After lunch, according to the previous habit, Tang Jiu would take the little flowers to wander on the street, one to beg for money and food, the second to find the gentlemen, and the third to inquire about some news by the way.

Ling'er didn't want to let the children go out to beg and steal anymore, but Tang Jiu said that this group of children was just the time to be naughty, and if they were locked up here, they would fight and make trouble all over the yard after a while; What's more, the thieves to whom Tang Jiu belonged also often monitored the little beggars, and if everyone suddenly stopped going out, they would definitely attract attention.

Ling'er is right to think about it, I heard that the little flowers can still find out the news, and I remembered that yesterday I was wandering around the city just for the news. So they asked them to inquire about the murder that had occurred at the gate of the city a few days before.

After the children left, the yard was clean at once, not to mention, there were more children and it was really noisy, from morning to night, it was nothing to be in a good mood, and it was inevitable to be upset when listening to the noise when it was in a bad mood.

Ling'er was finally able to talk to Tang Jiu calmly for a while, and asked about his thieves and Jiang Qi.

It turned out that the traffickers who arrested Tang Jiu and Jiang Qi back then had gone to Kauping County to look for their companions, but only one crazy one was found, and the other two had already been slaughtered.

They stayed in Cangping County for a long time, always trying to find the murderer of their companion, but it took more than a year to find out to no avail. Cangping was tightly managed, and there was not much oil and water to fish, so a few people planned to leave Cangping to do business in a bigger place.

Tang Jiu and Jiang Qi happened to meet by chance when they left Cangping, these thieves were already doing this, and they would definitely not let go when they saw the two lonely children. By the way, I knocked them out and took them away.

Speaking of the thief's search for a companion, Ling'er remembered that she had been caught by human traffickers not long after she first arrived in this world. In that ruined temple, she accidentally killed two. The other was frightened, and she escaped with the other two children.

Could it be that the traffickers who kidnapped Tang Jiu were the companions of those people? Calculate carefully, regardless of the time and place, the description of the characters can be matched, then nine times out of ten.

I think I was very worried at the beginning, and I didn't dare to go to the town for a long time, so I changed my men's clothes and changed my name when I went out, just because I was afraid of meeting the companions of human traffickers. Although it turned out to be okay later. Now that I think about it, this group of thieves is really looking for themselves, but fortunately, they have more eyes at the beginning.

While Ling'er was happy, she hated this group of traffickers even more. It is precisely because he has also been arrested that he knows that this group of dog thieves is inhumane, Tang Jiu has been suppressed by them for so many years, and his life must be difficult.

"That's right. Tang Jiu. Where did they get Jiang Qi? ”

Tang Jiu was a little frustrated: "They thought Jiang Qi was too honest, he couldn't learn the skills of pickpocketing, and he couldn't even ask for money to beg, and when they saw that he still had all the strength, they sent him to the mine in Lotus Mountain to mine." ”

"Mining? Is there still a mine in Lotus Mountain? ”

"Yes, I have been staying in Liancheng just to inquire about Jiang Qi's news, but after staying for so long, my little brother didn't help. The exact location of the mine has not been ascertained. ”

Ling'er thought for a while: "Those thieves are ruthless and cunning, will they transfer Jiang Qi to another place?" Or Jiang Qi has already ......"

"No, it won't. I am also afraid that they are secretly doing evil. I told them that I would see Jiang Qi once at the end of each year when I paid the account. Alas, it's already the end of October, and I'll be able to see him again in another month. ”

"Really? That's great! That...... We can find a way to take Jiang Qi away when we see him. ”

Tang Jiu didn't speak, just sat with his eyes down, as if he felt that this method was not feasible.

"Tang Jiu, isn't there any difficulty?"

"They promised me not to attack Jiang Qi, but I have to hand over two thousand taels of silver to them every month, and the price will be doubled when I see Jiang Qi at the end of the year, and I need five thousand taels to see him."

"Two thousand taels a month! Where are you going to get so much silver? ”

Tang Jiu lowered his eyes and whispered, "So we had to steal." ”

Ling'er was silent for a long time: "When will the silver be paid this month?" ”

Tang Jiu hesitated slightly, and whispered, "The day after tomorrow... At night. ”

"How much silver do you have?"

"It's only fifteen hundred taels."

It stands to reason that 1,500 taels is already a lot, but fortunately, this is Liancheng, where there are many dignitaries and nobles, and there are many valuable treasures on their bodies, so they can get so much silver.

If it is other towns, even if you are quick to see and move, you will only get one or two hundred taels a month if you are lucky, these thieves are too greedy, right?

With these silver offerings, it is enough for those thieves to eat and wear for the rest of their lives, but poor Tang Jiu and a group of young people have to risk being caught and beaten to harm others.

This group of thieves is really hateful, but unfortunately it is too close to the time of this silver payment, if we fail to eradicate it and are counterattacked, our side will only suffer more losses, and we have to think of a foolproof strategy.

"Tang Jiu, tell me carefully, what is the way to deal with me?"

Tang Jiu looked up at Ling'er: "Boss, do you want to ......?"

"Yes, I'm going to serve them in one pot, but unfortunately the time is too tight this time, I want to go with you first, explore the truth, if you have the opportunity, catch one or two of him to exchange for Jiang Qi."

Tang Jiu was stunned for a moment: "But ...... But they're different now, and they're not so easy to deal with! ”

"What's the wrong way to deal with it?"

"They...... Not only did we use the money we stole to build a large courtyard and recruit hundreds of people to protect the courtyard, but we also voluntarily returned to the name of the Hundred Flowers Society. ”

Hundred Flowers? This name is so familiar, when it came out of Cangping County, wasn't it the people of the Hundred Flowers Club who kidnapped the ten sisters? Wait, Hundred Flowers? Hundred flowers? Hundred Flower Palace? Are they in a group?

But the people caught by the Baihua Society are all girls from white families and sold to brothels in Qinglou all over the country. Isn't Baihuagong proud that women can stand up to the sky and not lose to men? Even if they really want to make money, they should catch men to sell, why would they catch a little girl who is also a woman? Are you thinking too much?

"Boss, what are you thinking?"

Ling'er spoke out her doubts, but Tang Jiu scoffed:

"Baihuagong never helps anyone, no matter men or women, as long as they are not from Baihuagong, they are one level lower than them, in their eyes, people in the world are no different from pigs and dogs, how can they tell whether they are men or women are innocent? As long as they can make money for them, they don't care what the surname of their subordinates is. ”

"You mean that the Hundred Flowers Society is under the orders of the Hundred Flowers Palace?"

"Of course." Tang Jiu replied with great affirmation, and Ling'er was shocked again, it turns out that it makes sense for people in the world to call the people of Baihua Palace a demon girl, you have your own ideas, you can be your own faction, but if you trample on the creatures in the world unscrupulously, it is no different from a monster, and Baihua Palace is very unkind!

"Tang Jiu, do you know where those thieves are? Is there a way to blend in? ”

"I know, I know, but it's not easy to get in, and it's very dangerous, boss, don't risk yourself, not to mention that even if we kill those thieves, the people of the Hundred Flowers Society will not let us go."

"Don't worry, you don't know what I'm capable of? As for the Hundred Flowers Society, since it belongs to the Hundred Flowers Palace, I have a token from Peony, can they not give Peony this face? ”

Tang Jiu lowered his eyebrows and was silent for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, as long as you say a word, boss, I will go to the soup and go to the fire, it's a big deal to break the kettle and sink the boat, and I will die with them." ”

"It's not necessary to end up together, we still have to send these children away, deal with those thieves first, and then figure out a way in the future." (To be continued......)
