Chapter 12: Trapped in a Devil's Cave

Outside the city not far from the palace of the king of Wusi, there is a very large snow mountain tea house, which sells the famous "Snow Mountain Qingxin Tea" in Wusi Tibet, and the owner is named Wu Daodao.

Wu Daodao, known as the "Golden Abacus".

He is in his forties, very fat, with a round face, squinting eyes, a smile on his face from time to time, and usually holds a golden abacus in his hand, which makes people look like a shrewd businessman.

Snow Mountain Qingxin Tea is packed in a box, and inside is a small piece of white round tea cake, which exudes a refreshing fragrance and makes people feel refreshed. When someone is mentally tired, boil a pot of hot water, put in a little bit of Snow Mountain Qingxin Tea, brew for a while, and then pour it out to drink, the fatigue disappears, the whole body is comfortable, and the spirit is 100 times.

This tea is good, and the price is also expensive, and you will get a tael of gold for a box.

Ordinary people can't afford to drink.

Most of the Snow Mountain Qingxin Tea in this Snow Mountain Tea House was bought by tea sellers and transported to Datang for a long time, and its value suddenly skyrocketed tenfold, and it took ten taels of gold to buy a box.

In the past few days, rich people have entered the palace one after another to complain to the king Wu Chongfo, saying that their daughter went to the Snow Mountain Tea House to buy tea and has not returned home, as if she has disappeared.

The king Wu Chongfo handed over this matter to Xiao Lingzi, who was really Wuzhong, to deal with it.

Xiao Suzuko took over this important task, and when she went back, she found her body to discuss with her.

Wu Chongzhen thinks that this is a good thing, as long as he does this well, as long as he does this well, he will greatly increase his prestige in the Tibetan country of Wusi.

The two of them discussed in the room for a while, and they both felt that this matter was very unusual, and they felt that this Snow Mountain Tea House was the most suspicious, and finally decided to let Wu Chongzhen pretend to be a rich lady to go to Snow Mountain Tea House tomorrow to buy tea and find out the truth.

The next day, Wu Chongzhen pretended to be a rich lady, left the palace, and went to the Snow Mountain Tea House to buy tea.

He first wandered around the Snow Mountain Tea House for a while.

It was found that on one side of the street facing the Snow Mountain Tea House were two large shops, on the side was a courtyard gate, which could accommodate vehicles to enter and exit, and behind it was a courtyard and many houses, which were used as living rooms, warehouses and workshops. One of the two shops in front is a tea room, which is dedicated to people to taste Snow Mountain Qingxin tea, and the other is a place that sells tea.

The courtyard at the back is very large, and it was no problem to park dozens of carriages.

He walked outside the Snow Mountain Tea House, where the owner of the tea house, Wu Daodao, was sitting at the counter with a golden abacus in his hand.

"Girl, are you going to buy tea?"

Wu Daode saw Wu Chongzhen at a glance, saw that he was dressed as a rich lady, stood up with a golden abacus, and asked him with a smile.

"Boss Wu, I heard that your Snow Mountain Qingxin Tea here is very delicious, my dad has been a little tired recently, I'll buy some for my dad!"

Wu Chongzhen replied as he walked into the shop.

"The girl is very filial, you have come to the right place, the Snow Mountain Qingxin Tea of this tea house can not only eliminate fatigue, but also make people feel a hundred times more energetic!"

Wu Dao walked out of the counter, looked at him with eyes, and walked over with a smile on his face.

"Boss Wu, I can't just listen to you, I have to taste it myself!"

Wu Chongzhen put forward the conditions.

"It's okay, the tea room is next door, girl, please!"

Wu Daode smiled and asked Wu Chongzhen to go to the tea room next door to try it.

"Boss Wu, I'll buy tea!"

Another middle-aged man who looked like a businessman came in.

"Yo, Boss Zhu, long time no see, welcome!"

Wu Daode recognized the person and hurried to greet him.

Ushige went to the tea room next door.

There were two guys in the tea room, several tea tables, and one tea table with five stools.

The two guys, one boiling hot water, the other serving the guests to taste the drink.

