Chapter Seventy-Eight: Losing Conscience
In the silent night, even if the sound of horses' hooves was far away, it could be heard clearly, Yan Liqiang did not follow too closely, but listened to the sound of the carriage, and hung the carriage in the alleys of Pingxi City from a distance.
The carriage seemed to be deliberately detouring, and several times, Yan Liqiang found that the carriage had gone around in two small circles, as if he wanted to see if there was anyone behind the carriage, but he never found Yan Liqiang following, this kind of sneaky behavior made the curiosity in Yan Liqiang's heart even more aroused.
After more than twenty minutes, the carriage turned into an alley behind a street and stopped at the back door of a courtyard.
Here, it is a wealthy area in Pingxi City, surrounded by mansions and gardens of large families, and the high walls of Zhumen are obviously different from other places.
The yard is very large, the two courtyards in front of it are facing the street in front, and on the other side of the street, there is a shop, from the signboard, it seems to be a high-end garment store in Pingxi City, but at this time, the garment store is also closed.
The box was darkened and dim.
Yan Liqiang, who followed the carriage here, came to the corner of the alley, looked left and right, and found that there was a family's yard next to it, but there was no light in the yard, and there was no sound of human speech, his body was vertical, one foot stepped on a wall in the alley, and one hand hooked the courtyard wall of more than two meters, and then as soon as the hand was forced, the whole person turned over to the courtyard wall, walked a few steps along the courtyard wall, and came to the roof of the house, he ran a few steps on the roof like a cat, and after climbing from the roof on this side to the roof on the other side, he lay on the tiles behind the ridge, showing a head, and quietly looked at the situation in the alley。
The carriage was at eleven o'clock below him, only thirty meters away from where Yan Liqiang was lying on his stomach, and on the roof, Yan Liqiang chose this angle, just enough to see the scene in the alley below.
Half of the face of the Shatu man who drove the carriage here was covered in his hat, and only a pair of eyes were exposed, and after stopping the car, the man got out of the car and looked left and right, looking very careful, and only after finding that there was no one in the alley did he come to a back door in the backyard, and knocked on the door with a clasp.
The sound of the Shatu knocking on the door was very regular, two short and two long, which seemed to be a code.
After knocking on the door, the Shatu man waited at the door.
Just over ten seconds later, a lantern lit up in the backyard, and a man in his thirties carrying a lantern walked out from a room not far away with two men, came to the small door in the backyard, opened the door a crack first, looked outside, and only after seeing the Shatu man did he open the courtyard door and walked out.
The shopkeeper who came out of the ready-to-wear store and the Shatu man put their heads together and said a few words, but the voices of the two people were too small, and Yan Liqiang was far away, so he basically didn't hear what the two people said.
It was only after the two men had spoken a few words that the Shatu opened the door of the carriage of the carriage, and the shopkeeper beckoned, and one of the two men who had followed him jumped into the carriage, dragged a large roll of animal skins out of the carriage, and then carried the roll of animal skins to a room in the courtyard of the cloth village with the other fellows.
The two men went out again, and carried another large roll of hides from the wagon, and carried them to a room in the courtyard.
Then the Shatu man closed the door of the carriage, and without stopping, he drove the carriage away, and the man who looked like the shopkeeper looked left and right, and then entered the courtyard and locked the back of the courtyard.
At first glance, it seemed that the Shatu man had just come to deliver goods to this ready-to-wear store, normal business dealings, and there was nothing strange about it, but Yan Liqiang still felt that something was wrong.
First of all, the two sides were too sneaky, not like they were sitting on something good, and secondly, he always felt that the Shatu man was not a kind person and would not come to earn this kind of money as a coachman, and the person who looked like the shopkeeper didn't give him the money at all when he was leaving, and finally, when the two guys in the ready-to-wear store just carried the two large bundles of leather goods to the cloth village, Yan Liqiang always felt that there was something wrong with the two bundles of leather goods.
