"He is still in business?" Fang Baiyu asked curiously.

"Didn't Lord Fang go to talk to Master Zhang about business? In fact, they are all small businesses, not worth mentioning. Tan De knew that he was speechless and stopped talking.

It's weird, Fang Baiyu heard Scribe Zhang talk about human teeth before, could it be that he is actually the one who traffics in human beings.

No, it should be dangerous, Fang Baiyu used to treat Zhang Shushi as Baidu, and wanted him to help find someone. But if the matter of the missing person has something to do with him, then he may have bad intentions when he asks him to go to the Garden of Solitude.

The Pu knife he borrowed from Tan De had already been returned to him, and Fang Baiyu saw that there was a wooden stick not far away, so he hurriedly took two steps and took it in his hand.

"Lord Fang, what are you doing?" Tan De was startled by the young man's movements.

"I'm scared to meet dogs again. "Fang Baiyu knew that there was really danger, and the insatiable combination was unreliable.

"Lord Fang has arrived. Wu Yan walked in front of the three people, and he suddenly stopped, and in front of him was a slum.

"Wow. "The houses are in ruins, the doors of every house are closed, and the only thing is the barking of wild dogs that come from nowhere?

"Lord Fang, look, below is the Lonely Courtyard. Below is a slope, a pile of dilapidated houses clustered around a large mansion, Wu Yan pointed to the mansion and said.

"I thought it was a mass grave. Fang Baiyu thought that the orphanage should be the kind of place where the windows were bright and clean, and there were many aunts in it, what the hell is this place.

"The children in the lonely house are all poor cubs, and their parents can't afford or don't want to raise them, so they throw the children here, and the yamen has sent two people to take charge of this place, and they come every day to clean and bring them food, and Zhang Shuyi is in charge of this matter. From Tan De's mouth, Fang Bai Yu knew about the relationship between Scribe Zhang and the Lonely House.

"Let's go down. "Tonight's sky is full of sun and moon, and by this time it is already a little difficult to see the way forward, Wu Yan found a wooden stick to make a torch, and he slowly walked down the slope.

The three of them walked all the way down, the huts next to the lonely courtyard were obviously deserted, Fang Baiyu didn't notice any signs of human activity around, he and the two servants walked all the way to the mansion.

"Bang bang. Tan had to go up and knock on the door.

"Who?" said a big man with a beard on his face.

"Lao Jiu, this is the new Lord Fang in the yamen, and Lord Zhang asked him to come here to meet. Tan De seemed to know him.

"Come in, Master Zhang has been waiting for you for a long time. The big man stepped aside, and everyone entered the courtyard.

"It's so fragrant. As soon as he entered the yard, Fang Baiyu smelled a pungent fragrance, and he also saw the source of the aroma, which was a sheep, a roasted whole sheep.

"Brother Fang, look here, there are friends and wine here. The scribe was on a stone bench, with a whole sheep roasted on the fire in front of him, and a jar of freshly opened wine at hand.

"It's a pity we're not friends. "This is a lonely house, but Fang Baiyu didn't see a child.

"It's up to you to decide if you're a friend or not. Zhang Shuren clapped his hands, the door of the side room opened, and a person came out of it holding a sack

Come.

This is also a big man, but he is a bald man, and the bald man walked up to the scribe Zhang and put down the sack.

"Is this the person you want?" Zhang Shuren reached out and untied the bag, and inside was a young girl with her hands and feet tied.

"Really. "Fang Baiyu didn't expect it to be really in the hands of Scrivener Zhang.

"Brother Fang, the friend I mentioned before is actually me. Zhang confessed that he was a human trafficker.

"Can you let her go back with me?" Where are the children in the lonely courtyard? Are the other missing girls also in the hands of Scrivener Zhang? These questions were suppressed by Fang Baiyu in his heart, and he kept reminding himself that he was dreaming and having nightmares now.

"No, she's my cargo. Zhang Shuzhi smiled slightly, and took out a dagger from his arms.

The dagger emitted a cold light, and Fang Baiyu couldn't help but take a step back.

"Don't be nervous, Brother Fang, I won't kill you. The whole sheep was already roasted, and the mutton fat dripped on the pine branches, and the aroma was even stronger, and the scribe Zhang cut off a piece of mutton with a dagger and put it in his mouth.

"Why?" This may be a stupid question, but Fang Baiyu still wants to ask.

"Because we are the same people, the poor. Zhang Shuyi used the dagger to cut off a piece of mutton again, and this time he handed the dagger to Fang Baiyu.

"Adults are also from a bitter background?" the young man took the dagger.

"It's more bitter than you think, I'm a kid who grew up in a lonely house. Zhang Shuren picked up the wine jar and took a sip.

"Uh. Fang Baiyu's expression was a little sarcastic, since you are very bitter, why do you want to make others more bitter?

