Chapter 51 Human Trafficker

A thin but shrewd woman stood by the wooden barrel.

She pinched Su Yuexi's chin and looked at her carefully.

She said with satisfaction: "Not bad, Ma Saner, the stuff you found this time is actually a top-notch one!"

Looking at the bone structure and the eyebrows, she will definitely be a stunning little beauty when she grows up. "

"A little dark and thin, but let my old sister take care of it for a few days, and it will be fine. "

The woman couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.

"Hong Gu, how about this silver..." At this time, a man with pockmarks on his face came up and asked in a flattering manner.

"Hmph." The thin woman rolled her eyes at the pockmarked man and said:

"When have I, Hong Gu, ever cheated you? I'll give you 20 taels of silver for this girl. Next time you have this kind of girl, remember to send it to me."

"20 taels!" The man exclaimed. This price was not low. You have to know that he was doing a business without capital.

Usually, it would be good for a little girl to sell for five or six taels of silver.

"Hmph, you have never seen the world." Hong Gu said disdainfully.

After that, she looked at Su Yuexi with satisfaction.

"Okay, let's leave the city today. I am very satisfied with this cargo. No need to wait any longer."

"Load it. "Hong Gu said to another man.

The man responded in a low voice.

Then Su Yuexi was stuffed into a secret compartment under a carriage.

She was thin and curled up inside, but there was still space.

From what they said, it seemed that she was caught by human traffickers.

As for what kind of human traffickers dared to catch a young lady from an official family, or why would they take the risk of catching a young lady from an official family?

Su Yuexi couldn't help but suspect that someone was deliberately trying to harm her.

And the only person who disliked her was Su Yueyan. .

This paragraph does not exist in the original book.

However, the plot has changed beyond recognition now, and it is unreliable to examine the original book.

Besides, knowing who is the one who wants to harm her is not the most important thing now. The most important thing now is to find a way to escape!

Fortunately, she knew that the other party would not kill her.

Then she will definitely find a chance to escape.

After the woman and the man drove the carriage away.

The men in the courtyard asked Ma Saner, "Brother San, Wu Suozi gave us silver to let us kill this little girl. Will it be okay if we sell her? "

Wu Suozi is Su Yueyan's maid, Bilian's brother from her mother's family.

Bilian sold herself to work as a maid in the mansion, but she was loyal to her family and basically gave all the money she earned to her family.

Knowing that her daughter needed help, she hoped that her brother could be favored by the lady.

Wu Suozi was not a decent person. He spent his days fighting cocks and running errands, hanging out with all kinds of people.

So he met Ma Saner and did a few kidnappings with him. He was considered Ma Saner's peripheral younger brother. But not a close confidant.

"Something happened? What could happen?" Ma Saner weighed the silver in his hand and sneered.

"Have you heard of any of the girls who fell into Hong Gu's hands escaping?"

"They have boats that go directly south. The good ones are treated as Yangzhou skinny horses. The bad ones are either sold to the ravines or sent to brothels. Which one is not a cash cow? "Want to escape? Even if you have wings, it's hard." "Besides, where will the extra money of twenty taels of silver come from if you kill him? ! Just tell Wu Suozi that he is dead. Let's go, I'll treat the brothers to a drink!" "Yes, yes, the third brother is still smart!" The people below couldn't help but echoed. Over there, Tingzhu ran back to the Marquis's mansion desperately and went straight to the Marquis's study. The guards at the door of Marquis Su's study stopped Tingzhu. "Guard brother, hurry up, our girl is in trouble! "Tingzhu said in a crying voice.

She didn't dare to make it public all the way, and she didn't dare to cry even when she reached the gatehouse, for fear of being seen.

The reputation of the girl is extremely important.

If she let it be known that her daughter was kidnapped, even if she was rescued, her life would be ruined.

The guards didn't go into the backyard. They didn't recognize all the maids.

So the guard didn't know who Tingzhu's master was, but he could guess that it must be the lady of the mansion.

