Two legs can never catch up with a four-legged animal, and soon the cross-eyed creature was left far behind.
The cross-eyed man was furious: "Damn it, Liu Laotuo, if you're heartless, don't blame me for being unjust. I'm going to Anjia Village right now to warn Yang Cui's husband!"
...
In the late afternoon, at Shenshi (3-5 PM), in Gaoxin County, at Qunfang Pavilion.
Old Liu drove the carriage to the backyard of Qunfang Pavilion.
"Aunt Fang, I've brought you a great product this time."
The madam swayed over, lifted the curtain, and was immediately stunned by Yang Cui's beauty!
She immediately realized what was going on: "Old Liu, the goods are good, but she's dressed in such an extraordinary way, I dare not accept them."
"Don't worry, she's from Wan'an County, so it's not easy to trace her here. Besides, some officials want to get rid of her, so she'll be fine. She's just a village woman with no connections," Liu Laotuo said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, the madam felt relieved.
"She's quite pretty, but she looks rather old. Ten taels."
“Fang Mama, that’s not fair of you. Ten taels for looks like that? And this woman is still a virgin. It should be worth at least this much.” Old Liu held up three fingers.
"Twenty-five, it's fine if it works, otherwise forget it."
Old Liu hesitated for a moment before nodding: "No problem, but you have to keep a close eye on her, this woman is very clever."
"No matter how smart they are, they're still in my hands. If someone thinks they can get out of my hands, they're dreaming." After saying that, she winked at the people next to her, and they immediately started to pull the person down.
"Aunt Fang, she's suffering from heatstroke." The people at Qunfang Pavilion finally realized that something was wrong with Yang Cui.
Yang Cui was covered in sweat, looking as if she had been pulled out of the water.
Kang Yanfang panicked upon hearing this: "Then hurry up and bring the person out and settle them in, and go and call the doctor over!"
Immediately following was a flurry of activity.
...
By this time, Cen Xiao and his group had already left Shaping. They had found nothing in Shaping. According to the villagers in Shaping, no new faces had entered the village since yesterday!
"Could they still be in Wan'an County?" Dao Ba said. "Miss Yang is so clever, she might have already escaped from those two bastards."
Dao San: "It's also very possible that Miss Yang was taken elsewhere."
Cen Xiao frowned and said, "Under normal circumstances, kidnappers would definitely sell the 'goods' to acquaintances, rather than going through the trouble of selling them to strangers."
Thinking of this, Cen Xiao immediately made arrangements: "Officer Li, Dao San, you go to Caitang Village to find Mao Badou, Dao Ba, we'll go to Gusha Village to find Sha Afa."
According to information Cen Xiao gathered in Shaping, Mao Badou and Sha Afa also had business dealings with Liu Laotuo, who was cross-eyed.
Under normal circumstances, if it were illegal human trafficking, people would definitely try to sell it through acquaintances. Therefore, Cen Xiao turned his attention to other people who had dealings with Liu Laotuo and Doujiyan in this regard.
………
When Yang Cui woke up, it was already night. The room was brightly lit by candles and filled with fragrance.
Her head was still spinning, and she felt listless, but she remembered that Old Liu had kicked the cross-eyed man off the carriage and said he would take all twenty taels of silver for himself!
So I must be in a brothel now. That bastard sold me out!
Yang Cui was so frightened that she sat up in shock.
Leave! We must leave immediately!
Yang Cui struggled to her feet, and just as she put on her shoes, the door creaked open, and a young girl with a scar on her face walked in: "Miss, you're awake?"
Where is this?
"This is the Pavilion of Beauties."
Yang Cui was about to leave when the little maid stopped her: "Miss, Mama Fang instructed that you cannot leave this room, and you are not well yet."
As soon as she finished speaking, two imposing men appeared at the door. Yang Cui understood immediately; she was being held captive!
At this point, forcing your way in would definitely be futile!
"Are you hungry? I'll go get you something to eat." The little girl turned and went out.
Yang Cui had been hungry for a long time; the last time she ate was this morning.
Soon, the little girl came in, bringing a bowl of plain porridge and two small dishes of light side dishes.
Yang Cui didn't stand on ceremony and started eating right away. They paid money to buy her, so they must be hoping that she could create more value. Therefore, the food must be non-toxic and safe to eat.
The young girl stared intently at Yang Cui, having never encountered someone so calm before.
After eating, Yang Cui felt full and asked the little girl, "What's your name?"
The little girl was taken aback, probably not expecting Yang Cui to be so honest. She hesitated for a while before saying, "My name is Jinqiu."
"Is this a brothel?"
Jinqiu nodded, then said, "Girl, I advise you to give up the idea of running away. Fang Mama will not let you go. Don't even think about escaping. If you are caught and brought back, you will be beaten."
Yang Cui could tell that Jinqiu's words were not a threat, but a sincere piece of advice.
"How old are you?"
"Sixteen."
"Jinqiu, do you want to leave here?"
Jinqiu's eyes lit up, then dimmed again.
Seeing her expression, Yang Cui knew she wanted to leave. Yang Cui was secretly delighted and thought she would ask her to deliver a message in exchange for her redeeming her.
"Jinqiu, can you do me a favor? If you can help me, I can help you get out of prostitution," Yang Cui said in a low voice.
Jinqiu was startled and before she could answer, the door was kicked open with a bang.
A chubby man staggered in, leaned against the door, and carried a bottle of liquor in his hand; he was clearly drunk.
"Master Yang, what brings you here?" Kang Yanfang swayed her slender waist as she arrived.
"Fang...Fang Mama, a new beauty has arrived, why...why isn't she being given to me?"
Yang Cui was startled, thinking, "Would they arrange for me to entertain guests tonight?"
"Master Yang, isn't it enough that we, Peony and Winter Plum, are serving you enough?" Kang Yanfang stood up and turned around, blocking the man's view. Yang Cui immediately hid behind the screen.
Master Yang shoved Kang Yanfang aside: "No, no, don't block my way, let me see... let me see the beauty... Hmm? Where is the beauty? Where... where did she go?"
Kang Yanfang: "We have plenty of beauties here, I guarantee Mr. Yang will have a great time."
"Master Yang, do you not like Peony anymore?" Peony said in a coquettish voice, holding Master Yang's hand and swaying and rubbing against her chest.
"Hehehehe..." Master Yang let out a lewd laugh, and then Yang Cui heard the sound of footsteps leaving.
Immediately afterwards, someone rushed over to find Kang Yanfang, and Yang Cui heard Kang Yanfang instruct, "Keep an eye on her, don't let her escape!"
"yes!"
After they left, Yang Cui came out from behind the screen.
We must find a way to get out of here right away!
Yang Cui turned her gaze to Jin Qiu; this was her only chance at the moment!
But Jinqiu doesn't seem very bold. Is she willing to cooperate? Does she dare to cooperate?
