Chapter 9: Human Traffickers
The audition lasted for a month, and it was already halfway through. Zuo Yanmu had to hurry up and cultivate, and no matter what, he had to enter the first floor of the cultivation path before going to the audition.
Jinshi has the strength of the second layer of the self-cultivation road, and it seems that the strength above the second layer is the best. Zuo Yanmu didn't know what the so-called qualifications of the disciples of the Yuan Shen Sect were looking at, he felt that he still had to speak with strength.
As always, Zuo Yanmu hid in the firewood room to absorb qi and cultivate. His subordinates are much more honest and will no longer be lazy because Zuo Yanmu has no supervision.
However, Jin Lan didn't see Zuo Yanmu and ran to the firewood room to find him.
No one has yet discovered the identity of Monk Zuo Yanmu, and even the ten family members who were beaten before only knew that Zuo Yanmu was good at kung fu, and did not know Zuo Yanmu's true identity. So every time Jin Lan came to look for it, Zuo Yanmu had to quickly disguise it.
The identity of a monk cannot be revealed casually, especially when the strength is weak. Because other monks will kill people in order to plunder resources, and there is nothing wrong with keeping a low profile.
Zuo Yanmu avoided the suspicion of the master and servant, and led Jin Lan to the uninhabited alley.
"You are Miss Qianjin, I am from the Jin Mansion, let's talk less in the future. Zuo Yanmu left after speaking.
Jin Lan thought that Zuo Yanmu was angry, lost her temper with herself, and felt a sense of loss, so she actually cried.
She has never been angry, and it is really uncomfortable to hear Zuo Yanmu say this. She is not even afraid of being gossiped about by others for Zuo Yanmu, and her father saw it, and she never stopped caring about Zuo Yanmu.
Thinking of her father, Jin Lan remembered her father's disappointed expression that day, and felt very sorry for her father, and she had to do something to make her father happy.
Her first thought was to buy a jade pendant for her father, no matter what mistakes she made before, as long as she gave something, she could be forgiven.
Although she has been warned many times not to run out alone, Jin Lan always rushes out desperately to make her father happy. She is a young lady, and the family does not dare to touch it. She was going out, and no one could stop her except Jinhua and Jinshi.
Jinhua has said many times that there are a lot of bad people out there and you can't run outside. Jin Lan didn't believe it, she had secretly gone out many times and it was fine, with a fluke mentality, she felt that this time it was safe.
In fact, as soon as she went out, she was targeted by traffickers.
The trafficker specializes in capturing yellow flower girls, and female slaves can be sold for a lot of money these days.
As soon as Jin Lan came out of the antique shop, she was forcibly slapped by traffickers.
"You scumbag! I've worked hard to make money, but you've come to buy these broken stones that you can't eat or drink. I'll kill you!" the trafficker pretended to be Jin Lan's husband, and what he said to the onlookers was unspeakably miserable.
Jin Lan was slapped twice, dizzy, and had no strength to defend herself. Later, she was easily taken away by human traffickers, who took her hand, and she was powerless to resist. When the onlookers saw it, they really thought that Jin Lan and the traffickers were a family.
"Look at that woman is so good-looking, she doesn't look like the man's daughter-in-law. An old man was suspicious.
"Where is this clear, a flower is inserted on cow dung, it's all scattered, we can't take care of other people's affairs. Disperse, disperse. The traffickers' helpers took cover, and the crowd walked away.
......
When Zuo Yanmu returned to the firewood room to take his breath, he thought that he shouldn't talk to Jin Lan with such an attitude. He and Jin Lan are nothing, there is no need to hide, what he said before was a bit excessive.
He realized that he had ignored Jin Lan's feelings and thought about going over to apologize. I went to the alley first, but I didn't see anyone, and I couldn't find anyone when I went to Jinlan's room. Zuo Yanmu thought that Jin Lan was angry and deliberately hid himself.
At night, in dreams.
"Master Fox Immortal, is what I said to Jin Lan too much today?" Zuo Yanmu sat at the foot of the big tree.
