Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

I pretended to be strolling on the roadside. Sure enough, after a while, those people came down.

When they were saying goodbye at the restaurant, Zhao Yuanzhen took the opportunity to find the county magistrate's eldest son.

Then he followed his carriage along the way.

After walking for about ten minutes, the carriage entered an alley with fewer people.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked around to see if there was anyone around, then put away the backpack.

He ran quickly, stepped on the wall on the left, and used the force to jump onto the carriage. Amid the exclamations and scoldings of the county magistrate, the son of Xiao Si, he was knocked unconscious with a single strike of his hand.

"Wenbai, what's going on? Why aren't you leaving?"

As the young man said this, he was about to use his fan to push aside the curtain of the carriage and come out.

How can it be so cold? And you are still fanning yourself...

Zhao Yuanzhen grabbed his fan, pushed him into the carriage, and then went in.

He was chopped on the neck by a knife and passed out.

Zhao Yuanzhen was afraid that they would wake up soon, so she controlled the sleepyhead to give them a double layer of insurance.

Then they dragged Xiao Si into the carriage and stripped off his coat.

This Xiao Si should be quite young, and only slightly taller than Zhao Yuanzhen.

His clothes fit Zhao Yuanzhen quite well.

She put her hair up into a bun like Xiao Si's, thought for a moment, and then put on a hat.

So I drove to find an abandoned house.

Walking aimlessly in the alley.

I actually found a house in a secluded place that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

Zhao Yuanzhen knocked off the lock, drove the carriage in, and closed the door again.

It was about three in the afternoon. Zhao Yuanzhen planned to take action when it was getting dark.

She took out some beans for the horse to eat.

He carried the backpack back to the inn.

I returned to the inn and asked the waiter for a pot of water, which was delivered to my room, and then I closed the door. After the waiter brought me tea, I told him that I was going to rest and not to be disturbed.

Lying in bed and resting.

At about five o'clock, the sun was about to set, but there was still some afterglow, so you could see it, but it wasn't very clear.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked around and saw that there was no one in the backyard of the inn, so he jumped out of the window and then jumped over the wall to get out.

Back to that broken yard.

Zhao Yuanzhen opened the door and drove out in the carriage.

There was a special mark on the county magistrate's carriage. Zhao Yuanzhen deliberately walked around the main street, and finally walked to the back street of the brothel and knocked on the back door.

When Xiao Si opened the door, he found that it was the county magistrate's carriage. He quickly opened the door and let them in.

Then he went to inform the manager of the brothel.

After a while, a person in his 30s, but dressed very gorgeously, came over.

"Oh, what a rare guest! What wind has brought our county magistrate's eldest son here? Fa Cai, go and prepare a fine banquet in the private room, and ask Lian Lian to come out and keep you company."

Waving the handkerchief, he spoke to Xiao Si beside him.

"No need. My master said he has prepared everything by himself. I hope mom can help us and prepare a soundproof yard for him so that no one can disturb him. Mom, you understand."

As he spoke, he glanced at the carriage.

Zhao Yuanzhen modified her voice slightly, and it became a boyish voice that was a bit androgynous, but considering Xiao Si's age, it did not arouse suspicion.

Then he took out a 50-tael silver ingot and threw it to the woman.

The woman took the silver and laughed so hard that she shook with laughter.

"I understand, I understand. I'll arrange it for you. Fa Cai, go take the young master to Tinghe Tower. Tell everyone not to disturb the young master's elegant mood. Then I will withdraw first."

Zhao Yuanzhen waved her hand and followed Xiao Si to the Tinghe Tower. The location was indeed very remote, and it seemed that the money was not wasted.

When he reached the gate of the small courtyard, Xiao Si was going to lead the carriage.

Zhao Yuanzhen stopped him.

"No, there's no need for anyone here, go and do your work, our young master doesn't want others to see him. I'll wait on him in the courtyard."

Then he threw two taels of silver to Xiao Si.