He didn't dare to neglect it and immediately took her to the study to report.

"My Lord, it's bad, the third lady disappeared in the market!" Tingzhu entered the study and knelt on the ground with a plop.

"What?!" Lord Su was shocked.

"What's going on?" He knew that his daughter always wanted to run away.

But they planned to let her go tomorrow. Could it be that she couldn't wait?

Ting Zhu immediately led a group of people to pretend to catch a thief, and then dispersed them, and then the young lady told him about her disappearance.

After hearing this, Lord Su was furious.

How could he not guess that his daughter was kidnapped by someone with ulterior motives!

Who was so bold as to kidnap his daughter!

Even if he had to dig three feet into the ground, he would find her back.

"An Yi, take a few more people to investigate! You must bring her back to me!"

Lord Su said in a deep voice.

A man in black appeared outside the door, bowed and promised to leave.

He shouted again: "An Wu, quickly inform Yue Xuan of this matter, and let him take people to find Xi'er. Remember, don't let the news leak out."

"Yes." A voice came from somewhere in the courtyard.

[

Chapter 52 Interrogation

The reason why they couldn't find someone in a big way was because Su Yuexi was a girl.

Also because her identity had not been exposed. Outsiders still don't know that the Marquis's Mansion has a new daughter.

If she is exposed at this critical moment, Su Yuexi's name will definitely be on the exile list.

Marquis Su stood up and looked at Tingzhu, and said coldly: "Why didn't you report to the mansion when you went out?"

Tingzhu was so scared that he trembled and sat on the ground.

"Yes, the girl said that the lady was sick, we just went out for a walk, so, we didn't tell the family..."

Marquis Su took a deep breath.

He guessed that Su Yuexi might want to stock up and put it in the space she always talked about.

"Twenty big sticks, go to the housekeeper to receive the punishment."

At the same time, he winked at the guards, keep an eye on her!

This maid knew that there were secret guards in the Marquis's Mansion, so she shouldn't have been alive.

But she was the eldest maid named by her daughter herself. If she was loyal, it would not be impossible to keep her.

The guards in the mansion were all Marquis Su's confidants, so it was natural.

After that, he didn't look at Tingzhu anymore and stood up and left the study.

Tingzhu collapsed on the ground.

The guard who had brought her in just now pulled her up and took her away from the study.

Marquis Su frowned and went to Wutong Courtyard.

Thinking about how to tell Mu Wanqing about this.

He knew that if he hid this from his wife, he would be in trouble if she found out in the future.

As for Su Yuexuan, he disguised himself as an ordinary-looking businessman and came to a courtyard.

Here, according to his father's instructions, he arranged for people to secretly liquidate some of the Su family's assets that were not exposed.

It is said that the world will be in chaos soon after the second prince usurps the throne.

Then of course, it would be better for his family to get rid of the assets in their hands as soon as possible.

Anyway, there are many nobles in the capital, and it is easy to get rid of the assets.

At this time, a secret guard came in and reported Su Yuexi's disappearance and the Marquis's instructions.

Su Yuexuan's face turned slightly cold after hearing the news.

Although he and Su Yuexi didn't have a deep brother-sister relationship.

But she was his biological sister anyway.

She was the real daughter of Su Wuhou's mansion.

The thief dared to make trouble, he was tired of living.

He felt pity for Su Yuexi's experience. At this time, he was really angry.

He immediately put down the things in his hands and called people to go to the market together.

An Yi had already found the nest of a gang of hooligans headed by Ma San in the market before him.

There were several groups of hooligans in the market, but only Ma San's group was involved in human trafficking.

Several hooligans were kneeling in the yard.

They were spineless, and they said that they had kidnapped a lady today when they were threatened.

Ma San usually yelled in front of his younger brothers, but he was trembling with fear at this time.

He just wanted to get some money, so he kidnapped a young lady who didn't look like she was from a wealthy family.

Who knew that he would get into such a big trouble.

