Chapter 38 Slender Horse
The emperor's ruthlessness and cruelty were fully revealed, but Lu Xuechao could hear a trace of undetectable trembling and fear in it.
Lu Xuechao closed her eyes, feeling a little heavy in her heart.
Naturally, Xie Chongjin wasn't afraid of these two young men.
They had made a comprehensive plan before, waiting for their accomplices to come to the door at night, and then the hidden guards would capture everyone in one fell swoop and interrogate them severely.
It was unexpected and reasonable that Xie Chongjin killed these two people directly.
——Just hearing that those two were going to kill him, Xie Chongjin killed them, completely out of instinct.
Lu Xuechao is the person Xie Chongjin wanted to protect all his life since he was a child.But in countless past lives, Lu Xuechao was killed by players countless times, and Xie Chongjin has never been able to successfully protect him once.
In my mind, I desperately resisted, prayed, hated, and despaired, and my body could only remain uncontrollably indifferent, witnessing Lu Xuechao die again and again.
Protecting Lu Xuechao and killing the people who harmed Lu Xuechao were probably Xie Chongjin's cry that resounded countless times in his heart, engraved with countless beliefs, boiled with hatred countless times, and rehearsed it in his mind countless times.
It was only when he was finally able to control himself that the movement of the knife was so fast and proficient.
I just want to protect him and prevent him from suffering any more harm.
He should have thought of it earlier.
Lu Xue thought to herself.
Huaiyun is a very kind and responsible person. When he saw Yunluo being trafficked when he was young, he had to rescue and investigate thoroughly. He destroyed the entire dark industrial chain and rescued countless people.Seeing injustice on the road, draw your sword to help, and the righteousness is as thin as the sky.
It doesn't make sense. Now that I saw a black shop, my first reaction was to just sit back and ignore it, just to tell him not to approach it. I never thought that there would be other victims, and he had to remind him.
Xie Chongjin didn't want to put Lu Xuechao in danger, and his desire to protect him was too strong, so strong that he couldn't think of other people at that time.
Behind such a strong desire to protect, there are countless regret scars caused by failing to protect him.
What Xie Chongjin is most afraid of is that something will happen to Lu Xuechao, because he is always too late to protect him.
If there is time, his actions will definitely be very fast.
like now.
Seeing that Lu Xuechao remained silent for a long time, Xie Chongjin thought that he had frightened him, so his tone became calm and gentle: "Qingshu, it's okay."
"I won't let anything happen to you." Xie Chongjin comforted Lu Xuechao, and repeated almost to himself, "I will absolutely, absolutely never let anything happen to you again."
Lu Xuechao leaned against his chest, hugged his waist with both hands, and comforted him in turn: "I know, you protect me very well, I'm fine at all."
So, don't be afraid.
Being comforted by Lu Xuechao's gentle tone, Xie Chongjin gradually calmed down.
This scene is actually a bit strange.It seemed that Lu Xuechao was the one who was comforted, but in fact it was Xie Chongjin who was really comforted.
They hugged and leaned on each other, which was the greatest comfort to each other.
"My lord, people outside have been arrested—" Shadow raised the torch and opened the curtain, and when he entered the door, he saw two corpses lying on the ground, and the lord was holding the lord in his arms, "...It's over. Waiting for your disposal. "
I don't know if the dog's table can squeeze a hidden guard.
Lu Xuechao said, "Go out and have a look."
-
Candles were lit in the lobby, and there were several tied-up people kneeling, all with bitter expressions on their faces.
What happened to Da Zhuang and the monkey?Didn't it mean that there were only two people in this batch?Why did they get arrested by dozens of men in black who appeared out of nowhere as soon as they arrived?
It couldn't be that the group of men in black were so black that they blended into the night, so Da Zhuang and the monkey were blind and didn't see it, right?
It's no wonder that Da Zhuang and Hou Zi were careless. They were afraid of provoking people they shouldn't have in this business.Officials don't dare to touch them, and those who are accompanied by a large group of guards are also directly let go.
But Lu Xuechao and Xie Chongjin are too low-key, they look like the kind of rich and noble sons, and they go out together without even a guard, who will they kill?
No normal person would have thought of the existence of a hidden guard.The main reason is that normal people don't know how to keep dark guards, and raising a guard is considered a rich family.
The secret guards are specially provided by the royal family and cannot be accessed by ordinary people.
Several people complained endlessly.These men in black are well-trained, they beg for mercy or inquire, but no one pays any attention to them at all, and they don't know where the other side is coming from.
Just when I couldn't figure it out, I saw two people coming out of the curtain.
Under the dim candlelight, their faces were dazzling, as if even the room was brightened.
Several people were dumbfounded, they didn't think there would be such a good-looking person in the world, and they would be a couple as soon as they appeared.
Especially the one in white clothes, with stunning beauty and weak willows supporting the wind, if you look at it by the standard of a thin horse, it is unparalleled in the world, and the most famous thin horse in Yunzhou is not as beautiful as this.
Before they could recover from this breathtaking face, they saw the man in black who ignored them no matter how they behaved just now, quickly knelt down and called out in unison: "My lord, my lord."
A few people shuddered, frightened by the battle.
This time it really hit the iron plate.
What kind of people would use this name?They can't imagine.
They should be thankful that the hidden guards are uniformly called "Lord" and "Master". If they call "Your Majesty" and "His Royal Highness", these few people should be scared to death.
