Chapter two hundred and one, dark alley area

After burning the bamboo slips, Wei Yuan did not get up and go back to the room, but sat in the yard with the cup of tea until dawn.

At 10:00 on the dawn, another figure sneaked into the villa, handed a roll of bamboo slips to Wei Yuan again, and then quickly left.

After Wei Yuan opened the bamboo slip and read it, he was slightly stunned, then chuckled and murmured to himself, "Zhao Mantang, it's interesting."

The bamboo slips record not the families that are related to the demon world, but the number of slaves in the Quanrong territory and some more special slaves.

According to the investigation, the elite soldiers of the major clans of the Quanrong may not be able to threaten the defenders on the border of the Hao Kingdom, but the number of slaves is different, with a total of 100,000. Although the realm is not high, most of them are below the sixth rank, and most of them are mortals, but the number of these mortals is enough to make people frightened.

As for the Zhao Mantang mentioned by Wei Yuan, he had become the leader of all the slaves of the family under the Zhao family, and it seemed that he was planning something in secret recently. This made Wei Yuan wonder whether the demon clan did not choose a clan relative, but instead started to think about Zhao Mantang.

After all, Quanrong's slaves were bullied and grew up. In addition to slavery, they probably also contain hatred that cannot be ignored. It is very easy to control the hearts of these people.

This Zhao Mantang is a slave of the Zhao family, and he is also the orthodox bloodline of the Zhao family. He is in line with the current head of the family Zhao Tianyou, and is a half-brother of the same father.

After receiving this news, two thoughts came to Wei Yuan's mind. If Zhao Mantang had connections with the demons, he would put pressure on the Zhao family with the 100,000 cavalry of the Hao Kingdom on the border and force Zhao Mantang back to the Hao Kingdom for interrogation. If not, he would use Zhao Mantang's status among slaves to overthrow the entire Niu Rong's dark slave system, and could also use a huge group of slaves to investigate who was involved with the demons in the Quanrong territory.

After dawn, Zhang Gao and Zuo Ci also woke up from entering into meditation and walked out of the room. Wei Yuan was still sitting in the original place and never moved. He was holding a cup of tea that had already become cold.

"Seeing you like this, it seems that there is some news. What do you want to do next?"

Zhang Gao glanced at the ashes burned by the bamboo slips at Wei Yuan's feet and spoke lightly.

Wei Yuan smiled slightly and put down the teacup in his hand, "It's very simple, go find someone."

"who?"

"slave."

After saying these two words, Wei Yuan stopped talking and stood up and left the other courtyard.

Although Zuo Ci and Zhang Gao were a little confused, they didn't say much in the end and stood up to follow. After all, this time they joined Quanrong and were still led by Wei Yuan.

In Quanrong, there is a clear division between slaves and families. Slaves cannot wear silk products or walk with their heads up. They can only kneel or lie in front of the master's house. They cannot answer without asking questions. They cannot answer questions without asking questions. Apart from this, they cannot talk too much.

Due to the huge status gap, the slaves did not have the qualifications to live in the family mansion and could only live outside the clan, and even the civilians in the city were unwilling to go to.

Because there are too many slaves in Quanrong, the dark alley area occupies almost half of Quanrong's land, and no one is willing to manage such a place. Only when the slaves return here will they feel so peaceful. After all, here, everyone is slaves, and there is no distinction between noble and humbleness, and they will not lose their lives if they are not careful.

Wei Yuan walked on the street, looked at Zhang Gao, and said, "I don't want a tail to follow behind."

Zhang Gao raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Do you take yourself too seriously? Do you really treat me as your thug?"

Hearing this, Wei Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, no longer making things boring, and turned to look at Zuo Ci, "Then you go."

Zuo Ci smiled helplessly. Although he was once the top in the Imperial College, his status among the three was the lowest. He was the sword head and sword armor, which were all within the entire world. He was the first in the heavenly list and was taken away by Wei Yuan. Now he only had the identity of a thug.

After rubbing his eyebrows, Zuo Ci didn't say much, turned around and left, and cleared the tails that the clans secretly arranged to follow them.

Wei Yuan went to find Zhao Mantang and he didn't want the Quanrong clan to know about it. According to the current situation, Zhao Mantang was definitely making some big moves recently. He, a slave, could not have the strength to lead troops to the battle and invade Haoguo, and the Quanrong clan would never give him that opportunity.

So Zhao Mantang must have used his position among slaves to rise up and deal with the Quanrong clan.

However, although there are many slaves in the Quanrong territory, they are all people with poor cultivation talents among the major clans. Their realm strength is very different from that of the family orthodox monks. Even if there are many people, Zhao Mantang is probably very clear that it is impossible to truly overthrow the clan slave system of the Quanrong since ancient times.

It can be seen from this that Zhao Mantang should have received some kind of funding to act like this. There is a very likely shadow of the demon clan behind him.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Zuo Ci came back and spoke softly, "All tails are clean."

Wei Yuan nodded and looked at the gradually sparse population around the street. "The dark alley area is ahead, and the people we are looking for are here."

Zhang Gao raised his eyebrows, "What's the special thing about the slave you mentioned? And what do you want to do when you join Quanrong this time?"

"Do you want to know?"

Wei Yuan tilted his head and looked at Zhang Gao, and asked with a smile.

Looking at his smiling sunny face, Zhang Gao narrowed his eyes and shook his head slightly at the end, "Forget it, I don't want to get involved in the intrigues in your temple, anyway, as long as you don't die."

Wei Yuan nodded with a smile, "Okay, since that's the case, let's go find that Zhao Mantang."

After the three of them walked into the dark alley, they only felt their eyes lit up.

Wei Yuan smiled unexpectedly, "The name of Dark Alley does not sound like a sunny place, but I didn't expect that what I heard and what I saw were so different."

The dark alley area in Wei Yuan and the other two was not very dark. On the contrary, it was more lively than ordinary markets. However, people living here were dressed simply. Both adults and children had yellow faces and muscles. Not only could they keep up with their nutrition, but there were not even many monks. Even if they had one, they had never reached the fetal breathing realm.