"I have too many children in my family, I am the fifth, and my family can't afford to support them, so I was sent to a lonely home. Zhang Shuren smiled and said, "Before I came, I thought this was heaven, because I heard that the children in the lonely house can eat enough." ”

"I didn't expect this to be hell, the yamen sent us a meal every day, a soup made of old grain from the official warehouse and rotten vegetables and leaves, so we still couldn't eat. "The faces of the middle-aged people are full of painful memories.

"Doesn't the government let the children have enough to eat?" Fang Baiyu said perfunctorily, but secretly thinking about a way out, he had to escape from here.

"Of course, the government's budget is sufficient, but it is not enough, because there are too many people who are greedy for ink, there are more people and less food, every time we put food is when we children fight, I am the small one in that wave of children, but I can eat enough every time, do you know why?"

"Because you're tougher than everyone else. Fang Baiyu didn't know how to say this.

"Not bad. Zhang Shuren clapped his hands and laughed: "Men don't hate to stand unstable, those kind children are starving to death, their bodies are dragged to feed the dogs, when I first came to the lonely home, there was only one dog, and then there were more and more dogs, because more and more people died of hunger." ”

"Now the adults shouldn't be bitter, right?" Zhang Shuyi smiled like a vicious dog, and Fang Baiyu wanted to persuade him to be kind.

"Later, when I grew up, I didn't have to be in a lonely house anymore, I did a lot of work, shop

Small two, long-term work, account room... "Middle-aged people gradually grow up in memories.

"I do a lot of heavy work every day, and I still don't have a piece of tiles to fit in, do you know, I almost became a son-in-law. Clerk Zhang suddenly changed his words.

"Adults are good men, and of course they didn't get into trouble in the end. Fang Baiyu complimented him slightly.

"It's that I didn't get rich, but it's not that I don't want to, the girl in that family thinks I'm ugly, I don't mind if she's pregnant before marriage, she still thinks I'm ugly. Scribe Zhang stopped laughing, and he stood up.

"Why don't you eat the mutton I gave you, do you also dislike me?" the middle-aged man said to Fang Bai Yu viciously.

"I eat. "There are two big men under the other party's hands, and the insatiable combination has stopped talking since just now, and the young man can only eat mutton under the eaves.

"Ugh. "The mutton smelled fragrant, but the entrance was very fishy, and the scribe did not put salt or other ingredients.

"Hahaha. Having teased Fang Baiyu, Zhang Shushu was very happy, and he continued to talk about his history of struggle.

"I can't rely on my face to eat, I can only rely on myself, the root of all my misfortunes is because I have no money, so I want to do business, but what kind of business?" the middle-aged man clapped his hands and asked himself: "Of course it's a human business." ”

This was told to me by a Persian merchant who said that women and children were the most profitable business, and I listened to him and began to abduct women and children to sell. Zhang Shuyi's words made Fang Baiyu cry and laugh, no culture kills people, is this sentence so understood?

"And then I succeeded, you see the world is full of people, my business will never run out of stock, and there will be no shortage of buyers. "Scrivener Zhang's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, and to some extent he has indeed succeeded.

"I used the money I earned to buy a petty official, and the county lord handed over the lonely house to me, and those children were sold by me, and the lonely house became my stronghold, and Lao Jiu and Wang Dong became my helpers. The middle-aged man told all the secrets in one go.

"You don't have to talk to me so much, give her to me, and I can keep my mouth shut. Fang Baiyu didn't understand why Zhang Shuyi was talking to him about this?

"You joined the Yue family for money, right? I heard that the young lady of the Yue family is average-looking, are you very depressed? Scribe Zhang pulled Zhenzhen out of the sack.

There were white flowers in front of her, the girl was only wearing a small dress, she looked very weak, of course Fang Baiyu knew the reason.

"Let her go back with me, can't you see that she is dying?" Zhenzhen's body in reality has not entered the water and rice for two days, and now that the last node has also appeared, Fang Baiyu can't wait to leave.

"She is indeed sick, it seems that she can't sell it, so Brother Fang will do it here. Scribe Zhang's smile was meaningful.

"What to do?" As soon as Fang Baiyu finished speaking, a burst of laughter rang out around him.

"Hahahaha... Not only were Zhang Shu's two helpers, but even Tan De and Wu Yan were laughing.

"You beasts!" Fang Baiyu understood what they meant, young men are sometimes beasts, but no beasts have reached this point.

“

Women, just play and have fun, you have fun while she still has a hot breath, and everyone will be friends in the future. Zhang Shuyi pushed Zhenzhen into Fang Baiyu's arms, and he said that he could start performing.

Teacher Guo found the fourth node, with a wooden stick picked up on the road in his waist and a dagger in his hand, but with them, he couldn't put this wicked man in the courtyard, Fang Baiyu called the mysterious man with his mind.

"You have to bring her back to Yue's Mansion, and I can only do it if the four nodes are together. This time, Mr. Guo's reply was very fast, which was also very disappointing.

"Isn't it too excited to get tough? It's okay, I have medicine. Zhang sneered and took out a small medicine bottle from his sleeve.
