Huangjindu is the largest port in Qingzhou, and behind it is the richest Huangjin City in Qingzhou.
At Sunset Wharf, rows of large and small merchant ships docked at the port, and there was an endless stream of business travelers and sailors, a thriving scene.
When Yan Yunting and Yuwen Changqing came to the wharf, it was already sunset, the fire under the afterglow burned the clouds, the horse lanterns and fishing fires dotted the river at the same time, the river breeze was blowing slowly, and they were already drunk before they drank the three whites.
A few people were about to find an inn to rest, but just as they were about to walk out of the dock, a girl in ragged clothes and a disheveled hair cried and pounced, "Help, help......
"Stinky girl! Stop! Run again and I'll break your legs! A middle-aged man in a brocade robe with thin cheeks chased after him with two strong men.
"Big brother, save me, they're going to sell me to the Qinglou!" The girl was so frightened that she hid behind Ah Liao.
"Stinky girl! You still dare to run out without permission, and see that I won't pull out your two teeth when I go back!" The tall and thin man's face was sinister, and the two big men struck left and right, blocking Ah Liao and the girl at the intersection.
"What do you want to do!?" Ah Liao opened his arms to protect the girl behind him, and the two men saw that the person in front of them was as tall as a mountain, and they didn't dare to grab it for a while.
"Silly big man, I advise you not to meddle in your business, this girl is our goods, and she can still run after giving birth to two legs?!" The tall and thin man rolled up his sleeves and was about to grab it, but the girl dodged left and right around Ah Liao, and several times she wanted to shake the tall and thin man.
The tall and thin man was anxious, and yelled at the big man: "You two eat rice!" Don't help me catch her! ”
"Wait!" Ah Liao's big fleshy palm pressed the slender man's head, and said, "A good female doll, why is it said to be a two-legged cargo?" You are human traffickers! ”
The tall and thin man grabbed his hands and feet: "Stupid big man, you can't find death, let go of Lao Tzu!" ”
"Ah Liao." Yuwen Changqing shook his head, and Ah Liao pushed the tall and thin man away.
"Big brother, they are bad people, they cheated me out of my father for five taels of silver, they ...... They're going to sell us to a brothel! The girl trembled and sobbed with fright.
"Who he. Mom lied to you? It was your father who couldn't support you, so he sold you to us! There are white and black letters, and handprints! The tall and thin man stuck his waist and looked arrogant: "I tell you, don't get involved in our affairs, otherwise I will give an order and you will not be able to get out of this dock!" ”
As he spoke, the men who helped the dock approached the intersection one after another, holding swords and swords in their hands, and soon surrounded Yan Yunting and the others.
"What? There are too many people to bully too little? Yan Yunting held the hilt of the sword and was about to draw the sword, but Yuwen Changqing stopped him, shook his head, and asked the tall and thin man:
"How much does this girl cost?"
"Hey! I tell you, don't sell! The tall and thin man said in a loud voice.
"Why don't you sell her if you treat her as a commodity?" Yuwen Changqing asked.
The tall and thin man said in a loud voice: "This girl is in good condition, I am going to take it to auction, if you really want to buy her, prepare the silver, and go to the 'Baihualou' in the city tonight to bid, and the one with the highest price will win." ”
"What's the difference between you and buying and selling livestock!" Ah Liao said.
The tall and thin man said, "You're really right, you can buy a cow for five taels of silver this year, and a cow is still four-legged!" How? If you can't afford the price, don't pretend to be big, there are so many good sons and daughters in the city! ”
"You!" Ah Liao gritted his teeth angrily, "Childe, let me slaughter these beasts!" ”
Yuwen Changqing pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Do you shoot other types of girls?" ”
"Yes wow! From thirty or forty broken flowers and willows, down to twelve or thirteen-year-old cardamom girls, if you are a good man, we also have a supply! The tall and thin man patted his chest and promised: "But don't worry, our family's goods, appearance and figure are definitely the best!" ”
"Dare to ask your name?" Yuwen Changqing asked.
The tall and thin man snorted coldly: "Outsiders, you don't even know my Wu Tianliang's name?" ”
Ah Liao scolded: "It's really a human being who lives up to his name, and his conscience has been eaten by dogs!" ”
"Ah Liao. Give her to him. Yuwen Changqing said.
"Childe! What are you talking about! Ah Liao was shocked.
"Give it to him." Yuwen Changqing accentuated his tone.
"Big uncle, big brother, I don't ...... I don't ......" The girl pulled Ah Liao's shirt and knelt down crying and begging.
"Come here, you stinky girl!" The tall and thin man grabbed the girl by the hair and dragged her out with a ruthless heart.
Yan Yunting couldn't help it, flew and kicked Wu Tianliang to the ground, and then pulled out a scimitar and clamped it around his neck with lightning speed, and scolded: "Dog thing! I really want to dig out your heart and liver to see how dark it is! ”
"Ouch...... You...... Do you know who I am? You-"
"Brother Yan, let him die as a dog." Yuwen Changqing stepped forward and pressed Yan Yunting's hand, shaking his head to signal not to be impulsive. Then he said to Wu Tianliang:
"I'll come and ransom her tonight, but I'm very picky and like clean girls, so you're going to have to give them a full meal and a clean dress, understand?"
Wu Tianliang swallowed his saliva and walked away from under Yan Yunting's knife, "It should be like this, it should be like this......"
"Get out of here!" Yan Yunting shouted.
Wu Tianliang crawled out of the dock with a roll.
Ah Liao looked at the girl who was dragged away, his fists clenched so loudly that he couldn't help but complain: "Childe, do you really plan to do business with these wolf-hearted guys?" ”
Yuwen Changqing said lightly: "Otherwise, how can I rescue the other girls?" ”
"But let's go all the way south, entanglement is just like that, make a little bit of a pass, pay tolls, and give alms along the way...... The money bag is about to be empty, the place of fireworks in a brothel, there is no one thousand eight hundred taels to go in, it is in vain, where can we find money? Ah Liao complained.
Yuwen Changqing sighed lightly: "Take the valuable things in the bag and pawn them, it should be enough to get together." ”
Ah Liao muttered in a low voice: "Son, you are too benevolent and kind......"
"I have a place where I can make money." Yan Yunting suddenly proposed.
Yuwen Changqing squinted and smiled: "Bet? ”
"Brother Yuwen is really smart."
"But I'm not a gambler."
"I'm not very good at gambling, but we are righteous people and do good things, I think God should favor us, right?"
"Let's go."
