The woman, knowing Chen Yalan's identity, stopped trying to commit suicide. She knelt on the ground and sobbed, "I'm Zhang Li. My brother-in-law told me to work on a farm to earn some money to support my family. I believed him and was very grateful to him. But who knew it was just a lie? Their real purpose was human trafficking. I never thought I would be kidnapped by my own brother-in-law."
When she talked about the sad things, the woman's sobbing turned into wailing.
After hearing this shocking news, Chen Yalan and Fu Liu looked at each other. They had never imagined that there would be such a heartless person in the world who wanted to kidnap and sell their sister-in-law.
At the same time, they could also understand why the woman wanted to commit suicide. Yes, being abducted by her own brother-in-law was such an unbelievable thing, but it actually happened.
Speaking of it, Zhang Li is also a poor person.
After Zhang Li was taken away and settled, Chen Yalan and Fu Liu were still sighing about this matter.
However, they had some idea of the purpose of their trip. At the beginning, they felt that those ministers took concubines without limit, and they did not know the identities of these concubines. In addition, a large number of women disappeared, which made them suspicious of this matter. When they heard Zhang Li talking about human trafficking, they linked the two things together.
Now they already know about human trafficking, but they still have no idea who the traffickers are or where the transactions take place.
Although the woman's brother-in-law lured her to the farm and sold her there, Chen Yalan and others also understood that this was definitely not something that the woman's brother-in-law could accomplish alone.
"I'm afraid there is a huge conspiracy behind this matter." Chen Yalan sighed and expressed her true thoughts.
Of course, Fu Liu naturally agreed with her idea.
The next day.
Not long after Chen Yalan and Fu Liu got up, an officer rushed in and said, "General Chen, the prefect sent someone to tell you that he discovered a farm that was engaged in human trafficking."
The prefect was also present at the interrogation of the woman yesterday, so he was already aware of the human trafficking. After he left yesterday, he ordered his men to keep an eye on the movements in each farm and to inform him immediately if they found any signs of human trafficking.
He didn't expect that just after he issued the order yesterday, he received a report from his subordinates today saying that they found a farm under him selling women.
After receiving this news, he remembered that Chen Yalan was also paying close attention to this matter, so he immediately asked one of his men to come over and say hello to Chen Yalan.
No matter what, Chen Yalan's identity is there, so he naturally has to give her some face.
After hearing the news, Chen Yalan immediately returned to her room, changed into men's clothes, and rushed to the farm to find out the truth of the matter.
"Sister Chen, I'll go with you." Just when Chen Yalan was ready and about to leave, Fu Liu suddenly spoke.
Chen Yalan frowned, looked at Fu Liu and said, "Fu Liu, this matter is very serious. Do you really want to go?"
She didn't think Fu Liu was a drag, but she didn't want Fu Liu to see such a dirty side of the world.
Unexpectedly, Fu Liu nodded and said stubbornly, "Sister Chen, I am also a woman. I am naturally angry about the trafficking of women in this world, so let me go with you at this time."
It can be seen that Fu Liu is very determined about this matter, so Chen Yalan can no longer refuse and takes Fu Liu with her.
Of course, if she had made up her mind not to let Fu Liu go, it was not impossible. However, she was a little worried that if she went too late and the human trafficking business was over, then her trip would be in vain. Besides, it was not too much to take Fu Liu with her, so she agreed.
The carriage was running very fast and it took more than an hour before it stopped outside a farm.
Chen Yalan walked in front, and Fu Liu walked behind her, acting like a maid.
After entering the manor, someone came to greet him. After taking a closer look, he found that Chen Yalan looked very unfamiliar.
It seems that this is the first time for someone to come here, and he is not very familiar with this matter. It seems that I can make a good profit.
As the person was thinking about this, a smile naturally appeared on her face. After all, in her eyes, Chen Yalan was just a fat sheep.
"I heard that you have some goods here, so I wanted to come and take a look. I'm not too late, am I?" Chen Yalan said this as soon as they met.
The goods refer to those women. Although human trafficking is not illegal, it must be based on voluntary transactions and must be approved by the government.
However, this village was conducting a secret transaction, which was naturally illegal, so it could not be explained too clearly and the woman could only be described as a commodity.
The person who greeted him laughed when he heard it. "No, sir, you came at the right time. You should come to us. We have a lot of goods here, but the price..."
As he said this, he rubbed his thumb and index finger together.
Chen Yalan could see what he was planning. She smiled coldly and said only four words: "Two taels per person."
After hearing this, the man immediately wilted. This sentence meant that Chen Yalan understood the ins and outs of the matter and knew the price. Her idea of making a killing from him was probably impossible to achieve.
I originally thought that this was a young man I didn't know well, and he might not be very clear about the things going on here. However, I didn't expect him to be so familiar with the place. It seemed that this was not his first time in human trafficking.
In fact, how could these people know that it was just some information sent to her by someone from Zhidi when she came here. She didn't expect that it would come in handy.
The person in charge of human trafficking is also called a waiter. Seeing that Chen Yalan was very clear about this matter, the waiter no longer thought about making a fortune.
"Sir, please sit down and have some tea. In a moment, I will bring the goods up for you to see. You can pick out some that you like and take them back." The waiter laughed and immediately asked someone to serve tea to Chen Yalan.
It seems that these human traffickers also have some tricks. When Chen Yalan came over, the waiter was not so enthusiastic and did not even serve her tea. Now that he knew she was an old hand, he asked her to sit down and served her tea, which was very attentive.
"Hmm." Chen Yalan nodded softly, and the waiter left immediately. At this time, only Chen Yalan and Fu Liu were left in the living room.
