After nightfall, the Mule and Horse Market on the banks of Xiaotong River in the west of Linzhou City became lively again.

A few months ago, there was still a weedy sank flat here. A few months ago, the mule and horse market in Xiaochang's Little Chang'an was forcibly banned by Yang Hao, and it became popular immediately. The government in Linzhou turned a blind eye to this kind of business of buying and selling human flesh. As long as the government can receive taxes and officials can get red envelopes, who cares whether the population or animals are sold in the market?

A fat man with a businessman looked back with his hands on his back, walking leisurely, looking down on the world with aura. Behind him was a shaking black and thin servant. Hundreds of women from the dala or tribe and Xinlin clan were shivering in the cold wind. Originally, Uighur women were wearing long robes and silk scarves. But in order to attract buyers, human traffickers forced them to take off their headscarf and remove them so that the buyers could see their face shape, skin color and figure. Buyers looked at their teeth and distinguished their skin color as if they were selected animals, and let the women walk and jump, so that they could decide whether they could buy it.

In order to sell the goods as soon as possible and earn commissions, the leaders in red dresses were all suffocated and wanted to call the 80-year-old Wu Yanniao as the 18-year-old Xi Shi and Diao Chan.

"What kind of thing do you want, sir."

Leading the lead Xiao Hei is one of the best gold medals here. In this industry, you need not only to be smart and polite, but more importantly, you can find good customers. Only high-quality customers can bring generous profits. Seeing that the fat businessman is dressed in average but has extraordinary temperament, Xiao Hei feels that his opportunity has come.

"Ah, just take a look." The fat businessman said perfunctorily, and his eyes slid from Xiao Hei's body.

"What a big tone." Xiao Hei was secretly happy in his heart and hurriedly chased after him, "Don't these guys fall into the eyes of the gentleman?"

The fat businessman stopped hearing this, and the servant behind him almost hit him because he lowered his head and followed him too tightly. Seeing that he was standing, Xiao Hei sneered in his heart: No matter you are the king of heaven, I can't escape from my palm tonight.

"Do you have a good way?" the fat businessman asked calmly, but a trace of expectation flashed across his eyes.

"Please talk here, sir." Xiao Hei concluded that this was definitely the high-quality customer he was looking for.

The prosperity of Mule and Horse Market has driven the exhibition of service industries in the surrounding areas, including wine shops, tea houses, inns and bathhouses. Xiao Hei led the fat businessman to a tea house. When the shopkeeper saw that he was an acquaintance, he led the three of them to a elegant seat without hesitation.

"I heard that sir has a Fengzhou accent?" Xiao Hei looked at him with a hint of alertness when he asked.

"I am from Luoyang, and I have been doing business in Fengzhou for many years, and I have changed my words." The fat businessman said these words in Luoyang accent, with a very authentic accent, and Xiao Hei looked no longer suspicious.

"Brother brought me here, but are there any good people?" The fat businessman directly entered the topic. This is very consistent with the identity of a successful businessman.

"Ah, I saw that the teacher didn't find a suitable one all night, so I knew that the teacher had a great taste." Xiao Hei gave him a high hat before turning to the topic, but then changed the subject, "Mr. You should know that there is no good goods on the road, and good goods are not big. The women outside were sold to Fengzhou Laojun for their wives and gave birth to children. They were crude, and good women don't have to show up in public."

The rich businessman smiled knowingly, as if he had found a soulmate. So he expressed his thoughts: "I want a family background, gentleness and meticulousness, and can recognize a few words, and know the cold and heat. If I can dance, it would be even better to play the piano or something."

"Sir, it's really good to taste." Xiao Hei praised with his thumb, "To be honest, the goods he wanted a few months ago were everywhere in Xiao Chang'an, but since the defeat of Youlida, the supply of goods in the mainland has been cut off. Now the goods placed in the Linzhou market are all Hunnies plundered by the border soldiers. People are cheap, but crude, and the old army barbarians have made people as good to taste as Mr.." When he said this fat businessman, he felt a little disappointed.

Xiao Hei suddenly changed the subject: "Sir, don't worry, I am the only one in Linzhou."

The rich businessman was shocked: "As long as I can accomplish this, money is not a problem."

"It's not a problem for you or me. It's just that this person's life experience is a bit special. I wonder if he dares to accept it." Xiao Hei suddenly stopped selling.

"As long as you meet her, she is the princess and princess, I dare to take the Yasha who kills and robs." The rich businessman gave a wink to the servant behind him. The servant took out ten taels of gold and put it on the table. The rule of the human flesh market is to see money first and then look at people. As for the price, it is determined by the guild. The guild also charges a certain amount of battle fee to the buyer based on the transaction price. Central judgment is the basis for the guild to survive, so there is no need to worry about them tampering with the price.

Xiao Hei smiled coldly when he looked at the ten taels of gold. Although the pricing power was not in his hands, he still knew the value of his goods.

The fat businessman was surprised and happy to see this. He took out a brocade bag from his waist, took out a ingot of gold and placed it on the table. Seeing that Xiao Hei was still motionless, he quietly put his hand into the purse. Xiao Hei held his hand and said, "It shows the sincerity of the gentleman."

After saying that, he stood up and opened the wooden door to the south of the elegant seat. Behind the wooden door was a brocade curtain. Xiao Hei clapped his hands, and the two maids opened the brocade curtain. Behind a bead curtain was a young woman wearing a Uighur saur skirt. Although her face was covered with a red veil, she still couldn't stop her peerless amazement.

