Chapter 73： It's all in one pot (plus more)

Chapter 73 It's all in one pot (plus more)

Chang'an felt bitter, but Chang'an couldn't say it.

Resigned to their fate, they worked together with Yang Xiaotao for almost two quarters of an hour, and the two of them gathered all the confessions of the eleven people, including the black-hearted matchmaker, to Ye Anlan and Li Jing.

"That's right, it's already very detailed." Ye Anlan read the neat calligraphy written by Chang An, secretly envious of each other's craftsmanship, and praised the two of them casually.

Li Jing smiled at the corner of his lips, "It's not too late, why don't we start now?"

Ye Anlan nodded, "Xiao Tao stays here and asks two people to move all the things Ah Jing and I dug out just now back to the inn."

Just now when Yang Xiaotao and Chang An went to interrogate those black-hearted human traffickers, Ye Anlan and Li Jing were not idle either. They rummaged through the two houses belonging to the innkeeper, and put the rice and money that the innkeeper put in the house. The mule carts were all overturned.

Because he had to deliver things to his friends on the mountain frequently, shopkeeper Hou raised three mules and three sturdy wooden carts with carriages in the backyard of one of the houses.

Coupled with the money, rice, medicine, etc. that they hadn't had time to send to the mountain, Ye Anlan and the others really made a lot of money.

***

Yang Xiaotao took Wang Tai, Father Yang, the Zhou brothers, and Pei Huaixiu's master and servant to move things, and Ye Anlan, Li Jing, and Chang An went to the hiding place of the black-hearted traffickers in the town.

The den is the home of the leading toothmaid. She remarried to this Taiyu Town more than 30 years ago. The man died not long after she married, and she has been working as a dentist in Taiyu Town with her son.

Of course, this is just her earning a living on the surface. Secretly, this woman has been doing all kinds of illegal activities.

Few of the slaves sold from her came from legitimate sources and could stand the inspection of others.

Ye Anlan and the others relied on their skills to catch the other traffickers guarding the prostitute's house by surprise.

They sneaked over the wall and entered the matchmaker's house, and gave priority to dealing with the traffickers who were guarding the "goods".

"Come out, you are already free." Opening the door, Ye Anlan greeted the poor "goods" who were locked in two utility rooms like pigs in a low voice.

Those men, women, old and children who had been frightened by the traffickers did not dare to move. The only two people who responded to Ye Anlan's words were the two teenagers who were locked in the room on Ye Anlan's left.

One of the teenagers looked about her age, with a bruised nose and a swollen face that could not be seen clearly. He had been beaten a lot since he was caught, but there was a clear refusal to admit defeat in this kid's eyes. Not convinced by traffickers.

He has a slender figure, and looking at the material of his clothes, Ye Anlan guessed that this kid should come from a wealthy family with a good family background.

He stood up with great effort, walked across to Ye Anlan, and looked at Ye Anlan against the dazzling light outside the door.

Ye Anlan tilted her head—what are you looking at me for?

The child seemed to see through her doubts, he opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse, "Where are those bad guys?"

Ye Anlan felt that this child was interesting, she took out the dried meat and coarse grain pancakes that Mrs. Li had hurriedly stuffed into her hands, "Do you want to eat?"

The child nodded, then took the jerky and pancakes and ate them in big mouthfuls.

Ye Anlan was afraid that he would choke, so she signaled Changan to get him some water.

Changan: .

Chang An resigned himself to his fate and went to work, but Li Jing focused his attention on the second young man who responded.

The man had regular facial features and a pine-like posture. Although he was a little weak due to starvation and injury, he always maintained the good demeanor of his master.

Beside him, lay a young man with a scar on his face, who looked like the son of Lian Jiazi, and another boy who was obviously his servant was biting his chapped and bleeding lips, protecting the boy and the boy nervously. In front of the young man.

This boy looks very ordinary, the kind of face that you throw him into the crowd, and you can't find him out immediately.

"Qingwen, get out of the way." The young master patted his servant on the back, then stood up with difficulty, and bowed to Li Jing and Ye Anlan.

"Pei Huaiyu, thank you all knights"

"Who?" In the middle of the young man's words, Ye Anlan's eyes widened suddenly, "Who do you say you are?"

Pei Huaiyu was taken aback by her suddenly raised volume, "Pei Huaiyu, I don't know"

Ye Anlan raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, "This is really. Fortunately, Ah Jing and I plan to make a big deal, otherwise Huaixiu might miss you forever."

Pei Huaiyu froze slightly, "You said Huaixiu?"

His expression did not change, and his tone when he said the word "Huaixiu" was light and light, but Ye Anlan felt that the weight of these two words in this person's heart might not be enough.

"Yeah, that's the Pei Huaixiu you were thinking of." Ye Anlan didn't have time to tell Pei Huaiyu more, thanks to her voice just now, the other traffickers have already been attracted by the movement here.

Changan stuffed the jug to the young man who was still eating cakes, and then drew out his long sword with his backhand, "My lord."

Li Jing nodded, "Now is not the time to talk, what's the matter, why don't you two talk about it later."

Ye Anlan cast a small apologetic look at him, then drew out her long knife, and went to kill the enemy with Chang An.

To everyone's surprise, the young man who was still eating sullenly before, took a stone bench from local materials, and followed Ye Anlan silently to join the battle group.

Li Jing had also drawn out his sword, but he did not leave the door of the sundry room, but guarded in front of everyone with a strong posture of one man guarding the gate, preventing the traffickers from jumping over the wall and threatening these poor people them.

***

After half a cup of tea, Ye Anlan and the others won the complete victory of the conflict. All the human traffickers staying in this house kindly sent them to Lord Yan to make them pay for all the evil things in their lives. Make atonement.

The screams from some "goods" that echoed in the yard gradually subsided after the battle was completely over.

Ye Anlan didn't pay attention to those who didn't know what they were screaming for, but spoke to the boy very interestedly, "You're good at it, have you practiced?"

The boy glanced at her, then nodded silently.

Ye Anlan was not discouraged, "Can you tell me your name?"

The boy glanced at the other people who had been locked up with him in the utility room, and said nothing.

Ye Anlan understood in seconds, "Then do you want to follow me? I'm very good."

The boy shook his head.

The regret and regret in Ye Anlan's heart were almost overflowing. She sighed, and with a very low volume that only two people could hear, she briefly explained her name, where she came from, where she lived, and where she was going. Facing the boy's expressionless face, he sincerely invited again, "If you are willing to go with us, you are welcome to find me at the inn at any time. Or in case you change your mind in the future, you can also follow the route I just said Go after us."
