Chapter 16, Southern Xinjiang Piglets
After Yang Xuelian kowtowed, she began to tell what happened after she left the Yang family.
It turned out that after Yang Xuelian was sold to the Yao family, Yao Yuanbin was quite good to her. He arranged a courtyard specially for her. In addition to not allowing her to return to her parents' home, he was very obedient to her and even promised Yang Xuelian to send some rice to the Yang family. grain.
Yang Xuelian saw that Yao Yuanbin treated her well, so she settled in Yao's house with peace of mind.
It wasn't until yesterday that Yang Xuelian overheard a private discussion among her servants, saying that some people's parents and brothers were starving to death, but she stayed in the Yao family to enjoy happiness alone, and then she suddenly realized that Yao Yuanbin had lied to her. So that night, Yang Xuelian secretly escaped from the Yao family while her servants were unprepared.
After Yang Xuelian escaped from the Yao family, she was afraid of being caught by the Yao family, so she did not take the main road, but took the small road that no one dared to walk even during the day. Unexpectedly, when passing by a mass grave, Wei accidentally injured her foot. With the Yao family chasing her in a hurry, she had to hide in the cemetery.
After Yang Xuelian hid alone in the mass grave for a night and day, it started to rain at night. She was cold and hungry, so she walked out of the hiding place and wanted to return to Yangjiacun at night, but she was guarded at the mass grave. The two caught.
Inside the Discipline Hall.
Zhou Zhenhai, who had been listening to Xi Xingchen's story with open ears, said with some emotion: "I really can't tell that this Yang Xuelian, a girl, dares to go to such a dangerous place as a mass grave, and her courage is not inferior to that of a man."
"If a person has taken life and death lightly, where can he go?" Wen Gaoming snorted and said disdainfully.
Xi Xingchen was used to the two of them pinching each other and continued unaffected: "The two people I caught are named Yao Daqiang and Yao Agou. They are two idle men from Yao Village. They usually hang out with Yao Yuanbin and specialize in Help Yao Yuanbin do something shameful and shameful."
"Through the interrogation of Yao Daqiang and Yao Agou, in addition to asking about what Yao Yuanbin ordered them to do to Yang Xiaojin's family, we accidentally learned that the Yao family has another profitable business besides rice stores. It is precisely because of this This business made me determined to completely eradicate the Yao family."
Even after such a long time, Xi Xingchen's eyes still showed a chill.
"What business?" Yuan Xingbang asked.
"Human trafficking." Xi Xingchen took a deep breath, "Over the years, the Yao family has been secretly defrauding or buying homeless people, people with low incomes, and women and children who have no power to fight back. , steal or kidnap them, and then sell them to Nanyang."
In the defense speech designed by Xi Xingchen, human trafficking was the most important link. In order to further deepen the impression of the elders, he specifically asked: "Elders, do you know what these people who were sold to Nanyang are called? ?"
"What is it called?" Zhou Zhenhai asked.
"Southern Xinjiang piglets! It means people who are sold as piglets."
"Do you know what piglets are used for?"
"They are raised and fattened and then killed and eaten."
"These people who are sold to Nanyang, do you know what is waiting for them?"
"speak!"
Before Xi Xingchen could make another trick, Yuan Xingbang had a gloomy face and only said one word. Several other elders also had gloomy faces, and Wen Gaoming even had his hair standing on end.
Silence is sometimes not compromise or indifference; it is anger, extreme anger.
Xi Xingchen looked at the reactions of the elders and knew that the matter was already half done.
Although the Mohist school is divided into three parts, the core idea of "loving each other and benefiting each other" is consistent. All their behavioral guidelines are to love all people equally, regardless of relatives, high or low, rich or poor; they advocate that people help each other , work together for welfare, and oppose competing with each other.
The Yao family's trafficking in human beings to make money has obviously stepped on the red line of these Mo family bosses.
Now that he had successfully planted the fire of anger in the hearts of the elders, Xi Xingchen decided to pour more oil on the fire to burn it even brighter.
"Because Nanyang is separated from the southern Xinjiang mainland by the Luo Xing Sea, in order to facilitate transportation, these people from all over the country will be uniformly sent to the Piglet Hall along the coast, and then shipped to Nanyang in a unified way."
"The 'Southern Xinjiang piggies' are human beings after all, not real piglets. They have eyes to see, ears to hear, and brains to think. Naturally, they understand that once they get on the ship, they will never come back again in this life, so many of them Reluctant to get on board, and so their nightmare begins.”
“When encountering people who don’t want to get on the boat, traffickers will usually beat them with wooden sticks and clamp them with wooden boards. If you still don’t give in, they will put you in a toilet pit and cover it with feces, making the stench unbearable. Don’t take orders.”
"There are also some human traffickers who tie up 'piglets' and whip them with whips. The whips are specially made, and usually four strips are tied together. When whipped, there will be four blood marks; some even have barbs attached to the whips, so that when they are whipped When the person was pulled, a large piece of leather and flesh was torn off."
Hearing this, Zhou Zhenhai was so angry that he blew his beard: "How can these people be so heartless, so unreasonable, and so heartless towards the same kind of people! It's really unreasonable."
Surprisingly, Wen Gaoming didn't jump out to argue with Zhou Zhenhai.
"Because in the eyes of human traffickers, the 'Southern Xinjiang piggies' are not people at all, but goods! Piglets, don't think that you will be safe if you follow the traffickers' instructions and get on the boat. This is just the beginning." Xi Xingchen said lightly.
"The conditions in the cabin where piglets are transported are very poor. With so many people crowded in the cabin, eating, drinking and urination are all a problem."
"Just like eating, don't we each have a bowl and a pair of chopsticks when we eat? The boss of the Piggy Restaurant doesn't care about this. They set up a big pot in the cabin, boil something casually, and then everyone gathers around Eating while squatting in a big pot is really like feeding pigs.”
"Due to the long sailing time, the piglets eat, drink and litter in a limited enclosed space, which makes it easy for the plague to spread on the ship. The plague is very fatal to the piglets, and usually every piglet on the ship Only a little more than half of the piglets can survive to Nanyang. Therefore, when the piglets are shipped, the owner of the piggy store must overload the piglets as much as possible to ensure that the surviving piglets can still reach the limit after arriving in Nanyang. expected volumes, thereby earning substantial profits.”
Perhaps because it felt empty, Xi Xingchen added: "For example, if you can carry three hundred people on a boat, the owner of the 'Piggy' restaurant will definitely carry six hundred, because two hundred and fifty of the six hundred will die. There were more than three hundred there, and he still made a profit."
When Xi Xingchen said this string of numbers, none of the elders made a sound, because they all knew that each number represented a living life. If two hundred and fifty people were lying on the ground, the entire Discipline Hall would be in a state of confusion. No less.
Although Xi Xingchen did not explain clearly what to do with the dead people, everyone present knew that in this era of food shortage, these dead people would most likely become the rations of the "piglets".
