From the hills, there is only one dirt road leading to the village, and it is more than 500 meters long.

Moreover, the road conditions on dirt roads are very poor, and they are a pit at all, which is not conducive to the horse's rapid racing.

Such a long distance and such poor road conditions ensure that once something happens, the village has enough time to deal with the problem.

Or, dispose of all the evidence.

Even when we walked about two hundred meters away from the village, there was a sentry located above the land bunker.

A wooden house was built on it, with some dry firewood and branches piled up next to it.

Hearing the sound, several men ran out of it. When they saw that the person who led the way was Xiao Bao and the boss Zhuang Jingtaozhuang came over, they returned to the house.

In fact, Zhuang Jingtao has told Liu Mingqi about the situation here.

However, seeing such precautions with your own eyes, Liu Mingqi still understood why Xiqiu Village can survive until now.

At this moment, he could only hope that Chi Saner could be as smart as before, and could unknowingly touch these two posts and successfully lurk not far from the entrance of the village.

In this way, you can rush over to crush the enemy in the most fierce posture.

Of course, the boy was not too worried.

Even if Chi Saner and the others can come from behind, there is a guard around Bugang, so the people in Xiqiu Village will not be able to escape.

It’s not that Liu Mingqi boasted, even a hundred people like Jiu Ge and Xiao Bao just now were not enough for Dazhu and the others to fight.

After all, Dazhu is the personal bodyguard that Prince Yu and Princess Yu have chosen for their son since childhood. They have made great efforts to select and train them, otherwise they would not dare to hand over their son's safety to him.

Zhuang Jingtao was talking all the way.

After carrying Jiu Ge, he stuffed a silver ingot of ten taels to Xiao Bao.

Although Xiaobao often receives some filial piety or extra money, most of it is broken.

Suddenly seeing such a large silver ingot, he was also very excited.

Zhuang Jingtao had a legitimate reason. He said that he wanted to choose the best and freshest product, and hoped that Xiaobao could provide some information.

Xiaobao naturally knew everything about this business that he was extremely familiar with.

Anyway, Zhuang Jingtao has been doing business for more than ten years before, and everyone is familiar with each other and will not be wary of it.

This is also the most important reason why Brother Jiu let him in so easily just now.

Habits become nature.

Inertia can make people neglect a lot of things.

"Hey, haven't there been more disaster victims in the past few months? There are more disaster victims and chaos, so our business will be fine."

"After they get familiar with each other, they can send seven or eight people every day, and most of them will give away more than a dozen."

"Not only children, but also many girls of seventeen or eighteen years old, and wives of twenty-five or six years old. I have slept more than a dozen times!"

"What should I do if I don't obey? Just whip it! Tie it and beat it! If you don't give it food, see how long they can last! In the end, they rushed over like dogs and begged us?"

"That is, everyone's temper has improved recently. If you want to leave it in the past, how many people won't die in that month?"

"As there are too many people, it will not be so easy to sell. The customers will choose. If there is no way, they can only repair them and send them to the Beggars' Gang."

“…”

Liu Mingqi and Bagu both listened to Xiaobao bragging silently.

"These people are really beasts! They are not worth forgiven!" Bagu said in a low voice.

"Um."

Liu Mingqi was not too excited. When he decided to come to Xiqiu Village, the fate of these people had already been decided.

When we arrived at the entrance of the village, someone came over to lead the carriage and horse to the side and tied it up. Everyone walked in.

The guards' weapons were also taken away, but Dazhu still insisted on bringing his stick to protect the master.

After apologizing from an old acquaintance Zhuang Jingtao, and they felt that a stick would not have much destructive effect, so they finally let it go.

After slowly entering Xiqiu Village, Liu Mingqi found that the houses of these people were well-built.

They are all big yards and tall walls, and they look like small landlords.

Moreover, the roads in the village are very well built, all of which are stone roads with compacted foundations, which can be driven across from two carriages.

Standing at the entrance of the village, the roads are well connected, and I feel like I enter a spider web.

"There are more than 130 households in Xiqiu Village, and every family has several males. With the concerted efforts, today's prosperity has been created." Zhuang Jingtao seemed to explain to Liu Mingqi, but in fact he was reminding him not to act rashly.

