After a few days of investigation, they got some information and found that all the problems in the inn were directed at the salt merchants.

So, Li Mingyuan decided to get everyone together to discuss the future plan.

"Today, I'm looking for you to discuss the matter of the salt merchant, Chen Chong...... Tell us about the inn. Li Mingyuan said.

Chen Chong said: "After a few days of squatting, there are a total of nine people in the inn, a boss, a shopkeeper, four running boys, a cook, and two miscellaneous people. The people who usually stay are people who come to Yangzhou City to do business, and there is nothing suspicious. But they also offer some special services if the guests need them. Speaking of this, he paused and looked at the little marquis, at this time Li Mingyuan frowned, and then he continued, "We also sent people to investigate, and it is true that they are related to the major brothels in Yangzhou City, and in addition, they also have dealings with salt merchants. ”

"Now that we have the evidence at hand, can we sue them?" Lin Qingran asked.

"It should be okay to sue them, but at present, these can only confirm that there is a connection between them, but if they are to be punished, more conclusive evidence may be needed." Chen Chong said.

"Little Marquis, we went to the inn in disguise these days, the problem is really big, why don't we arrest people like this, and then let Governor Zhang try it." Liu Wei felt that there was a lot of evidence.

"I don't agree, if the evidence is not sufficient now, the salt merchants can rely on it, in case the prefect Zhang sees that the evidence is insufficient, and he is afraid of offending the Jiangnan salt envoy, he will definitely turn against them, and then we will be the enemy on our backs." Lin Qingran said.

"What Miss Lin said makes sense, it's still very dangerous." Chen Chong said.

"So we still have to find substantial evidence that they handed over the traffickers, right?" Li Mingyuan frowned and said with a serious expression.

"Yes." After Chen Chong finished speaking, he looked at Lin Qingran.

Lin Qingran was still unwilling, and was determined to try a way to fall into trouble, "Or, just try that way, maybe you may not be caught." If we get out of the inn safely tomorrow, forget it. She wanted to dispel Li Mingyuan's concerns.

Li Mingyuan clenched his palms and thought carefully, "Okay, if you come out of the inn safely tomorrow, we will continue to go to Beijing, and then think of other ways when we arrive in Huizhou." "yes, they won't necessarily be caught...... either.

After the discussion, Li Mingyuan asked Chen Chong to inform the Jiangnan Salt Transport Envoy that he would leave Yangzhou City tomorrow, so that they could relax their vigilance first and decide to do it tonight.

In the evening, after cleaning the eyeliner around him, he gathered everyone together.

"I'll talk about tonight's plan in detail, first of all, Shang Jing pretended to be a daughter in distress and went to the Spring Inn, Lin Qingran, you are just responsible for being a maid, Shang Jing, you try to be as generous as possible." He said.

"Yes." Shangjing said.

Li Mingyuan saw that she didn't react, "Lin Qingran, did you hear it?" ”

"Got it...... "I'm not a three-year-old.

"Liu Wei, the people you originally disguised in the inn will continue to be there, and after they go in, you are responsible for keeping an eye on them, and if there is any situation, report it, be careful not to expose it." He continued.

"Yes!" Liu Wei said.

"Chen Chong and I are guarding the front and back doors, and if there are suspicious people or carriages coming out, we will follow them in batches." Li Mingyuan continued.

"Yes!" Chen Chong said.

"Wang Li, you stay here at the inn for the time being, and if someone comes to look for you, you can stop them back."

"Yes!" Wang Li said.

Everything was ready, and everyone was on the move.

Shang Jing and Lin Qingran avoided their eyes and ears, pretending to have just arrived in Yangzhou City, and prepared to go to the Spring Festival Inn. Because it was the first time for Shang Jing to walk on the street dressed like this, it was inevitable that he would be a little nervous. Lin Qingran gave him a cloak, and after he put on the cloak to cover his head, it was indeed a lot better.

"Don't worry, I'm here, just take off the brim of your cloak when you enter the door, and I'll give it to you after that." She wanted to keep Shangjing from being nervous.

"Yes." When Shang Jing heard her words, he was immediately relieved.

Lin Qingran's eyes were firm at this time, although the inn in front of her was full of dangers, but she had come all the way, and that time was not from danger, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

When she came to the door of the inn, she looked at it, pretending not to want to go in, and said loudly: "Miss, this inn doesn't look very good, why don't we change it." "She was trying to get the attention of the guy at the door.

At this time, the guy at the door saw that there was a woman staying and immediately greeted him.

"Two young ladies, our inn is the best inn in Yangzhou City, you can come in and have a look." The guy at the door said with a flattering look on his face, this is his specialty, usually if there are guests who don't want to come in, they will say so.

"Really? Well, we've gone so far, so let's go in and have a look. Lin Qingran pretended to be reluctant.