"It's true that people like you, and you don't politely ask people to stop talking to you. Excessive!" The fox fairy floated in the air, with his back to the left smokewood, very angry.
"Then am I going to go to her again, and what if she doesn't accept my apology?" Zuo Yanmu muttered to himself.
"Don't hesitate any longer, you can either go to her and make it clear, or never associate with her again, as you said yourself. The fox fairy went into the big tree hole to rest, and did not talk to Zuo Yanmu.
Zuo Yanmu leaned against the big tree, thinking about what to say to make Jin Lan feel better.
He woke up in the middle of the night and was ready to go to find Jinran. As soon as he went out, he ran into his subordinates, who were looking for him.
"Why don't you sleep so late?" asked Zuo Yanmu's men.
"Oh, what are you sleeping, everyone in the Jin Mansion got up and went out to find the eldest lady. You're going too. After his subordinates finished speaking, he motioned for Zuo Yanmu to follow.
Zuo Yanmu then thought about why he couldn't find Jin Lan everywhere during the day, it turned out that something had happened. In his heart, he asked the fox fairy master to help find it.
"Are you mistaken, I am your master, you dare to give orders to me!" the fox fairy shouted in Zuo Yanmu's heart.
"My good master, help. If Jin Lan has three long and two short, everyone in the Jin Mansion will have to blame me. I've been so close to her these days that I can't escape. Zuo Yanmu pleaded bitterly.
"In the vast sea of people, how do you tell me to find it?" the fox fairy was very reluctant.
"Master Fox Fairy, your magic power is boundless, and you have a benevolent heart, help the apprentices. Zuo Yanmu knelt down directly, and the people who passed by stopped to watch the play.
"If you don't help, you won't help, don't always rely on me, this time you have to rely on yourself. The fox fairy was silent again, and she went to rest.
Zuo Yanmu was very disappointed, but he didn't have time to kneel here, so he quickly got up and went out over the wall in two steps. The subordinates who watched the play also hurriedly followed, and they also received an order to go out to find the eldest lady.
Men with torches ran out of the gate of the Golden Mansion one after another, and Zuo Yanmu finally saw the huge number of "servant army" of the Golden Mansion.
He subconsciously looked around the corner again, and there was a sneaky person covering his face and running away. Zuo Yanmu hurriedly followed, and after being discovered, the man sped up his escape.
Left Smokewood followed, and was ambushed around another corner, where the man attempted to kill Left Smokewood with a dagger.
Fortunately, Zuo Yanmu reacted quickly, and he countered the enemy and asked about Jin Lan's whereabouts.
This man is a human trafficker, the one who helps to cover during the day. He is responsible for finding out the identity of the trafficked person, and this time he is here to confirm the identity of Jin Lan. He knew that Jin Lan was from the Jin Mansion, and he expected that there would be many people looking for him, so he came to find out the whereabouts of the Jin Mansion's family. After determining the search scope of the Jin Mansion family, he went to transfer Jin Lan and transport Jin Lan out of the city as soon as possible.
Zuo Yanmu let the traffickers lead the way, and he actually went to another Lijiazhuang, this Lijiazhuang is in the west of the city, and the Lijiazhuang where Zuo Yanmu practiced is in the east of the city.
According to the confession of the traffickers who were caught, Zuo Yanmu found that the owner of this Li Jiazhuang was the former owner of Li Jiazhuang, named Li Ming. They moved, moved around, and were still in the Windy City.
Xiaolian died in Lijiazhuang, so this person named Li Ming must be inseparable. Zuo Yanmu felt that things had become confusing, once Xiaolian said that Wang Yuanwai's wife killed her, but why did she die in Lijiazhuang?
Adding the abduction and sale of Jin Lan, it is not difficult to speculate that Li Ming of Lijiazhuang should have caught Xiaolian at the beginning and then sold it to Wang Yuanwai.
is so lawless, careless of human life, even if it is cut with a thousand knives, it will not solve the hatred. The more Zuo Yanmu thought about it, the more upset he became, he carried the trafficker to the outside of the wall of Lijiazhuang, and gave the trafficker one last chance, asking him to tell what he knew.
