Queen of Nongmen: Hexagrams determine the universe

Chapter 256
The elder brother with the knife stopped, turned his head and looked towards the source of the sound.

The villagers also turned their heads.

Li Zheng looked hesitantly, looking at the matchmaker and another villager who led the matchmaker over: "What's going on?"

"The matchmaker said that she bought a young girl and wanted to sell it to our village to see if there is anyone in our village who is short of a wife." The villager who led the way hurriedly explained.

"Yes... yes..." The prostitute was a little nervous.

She had met Ye Qiongdan and Ye Qiongxiang before, and persuaded them not to enter Shi'ao Village, and even talked about her embarrassment, fearing that if she brought one of them in, she would smash her own signboard, and there would be no more people from the mountains. The small village will ask her to buy someone.

But later, Ye Qiongdan brought a fake household registration issued by the yamen, not only that, she also brought a human skin mask, she put on the human skin mask, and gave the matchmaker 50 taels of silver to let the matchmaker act with her .

When things fail, the matchmaker can reason that the other party is wearing a human skin mask to deceive her, and she is innocent. In this way, her business will not be interrupted.

The matchmaker is greedy for money, and once she heard that the matter failed, she would be fine. Naturally, she accepted the money and agreed to do things for Ye Qiongdan.

She knew that there was an old gambler in Shi'ao Village who often went to the town to gamble, so she sent someone to find him.

They were lucky today, the gambler happened to be in town.

The matchmaker gave him ten cents to show him the way, and the gambler readily agreed.

Li Zheng looked at Ye Qiongdan with some vigilance, walked over and asked, "Mrs. Zhou, what is the origin of this girl? Did you buy it, or did you abduct it?"

"Of course I bought it!" The prostitute took out a fake household registration document, handed it to Li Zheng, and lied, "Her sister-in-law sold her!"

There are several types of human trafficking in the Dragon Dynasty. One is abduction, which is to abduct innocent people by deception and sell them; , and then resold; there is another kind, which is to be sold voluntarily, which is called and sold.

It's just that the Dragon Dynasty has regulations, even if a child under the age of ten is sold voluntarily, it is still illegal!

Therefore, there are several types of yakitori, one is the yakitori who are only engaged in buying and selling people, and the other is the yakitori who both abduct and sell people.

Mrs. Zhou has never kidnapped anyone, so the people in her hands are relatively expensive, not cheaper than those directly kidnapped. If they are not in a hurry to find a wife, most people will not look for the kind of people who are sold instead of kidnapped. woman, begging to be a daughter-in-law.

After all, there is no cost for abducting, and naturally, how much money can be sold is how much net profit can be made.

After the new emperor came to the throne, he made great efforts to rule the country. He suppressed the family, promoted the imperial examination, opened women's official schools, and even severely cracked down on the sale and plundering of people. Mrs. Zhou has been doing this for many years, and the county magistrate of Qinghe County is also a good official who hates evil. , she did not dare to commit crimes against the wind.

Speaking of which, the new emperor is remarkable in governing the world, but the previous battle for the heir apparent was too ruthless and too chilling.

However, under Haiyan Heqing of the Great Dragon Dynasty, there are some huge hidden dangers.

The first is foreign aggression. There are countries in the Western Regions in the northwest, which invade every year.

In the northeast, Gaoluo has repeatedly invaded for hundreds of years, winning more and losing less.

And the opening of the North-South Grand Canal can be regarded as a waste of money and people. Even after decades, this vitality has not been fully recovered.

The new emperor has ambitions, however, after winning the battle for the throne, he began to lose his composure.

He has put in more than ten years of hard work in this battle to win the heir apparent, which caused all his brothers to die, go crazy, be demoted, or be imprisoned. In the end, the success made him a little bit ecstatic, and he was eager to become an emperor through the ages.

But I never thought that the five great families have thousands of years of foundation.

But I never thought that the Gaoluo Kingdom is full of elite soldiers and strong generals.

But I never thought that the battle in the northwest is always losing.

His haste is tantamount to digging his own grave.

Of course, these are important national affairs, which are far away in the sky, but what Ye Qiongdan is facing now is the life and death of relatives who are close at hand.

Li Zheng was looking at Ye Qiongdan, and looked at the villagers: "Is there anyone who wants to buy a wife?"

"Hey, this girl looks very healthy! The skin is also fair, it's worth buying!"

"I want to buy it! I want to pay five taels of silver! When I get tired of it, I can pawn off this fair skin. I can also pawn it to other villages and let her give birth to other men for a few years! There are many people with this skin and figure." Begging to honor her!"

"I'll pay eight taels of silver! Buy me and my brother a wife together! I can't bear to pawn such a juicy girl!"

……

Ye Qiongdan walked into the crowd expressionlessly, came to the edge of the altar, first helped You Yue'e who was tied up, and then tore off the rope tied to her body, and then removed her mouth. in the cloth.

"What do you want to do?" The big brother who bought You Yue'e asked angrily.

Ye Qiongdan ignored him, she pulled out the dagger and shot it out. The dagger penetrated deeply into the stone platform and cut off the rope tied to Ye Fengshun's body.

Ye Fengshun was taken aback and his whole body became stiff.

Ye Qiongdan tore off the human skin mask on his face, put it in his arms, and curled his lips: "What are you doing? Of course, you are doing justice for the heavens! How many abducted women have been bought in your village? How many have been killed to come to the rescue? The person who was kidnapped and trafficked?"

After Ye Fengshun and You Yue'e saw that it was her, Ye Fengshun's heart was full of anxiety: "Silly niece! Why are you running in here alone! It's dangerous here!"

You Yue'e was not worried, on the contrary, she seemed to see the hope of surviving.

This girl can go in and out of Heihuzhai without incident, and she can bring down the Wutou gang. How can these gangsters be her opponent?

"Just you, you want to do something to the whole village?" Li Zheng snorted coldly.

"Lizheng, please don't kill my eldest niece, my eldest niece is Ye Qiongdan! How many of you are infected with the plague and eat the prescriptions prescribed by my eldest niece! I beg you to read And her great kindness, let her go!" Ye Fengshun repeatedly begged for mercy, "She is still a child!"

"It's late!" Li said expressionlessly, "If you dare to come to the village to rob people, you must pay the price in blood! Otherwise, wouldn't the rules of our Shi'ao Village be messed up? Without the rules, how will the village pass on the family in the future? ?Even if she really saved the villagers' lives, we can't tolerate her breaking the rules we live by!"

"The price of blood?" Ye Qiongdan smiled, clenched his fists, and looked at the villagers, "Which one of you will go first?"

Today, she must break through violently and beat them to the point where they cannot fight back, otherwise, in the case of pursuers, she cannot guarantee that she will be able to hold Lizheng hostage and escape with the second uncle and second auntie!