Xie Chongjin said lightly: "Interview."
The secret guards have their own methods of torture. There are no torture tools at the moment, and just cutting tendons and bones is enough for a person to drink a pot.
These people are not tough, and the dark guard just broke a person's wrist, and the other side cried bitterly, and explained everything he knew.
……
There are many wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is popular to raise "skinny horses".
Thin horses do not refer to thin and weak horses. They are traffickers who buy or abduct some young girls, train them according to their appearance and qualifications, or learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or learn financial management, or learn cooking and embroidery. When they are 16 years old, they will take out Go to auction and bid for a good price.If the qualifications are good, they will be concubines for rich merchants. If they are not qualified enough, and no rich merchants can buy them, they will be sold to brothels as prostitutes.Because Changli regarded thinness and frailty as beauty, these men were often kept thin on purpose, and they were called "thin horses".
This bad habit was first owned by the Yelang state, and they traded young girls there.People in Changli have different aptitudes from them, but their human nature is the same, and if there is demand, there will be business.Because it is 16 years old to bid for the auction, it is not considered a violation of the law.
There are thin horses looking for pleasure, lusting for pleasure, and accepting pleasure, but their fate is the same miserable. They are treated as playthings, and they learn various skills to increase their social status. They are similar to the young prostitutes in flower houses. In the end, all the money they earn goes to human traffickers pocket.
Raising lean horses is a lucrative industry in the south of the Yangtze River, especially in Quling, Yunzhou, and Quancheng. Among them, Yunzhou lean horses are the most famous.Qiuling Town belongs to Quling, and this kind of industry also exists.
It turns out that there are still a few thin horses.Most people are unwilling to sell their children unless they are too poor to support them. Many human traffickers will take risks because of this, abducting and robbing children.It's a capital offense, but if it's profitable, someone will do it.If you really succeed, whether you are a slave or a prostitute, it is the life of an inferior person. Who would bother to trace the origin of an inferior person?
In recent years, the disasters in the south of the Yangtze River have affected the rich and wealthy businessmen, but they are not making as much money as before, and the unscrupulous ones will even take the opportunity to raise food prices.People were so poor that they couldn't help but sell their sons or voluntarily sell themselves more, and more robbers burned, killed and looted.
The burly man who died was called Da Zhuang, and the tall thin man was called Hou Zi. They were brothers. Their house was washed away by the flood, and they were so hungry that they killed people and ate human flesh. act.
Those who can pass by here are either refugees in exile or businessmen doing business.The former was yellow and emaciated and penniless, so he was killed to make meat buns, and the two brothers still thought they were meat.The latter often bring a batch of goods, and after killing people, they rob money and goods, which can be described as a bumper harvest.In the barren mountains and mountains, it is very convenient to kill and bury corpses.
The two brothers took the robbed goods to the town to sell the stolen goods. They heard that being a robber is not a good thing, and selling people as skinny horses is the big money.
At present, there are natural and man-made disasters, public order is in disorder, and the government is useless.Many villains choose to be human traffickers, abducting and selling young and beautiful men, and selling them as ready-made skinny horses.Naturally, the quality is not as good as the ones cultivated since childhood. The skinny horse industry is full of sham horses nowadays, but there are always buyers who are not picky, and if one is sold, it will be a huge profit.
The two brothers were moved, but because they had no connections, they were impatient and incapable of abducting a child and raising it from an early age, so they selected the handsome ones from the passing guests, and contacted the traffickers in the town to sell them.The most profitable ones are the human traffickers, who are at best a source of goods.
Although Hou Zi and Da Zhuang didn't see Xie Chongjin and Lu Xuechao's face during the day, they had a good demeanor, and they could sell them for a good price, so they immediately contacted the traffickers in the town.
The few human traffickers knew that they had offended someone who shouldn't be offended, and cried with snot and tears: "You two young masters, please forgive me. We are also desperate. We have no choice but to kill anyone..."
"Those two people murdered people, robbed money, and made buns made of human flesh. You know that too?" Xie Chongjin said coldly, "Is there no other choice but to help the evildoers if they don't report what they know?"
The trafficker murmured: "It's not uncommon for people to eat when they change their sons these days. What kind of official do you report for eating a person..."
Xie Chongjin took a deep breath, closed his eyes unbearably, and clenched the armrest of the chair with his fingers, the veins on the back of his hand were prominent.
Yujing is bustling and charming, the wine and meat of the wealthy family are smelly, and the road is frozen to death, but I don't know... It's so tragic.
One person cannibalizing human flesh is the heinous crime of this person.
Ten thousand people cannibalizing human flesh is the heinous crime of the monarch of this country.
Lu Xuechao's expression also changed when he heard the words, noticing Xie Chongjin's mood swings, fearing that Xie Chongjin would blame him for it again, he immediately said: "Let's go to Qiuling Town, take these people with us, and report to the authorities tomorrow."
He wanted to see how the local officials in Quling governed.
The two wiped out the officials in Yujing, but Changli's territory is so large that many places are far away from the emperor, and there are places they can't control.
It's time to take care of it too.
When the traffickers heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.
It is not enough to deal with them privately.The local officials in Quling have been busy entertaining the imperial envoys sent by the imperial court recently, how can they have the time to care about their trivial matters?
