Rescue System: Fleeing Host, calm down

Chapter 314 Qi Fei purchases supplies

Manager Liu did not dare to hide anything, so he could only tell the truth.

"It has been more than two years since the year before last.

There is no record of the small number of babies sold to him in total. Our business is not honorable to begin with. On the surface, the transaction is not bad. Some rich and powerful families have some quirks and they do not want to disclose anything when buying people.

Normal people would not buy newborn babies, so this is not recorded, and I don’t know why Supervisor Yan bought so many babies? We just collect the money.”

"You mean this deal has been going on forever."

"Yes, yes..."

Manager Liu was sweating on his forehead. What had happened to him in the past few days? Every person he met was more terrifying than the last.

The matter is becoming more and more confusing, and it may be even more difficult to successfully find the little prince.

"When do they want the first shipment?"

"This, this is not necessarily the case. As long as the goods are available here, we will send them over."

Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information from the steward, Gu Ming had no choice but to give up.

Then he turned to look at Han Yi, "This dear friend looks so familiar."

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the opponent carefully. Just now he had been paying attention to their fight, and found that this person had sharp moves and was ruthless and decisive.

very similar

Suddenly, the inspiration flashed and disappeared so quickly that he didn't even catch it.

"It just so happens that this gentleman looks familiar to me."

Gu Ming's gaze became a bit more piercing. Can the other party recognize him even if he was covering his face?

He called out to "Sir" at the exit. Was it just him or did he guess something?

"Looking at your accent, you don't think you're from the north. What's the point of coming here?"

"My lord's accent doesn't sound like that of a northerner. We're all just talking to each other. I just need a few servants, so I'm looking for one from Manager Liu."

"It's really strange to buy people at night."

"That's better than looking for someone at night." Han Yi's tone was a little cold. If the other party made any moves, he wouldn't mind opening up the skylight and speaking out.

There is an entrance to the Ange, so there is nothing wrong with him coming to inspect. If Gu Shoufu is exposed, the three major aristocratic families here may not let him go easily.

After a brief confrontation, the other party deliberately concealed their identity and refused to tell the truth.

Since there is no conflict, there is no need for an additional enemy.

Both parties have a tacit understanding and will no longer test each other.

Gu Ming winked at Ariel, turned the hostage manager Liu around, and kicked him into a crowded place. The three of them disappeared in an instant.

"Ouch!"

Before Manager Liu could calm down, a cold voice came over, "Aren't you going to lead the way?"

The fallen man stood up tremblingly with the help of the guards.

"Okay, okay!"

After tidying up a little, we took people into the underground detention room.

There were no disturbances during the selection process.

After Han Yi selected 1,500 people, Qi Fei relaxed the conditions and selected another 500 people.

Many of the people here are homeless, including families of all ages.

I bought a middle-aged man, but the young and old man cried with snot and tears, which is really worrying.

Qi Fei couldn't bear to separate his family, so he bought them all. The old man with white hair could not walk here. The older one was about the same age as Uncle Cheng and could still work in the fields.

Based on these considerations, we accepted these people.

In this group of people, there were about 400 half-year-old children and girls, and more than 500 middle-aged women.

As for the girls aged fifteen or sixteen, there is no such thing. Most of these girls are hot-selling goods and are snatched away by wealthy businessmen and gentry as soon as they arrive. Those with less eye-catching looks are also picked up by the mother of the brothel, and there are no more left.

There were more than 200 people among them who were official slaves. When they were exiled, there were more than 300 people in the team. After arriving here, there were only more than 200 people left.

It was originally going to be transferred to local mining and private trading was not allowed, but after being threatened by Han Yiyi, how could Manager Liu be able to control so much?

Originally, Han Yi didn't like these official slaves very much. They were criminals of the imperial court who had violated the law. If they were implicated in the future, it would be difficult to deal with them.

But Qi Fei thought differently. He knew how much the boss valued education. These officials did not say they were well-read in poetry and books, but they were certainly proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

What the team needs most now is intellectuals. He can guess what the boss is thinking. As for anyone being implicated, there is no such thing.

To be honest, he felt that according to the current construction plan of the boss, he was completely aiming to build Daxing Mountain into an independent capital.

In the future, I believe it will be possible to dominate one area and establish a small country with the boss's ability. Besides, after the cold wave, I don't know how many people will survive.

Of course, it is too early to say this now, but who can say for sure what will happen in ten or twenty years?

Anyway, he has such an intuition.

It's just that these conjectures cannot be explained to Commander Han.

I can only vaguely say that this is what the captain meant.

This purchase cost several thousand taels, but Qi Fei still felt a little distressed?

If Manager Liu hadn't been afraid of Han Yi, he might not have been able to get the price.

With the extra money, he bought many animal skins and leather cloaks at a fur store.

It made the owner of the fur trading house, who had no business recently, laugh so hard that he couldn't even see his eyesight.

After so many miserable days, a fat sheep finally came. How could he not be happy?

After Qi Fei arrived at Luoyang City, he discovered that the temperature here was not only several degrees higher than that in Yuanyang City, but also that everyone was covered in furs and wrapped tightly, and the equipment was much better than what they had there.

Moreover, people here eat more yak and mutton. The yaks here are different from the buffaloes and cattle used in farming in the south. People are allowed to slaughter and eat them.

In the winter, make a big pot of beef/mutton soup, serve it with big sesame cakes, and warm up some soju, which will greatly enhance your ability to keep out the cold.

No wonder people here can still go out and do activities.

It's just that it's not safe to go out. There have been fights several times. There aren't many strong thugs following, so I'm afraid I'll be targeted every minute.

If these are the supplies they urgently need, it will be an unexpected surprise to see people from Arles selling camels here.

Qi Fei also saw camels for the first time. They were tall and strong and were said to be able to walk freely in the snow. In order to carry more supplies, he used his remaining money to buy four camels.

At present, the snow outside the city is so deep that ordinary donkeys, mules and oxen cannot pull the cart.

The tall sweaty horse can barely ride, but it is very difficult to carry a lot of things, but the camel is different. In such harsh conditions, it has a natural advantage.

Qi Fei purchased many urgently needed items overnight.

At dawn the next day, he set out with these two thousand slaves.

The procedures for leaving the city gate are also quite cumbersome. Not only do you need proof of identity and a release order from the Yamen, but the release order must have the seal of the county governor before you can leave the city.

For this reason, Han Yi took Manager Liu to the county governor's house quietly.

Thank you all for your support and recommendation votes, and thank you to the little cuties for your rewards! I love you, show my heart~~show your heart~~ so cute!
