No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Of course, Mingchen would not let anyone touch even the slightest bit of the corner of his robe, and he would not be beaten even if anyone present was beaten.

Instead, these family members who were causing trouble were directly pinned down by the soldiers.

Mingchen sneered: "I see that your words and deeds all imply that my daughter has lost her virginity and is worthless, so why not help you."

"Tomorrow, I'll go to the government office and ask the clerk to come sign the contract to sell you. Ten taels of silver per person."

"Those who want to sell will come tomorrow with their household registration!"

Now everyone was sure that he was telling the truth, but they all hesitated.

When they can't survive, some people even sell their children.

Selling them to official traffickers is of course a good idea. That is a formal human trafficking business, where people are sent to high-ranking officials or wealthy families to serve as slaves.

Of course, the price is not as much as that of private dentistry.

Someone hiding in the crowd shouted, "It's only ten taels of silver. Even a grown-up girl can accept ten taels as a betrothal gift!"

After all, if you marry a man, you will become a formal relative in the future, and it is not just about earning the ten taels of betrothal gift.

In the future, you should honor your parents-in-law during the four festivals of the year, which will be an income at least.

If this is sold for ten taels of silver, it would be a one-time deal.

Mingchen didn't even need to say anything. A guard said, "You guys are dreaming. It would be a blessing if this girl we brought back could get married. How dare you ask for a 10-liang betrothal gift?"

Although this was harsh to say, it was reality and the crowd suddenly quieted down.

Some parents who couldn't bear it asked, "Where will the officials send them?"

Mingchen said expressionlessly: "Then it's none of your business. It's not a bad place after all."

Everyone present was silent, but after a while some people started to move, and their choice was obvious.

Instead of taking the child back and then taking him back to be an asshole, it is better to sell him for money, which will benefit everyone.

Soon everyone left, and the women who were found were taken away for questioning.

Mingchen rubbed his aching head, looked at the dozens of people present, and touched his wallet.

Well, it’s only a few hundred taels of silver, which is enough for him to earn from tinkering with the flower dew.

If my sister knew what these women had gone through, she would definitely agree with his approach.

After being bought, whether they were sent to be maids or to work on the farm, these people at least had hope.

But those beggars deserve to die!

I hope that through this incident involving the eldest princess, we can clean up all these cancers at once.

Even if we can't completely eliminate it, it's good if we can prevent one less person from being harmed.

The interrogation lasted until dark that day, but no news about Wu Yunzhu was obtained from the mouths of these women.

This was also expected. After all, if there really was news, wouldn't we all be saved?

Wu Yunzhu isn't some stunning beauty, there's no need for her to move out as soon as she gets there...

Wu Yunzhu was actually being transferred at this time. She woke up in a daze and found herself in a car.

There were several people crowded around. Although I couldn't see clearly because it was dark, I could vaguely feel that they were girls of about the same age.

"Wow..." She wanted to ask where this was, but when she opened her mouth she found her mouth was blocked tightly.

Not to mention speaking, even breathing is a little difficult.

When she realized she was awake, a woman's voice rang out: "Be quiet, or I'll beat you to death!"

As she spoke, her large hand, like a palm-leaf fan, swung over and gave Wu Yunzhu a precise slap in the face.

When had Wu Yunzhu ever suffered such pain? The pain made her tears burst out.

But after being slapped, her body reacted before her brain could react - she didn't dare to make a sound.

Tears were clearly still flowing, but she didn't dare to even utter a sob.

After all, the person on the other side really dares to hit her, and might even dare to kill her.

She was so nervous all the way that she had no idea where the carriage was going.

On the other hand, the old woman spoke in a low voice but without avoiding people: "Dongzi, they've already said, why are you making such a big move today?"

A male voice outside said, "I heard that a big shot is missing, and the whole city is looking for him."

"Look, several strongholds have been wiped out."

"It's only because we're keeping secret here and haven't been targeted that we have time to move out of the city."

Mrs. Zhang said, "It's really strange. We pay our respects to them every year, but we dare not touch their true benefactors. How could they suddenly become rebellious?"

"Maybe it was done by those wild gangs in the west of the city. We dare not touch the nobles, they don't care!" Dongzi said hatefully.

He still felt a little upset, after all, he thought they did things according to a plan and had everything arranged from top to bottom.

And they usually follow the rules and don't move people who shouldn't move.

Those who are bullied are all poor people, or at most those who have a little money.

To be honest, if the girl is pretty enough, if she is sold to them, her future might be much better than staying at home.

"That's true. I hope we won't be implicated anymore." Mrs. Zhang also felt the same way.

After all, she knows everyone involved here, and no one stands out.

Whether it's his clothes or his temperament, he doesn't look like a nobleman at all.

Even when she transferred the business from other people, she would work with people she knew, and everyone knew her rules.

When kidnapping someone, they first look at their temperament, then their clothes, and finally their jewelry. If they don’t find anything too eye-catching, they will make their move.

But what she didn't expect was that there was another kind of person she would be - disguised~~

Old man Wang is also a veteran. Whether it is because of Mrs. Zhang's rules or because he is afraid of implicating himself, he will watch people being kidnapped.

Although the material of Wu Yunzhu's clothes today is good, they only look a little better.

Temperament is often related to appearance. She is just pretty and certainly doesn't look noble.

In addition, jewelry is common objects, making it even more difficult to distinguish.

The necklace he finally found around her neck was made of gold, enamel and gemstones, but it was too high-end for him to understand.

Old man Wang only thought about the value of gold, and he couldn't recognize the other inlays, so he ignored them.

In this way, Wu Yunzhu was unlucky and was sold to Mrs. Zhang.

The carriage circled around the city for a long time and finally arrived at the destination at dawn.

"Get off the carriage, don't try to play tricks on me!" Mrs. Zhang jumped off the carriage first and knocked on it with the stick in her hand.

The carriage curtains were opened and fixed on both sides, and the dim morning light from outside shone in, causing Wu Yunzhu's eyes to sting.

But she didn't dare close her eyes, so she forced herself to keep them open and slowly got off the bus behind others.

In the past, someone would carry her down from such a high carriage, or a young eunuch would squat on the ground and serve as a stool for her to get down.

Now, she could only muster up the courage to jump down.

"Hiss~~" The pain in her ankle made her regretful.

If she had known this would happen, she would never have let go of the ribbon...
