Lin pushed Zhu Chengli's hand away. Bean-sized tears rolled down. What the is this world, human life is not as good as a dog. For a bowl of rice soup, he even lost his life. In the previous life, even if a dog died, there would be people who would cry and wipe their tears. But here. Nothing, just numbness. Zhu Lin wiped a handful of tears and asked, "Uncle Zhu, why are all men receiving porridge, and there are no women?" ”

"Hey, little master, let's go, you'll know when you get to the human market over there." As he spoke, he waved his horsewhip and drove the carriage to the market opposite the porridge factory. The city is surrounded by a fence. Some soldiers stood around, and there were a few soldiers standing at the door, pointing and poking at the city, giggling and laughing.

The soldiers here are not the same as the soldiers at the gates. Looking at Zhu Lin's puzzled eyes, Zhu Chengli told Zhu Lin that this was the soldier of the guard. The gatekeeper is the City Patrol Division. Zhu Lin thought for a long time before he figured out that the guards were the ones who guarded the city and suppressed the riots. It belongs to the official establishment of the imperial court. The City Patrol Division is mainly responsible for guarding the city gates and patrolling the streets. Hunt down bandits and stuff. It belongs to the local establishment.

"What are you going to do, buy people? If you buy people. If you want to enter the market, please pay a deposit of five taels." The pawn at the door yelled at Zhu Lin and his party.

"Give them a receipt," Zhu said. What happened just now really stimulated Zhu Lin a lot. Zheng Jiu looked at Zhu Lin, threw a piece of silver over and said, "Make a receipt."

"What's the receipt, no, if you want to enter, you can enter, if you don't get in, get out." The pawn yelled.

As soon as Zheng Jiu wanted to get angry, he heard Zhu Lin say, "Zheng Jiu, don't quarrel with them." Uncle Zhu, let's go in." Zhu Lin took a deep look at the pawn just now, and his eyes were selective. Zhu Lin thought to himself, sooner or later, one day, I will let you spit out the silver you ate. Even Bengali.

Walked into the human market. At the gate of the city, there is a table, and the old man who wore a Fushou shirt on the edge of the city last time is also there. Sitting at the table, next to a small official.

Zhu Chengli put the carriage aside and said, "Young Master, if we don't buy it today, let's go back." ”

"The money is spent, how can it be done if you don't buy it". Zhu Lin said as he led the two of them inside. Most of the people in the city are women, and occasionally there are two men. I saw that the women were unkempt and ragged. There is a kind of grass stuck in his head. Some sat and some knelt on the ground. Seeing someone coming, he raised his godless eyes and looked at Zhu Lin and the others. What kind of look is that? Despair and hope are mixed together, and people can't help but hurt their eyes. There were a few women with children in their arms next to the market, muttering about it.

Zhu Chengli saw Zhu Lin's eyes and looked over there, took a step forward to block Zhu Lin's sight, Zhu Lin pushed Zhu Chengli aside and said, "Uncle Zhu, I know, I have seen it." Those are the people who are talking about eating and eating, let's go and take a look."

Zhu Lin walked up to the group of women. Just wanted to speak, but saw a man rushing out next to him, walked up to Zhu Lin and said: "This young master, what kind of person do you want to buy, is it a yellow flower girl, or a 'little tender sheep', or a girl in a warm house, or buy and sell."

"What is a 'little tender sheep'", as soon as Zhu Lin spoke, Zhu Chengli pulled Zhu Lin aside and said, "We want to buy two maids." Be young and strong".

The man smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'll give you a shout, of course, just give the villain a few coins of silver." ”

"Yes, you can shout". Zhu Chengli said.

"This master wants two maids, and the young and strong are preferred. If you can wait for people quickly, you will buy two, and there will be no such store in this village." The man shouted. It's loud.

As soon as he finished shouting, a group of people gathered around him, and there were a few men in the middle. "You can look at the slave family, not too much, two buckets of rice are fine. ”

"This master, the slave family can do laundry, cook and be a female celebrity, and his body is also strong. Pick me. ”

"All quietly, let this master choose by himself, look at you, just this body and bones are still here, people want to be young and strong, get out, if you don't meet the conditions, get out, don't get out, I'll drive people out." The man yelled.

Zhu Lin just asked Zhu Chengli how much two buckets of rice are folded. Zhu Chengli told Zhu Lin that two buckets of rice would be less than two taels of silver.

Zhu Lin took a look, not to mention that there are hundreds of people. Two taels of silver for one is estimated to cost two hundred taels. Zhu Lin calculated. Fortunately, the money is enough.

