Yu Fei's body stiffened, and she left Jing Yuchen's arms reluctantly.
Ni Yueshan, who was in the attic of the inn, saw Ji Hengyuan coming out and was very curious about what had happened inside.
Ji Hengyuan looked even angrier than when he entered.
A lot of people gathered outside Zuixiangju to watch the fun. When Ji Hengyuan left, the crowd also dispersed.
Ni Yueshan went downstairs and asked someone, "Who is that man? Why did he break into Zui Xiang Ju? What is he doing?"
"You are from another place, right? Master Ji doesn't know about this? This is also considered a romantic affair of Master Ji..."
After asking around, Ni Yueshan learned that there were rumors that Ji Hengyuan and Yu Fei were in a relationship, but Yu Fei didn't appreciate it.
But isn't Ji Hengyuan an adult? He should be able to support Yu Fei!
If you like her, why not just take her home and marry her?
There must be some other hidden secrets here, and Yu Fei was willing to let her go, which must be because she had some kind of deal with Jing Yuchen.
Ni Yueshan did not continue to inquire about Ji Hengyuan. She had more important things to do. She found someone to buy a horse and drove it to the dock.
At that time, human trafficking transactions took place at night, but now it is daytime and many boat operators are trying to attract customers.
Ni Yueshan got off the horse and sat down in the teahouse next to him: "Give me a cup of tea!"
"Okay!"
Soon, tea was served, and Ni Yueshan asked, "Has anyone died in the water recently?"
"...Our entire Licheng city relies on water for its livelihood. It's normal for people to die on the water!"
Ni Yueshan put down a piece of silver and asked, "May I ask if there is a young female corpse?"
"Women are mostly mending fishing nets, rarely going out on boats to fish. I've never heard of this!"
Ni Yueshan breathed a sigh of relief. "I see Licheng isn't that big, but the women at Zuixiangju are all more beautiful than the other. I wonder where these women come from?"
Ni Yueshan's questions were stranger than the last, and the waiter in the tea shop was a little skeptical. But Ni Yueshan threw another ingot of silver, and the waiter's doubts were dispelled.
He took the money with a smile and said, "Like you said, Licheng is not big. The girls from Zuixiangju must be shipped out. Otherwise, what will happen if the people who go there meet their relatives?"
"This shipping business usually takes place in the middle of the night, so if you're curious, come at midnight!"
Mingyan had said at the beginning that once a certain number of people gathered, they would be transported and traded.
So the other party will not come during this period of time.
But she wanted to make sure Mingyan and the others had escaped safely.
After nightfall, Zui Xiang Ju was brightly lit, and the laughter that could be heard from time to time caught the attention of many passers-by.
The hall might have been crowded in the past, but today there were only a few people sitting there.
A skinny middle-aged man was hugging two women on his left and right, and there were many girls around him.
Shi Zhi looked at Luo Tu with a cold expression: "Lord Luo, are you planning to book the entire place?"
"That's right, I've got all the girls for today!"
He was beaten up yesterday, and today he asked Ji Hengyuan to come and get the person back but failed. Naturally, he would not let things go peacefully and wanted to continue making trouble.
But this time he didn't use brute force like before.
But booking the entire theater seems like a sign of bad intentions?
"Lord Luo, please take it easy and don't overwhelm yourself." Shi Zhi kindly reminded him and turned to leave.
Many women poured wine to Luo Tu: "Lord Luo, drink up."
Luo Tu smiled contemptuously, "I'm going to distribute the silver to you today. Anyone who receives the silver cannot leave!"
Everyone was naturally very happy to have gotten the money first, but Luo Tu's smile became even more triumphant.
Many men walked in from outside the door, and the women present all turned pale when they saw them.
Who came in?
They were all dressed in rags, covered in dirt, and filled with stench. Who else could they be but beggars?
Shi Zhi walked into the room and said, "Master, Luo Tu brought a group of beggars here to deliberately humiliate the girls of Zui Xiang Ju!"
And no other customers came today. It was obvious that they were all driven away by Luo Tu's people!
"He's trying to force me to surrender. For the sake of these sisters, I have to hand over Yuchen. Humph, he really underestimates the girls from Zuixiangju."
"Master, is it worthwhile for you to cooperate with Yuchen like this? He is not himself..."
When talking about Yu Fei's taboo, Shi Zhi lowered his head.
Yu Fei clenched her fists tightly, "Follow me downstairs!"
Luo Tu used beggars to humiliate the people in her Zuixiangju, so she naturally couldn't just sit back and watch.
At the same time, outside the Ji Mansion, Ni Yueshan glanced at the plaque, then stepped forward and knocked on the door.
