Taiping Inn

The Taoist Sect ranks the last among the five northwest sects. If it is placed among the ten evil Taoist Sects, it can probably be ranked sixth, which is worse than the Butian Sect.

Li Xuan nodded.

Liu Yushuang continued, "Then Mr. Li should also know the 'Zihe Dao' of the Daozhong Sect."

Li Xuan couldn't help but start to re-examine the woman in front of him, because a widow who couldn't even protect her own property shouldn't know about this. Then there is only one explanation, these are taught by Qian Yulong, or she has been with Qian Yulong all year round, and has learned from her own knowledge without a teacher.

No matter what the situation is, it shows that this woman is not simple.

Li Xuandu thought for a moment and said, "I have heard of the 'Zihe Dafa', which is a real evil method. Practicing this method requires taking red pills and swallowing the Zihe Cart. It is always a shame for those in the right path."

The so-called red pill, also known as "red lead golden elixir", also known as "three-yuan elixir", takes the menstrual blood of the first menstrual period of virginity, and is called "congenital red lead". Add the first drop of dew and black plums in the middle of the night and boiled it. Seven times, it turned into a medicine paddle, and was prepared with medicines such as red lead, autumn stone, human milk, cinnabar, and pine resin.

As for Zihe Carriage, it is the placenta. "Zihe Dafa" is also named from this, which shows the evil of this method.

Liu Yushuang said: "According to the news we have received, Qian Yulou began to trade 'veterans' in order to win over the people of the Daozhong Sect."

What is a "vegetarian"?

The story Hu Liang told Zhou Shuning already made it clear: Because of the war in Liangzhou, refugees were everywhere, grassroots and tree bark were eaten up, so people were eaten, and officials could not prohibit them, and women and children were sold in the market. It is called "vegetarians". If the butcher buys it, it is like buying pigs and sheep.

Li Xuandu's face suddenly became extremely ugly: "How dare she act like this?"

Liu Yushuang whispered: "As long as you sit in the position of the head of the Qian family, you will be the local emperor of Jiangzhou, and there is nothing you dare not do."

Qian Yulong put down the white jade paperweight in his hand, the smile on his face was gone, and a cold voice revealed a sense of ruthlessness: "Our Qian family does all kinds of business, silk, tea, copper, iron and cotton yarn, porcelain, gold, silver, Food and horses are sold, but not people."

Li Xuandu whispered: "As long as you pass this news to the ears of the righteous people, you can use a knife to kill people."

Qian Yulong shook his head and said, "It's true that he can kill people with a knife, but the reputation of the Qian family has been defeated. The so-called family scandals should not be made public. A large part of the reason why I made up my mind to attack Qian Yulou was to preserve the reputation of the family."

Li Xuandu asked, "If I hadn't appeared here, who would have asked you to do this? You wouldn't have done it yourself."

Qian Yulong said for granted: "Money can communicate with the gods. If there is no Zifu, I will go directly to Wandumen. They do things cleanly, but in this way, it will be difficult to master the standards. Moreover, Wandumen and Tingfeng Tower There are also some connections between them and the risk of leaking secrets, so it can only be regarded as a helpless solution."

Li Xuan nodded: "I understand."

Native

There are many cargo ships parked in the port outside Jinling City, half of which are hung with the banner of "money", but the characters "money" are different from the characters "money", and some characters "money" are large flags of "money". The black edges are embroidered on it. A discerning person can tell at a glance that this is a cargo ship under the name of the eldest son of the Qian family. Some of the big banners with silver edges are embroidered on them. These are cargo ships under the name of the second lady of the Qian family.

On the surface, these cargo ships seem to be no different from the ordinary cargo ships around them, full of silk, tea, cotton yarn, porcelain, and grain, but this is just a scene on the deck, and there is a unique world on the lower level of the cabin.

At this time, Li Xuandu was in the cabin of a cargo ship flying a silver-edged banner, which was small, slim, dark and wet.

The person who guided him was a Qian family manager. The manager didn't know Li Xuandu's true identity, but only knew that Li Xuan was Liu Yushuang's cousin. For those little people who have been making a living in the Qian family for generations, Mrs. Liu His cousin is almost the same as his uncle, so when this manager faces Li Xuandu, he is very respectful and even flattering.

Li Xuandu's eyes flashed across the sides. It was more appropriate to say that this was a prison rather than a cabin.