There were a few men who looked like they were trying it out, and the house was filled with the fragrance of snow-capped mountain tea.

"Man, pour this girl a cup of Snow Mountain Qingxin Tea and see if it's what your Boss Wu said!"

Ushige sat on a stool next to one of the empty tables, yelling at the guy who was serving the guests.

"Coming soon!"

The guy responded.

Holding a teapot in one hand and a celadon tea bowl in the other, he put the celadon tea bowl on the tea table in front of him, lifted the teapot and poured the tea into the tea bowl, poured it until it was full, put the teapot on the tea table, and the person stood next to it.

The teapot has long been filled with Snow Mountain Qingxin Tea.

The fragrance of the tea leaves emanates from the inside of the tea bowl, and the smell is very pleasant.

Wu Chongzhen picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

Refreshes people's hearts and makes people's hearts feel refreshed.

"Good tea!"

He couldn't help but praise it.

"Girl, the Snow Mountain Qingxin Tea in this tea house lives up to its name, and it is not in vain!"

The man pouring the tea stood beside him with a smile on his face, very proud.

Ushige was slowly drinking tea in the tea room.

From time to time, he chatted with the two guys in the tea room and learned something.

The largest tea seller selling Qingxin tea in Snow Mountain is surnamed Li and is called Li Tongshen.

He is over 60 years old, and he is still very energetic.

The guys of the Snow Mountain Tea House heard Li Tongshen himself say that he had been a servant of Princess Gaoyang of the Tang Dynasty, and he was also a shareholder of the "Flower Moon Inn" in Chang'an City, and he made a lot of money by selling Snow Mountain Qingxin Tea.

Every time Li Tongshen came to the Snow Mountain Tea House, he came with 30 carriages and more than 100 armed guards, and he could earn 10,000 taels of gold once he went back and forth to Datang.

According to the previous time, Li Tongshen will come to the Snow Mountain Tea House in a few days to pull goods.

After Wu Chongzhen finished drinking tea, he went to the shop that sold tea and spent three taels of gold to buy three boxes of Snow Mountain Qingxin Tea from Wu Daodao, and left the Snow Mountain Tea House.

He felt dizzy as he walked a short distance.

The man fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

When he woke up, his hands and feet were chained, and he was in a large underground chamber.

Inside, there are several torches stuck in the walls.

There were dozens of young and beautiful young women in the secret room.

Like him, their hands and feet were chained, and some of them had scars on their bodies.

Everyone had cried, and the look on their faces was very frightened.

"Haha, exactly forty, in a few days when Boss Li comes over, he will sell them to Datang!"

Outside the iron door of the secret room, someone was talking.

Wu Zhongzhen listened to the voice of the speaker outside, and was sure that this person was the guy who poured tea for himself in the tea room.

"Brother, let's go up to the boss and get the reward!"

Someone else was calling outside.

Hearing this, Wu Chongzhen was sure that this secret room was just below the Snow Mountain Tea House.

"Okay, let's go up!"

The previous man responded.

Two people left.

Inside the secret room, some of the girls began to cry loudly.

Caused a cry.

"This sister, what is this place?"

Wu Zhongzhen asked a girl next to him who was taller than him.

"This is a devil's cave!"

She replied with a look of horror and a trembling body.

"The Demon Cave? Why do you call it the Demon Cave?"

Ushige asked her again.

When Wu Daode saw a young and beautiful woman coming to buy tea, he asked his men to do tricks in the tea, and then robbed him and locked him up here, and when Li Tongshen came, he sold it to the Tang Dynasty with the Snow Mountain Qingxin Tea, and sold it to rich people for a lot of money! You say this is not a devil's cave, but what is it?"

She burst into tears.

"Sister, don't cry, I'll take everyone out!"

Wu Chongzhen immediately comforted her.

"How can we escape, with our hands and feet chained and locked in a secret room underground?"

She hugged Wu Chongzhen and cried.

Wu Chongzhen is not too afraid, the tea seller Li Tongshen will not come in a few days, and the little bell in the palace will definitely send someone to check on the Snow Mountain Tea House when he sees that he has not returned.

After a while, someone came down and opened the iron door.

"You come out!"

