When someone was splashed, they swore at the people who delivered the goods. What they said was not all Mandarin. Many of them were dialects before Zeguo. In a word, good and bad people mixed together!

The smell of sweat, the smell of fish, and the smell of decay mixed together.

This is the most real appearance of Zeguo's capital.

Xie Linlang carefully avoid the truck, mixed in the crowd to observe everywhere.

There are a lot of escaped slaves in the capital of zerguo. Some of them fled to other places, and some of them mixed up with the common people at the bottom.

Except for some of the slaves with dark skin and no characteristics, as long as their necks are covered with cloth, the word "slave" can be covered.

Many lower class slaves will have a word "slave" tattooed on their foreheads, which is very difficult to cover up, but middle and upper class slaves will not.

So when Xie Linlang saw this kind of weather and surrounded his neck, he could be judged as a runaway slave.

If it is a slave who helps the master to come to work, or is hired, they will be watched all the time and have no chance to act alone.

Just when Xie Linlang wants to follow one of the men around his neck, a super loud voice suppresses her!

Not far away, an old woman with a big waist was pinching her waist and swearing.

"Check, check, what? I've paid enough tax

The official opposite her looked at the woman with a face full of flesh and blood, but he still took a piece of paper to say.

"Some people report that you have smuggled slaves on board. We are also a routine business. Don't let us be embarrassed!"

The old woman heard her words and cried out more loudly.

"Runaway slave? There are not a thousand or eight hundred slaves running away from the capital every day, and I have so many boats. After you check, it's dark. Do you want the harvest today? Do you pay for the lost money? "

In the face of the old woman's aggressive attitude, these officials had no choice, because the nephew of the old aunt was the governor of the capital city, that is, their boss, and they were not easy to make a scene too ugly.

So the leader went over and pulled the old woman's sleeve and discussed the way.

"Not all of them. Just one or two of them, which means that we can go back to work..."

The old woman's eyes kicked, "not half a ship! I'm going to sea now. Get out of the way. Don't get in the way here

After she finished, she hummed and turned her head and left. A dozen strong slaves immediately followed her and carried the goods onto the ship.

Seeing the old lady, more than a dozen ships were about to leave the port, and the officials could not help it.

Among them, there was humanity, "big brother, the old aunt must have hidden a lot of escaped slaves on the ship. What should we do? So many slaveholders are waiting for someone else to come

The chief official bit his teeth and looked at the angry way of those ships.

"If you go back and report it directly and ask it to issue an order of enforcement, I don't believe it. If there is a letter from an official, this old woman still dares to be so rude!"

He said and took people angry left, at this time, Xie Linlang side someone sighed.

"Well, I guess Mrs. Yu can't hide this time There are a lot of children on her boat. If she is caught, it will be a real sin... "

Xie Linlang turned around and saw that many people with food baskets were talking about it. They may not be from Lianyu port. It is estimated that the food here is cheap, so he came here to buy it.

They all seemed to know that there were runaway slaves on the old woman's ship, but they did not report them, but felt sympathy.

Xie Lin Lang couldn't help but come to ask, "is there really a lot of runaway slaves on that ship?"

See their vigilant looking at themselves, Xie Lin Lang said quickly, "I have no other meaning, I will ask."

One of the women looked at Xie Linlang and said with a basket.

"It's not much. It's just some children. When she was young, Mrs. Yu gave birth to three sons, all of whom died in the war. Later, her husband also went to live a lonely life, guarding such a large ship industry, and finally managed to survive. It was only for a few years that she had a good life.

And you don't think she's fierce. She's actually a good person.

Most of the children and slaves escaped with the help of adults. Once they are caught, they will either be sold to the kilns or sold to the Colosseum as bait. The end can be imagined.

So those who report it are really rotten. What can this child do in their way? "

"You can't say that..." Another woman with a basket said, "look at the three East families. Their ancestors all made fish nets. As a result, some slave owners let their slaves learn the craft and came to rob the business.

The net made by slaves only costs half of the other family's money. Who else would buy it? It's said that his family broke down business and was in debt again. It's hard to break the ice now... "

"It's not just their family. There are more and more slaves in recent years. The slave owners participate in everything, forcing ordinary people to have no way to live! So it's normal for some people to hate slaves and report them. If all the slaves of Mrs. Yu were taken away, she would not be so tired.

After all, not all slaves are obedient. Recently, slaves often kill their employers! "After listening to their discussion, Xie Linlang had a deeper understanding of the psychology of ordinary people.

They both sympathized with slaves and were forced to live by slaves. This was because there were too many slaves in the capital.

They used to only do rough work, but slowly, when little slave owners couldn't get the strength to work, they naturally looked to other industries.

No wonder the old emperor was in such a hurry to sell all the slaves. First, there were too many slaves and social conflicts rose sharply. Second, when the slaves were saturated, they could not sell them again.

I just want to use this way to solve the problems accumulated in Zeguo for decades. I don't know whether these people are too smart or too stupid.

Just when Xie Linlang was thinking, suddenly, he just heard a roar.

"No! Here comes the man from the city shipping department

As soon as the sound came out, the bazaar, which was still unable to move, began to flow with a bang!

The freight men ran more quickly, and the vendors on both sides were collecting the fish quickly.

Xie Linlang was pushed all the way forward by a group of people. He didn't understand why he was so terrible?

She was pushed to the South Lane where Lianyugang people live. There are many houses here, and the road is also winding around. Many people do not know where to get into and disappear in a flash.

Every family also closed their doors and windows. When Xie Linlang heard the sound of horse's hooves behind him, the door of a low house nearby suddenly opened!

Someone reached out and pulled her in, and then slammed the door. Soon, the sound of the horse's hooves went away.

Xie Linlang looked back and saw an old woman tightly holding her sleeve in the dark room. Even though the sound of the horse's hooves had gone, she did not relax her tension, but tightly pursed the corners of her lips.
