Chapter Seventy-Six: The Bustard's Abacus

This night, Chen Yicong slept very late.

During this time, he had a hard time.

In the first half month, Chen Yicong was in a daze, and he relied on the little spirit he had left, and cooperated with the cabinet ministers on the bed to deal with various affairs in the past half month.

As the days passed through February, the pain gradually became bearable, but he still couldn't lift his left hand.

Chen Yicong hadn't taken such a long vacation for a long time, and since he was able to go to the ground, he was reluctant to lie in bed anymore.

During this time, he often sat alone in front of the desk, sometimes making excerpts, and more often reading some books.

In the upper right corner of the table, a book has been placed there - that is Bai Ling's disposition opinion, and Chen Yicong has not read it so far.

He didn't look at it, but he didn't let Lu Dou take it away.

For Sun Beiji and Zhang Shouzhong, Chen Yicong is somewhat sure in his heart that these two people should not want Bai Ling's life.

That's enough.

Bai Ling's assassination did not reveal the slightest rumor, everyone heard that the emperor contracted a cold in winter, so that the high fever did not go away, so the early dynasty for more than a month was presided over by Sun Beiji.

Hearing that the emperor was ill, many important ministers and princes looked for opportunities to visit, but the closest could only kowtow outside the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The emperor did not see anyone - this is natural, once they meet, the so-called illness will inevitably be revealed, and what kind of turmoil will arise at that time, it is really difficult to predict.

"Lu Dou," Chen Yicong suddenly spoke, "Who came to say hello today?" ”

Lu Dou hurriedly stepped forward and handed a list to Chen Yicong, who quickly swept the names on it, then sighed lightly and threw the list aside.

From his "illness" to the present, Zeng Jiuyan has not been here once.

"Your Majesty?" Lu Dou looked at Chen Yicong's somewhat depressed face, and couldn't help but shout with some concern.

Chen Yicong shook his head, "You stand down." ”

……

Early the next morning, Zeng Jiuyan woke up and found that the wine jug in his hand was gone, and there was a thick quilt on his body.

He felt a splitting headache - he should have been drinking on the terrace under the birdcage last night.

What kind of place is this......

He looked around at the arrangement and immediately understood.

This look is which flower room in the Hundred Flowers...... Looks like we spent the night here again last night.

He pounded his brain, what he did last night, he didn't remember at all.

Zeng Jiuyan stood up and got dressed alone, only to find that on the small bed nearby, his entourage was still asleep.

Sansi lay on his back, and his sleeping appearance was extremely ugly.

Zeng Jiuyan snorted and pushed the door out alone.

It is rare to be silent in the early morning, and he looks out from afar by the railing, blowing a cold wind from a high place, which makes him feel more comfortable.

It's a sunny day again, and there are no pedestrians on the paths dotted below, but you can see some men with weak feet walking out slowly.

Looking down from the terrace, these people are as small as ants.

In the distance, a few turtle paws led some girls through the alley slowly, and Zeng Jiuyan's eyes jumped back and forth in one scenery after another, and finally landed on a dozen girls.

There was one of them, and the figure was really ...... Much like Boling.

He suddenly felt a little sad.

In the past, everyone was still singing and singing on the cruise ship, but now everyone is gone.

Some people are separated by yin and yang, some people go away, and some people sit in the Jinluan Palace...... That's basically like being dead.

Zeng Jiuyan watched as the girls followed the turtle paws through the streets and alleys, and finally disappeared into the shadows of a building.

A rush of footsteps came from behind him, and when he woke up, he saw that there was no one in the house, and hurriedly ran out to find someone.

"Hey, master, you're here......" Seeing Zeng Jiuyan, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Is this the tuyere, be careful of catching a cold, or go back to the house-"

"Don't go back to the house, let's go." Zeng Jiuyan said softly.

A smile of surprise appeared on Sansi's face, "Are you willing to go home!?" ”

"Who wants to go back to the house," Zeng Jiuyan glared at him, "Go to Donglin Mountain and sweep Bai Ling's tomb." ”

……

"Where are we going?"

Bai Ling looked around at the path that was getting darker and darker, and spoke with some concern.

But the turtle paw who walked in front of him did not hear it.

He led the dozen girls through the streets and alleys, and finally came to the back door of a building, and drove the girls into the courtyard.

There were already many young girls sitting in it, and there was a lot of chattering everywhere.

After coming to Baihuaya for so long, it was the first time that Bai Ling had met so many people.

The tortoisepaw pointed to a piece of ground and told them to sit down.

Soon, the girls who lived in the tower on the other side were also brought over by Turtle Paw, and both groups were arranged to sit together.

Soon, everyone understood what this courtyard was used for today - this is a tooth shop inside Baihuaya.

The so-called tooth shop is a place of human trafficking.

Human trafficking was strictly prohibited in the Great Zhou, but slavery was not included in the category of "human beings".

Some newly acquired women, if they feel that their appearance is too inferior, or their temperament is too stupid to stay in the store, they will put them here and resell them.

Some big families will come here to buy girls or happy brides - the price here has always been very low.

The business must be bought and sold, everyone pays money with one hand and hands over with the other, and most of the girls who are bought are very happy - this means that they are out of the sea of suffering.

The girls who came out of the workshop department didn't know anything about it, and they were only startled when they looked at the scene in front of them. Everyone leaned against each other and buried their heads in their knees, afraid to meet the eyes of the buyers.

But they soon found that most of the buyers were barely close to them, and when they approached to take a look, the turtle's paws would stop them and demand their money.

You can only see it after paying the money - but you can only see it roughly, not too close.

After reading it, the turtle melon seed and the buyers walked aside, and the hands of the two were squeezed in their sleeves, not knowing what they were gesturing, and at the end, sometimes both sides shook their heads, as if they had not negotiated; Sometimes they smile and smile at each other and then nod their heads goodbye.

Bai Ling covered her face like the other girls, and looked out through her fingers.

Sure enough, today's trade ended until noon, and none of the girls in the tower were taken away.

In the afternoon, Turtlepaw took the girls to the bath for the first time, and after that, he even gave them a new set of clothes to change into.

Afterwards, Turtlepaw led them to another palatial room.

There was a huge screen in front of the room, and in front of the screen, there were also many strange girls.

But the people sitting here are obviously much better looking than the ones in the courtyard in the morning.

Some of these people were as puzzled as they were, not knowing what was going on; Others, dressed in fancy clothes, were clearly girls from the Hundred Flowers—they sat upright in the room, just staring straight ahead, not saying a word, like beautiful dolls.

After a while, the gate suddenly opened, and the turtle paw reappeared, taking everyone away.

The Bowling Sisters were back at the tower again.

It looks like I don't have to work all day today.
