Chapter 1497 Depressed slave market

If you want to find out the news, there are several places that are the best places to go.

Either it is a tavern, or a brothel, and in August, there is another place that is the slave market.

The first-class slaves transported from various cities were first locked up in several slave markets in the city. Those slaves were kept there like livestock, and then waited for the master to come and pick them.

Before the slave uprising, hundreds of thousands of slaves were transported to August every day, and they were collected and distributed through these slave markets.

Now that the equation wants to find Cynthia, the best way is to start from the source.

Starting from several slave markets in August, the possibility of finding clues is higher than going to other places.

In order to find information more quickly, Equation, Liana, and Dekia split up.

To the west of August, I heard that there is the largest slave market in the city, so Fang went there.

Because he wanted to find Cynthia, Fang Fang didn't have much mood to appreciate this thousand-year-old capital, even if its majestic city, it really made people not interested to stop and watch.

When he came to the slave market, Equation was a little taken aback.

Before coming here, I thought it would be full of people and a lively scene.

But when I really came here, I found that it was deserted and deserted, except for the empty fence, there was nothing.

A middle-aged man with a bald head leaned on the railing and sighed, looking sad.

Fang Fang wanted to find out what was going on, so he went up to chat with him, "My friend, why are you sighing, what's wrong?"

The middle-aged man took a look at the equation, and found that the equation was extraordinary, and his clothes looked like a high-class person, so he immediately asked, "Are you a nobleman?"

"I am an envoy from a distant country, and my king sent me to meet your lord."

"Oh, it turned out to be a foreign envoy, no wonder..."

The middle-aged man nodded, thinking that it is no wonder that the equation doesn't look like an Ohrei, and his black eyes and black hair are rare. He turned out to be a foreign envoy, so it makes sense Why is he wearing a luxurious dress.

"I see you have been leaning on the railing and sighing, what is this for?"

"Hey, you are not from O'Herre, so you don't know the current situation in O'Herre..."

"What's the matter with O'Herley?"

"Now the slaves in many cities in the country have risen. They have rioted against the rule of the Ohre people. Many cities have been occupied by them, and this momentum is spreading like a fire."

Equation pretended not to know, "Oh, really? But I think August is fine."

The man said: "Can it be the same? August is the capital of O'Herley. It has the most elite troops in the country and the strongest city walls. There are also two adults, Gaius and Gness. It is impossible for slaves to attack August in a short time."

"In that case, why are you sighing?"

"Because the slaves are revolting."

The middle-aged man scratched the few remaining hairs on the top of his head, and told Fang Fang the reason for his boredom with a sad face.

It turned out that he was a practitioner in the slave market. This is the induction given to him by the equation. To put it simply, he is a human trafficker. His job is to buy slaves transported to August from other cities and buy those slaves After they are released, they are stored in this slave market. The so-called storage is just to chain their hands and feet, and then lock them here like livestock, waiting for the stewards of the rich to come and pick them.

When the stewards of the rich came to the slave market, they would usually find the boss they were familiar with, that is, the slave trader, and then go to his stall to check.After some inspections, he selected the slaves he was satisfied with from a bunch of slaves, and then paid with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, thus completing a slave transaction.

Originally, all of this was a mature assembly line operation, but now the slave uprisings in other cities have greatly affected the operation of the entire Ohrei country, and the slaves that should have been transported from other cities cannot be transported to Ogu ster.

In the city of Augustus, in order to completely extinguish the flames of the slave uprising, Gaius has issued many slave-related bans, one of which is to temporarily close the slave markets in the city and prohibit any slave trading in the short term. The master must take good care of his own slaves, strictly prohibiting these slaves from leaving the slave master's manor, and those who violate it will be severely punished.

With Gaius' order, Augustus entered into an extraordinary period.

That's why this middle-aged man's troubles arise. From his standpoint, he is just a businessman who happens to be buying and selling slaves. There is no essential difference from those who sell pigs and sheep. The uprising suffered heavy losses.

Fang Fang smiled gloatingly, then put away his smile and pretended to comfort him: "It's just that the business is out of order, so it's not as serious as you said, right?"

The middle-aged man kept complaining, "It's serious, it's much more serious than you imagined. Where do you think the funds for my business came from? They were all borrowed from those wealthy businessmen. The one thousand dinars agreed at the beginning My monthly interest is [-], and I won’t be able to pay back the money once the business is over.”

Fang Fang said: "Buying and selling slaves should be a profitable business. You have been a slave trader for so many years, haven't you saved some savings?"

The man burst into tears, "I had saved a lot of money, but that damned woman in my family, she took my money to spend time outside, and took care of her lover, and together with her lover, she swept away everything in the house I was expecting to be able to turn around this time, but I never thought that this would happen to me."

"Heaven is going to kill you. This is called self-inflicted crime." Fang Fang said in his heart, "You have done too many things like slave trading, and even God will not help you. This is to give you some punishment."

"What do you think I should do..."

"Approximately how many gold coins is a thousand dinars?"

"My lord, what do you mean?"

The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly sparked with hope. He seemed to hear a possibility from Fang Fang's words that could save him from fire and water. Looking at Fang Fang's clothes and temperament, he could be sure that he was definitely a rich man. Maybe he can really help him tide over the difficulties.

"I have something I want to ask you. If you can provide me with effective information, then I am willing to help you repay this debt."

"Really, is it true, my lord, are you serious?"

"Don't get excited, I need to confirm whether you can provide me with effective information."

"Sir, please speak."
