"What is that?" The little white tiger was walking, but suddenly stopped. It saw from a distance, on a wooden platform, several ragged girls standing there trembling.
And around the table, there were more than a dozen wooden cages one person tall, and the cages were filled with listless men and women.
Ye Qingtang stopped slowly, followed the little white tiger's line of sight, and looked over there.
When she saw the girls whose hands and feet were bound by iron chains on the wooden platform, she frowned involuntarily.
The biggest difference between the underground black market and the other side is the slave trade.
Slave trading, whether in the Tianqi Dynasty or the Nine Nights Dynasty, is strictly prohibited, but this prohibition is only on the surface. In the underground black market of the Nine Nights Dynasty, the slave trade is quietly going on.
In the early years, the slave trade in the Nine Nights Dynasty was also completely prohibited, but since the previous emperor fell ill and the young emperor came to power, this taboo trade has been opened.
Although no one mentioned it publicly, everyone knew that the slave trade in the Nine Nights Dynasty was actually controlled by the prime minister, Qin Long.
Now that Qin Long controls the government, the emperor is young and ignorant, no one can stop the slave trade.
With Qin Long as the backer, these slave owners are even more confident, and the slave trade business is even more undisguised.
On the wooden platform, several shirtless strong men, holding black leather whips with barbs in their hands, stood fiercely on both sides. Their sturdy bodies formed a sharp contrast with the ragged girls. contrast.
The faces of those girls were full of desperation and panic, and they could only clung to each other tremblingly, but their fear became the joy of the buyers under the wooden platform.
The slave owners waved their whips from time to time, making loud noises. In the fright, the girls turned pale with fright, screaming and weeping, but their despair and fear attracted the onlookers to cry. laughter.
"These are new products that were just delivered a few days ago. I promise you won't disappoint everyone." A fat man stood on the wooden platform, looked at the buyers below with a smile, and said He also stretched out his hand and pulled one of the girls over, completely ignoring the girl's struggle and pleading, tore up her ragged clothes, crushed her dignity, and exposed her to everyone's sight.
"Tsk tsk, you humans still have such a habit." The little white tiger also saw the way at this moment. Those girls and the people in the cage were probably sold as goods by those guys who were also humans.
Ye Qingtang's face darkened accordingly.
In her previous life, when she came to the black market, her seniors mostly led the way, and they would deliberately avoid these slave trading areas. This time, it was Ye Qingtang who saw the slave trade scene with her own eyes.
Amidst the laughter of the crowd of onlookers, the woman who was dragged out cried hoarsely, but her tears did not attract anyone's kindness, but instead made the buyers eager to try.
At this moment, a man in fine clothes came into the crowd accompanied by several attendants. Although the man was dressed gorgeously, his face was extremely ugly, and his distorted facial features seemed to have been burned.
