"Hero, spare your life!" Huzi opened his mouth and shouted, his crystal eyes sparkling, innocent and pitiful.

Lin Jing felt more and more funny, and pretended to be serious: "Tell me, who bullied you." ”

Huzi said with a bitter face: "You have a big fist, you are the boss, what you say is what you say, Huzi I admit it today." ”

Lin Jing couldn't help laughing, and the two of them were telling jokes, which made Lin Jing feel more and more in love with this little beggar.

When he was full of food and tea, Lin Jingcai asked, "Since you are a local, do you know what is interesting around here?"

Huzi touched his bulging belly and said lazily: "It's not those places that come and go, in fact, except for Lingtai Mountain and the Painting Garden, there is really nothing attractive nearby." ”

Lin Jing asked casually: "I heard that the Taoist temple on Lingtai Mountain is one of the Taoist temples with the longest history, and there must be a lot of Taoist masters there." ”

Huzi pursed his lips: "Those bulls are big liars, as Taoist priests, they can be so full of belly, I don't know how much sesame oil money is greedy behind them." ”

Although she said this, there was a sour taste in her words, and she was obviously envious of these deceitful bulls.

Lin Jing couldn't hold back a smile and said, "Then I don't know who are the masters in the view." ”

Although Huzi is a little beggar, he knows a lot of things, and his thinking is extremely clear, and he said: "There is a presiding over the clearing of the name, and the elders are all a generation younger than him, Jingkong, Jinggen, and Jingxiang are all masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm, and the others are disciples, so it is useless to know." ”

Lin Jing picked up the teacup, put it to his lips, and asked, "A few masters want to come and serve from a young age, aren't they young?" ”

Huzi directly picked up the teapot and poured it to his mouth, and then let out a long sigh of comfort, and said: "It's not, Jing Xiang is an apprentice on behalf of Qing Ming's junior disciple, and he has only been in the temple for eight years, but Qing Ming said that he has a Taoist root, which is very important, and the daily affairs of the Taoist temple are handed over to him to take care of." ”

Eight years into the view! Lin Jing's eyes flashed with an undetectable gleam: It seems that it is him.

After that, Lin Jing asked some questions that didn't hurt or itch, just like a real out-of-town tourist.

When the three of them left the inn, Lin Jing suddenly said, "You are too young to make ends meet, have you ever thought about what your plans are in the future?"

Huzi was about to leave, but he was slightly stunned when he heard Lin Jing's words, and then shook his head and said, "What else can I do? When I grow up, I will go out and break in, and I will have to get a mansion." ”

Lin Jing hesitated for a while, and said with a smile: "I have some silver taels here, although it is not much, but it is enough for you to buy a small house, and in the future, you will have tiles to cover your head, and you can be regarded as a family person, and the rest can be used for some camp life." ”

As he spoke, he was about to reach into his arms and take out the money bag, although Xue Butong spent a lot of gold ingots, but the rest may not be earned even if an ordinary family works hard for a lifetime.

Huzi suddenly panicked, hurriedly grabbed Lin Jing's hand, and said with a smile: "No, no, if you don't have a family, how can you come home?" And don't look at me as a beggar, but I am also a beggar with backbone, not this kind of person who reaches out to ask for money. If you do this again, you will look down on me. ”

Zun Wuyi couldn't help but sneer, Lin Jing was also slightly stunned, as a beggar, isn't it your duty to reach out and beg for money?

Huzi didn't allow him to say, and shook his hand in a panic: "Let's say goodbye, goodbye to the rivers and lakes." ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked into the crowd, and for some reason he felt a little deserted and fled.

Lin Jing was still a little confused, but when he saw him disappear into the crowded streets, he was somehow psychologically empty and a little lost.

"Forget it, goodbye to the rivers and lakes. Lin Jing sighed lightly, turned his head and saw the villains chasing Huzi passing by.

With a move in his heart, he may be able to help Huzi teach these wicked people a lesson, so as not to trouble him in the future.

Lin Jing approached slowly, but he didn't want to, and heard one of them sigh and say, "That damn beggar stole our young lady's hosta, and now no one can find it, how should we go back to the errand." Don't let me see that thief again, or I'll have to skin him. ”

Lin Jing suddenly stopped, a little surprised, and reached out to touch the position of the money bag in his arms.

Lin Jing's movements froze suddenly, and Zun Wuyi finally couldn't help but laugh, his money bag was gone!

And when those evil-looking men saw Lin Jing suddenly stand in front of them, they all looked at him a little strangely, but when they saw his dull expression, they immediately bypassed, thinking that they had touched a fool.

Lin Jing stood still and opened his mouth, no wonder, how could there be a beggar who didn't want money, it turned out that he had already stolen his money bag. I was kind enough to help him.

Lin Jing turned his head suddenly, but where could he still find that hateful little figure.

