Chapter 235: Black Fang
At the same time, Yu Hao and his party had already entered the territory of Sichuan Prefecture, and at this rate, they would be able to return to Wudu City in three days.
Along the way, all the eyes were on refugees who had fled from Yunzhou.
Although the Shahe Pass has not been broken yet, some of the people of Yunzhou who heard the wind have plans to flee from Yunzhou, otherwise it will be too late to run away when the Shahe Pass is broken.
In particular, some people living near Shaheguan ran out early with their families, either to Yunzhou City, or to other three states in the south.
Looking at the people dragging their families on the official road, King Pingnan sighed and said: "These are the people of Yunzhou, it is this king who is sorry for them, if it weren't for the fact that this king almost lost Shahe Pass, they would not have left their hometown and come to Sichuan to save their lives." ”
In his view, it was his responsibility to flee to this place.
If it weren't for the defeat of the Yunzhou army at the beginning and heavy casualties, these people would not have thought that Shahe Pass could not be defended, let alone flee.
"Lord Wang, don't worry, these people just don't know that we have won the battle, if they know that we have won the battle, they will return to Yunzhou immediately, after all, no matter how good the outside is, it is not as good as their hometown." Yu Hao said with a smile.
In ancient times, communication and transportation were very backward, and these people were able to run here with their legs, which means that they have left Yunzhou for a while.
The news of the victory at Shaheguan must have not reached their ears yet.
King Pingnan nodded, he also understood this truth, but he was a little sad when he saw these people who had left their hometowns.
Because Yu Hao and the others were riding high-headed horses, the dart masters were wearing uniform costumes, which soon attracted the attention of the people.
"Who are these people? Why are they all riding big horses, they look so handsome! ”
"Look at this scale, there must be one or two thousand people, they should be soldiers."
"They are coming from the direction of Yunzhou, are they the defenders of our Yunzhou?"
"Look, isn't that middle-aged man at the front the King of Pingnan?"
"Yes, yes, even if it is the king of Pingnan, I know! But isn't King Pingnan guarding Shahe Pass? Could it be that Shahe Pass was lost, and he fled with us with the remnants of the defeated army? ”
"Hmph, it's not good to fight, it's quite fast to escape, it's just a waste prince!"
For a while, the people complained, thinking that King Pingnan had lost the battle and came here.
In their opinion, King Pingnan still had so many people with him, so he should defend Shahe Pass, instead of just caring about his own life and running away on horseback.
Some emotional ordinary people looked at King Pingnan's eyes full of anger, but they also dared to quietly scold King Pingnan in their hearts for being a useless prince.
Yu Hao and his entourage also noticed the angry gazes of the people around them, and they were all a little inexplicable.
What is the hostility of this great hostility towards them? Could it be that their own horses scared them?
At this moment, a man with seven or eight children attracted the attention of Yu Hao and others.
The man was about twenty years old, and he was followed by seven or eight children, all dirty and skinny.
The eldest of these children was thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest was seven or eight years old.
As he walked, the man beat and scolded the children behind him, urging them to hurry up.
One of the seven or eight-year-old boys accidentally fell and the man went up with a whip, and the little boy's back was suddenly covered with flesh and blood.
Seeing this, Yu Hao and the others frowned, shouldn't this be Yu Hao's black teeth?
You must know that the slave trade in Daqian is a legal trade, and the slave trader is also called Yazi.
However, the slaves traded by ordinary tooth traders basically came from regular dental dealers, and these slaves were either prisoners of war, or they could not afford to live voluntarily or were sold into dental shops by family members.
In addition, there are also some teeth that specialize in kidnapping tickets.
They singled out lonely children and women, and sold these kidnapped "meat tickets" as slaves, doing business without capital.
The refugee team is the easiest to blend into, after all, the scene is chaotic when the people are fleeing, and it is easier for the black tooth to take advantage of the chaos.
These teeth, at the risk of violating the laws of the Great Qian, are known as black teeth.
Generally, the teeth of the regular tooth shop are afraid that their slaves will not be sold, so they will rarely whip the slaves, if they are broken, they will have no appearance, and naturally no one will be willing to buy.
After all, the slaves of the regular tooth shop are bought at their own expense, and they only make a difference in the middle, and if they can't sell it, they will lose money.
But the Black Tooth is different, their slaves are all kidnapped, they don't spend a penny, and they sell cheaply, so they don't have to worry about not being able to sell at all, let alone losing money.
At this time, seeing the man beating these children like this, Yu Hao and the others agreed that the man was a black tooth.
At this moment, Shi Meng couldn't stand it anymore, rushed over with his horse, and kicked the man to the ground with one kick.
"You dog, what is the crime of whipping a child in the street?"
The children were all frightened by this sudden turn of events, and curled up together, looking at Shi Meng in horror.
The man got up from the ground, glanced at Shi Meng in fear, and said, "I...... Am I breaking the law by hitting my own child? What's the matter with you? How great is being a soldier? ”
"You ......" Shi Meng was very angry, but he couldn't find the words to refute for a while, after all, Daqian didn't have that law that states that parents can't beat their children.
"You dare to say these are your children?" King Pingnan also walked over at this time and asked in a cold voice.
If this man is really a black tooth, he is selling the children of serious people in Yunzhou, and it is impossible for King Pingnan to ignore it!
"Of course, I don't believe you ask them!" The man said, looking at the children behind him, "Tell them quickly, am I your son?" ”
"Call Daddy!"
After speaking, the man raised the whip in his hand, and his eyes were full of threat.
Under the man's coercion, the children nodded hurriedly and shouted, "Daddy! ”
The man was very satisfied, and looked at King Pingnan and the others proudly.
Shi Meng and King Pingnan were stunned, they didn't expect that these children would really call men fathers, if the man insisted that these children were his, unless he went to his household registration place to check, there was really no way to take the man.
At this moment, Yu Hao walked over and said to the man with a smile: "This big brother, can you show me your tooth card?" ”
The man glanced at Yu Hao, and when he saw that Yu Hao was dressed gorgeously, he didn't dare to underestimate it, but just said, "Who are you?" Why do I need to check my tooth tag? ”
The tooth tag is a status symbol for everyone in Daqian, although it is only a small wooden card, but it is engraved with all the information of a person, including the place of origin and date of birth.
"I'm sorry, Jianguo Temple handled the case, I said you have to show me if you want to see your tooth card!" Yu Hao said, and took out a piece of Jianguo Temple's waist card from his arms.