"Slow, don't rush, the people who come around, except for the men. Young master, I want them all, and those who hold children, even the children I want all together, tooth man, forget it." Zhu Lin said slowly.

"Young master, please think twice". Zheng Jiu and Zhu Chengli said in unison.

"Don't persuade me, I want it all." Zhu Lin shouted hysterically.

"This young master, you have to negotiate the price for them. After the negotiation is done, you can give Xiao Ke five coins of silver, and the following things will be done by the small one." The man said.

Zhu Lin pulled Uncle Zhu Chengli over and whispered a few words.

Zhu Chengli said with a reluctant face: "The young master said, each person has one or two or five dollars of silver." If you want to, sign up. If you don't want to. Please step aside". After speaking. Hula, and two-thirds of the way through. The children were all gone.

Zhu Lin's heart hurts. Those who hold children would rather give up their children than sell themselves. Zhu Chengli saw that Zhu Lin was unhappy, so he said: "Or we will buy the 'little tender sheep' and find a wet nurse to feed it."

"What is the 'little young sheep'".

"A little tender sheep is a baby". Zhu Chengli replied.

Although Zhu Lin had already guessed the answer, when Zhu Chengli said it. Zhu Lin still felt sad and shocked in his heart. The baby is actually called the 'little young sheep'. In ancient times, there were foreign soldiers who used the captured Han people as military rations, which were 'two-legged sheep'. What is the 'little tender sheep', it is eaten. Poor children, not long after birth, will be eaten as food. Come to think of it. Zhu Lin's eyes were full of tears and nodded.

Zhu Chengli went over there to talk to the group of women. And Zhu Lin couldn't stand it anymore. He ran to the carriage and cried. Zheng Jiu was at a loss for what to do in front of Zhu Lin.

The negotiation was very fast, and Zhu Chengli took the women to the table at the door to sign the contract. Several women were also waiting there with their children in their arms. In total, there are 37 people who are willing to sell themselves at a low price, plus 5 babies. It will take a while to sign up there.

"Yo, this big brother, you want to buy so many women, why are you going. Open a kiln or ?". The little officer on the table asked, holding the contract there.

"Go and serve our little master, the official will sign it first." Zhu Chengli said.

"Well, you can sign it, you have to pay the contract silver, and it's usually two taels per person. It's okay to give one or two to one person today, and let's do good deeds once! Master, you always say yes?" The master next to him nodded.

"Come, line up, come one by one, press the mud first, press the contract, there are good people who bought you all today, and you have to serve them well when you get home." The tooth man next to him shouted there.

I saw the little officials ask one there, write a name, and then the women press their handprints. Just stepped aside. Zhu Lin sat in the carriage and watched. Zheng Jiu led the women who had signed the contract to the side of the carriage.

"Drive".

"See Lord Garrison". The pawn at the door yelled on his knees. I saw a man on horseback running from outside, wearing leather armor and a helmet, and holding the horse in front of the case in a majestic manner, and a group of guards came running from behind.

The leather-clad man took his horsewhip and pointed at a few of the women. The pawns in the back rushed into the crowd of women like wolves, and they were about to start pulling people outside. There was a flurry in the crowd. The women hid there in terror.

"Slow, I've already bought these people. Zhu Lin said loudly there.

The garrison and all the pawns all looked at Zhu Lin. At first glance, the garrison laughed: "Yellow-haired child, these are all mine, how can I let you buy them." I bought the women in the market and sold them. If you haven't been weaned yet, you can consider selling you two. Now they're all mine, and I want whatever I want, go, and pull them out for Lord Ben to take away."

"You are not allowed to pull them, you are not allowed to pull them, they have already signed a contract, and they all belong to us." Zhu Lin rushed forward. Pointing to the garrison, he said.

A "snap" whip was thrown into Zhu Lin's face.

"Damn, yellow-haired child, dare to block Lao Tzu's good deeds. ”

"Ah," Zhu Lin screamed and covered his face.

Zheng Jiu wanted to grab the horsewhip but didn't catch it, and saw that Zhu Lin was beaten. Zheng Jiu was furious, his eyes widened, and he roared:

"You dare to die". Saying that, Zheng Jiu jumped up, kicked one hundred and eighty degrees side-spinning, kicked the garrison off the horse, sat on the horse steadily, and reached out to hug Zhu Lin on the horse.

"There is a rebellion, and today you will all die without a place to bury. Come all over. Hurry up." The garrison got up from the ground, pulled out his waist knife and pointed at Zheng Jiu and said. The pawn next to him stopped arresting people, and "rubbed" pulled out his waist knife and surrounded Zhu Lin and Zheng Jiu.