"Yes."

Xiaobao said proudly, "There are more than 300 strong men in our village! They are all strong men who are desperate. Even the bandits in the past dare not fight us."

Liu Mingqi smiled and said, "When she heard this, she smiled."

In fact, I didn't believe what he said at all.

Even if this group of people can still gather together and be fierce, but when they encounter life and death-related seasons, can they still be as fierce as before?

People will lose their lives when they are poor, but after they have money and enjoy life, they will not be like before.

Zheng Fuzhang, a great businessman in the capital, was also a famous bandit leader on the Grand Canal back then. As a result, he was scared by a head of human beings only a few years later.

"After that, the child I want, Xiaobao, you have to choose the best one for me today." Zhuang Jingtao complimented: "Who doesn't know that you have the best vision and the product you choose is the most popular?"

Xiaobao received the benefits, and heard the compliment again, and said unconsciously: "That's it! But choosing children is not what I am best at. If you want to choose a few young and older women, I promise to let you choose better than the emperor's concubine!"

Zhuang Jingtao's face turned pale because of fright.

It's so fatal!

I am beside the emperor's nephews and nieces. If you say this, you will definitely suffer!

Xiaobao naturally didn't know this, so he continued, "Well... there are sixty or seventy piles up these days, with many pretty appearances and honest and obedient people... I'll take you to see it first!"

He led everyone around for a while, and soon he arrived at the entrance of a house that seemed to be similar to that outside.

"Bang bang"

Xiao Bao knocked on the door, but he stretched out a head from the side wall. When he saw Xiao Bao wave at him, he shouted and asked the people below to open the door.

Before he could walk in, Bagu heard a depressing sob.

As soon as he stepped in and saw the scene inside, Bagu's face showed shock.

Dazhu and the guards who walked in together couldn't help but take a breath.

What they saw was sitting in a large open space in front of the house, standing a group of boys and girls under the age of ten, missing one hand, missing one foot, or having two eyes blinded, or even having two hands or legs... In short, none of them is sound.

If this is born, that's fine.

But everyone clearly saw that many children were roughly bandaged on their shoulders and thighs, and blood was seeping out.

The sob sounds were made by them.

And those children who appear to have no scars are all numb without exception and cannot even see the person who comes in.

There were three or four other adult men scattered around, monitoring them.

"Bang!"

A whip suddenly thrust on a child who was crying loudly.

I saw a man in his forties standing beside him holding a whip in his hand, and scolded gloomyly: "Cry! Cry! I'll tell you to cry! Cry and beat you to death again!"

It was already late autumn in September, but children were generally dressed thinly.

With such a whip, his coarse cloth clothes quickly soaked out dark liquid, and it was obvious that the wound was bleeding a lot.

After all, the child was not old and immediately cried loudly in pain.

The man became even more angry when he saw this. He whipped up several more whips, and beat the child who had lost his hand and rolled around on the ground.

"stop!"

Bagu couldn't help it anymore and rushed up and said, "If you beat me again, you'll kill me!"

The man glanced at the eighth aunt, then looked at Zhuang Jingtao and others behind her, and grinned and said, "What's wrong, this young lady, we are all doing population transactions, and you still can't bear it?"

"I……"

The eighth aunt stepped forward and hugged the child who was trembling in pain, and turned around and said, "Mingqi! You are talking!"

Liu Mingqi walked forward helplessly and apologized to the group of men around her, "Everyone, I'm sorry, my sister is here to see it for the first time, and it's causing trouble for everyone!"

Xiaobao walked up to him and scolded, "Girl, what are you doing? Do you want to buy this disabled person? They are all fucked and waiting for goods!"

This group of traffickers is also quite smart.

Those ugly and not very smart men and women will be disabled and sold to the Beggars' Sect to be begging.

Beautiful boys and girls will sell them to rich people at a high price or to flower houses.

Different quality, the price is naturally different.

Liu Mingqi looked at Bagu’s heartache and could only smile and said, “Brother Bao, my sister is soft-hearted. Why don’t you ask you to give her some face this time and ask her to buy this little guy?”
