Chapter 155: Dao Seed Sect
The Dao Sect is ranked last among the five sects in the northwest, and if it is placed among the ten sects of the evil path, it can probably be ranked sixth, which is not as good as the Heaven Sect.
Li Xuandu nodded.
Liu Yushuang continued: "Then Gongzi Li should also know the 'Purple River Dafa' of the Dao Seed Sect. β
Li Xuan couldn't help but start to re-examine the woman in front of him, because a widow who couldn't even keep her own property shouldn't know this. Then there is only one explanation, these are all taught to her by Qian Yulong, or she has been following Qian Yulong all the year round, and she has no teacher.
Whatever the case may be, it shows that this woman is not simple.
Li Xuandu thought for a moment and said, "I have heard of the 'Purple River Dafa', it is a real evil law, and cultivating this method requires taking red pills and swallowing the purple river car, and it is shameful to be a person in the righteous path. β
The so-called red pill, also known as "red lead golden pill", also known as "Sanyuan Dan", takes the menstrual blood of the first menarche, called "congenital red lead", plus the first drop of dew in the middle of the night and black plum and other medicines, boiled seven times, turned into a medicine paddle, plus red lead, autumn stone, human milk, cinnabar, pine resin and other drugs concocted.
As for the purple river car, it is the placenta. "Purple River Dafa" also got its name from this, which shows the evil of this law.
Liu Yushuang said: "According to the news we received, in order to win over the people of the Dao Sect, Qian Yulou began to buy and sell 'vegetable people'. β
What is a "vegetable man"?
Hu Liang told Zhou Shuning in the story has long been clear: because of the war in Liangzhou that year, the displaced people were everywhere, the grass roots and tree bark were eaten, and people were fed, and the officials forbade it, and women and young children were in the city, called "vegetable people", and the butchers bought them, such as buying pigs and sheep.
Li Xuandu's face suddenly became extremely ugly: "She dares to act like this?"
Liu Yushuang said softly: "As long as you sit on the throne of the head of the Qian family, you will be the soil emperor of Jiangzhou, and there is nothing you dare not do." β
Qian Yulong put down the white jade paperweight in his hand, the smile on his face was gone, and his calm voice revealed a coldness: "Our Qian family does all kinds of business, silk, tea, copper, iron, cotton yarn, porcelain, gold, silver, grain, horses, everything, but not people." β
Li Xuandu said softly: "As long as you spread this news to the ears of people in the righteous path, you can borrow a knife to kill people." β
Qian Yulong shook his head and said: "It's true that I can kill people with a knife like this, but the reputation of the Qian family has also been lost, and the so-called family ugliness cannot be publicized, a large part of the reason why I made up my mind to make a move on Qian Yulou is also to protect the reputation of the family." β
Li Xuandu asked, "If I hadn't shown up here, who would you have asked to do it?" β
Qian Yulong said as a matter of course: "Qian can be channeled, if there is no Purple Mansion, I will go directly to Wan Dumen, they do things relatively cleanly, but in this way, it is not easy to grasp the scale, and there is also a collusion between Wan Dumen and Tingfeng Lou, there is a risk of leakage, so it can only be regarded as a helpless next step." β
Li Xuandu nodded: "Understood." β
......
In the port outside Jinling City, there are a lot of cargo ships moored, half of them are hung with the word "money" flag, but the word "money" and the word "money" are different, some of the "money" word flags are embroidered with black edges, and the discerning person knows at a glance that this is the cargo ship under the name of the eldest son of the Qian family, and some of the "money" word flags are embroidered with silver edges, these are the cargo ships under the name of the second lady of the Qian family.
On the surface, these ships look like ordinary cargo ships around them, filled with silk, tea, cotton yarn, porcelain, and grain, but this is only on the deck, and there is no hole in the lower decks.
Li Xuandu was in the cabin of a cargo ship flying a silver-edged flag at this time, which was cramped, cramped, dark, and damp.
The one who led the way for him was a Qian family steward, this steward didn't know Li Xuandu's true identity, he only knew that Li Xuandu was Liu Yushuang's cousin, for these little people whose ancestors had been making a living in the Qian family for generations, Mrs. Liu's cousin was not much different from Uncle Guo, so this steward was very respectful when facing Li Xuandu, even to the point of flattery.
Li Xuandu's gaze swept to both sides, it was more appropriate to say that this was not so much a cabin as a prison.
