"What's that?" The little white tiger suddenly stopped as it walked. It saw a few girls in rags standing on a wooden platform from afar, and they were trembling in fear.
Around the platform were over ten wooden cages that were as tall as a person, and the cages were filled with dispirited men and women.
Ye Qingtang stopped in her tracks and followed the little white tiger's line of sight.
When she saw the girls whose hands and feet were bound by metal chains on the wooden platform, she could not help but frown.
The biggest difference between the underground black market and other places was the sale of slaves.
Regardless of whether it was in the Formidable Heavens Dynasty or the Nine Nights Dynasty, slave trading was strictly prohibited. However, this prohibition only remained on the surface. In the Nine Nights Dynasty's underground black market, slave trading was quietly carried out.
In the early years, slave trading was also completely prohibited in the Nine Nights Dynasty. However, ever since the previous Emperor fell ill and the young Emperor ascended the throne, this kind of forbidden trade was opened.
Although no one mentioned it on the surface, everyone knew that the slave trading in the Nine Nights Dynasty was actually controlled by Prime Minister Qin Long.
Currently, Qin Long was in control of the court, and the Emperor was young and ignorant. Thus, no one could stop the slave trading.
With Qin Long as their backing, these slave masters were even more fearless, and the slave trading was even more unconcealed.
On the wooden platform, there were a few shirtless strong men, holding black leather whips with barbs in their hands. They stood fiercely on both sides of the platform. Their strong bodies formed a sharp contrast with the few ragged girls.
Despair and fear were written all over the few girls' faces, and they could only shiver and stick close to each other. However, their fear became the enjoyment of the buyers below the wooden platform.
Those slave masters waved their leather whips from time to time, and the sound was loud. Amidst the shock, those girls were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They shrieked and sobbed, but their despair and fear attracted the laughter of the onlookers.
"These are all new goods that were just delivered a few days ago. I guarantee that they will not disappoint everyone." A stout man stood on the wooden platform, smiling as he looked at the crowd of buyers below. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled one of the girls over. Completely ignoring the girl's struggles and pleas, he tore apart her tattered clothes, crushed her dignity, and exposed her to the eyes of the crowd.
"Tsk tsk. You humans actually have such a hobby." Little White Tiger had also figured out what was going on. Those young girls and the people in the cages were probably sold as goods by those fellows who were also from the human race.
Ye Qingtang's face darkened.
In her previous life, when she came to the black market, her senior brothers would lead the way, and they would intentionally avoid the slave trading area. This time, Ye Qingtang witnessed the slave trading scene with her own eyes.
Amidst the laughter of the onlookers, the woman who was dragged out cried herself hoarse. However, her tears did not attract any mercy from anyone. Instead, it made the buyers eager to give it a try.
