Chapter 103 Captives can be sold

Another day later, Wei Yuancheng handled all the relevant matters of Tie Huali escorting the capital.

Tie Huali and his captured men, except for those who were ill and unable to send them to the capital, had only more than one hundred prisoners left. The thieves caught in Guazhou were not escorted to Beijing. The weight of these people was not enough and they were all imprisoned in the hard labor camp in Linzhou. As long as the Ministry of Justice approved the approval documents, the heads that should be chopped down and the sentences would be judged as they should be judged.

Wei Yuancheng went to the prison to inspect Tie Huali and the prisoners, and was quite moved that he had not protected them well. While parading, he was thrown into stone by the people and injured a group of people. Otherwise, he could have been taken to Beijing for more, which would be good in terms of face.

Wu Youren comforted him that there were almost one hundred people. Even if it was a prisoner offering ceremony, one hundred people would be enough to see it. The journey of escorting these people into Beijing was long and needed a lot of soldiers and generals. And if there were prisoners running away or a few more died on the way, that would be a shameful thing!

Wei Yuancheng naturally understood the truth, so he took strong prisoners, not afraid of them escaping. These sudden people could go wherever they could go in the territory of the Dafang Kingdom, just worried that they would die and kill prisoners were ominous. This is the consensus among officials. In fact, it doesn’t matter how much they die, but it cannot be made public. Otherwise, those so-called most conscientious people, the censors who rely on suing others to make a living, should get tired of it again, which is particularly annoying!

At the time of handover, Wei Yuancheng called Yang Ze alone and said, "These prisoners are almost the same in number, and they are afraid of dying halfway. You don't know that the censors in the court have a very biting habit. You brought a roster to Beijing. If you die a few of them when you go to the Ministry of Justice to hand over the prisoners, it would be awesome. You have to be picky of the criminals' bones and say you are abused. You are afraid of trouble at that time, so you have to be careful not to die too many criminals on the way."

After pausing, he whispered: "I have prepared ten more prisoners for you. If there are no names on the roster, even if there are deaths on the road, there will be no more than ten, otherwise it will be difficult to explain."

Yang Ze thought to himself: "I am a doctor, how can I let the prisoners die? Even if I use medicine to hang their lives, I have to hang these prisoners to the capital. How could they die halfway through it?"

But I can only think about this in my heart, but I can't say it. Wei Yuancheng has good intentions and prepares more prisoners for him.

Yang Ze thought for a while and said, "Marty, what if the prisoners were not dead to ten? When they arrived in the capital, they would be bitten by the censor if there were fewer people, but if there were more people, they would probably have to be bitten, right? Anyway, they wanted to bite people. They would always find a reason to bite, right?"

Wei Yuancheng said with a sneer and said, "If there are fewer people, it will be very troublesome. But if there are too many people, this will be very easy to deal with. If you kill and buried halfway, you will throw it into the market and sell it. Then you can do whatever you want. If you can sell it smoothly, you can get a few more money and you can be more generous in the capital!"

They were whispering. Wu Youren heard this and didn't want to say anything, but seeing Yang Ze's face was embarrassed, thinking that he was afraid that these fierce prisoners would not be easy to sell, so he said kindly: "General Yang, you are not familiar with the people in Beijing, so you are worried. In fact, don't look at these guys as long as they are thrown into the people, there will be even more fierce human traffickers to repair them and ensure that they are honest. I know a few people, all of them are masters, so you don't have to worry, you're afraid that these prisoners can't be sold, just go to Beijing to see me!"

Yang Ze was stunned. He really didn't know what to say. He had never thought about selling prisoners. As a military general, Wei Yuancheng's job was to kill and set fire. It was still normal not to treat prisoners as humans. But Wu Youren, who was determined to become prime minister, was also familiar with the way of buying and selling prisoners. This was so much. As the central sect of Fengge, didn't he hate these things the most?

Nowadays, the people of the Dafang Empire have to be divided into three levels, including officials, good families, and lowly families. Even if the people of their own country have the level of slaves, it is normal for them to be sold as slaves. Even if these prisoners are not allowed to be slaves, Wei Yuancheng and Wu Youren can't think of what else they can be!

Go to the countryside and follow the customs. Don’t be pretentious. That’s the patent of bitches. Yang Ze doesn’t want to be a bitches, so he naturally can’t be pretentious. He nodded immediately and said, “Thank you for your thoughts on the young general, thank you for your help. I hope you will die less on the way. Those living prisoners and young generals can sell more when they arrive in Beijing, and you can live in a big store.”

Wu Youren laughed and said, "I'm joking again. You want to live in an inn, how could you stay in a hotel!"

Yang Ze smiled and said that he didn't understand the rules and always made jokes. After entering Beijing, he had to ask Lord Wu to take care of him. Wu Youren agreed happily. He had a hobby of taking care of people, especially he loved taking care of young upstarts like Yang Ze, so he agreed so happily.