Xiao Si was very happy, said goodbye and left with the silver.

Zhao Yuanzhen led the carriage into the yard.

Then he carried Xiao Si and the county magistrate's son down and threw them on the floor of the room.

After closing the door, she sat down beside the carriage in the yard.

Wait until it's completely dark.

She fastened the carriage, closed the gate, and went upstairs to take a nap.

There is a big job waiting for him this evening.

It would be around eight o'clock. Zhao Yuanzhen set the alarm for 12 o'clock.

When she was woken up by the alarm clock, the brothel was at its busiest. Zhao Yuanzhen carried the two people upstairs, closed all the doors, put on a mask, and slipped out.

It was a time when many people were present, and all kinds of voices were mixed together. Zhao Yuanzhen had already scanned the map in the room in advance.

She looked at the location of the basement on the map, which was in the garden, and searched for it, but couldn't find it.

I looked carefully again, under the rockery next to the pond.

She hid from people and approached the rockery.

Then she found that the rockery was hollow. She fumbled around for the mechanism.

She really found it.

She looked at the small door in the rockery and slipped in. The door then closed automatically.

Zhao Yuanzhen released the sleepyhead.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the sleepyhead flew back.

Zhao Yuanzhen listened and heard no sound, so she went downstairs.

I walked up a flight of stairs before I reached the bottom.

The basement is quite large, it feels like more than 150 square meters.

The basement smells extremely bad, a rotten smell!

Zhao Yuanzhen first looked at the fallen person. There were two guards, and then there was no one else.

Zhao Yuanzhen walked in and found a lobby in the middle, with dozens of small cubicles on both sides, each about 4 square meters.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked around with a torch. Some of the boxes were empty, some had children in them, and some had children and animals in them.

The children saw her come in and didn't react.

Zhao Yuanzhen walked into a room where only children were, and found the child lying limply on the ground.

Zhao Yuanzhen wanted to take his pulse and found that he had no hands. Not only did he have no hands, he also had no arms or legs.

The whole person looks like a pig.

It was obvious that the wound was caused by a sharp weapon.

These beasts.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked at the rotten wound.

I took out iodine and anti-inflammatory drugs to help him treat it.

Zhao Yuanzhen spent more than an hour treating all the children in the small compartments whose wounds could still be treated.

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't dare to touch some of the people who had already been turned into beasts, for she was afraid that rash action would cause secondary injuries.

Zhao Yuanzhen walked out of the last small cubicle with red eyes.

A bloodstained chopping board was found in the lobby, with various tools next to it.

It's self-explanatory what this is used for.

Zhao Yuanzhen felt that these beasts really deserved to die.

On the table next to me, I found a wooden box with a round hole on the lid. I could put my hand in it. It looked a bit like a lottery box.

Zhao Yuanzhen opened the box and found it was full of little puppets.

But the puppets are all incomplete. Some are missing arms, some are missing legs, and some are missing various organs.

Zhao Yuanzhen immediately thought of the use of this wooden box.

These bastards.

She was so angry that her eyes turned red. She took the knife next to her and slashed the two people on the ground.

After the stroke, she slowly calmed down. Zhao Yuanzhen didn't kill them, she wanted to make them feel the same pain those children had suffered, and make them suffer a fate worse than death.

Then he walked out of the basement.

Walking out from the rockery, Zhao Yuanzhen headed towards the warehouse location marked on the map.

The warehouse was filled with food and supplies, but not much money.

There are more grains and fine cereals. There are more than 4000 kilograms of rice and more than 6000 kilograms of flour. There are more grains and beans, and some millet. There are about 1000 kilograms.

Zhao Yuanzhen accepted them all.

There are also a lot of meats, including bacon, salted meat, and air-dried meat, all of which are well stored.

Zhao Yuanzhen also collected them. It just so happened that the bacon at home was almost finished.

