Shangjing Chapter 25 Waterway Volume: Schemes (5)

The shopkeeper returned to the inn lobby and thought about finding another way to inquire.

He called a guy who ran to the hall, "You go, call those two women to the lobby again, and say, the registration is not detailed enough." ”

ran to the room and told them to go to the lobby again, Lin Qingran knew that they wanted to continue to find out, so he let Shang Jing be in the room and went to the inn lobby alone.

"Just now, the official came to check and said that the content of the registered hotel is not detailed enough, which is ...... We can't help it. The shopkeeper pretended to be helpless.

"It's okay, you ask." Lin Qingran was not surprised.

"What did you do in Xinzhou?" The shopkeeper asked cautiously.

"Our lord used to be in the silk business in Xinzhou." She said.

"Oh...... Then how did you come to this Yangzhou City? ”

"When the lord went to the capital to do business, he was deceived and arrested by the government, and the trustee spent a lot of silver taels to redeem the lord. But after this incident, the old man's body was not as good as day by day, and later he spent all the money in the family, and he didn't make a good old man, so he ...... That's it. Lin Qingran had already thought of what to say, "Madame passed away at an early age, and now only Miss and I are left, so I have to come to Yangzhou City to join my relatives." After speaking, he sighed twice.

"Oh! I see......"

"It's just a pity, our young lady, who was harmed by this incident, doesn't want to say anything now, huh......" She also pretended to be sad and cried quietly.

"Alas, this world is unpredictable, and don't be sad." Although the shopkeeper was comforted on the surface, he thought in his heart that this was a good opportunity, "Then you go and rest first, and the food will be delivered to you in a while." ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper." After speaking, Lin Qingran pretended to wipe his tears, turned around and prepared to go back to the room.

On the way back to the room, she found an opportunity to inform Liu Wei, because she was sure that the shopkeeper would definitely do it.

Liu Wei received the news and reported it to the little marquis, they may do it at any time, and Li Mingyuan can only wait for the opportunity now.

The shopkeeper saw that there were too many people in the inn now, so when he decided to deliver the food later, he ordered some sweat medicine and waited for the medicine to take effect.

Lin Qingran saw that there would be a lot of people, and they shouldn't be doing well, so he wanted to take a rest first, and wait a while to cheer up and fight with these traffickers.

After a while, the guy brought some food and tea.

Lin Qingran smelled these meals, and there was no smell of sweat medicine, but the color of the tea was a little strange. When she was doing business earlier, she had seen Menghan medicine, which was originally used as an anesthetic in some pharmacies, but now it has become a drug for abducting and selling women in Yangzhou City.

"Do you really want to eat?" She asked Shangjing.

"Yes! Don't worry, I'm fine, this sweat pill won't do anything to me. "Although Shang Jing has heard of this medicine, he has not seen it.

Lin Qingran took a closer look at the tea, "The color of this tea is a little strange, they should have put the medicine in it." ”

"I'll drink a little less, and I should be fine."

"Okay then."

After Shang Jing ate the food and drank some tea, he felt a little dizzy, and he knew that the medicine was starting to take effect. Lin Qingran asked him to lie on the bed first, and he also lay on the side of the bed.

Originally, she had been awake, but she still fell asleep in a daze, and it turned out that the shopkeeper was afraid that the medicine would not be effective enough, so he secretly put some smoke into the house.

Liu Wei also saw the operation of these people, and he observed that after Lin Qingran and the two of them did not react, they entered the house, tied them, put on hoods, and brought them into the carriage prepared behind.

The traffickers wanted to take advantage of the darkness to transport the two of them to a gathering point on the outskirts of the city.

After Li Mingyuan received the news from Liu Wei, under the cover of night, the team trotted all the way and followed them to the outskirts of the city.

"Little Marquis, I mean we've been looking in the city for so long, it turns out that they got people to the suburbs." Chen Chong whispered.

"I'll see you command, go in and arrest people." Li Mingyuan wanted to go in and arrest people immediately.

"Little Marquis, look, there's a person over there!" Chen Chong saw a person walking this way under the moonlight, "This person is dressed a bit like a salt merchant. "I can vaguely see it by the moonlight.

"Could it be someone from the Jiang family?" Li Mingyuan also saw it.

"Little Hou Ye, should we wait any longer." Chen Chong wanted to wait for him to enter the house, so that he could catch him, and these salt merchants would be even more inseparable.

"Okay......" Although Li Mingyuan was not too reluctant.

The Jiang family salt merchant heard that they had made a stunning beauty, and he also planned to come over to take a look earlier, for fear that he would be robbed too late.

After Lin Qingran and the two of them were brought by these traffickers, they took off their hoods and looked at them.

"This woman is indeed stunning! Not bad! He looked at Shang Jing and said.

"What about this girl?" Another trafficker asked.

