"Okay, thank you." Xie Jinglan nodded in thanks.
The three of them walked in the direction the man pointed.
At this time, Xie Jinglan saw a figure limping. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Fusheng.
He was still wearing the same clothes, and it looked like he had been beaten. He was dirty and had several holes in his clothes.
She glanced at the people around her and called out softly, "Fusheng."
Fusheng stopped when he heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw three strangers who looked like rich ladies. He was a little confused and asked, "Miss, are you calling me?"
"It's me." Xie Jinglan looked at him. He had indeed been beaten up, with a bruised face and nose. "What happened? I haven't seen you for only two hours, and you're already beaten like this?"
Fusheng recognized her voice and was very surprised, but the next second, he started to run.
"Why are you running?" Xie Jinglan caught up with him in a few steps, grabbed him by the back of his collar, dragged him to the side of the road, and asked, "You're running away when you see me? Have you done something wrong?"
"I didn't." Fusheng suddenly burst into tears. "The silver and snacks you gave me were all taken away by them."
"What? You couldn't even hide this little thing well? It was easily snatched away!" Xie Jinglan was so disappointed in him that she really wanted to slap him.
More than two taels of silver may not be a big deal to her, but it is of great use to a poor family like his.
"There were so many of them that I couldn't beat them all. They even accused me of hiding things." Fusheng said with his head down.
"They said you hid something?" Xie Jinglan sensed something was amiss. "So you know them?"
"Well, one of them is our eldest brother, and all the money we get must be handed over to him, but my grandma and sister haven't eaten anything all day." Fusheng said.
Xie Jinglan understood that these kids were part of a gang, and there was someone who specifically controlled these kids and let them steal and rob, and all the money they got had to be handed over to him.
"You're so stupid! If you give everything to them, what will your grandma and sister eat?"
"But if we don't give it to him, we can't stay in Mincheng to beg. We have nowhere to go..." Fusheng said and started crying again.
Xie Jinglan felt a headache. "Where do you live then? Take me to see it and bring some food to your grandma and sister."
Those children are everywhere. If we give him silver, he will still be snatched away by those people. It is better to find his home and give him some silver directly.
Hearing this, Fusheng's eyes lit up, "Okay."
"Then let's go quickly, I have things to do." Xie Jinglan said.
"Yes." Fusheng hurriedly led the way.
Beitang Yuan behind him couldn't help but shake his head, and followed them with Zhu Yichen.
The west of Mincheng is where the poor live. When you turn a street, you will see a group of dilapidated houses.
The three of them followed Fusheng for a while and finally stopped at a house that was leaking everywhere.
Seeing that the door was open, Fusheng walked in, "Grandma, sister, there are guests..."
But when he saw the situation inside, he was stunned for a moment, and then he exclaimed, "Mother..."
Xie Jinglan felt something was wrong and followed him in. She saw an old lady lying on the ground with blood all over her head.
"Grandma..." Fusheng threw himself on her and burst into tears.
"Let me take a look." Xie Jinglan felt the old lady's neck and found that she was already dead.
There was a rotten stool covered in blood on the ground. It seemed that someone had hit the person to death with this stool.
She looked at the messy house, which had obviously been ransacked, and said, "Go find your sister."
Fusheng then remembered his sister and ran out to look for her.
"It seems that because of the silver you gave, those people thought Fusheng still had it, so they came to his house and searched it. They looted all the valuable things in the house and took away his sister. That's why the old lady fought with them to the death." Beitang Yuan analyzed.
The money she gave him actually harmed his family.
"Let's find his sister first." Xie Jinglan walked out of the dilapidated house with a cold face.
"Yue'er! Yue'er..." Fusheng called his sister everywhere.
At this time, an old man came out of a dilapidated house across the street and said, "Fusheng, stop shouting. Your sister was taken away by Lai San. He said he wanted to sell her to a trafficker."
"Where did they go? How long did they walk?" Xie Jinglan asked the old man.
"Fusheng knows the place. They have been walking for a quarter of an hour. If you walk fast, you may be able to catch up with them." The old man said, shaking his head regretfully.
"Lead the way quickly." Xie Jinglan said to Fusheng.
Fusheng wiped his tears with his sleeve and ran ahead to lead the way.
A quarter of an hour later, they arrived at the human tooth market. Fusheng saw Lai San at a glance and said, "Miss, that's him."
At this time, Lai San also saw Fusheng and walked towards him. "Boy, let's see if you dare to hide silver again in the future? I've already sold your sister as punishment. And your old man is dead. Let's see what reason you have to hide silver in the future."
"You killed my grandma..." Fusheng rushed forward to fight him, but Xie Jinglan had already made a move before him and kicked Lai San in the chest, but did not kill him.
"boom!"
Lai San was lying on the ground, stunned by the beating. He was furious and said, "Who dares to touch me?"
Xie Jinglan stabbed Lai San's palm with a dagger, causing him to scream in pain.
"Who did you sell that person to?"
Lai San looked up and saw a stranger. His face suddenly turned fierce. "You bitch, you dare to hit me? Do you know who I am..."
Xie Jinglan's eyes turned fierce, she pulled out the dagger and stabbed it into his other hand.
"what--"
"If you don't tell me, I'll cut off his head." Beitang Yuan stepped on Lai San's chest.
"I say..." Lai San looked at these three people with extraordinary temperament and was scared.
"Find the person out." Xie Jinglan pulled out a dagger.
"Yes..." Lai San got up and quickly led them over. His hands were covered in blood, shocking the people around him so much that they all stepped back.
"I sold the person to him." Lai San raised his arm and pointed.
Xie Jinglan took a look and saw a man sitting at a table, happily counting some banknotes.
She dragged Lai San over, pressed his head on the table, and asked coldly, "Where's that little girl he just sold? Hand her over!"
However, the man looked calm, as he had seen many people who were more aggressive than her.
"Every industry has its own rules. Since he has already sold the person to me, he is now my person."
"Really?" Xie Jinglan raised her knife and slashed, knocking one of Lai San's arms off. "Is this considered a rule? Or should we add yours?"
Seeing someone coming to cause trouble, a group of hundreds of people surrounded them with swords and knives, all with fierce looks on their faces.
"Hmph!" Beitang Yuan grabbed the man through the air, and he slowly rose into the air. "Can we talk about the rules now?"
"Sir, please spare my life... Go and release him..." the man shouted in horror.