There are also various supplements, such as white fungus, bird's nest, jujube, deer antler, dried longan, brown sugar, white sugar, Fritillaria cirrhosa, peach gum, deer tendon, etc., and even Tianshan snow lotus.

Zhao Yuanzhen accepted them all without hesitation.

There are many wine jars beside! Zhao Yuanzhen also put them away without hesitation! This wine smells good, and it is. In a place like a brothel, there are all kinds of fine wines.

There are many kinds of tea, including black tea, green tea, and various scented teas.

See there's nothing left.

There is no money in this warehouse, even if it was transported away, it is impossible to transport it so cleanly. It can only be said that it is not here.

Zhao Yuanzhen opened the scanner again, scanning various valuable items such as gold, silver, and jewelry.

The location where the green spots are concentrated is in a small courtyard.

Zhao Yuanzhen approached quietly.

She found that the small courtyard was guarded by someone, so she controlled Sleepyhead to knock the guard unconscious.

Jumped into the yard.

Following the markings on the map, we found a secret room under a floor on the first floor.

It is also the secret room below.

Zhao Yuanzhen listened and heard no sound, so she walked in.

The basement is not big, only about 20 square meters.

There were more than a dozen large wooden boxes stacked up.

The boxes were opened, and there were 12 boxes of silver ingots, each of which was 50 taels, and they were full, so this box was about taels.

12 boxes is 36W plus taels.

Zhao Yuanzhen put them all away.

The remaining 7 boxes are antiques, calligraphy and paintings, ornaments and jade articles.

Zhao Yuanzhen also put them away without hesitation.

There was a small box. Zhao Yuanzhen opened it and looked inside. There were some account books and letters, as well as a large stack of banknotes.

The amount of silver notes was not uniform. Some were 1000 taels, some were 100 taels, and some were taels.

Zhao Yuanzhen roughly calculated that there were 845,000 taels of silver in the banknotes.

Put away all the banknotes.

The letters were written to the head office, and there were several account books, some of which recorded the brothel business, and one recorded the children.

Zhao Yuanzhen took a look at the children's book, which recorded in detail how many children were captured on which day, how many were used as livestock, how many were used for live cutting, how many survived, how many were transported today, etc.

Zhao Yuanzhen had the system scan the account book and make an identical copy, took the original away, and put the copy in a small box.

Then they put it back into the secret room along with the small box.

Zhao Yuanzhen looked again, but found nothing, so she went upstairs.

Then he went upstairs and collected all the valuable items and jewelry in the mother's room, and sold them to the system.

A total of 58 points were sold. Adding the 20 points I had before, I now have more than 80 points.

Zhao Yuanzhen felt that this brothel was a den of money. A mother who was in charge had more jewelry and ornaments than a county magistrate. She was really making a fortune.

She followed the map again and collected all the rooms with the most green dots. It was a busy time in the brothel, and many of the top prostitutes and wealthy men had gone to work.

So she collected it exceptionally smoothly.

I sold all the jewelry and ornaments I received and earned more than 40 points. This time my points exceeded one million.

I quietly went to the kitchen again. The lights were always on! Someone was preparing food. Yes! This would be a busy time!

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't want to alert the enemy, so she left.

Zhao Yuanzhen returned to the courtyard of the county magistrate's son.

I found a piece of paper and a pen and wrote a small note with my left hand.

"The eldest master is in the secret passage of Yihong Tower. If you want him to survive, rescue him quickly."

A map of the basement of the rockery was also included. He tore a piece of cloth from the eldest son, took his fan, and wrapped the note and the fan together.

After thinking about it, I wrote another one:

"I hope the county magistrate will personally conduct the trial and follow the law. The vegetable market tomorrow morning should be a good place for beheading. In order to prevent the public from knowing the truth, I guess the county magistrate will make it public. Otherwise, the eldest son will probably have the same fate as those children. Treat the rescued children well, and I will check on them from time to time."

He tore off a piece of the eldest son's clothes and a piece of his jade pendant and wrapped them up together.