"It's almost, send it to the brothel."

"Okay."

Lin Qingran was brought out by them again like this, and Li Mingyuan thought it was the carriage that sent people back, so he didn't take it to heart. After waiting for the salt merchant to enter the house, he went in together and arrested everyone, and came to get the stolen goods.

And the salt merchant and the man who were waiting outside were taken over, and they led him into the house.

Li Mingyuan also stood up and said loudly, "Let's go!" All the guards immediately surrounded the place to prevent people from escaping.

Then they rushed in together, and before they could react, they were all caught.

After Li Mingyuan caught these people, he hurriedly searched for Lin Qingran, but only found Shang Jing who had fainted.

"Say! Where did one of the two women you arrested go to? He yelled.

"What? What woman? The trafficker at the head was still at a loss, and he was discussing the price of the woman with the salt merchant, so he rushed in.

"It seems that you have a hard mouth! Somebody, cut off his hand for me! Li Mingyuan said fiercely with a fierce look on his face.

"I say! I say! The woman who came with this one had just been sent to a brothel. At this time, the trafficker also came to his senses and said in horror.

"What!! A brothel? That brothel!! Li Mingyuan was obviously a little panicked.

"This ...... I don't know, they usually send it, I really don't know......" The trafficker said trembling all over.

"If you don't say it again, I'll let you know what life is better than death!!" Knowing that Lin Qingran would be in danger, he was even more fierce, and the killing intent had completely appeared in his eyes.

"I really don't know...... I beg you to spare me. "The traffickers kept pleading.

"Little Hou Ye, it seems that he really doesn't know." Chen Chong said.

"I must go back to town right now! Chen Chong, you continue to interrogate them! Li Mingyuan knew that he couldn't waste time here, he had to go back to Yangzhou City first.

"Yes!"

After Li Mingyuan came out, he realized that Lin Qingran must be in the carriage that went back from here just now. He regretted not stopping the carriage, but for now, he had to rush back immediately. The soldiers found a few horses from the traffickers, and he and Liu Wei rode them all the way back to Yangzhou City.

In this land of fireworks in Yangzhou City, there are also thirty or forty brothels in the city.

Liu Wei followed Li Mingyuan back to the city, and said some information on the way, according to their observations these days, this inn has a total of five brothels. Maybe Lin Qingran was taken to one of these five families, but I don't know which one it is for a while.

"Find it!" Li Mingyuan said loudly.

When he arrived in the city, Liu Wei found the soldiers in disguise at the original inn and inquired about the situation, and the soldiers said that they did not see the carriage come back, and then he went to find people from other monitoring points.

When he arrived at the brothel, Li Mingyuan rushed straight in, he ordered people to search one by one, and heard a woman's cry for help from a room on the second floor, he immediately rushed up and kicked open the door and rushed in, and saw a man who was about to insult a woman, Li Mingyuan didn't think about it, and rushed over to pull away the man, and was about to say something, when he saw that she was not Lin Qingran.

"Thank you, Childe! Thank you, Childe! After the woman was rescued, she kept thanking her.

"Little Hou Ye, I searched all over the room, but I didn't see Miss Lin!" At this time, Liu Wei also came over.

"Isn't she here?" Li Mingyuan was even more panicked, he knew that at this time, Lin Qingran might be in the same dangerous situation as this woman.

"Little Hou Ye, I'll look for it again!" After Liu Wei finished speaking, he ran out of the room and shouted loudly: "Lin Qingran! Lin Qingran! ”

And Lin Qingran .......

She didn't drink tea, she just smoked a little cigarette, so on the way back to the city, she woke up.

As soon as she woke up, she found that Shang Jing was gone, what about Shang Jing? She looked around and saw that she was tied up. The guard in the car was the running hall of the original inn, and the shop guy saw that she was awake and told her to be honest. Lin Qingran knew that the situation was not good now, so he still watched more and moved less.

The carriage carried her and the group to the back door of a brothel, and when they entered, a fat old woman came to check on her.

"This woman's appearance is average, and she can't sell it for a few dollars." The old mother said.

Phew! What kind of posture is average, I don't know how to appreciate it. Lin Qingran was actually not afraid, she knew that Li Mingyuan would definitely come over, and at present, she just had to delay the time to protect herself.

"Just give some money, and that's it." The shopkeeper said.

"What's the matter, just give some money! I can do everything, like playing the piano, singing, dancing, and keeping accounts. I'll do it all! Lin Qingran thought to himself, even if I was sold, I would sell it for a high price!

"Yo, little girl, do you still keep accounts?" The old mother asked, now the woman who can read and keep accounts is in a good market, and she can sell it to some businessmen for a lot more.

"Of course!" She's already in business, so she's definitely good at this.

"Well, let her go to the account room and try it to see if it's a lie......"
