Chapter 52: You dare to hurt her?!
"Three taels at most. One tael of my smoking ban is worth a hundred taels of silver." said the shopkeeper.
"Okay, okay, as long as it's sold." Li Jiaojiao was not picky.
Shaoyao shed tears in panic, unable to believe that the master she had been loyal to for many years would sell her out like this!
"No! Girl, you can't do this to me..."
Shaoyao kowtowed while crying, her forehead bleeding. In the end, her flesh and blood were all over the place, and even the ground was soaked with blood.
However, Li Jiaojiao remained indifferent and even scolded her, "Get out!"
Shaoyao was completely desperate. Her nails dug into the ground, and there was dirt between her fingers. Her eyes were filled with resentment, grievance, and impulse. She looked at the knife in the guard's hand and wanted to pull it out.
Come out and die together with Li Jiaojiao!
But she couldn't, and she wasn't sure, so she could only be dragged away by several servants with a deathly pale face.
Just throw it down like mopping a rag.
It's particularly miserable.
When Shaoyao passed by Su Luo, Su Luo turned her back and served tea to a table of gamblers who were smoking.
The discarded pawn that Li Jiaojiao doesn't want may be used by her.
Su Luo's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of darkness flashed across her eyes.
She followed it not far away, and when she reached the innermost part, she found a storage room.
The waiter dragged Shaoyao in. There were more than a dozen women with rags gagged in their mouths and their hands and feet tied, huddling in the corner, including the unfortunate Aunt Dan.
Aunt Dan was obviously beaten after resisting. Her hair was disheveled, and her pair of gold hairpins and white jade earrings were taken away. Her ears were bleeding, which was probably caused by the earrings being pulled away.
She was trembling, and she didn't know which servant's stockings were taken off and stuffed into her mouth. She couldn't cry or shout, and tears were streaming down her face. When she saw Su Luo dressed as a waiter, she immediately moved her body in surprise.
Su Luo signaled her to be silent, but it was too late——
The waiter followed Aunt Dan's gaze and looked at Su Luo in confusion, and suddenly felt that Su Luo was a strange waiter.
Su Luo smiled awkwardly: "I'm new here, you haven't seen me before, that's normal."
The waiter rubbed his head, his expression suddenly changing. He was about to draw his sword: "We haven't hired any new servants recently!"
There was a hint of murderous intent in Su Luo's eyes, but that fierce murderous aura quickly disappeared. She had a better idea.
She pretended to be clumsy in resisting, ran over in a hurry, and anxiously untied Aunt Dan's rope, shouting, "Sister, I'm here to save you!"
Aunt Dan was stunned.
Shaoyao was also startled. When did the Crown Prince's Consort become Concubine Dan's elder sister? Why was Concubine Dan here too?
Fortunately, Shaoyao was tied up next to Aunt Dan, so Su Luo inadvertently whispered to them both at the same time: "If you want to survive and not be sold to Qing
Lou, just cooperate with me and don't act rashly."
Peony's big eyes flickered and she blinked excitedly.
After having her stockings ripped off, Aunt Dan felt nauseous and shouted, "Ah, sister, you came to save me!"
The waiter knocked Su Luo to the ground with a palm strike. Su Luo covered her injured arm and dodged inside. The waiter sneered, "So you two are sisters? You dare to come to rescue people with such poor skills? Sell them together! What a good day! Catch one and give me two."
Su Luo wanted to take the risk and see who was behind the illegal silver shop in the capital. To which young man would she sell these women?
building?
Look, how many women were sold to
building.
It was roughly estimated that there were thirteen women in this jumble, and it was unknown how often they were trafficked. If it was once a day...
Thirteen a day, that's one hundred and thirty in ten days...
Su Luo's expression became serious. She had to take care of today's matter.
Su Luo's hands and feet were tied by the waiter. When the waiter was about to take off her smelly stockings and stuff them into her mouth, Su Luo cursed, "Change it!"
"You're quite particular!" The waiter scratched his itchy feet. "My stockings are made of real silk, so I can't bear to use them to gag you."
After saying that, he picked up a handkerchief and stuffed it into Su Luo's mouth.
