Tang Ning did not expect that Zhao Yun'er would actually know something that neither the imperial court nor the secret agents had investigated.

There are ten elders in the Wan Gu Sect. Since the civil war in the Wan Gu Sect, they have been divided into ten lines. Under these ten lines, there are also their own branches.

Outsiders had no idea which of the ethnic groups and tribes in the mountains were the core members of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect. Tang Ning wanted to find out the location of the Ten Thousand Gu Sect's headquarters by searching for them, but there was no way to do so.

However, he learned from Zhao Yun'er that a certain branch belonging to the three elders' lineage was located on a certain mountain in Qianzhou.

After entering the Guizhou region, there was no big city like Wanzhou. The mountain people in the Guizhou region gathered into tribes and lived close to the mountains.

As long as we can find this branch, we may be able to follow the clues and know where their main altar is.

Tang Ning said, "I really want to thank you, Miss Yun'er, this time."

"Sir, please don't say that." Zhao Yun'er shook her head repeatedly and said, "It is Yun'er's honor to be able to help you."

That branch is located on Tenglong Mountain in Qianzhou. Before leaving, Tang Ning needed to find a map of Guizhou and write it down.

He walked out of the room and said, "Lieutenant Ruan County."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of a guest room opposite his door suddenly opened, and Ruan County Lieutenant ran out from inside and asked respectfully: "What are your orders, sir?"

Tang Ning said, "Please find me a map of Guizhou Province."

Ruan County Lieutenant immediately said: "Don't worry, sir, this matter is taken care of by me."

Tang Ning escorted Zhao Yun'er out of the inn. Suddenly, more than ten people rushed out from the street and surrounded them.

Before Ruan Xianwei could leave, his expression changed and he said angrily: "What do you want to do?"

A young man at the head took out a piece of paper, waved it in front of his eyes, and said: "It is only natural to pay back debts..."

He pointed at Zhao Yun'er and said, "Her mother owes us a lot of money. I come to her to collect the debt. Is there anything wrong?"

Ruan County Lieutenant looked at the young man and said, "Second Young Master, haven't I already returned the three hundred taels of silver to you?"

"The three hundred taels were paid back." Liang Tao looked at him, shook his head and said, "But she just owed us another thirty thousand taels, so what do you mean?"

Ruan County Lieutenant was shocked and asked, "Three, thirty thousand taels?"

Zhao Yun'er's beauty turned pale, and she looked at the woman behind the young man, confused: "Mom, you went gambling again, where did you get the money?"

The woman glanced at her and said, "There are obviously seven hundred taels at home, and you still say you don't have them!"

Zhao Yun'er's body trembled, and when she looked at her, she couldn't hide her disappointment.

"Your mother said that she has no money to pay me back. If you don't have any money, you can give it to me." Liang Tao sneered and reached out to grab her. Ruan County Lieutenant suddenly stepped forward and opened his Hand, said angrily: "Let's see who dares!"

Liang Tao's face darkened and he said, "Ruan Laoer, are you sure you want to go against my Liang family?"

Although Ruan Xianwei felt a little guilty, he knew that the person standing behind him was a backer a hundred times more powerful than the Liang family. Thinking of this, he straightened his body again and said: "Liang Laoer, in broad daylight, you want to Are you going against the government?"

The sound of "Liang Laoer" made Liang Tao furious. He kicked Ruan Qiang in the stomach and waved, "Take him away!"

Ruan Qiang staggered, and finally stood up straight. He raised his head and saw a figure walking out of the inn, holding a whip in his hand. He only heard a few "咻" and "咻" sounds, and several people rushed towards him. The servants of the Ming Liang family just ran away with their heads in their hands.

Chen Zhou put away his whip, looked at them, and said calmly: "Get out."

Liang Tao took a few steps back, looked at them, gritted his teeth and said, "You guys have the guts..."

The situation is stronger than the people. The servants around him are obviously no match for the whip guy. Liang Tao glanced at them and said: "Let's go!"

When the servant next to him left, he grabbed the woman's arm. Zhao Tian looked at Zhao Yun'er and said hurriedly: "Yun'er, save me..."