"She is Muerna, and her Chinese name is Lin Meichen. She is the biological daughter of the head of the Xinlin clan in the middle of the Uighur Fort. The Xinlin clan rebelled against the court at the Yinshan Giroshi Fortress and was suppressed by the Xining army. All the tribesmen were punished as slaves. There were high-ranking officials in the Fengzhou army who wanted to take her as a concubine, but she never forgot the hatred of extermination and refused to obey. Then she turned to my hands. Although this woman was a Hu man, she knew that she was familiar with the poetry and prose of the Han family. She knew that the ladies of the family did not know. But she was a descendant of the rebellious clan. I wonder if the gentleman would dislike her?"

The wealthy businessman sighed: "The pearls fall into the dust and mud, and the light is still pity for himself. I want this person. Xiao Wu, follow the black boss to deliver it."

The wealthy businessman finally bought Muerna with twenty-three taels of gold. The wealthy businessman was named Zhang Bozhong, who was the head of the Xining Military Law Bureau. At noon the second day, Zhang Bozhong returned to Feng'an and directly brought Muerna into the interrogation room of the Investigation Bureau for questioning.

On the east side of the interrogation room is a thin wooden wall. Behind the wooden wall, all the high-rise buildings of Xining Army were present.

Zhang Bozhong: "I am Zhang Bozhong, the head of the Xining Military Law Bureau. Now I want to ask you a few questions, and you must answer them truthfully."

Muerna snorted coldly.

Zhang Bozhong: "What's your name? Where is your ancestral home? What relatives are there in your family?"

Muerna: "Muerna, her home is south of Yinshan Mountain. Her father Lin Luohu and her elder brother Lin Hanlie."

Zhang Bozhong: "Your home is south of Yinshan, why did you appear in Linzhou?"

Muerna: "I asked for it knowingly."

Zhang Bozhong: "Please answer."

Muerna: "The home was destroyed by evil thieves, and the evil thieves sold me as a slave."

Zhang Bozhong: "Who are you talking about? Do you know their origin?"

Muerna: "They are called Han people, Tang people, and Xining Army. They are a group of wolves in human skin."

Zhang Bozhong: "You said they are Xining Army, do you have any evidence?"

Muerna: "Their leader is Zhang Ren, and he lives in Yongfeng County, Fengzhou. Why don't you ask him?"

Zhang Bozhong: "Please tell me carefully how this man named Zhang Ren sold you into a slave?"

Muerna suddenly became excited and shouted at Zhang Bozhong: "Why don't you ask yourself?! Han people are all liars, scoundrels, and villains! You dress up as scammers or people who burn, kill, kill, and plunder, but you can't deceive people! You will eventually get retribution!"

Zhang Bozhong sat quietly without any rush and waited until Muerna calmed down, and he continued to ask.

"Dala or people are your enemies now, and they will also kill your tribe members. Why do you think that someone is pretending to be faked? As far as I know, your tribes have fought four battles in recent years, and each has suffered casualties. Not long ago, because your father and brother helped the court to quell the rebellion, your two families were even more incompatible..."

"You don't have to quibble! We Uighurs will never sell the grassland women to Han people as slaves." Muerna sneered and gritted her teeth, "Zhao Ba of Fengzhou and Tan Jiu of Linzhou can prove that Zhang Ren killed my tribe. Do you dare to call them to confront each other?"

Zhang Bozhong was silent when he heard this. The two people Muerna were all human traffickers. Muerna could remember their names while being sold by them. He was indeed a person with a heart. A library manager pushed the door and said something in his ear. Zhang Bozhong nodded and said to Muerna: "Right and wrong, good and evil will be rewarded. We have put so much effort into finding you to find out the truth. You can go back and think carefully and write down everything you know."

When Muerna walked to the door, she suddenly stopped and asked Zhang Bozhong coldly: "Is there any Zhang Ren among the people sitting next door?"

———

Zhang Ren did not appear in Feng'an, and he was very busy these days.

The rebellion between Brother Hao and Xinlin clan lasted only one night and was suppressed. Lin Luohu, Lin Hanlie, Brother Hao was designated as the evil behind the scenes. After Lin Hanlie failed to attack Xiaofeng Camp, he suddenly disappeared without a trace. Brother Hao hid in the stone house and refused to come out. Zhang Ren could not pry open the door, so he set a fire outside. Brother Hao was choked to death by the thick smoke. Lin Luohu led his army to attack the Cavalry Camp, but broke into the Fire Dragon Formation set up by Zhang Yannian, and suffered losses of soldiers and generals. He was also injured by the trap. On the way back, he was intercepted by the Flying Tiger Camp. In addition, when he heard the news of Lin Hanlie's entire army being destroyed, Lin Luohan drew his sword and committed suicide.

Because Zhang Hui killed the Jinbao Festival, rumors spread everywhere in the Feihu Camp and people were uneasy. Zhang Yannian had to put all his energy into the aftermath, and handed over the matter of dealing with the captives to Zhang Ren and Chen Mingyi. Zhang Ren hated Hao Ge's betrayal. Except for some strong men and young women who were sold as slaves, almost all of the other tribe members were killed. Hao Ge and others were 348 heads in front of the tombs of Tang soldiers who died in the rebellion.

All prisoners of war in Xinlin were punished as slaves. Except for the part left by each battalion, the rest flowed into the human flesh market in Linzhou through various channels. Most of the buyers were mine owners in Hedong, Shuofang and other places. Most of the money and goods obtained were unknown, and a few were confiscated to provide pensions to the widows of the fallen soldiers.

Just when Zhang Ren was proud, a head of the Feng'an Military Justice Department, a head of the Feng'an Military Law Department, arrived at his military tent. After a few greetings, head of the Zhang family showed him a warrant signed by Zhuang Yunqing. The guards who came with him put a pair of handcuffs on the stunned Zhang Ren and stuffed him into a prison car to take him to Feng'an.
