The villain and the powerful official secretly read the diary and broke my plot every day

"Sister Jiang Jiang, when you buy a carriage in the future, I can help you drive it."

Li Pingan was sitting aside. When he heard Jiang Jiang's words, he immediately volunteered to speak.

Hearing his words, Jiang Jiang immediately smiled: "Driving a carriage is very hard. How can I bear to see you work so hard? When we have a carriage in the future, you can accompany me in the carriage and we can go for a drive around. We can also leave the capital and go to other places to see."

The territory of Qingyun Kingdom is vast. Jiang Jiang has never left the capital since she traveled through time. When she has money and time in the future, she really wants to travel around and enjoy the mountains and rivers.

"Okay, let's make it a deal."

After hearing Jiang Jiang's words, Li Ping'an sat aside and nodded vigorously.

Leaving the capital and looking around...

Li Ping'an didn't have this desire before, but now he is looking forward to it.

**

East Market.

Unlike other markets in the capital, the East Market is not very prosperous, and the shops on both sides of the street are a bit shabby, but the market streets are indeed bustling with people coming and going.

The Huang family's carriage drove leisurely into the main street of the East Market. It was Jiang Jiang's first time in the East Market. She curiously lifted the curtain of the carriage and took a few glances outside.

"There are so many people in the East Market." Jiang Jiang sighed a few times. The most common people here are traveling merchants, as well as stewards and deacons of each family. After all, there are no big restaurants or inns in the East Market, let alone singing and dancing houses. The most common things in the East Market are various brokerage firms.

Everyone who comes here has needs.

The Huang family's carriage finally stopped in front of the largest pawnshop in East City.

Zhen's pawnshop is a pawnshop in the East Market that specializes in buying and selling slaves and land. It is very powerful and has a strong background.

"This dental clinic has a strong background, but no one knows who is behind it."

Huang E'er helped Jiang Jiang out of the carriage and whispered in her ear.

Jiang Jiang nodded. Although Huang E'er did not come from a famous family, she had been with Huang An since she was a child, so she knew some inside information about the major and minor events in the capital.

"Dear gentlemen, please come in."

The clerk at the pawnshop was very enthusiastic. When he saw that Huang E'er and Jiang Jiang were female relatives, a smart little girl immediately came forward to greet them.

"Sir, do you want to buy maids and servants, or do you want to buy land? We have a group of new people here today."

The young girl in the dental shop was actively selling her products.

Huang E'er smiled faintly, took out the Five Cities Military Commission's face token from her waist, and waved it in front of the little girl: "We want some slaves, preferably with clean backgrounds and good looks."

Huang E'er spoke slowly.

The little girl was stunned for a moment when she saw the token from the Five Cities Military Commission, but upon hearing Huang E'er's words, she immediately put on a more attentive smile. "Sir, isn't this a coincidence? A group of kidnappers just arrived here today. They've brought...all top-quality goods, with all the necessary paperwork, and at reasonable prices. Would you like to take a look?"

Selling people?

Huang E'er was stunned for a moment and looked at Jiang Jiang beside her.

Jiang Jiang's face looked a little grim. The so-called kidnapping and selling of people was actually human trafficking, which was actually strictly prohibited in Qingyun Country, but...

As long as there is enough profit, there will always be people who will take risks.

"Anyone who sells people is dishonest. We don't want to be with him..." Jiang Jiang hadn't finished her words when Li Pingan, who was standing beside her, secretly tugged at Jiang Jiang's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Sister Jiang Jiang, why don't we go take a look first? I heard that most of the people who sell people to Beijing are from the ancient tribes of Southern Xinjiang and Beihai. The people over there are very pitiful."

Ancient tribes of Southern Xinjiang? North Sea?

Jiang Jiang looked at Li Ping'an and didn't expect that he knew so much.

No wonder those kidnappers dared to come to Beijing so blatantly. It turns out that the people they brought back were all illegal immigrants from abroad?