The servant immediately looked at Chen Zhou nervously. Chen Zhou looked at Tang Ning. Tang Ning waved her hand and said, "It is only natural to pay back debts. Don't meddle in other people's business."

Chen Zhou nodded, put away his whip, and returned behind Tang Ning.

Zhao Tian's expression changed drastically and she said loudly: "Yun'er, save me..."

Zhao Yun'er looked at Tang Ning and opened her lips, but in the end she didn't say anything.

"You heartless!"

"I am your mother!"

"You wait, you wait, you will regret it!"

Zhao Tian was dragged away by those people. Tang Ning looked at Lieutenant Ruan and asked, "Are you okay?"

Ruan County Lieutenant rubbed his belly and said, "I'm fine, sir."

Tangning then looked at Zhao Yun'er who was standing aside and said, "If she can't remember the lesson this time, she will do it again in the future. Today's scene will happen again sooner or later."

Zhao Yun'er nodded and said, "I know."

Tang Ning said, "Let her suffer a little first."

Zhao Yun'er didn't say anything, just acquiescing.

Liang family.

Liang Tao kicked over the chair and said with a sullen face: "The person named Ruan dares to interfere with my Liang family's affairs?"

The servant next to him said: "Master, there should be someone behind the person named Ruan. I think the young man next to him should have some identity."

"I know, I know..." Zhao Tianshi heard this and hurriedly said, "He is an official in the capital, just a small official..."

Beijing officials are three levels higher. Although the Liang family is not afraid of a small official from the capital, Liang Tao does not want to make a big deal.

He looked at Zhao Tianshi and said, "I'll give you three days. If you can't raise the money, let your daughter wait for you to collect your body."

Zhao Tianshi's face changed drastically and said, "How can I raise so much money..."

"Then I don't care." Liang Tao looked at her and said, "30,000 taels of silver, buying your life, it's worth it for you."

Zhao Tianshi said sadly, "Except for that broken house, I have nothing left. How can I raise it..."

Liang Tao looked at her and smiled, "Who said that, don't you have another daughter?"

...

Ruan Qiang held a piece of paper in his hand, looked at Tang Ning helplessly, and asked, "Sir, what should we do now?"

The paper in his hand was a contract of sale.

Zhao Yuner's contract of sale

Zhao Tianshi owed money to the Liang family and was unable to repay it, so she sold Zhao Yuner to the Liang family...

This kind of thing happens from time to time. Some gamblers who are crazy about gambling, after selling their houses, sell their children, wives, and even themselves.

They don't know, or they don't want to know, that it is a fact that they lose every time they gamble. From the moment they step into the casino, if they don't stop as soon as possible, they will sooner or later end up in this dead end.

However, no matter what, this kind of thing that is consensual is protected by law in the State of Chen.

Zhao Tianshi is Zhao Yuner's mother. This contract of sale has her signature and handprint. Even if it is taken to the government, the Liang family is right.

Zhao Yuner stood behind Tang Ning, her body trembled, and her face turned pale instantly.

Having such a mother is also a cruel thing for her. Tang Ning thought that after this incident, she would realize her mistakes, change her ways, and start a new life, but she didn't expect that she would go down a dark road instead.

Zhao Yuner clenched her fists and said, "Even if I die, I will not agree to the Liang family!"

Even if we don't consider their past friendship, she helped him so much, Tang Ning would not watch her die.

From a legal point of view, gambling is illegal, which will cause many people to be separated from their wives and children, and their families to be destroyed. All dynasties have regarded it as a scourge, but greed is human nature. Even if the court has clearly legislated it, it has been repeatedly banned.

The laws of the State of Chen in this regard are not strict, but officials are prohibited from gambling. Under the feet of the emperor in the capital, they can still restrain themselves and dare not play too much, but in a place like Wanzhou, the court's laws are useless.

He looked at County Lieutenant Ruan and said, "Bring people to seal up the Liang family's casino."

County Lieutenant Ruan was stunned and asked, "But what reason do you have to use?"

Tang Ning thought about it and said, "Just say that it affects the feng shui of Wanzhou."

County Lieutenant Ruan looked at him and whispered, "Sir, this is a bit unreasonable..."