In fact, she is like this, and she is indeed not pretending, usually doing business and going to some not very good inns, and the guys at the door will greet her like this.

Li Mingyuan and the others were afraid of being detected, they were still some distance away from them, and they didn't know what her situation was.

It was dinner time in the evening, and there were still quite a lot of people in the lobby of the inn, and Liu Wei and them were also mixed in the crowd. After Shang Jing entered the lobby, he took off the brim of his hat that had been covered, revealing his carefully dressed face. His appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention, as if the light clouds covered the moon, fluttering like the wind and snow, which woman was born so good-looking.

Shang Jing looked around at the inn, most of them were men, and they looked at him with squinting eyes, he was a little scared.

Lin Qingran also saw Liu Wei in a crowd of people, and she took Shang Jing's hand and said not to be afraid.

The guys on the side were also stunned, such a beauty, they are rare here. After all, the innkeeper was well-informed, and when he saw such a stunning person, he hurriedly walked over. "Are you staying in a hotel or dining?"

"We stay in the hotel." Lin Qingran said.

"This way, please, this way!" The shopkeeper beckoned them and asked the man to go down first.

"I wonder where the two young ladies came from?" The shopkeeper asked.

"We're just staying for one night, why do we have to ask so much detail?" Lin Qingran thought that since he pretended, he had to pretend to be a little more like.

"No, it's just that the officials in Yangzhou City have a request recently, and all those who come from other places to stay in the hotel must ask clearly." The shopkeeper often uses this excuse to ask if he can be trafficked.

"We came from Xinzhou to look for our relatives." Although Lin Qingran grew up in the capital, his parents are both from Xinzhou, so he can still speak some Xinzhou dialect.

"Oh! That's the case, then I'll help you two register first. The shopkeeper looked at the stunning woman in front of him and asked, "May I ask this young lady's surname." ”

Shang Jing saw the shopkeeper looking at him, and took a step back in fear.

Seeing this, Lin Qingran hurriedly stopped with his hand, "Our miss, it's inconvenient to talk, just ask me if you have anything you want to ask." ”

The shopkeeper thought to himself, such a stunning woman turned out to be a mute, but it's a pity, "That's good." ”

After registering, the shopkeeper asked again, "Do you have any other needs, and if you don't have any words, let the guy take you to the room." ”

Lin Qingran said: "Just make something to eat and send it to you later." Immediately, she and Shang Jing were taken to the room by a group.

After Liu Wei saw Lin Qingran's operation, he thought to himself, this woman is very powerful. Now that they have moved in, they still have to inform the little marquis quickly, "You go, tell the little marquis, they have already moved in." ”

"Yes!"

The shopkeeper led them to the room and turned away. Lin Qingran saw that the guy had walked away, and after checking around, he closed the door after making sure that no one was there.

She carefully examined the room, and the shopkeeper was afraid that they would slip away, so he arranged a windowless room by the inner courtyard, and she had thought that if she could still pass some news by the side of the street, now it seemed that it would not work.

Seeing that there was no danger, Shang Jing took off the cloak he was draping on his body and said, "There is really something wrong with this inn!" ”

"Yes!" She also realized.

"What do you think they're going to do to us?" Shang Jing asked.

"Presumably, I'll put sweat medicine or something in the food." Lin Qingran asked the woman, and the woman said that she was arrested after eating the inn's meals and tea.

"Shall we eat what they will send later?"

"It's not good to say, what if you use drugs?" She watched a lot of dramas when she was a child.

“…… So what do we do? Shang Jing said worriedly.

"It's okay, with me, will you pretend to be dizzy? It's that after you faint, they will carry you out, and you can't wake up. She said.

"I, I'm not very good at pretending, so if I don't pretend well, will I be exposed?" Shang Jing asked with a worried expression.

"Yes." In fact, she pretended to be stunned for the first time, but there is always a first time for everything.

"Then I'm still really dizzy, I don't want to fail because of my operation." He said.

Lin Qingran originally wanted to make Shang Jing pretend to be dizzy, but Shang Jing took the initiative to faint, she thought for a while and said, "If you really faint, what if there is danger?" ”

"It's okay, aren't you there?" Shang Jing was very relieved to have Lin Qingran by his side.

"Alright then!"

The shopkeeper here asked the guy to look at the store, and he ran to the backyard to find the shopkeeper and told him about the two women who lived in the store.

"This woman is a rare beauty!" The shopkeeper said.

"Really?" The shopkeeper asked.

"It's true, I've handled so much, and there are really few such goods!"

"But it says to stop." The owner of the shop recently received the above news that human trafficking should be stopped in advance.

"Didn't you say that these days would be fine?" The shopkeeper asked unrelentingly.

"In this case, you can inquire about their specific situation." The owner didn't want to miss the opportunity.

"Okay!"
