Chapter 143: Human Traffickers

Qixia Town is connected to the Changhe River in the north, Yangzhou in the east, and Jiangning in the south, and has the reputation of the first town in the south of the Yangtze River.

And today's imperial court, is in Qixia town set up Jinling Station, great traffic, business travel, so that Qixia Town is prosperous for a while, the merchants from the south to the north are gathered here, trade with each other.

Prosperous places are often places where the poor live, where rich merchants stop, and there are many poor families, in order to make a living, hoping that their children can go to a good businessman's rich family to be subordinates.

Xiao Mo took Yu Niang and Yang Yanqi to walk in the alley of Qixia Town, at the front of the alley, some girls who looked to be only about ten years old were led by their parents, and their eyes were covered with mist and looked at the passers-by.

Yang Yanqi was silent, when she heard Xiao Mo say that she wanted to buy a maid in the morning, she kept her current appearance, as if she didn't want to add another person to the family.

Seeing Yang Yanqi's appearance, Xiao Mo learned a lesson. "So? You don't have the consciousness to press the spring, so you can't find someone to help Yu Niang? ”

"Did I say you wouldn't let me?" Yang Yanqi replied coldly, and then turned his head and ignored Xiao Mo.

"Alright, alright!" Yu Niang smiled and said, "You guys, haven't you made enough trouble since morning?" ”

She also wondered in her heart, is Yang Yanqi's temperament getting more and more weird?

Shaking his head, Xiao Mohe didn't bother to go to Yang Yanqi's theory, and she couldn't tell her at all, at this time, the three of them happened to walk to the exit of the alley, and then they stopped and looked at the group of 'human traffickers'!

To Xiao Mo's surprise, among this group of people, there was actually a well-dressed middle-aged man with two girls, who also stood in the crowd.

Generally speaking, those who have no choice but to sell their children to others as maids are not all poor? What's going on? Xiao Mo became curious, so he asked the man: "What are the names of these two girls...... After a pause, Xiao Mo was stunned and said, "They are twins?" ”

"Not bad!" The middle-aged man nodded and said to Xiao Mo: "This old man wants to buy a girl?" ”

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, the people next to him all looked at Xiao Mo eagerly.

Xiao Mo nodded, and the middle-aged man continued: "Don't hide it from the master, these two girls are called Lin Jia and Lin Jie, and they are ...... after the next old man."

So that's the case, no wonder this man is well-dressed and doesn't look like a poor man.

"What about their parents?"

"It's gone...... the middle-aged man shook his head, and then said, "I want to keep them, but I have no choice but to ...... Alas! ”

"What's helpless?" Xiao Mo frowned, there must be a reason, since this middle-aged man said that the twins were his deceased, it means that he should have a good relationship with the parents of the two daughters.

But the middle-aged man looked unspeakable, with a calm face and no words!

"Sir...... Take us! "Maybe it's because they've been standing in the alley for a long time, maybe for some other reason, one of the twins has spoken.

"This ......" Xiao Mo looked at Yu Niang with an inquiring look on his face.

Yu Niang didn't speak, of course she didn't want to buy two girls at once......

"These two girls are good, they are smart, young master, I just like ......" A somewhat obscene voice came from the side, and then a rich kid wearing silk squeezed to Xiao Mo's side, pointing at Lin Jia and Lin Jie and laughing.

"How much is it, Young Master Ben wants it!"

Looking at the fat rich boy next to him, Xiao Mo frowned, it was obvious that this guy next to him made Xiao Mo a little disgusted.

Xiao Mo was about to say something, but was gently pulled by Yu Niang, Xiao Mo glanced at Yu Niang in confusion, and saw Yu Niang shaking his head at him, Xiao Mo understood what Yu Niang meant.

Let's take a look first! Be careful, don't be fooled!

This kind of thing has existed since ancient times, of course Xiao Mo will be vigilant, turned sideways slightly, and after giving way to the fat son, he stood by and watched.

"Six, six taels of silver......" is still the girl who talked to Xiao Mo just now, after seeing this fat son, a panicked look appeared on her face first, and the one next to her, I don't know if it was her sister or her sister, lowered her head, and her eyes were red.

"Sixty taels?" The rich man's face turned pale when he heard this, and he looked at the middle-aged man: "Are you robbing?" ”

"Sir...... There's really no way! The middle-aged man looked at the rich boy in embarrassment, but he refused to pay a penny.

Sixty taels ...... At this price, buying two girls can be said to be sky-high! The rich boy thought for a while, then looked at the two girls and gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, Lao Tzu bought it!" ”

After that, the rich boy was ready to pay for it.

"Brother, wait!" Xiao Mo suddenly opened his mouth and asked him, "Dare to ask Gongzi, what are you going to do after buying them?" Don't tell me, you're willing to spend sixty taels of silver just to buy two maids......"

Indeed, if it is simply to buy a pressure spring, there are many girls next to it, but I am afraid that the price will not exceed ten taels, which is why the twins have stood at the mouth of the alley for so long and have not been bought.

"What are you doing when I buy it back, it's your business?" The fat boy burst into foul language at Xiao Mo, then quickly took out the silver and stretched out his hand to the middle-aged man. "Take it, hurry!"

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then looked at the twins and said, "Linjia, Linjie, you ......"

Looking at him, as if he was asking for the opinions of the two girls, the twins' faces darkened, and then one of them said: "Uncle, take it, with the silver, you can go home and explain to the eldest mother!" When I go back, tell my aunt that we ......."

Speaking of this, the girl couldn't help crying, "We have caused her trouble, these sixty taels of silver should be regarded as ...... When our sisters have been dragging her down all these years! ”

From the girl's words, Xiao Mo seemed to hear something.

"Alas!" The middle-aged man sighed again, and then tremblingly stretched out his hand to take the silver from the rich man's hand.

"Wait!" Xiao Mo grabbed the middle-aged man's hand and said, "You are too, it is clear that after these twins are your deceased, now you are pushing them into the fire pit with your own hands......"

"What can I do then?" The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Mo helplessly and said, "That woman in my family, alas! To tell the truth, if these two children can't sell sixty taels of silver, they are afraid that they will be ...... It's hard to go home! ”

It turns out that this middle-aged man was forced by his wife to have no choice!

"There's no way, are you ruthless, sell them to traffickers, and let them be sold to Qinglou and be humiliated?" Xiao Mo pointed at the fat boy and said with a sneer!

ps: There was a power outage at home in the afternoon, and the sad ...... There is one more shift in the evening, about an hour later!