The next moment, another waiter came in pushing someone.
The man was wearing a light blue robe, with a handsome and gentle face. Su Luo's pupils dilated slightly. Is this serious?
Why was Wen Zixi also kidnapped?
"Business is so good today! We don't even have to search everywhere for beauties. Haven't we found another one?"
"Just now this man came to the silver shop and looked around. I thought he looked handsome and could be sold as a prostitute, but I didn't expect him to be so easy to deceive! He was tricked into coming in!"
Several waiters stared at the group of human flesh "cargo" with satisfaction and nodded:
"This batch can be sold at a good price, and we can get a lot of commission."
"This one looks really good." The waiter pointed at Wen Zixi and sighed again and again.
Suddenly, another waiter warned, "This man is dressed elegantly, don't tell me he's from some wealthy family. If you sell him the wrong item, you might get into trouble."
"No matter what kind of aristocratic family they are from, or how powerful their background is, once they enter the Joy Pavilion, as long as they are sold out, they will be lost in the sea and no one will notice."
Wen Zixi sat upright beside Su Luo. Even though he was sold and fell into such a dilapidated place, he was still elegant and gentle, with a temperament like green bamboo, pine and orchid, peaceful and calm.
She knew that Wen Zixi didn't know martial arts.
Su Luo was a little anxious, but she held herself back. She used the tip of her tongue to push the handkerchief outwards, leaving a tiny gap. She mumbled, "Why is the paper so spicy?"
Hearing this, Wen Zixi's handsome eyebrows slightly lifted, his eyes like a clear spring, without a trace of dirt: "I was caught, there is nothing I can do."
“…”Is the Master so stupid?
She remembered that the teacher was very smart.
Next moment——
Two more men were brought in.
Mo Jin, dressed in a black robe, and Qin Zhengyu, dressed in a cross-collared long gown, were also captured.
Are you...seriously?
Su Luo's eyes showed shock and confusion.
Wen Zixi's smiling face faded a little, revealing a bit of seriousness.
Obviously he was also surprised why Mo Jin appeared here.
But the Regent never follows the rules...
He behaves in a treacherous and cruel manner. He looks very strange, but nothing he does is strange.
Su Luo's mind raced. Why was Mo Jin here? Why was he here? Could it be that Mo Jin had noticed this case and was planning to investigate it himself?
That should be the case, right?
Since Mo Jin was here, she couldn't use her martial arts. She could only pretend to be weak, helpless and pitiful, and gave Mo Jin a look of aggrieved charm.
Mo Jin sneered, as if to say: Stop pretending.
Su Luo looked aggrieved, as if to say that she was not pretending.
The two exchanged glances, as if communicating in secret. The waiter immediately scolded, "Do you two know each other?"
Su Luo shook her head frantically.
"Whether you recognize me or not, I have to sell it!"
"Pull this batch of goods onto the truck!"
then……
Su Luo, Wen Zixi, Mo Jin, Shaoyao, Aunt Dan and the others were pushed out of the grocery store and walked along the tunnel.
According to this direction, Su Luo felt that it was the direction of leaving the capital.
After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, we could see how long this tunnel was. It must have taken more than a day to build. Looking at the traces of lanterns hanging on the wall and the layout of the cave, it must have taken at least two years to build.
In the past two years, I don’t know how many banned drugs have been sold and how many young girls have been abducted.
Su Luo's heart sank to the bottom, and she felt a surge of anger for no reason.
Dust often falls in the tunnel. Wen Zixi, whether intentionally or unintentionally, walks beside Su Luo, and his thin and tall body just covers her, shielding her from the dust.
Mo Jin sneered.
Su Luo: "..." She didn't say anything and walked forward quietly.
When they walked out of the cave, the sky suddenly brightened, and the stinging made Su Luo unable to open her eyes. She stopped for a moment and looked around.
"What are you looking at! Go away!" The waiter pushed Su Luo impatiently.
Su Luo was caught off guard and pushed to the ground, her palms were rubbed raw and bleeding.
Mo Jin suddenly narrowed his eyes, revealing a surge of hostility and murderous intent.
Wen Zixi's eyes seemed to contain a knife, and he frowned.