The two men who came in from the Snow Mountain Tea Farm pulled a beautiful woman out and relocked the iron door.

"What are you going to do?"

The woman's frightened cry was heard outside the door.

"Our boss wants you to go up and drink with him at noon!"

Someone opened the chains on her hands and feet.

"I'm not going!"

The woman struggled and shouted.

"If you don't go, you have to go!"

The two men grabbed her and dragged her up.

When she was sent back, she was disheveled, and she seemed to have been bullied by Wu Daodao, the owner of the Snow Mountain Tea Estate.

As soon as the girl was thrown in, she said to everyone, "He's not a human, he's a monster!" and she slammed her head on the stone wall of the secret room and committed suicide.

There was a cry from inside the chamber.

Wu Chong really saw this scene, and he was also chilled, this Wu Daode was ruthless, and he lost his conscience, which was simply inferior to a pig and a dog.

He couldn't help but have some worries in his heart.

The little bell who was Wu Chongzhen waited in the palace until the afternoon, and when he didn't see Wu Chongzhen come back, he and the palace guard commander Ubatu took thirty palace guards with knives out of the palace to search the Snow Mountain Tea House.

The group left the palace and went straight to the Snow Mountain Tea House.

Little Suzuko and Ubatu walked in front, followed by thirty palace guards.

When they arrived in front of the Snow Mountain Tea House, the people drinking tea in the tea room immediately walked away in fright.

Wu Daodao, the owner of the Snow Mountain Tea House, was in the shop selling tea, and when he saw the eldest prince and the palace guard commander Ubatu coming with the palace guards, he put the golden abacus in his hand on the counter and immediately walked out of the shop.

"Wu Daode greets His Royal Highness the Great Prince!"

He immediately knelt down in front of the little bell and bowed.

"Wu Daodao, you get up!"

Suzuko beckoned to him and told him to get up.

"His Royal Highness the Great Prince!"

Wu Daode was obese and took a lot of effort to stand up.

"Wu Daodao, in recent days, many rich people have entered the palace to complain to the king, saying that their daughters came to the Snow Mountain Tea House to buy tea and have not returned home, as if they are missing, are they arrested by you?"

Ubatu asked him with a majestic expression.

"Commander Wu, what are you talking about? I, Wu Daodao, is doing a legitimate business, only selling Snow Mountain Qingxin Tea, and everyone in the neighborhood knows it, what do you mean by me arresting them?"

When Ubatu heard Ubatu's words, Udaode asked indignantly.

"Wu Daodao, those girls all came to your Snow Mountain Tea House to buy tea, and then they disappeared, Snow Mountain Tea House can't get out of it!"

Ubatu shouted at him.

"His Royal Highness the eldest prince, Wu has been wronged!"

Wu Daode shouted at Xiao Lingzi with a look of grievance.

"Boss Wu, we are here to search the Snow Mountain Tea House on the order of the king, if you want to get rid of the suspicion, you must take the initiative to cooperate, let us go in and search!"

With a slight smile on her face, Suzuko told him calmly.

The expression is relaxed, as if it is in the office.

Wu Daode said loudly: "Wu Mou didn't do anything wrong, don't shoot and search!" He walked to the gate on the other side, opened the gate of the courtyard, and shouted to the little bell and Ubatu: "His Royal Highness, Commander Wu, please!"

"Brothers, go in and search!"

Ubatu yelled behind him.

"Yes, Commander!"

The thirty palace guards with knives in the back obeyed the order, pulled out their single knives, and rushed into the Snow Mountain Tea House.

Inside the Snow Mountain Tea Farm is a very large courtyard, surrounded by living rooms, warehouses and workshops.

The guards burst inside and began to carefully search the house.

Little Suzuko and Ubatu walked into the courtyard.

Wu Daodao, the owner of the Snow Mountain Tea House, followed behind the two.

There was no one but the living room, and there were people working in the treasury and workshop, and those people were a little nervous when they saw the palace guards come in and search.

Thirty palace guards with knives searched the inside, but found nothing, and finally gathered together in the courtyard.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Great Prince, Commander Wu, there is nothing in it!"

The leader of the guards came and reported to the two of them.
