Kapitel 489: Chapter 488: The Runaway Slave_1

Qin Yi frowned but remained silent.

Uncle Liu, standing next to him, huddled over. "Sir, should we report this matter to the authorities first?"

"Let me discuss it with the madam first," Qin Yi did not give a direct answer.

Wealthy households generally show no mercy to runaway slaves.

To stop future attempts, once a runaway slave is caught, would be subjected to public ridicule and torment for several days and nights before allowing them to die a tragic death.

In this world, slaves have no human rights, and nobody feels sympathy for them.

In the eyes of people here, slaves are like domestic cats and dogs. If a cat or dog betrays or bites its master, execution is a natural consequence.

When Uncle Liu mentions going to the government office, he actually suggests fulfilling proper formalities.

Then there would be no problem if the slave is caught or killed in the future, as it would keep everyone from speaking ill of them.
