Chapter 623 Disgusting City
"The Slave City is divided into four districts: east, west, south, and north. Each district has its own characteristics."
"The eastern part of the city is the Colosseum. The sellers there specialize in raising all kinds of ferocious fighting beasts and bringing them into the arena to fight for the admiration of distinguished guests from all over. If a customer takes a fancy to a particular beast and wants to collect it, they can buy it for a high price."
"To the west of the city is Guosefang, a famous den of illicit sex in Yicheng. The girls there are all stunningly beautiful, good at singing and dancing, and can serve men. Many customers who come to Yicheng go there just for the girls there, spending huge sums of money to have a moment of pleasure, hahaha."
"South of the city is the ordinary slave market. Although it's ordinary, the people selling it are not ordinary people. Most of them are prisoners captured from the battlefield. They are bought back to be domestic slaves and can also guard the house. The prices are not expensive, so it is also a place that many customers like to patronize."
The waiter is familiar with the various districts in the city and can talk about them like the back of his hand.
After introducing the three districts in the city, he laughed and said, "As for the north of the city, let's not talk about it."
The wealthy second-generation rich man walking in front paused in the middle of the stairs, turned his head and looked coldly at the waiter, "What? Do you think I can't afford the silver or the gold?"
The waiter waved his hands and explained, "Sir, please don't misunderstand me. This has nothing to do with gold or silver. I definitely don't mean that you can't afford to go to the North City. It's just that the North City is different from the other three districts. If you want to enter the North District, you don't look for gold or silver, but your status."
Bai Yu then retracted the anger in his eyes and continued to walk up. "You only need to tell me the situation in the north of the city. Whether you can get in or not is my business."
"Yes, yes, I misunderstood. You are all distinguished guests, and it is obvious that they are not ordinary people. How could they be without status? I am shortsighted."
The waiter chuckled and brought up the city's north, saying, "City's north is also a fighting ground, but the ones fighting aren't ferocious beasts, they're people.
In the struggle for power among the Xiongnu, every year some nobles would be convicted and demoted. The families of those nobles who were good-looking, had potential and were valuable would be transported here for selection.
Therefore, the slaves in the North City Arena were all children of nobles. The arena owner picked them and threw them into the arena to fight each other. The capable ones survived, while the uncapable ones died in the arena. Their bodies would be sent to the East City District to be dismembered and eaten by the wild beasts there.
The waiter suppressed his nausea, making himself sick from the story. "The slaves there aren't sold. They're only for the aristocracy to watch and enjoy. Those who can sit in the stands at the fighting arena in the north of the city are all upper-class people with status and position."
After talking about Chengbei, they just went up to the third floor. The waiter assigned rooms to several people, said he would make some warm tea for them, and then turned around and hurried downstairs.
Find a place to clear the acid in your throat first.
Tianbao let his godfather, Du Grandpa, Xiaomai Sui and Su Wu in, and after closing the door, the six of them sat around the table.
The upper room was spacious and clean. The window facing the street was half open, and the sounds of whips and scolding from the street could be clearly heard.
Several people pulled down their scarves to cover their faces, and their expressions looked grim.
Little Wheat Ear tucked his hands into his sleeves, his face gloomy. "No wonder the regulations are so lax. Compared to this place, Fengyun City can't even be called a small witch. This is the real city of sin."
"I'm not very experienced. I only heard the name of Slave City, so I initially thought this was just a big pawnshop." Su Wu rubbed his face, rubbing off the iron-blue color that appeared.
Fengyun City is fake scary, this place is really scary and fucking disgusting.
It really disgusted him.
The old man Du also had his hands in his pockets, his small body hunched over on a stool to keep warm. He didn't say a word and was unusually quiet.
Bai Xiaofeng glanced at him and happened to see the seemingly quiet old man's eyes rolling around.
Bai Xiaofeng raised the corner of his mouth and looked away calmly, "Everyone is tired after this journey. Let's have a good meal, take a shower, and have a good rest. We can talk about the rest later. Only when you have recovered your energy can you deal with the next thing."
After saying this, he caught the poisonous old man, called Su Wu and Wheat Ear, and left the room.
"Just go if you want to go. Why are you arresting me? What's the big deal about being tall?" The old man was clamped by the collar from behind and could only reach the ground by standing on tiptoe. He was so angry that he started cursing.
The room suddenly became quiet. Bai Yu stood up and walked to the window to look down.
The half-open window could not block the cold wind, the window panes were blown back and forth, and the wind blowing across my cheeks was so cold that it was biting.
From top to bottom, the scenery below can be seen farther and more clearly.
There were slaves everywhere, shackled and dirty. Not only on the streets, but also in the alleys that could be seen throughout the city.
"Those in shackles are slaves, those in ordinary clothes with calm expressions are city residents, those with ferocious faces holding knives and whips are slave yard managers, and those in splendid clothing are buyers... In Yicheng, you can tell who's who at a glance." Bai Yu turned to look at the woman still sitting at the table, the coldness in his eyes disappearing. "Tianbao, since we're here, let's walk around the city tomorrow and see just how disgusting this place is."
Tian Bao supported her chin with one hand, stared at him and nodded, "Okay."
At night.
The lights of Yicheng are brilliant at night, and the sounds of stringed instruments and shouts can be heard in the wind and snow.
The guest rooms are separated from the outside world by only a wall, yet they seem like two completely different worlds.
The guest room is quiet and peaceful, and the windows keep the wind and rain out.
Outside, no matter how bright the lights were, they could not cover up the stench of decay emanating from the darkness, which was so pungent that it was suffocating.
The hustle and bustle did not gradually dissipate until midnight, and half of the city's lights were turned off.
The inn has closed and the lights in all the occupied rooms have been turned off.
A dark shadow squeezed out from a gap in a window on the third floor and slipped away silently in the night.
"Go to your grandma's slave city! Grandpa is coming! Hehehehe!"
The wind roared between heaven and earth, snow fell, and the dark shadow's eerie laugh was covered by the wind.
Soon, there was a sudden movement from the slave yard in the south of the city, which had been quiet.
"Come here, light the lamp! Catch that daring thief for me!"
"Hurry up! He's running towards the water dungeon! Don't let him open the water dungeon!"
"Don't let him get away! You didn't even ask me what my status and position are in Yicheng, and you dared to mess with your father!"
The thief, who had already hidden himself, heard the shouting from behind and jumped to the top of the building. He gave the man who kept calling him "I" a thumbs-up and said, "You got the wrong guy, son of a bitch! I'm not your father, I'm your grandfather!"
The slave owner, who was used to being flattered, was so angry when he heard this that his face turned pale. "Kill him! No, capture him alive! Once I catch him, I'm going to put a chain around his neck and play with him like a dog!"
"With you? Are you capable of playing with dogs? Oh, grandpa was wrong, you are only capable of playing with dogs, hehe, hehe! Don't talk big, you dog, if you have the guts, arrest grandpa!" Du Buqin moved to the windward position and scattered the big stuff he had prepared long ago.
The people chasing below fell one after another.
After poisoning the slaves, the old man didn't even look at the results. He took the keys he had found and opened the iron cages and water dungeons where the slaves were imprisoned.
"I know you don't dare to run, and you can't run away, so come out and spread the word and get revenge! Grandpa guarantees that no one will be able to find the murderer tomorrow, hehehe!"
The numb slaves stared at the man who appeared inexplicably for a long time without moving.
