Chapter 1669 The Black Market's Prison
Meng Yunzheng glanced at him sideways. "Do you have the right to negotiate now? Besides, what if the person I need to save is locked up in there?"
"impossible."
How do you know it's impossible?
"I..." The bandit wasn't sure either; he was just a housekeeper.
Seeing Meng Yunzheng's expressionless face, he ultimately said nothing. He had a feeling that he was about to lose control, but his eyelids kept twitching as he led them to the left.
There are only two guards here, stationed at the entrance.
The two were lazily leaning against the side eating when they saw them come in. They raised their eyes slightly and asked, "What are you doing?"
The bandit chuckled and said in a lewd tone, "Brothers, come pick a girl to go out and have some fun."
The two men, seemingly unfazed, chuckled and said, "Alright, let's go in and take a look. We've been closed for the past few days, so these girls haven't had any customers to serve. They might be quite thirsty for customers."
Shu Yu suddenly clenched her fists, a cold glint flashing in her lowered eyes.
Meng Yunzheng frowned, slowly exhaled, and followed the bandits inside.
Unlike the bright lights outside, it was much darker here. A long road stretched out before you, with prison cells on both sides, much like the prisons in government offices where prisoners were held.
Because the bandits said they wanted to choose a girl, all three of them carried lanterns, which, together with the candles that were already placed on both sides, made the place much brighter.
The first two cells were filled with ragged people, who sat hunched over with blank stares, seemingly unable to hear or see what was happening outside.
The bandit explained in a low voice, "They were all captured and brought here to do hard labor."
No wonder they were all men, and all of them were emaciated, as if they had suffered a lot.
Further inside, the people imprisoned were different from those in the previous cells. The people in these two cells were filthy and covered in blood, but their clothes were in decent condition.
The bandits said, "They are people we kidnapped from Chenggu County."
Among these people were young gentlemen, middle-aged people, and even toddlers.
According to the information Shu Yu received, it seems that some girls have also been kidnapped, but it is unknown where they are being held or whether they are still alive.
She took a slow, deep breath, her inner turmoil growing stronger. The Second Prince and the Third Prince were truly despicable.
Meng Yunzheng gently squeezed her hand and whispered, "Calm down."
"I know." Shu Yu closed her eyes and slowly calmed down.
However, the cries and screams around them could not be blocked out; the screams and wails they had heard outside were coming from these two cells.
It appears that some of them were injured, some were beaten, and some were on the verge of death.
However, the guards at the gate didn't care, as if they didn't care whether they lived or died.
The bandits who were leading Shu Yu and the others went over and banged on the door twice. "Shut up, all of you! What are you howling about? If you make another sound, I'll send you all to feed the wild beasts."
One of the young masters couldn't hold back any longer. He rushed to the door, grabbed the wooden railing, and shouted with a bloodshot face, "Kill me! You beasts, you won't get away with this! You'll all die a horrible death!"
"Want to die? I'll drag you out right now and feed you to those wild beasts..." Before he could finish speaking, the bandit caught sight of Meng Yunzheng and the other man standing to the side out of the corner of his eye. He quickly shut up and changed the subject, saying, "You can't blame us for what happened to you. It's all because the Emperor refused to grant a general amnesty and forced us into a corner."