On both sides of the walkway, there are countless small spaces separated by wooden fences, and in which it is pitch black, only faint flickering light can be seen in the dark. Only when you go in and look closely, you will find that this sparkling light is actually a pair of eyes, but there is no half of life in these eyes, lifeless, and insensitive.
Li Xuandu stopped and took a closer look, all of them were women, their clothes were still intact, and they were not skinny, but they were still vegetable, unkempt, and there was deep horror in everyone's faces and eyes, in addition to numbness.
As early as when Zulong set the world, the slave system has been largely abolished, and in the following thousands of years, although there is a deed of sale, it should be strictly speaking a slave, and later in the Great Jin Dynasty, the living burial system was also abolished.
But now, there are people who have started this kind of slave trade, treating people as livestock, and not saying how to endure it, just from the point of view of reason, it is contrary to human ethics, the law is intolerable, and the heavenly reason is intolerable.
However, Li Xuandu did not show too much expression on his face, and he was still as calm as water.
A person who is accustomed to seeing life and death will be numb to life and death, and life and death can be ignored, so it is naturally difficult to make a fuss and sorrow to show it, and he will become a person whose joy and anger are invisible in the eyes of the world.
Li Xuandu stretched out his fingers and gently stroked these insect-eaten wooden fences, as long as he used a gentle force, he could break them, but he didn't do this, he just silently withdrew his fingers and continued to walk deeper into the cabin.
In the depths of the cabin, there is a "superior cargo".
When Li Xuandu walked out of this narrow passage, his eyes finally brightened a little, this place that can be called a room is about three zhang square, and there is a wooden cage hanging above it, and inside the wooden cage is a young woman who is locked in shackles, sitting dumbfounded, motionless.
The woman's hair was scattered and covered her face, but judging from her thin figure, she should be a beauty.
This is the "tribute" that will soon be offered to the Taoist Sect.
One of the ten sects of evil is not without reason.
Li Xuandu asked, "This is the 'goods' that the second lady wants?"
The steward nodded hurriedly, "Exactly." β
Li Xuandu waved his hand and ordered: "Take her out, clean up, change her clothes, and then send her directly to the Qinxiang Courtyard in a carriage." β
Li Xuandu's indifferent attitude invisibly made the steward believe in his identity even more, because if he didn't often do this business, he wouldn't have such an indifferent attitude, so the steward hurriedly said to a few people behind him: "Didn't you hear what Liu Ye said?"
γ‘ζ°γ€~(8)~1~Chinese ηΆ²ΟΟΟ.Ο~8.~1zΡ.cΓ²ΠΌ
Several stout servants who followed the two of them immediately stepped forward to open the wooden cage.
Li Xuandu asked, "Where did she come from?"
The steward sighed: "A hard-working person, originally a young lady from a scholarly family, has a solid family background, and the family also does some good deeds to open warehouses and release grain to help the poor on weekdays, and also has a reputation as a good person in the countryside." But just in time for this year's famine in Qizhou, Qingyang Sect took the opportunity to start an incident, displaced people everywhere, a group of homeless people who could not survive looted their home, her parents were said to be put into the pot on the spot to cook, said to be for the people to eliminate harm, I don't know which harm to remove, as for her, fortunately, there is still a little bit of beauty, so we in Qizhou people fancy bought, sent by sea, although it is to be given to the old fairy to make a warm bed maid, but it is better than being ruined by those homeless people. β
Li Xuandu pointed to the shackles on the woman's body: "Why do you still wear shackles?"
The steward said: "This woman is not strong-tempered, she did not seek death and life, but she was a refusal to accept her fate, and she took the opportunity to escape twice on the way, and then put on iron shackles." β
Li Xuandu nodded: "Serving the old immortal is a big deal. β
The steward hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Li Xuandu really admired the little sister-in-law at this time.
Qian Yulou originally bought off the old woman in the congenital realm who took care of Liu Yushuang's home and nursing home, and through the old woman, he secretly coerced Liu Yushuang, wanting to plant a nail next to his eldest brother Qian Yulong, but he didn't expect that this little sister-in-law actually made a plan under Qian Yulong's guidance, but instead planted a nail by Qian Yulou's side.
As for the old woman, since she had met Li Xuandu and knew about Qian Yulong's meeting with Li Xuandu, then Qian Yulong would not continue to keep her, and now she may have sunk to the bottom of the river.
However, once Qian Yulou learned of the old woman's death, he would inevitably suspect Liu Yushuang, so there was not much time left for Li Xuandu.
