C452 Unusual
Feng Qing was single mother, so how could he endure this? Murong Yun was helpless. He had no choice but to put away his restless thoughts and continue walking with Luo Jianjian.
This Slave Market was very close to the north gate of the capital, so Murong Yun and Luo Jianjian directly walked to the north gate. The distance between him and the Luo Mansion was already very far.
The two of them relied on each other's reluctance to part ways until they reached here. When they saw the city gate tower, the two of them were also astonished.
"It's getting late, I'll send you back."
No matter how reluctant Murong Yun was, he still felt sorry for Luo Jianjian. Just as they were about to turn back, they suddenly saw a horse carriage walking out from a small path beside the city gate.
Luo Jianjian took a curious glance at the carriage and realized that it looked quite familiar. It was precisely the kind of wooden carriage that she saw together with Feng Qing in the Slave Market today, covered with a black cloth.
"Why does this carriage have to leave the city in the middle of the night?"
Luo Jianjian curiously pulled Murong Yun and watched from the side. The Heavenly Awakening Capital City Sect has its entrance gates, but if it's a merchant that deals in business, or one that has the permission of the royal family, they can leave the city at night if they need to hurry or have any other urgent matters.
"It's just a business deal. It's not strange for someone to leave the city at night, is it?"
Murong Yun said, but Luo Jianjian felt that something was wrong. She watched as the carriage stopped in front of the city gate. She spoke a few words with the guard, who opened the gate for him.
It wasn't a big deal, but Luo Jianjian noticed that the horse carriage that was leaving the city wasn't empty.
The horse that was pulling the carriage appeared to be very strenuous, and the bumpy condition of the carriage definitely did not seem like a relaxed, empty carriage. Luo Jianjian was still hesitating when the city gate opened wide and a gale blew through the hall.
The strong wind lifted up a corner of the black cloth covering the carriage. This was an opportunity for Luo Jianjian to clearly see that the wooden cage of the carriage was filled with people!
These people were all young children, but these children weren't awake. Each and every one of them had their eyes closed as they slept without making a sound. It was extremely strange.
What made Luo Jianjian even more baffled was why the carriage was still filled with people when it left the city.
"Murong Yun, will the people in the capital sell their children?"
"Of course not. The capital was the head of a nation. If the people of the capital were so bitter that they wanted to sell their children for a living, then the Heavenly Awakening would also almost reach its end. Although the citizens of the capital are not all that rich, at least they are not in need of food and drink.
"That's strange. What is the meaning behind the child that was sent out of the carriage?"
Luo Jianjian was even more confused by the Slave Market, but she was unsure of what she should do, so she could only watch as the horse carriage drove out of the city.
Murong Yun sent Luo Jianjian to the Luo Mansion entrance, then reluctantly bid her farewell.
"Jianjian, don't worry. I'll definitely reject all opinions. Sooner or later, I'll make you my Queen."
"Murong Yun, don't be impatient. The knot in my Association of 100 cannot be removed, even if you forcefully push me to the back, I won't be able to sit peacefully."
"Then I shall help you investigate the matter regarding Association of 100."
"No, I'll do it myself."
"You don't believe me?"
"It's not that I don't believe you. It's just that you've ascended the throne as the new emperor with a lot of government. Besides, if you focus on me, you will make the officials criticize me even more. Believe me, I can do it myself. "
Murong Yun didn't say anything else and just looked at Luo Jianjian with a pained expression.
The next day, when Luo Jianjian was pulled by Little White to shop, she was not in the mood to buy anything. She only happened to glance at the people's affairs in the capital as she thought about the carriage last night.
When they were passing by Beijing and Ya, Luo Jianjian and Little White saw that the surprised entrance was filled with people. It was unknown what they were doing.
Luo Jianjian originally wanted to take a detour to leave, but Little Daylight was a person who liked to join in on the fun. He forcefully pulled Luo Jianjian forward.
Only when they got closer did they hear that there were a few women crying and howling at the entrance of the city yamen who wanted to report the crime.
"What a damned thief, stealing everything. Now, he's not even sparing his children!"
"Yeah, what's there to steal from that child?"
"All of them are my parents' flesh and blood. I don't know if I'll be able to get them back."
The more Luo Jianjian heard, the more suspicious she felt. Why did the slaver's carriage leave the city last night, and someone lose their child today?
Could it be …
Luo Jianjian thought as she squeezed forward. Lil 'White originally felt bored and did not want to continue watching the show. However, when he noticed that Luo Jianjian had gotten interested, he had no choice but to follow her.
"When was the child lost? Where did you leave it? "
Luo Jianjian went up and asked. The crying women were stunned, thinking that Luo Jianjian knew where her children were, so they all rushed up.
"Do you know where my girl is?"
"Did you see my cubs?"
These women's eyes were red from crying as they questioned with all their might. Luo Jianjian shook her head. She just wanted to confirm.
"Just tell me, when did you lose the child?"
"Last night …" "The thief poured the sleeping incense into the house, and all of us adults slept soundly. When we woke up this morning, the child was gone."
"Bewitching Fragrance …"
Luo Jianjian whispered, remembering that the children on the carriage from last night were all fast asleep.
"No wonder that horse carriage was full when it left the city. It turns out that the slave trader didn't buy or sell children at all, but stole them to sell!" Damn it! "
Luo Jianjian instantly understood, but she couldn't say anything as she had no proof. Thinking about the suspicious QI Dan on the little girl's finger that she wanted to buy, she hurriedly turned around and ran towards the Slave Market.
"Sister!" Slow down, why do you sound like you're reincarnated! "
Little White followed behind while gasping for breath. When the two of them reached Slave Market, Luo Jianjian rushed towards the slave owner.
The slave owner was stunned when he saw Luo Jianjian.
"Madam, why have you come today? Do you still want to buy slaves? I don't dare to sell them to you in large quantities. "
"Where is my girl?"
"That girl? Didn't I make an appointment with you for two days? You can come and get her tomorrow. "
"I want it today!"
Luo Jianjian had an uncompromising expression on her face, while the slave owner sneered coldly.
"I know Madam, your status is honorable, but you can't act as you please." This slave farm has its own rules. Even if you bring them to the emperor, we have our reasons for doing so. This person, you can either come back tomorrow or we won't do business, but I've said in advance that the one hundred silver you handed over is for deposit and won't go back. "
The slave owner had a shrewd look on his face. At this moment, Luo Jianjian's heart was filled with anger, and she couldn't care less about the rules he laid down.
"I'm asking you!"
The slave owner was stunned. When he saw that Luo Jianjian was insisting on it, he was displeased.
"I can't fight with you, but I'm sorry. I want people, I don't have any!"1