"Then... let's go take a look first."

Jiang Jiang nodded at Huang E'er, and Huang E'er immediately asked the little girl beside her to lead the way.

"Please come this way, my lord. My name is Zhen Li, and you can just call me Li'er."

Zhen Li led Jiang Jiang and the other two through the front hall of the pawnshop, passed through two corridors, and arrived at a large courtyard behind the pawnshop. There were countless young men and women here, all wearing uniform clothes. They all had pale faces and thin bodies, and their eyes were dull.

Jiang Jiang paused for a moment. It was the first time for her to see such a scene, and it had a great impact on her.

"what happened?"

Huang E'er stopped and looked at Jiang Jiang with concern. She was no longer surprised by this scene. Most of the maids and servants in the Huang Mansion were bought from pawnshops.

This was a very common thing, and it was no big deal to Huang E'er, but in Jiang Jiang's eyes, everything was so different.

The scene before her eyes reminded Jiang Jiang again and again that this world is so cruel.

This world is different from the peaceful and stable world she used to live in...

completely different.

"I'm fine, let's go."

Jiang Jiang took a deep breath, came to his senses, and continued to follow Zhen Li's footsteps.

The group continued walking forward, passed through the big yard, and came to a side yard. The yard was not big, but there was a big iron cage in the middle of the yard, with a group of ragged women locked in the cage.

Outside the cage, many people were still discussing and bargaining.

"My lord, these are the young ladies who just arrived today. They are from the ancient tribes of Southern Xinjiang. Each one is as beautiful as a flower. They have all been enslaved and will definitely not be able to escape in the capital."

Zhen Li introduced them softly. It was also the first time that Jiang Jiang saw the people from the legendary "Ancient Tribe of Southern Xinjiang". She originally thought that they would be people with exotic looks, but unexpectedly, they looked no different from the women of Qingyun Country. If there was any difference, it was that the girls from the Ancient Tribe of Southern Xinjiang had whiter skin and more gentle looks.

Jiang Jiang didn't know what they had experienced along the way. At this moment, the girls in the iron cages were all huddled together, shivering, their eyes full of fear.

In the corner of the iron cage, a young girl seemed to notice Jiang Jiang's gaze. She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang saw a scar on her right cheek, which had not yet completely scabbed over. It must have been cut not long ago.

If it weren't for this scar, she would definitely be considered a stunning beauty.

And now...

Jiang Jiang looked at the girl. The girl stared into Jiang Jiang's eyes and opened her mouth silently.

Jiang Jiang understood her lip movements——

help me.

She made no sound, but her eyes were full of desire.

Jiang Jiang's heart seemed to be tightened all of a sudden, and she had difficulty breathing.

She knew that she was insignificant in this world and could not change anything, but at this moment, she felt really uncomfortable.

"Li'er, how much are these people in total? I'll buy them all."

Finally, Jiang Jiang took a deep breath, turned to look at Zhen Li, and asked.

"Ah this..."

Zhen Li hesitated for a moment, and finally said apologetically: "Your Excellency, you want to buy them all? This...this is not something I can decide. How about you wait a moment, my Excellency, and I will ask for your instructions."

Zhen Li arranged a seat for Jiang Jiang and the others and asked them to sit down first, then she left in a hurry.

"Jiang Jiang, do you want to buy them all?"

After watching Zhen Li leave, Huang E'er looked at Jiang Jiang and said, "These people from the ancient tribes of Southern Xinjiang are not cheap, and those who sell them will not only do business with one buyer. I know that Sister Jiang Jiang, you are kind-hearted and can't bear to see others suffer, but this is the world. What can we do to change it?"

The world is like this.

We can't change anything.

Yes.

After traveling here, Jiang Jiang has always thought so.

In fact, she always thought that idealists like Gu Yanqing were a little ridiculous.

How can one man be against the world?

However, when she saw the cruelty of this world with her own eyes, her heart still felt very sad.
