"Master, are we going to Jinhu County for a walk?" Qiniang asked as she looked at some guests coming out of the building and walking to the pier.
"Since I'm here as an official, I have to get familiar with some things. Jinhu County is closest to Dithief City, so I naturally want to go take a look!" Lin Haoming said.
"Then I'll go call Yu'er. That girl must be so suffocated!" Qiniang said with a smile.
Walking onto the pier, in addition to Lin Haoming and the three girls, Liu Kai and Zhuang Liang also followed, but Yao Dong and his wife did not follow.
Because of the dense river network in Kan County, many cities are built along the river, and some are even built along both sides of the river. Some large docks are the most prosperous places in the city, as is the case in Jinhu County.
The river that crosses Jinhu County and the county seat is called Shuangfeng River. This river runs through almost half of Kan County and finally flows into Tongtian River, which is a major tributary of Tongtian River.
The Dragon Turtle Lin Haoming rode set out from Tianxian Mansion. When the Shuangfeng River was in Tianxian Mansion, the water surface was three thousand feet wide. But after more than half a year along the way, Shuangfeng River is now six to seven thousand feet wide.
It was wide, and this was just a tributary of the Tongtian River. Lin Haoming really couldn't imagine how wide the Tongtian River, which divided one of the four continents, was.
Because Jinhu County is close to Dithi City, there are quite a lot of dragon turtles parked at the pier. Standing on the pier and looking at the pier, I found that there are at least a dozen dragon turtles over 500 feet tall, and the largest one is as tall as one.
One thousand two to three hundred feet, and the dragon turtle's back was filled with all kinds of goods, most of which were going to use the Shuangfeng River to enter the Tongtian River, and then go to Nanzhou for business.
Seeing such a situation, and then imagine that when I met Jin Wangting, the master of Tianxian Mansion, he mentioned that the people of Dithief City were tough and tough and relatively poor, which made me feel a little strange. Although I knew a little about Dithief City, I knew that
There are not many spiritual fields, and they are somewhat barren, but how could such a prosperous business and trade become a poor place? Lin Haoming vaguely felt that Gao Fangfang had deliberately caused a lot of trouble for him.
After getting on the dock, Lin Haoming first asked where the city was. Because the Shuangfeng River divided Jinhu County into two parts, there were Beifang City and the South City. The group was at the dock on the north bank, so naturally they could only go to Beifang City.
Because Fangshi is not far from the pier, the group entered Fangshi within half an hour of leisurely walking.
Although one city is divided into two cities, the cities in Jinhu County are no worse than the counties and cities in the counties under Lin Haoming's Tianman Prefecture Dithief City in Kun County, and here, you can obviously see some southern cities.
There are even some shops run by Nanzhou merchants, which sell some Nanzhou-specific items.
Just as Lin Haoming and others were walking, there was suddenly a commotion in front of them, and then they saw a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, running towards this side with all her strength, but the girl was obviously only focused on running, and she bumped into someone for a while.
, and after the girl bumped into a load-carrying person, she staggered. She couldn't control it, so she rushed forward several steps and rushed towards Qiniang.
Seeing that the girl was about to fall, Qiniang couldn't bear it for a moment and stretched out her hand to help her, which prevented the girl from falling.
Before Qiniang could ask the girl why she was in such a hurry, a big man rushed over and was about to grab the girl.
Naturally, Jia Qiniang couldn't let the big man snatch the person away from her. She subconsciously stretched out her hand and pinched the other person's wrist, causing the other person to scream in pain.
"Madam, please stop. The child in your arms escaped from our guild, and we have a deed of selling her body!" At this moment, two more men ran over, and one of them, a tall and thin man, had a cultivation level.
In the Dao Fei Realm, his status is obviously much higher, and he is quite discerning. When he saw this group of people, the man at the head was calm and calm, and the woman beside him was even more charming. He immediately understood that there was definitely someone coming from the other party.
I don't dare to quarrel with others, so I can only talk pleasantly.
The buying and selling of human beings is not considered against the laws of heaven in the heavenly realm. Of course, it must be legal. Since the other party can produce the deed of betrayal, it is natural that the other party is not at fault. It is reasonable for the girl to escape and be caught.
At this moment, the girl suddenly knelt down and said to Jia Qiniang: "Madam, help me, my parents sold me because they were short of food, but they agreed that I would only be sold to wealthy families."
I was a maid, but when they saw how beautiful I was, they actually wanted to sell me into a brothel. I just escaped and asked my wife to save me. I can do everything and I don’t need to pay for it!”
The girl was talking and kowtowing. After just a few times, her forehead was already bruised and swollen, and the tears in her eyes were full of grievances.
"Get up!" Qiniang couldn't help but feel a little soft when she saw the girl like this, and reached out to help her up.
But the girl looked at Qiniang and still shouted: "Madam, please, save me, otherwise I will never do that dirty thing until I die!"
"Madam, don't listen to this little girl's nonsense. She was not sold by any parents at all, but we bought it from other channels. She has already escaped once on the road, and this is the second time!"
The man defended himself.
"Where is this child's bond of sale?" Qiniang asked directly without handing over the child.
When the other party heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Of course there is a contract of sale, and it is definitely not fake, but it is not on us now!"
"We will have dinner in the restaurant in front. This time is enough for you to get the deed of sale. Since they are all going to be sold, I will buy the child!" Qiniang responded.
"This..." When the tall and thin man heard this, he immediately hesitated.
At this moment, Yu'er also looked at the pity for the girl, so she said: "Do you have no contract at all? If you really don't, don't blame us, we will arrest you and see the officials!"
"Of course there is, of course there is, but this girl has indeed made a reservation with someone else, and the other party has paid a deposit. If we don't hand her over to the other party, it means we have broken the promise!" the tall and thin man explained in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
"What will happen if there is a breach of contract?" Qiniang asked.
"Then you need to pay double the amount! This is absolutely true. I didn't deliberately deceive you, madam!" the tall and thin man swore.
Qiniang saw that the tall and thin man did not look like he was lying, so she asked: "Then how much is she worth?"
"Five time crystals, the other party has already given a deposit for one time crystal!" The tall and thin man stretched out a palm and gestured.
"Here is a sun crystal, even if you pay double the compensation, it will be enough for you! I still say the same thing, I am eating in the restaurant in front, and I have to see her bond of sale within an hour, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" Qiniang
After saying that, he took the girl and walked towards the restaurant in front, leaving the three men chasing the girl, staring at each other.