This time, for the soldiers and generals of Ningbeidao, it was almost like public travel. Everyone was rushing to go there. It was just escorting prisoners, not sending troops to fight. The soldiers and generals couldn't do anything else. Isn't it? This is too simple, there is no technical content at all, and it can be done by a soldier. So, the soldiers and generals of Ningbeidao flocked up and strongly demanded that they could escort prisoners into the capital, and by the way, they would go to see the prosperity of the capital.

Originally, the number of people escorted prisoners was enough, but in fact, it was all too many. It was a waste of troops to look at two prisoners by one soldier. However, at the strong request of the generals, Wei Yuancheng also took this opportunity to send favors, which was to give the generals some benefits, so he raised the number to one hundred. This was equivalent to one soldier escorting the other prisoners.

However, as soon as the hole is opened, it will become bigger and bigger. Those small soldiers and generals who have a way to work in the army, who have a way to do things, immediately go to the back door and want to follow them. This makes Wei Yuancheng very embarrassed. No one agrees to such a thing, and if they agree, they cannot pull anyone down. Otherwise, they will show their relatives and distantness, which will hurt the hearts of the soldiers and generals. Helplessly, they have to increase the number of soldiers and generals to 200, but they still cannot satisfy the enthusiasm of the soldiers and generals. They have to expand the hole and increase the number of soldiers and generals to 400, which is what satisfy the enthusiasm of the soldiers and generals.

Four hundred cavalry, according to the military system, is a battalion. Not to mention escorting more than one hundred prisoners, even if they send troops to the grassland, it is enough to show off their power outside the camps of the small tribe. Such troops will be able to be ashamed of face everywhere, and even be inspected by the Queen.

Another day later, everything was ready. Yang Ze went to the Marquis' Mansion, gathered all the people, and set out in the square in front of the mansion.

Yang Ze looked at the army in front of him and shouted in his heart. The soldiers and generals in Ningbeidao were indeed fierce. Not only were they tall, but they also had distinct armor and had tall horses. Each general carried a bow and arrow and a sabre, and the long weapons in his hands were all kinds of. Some generals carried giant axes, some generals held spears, while others held maces, and even powerful soldiers and generals held giant hammers as big as pumpkins. Everyone had hideous faces and looked quite creepy.

Yang Ze saw Fu Bingrong and Tan Zhengwen in the team. Tan Zhengwen was fine. He had a short beard and had a blue face. He looked like a military general, but Fu Bingrong was just awkward. Although he was carrying a long bow on his back and had several bags of feather arrows on his back, he looked too handsome and had no beard. Among a group of stubborn soldiers, he actually looked like Mulan, giving people the meaning of being a female general, which was quite inconsistent.

Yang Ze turned around and saw that there was only Mu Gen beside him, and Mu Gen was looking around. He said, "Zhao Chenglin, what are you looking at?"

Mu Gen was stunned. His name was Zhao Chenglin, but no one ever called him Daming. He was called his nickname. Mu Gen. His real name was too long, and even he was a little confused. Mu Gen was confused for a moment, and then said, "Master, are you talking to me? Why are you calling my Daming?"

"You are a little man now. If you call you Mu Gen, you will seem unsanctuary. What are you looking at?" Yang Ze asked again.

Mu Gen pointed to the wooden cage van in front and said, "Isn't that Tie Huali? Why are you still tied up? Didn't you say you're generous to submit to us?" After a pause, he said, "Master, you should call me Mu Gen. I'm not used to the name Zhao Chenglin, and I always feel that I'm not calling me!"

Yang Ze smiled and said, "Why, I almost forgot what I called me! Well, that's all I can call you Mu Gen in the future!" He pointed to Tie Huali and whispered, "That's the way, in front of the common people, I can only tie him up and put it in a cage, and wait for us to leave the city and let him come out."

Mu Gen said oh, then didn't ask anything else, and began to look around again, adding movements, waved frequently to the people watching from afar, to show that he was now a character.

With a sound of cannons, Wei Yuancheng drove his horse to the square. The soldiers immediately cheered, and then the people shouted. Wei Yuancheng waved his horse whip and said a few words about how to be loyal to the queen and how to protect the family and the people. After that, he personally led the brigade. He walked in the front, and Yang Ze and Wu Youren followed him, accompanying him left and right.

On the streets where I left the city, countless people were watching the fun. But this time, everyone just cheered, but no one threw stones. Tiehuali and his men escaped the attack of Shiyu.

After a while, after leaving the city gate, Yang Ze saw his parents. Yang Baiqiu and Zhang went out early, standing under a big willow tree outside the city gate, waiting to send their son to Beijing. The old couple were wearing the most exquisite clothes and standing under the tree. Zhang was holding a handkerchief in their hands. When they saw Yang Ze in the team, Zhang couldn't bear it and wiped his tears with the handkerchief.

This morning, he said goodbye at home, but Yang Ze saw his parents standing under a tree. Although he could not pass in the team, he still waved to his parents. He didn't know when he would see him again. Maybe it would take a year or even longer. The mother was worried about her son. In fact, as a son, he doesn't miss his parents!