"Are all the people you kidnapped hand over to Li Ming?" Zuo Yanmu was expressionless and threatened the traffickers with a dagger.
"Yes. The trafficker looked at Zuo Yanmu in horror.
"Is there a master around Li Ming?" asked Zuo Yanmu.
"He has a son named Li Hanzhong, who probably has the strength of the third layer of the Self-cultivation Dao. It is said that he has recently passed the audition and is preparing to participate in the Shenyun trial of the Genshin faction. "The traffickers know everything.
Zuo Yanmu glared fiercely, forcibly holding back and not killing. He felt that there must be some important information to ask.
"Where did Li Ming keep Jin Lan?" Zuo Yanmu gritted his teeth, the dagger in his hand had already cut the skin on the neck of the trafficker.
"There is a dungeon in Lijiazhuang, and I don't know exactly where it is kept. "The traffickers felt the pain and knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Why do you want to do something harmful?" Zuo Yanmu's eyes showed a fierce look.
"I ...... I'm here to survive. The trafficker was about to cry, but when he saw that Zuo Yanmu was soft-hearted, he quickly pushed Zuo Yanmu's hand away.
Zuo Yanmu had long wanted to kill him, the dagger was taken away, and he still had the white steel sword.
The heart moved at will, the aura gushed out, and the white steel sword was instantly held in his hand. Zuo Yanmu did not hesitate to cut the neck of the trafficker and let his blood flow.
The longer it drags on, the more dangerous it becomes. He climbed over the wall and ran carefully, but the housekeepers inside seemed to know that someone was coming, and there was no gap in the patrol team.
Zuo Yanmu waited patiently, and finally found that the two teams were walking in opposite directions. As they walked away with their backs to each other, Zuoyanmu flew with his sword and quickly entered the inner courtyard.
As he flew, shadows streaked across the ground in the moonlight. Someone saw Zuo Yanmu and shouted to catch the thief.
After the left smoke was discovered, he had to land early. Jump into the grove and dodge a wave of pursuit. He opened a window, got into the house, changed into the clothes of the Li family's housekeeper, and came out through another door.
He couldn't see his face clearly at night, so Zuo Yanmu easily blended into the inner courtyard and stumbled into Li Ming's room by mistake.
Li Ming pointed to Zuo Yanmu and scolded Zuo Yanmu for not understanding the rules and daring to break into the owner's room.
Zuo Yanmu listened to the word owner, and the joy blossomed, and sure enough, there was still God's help.
He jumped over and knocked Li Ming, but he didn't expect Li Ming to have two hits and be able to do martial arts. However, for Zuo Yanmu, Li Ming's kung fu is a three-legged cat. Zuo Yanmu has a lot of strength, and Li Ming's bones are about to fall apart.
Then he used the white steel sword on Li Ming's neck, and Li Ming didn't dare to breathe.
"What do you want to do?" Li Ming shrank his neck, as if the fat on his neck could block the white steel sword.
"Put Jin Lan out?" Zuo Yanmu was too lazy to talk nonsense with Li Ming.
"Jin Lan, what Jin Lan?" Li Ming deliberately pretended to be confused, and when he spoke, his eyes were obviously rolling.
Zuo Yanmu kept staring at Li Ming, and he could tell from Li Ming's expression that Li Ming was not honest.
"I like dishonest people like you the most. After speaking, Zuo Yanmu plunged a sword into Li Ming's thigh.
Li Ming's scream in pain soon attracted the family members of Li Jiazhuang. Li Ming's son, Li Hanzhong, also came.
Li Hanzhong could see what was going on inside when he stood outside the door, and he deliberately asked Li Ming in the room if he was okay.
Zuo Yanmu didn't know that there was such a spell as "Heavenly Eye", and thought that it would be enough to have Master Li Ming in his hand.
