Chapter 614 Information
Xu Yuan was indeed a little surprised to see this old friend whom he had only met once.
Because as a secret agent of the Prime Minister's Office buried among the senior officials of the Secret Reconnaissance Department, it was impossible for Huang Shiwei to be sent to the Western Desert as reinforcement.
But this surprise only lasted for a moment.
The information subconsciously integrated in his mind quickly deduced the purpose of this strong man with an awe-inspiring face.
Before the other party could speak, Xu Yuan half-closed his eyes and asked:
“Is it because something happened in the prison?”
Huang Shiwei did not answer this question immediately. He rubbed the wood grain activation formation on the counter with his rough and thick palms. He glanced at the door warily and said through a message:
“Sir, please go to the inner hall to discuss this matter.”
After saying that, his burly body turned slightly to one side, and he raised his hand to gesture towards the curtain behind the counter.
Go around the counter, lift up the curtain and enter the back hall.
Since slave selling was on the fringes of Great Yan's laws, ordinary slave selling shops were divided into two parts: a front hall for reception and a back hall for storing "goods".
After the guests have discussed relevant matters with the steward in the front hall, they will be led into the back hall for inspection.
As soon as he walked in, Xu Yuan's brows involuntarily raised slightly.
The back hall is a long and narrow corridor. In the extremely dim light, you can see what appear to be cage-like prisons on both sides, but at the moment these prisons are covered with leather blankets like shrouds.
Xu Yuan casually opened a corner of the leather blanket, and after seeing the crowded scene inside, he frowned and looked away.
Inside, he saw a pair of eyes that were filled with hatred, fear, or lack of energy.
It’s a bit like the 16th century slave ship in the movie of the previous life.
Even though some aromatherapy was sprinkled in the room, it still couldn't cover up the unpleasant stench in the air that was composed of various human secretions.
Just as he was thinking about it, the burly man leading the way handed over a square scarf and said in a light and gentle voice:
“The slave rug is soaked and soiled, sir, your hands are dirty.”
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, took it easily, and while wiping away the greasiness on his fingertips, asked softly:
“Is the environment in this city so bad?”
Huang Shiwei’s answering voice was as calm and rich as ever:
"Sir, the Tachao slaves you have seen in Dayan have been screened at all levels, and Zhenxifu City is the first transit station for selling Tachao people. After the knights enter the desert to capture the slaves, they will go to Zhenxifu They are concentrated here and sold to slave traders. The quantity is large and the quality is uneven. The environment is naturally not as good as the human market in Dayan. "
ˆ “.”
ˆ Wholesale market
Such a term flashed through his mind subconsciously. Xu Yuan lit up a ball of black flame in his hand and burned away the square towel used to wipe away the stains, and said softly:
“If you don’t see it with your own eyes, it’s hard to imagine this scene, but these people are really good at making money.”
Hearing this tone, Huang Shiwei immediately glanced sideways at Xu Yuan's expression and whispered:
“Third Young Master, there is no need to worry about this. Tarchao also treats us Dayan people in the same way.”
“Concern?”
Looking at the strong man for a moment, Xu Yuan smiled slightly and asked with a smile:
“I just sighed, why did Mr. Huang say this?”
Huang Shiwei looked away, remained silent for a while, lowered his head and said:
“Huang talks too much.”
Xu Yuan stared at the back of the strong man in front of him, shook his head, and said slowly:
"You will meet me in this slave shop. You must have something to say to me, right?"
Every action of those who are involved in the power center of Dayan has their own intentions.
Hard boots hit the ground, and their footsteps echoed in the slender corridor.
It seems that because Xu Yuan's words were too direct, Huang Shiwei was quiet for a long time before he slowly said: "The people arrested by these knights are not just targeting Tachao."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and replied with a chuckle:
"Mr. Huang, as a senior official of the Secret Investigation Department, should have the authority to deal with these people who violate laws and disciplines, right?"
Huang Shiwei glanced at the felt-covered prisons on both sides and said slowly:
“The forces involved in the slave sale are deeply rooted in Dayan. Huang is a man of few words and can only deal with some small roles on the stage.”
By the time they finished speaking, the two of them had arrived at the end of the corridor.
He opened the curtain for Xu Yuan, and the light from the inner room was cast into the dim space, illuminating the edge of his square face with Chinese characters. Huang Shiwei stared at the noble-blooded Third Young Master behind him for a moment, and then slowly lowered his head. head.
Passing by the strong man with low eyebrows, Xu Yuan glanced at him, but did not show any attitude towards what he just said.
Old Aunt Lou Jina once said that Huang Shiwei and Xu Mengxi were once the same kind of people.
What Huang Shiwei said now should be understood as his political aspirations, or ideals.
please for the people
For a moment, Xu Yuan really wanted to agree, but he still held back.
A government decree without a realistic basis will become empty talk.
The government just issued a decree, and the following immediately came up with hundreds of corresponding strategies.
The moment he walked into the inner room, the awkward atmosphere in the corridor was immediately blocked by the formation.
The layout is simple and clear, with a writing table, two chairs, and a bookshelf.
Going to one of the chairs and sitting down, Xu Yuan raised his hand and gestured to the empty chair opposite:
“Mr. Huang, let’s talk about business now.”
Slowly approached, but did not sit down. Huang Shiwei stood in front of the desk with a normal expression. He seemed not to be affected by the wall just now. After thinking about his words for a while, he said slowly:
“Young Master, you are right. The reason why Huang came to Zhenxi Mansion is indeed because of some changes in the imperial prison.”
“It seems that Qin Weishu escaped from prison and successfully obtained what they wanted?”
“Young Master knows things like a god.” Huang Shiwei cupped his hands.
Regarding this indifferent flattery, Xu Yuan waved his hand gently and asked solemnly:
"I remember that I should have informed you of Qin Weishu's information in advance."
Huang Shiwei’s tiger eyes were calm and calm, and he said:
“Back to the young master, his escape from prison was actually ordered by Lord Lou Ji.”
Xu Yuan looked slightly relaxed when he heard this:
“Is that old woman going to fish for a long time? So she caught it?”
“It’s true, and their destination is the Western Desert.”
ˆ “.”
Hearing this information, Xu Yuan thought for a moment and then asked:
“Why did Qin Weishu go to prison?”
“For a heart.”
"What?"
“For the heart of a prisoner in prison.”
Huang Shiwei took out a portrait scroll from his arms and laid it flat on the table: "By the time we found out, the heart of the second young master of the Qin family and this person had disappeared."
Xu Yuan glanced at the portrait, and then his pupils shrank suddenly, and his voice was a little uncertain:
“Is this person the former king of Tarchao?”
