Chapter 3 The Slave Trade
Master Mu frowned, pointed at the group of girls, and said, "Ulin, every time you fool the general with these, why don't you think about what the general needs!"
U Lin pursed his lips and said, "I don't have the ability of a master, I only know that the general needs maids to serve him, and it is also necessary to serve a few girls." "Master Mu looks down on him, how can he look down on Master Mu.
The words are not speculative, the two of them say hello, and they each take their own people. Ulin, like Master Mu, worked under General Zhenguo. But he had no other skills, so he relied on forcibly buying the daughters of poor families and handing over the recruitment task.
All the servants, or slaves, were taken to a huge square. This square, on the edge of the city of Soto, was used for military training in normal times, and today is a slave market. There were small squares on the ground, and everyone stood on a grid.
Thousands of slaves were sold, most of them untouchable. There are also criminals, prisoners of war, or those who have been sold by their families. After neatly lined up, dozens of them were circled in red on their backs, meaning they had been sold.
Feng Luo also has a red circle on his back, and he is thin and not strong, so he is very eye-catching in the crowd. Put a red circle before the sale, which means that this is the person chosen by the general, not for sale!
Those who are not sold are also put into the field so that they can recognize their identity again: slaves.
Different kinds of slaves, lined up in different categories. The pulse qi cultivation is high, the strong and powerful is strong, the face is beautiful, and the woman is also stationed.
The square is surrounded by a circle of steps, on which stand people picking goods. There are ministers in the dynasty, rich people with a lot of money, and famous sects in the mainland. Even the temple that claimed to be merciful came to choose people, supposedly to save the souls of slaves.
Prominent people of birth will not come forward on their own. There is already relevant information, and it is handed over to the subordinates to select people on the spot. People with low status will show their heads. Depending on the goal, they go to the corresponding position. Stand on the steps and look down at the people.
As the first dozens of people were circled, onlookers let out a sigh. Those with a discerning eye have long seen that those people are elites. After training, he is a rare warrior.
There were several thousand slaves in the square, and there was a ring of soldiers guarding it. Buyers only dare to be on the steps, unless the pulse qi cultivation is high enough not to be afraid of being beaten. After all, to become a slave, no one volunteers. Therefore, they can only rely on visual inspection to select people.
Most of the people were still visually inspecting, and the soldiers who drew circles had already arrived at the scene to circle some of them and put labels. The label says the price, as well as the owner's name. This is someone who has a special channel, start early.
There was a sigh again, and those who didn't do it hurried to make a move. This business not only depends on the vision, the speed and slowness, but also the luck. If two buyers have their eye on the same slave, either one of them will quit voluntarily, or they will compete to see who has the highest price.
Those that look eye-catching, don't want to take advantage. I really want to make a high price and push down other people's prices. Of course, it is not excluded that the bid is too high and you will suffer a dumb loss.
If you buy it first, of course, you can also bid to grab it. But the buyers who are qualified to be the first to take the lead are all huge forces. For a slave, offend them, and you can't buy and sell. You can buy the people set by General Zhenguo, but do you dare?
Conflicts were inevitable, but with the mediation of officials, they quickly dissipated. Such a deal, on the surface, is done by the dynasty, but in fact, it is the general of Zhenguo, and no one dares not to give face.
Some of the potential were bought by officials, and some were also transferred by sects or big families. Those who were strong and able to work were transferred away by merchants and landlords. Among the women, there are certainly many people who want to be good-looking.
Since each buyer is limited in what they can buy, there is only about half left in the end. These people will be placed in the corresponding places, army, conscription, hook fence, etc.
From the moment they stood in the square, their fate was no longer in their hands. As a result, some people climbed to the top of the branches, even if they still couldn't get rid of the status of "cheap slaves", and their living conditions were greatly improved. Even if it is a dog, some of them can eat meat at once, which is more comfortable than ordinary people.
The sale was over, and the slaves were taken away in batches. Before it is delivered to the buyer, they go through the "baptism"!
Feng Luo is taken to a dark house with a torch stuck in the wall. The flickering light of the fire made the room look eerie.
Soon two men came in and fixed him to the wall. The shackles were closed, and he could only stand against the wall with his hands and feet open.
The servant's robe was torn open, and after examining the imprint on his body, the two of them nodded. Pick up the red-hot soldering iron next to it, and lie down next to the original brand without warning.
The smoke was rising, and Feng Luo smelled the smell of meat. It was his flesh, scalded and burnt.
"Heh!" Feng Luo was prepared, but he couldn't help but shout, and then closed his mouth.
The baptism had just begun, and two people took turns, one person was tired and sat next to him to rest, and the other person followed. The wound was poured with a potion, and the pain worsened. Then, Feng Luo was fed a bowl of soup, which made him feel the torture of his body even more deeply.
After a full hour, in addition to the new brand, Feng Luo had dozens of wounds all over his body. Those wounds were not fatal, but they were painful everywhere. What's more, the senses at this time are much more sensitive than usual.
Feng Luo would rather be in the fog zone, where his senses are dull and his pain will be reduced. But he didn't beg for mercy, gritted his teeth, and let the two people toss.
"It hurts, doesn't it? As long as you beg for mercy, you can stop, and you can heal your wounds and relieve your pain. One of them said with a smile. He smiled brightly and spoke in a friendly tone, as if a god had come to his rescue.
Feng Luo no longer had the strength to struggle, squinting at the person and shaking his head gently.
The man continued to exhort, but to no avail. He didn't seem to expect such an effect, and looked at the person next to him. Then he shook his head helplessly and poured another bowl of decoction medicine into Feng Luo.
This bowl of decoction has the opposite effect and makes people unconscious. Feng Luo felt that he was about to fall asleep, and the wound became itchy and comfortable. He went from purgatory and returned to the clouds at once.
Feng Luo seemed to be dreaming, walking on the grass. It was as if the surroundings had turned into a fairyland, making him want to lie down and sleep. At this time, a soft, kind voice sounded, telling him to continue to relax.
The voice guided Feng Luo, even if he tried to be as alert as possible, he still followed step by step. He walked from the scorching sun to the cool stream, and he lay in the water exhausted, drifting with the current.
“...... No matter who you are or what mistakes you have made, your master has never given up on you. Your master will give you new life, give you food, and all that you have belongs to your master......" The voice was confusing him.
Feng Luo felt in his heart that what he said was wrong, but he felt that he had no way to refute it, and he had no ability to resist.
“...... Swear to your master master: "Your Majesty, I am your most faithful servant, and I am willing to obey all your orders, even if I give my life, I will maintain your glory!"
