Powerful Song Dynasty

480 Chapter 3 Brocade Night Walk [-]
Wang Xiu glared at Shi Yong, said no more, and walked quickly to the hawker.

Originally it was an angry remark with nowhere to vent, but Shi Yong was regarded as the scapegoat who hit the gunpoint, not really blaming him.When Zong Liang said so, Wang Xiu didn't say anything more, and stared at Shi Yong coldly, and walked quickly to the market.

"Speak less, apologize more." Zong Liang explained to Shi Yong in a soft voice that Wang Xiu was on fire, and talking back and making excuses would only add fuel to the fire.

On the corner of the wall outside the city, the ground is full of dirt and mud, and everywhere is filthy. The sound of human traffickers asking for price and the sound of children crying are intertwined. The scene of planting weeds and buying and selling children makes people feel more pity and sadness at the same time. !

"What's going on, there is a trade in people on the Nanxing Road of the Son of Heaven. What are you and Tangzhi County doing? The nursing home can't be furnished?" Zong Liang's face was ugly. How could such a scene happen when he was stationed last year? He couldn't help being furious , secretly scolding Shi Yong as an asshole.As the master, Bo actually sits by and watches the human trafficking, he has nothing to say.

Shi Yong was also very wronged. He worked hard to welcome the emperor and Tang magistrate, whitewashing the peace, but the people below must have reaped the benefits, thinking that it would be fine if the population transaction was placed in a remote corner of the city. Who knew Wang Xiu He would go so far as to make private visits on Weibo, completely forgetting that he doesn't pay attention to the trivial matters of people's livelihood.

"You!" Zong Liang looked like he hated iron but steel, but he came from Wang Xiu's family, from Shangshui Primary School, and Shi Yong was also from Shangshui Primary School, and he was from the same year, so he had nothing to say and had to defend one or two.

As Wang Xiu walked and watched, the children on both sides, who were dressed in rags and covered in mud, stared helplessly with their frightened little eyes. Is this still the world?His eyes were sour, and his heart trembled in shock. Is this still Shangshui?Could it be that the eldest sister and Youqin Mo Yan didn't see it?In just over half a year, the world has turned upside down, and he can't believe it's true.

He turned around and stared at Shi Yong, that gaze was almost murderous, it made Shi Yong tremble with fright, at a loss for what to do.

Zong Liang curled his lips and said without losing the opportunity: "Sir, I think it's better to seal this place first, and deal with the officials afterwards."

Wang Xiu pondered for a while, and said: "Okay, Zimu, you go back quickly and call someone, and seal this place for me. Give the voice of the surname Tang, and I will only ask if someone has escaped."

Shi Yong swallowed his saliva dryly, and said anxiously: "Don't worry, sir, I'll do it right away."

"Let's go in and see."

Wang Xiu and the others were dressed as civilians, but they were also wearing silk robes. They couldn't hide the demeanor they had cultivated over the years. Xu Zhongyao was equipped with a straight knife, and he could tell at a glance that he was either rich or expensive, and he was by no means an ordinary person.

"Three officials, show mercy and buy this child!"

"Officer, please, this kid is smart and can do anything, just give him food."

"Grand officials, it's cheap, look at their physique, they will be able to make great efforts in a few years, and they won't suffer."

A middle-aged woman in ragged clothes led a [-] or [-]-year-old girl with a smudged face and a frail, terrified face. She knelt beside Wang Xiu and kowtowed, "This high official, you have a poor woman. Buy this girl!"

Wang Xiu was unprepared, the mother and daughter were taken aback when they knelt down, and stared at the mother and daughter with wide eyes.

"This girl is 14 years old. The high-ranking officials will reward you with some money. You don't need to spend money to buy it back. You can use it as a rude girl."

Wang Xiu came back to his senses, looked closely at the woman's appearance, she was quite beautiful, although the girl is thin and small, but also has delicate features, if she takes good care of her, she will not lose a beauty in the future, he curled his lips and said: "You woman, why Reduced to the point of selling girls for money?"

"A high-ranking official, a commoner's wife was originally a good family. The year before last, my late father borrowed money from the bank to increase a few acres of land. I wanted to make more money by planting mulberry trees. I didn't expect natural disasters and man-made disasters. I lost all my money, and my deceased husband was killed by captives. The bank He also called for the loan, and the peasant woman was a woman, so she had to sell her land and her children to pay back the loan. I hope that the officials will show mercy, and accept this girl!"

"The bank's agricultural and commercial case was originally a loan for agricultural and mulberry water conservancy, and the interest on money is extremely thin." Wang Xiu felt faintly uncomfortable.

"Small profits, that's for the benefit of the grown-ups, how can it be the turn of the lowly people, they set a percentage, and it becomes a share in the hands of the small people. It was okay in the past few years, and the interest has been slowly increased since last year. Women don't know how to calculate from seven to eight, and six per cent becomes half to five."

Wang Xiu felt very annoyed. He intended to make money for the people, but was used by these corrupt officials to fill his own pockets.He expected that there must be fraud, and he could tolerate it, but he didn't expect this group of people to be so bold.

A group of dog officials emptied the entire bank of the agricultural business case, and then relented the money to farmers who had nowhere to borrow money. To keep people alive is tolerable or unbearable.

Zong Liang's body trembled slightly, and his expression excitedly said: "This, this is too outrageous, how can you be so bold and reckless?"

Wang Xiu shook her head. Since Zhong Liqiu left the bank, things have gradually changed. It seems that the control of silence is far inferior to that of Zhong Liqiu, so she should pay more attention.

He was on the fire, but he saw two big men who looked like butchers, each holding a rope in his hand, tied more than [-] girls and seven or eight boys, walking towards this side, chatting and laughing as they walked, his expression suddenly changed livid.

Zong Liang and Xu Zhong saw Wang Xiu's face changed and his eyes were vicious, and he was about to kill someone, so they followed in a panic.

"Stop." Wang Xiu walked up to the two butchers and shouted.

The two of them didn't want someone to block the way, and they spoke in a bad tone, and were about to curse and go out.But he saw a person in Susi's long gown standing in front of him, followed by two people who were also in luxurious clothes, one of them was powerful and equipped with a straight knife.People in Jianghu are the best at observing words and demeanor, seeing that they are not the ones to be provoked, the leader of the butcher changed his smile and said respectfully: "What is this official doing?"

Wang Xiu stared at the other party in disgust, and said: "These children, what are they going to do to make a living, and what is the price of reselling them?"

It turned out that they were here to buy and sell. The butcher breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "So the officials are asking about the market. These are all high-quality goods, whether they are handled or eaten. As long as the officials set the starting price, the quality depends on the officials pick."

eat and drink?Wang Xiudun felt his stomach churning, as if he had seen the terrifying scene of a sharp knife eviscerating his bones, he retched twice and almost vomited out.

Xu Zhonghu's eyes opened angrily, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching, how could he not hear the meaning of eating and drinking.

Zong Liang's face was miserable, and he couldn't help but said: "Skinned people alive, Chenzhou has food, how dare you buy and sell human flesh?"

Seeing Wang Xiu's unkind expression, the butcher was taken aback by Zong Liang's rude words, but he still said bluntly: "Brother, life is so boring, what are you doing with your business?"
