Sang Wan grabbed the ghostly pale hand.

"Help! Help! Someone's killing me!"

The owner of the hand screamed in pain.

Yan Hong yelled and clapped her hands vigorously, making a splash of red: "What the hell are you yelling about!"

A pale face with dark circles under the eyes peeked out from the other side of the wooden fence, frightening Sang Wan so much that she gasped, "Who are you?"

"Are you Ah Wan?! God of Gamblers, please save me!"

Sang Wan frowned and looked closer, but couldn't make out who it was. Who was it?

His hair was messy and covered with straw, his face was covered with moss and mud, his eyes were dull and lifeless, with black circles like a panda's, and his clothes were so dirty that they looked like they had been fished out of a swamp, fishy and smelly.

"You don't recognize me? I'm Yan Qianzhi, the one you played dominoes with!"

Yan Qianzhi grabbed the wooden fence with both hands, wishing she could stick her head through the gap in the wood so that Sang Wan could see enough.

Sang Wan reached out and wiped the mud off her face. "It's really you! Oh my God, why are you here?"

Yan Qianzhi is the youngest daughter that the Minister of Rites loves the most!

The golden branches and jade leaves in Shangjing!

The only daughter of the Yan family for generations, the apple of the eye!

"woo woo woo woo……"

Yao Qianzhi was filled with grievances and started crying before she even opened her mouth.

Her crying triggered a wave of crying behind her. Only then did Sang Wan realize that there were many other women in the cell next door besides Yan Qianzhi.

Most of them were so hungry that they had no strength left, and even their cries were very soft and gentle.

"A few days ago I heard that you got upset and ran away from home. Why are you locked up here?"

Yan Qianzhi cried and sobbed:

"It's all your fault."

"Blame me?" Sang Wan was confused. "What does this have to do with me?"

"Last time we played dominoes, you won all my coats. What a shame!

I heard there's a domino master in this ghost market, so I thought I'd come and ask for some advice, and then I'll avenge myself with you!

But I didn’t expect that I would be captured before I even entered the ghost market! Woo woo woo…”

"..." Sang Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and couldn't help pinching her nose, "You smell... pretty strong."

"These bastards, they caught me and were afraid that the soldiers would come after me, so they threw me into the night-scented barrel!"

Yanhong couldn't hold it back any longer and laughed till tears came out.

Yan Qianzhi cried even more sadly.

"What about these girls?"

Sang Wan looked hard at the shadows, and after his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he finally saw things more clearly.

There are quite a few girls locked up inside.

"They were all captured by the lord of this ghost town. I heard there are many more out there, and I don't know if they were sold or killed.

Ah Wan, these people are so scary! You are smart, think of a way to rescue us.”

Yao Qianzhi cried and made a fuss the first day she was brought in, but she calmed down after being beaten a few times.

"Don't they know who you are?" Yan Hong was puzzled. "How dare Wang Dana touch the daughter of a high-ranking official?"

"I told you! I told you that if my father knew I was captured, he would definitely bring his troops and kill them all!

But they said I was bragging! They said they went out and asked around, and there was no one like me in the Minister of Rites' family!

Yan Qianzhi was furious: "My name is pronounced Qian, but these idiots pronounced it Xi! They are stupid and didn't listen to my explanation. Then they came back and beat me up!"

So she shut up and never dared to say another word.

This time, not only Yanhong laughed to death, but even Qingshan who was guarding the door couldn't help laughing to tears.

This is truly the most miserable daughter in Beijing.

After Sang Wan comforted Yan Qianzhi, he waved his hand and called those women forward. After questioning them one by one, he found out that they were all women who had disappeared in Beijing recently.

Many of them have been transferred by Wang Dana and their whereabouts are unknown.

"Wang Dana is secretly doing the business of begging for money! Damn it!" The more Yan Hong thought about it, the more she felt that feeding the fish was too easy for him!

Sang Wan said to Qingshan: "To catch a thief, we must first catch the leader. We must control Wang Xiaoer before we can control the entire Ghost City Guard."

"He's a very ambitious man and has long since refused to submit to Wang Dana. Now that he's in power, he must be in the City Lord's Cave."

Qingshan whispered and blew a whistle. A black shadow flashed into the dungeon like the wind. He raised his knife and chopped the guard unconscious with the back of the knife. He then dragged the guard towards the prison door. It was Xiaoshun.

