Chapter 244 Encountered a Human Trafficker
"Okay!" Shen Wan nodded and said with a smile, "Actually, the reason I'm not leaving for now is that I don't want to go with the Third Prince."
"That man has evil intentions. If we're not careful, he might trip us up."
When she heard the third prince, Ling Xiaoxiao curled her lips, not hiding the contempt in her eyes at all.
"How about we just leave in the middle of the night and dump him right away?" She rolled her eyes and quickly lowered her voice, "If you can't get rid of him, I'll bet on him!"
When Shen Wan heard this, all the soup in her mouth sprayed out.
Xie Mubai looked at it and carefully wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
"You're right. I think we should leave quietly." Shen Wan took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth, deliberately saying mysteriously, "Have you heard that the Zhao who was with the Third Prince has disappeared?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaoxiao seemed to understand something.
Zhao disappeared, but the third prince ignored it as if nothing had happened.
As for who the real murderer is, the answer is obvious.
"What a heartless thing." She spat and cursed viciously.
Shen Wan smiled cunningly: “Maybe he is trying to please you, so he is in a hurry to get rid of the Yingying and Yanyan around him.”
The Third Prince's thoughts were so obvious that even Ling Xiaoxiao, whose nerves were thicker than steel, noticed it.
"I don't want to be a widow!" Ling Xiaoxiao spat again and said unhappily, "Okay, then we'll set off at midnight tonight."
Shen Wan smiled and said, “Then I’ll buy a carriage later.”
"Ranqiu has a stomachache and she's afraid she can't handle the long journey."
When Ling Xiaoxiao heard this, her eyes lit up immediately: "Then I'll go with you to buy it, and I'll catch the bus after you buy it!"
"You don't know, I'm an expert at choosing horses!"
Xie Mubai's face darkened.
This damn girl, we've only known each other for a few days, but she already acts like she can't wait to stick to Shen Wan all the time.
Isn’t it just buying a carriage?
It is enough to leave this matter to Black Hawk, there is no need for this girl.
It seems that Black Hawk hates her for a reason.
"I'll leave the packing to you. We'll be back soon." Seeing Ling Xiaoxiao was in high spirits, Shen Wan smiled and patted the villain's head, "Be good, I'll buy you some candy when I come back.
He didn't want to agree at first, but after being persuaded a few times, Xie Mubai agreed.
After dinner, Shen Wan and Ling Xiaoxiao happily went to the street to watch the carriages.
This small county town is extremely poor and there are not many people selling horses.
Looking at those skinny horses, Shen Wan almost shed a tear of sympathy for them.
"Don't you feed them normally?" She looked at the horse dealers with a puzzled look on her face.
The horse dealer laughed and said, "Things are tough these days. It's good enough to have enough to eat."
"I'm not exaggerating, these horses have worked very hard, at least they are still alive now."
They originally wanted to buy one, but looking at these sick horses that were as weak as willows in the wind, Chen Wan and Ling Xiaoxiao were really worried about them.
Although it is not far from here to Miaojiang, the road is not easy to travel.
With their small bodies, they would probably have died heroically before they even reached the destination.
At this time, a dirty little boy came over.
He blinked his big watery eyes and asked in a baby voice, "I have a nice horse at home. Do you two sisters want one?"
"What good horse can you have?" Ling Xiaoxiao glanced at him and said weakly, "Little brother, you should go play somewhere else. I'm busy with something important."
"I'm talking about serious matters!" the little boy said seriously. "That horse is excellent, but not many people can afford it. If you two sisters are worried about the high price, then forget it."
When Ling Xiaoxiao heard this, she immediately became interested.
"Sister, why don't we go and take a look?" she said quickly.
Shen Wan stared at the little boy for a while, then reluctantly nodded: "Okay, then let's go and take a look."
After hearing this, a strange light flashed in the little boy's eyes.
So the two of them followed the little boy forward.
They walked a long way, and the place became more and more remote.
Shen Wan noticed something strange and immediately took out the silver needle from the space.
"Be careful." She lowered her voice and warned, "Let's see what he's going to do."
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaoxiao came back to her senses.
She quickly took out a long whip from her waist, and the insects in the bag began to stir.
After an unknown amount of time, the little boy brought them to a dilapidated house.
As soon as I stepped over the threshold, the wooden door behind me suddenly closed.
The little boy glanced at them, suddenly rushed into a room and quickly closed the door.
“Little brother, stop being naughty. Where is the good horse you mentioned?” Shen Wan took a deep breath and asked deliberately.
The yard was quiet, as quiet as death.
Shen Wan and Ling Xiaoxiao looked at each other, then slowly walked forward.
When I opened the door, I was greeted by a sweet fragrance.
Shen Wan subconsciously held her breath.
She pulled Ling Xiaoxiao, and they both pretended to be hit and fell to the ground.
After a while, I heard the sound of footsteps.
Shen Wan quietly opened her eyes and saw two men, one tall and one short, walking out from behind the screen.
When she saw the two men, she was startled.
These two people are actually the pair of scammers we met in town!
"You know what, these two women are really good-looking." The young man smacked his lips and praised them repeatedly, "They will definitely sell for a good price."
"You have a nice thought." The strong man sneered, "Only young girls are valuable, while withered flowers and withered willows are worthless."
"You've seen it all along the way. The most beautiful girl has been sleeping with her man all the time. She must have been played with by now."
Did they encounter a criminal?
Shen Wan thought secretly.
"Don't look at them anymore." The strong man said coldly, "Lock them up first and wait for Aunt Wei to come over and inspect the goods."
“Then can we play for a bit before Aunt Wei comes?” Looking at Shen Wan’s pretty face, the young man couldn’t help but swallow his saliva, “I fell in love with this girl when I was in town.”
When the strong man heard this, he slapped him in the face and said, "Are you looking for death?"
"Aunt Wei said that if you want to play with women, go to the brothel. Don't touch any of the women here!"
The boy covered his face and said unhappily, "I was just talking."
"Stop talking nonsense and lock them up quickly!" The strong man carried Ling Xiaoxiao and walked straight forward.
The young man glanced at Shen Wan, then picked her up.
Soon, the two were locked up in a dungeon.
Shen Wan quietly opened her eyes.
The light here was extremely dim, and the humid air was filled with a disgusting stench.
With the dim light, she could clearly see that there were still a dozen girls imprisoned in the dungeon.
She didn't say anything, but just secretly winked at Ling Xiaoxiao.
The sky gradually darkened.
Xie Mubai lingered at the door of the inn for a long time, but Shen Wan never came back.
"Young Master, the food is ready. When will the young lady be back?" Ran Qiu walked forward and asked respectfully.
Xie Mubai didn't answer, just shook his head.
Suddenly, Black Hawk came hurriedly over.
He leaned over to Xie Mubai and whispered a few words.
Xie Mubai's expression suddenly changed when he heard this: "When did this happen?"
"About an hour ago." Black Hawk said quickly.
Xie Mubai's face was gloomy, and two sharp rays of light shot out from his eyes like daggers: "Pass the order down, find the young lady immediately."
"Anyone who obstructs me will be killed without mercy!"