The little girl looked very dark and thin, which young lady would look like this?

I didn't expect that such a girl would be from a prominent family!

If he had known this, he would not have taken the job if the money was so hot!

At this moment, he almost hated Wu Suozi to death.

Besides, how could it be exposed so quickly?

Ma San remembered that he had handed this matter over to his subordinates Erwuzi and Wang Dahan.

Could it be that they were not doing their job well?

At this time, Erwuzi was heard crying and begging for mercy under the interrogation of the secret guards:

"Master, please forgive me. I just saw that girl and a little maid at that time.

I asked someone to push them apart, and then tied up the little girl in the chaos.

Then I took her to the house in Baishu Hutong. I really don't know what happened afterwards!

I really don't know, really! Woo woo woo..."

Ma San was shocked when he heard it. I'll kill you, Erwuzi!

He wanted to kick him.

There was actually a fish that slipped through the net!

Why didn't he tie up the maid together? Otherwise, how could it be exposed so quickly? !

He really regretted handing the matter over to this Erwuzi and Wang Dahan. These two idiots are so unlucky!

When Su Yuexuan walked into the yard, he heard An Yi's interrogation here.

He immediately took people to the house in Baishu Hutong.

It was empty.

And the house was rented by Ma Saner.

No matter how they tortured them, they could not tell the origins of Hong Gu and her gang.

Ma San even told them everything he knew.

He was beaten to pieces and tears.

But there was no progress in the investigation.

Because Hong Gu and her gang were extremely cautious.

Every time she took the initiative to find Ma San.

When Ma San had goods, he would draw some secret codes on a wall. A few days later, Hong Gu would personally bring people here to pick them up.

Only Hong Gu came to see Ma San, and Ma San never knew where to find Hong Gu.

Ma San had never thought much about this before, as long as he got the money.

Who knew that now he was almost beaten to death because of this.

The secret guards quickly interrogated Wu Suozi, and found out that Wu Suozi was the maid of Su Yueyan, the second lady of the Marquis's mansion, and Bilian's brother.

This matter suddenly involved Su Yueyan.

Su Yuexuan's expression became gloomy.

[

Chapter 53 Imperial Manor

Hong Gu and the man drove a carriage to a large manor outside the capital.

This area is all imperial manor.

That is to say, the owner of the manor is a royal relative.

They entered a spacious courtyard with several barns standing in the courtyard.

At this time, the carriage finally stopped, and the man dragged Su Yuexi out of the secret compartment of the carriage.

Su Yuexi was shaken and swore in her heart.

She saw the barn in the yard and guessed that this was a farm.

Hong Gu looked at her and sneered: "See, this big yard?

There are yards like this nearby, and our farm is within a few miles. You can't run away even if you want to."

Then she said to the man: "Take the thing off her mouth."

Then she warned Su Yuexi:

"I advise you to be obedient when you come to my territory. Don't think of shouting for help. No one will come to save you even if you shout your throat out. If I hear you shouting, I will cut off your tongue and feed it to the dogs!"

"Don't think I can't do such a thing!"

Su Yuexi pretended to be terrified and nodded repeatedly.

The man tore the cloth from her mouth.

Then he dragged her into a house.

The floor of the room was covered with hay.

There were three listless girls huddled together.

They were all tied up, and their mouths were not stuffed with rags.

When they saw Su Yuexi being thrown in, their eyes moved, but that was all.

They looked weak and weak, and they knew they were very weak.

Su Yuexi knew that the traffickers would starve them to prevent the goods from escaping.

She was pushed to the ground by the man, and could only arch her back like a shrimp, find balance and sit up by rubbing against the wall.

She did not get together with the three girls, but found a comfortable position to close her eyes and take a nap against the wall.

Seeing this, Hong Gu and the man nodded with satisfaction.

They locked the door from the outside and left.

At night, Su Yuexi opened her eyes.

If it were an ordinary girl, she might not be able to run away if she was tied up in such a farm.

