Chapter Twenty-Three: I Want to Become a Human

Lan Xiang went to the dark market alone that night, there was a guide at the door of the dark market, and saw that most of the girl's family came in for gold and silver, and they wouldn't take this kind of guest too seriously, just send a guy to check their identity and greet them, but all the people in the dark market changed that night.

Lan Xiang didn't expect that she wouldn't be able to come out again after she went in.

The dark market has been very heavily guarded recently, and the usher stays in the alley of Man Tingfang, and the identity of the visitor must be verified before taking it to the right place, Lan Xiang is a familiar person in this area, and the usher only interrogated her a little and led her into the dark market.

There is a choking aroma at the entrance of the dark market, which is similar to the rouge of Man Tingfang on a rough smell, but it is extremely strong, but only Shen Ci knows that this rich aroma is mixed with an unpleasant smell, which is disgusting like dead fish and shrimp.

When Yin Shuo brought people here, there was no one in the dark market, only two or three guys were storing the goods, and when he saw the people in the criminal department, his expression was calm, no different from the past, this feeling of not being taken seriously made him very disgusted here, and his tone couldn't help but become majestic:

"Call out your stewards."

A man in a green shirt walked out from behind, his face was full of beard, and his appearance with big shoulders and round waist gave people a sense of oppression.

"Official, what's the matter?"

"Someone reported that a maid was lost, and we need to search here."

"The official is really joking." He sneered, "How many people are sent here every day, and it is impossible to leave them here." ”

"It's impossible that it's not up to you, come on, search for me." Yin Shuo came under the pressure of Liu Mingxiu, originally thought it was just an ordinary purchase, but he didn't expect that Lanxiang's girl would disappear out of thin air.

After all, the dark market was approved by the government, but as the circulation of stolen goods, the people in contact were all on the rivers and lakes, so they acted extremely hidden, and now the government wants to search for people, and it is not easy for him to stop him, otherwise there will be no need to do business in the future.

It's just that the girl last night......

His face tried to show composure, watching the Dali Temple and others turn the small place upside down, but in the end they found nothing, he breathed a sigh of relief, and a perfunctory smile finally appeared on his face: "Official, I said that we are doing business, although this business is not very open, but it will not kill people and oversell goods." ”

Yin Shuo gritted his teeth, stared at his beard fiercely, and squeezed out a word very unwillingly: "Go!" ”

Lanxiang's whereabouts are unknown, this incident makes Qingli blame herself, Liu Mingxiu has not stepped out of Tanchun Tower again, so the second day the capital spread, Fengshen handsome and promising criminal department Shangshu Liu Mingxiu smiled for the beauty and lingered in Qinglou day by day, Qingli's worth rose for a while, but this matter can anger the aunts of Liufu.

Meng Wei felt that she had suffered a great shame, she was not as good as a girl from a noble house, but the female virtue that she had been familiar with since she was a child suppressed her urge to go to the Qinglou to find people in person, and secretly asked Bai Lan to send a letter back to the Taishi's Mansion to inform her unsuccessful brother to secretly investigate.

Meng Wei's younger brother Meng Chao is a typical gentleman, three teachings and nine streams do not learn and have no skills, and he is idle all day long, and the biggest advantage is that he has a wide range of contacts.

Liu Mingxiu was drinking tea in the room, Qingli began to shed tears when she talked about Lanxiang, beauty tears are always distressing, Shen Ci looked at her and had mixed feelings in her heart, if she kept the clue that Liu Mingxiu didn't know when she would close the case, how many people would be sacrificed in the middle.

"Meow." She looked at Liu Mingxiu and screamed softly, Liu Mingxiu put down the tea cup and looked at her softly.

Shen Ci suddenly raised his right paw and flicked the teacup that Liu Mingxiu had put down to his side, Qingli stopped crying and exclaimed: "Isn't this cat a sperm?" It's human! ”

Liu Mingxiu didn't pay attention to it, hooked his lips and smiled, leaned over to her, and said in a soft tone: "Do you want me to investigate the case?" ”

"Meow." Shen Ci responded, this time Qingli couldn't say a word.

Liu Mingxiu seemed to be in a good mood, got up and walked out, and said as he walked: "Lanxiang must still be in the dark market, I'll go there myself." ”

"My lord, I'm with you."

"No need, now it's rumored that I'm staying here every day for Bo Meiren to laugh, and it will be too bad to take you to handle the case." The smile on the corner of his lips seemed to be nothing, Qingli shook her head for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, there was still Liu Mingxiu's shadow.

Meng Chao was about to come in, when he bumped into Liu Mingxiu who came out at the door, holding a cat in his hand, walking in a hurry, Yin Shuo led people to squat around the dark market day and night, he walked so fast that he didn't even look at this brother-in-law.

"Hey, this person-" Meng Chao was angry, he was rampant and domineering in the capital, and he didn't borrow Liu Mingxiu's prestige, but now he was openly ignored and his face was very unbearable, but what could he do, who made him a favored minister?

Shen Ci nested in Liu Mingxiu's arms, and when she passed by Meng Chao, she smelled the strong smell of incense powder on his body, and quickly turned her head to turn her head, but this twist saw Tang Jiyuan who was in a hurry across the street, she felt a pang in her heart, seeing him like this, she was going to do something, and finally met, she wanted to break free from Liu Mingxiu and catch up, but she also wanted to see if Lan Xiang's disappearance would be related to the fish shop, so hesitating, Tang Jiyuan had already disappeared into the sea of people.

Shen Ci sighed, her desire to become a human became stronger and stronger.

Liu Mingxiu is a jade-faced student, but he has thunderous means, and he broke into the dark market with a group of officers and soldiers murderously, and happened to meet the guys in the dark market who were packing, he stopped people and asked: "What are these?" ”

The guy replied with a smile: "If you go back to the official, it is the fish and shrimp that are transported to the north, you see." ”

As he spoke, he opened the wooden lid, and a pungent fishy smell came to his face, the fish and shrimp in the box were indeed going to die, Liu Mingxiu pointed to the box and asked, "The fish and shrimp also go to the dark market?" ”

"The official doesn't know." The man stood with his hands folded, "These fish and shrimp are illegally fished, and they are sold through us." ”

These things are common, the government is too lazy to care, after all, the people also have to survive, and the dark market will also enter the palace every year to pay taxes, simply turn a blind eye, the smell in the box is not very good, Liu Mingxiu took a step back, and said in his heart that these people will not transfer people in broad daylight, waved his hand to signal them to go out, after two boxes, Shen Ci suddenly felt that something was wrong, she squeezed out Liu Mingxiu's arms hard, and jumped up to a box in the middle, the guy just said that the cat saw the fish mouth, but she screamed manically.

Liu Mingxiu looked thoughtful, but stopped when he was about to leave the dark market: "Wait." ”

Shen Ci quieted down at this time, but she didn't get down from the wooden box, she did smell a different smell, it was the smell of fat powder for women.

Although that thin aroma has long been absent under such a strong fishy smell, but he is naturally sensitive to smells, Shen Ci is sure that the orchid is in the box.
