Fragrance is good for purifying the heart

Chapter 98
Grandma Liu's face was earthy at this time. When she saw Gardenia staring at her, with a pair of bright and smart eyes that seemed to contain the coldness of ice, she couldn't help but shuddered and said tremblingly, "I'll be honest with you Fairy Girl, in fact, we are in this line of work." , people are walking on the edge of a knife to make a living, there are not too many teahouses and small restaurants like this, not too few..."

She said a lot of things like this, but it seemed as if she didn't say them. But we could know from what she just said that such a harmful shop, in addition to roadside teahouses and small restaurants, was simply hard to guard against.

Gardenia didn't like her "scheming" attitude with him, so he took out the Baihong Sword, pointed it directly at her throat, and said in a cold voice: "How many are there?"

Grandma Liu was so frightened that she trembled all over and counted with her fingers. But after counting for a long time, she seemed to be unable to count. She was so frightened that she burst into tears and said: "I, Mrs. Liu, have never read a book, so I can't count." Here we come...Xiangu, please spare your life...please spare your life..."

Gardenia pondered for a moment and then asked, "Well, I won't ask you how many stores that are harmful to people like you exist. Then I will ask you, where do you want to sell Sister Yucao to?"

This is related to the final link in this human trafficking network, which is the big boss who "receives the goods".

But usually this kind of big boss is hidden at the end, and the mothers-in-law who just "deliver goods" may not know it.

Sure enough, Grandma Liu had a troubled expression on her face and was trembling with fear. Her expression didn't look like she was frightened by Gardenia, but rather as if she had thought of something and was so frightened, "How dare we old ladies say... ...If I tell anyone, my whole family will be killed. I don't dare to say it, I don't dare to say it..."

Gardenia kicked her to the ground, then stepped on her cheek with her foot, causing half of her face to touch the ground, and said evilly: "If you don't want to tell me, I will kill you right now." How about waiting for the whole family?”

As he spoke, he deliberately lowered his tone and said, "Don't worry, it will be worse than death for you to wait for a few days to keep it!"

One of the women was frightened, fell to the ground, and wailed: "Xiangu, don't be angry, I know, I know... They want to sell this female nun to Jueming City, where there are many Buyers like this kind of nuns to be slaves, and there is a big boss behind the scenes who is responsible for receiving the goods."

"Seriously?" Gardenia's bright eyes turned, and she did not let go of her foot.Is it Jueming City again?It seems that this matter is not simple at all, "Who is the big boss behind the scenes?"

"This... we don't know anything about it. We only know that when we get to Jueming City, someone will pick up the goods and give us the money." The woman stared at Grandma Liu and then lowered her head.

Then Grandma Liu begged for mercy, "Xian Gu, please spare your life. Just spare this villain. We have said everything we should say and what we shouldn't say. We are just exchanging a few small coins to make a living. Why would Fairy Girl be so angry and hold on to a few of the younger ones? If it is not allowed by God, then the big boss behind the scenes is the one Fairy Girl should deal with?"

When Gardenia heard this, the corner of her lips curled up slightly and she smiled coldly. Grandma Liu was quite smart and knew how to divert trouble to others, but the big boss behind the scenes she mentioned was indeed a problem.

"I'm afraid you have done a lot of this kind of thing in your life, right? A gentleman makes money in a proper way. According to what you said, does it mean that as long as it is about making money and making a living, you can do whatever you want, regardless of the moral and legal principles of the world? Look, Whatever good thing you get, you can keep it for yourself or sell it to make a living? In this case, where is the justice?"

Grandma Liu couldn't help but bow her head, "We mothers-in-law have never read any books, so how can we understand so many truths that the fairy said? We just want to have enough to eat, and the fairy scolded us and hit us. You’ve asked, why don’t you just let us little ones go?”

"Let you go?" Gardenia snorted coldly, "That's a good idea!" She seemed to have heard some big joke, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised, revealing a trace of ridicule.

While Yucao was asking Grandma Liu and others about the whereabouts of her junior sister, Gardenia suggested to Beimian, "Master, these mothers-in-law have done a lot of evil, and they have harmed many women from good families. Have you harmed children, and this matter involves Jueming City... If we let the tiger go back to the mountains, the consequences will be disastrous, so we might as well tie up these people and send them to the Yanghua County government."

Beimian just looked at Gardenia quietly through the jade mask, and there seemed to be an undercurrent in his eyes, as if he had gotten to know Gardenia as his apprentice again.

After a long while, he nodded approvingly.After Yucao asked about the whereabouts of her junior sister, she decided to save her junior sister. She said goodbye to Beimian's master and apprentice, "I also had a junior sister from the same sect who was also arrested. We were separated. She was taken away. Now that my cultivation has recovered, I will go find her."

"Does Sister Yucao need help from me and master?"

"Need not."

Yucao's fair face showed a rare independent and strong look, as if she didn't want to rely on others anymore, "Your master and apprentice have helped me too much. Besides, I asked Grandma Liu, they're transporting goods 'This group of people don't know any magic and have no cultivation, so it won't matter. The main thing is that the dragon tendons they got from nowhere are more powerful."

Before she left, she shook Gardenia's hand and said, "As long as I act carefully, I will definitely rescue my little junior sister. Thank you very much, Miss Gardenia, for this great kindness. I will repay you someday."

Gardenia looked at Yucao walking away alone, and instinctively wanted to follow her to help her, but when she turned around, she saw a trace of hesitation in Master Beimian's eyes. He also deliberately avoided Gardenia's eyes. He looked at me and nodded, "Act according to your own will, as long as you are happy."

He wanted to choose where to go. With his appearance, Gardenia couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

At this moment, a sound-transmitting paper crane flew from a distance in mid-air, and flew quietly in front of Beimian.

Beimianzhang's spiritual power circulated, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a message from Ni Anzhi: "The master personally announced that disciple Ni Anzhi will take all the disciples to Chixiao Road to discuss in detail the Yanying Palace's plan to attack various sects. I hope that the Immortal Lord will come with me. Junior Sister Gardenia will go together to join us. Disciple Ni Anzhi hereby presents you."

Gardenia closed her eyes slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Then my disciple will follow Master to Chixiao Road to meet up with Senior Brother Ni. Senior Sister Yucao's cultivation level is not low. It should be no problem to rescue her Junior Sister."

Beimian only said "Okay", and there was a trace of relief on his face hidden behind the jade mask, "I originally planned to take you to Wuding Tower, but now it seems that I have to go to Chixiao Road first. Check it out."

Chixiao Road was originally within the boundaries of Yanghua County.However, it was not too far away from the Anning Inn where the two rested, so the master and apprentice decided not to use their swords for the time being and go there on foot.

They walked and stopped, seeing a lot of local customs and customs along the way. It was considered leisurely and comfortable. The two of them walked into a small forest. They estimated that through this small forest, they could walk to Chixiao after passing through a small town. At the foot of the mountain.

There are mainly pine trees of different heights growing in this dense forest. Occasionally, there are one or two small squirrels running back and forth among the pine trees, holding one or two pine cones in their arms, fighting for them, which looks particularly funny.

Beimian turned his head to look at Gardenia, and saw a bright smile in Gardenia's eyes, looking very happy. He couldn't help but secretly thought: It seems that Gardenia likes this kind of scenery, and he will take Gardenia out often in the future.

The two of them walked away for about two cups of tea. Gardenia seemed to hear the sound of gurgling water not far away, so she said to Beimian: "Master, are you thirsty? I'll go to the stream to get some water." .”

Hearing this, Beimian felt that he was a little thirsty after walking for so long, so he nodded to Gardenia, "Okay, I will wait for you here."
