Chapter 56: Exploring the Jin Family at Night
"There are more and more people...... Mu Er couldn't help but sigh when he saw people coming and going at the door of the gambling house.
"Let's go inside." Mu Ling looked at the people who came in and out, their appearances were very different, and he squinted.
The two entered the gambling house, and the situation inside surprised them.
All the tables were full of people, and the environment was surprisingly clean and tidy, but there was no noisy atmosphere of a gambling house at all, except for the sound of dice and wooden cards, the gamblers spoke very quietly, and each table did not interfere with each other.
When I saw them come in, someone immediately came to ask.
"Two, are you here to gamble?" A big man with a black face asked.
Mu Er shook his head, "We're here to redeem people!" ”
Now it was the black man's turn to be surprised, "Ransom? ”
The voice was so loud that everyone present looked sideways at them.
Mu Er nodded, "Can't you redeem people?" ”
"Yes, yes, do you have enough money for the two of you?" The black man asked with a tiger face.
"Naturally, you've brought enough, can you take us over now?" Mu Er didn't take his deterrence to heart.
"Follow me." The black man led the two of them inside.
Passing through the hallway, the black man stopped at the door of a room.
Let Mu Ling and the others wait at the door, and he went in to report.
After a long time, a middle-aged man in yellow came out with a small teapot, "This is the yellow steward, and he is in charge of things here." Heihan introduced
"Is it the two of you who want to redeem people? Ransom whom? Steward Huang squinted at Mu Er and the others, wondering if there was such a person in Yunzhou City.
"Tong Hui Tong Bo" Mu Er replied.
"20,000 gold coins, one hand to pay and one hand to people!" Steward Huang took a sip of tea.
"Isn't it 10,000 gold coins?" Mu Er was surprised.
"10,000 for one person, isn't 20,000 for two people?" Steward Huang began to get impatient.
"Then we need to meet people before we can hand over the money to you." Mu Er looked him straight in the eye.
"Come on, bring those two boys to me." Steward Huang shouted.
A moment later, several men came over with two unconscious people.
"What does that mean?" Mu Er looked at the unconscious two, his body and face were scarred.
Steward Huang made a look, and the two of them brought two buckets of water to wake up Tong Hui Tong Bo.
Tong Hui Tong Bo opened his eyes and looked at Huang Guan with a frightened face.
"Where's the money?" Steward Huang looked at the two of them meaningfully.
Mu Er took out two silver tickets from his arms, and Steward Huang looked at Mu Er with a little surprise, confirmed that it was correct, and waved his hand, and those thugs let go of Tong Bo Tong Hui.
Mu Ling and Mu Er helped one out of the gambling house.
"Master Huang, did you really let those two boys go? What if they say it? The black man was a little worried, although Tong Bo and Tong Hui were just ordinary thugs, but they had also seen some things that they shouldn't have seen in the past few days.
Steward Huang smirked, "You think I'll let them go so easily?" Don't worry, they'll be back, go, check me out where these two people came from. ”
The black man listened to the order and went out with him.
As soon as Mu Ling went out, he asked Mu Er to rent a carriage.
"You send them directly to the house, quickly, I'll go find Mu Si and them." Mu Ling looked at the appearance of Tong Bo and Tong Hui, and whispered to Mu Er: "Go and tie up the two of them, you must tie them strongly." ”
Mu Er nodded and drove away.
Mu Ling went to Changsheng Street, and Mu Si and Feng Xu loaded things into the carriage at the door of the grain store.
"Miss, why are you here?" Mu Siyi turned her head and found that Mu Ling was behind her, a little surprised.
"Have you bought it?" Mu Ling asked.
"Almost," Mu Si nodded.
"Just follow me, and I'll tell you on the way." The three got into the carriage and went out of town.
Hearing Mu Ling say that Tong Bo and Tong Hui had been rescued, Feng Xu finally had a smile on his face, but listening to Mu Ling's words later, he couldn't laugh anymore.
"Poppy? Is this thing really that powerful? Feng Xu was a little unconvinced.
"Yes, it's also called A Hibiscus here, it can be used as medicine, but the usage is different, and the effect is not the same, I suspect that the gambling house relies on this method to make money. After all, it's hard for an addicted person to resist this kind of thing. ”
In the gambling house just now, although there was nothing unusual to look at, Mu Ling still smelled a strange smell, if she guessed correctly, there should still be a lot of space under the gambling hall for those people to smoke that thing.
"What should they do with Xiaohui?" Feng Xu panicked.
"Don't worry, there is still a way to quit, but it requires everyone's cooperation, the process is painful and long for them, so they must not be allowed to go out until they are completely detoxified!" Mu Ling's words made Feng Xu feel at ease.
Feng Xu nodded and stopped talking.
Half an hour, the three of them arrived at the house, and there were almost no people around, so there was no need to worry about anyone seeing them.
Mu Ling asked Feng Xu to tell Tong Bo and Tong Hui, so that the two of them could be prepared, and she and Mu Si moved things inside.
The yard is very large and can accommodate more than 20 people, because the previous owner has just moved out and cleaned it very cleanly, so there is no need for Wu Jiuhua and them to clean up, just make the mattress directly.
Tong Hui Tong Bo also knew his situation and expressed his willingness to accept Mu Ling's proposal.
After explaining everything, Feng Xu took Mu Si and Mu Er to pick up Wu Jiuhua and them.
It was already afternoon when all the people were brought over, Wu Shan looked at Mu Ling in the courtyard, sighed, and walked towards her.
"Miss Mu, I apologize to you for my previous behavior, I thought, I thought that no one would really help us, I ......"
"Uncle Wu, don't say it, I understand, I help you for myself, so we also take what we need, right?" Mu Ling waved his hand and didn't let Wu Shan continue.
Wu Shan's eyes were red, and his old face was full of gratitude, "I, I know, Miss Mu, I will work hard." ”
Mu Ling nodded, "You can try on new clothes, there are still a lot of people waiting for you to take care of." ”
"Hey, okay, I'll go!" Wu Shan turned around and wiped the tears on his face, he was old, he thought he would never see it again in this kind of day, but he didn't expect it......
Mu Ling explained everything and went back to the city with Mu Er.
After asking Uncle Hao about some things, Mu Ling prepared to go to the Jin family tonight, because she was going with Mu Er, so she had to prepare more things in case of emergency.
In the middle of the night, the entire Yunzhou City fell into silence, and Mu Ling and Mu Er put on night clothes and quietly sneaked into the Jin family.
The Jin family is dozens of times the size of the Mu family, if it weren't for Mu Ling remembering the map, I'm afraid the two of them would have gotten lost.
The two evaded the guards and visited most of the Jin family, but they found nothing except some discordant sounds.
At this moment, a middle-aged man came out of the room and walked towards the south.