"How can this be reasonable, wolf heart and dog lungs!" Lin Jing felt that there was a nameless fire burning in his chest, looking at his increasingly ugly face, Zun Wuyi smiled more and more unscrupulously, patted Lin Jing on the shoulder and said, "That little guy really has a hand, he can actually steal silver in your arms." Admire, admire!"

Lin Jing's face was blue and white for a while, if he didn't have an inexplicable sense of affection for the little beggar and had no vigilance, where would he let a thief succeed.

However, Zun Wuyi laughed for a while, and suddenly saw Lin Jing calm down, stomped his right foot calmly, glanced at her, and said: "Fortunately, after suffering losses before, I remembered A-Niang's teachings, and sure enough, A-Niang will always be so prescient." ”

Zun Wuyi instantly stopped laughing, and glanced at his right foot blankly: "You still have the silver hidden here, when did you hide it, why don't I know?"

"I'm going to keep at least a little secret, and don't think you know everything. Lin Jing snorted proudly, and walked to the Zhiming Building across the street with his head held high.

"You're not right, is that all there is to trust between people? I'm so disappointed in you, I'm so disappointed in the world. Zun Wuyi Lian moved lightly and followed in protest......

The original business of Zhiminglou is not a talent list, the main business here is intelligence, information on all legal things, such as the appearance of secret treasures and the traces of evil demons.

Usually, it will also provide convenience for some people who are in trouble to recruit masters, or issue tasks, of course, hiring murderers will not appear in the Zhiming Building, so the business in this area of the black market outside will not be robbed.

When a shopkeeper saw Lin Jing, he immediately walked up with a smile and said, "This son, I don't know how I can help you." ”

The building is quite spacious and bright, and most of the people who come here are people from the rivers and lakes, but there are also a lot of people who look like housekeepers, Lin Jing quickly looked around, and said, "Inquire about the news." ”

"Guest, please. Hearing this, the man said sideways.

The two sat down at a corner chair table, away from the others, and after a maid served tea, the man asked, "I wonder what the guest wants?"

"I heard that there are often young girls and children missing in this area recently, I don't know if there is such a thing?" Lin Jing did not directly inquire about the Lingtai Temple, anyway, he knew about it from the little beggar, if there was news of the Lingtai Temple smuggling slaves in the Zhiming Building, no matter how many masters of the Lingtai Temple were, they would not be able to resist the siege of many bitter masters, and they would have closed down a long time ago.

The guy smiled slightly: "This matter is not a secret, you can also inquire outside, the price is relatively cheap, only ten dollars." ”

You can ask outside, you dare to charge ten money? Lin Jing slandered in his heart, and Zun Wuyi shouted directly: "Bully someone, beat him." ”

Lin Jing couldn't help but roll her eyes, and took out a tael of silver from his boots under the strange gaze of the guy and put it on the table.

The guy immediately retracted his stunnedness, continued to maintain a professional smile and said, "Please wait a moment." ”

The man picked up the silver, entered a room, and after a few moments came out again, handing Lin Jing a money bag full of copper coins and a stack of papers.

Lin Jing put away the money bag and took the papers to look at them one by one.

In fact, the slave trade is protected by national law, and only some people who break the law or offend a certain class will become slaves, of course, those whose parents are slaves are born slaves, and these slaves can be bought and sold freely, and no one will care about the torture and killing.

But if it is to kidnap good people for no reason and persecute them into slavery, it is a crime.

Of course, the law always protects the upper class, and a master of the Heavenly and Human Realm casually takes a fancy to a woman from a good family and takes her into slavery, and the bitter master cannot resist, and it is the same when he arrives at the Yamen.

Therefore, eighty percent of the slaves in the family of wealthy businessmen and officials were obtained illegally, after all, the mortality rate of slaves was too high, and there was a huge demand for good-looking female slaves, and they could not meet the demand without being plundered by the people.

However, even if some traffickers have a large backrest, they are still listed as the target of pursuit and crackdown, not for anything else, because these traffickers not only kidnap good people, but also pay attention to the young lady of your family.

No matter how good the folk women are, how many of them can compare to the noble lady?

Particularly hostile forces, or the magnates of the same circle, preferred this kind of noble lady to know more, so that the profits of such businesses were often thousands of times more than that of ordinary slave trade.

And the danger has increased a thousandfold and a hundredfold.

The disappearance of people in the vicinity of Lingtai City is this kind of trade.

Originally, there were not many disappearances near the Lingtai, but in the past seven or eight years, it has become more and more common for the young lady of the master and the children of which sect to suddenly disappear, and now, there are already six masters of scattered cultivation in the realm of heaven and man, five local families, and three sects have been affected, not counting those family sects that are not in the first column, which shows the rampant nature of this group of human traffickers.

The paper lists in detail the disappearances of the children of various famous families, and as for those who have good faces, they have not been made public, and the disappearances of ordinary people are just a simple summary: the missing people, aged eight to thirty, are all women with outstanding appearance.
