C424 streets that should not exist (2/2)
The slave shops here had signs hanging on them, and even the people inside had their prices marked clearly.
Within the cage were young men, beautiful women, children, elders, and even scholars. If these people knew anything, their prices would be set a little higher. If they did not know anything, they would be hung in the cage at the entrance.
A beautiful name, sold off!
If it was an item, perhaps Mu Ru Yue could admire it. But these were people, people like her. The word 'slave' was carved on the heads of these people, because they would never be able to stand up again in their entire lives.
There were no specific rules regarding slavery in the Moon Imperial City, and these people were denied the right to exist as humans. They were like objects, and the ownership of the items was naturally given to the person who spent the money.
Murong Yue originally thought that the indenture contract was already very poisonous. After all, the last time, Xing'er caused a lot of trouble because of this indenture contract. The family even had the right to write another indenture contract to sell her.
But now that he looked at these people, he finally understood. This … This was the real darkness.
What would you like to choose, sir?” ”After looking at it for a long time, why don't you come in and take a look?” Perhaps it was because Mu Ru Yue had been standing at the entrance of a shop for a long time that she saw a middle-aged man with a moustache walking out. He carefully sized Mu Ru Yue up, especially after seeing the golden hairpin on Mu Ru Yue's head.
At this moment, Mu Ru Yue and Feng Qing's faces had changed. It was hard to see their original appearances clearly. However, this hairpin was priceless.
In front of them, Feng Qing and Jun Ruo were asking something, but the people they were asking seemed to become impatient. In the end, they saw Mu Ru Yue being dragged inside. This scene caused both of them to be stunned.
Then, it was Jun Ruo who reacted first. He hurried over and stopped Mu Ru Yue, who was about to reject him. He chuckled and said, ”Shop owner, shall we go inside to talk?”
The smile on Jun Ruo's face was faint.
When the shop owner saw Jun Ruo, he was surprised for a moment, but then he smiled: ”So it's the young master of the Jun Family. Is this young lady your friend?” The shop owner asked curiously. When Jun Ru heard that, he shook his head and said, ”That's not it. I'm here to help introduce them. They're a couple that plan to buy some to go back and do business. ”But I don't know what it's like.” As he spoke, he pointed at Feng Qing.
Feng Qing also walked over.
The owner of the slave shop carefully sized up Feng Qing. He saw that although this young man's appearance was average, his clothes were luxurious. Looking at this girl, the hairpin on her head was enough to buy half a street of slaves.
These two people must be rich.
The business he wanted was also a big one. The Jun Family's status shouldn't be a problem since they were one of the six aristocratic families. He would also not do anything improper, and bring along people he should not have brought.
Thinking this, the smile on the middle-aged man's face became even more enthusiastic. He made a gesture to invite them in and said, ”Honored guests, please enter.”
After saying that, Mu Ru Yue and Feng Qing looked at each other. Feng Qing took the initiative to hold Mu Ru Yue's hand. He whispered into Mu Ru Yue's ears, ”I don't want to be suspected.”
That made Murong Yue speechless. However, she also knew that since they were already saying that they were husband and wife, if they didn't even do something like holding hands, there was no guarantee that they would be discovered. This was a slave market, although Yue Yue maintained an open and close attitude towards this kind of thing.
However, if it were to be completely revealed, it would cause a huge commotion and the entire Peony City would be destroyed due to carelessness. All these years, the people who had made a deal with the Peony City were like a huge network, trapping everyone within.
Even if it was Feng Qing, he would still have to be very careful.
Inside, there was a room that was 200 square meters in size. Inside, there was all kinds of furniture on the tea table. It looked more like a place to stay. This middle-aged man could tell that Mu Ru Yue and the others were puzzled, but then he pressed something down on it. A cellar suddenly appeared within the flat room.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, ”We are dealing in flesh and blood business. If we put more on the surface, it would be a crime of decapitation. For example, the one on the wall now, if something went wrong, it would be fine.
After all, every family had a few servants. There was no need to think about selling them, but it was within reason. However, if there were more of this, then it would be a sin. Guests, please come down with me. ”
The middle-aged man's explanation was very straightforward. He probably thought that Mu Ru Yue and Feng Qing were brought here by Jun, so it was definitely reasonable. Even though Jun Mo Xie remained expressionless, Mu Ru Yue seemed to have thought of something. After entering the cellar.
The scene that entered her eyes made even her eyes hurt.
