Hu Da was speechless by Qiao Zhao's question. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Buying and selling women, but it was a girl who asked questions, and he was afraid that if he said it, this aunt would immediately order someone to throw him into the sea to feed the fish.

"Our patience is limited." Qiao Zhao reminded lightly.

Catching up with the girl's calm eyes, Hu's big scalp was numb.

He knew that this aunt would definitely do what she said.

That's it, not to mention that it will definitely be thrown into the sea to feed the fish, and if you confess, maybe there is still a glimmer of life, so let's be honest.

"The women...... Some of them we robbed, and some of them—"

"Throw you out of the window again!" Yang Houcheng frightened.

Hu Da's heart trembled, his eyes closed and said, "Some are bought!" ”

"Bought? Where to buy from? Qiao Zhao asked again.

Hu Da rolled his eyes, glanced at everyone, and asked, "You're not from here, are you?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Ji Chan said impatiently.

"I, I'm just afraid—"

Chi Can interrupted him and sneered, "You may be fed fish at any time, what are you afraid of?" Let's make it clear, if we're happy, maybe we'll save you a dog's life. ”

Hu's eyes lit up: "You really don't kill me?" ”

Yang Houcheng slapped a dagger in front of Hu Da: "If you are verbose, you will be killed." ”

"Okay, okay, I said, I'll say it. The women we usually get are mainly captive, and if we don't have enough people, we will buy a few from a place called Liu Erqiao in Whitefish Town to make up the numbers. ”

"Liu Erqiao in Whitefish Town? Where did he get so many young women? Qiao Zhao asked.

Hu Dale said: "Why not, Liu Erqiao is just a rich man in Baiyu Town on the surface, but in fact, he is behind the government." The official lord regularly asked those towns to hand over young women, and some of them were used to deal with the widows, what should be done with the excess? Is it difficult to return it? ”

Speaking of this, Hu Da's face flashed with cruelty, and he sneered: "How can those officials and masters eat into their mouths to spit out?" So I found some people like Liu Erqiao to stand on the bright side and sell these young women, so as to make some money, right? ”

Hu Da's words made everyone's hearts chill, and their anger rose straight up.

"The government here is so evil?" Yang Houcheng pressed his hands together and made a gurgling sound.

Chi Can's thin lips were pursed, and his lazy expression gradually turned cold.

Hu Da smiled: "All the strong men are really from other places. What is it for the officials to sell a few young women, as long as there is money to make, they can't do anything? Do you think that I, Hu Dasheng, was born to do this immoral business? No, in the early years, we were also a serious family, specializing in raising silkworms and selling silk, but the way of the world has changed, and people are not allowed to live honestly. ”

"How?" Shao Mingyuan asked calmly.

Hu Da glanced at Shao Mingyuan.

He had already quietly noticed this taciturn young man, and judging from his years of experience in killing people and setting fires, among these people, except for the girl, it should be this young man who can really call the shots.

"We can't help it, what we have worked so hard to toss, those maritime merchants are not willing to spend money to buy it, let alone the high price, the low price is not willing to be paid, how good it is to grab it directly, there is no profit!"

"Does the government care?" Yang Houcheng frowned and asked.

Hu Da sneered: "What's the matter? It was the government that supported those maritime merchants, and the maritime merchants stole our goods and made money, and the official took the lion's share. Do you really think that there are so many pirates along the southern coast? It's not like that, many of the Japanese are actually those maritime merchants in the early years! ”

"Is this true?" Yang Houcheng was taken aback, and couldn't help but look at Chi Can and Shao Mingyuan.

Shao Mingyuan's eyes couldn't see, and he didn't show any emotion on his face, but just listened silently.

Chi Can wondered: "The coastal chaos is so far, why is there no news to the capital?" ”

The Jinlanwei are all over the north and south of the river, is it possible that the Jinlanwei on the south coast are blind and deaf?

After listening to Chi Can's question, Hu Da did not answer.

At his level, he naturally couldn't think of this.

"In that case, those young women you got were not sold to the Japanese Kou, but to the maritime merchants?" Qiao Zhao asked.

"What kind of maritime merchants, we all call those thieves now, some of those thieves are all Daliang people, and some are Daliang people mixed with real widows, and the official master is called a widow to the outside world."

"How many women are there in this batch?"

"Ten, twelve—"

Qiao Zhaoxiu's eyebrows furrowed.

Hu Da subconsciously shook his head and blurted out: "It's not twelve, it's ten!" ”

"Why are there two less?"

Hu Zhanzhan glanced at a few people tremblingly, bowed his head and said, "Two of them are not optimistic, and they jumped into the sea and died......

Yang Houcheng raised his hand and slapped Hu Da, and said angrily: "It's you bastards who really damn it!" ”

Hu Da covered his face and begged: "The strong man is angry, we were also forced to live no longer to embark on this road." ”

Qiao Zhao glanced at Hu Da coldly and asked, "In that case, how did you end up like this?" ”

"Hacked and eaten black?" Ji Chan asked with a smile.

Hu Da hung his head and said, "In this batch of goods...... No, there is a particularly outstanding woman in this batch, so we increased the price, but I didn't expect the other party to turn his face......"

"Are you going to trade on each other's islands?" Shao Mingyuan suddenly asked.

"No, but the place of the trade is not far from the island where those people are staying."

"How many people are on the other side, and where are they staying?"

"I don't know how many people there are on the other side, but every time they trade at sea, there are twenty or thirty people on their side. Their base was on Narukaze Island, an island they had only occupied a few months earlier. ”

"Ye Luo, take the chart and let him point it."

Ye Luo quickly took out a chart and unfolded it in front of Hu Da, stretched out his hand and pointed somewhere and said, "We are probably in this position now, in which direction is that Mingfeng Island?" ”

Hu Da widened his eyes and looked at the chart for a long time, and pointed to one place uncertainly: "It may be this island, right?" I, I don't understand this. ”

The leaves fell silently.

"Chenguang, ask him for details. Shixi, Chongshan, let's go out first. ”

Shao Mingyuan took the lead in turning around and walking out of the house, and Ye Luo quietly followed.

Several people went into another room.

"Ye Luo, where did you point to your finger just now?" Shao Mingyuan asked.

Ye Luo's tone did not fluctuate in the slightest: "General Hui, the Mingfeng Island that Hu Da refers to is the island where Dr. Li settled when he was collecting medicine, and it was still an isolated island at that time. ”

"Aren't we destined to fight that gang?" Yang Houcheng shook his head, "This trip to collect medicine is really not going well, we are only such a few people, and we don't know how many people on the other side are there." ”

"Shixi, Chongshan, I have something to tell you."

Chi Can and the others looked at Shao Mingyuan together.

Shao Mingyuan wrote lightly: "I am blind. ”