Yan Hong had already pried open the lock. Qingshan rushed out, took the hemp rope from the wall, and tied up the guard at the gate tightly. Sang Wan took the opportunity to stuff a pill into his mouth.

"This is a mute drug, better than gagging."

Yan Hong gave a thumbs up: "It has to be you."

Yan Qianzhi waved excitedly: "Quick, let us out too."

Yan Hong hissed and went to unlock the door:

"Keep your voice down, don't attract anyone."

"Nice craftsmanship, Sister Hong."

Sang Wan praised sincerely, saying that the lock-picking technique was so powerful that it was almost effortless.

"If you want to travel around the country and perform, you must have some skills." Yan Hong smiled brightly, and her smile almost overlapped with Li Jiu's.

Sang Wan felt much more relieved. She instructed Yan Hong, "You and Xiao Shun take these girls out. Qingshan and I will go and subdue Wang Xiaoer."

Xiao Shun was about to object when Sang Wan glanced at him:

"Who is the master?"

"You." Xiao Shun scratched his head.

"Hurry! Nothing must happen to any of the girls here. Baili Xi will definitely come to pick us up at the appointed time. With him here, nothing will happen!"

Seeing that he was worried, Sang Wan assured him:

"Nothing will happen to me!"

Yan Hong: "There is a secret passage out of the dungeon. Girls, follow me."

Xiao Shun bowed with a bitter face: "Master."

"Let's go." Sang Wan pushed him.

Yan Qianzhi took two steps forward and then turned back, hugging Sang Wan tightly: "Ah Wan, how can I thank you!"

Ugh… Sang Wan tried hard to suppress the urge to vomit, “Don’t be so quick to thank me, go back and wash up quickly, the smell… Ugh… is too strong…”

...vomiting dividing line...

She followed Qingshan up the stairs to the city lord's cave to find Wang Xiaoer.

After the fear they had just experienced, the people in the ghost market returned to their caves like swallows returning to their nests. Only candles and patrolling guards remained on the streets.

Qingshan was worthy of being born in a ghost town. He took a winding road, either drilling through wells or going around beams, perfectly avoiding patrols and reaching the high buildings.

After the two of them crouched down and sneaked into the city lord's meeting room, they heard Wang Xiaoer and his friends talking.

"My eldest brother is dead, and I have the final say in this ghost town now. If you don't negotiate your business with me, who else can you talk to?"

The shadow's voice was a little hoarse, like a broken gong: "Do you have the ability to talk to me?"

"I didn't? Haha, you don't know how Wang Dana died. Survival of the fittest, that's destiny.

Master Wu, if he can do it, I can do it too. There are more than a dozen girls in the dungeon. If you recognize me as your brother, these girls tonight will be my gift to Master Wu.

In the future, the ghost town will still be a ghost town, or it will still be the back garden of a nobleman. How about you and I continue?"

He laughed dryly a few times, his voice hoarse. "Brother Wang is so generous, I can't refuse it. But I'm only doing things for you, my dear. This..."

"Don't worry! Wang Dana gave you 30% before, and I'll give you 40%. How about that?"

"I feel relieved with your words. Then let's make a deal. At midnight today, you should send the person to the exit of Cuijing Garden, and I will send someone to pick him up." said Master Wu.

Wang Xiaoer was extremely humble and polite: "Don't worry, Master Wu! I will definitely do this job for you."

"No need to see me off. I'll go by myself."

"Okay, okay, take care. Take care."

Wang Xiaoer nodded and bowed for a while before raising his head.

The attendant beside him was a little puzzled: "City Lord, doesn't this Wu Ye know the nobles in the palace? Why don't you ask if that Jianing County Lady is real?"

Wang Xiaoer hit him on the head:

"Stupid! Why ask him! Can't we just get close to the emperor's uncle and the imperial concubine ourselves? Look at his face. I told him 40% chance, and he agreed right away. He's not even afraid of choking to death! Wait until I can get close to the nobles in the palace through him, and then I'll kill this rootless bastard!"

"Bah, he still calls me Master! He doesn't deserve it!"

The guard quickly handed over the tea and flattered him:

"If he is the master, then you are the ancestor!"