There are countless small spaces separated by wooden fences on both sides of the walkway, which are pitch black, and you can only vaguely see a subtle flash of light in the dark. Only by walking in and looking closely will you find that the light of these stars is actually a pair of eyes, but there is no trace of vitality in these eyes, dead and numb.

Li Xuandu stopped and looked carefully. There were women inside. He was dressed intact and could not be said to be as thin as a hair, but he still had a dish-like face and a dirty face. In addition to numbness, everyone's face and eyes also had a hidden feeling. Deep terror.

As early as the time when the Zulong ruled the world, the slavery system was generally abolished. In the following thousands of years, although there was a saying of selling his body, it should be a slave, and later in the Great Jin Dynasty, it was also abolished. System of burying living people for burial.

But now, someone has started such slave transactions, treating people as livestock, not to mention how to tolerate them. Just from the truth, it is contrary to human ethics, and the law cannot tolerate them, and the law cannot tolerate them.

However, Li Xuan did not show too many expressions on his face, and he was still as calm as water.

A person who is used to life and death will be numb to life and death. He can be ignored by life and death, so he will naturally be unable to show great shock and sorrow, and he will become a person who does not show his emotions in the eyes of the world.

Li Xuandu extended his fingers and gently stroked the wooden fences full of worms. He could break them with a little force, but he didn't do that. He just silently retracted his fingers and continued to walk deeper into the cabin.

In the depths of the cabin, there was a "high-quality cargo".

When Li Xuandu walked out of this narrow passage, his eyes finally opened up a little. This place, which could be called a room, was about three meters square. There was a wooden cage hanging above. Inside the wooden cage was a young woman locked in shackles, sitting blankly, motionless.

The woman's hair was loose, covering her face, but judging from her figure under the thin clothes, she should be a beauty.

This was the "tribute" that was about to be presented to the Daozhong Sect.

The word "evil" in the Ten Evil Sects was not without reason.

Li Xuandu asked, "Is this the 'goods' that the second young lady wants?"

The steward nodded hurriedly and said, "That's right."

Li Xuandu waved his hand and ordered, "Bring her out, clean her up, change her clothes, and then send her directly to Qinxiang Villa by carriage."

Li Xuandu's indifferent attitude made the steward more confident in his identity, because if he was not often in this line of work, he would never be so indifferent, so the steward hurriedly said to the people behind him, "Didn't you hear what Master Liu said?"

The several strong maids following the two men immediately stepped forward to open the wooden cage.

Li Xuandu asked, "Where did she come from?"

The steward sighed, "She was a poor girl. She was originally a young lady from a scholarly family. Her family was well-off. Her family usually did some charity work such as opening the warehouse to give out grain to the poor. She was also known as a kind person in the countryside. But this year, there was a famine in Qizhou. The Qingyang Sect took the opportunity to start a rebellion. There were refugees everywhere. A group of refugees who could not survive looted her family. It was said that her parents were put into a pot and cooked on the spot. It was said that they were killing the harm to the people. I don't know what kind of harm they killed. As for her, she was still alive. Because of her beauty, she was bought by our people in Qizhou and sent here by sea. Although she was to be sent to the old immortal as a maid to warm his bed, it was better than being abused by those refugees. "

Li Xuandu pointed to the shackles on the woman: "Why are you still wearing shackles?"

The steward said: "This woman is not a strong-willed person. She didn't seek death, but she was unwilling to accept her fate. She took the opportunity to escape twice on the way, so she was put in iron shackles."

Li Xuandu nodded: "Serving the old immortal is a big deal."

The steward hurriedly nodded in agreement.

At this time, Li Xuandu really admired the young sister-in-law.

Qian Yulou had bribed the Xiantian Realm old woman who was guarding Liu Yushuang's house, and through that old woman, he secretly coerced Liu Yushuang, hoping to plant a nail next to his elder brother Qian Yulong. However, he did not expect that the younger sister-in-law would use Qian Yulong's instructions to plant a nail next to Qian Yulou.

As for the old woman, since she had met Li Xuandu and knew about Qian Yulong's meeting with Li Xuandu, Qian Yulong would not keep her any longer, and her body might have sunk to the bottom of the river now.

However, once Qian Yulou learned of the old woman's death, he would definitely suspect Liu Yushuang, so there was not much time left for Li Xuandu.