Under normal circumstances, if it is an ordinary leather goods, the two guys can go in with a bundle each, but just now, when the two guys took the two bundles of leather goods in, they were carried by two people, and from above, the middle of the two bundles of leather goods seemed to be empty, and the leather goods were rolled outside, from the weight point of view, there was something wrong, and the two people seemed to be very careful when carrying those rough leather goods, which was not at all like the style of carrying leather goods.
The Shatu man drove the carriage away from the alley below Yan Liqiang, the carriage was already empty, Yan Liqiang thought about it, did not leave with the carriage, but stayed, after the carriage had gone away, Yan Liqiang slowly slid down from the eaves, stepped on the courtyard wall again, came to the alley, and quickly ran to the courtyard wall behind the ready-to-wear stores.
Yan Liqiang straightened the hat on his head, pulled up the scarf a little, completely covered his face, and then stepped on the wall twice, and instantly climbed to the top of the courtyard wall, and then hooked the courtyard wall with his hand, and gently landed in the courtyard - Qian Su gave Yan Liqiang the body cheats of "Nine Palace Wind Shadow Steps", which played a role at this time.
The lights in the room not far away were still on, and the shopkeeper and the two fellows, as well as the two bundles of leather goods that had been brought in, were all in that room.
Yan Liqiang tiptoed to a window outside the room, just like a plot often in film and television dramas, stretched out a finger, dipped his saliva, and then gently poked a small hole in the cotton paper on the window in the bottom lattice of the window, and then leaned his head over to look at the situation in the room.
This room seems to be a pile of leather goods, there are a lot of tiger skins, bear skins, leopard skins, fox skins and the like in the room, and there are some mink skins, which are dazzling, and the leather goods are placed on the shelves.
The shopkeeper was standing aside, and the two bundles of antelope skins were lying on the ground, and the shopkeeper was directing the two men to cut the ropes on the outside of the two bundles of antelope skins and open the skins.
A bundle of leather goods scattered at once, but Yan Liqiang felt his heart shrink suddenly.
He saw a young woman of about seventeen or eighteen years old, tied in the middle of the furs, and as soon as the furs were opened, the woman was lying on the ground.
The woman was already unconscious, and her hair was a little messy, but judging from her dress, she should be a Chinese woman in Pingxi City, and she had a good appearance.
Another bundle of leather goods was opened, and it was a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, also a Chinese woman, and both women were unconscious.
One of the guys swallowed a mouthful of saliva, pinched the face of the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, and laughed, "Shopkeeper, the goods sent by those Shatu people this time are good, much better than the one last time, they all look like they are still chicks, the last time, Gongzi was not very satisfied, he only played for one day, and he died, these two must be able to play for a few more days......"
"If you want to die, put away your claws, less nonsense, such a woman, it's not something you can play, you can't eat without a hair, hurry up and send it to me, Childe is still waiting......" The shopkeeper said, and pushed a shelf with tiger skins next to him, and a hole was revealed in the ground.
"Haole, Haole......" The guy who was still smiling just now stood up, and then with a guy next to him, took two large wooden boxes, put the two women in the two wooden boxes, covered them, and then the two of them carried a box at the same time, and walked in through the entrance of the exposed tunnel.
After seeing the two people enter, the shopkeeper himself opened another box, stared greedily at the woman in the box, reached out and touched the girl in the box for a while, for four or five minutes, when he heard footsteps in the tunnel, the shopkeeper swallowed his saliva, sighed, and whispered to himself, "It's a pity, it's a shame to be a ......", after saying this, the shopkeeper retracted his hand and closed the box again.
The two men came out of the hole and carried the box into the tunnel.
Hearing this, Yan Liqiang's fists clenched tightly, the surging killing intent was already boiling in his heart, in his last life, he hated human traffickers the most, and felt that human traffickers were more harmful than drug traffickers, but he didn't expect that this time, he would actually let him encounter this kind of thing, just listened to the tone of the shopkeeper and the guy, the woman who was sent in was estimated to be more auspicious in the end......
Thinking of this, Yan Liqiang's heart suddenly fell......