But Su Yuexi has a cheat.

With a thought, the ropes that bound her hands and feet disappeared instantly and were put into the space.

Then Su Yuexi took out a powerful pill from the space and ate it.

This pill produced by the system melted in her mouth.

It had no taste.

Soon she felt her whole body getting hot and her strength soaring.

She felt that if she climbed over the wall now, she could run 20 miles without stopping.

This gave her some confidence.

The room was pitch black, with only a little moonlight coming in through the paper-pasted window.

You could see the vague outline of the room.

Su Yuexi was not sure if the girls were all asleep.

If she left the room, it would be bad if someone saw her and called out.

Su Yuexi hesitated for a while, but decided to help them.

More people escaping could also distract some attention. As for who could successfully escape, it was up to fate.

Thinking like this, she conjured up a knife and approached the three girls.

"Are you awake?" she asked quietly.

"Yes." A little girl answered softly.

"Stretch out your hands, I'll untie you." Su Yuexi said.

The girl was delighted and stretched out her hands quickly.

Su Yuexi used the faint moonlight to cut the rope on her hands, and then the rope on her feet.

Then the next one.

After untying the three girls, she lowered her voice and said:

"You hide in the house first and don't make any noise. I'll go outside to take a look."

"If I make a cat cry later, you run out. After running out, you must disperse, so that you won't all be caught back. Do you hear me?"

The three girls aged twelve or thirteen nodded excitedly.

Su Yuexi thought about it, and pretended to take out three cakes from her arms and stuffed them into the three girls.

It contains oil and sugar, which should be able to temporarily replenish some physical strength.

Then, she came to the door in the dark.

The copper lock outside the door was also quietly put into the space under her mind.

She gently opened the door, trying not to let it creak.

The yard was very quiet, so she could hear clear voices coming from a room near the gate.

The dim light and human figures were visible on the paper window.

From the content, it was not difficult to guess that the people in the room were drinking and eating meat.

"Haha, refreshing, the meat is stewed fragrantly, pour me another glass of wine!"

This was the voice of a big man, not the voice of the man Su Yuexi saw during the day.

"Hey, boss, what are you touching in front of Gangzi!" The voice was Hong Gu.

At this time, her voice was less harsh than during the day, and more charming and artificial.

"What's wrong? Stop pretending to be a chaste woman. I've seen you flirting with Gangzi for a long time."

"How about it? Today, the two of us will serve you alone. I promise you will be comfortable!"

"Oh, you bad guy!" Hong Gu's voice came out.

"Haha, give me a kiss."

After a while, an unbearable sound came from the room.

[

Chapter 54: Collecting food~

It seems that except for the people who are eating and drinking in the house.

In this huge yard, there is no one else guarding.

This is a good opportunity.

[Hehe, you have to pay a price for kidnapping me! ]

[This is what you deserve! ]

Su Yuexi thought as she quickly collected all the food in the barn in the yard into the space.

I didn't expect that she could make a fortune after being kidnapped.

How much money can she save with so much food?

Su Yuexi ran to the gate of the yard again.

She put the door lock on the gate into the space, and then let out a shrill cat cry.

From Hong Gu's room, a man's laughter and scolding were heard: "Damn, you are so coquettish that the cats outside are all aroused by you!"

Hong Gu scolded unwillingly: "Get out, you dare to tease me, I think you are itching for a fight~!"

Su Yuexi carefully hid in the shadows and moved lightly.

The three girls in the room heard Su Yuexi's cat cry and immediately ran out of the house.

The three of them were careful not to make any sound.

They ran to the gate of the yard and left the yard with Su Yuexi.

I didn't expect that this yard was a nested yard, with a yard outside and several barns.

Su Yuexi took advantage of the girls' inattention and collected all the grain in the barn into the space when passing by.

The barns in the two yards were truly empty.

It is strange that such a large yard is not guarded by anyone?

Soon, Su Yuexi's question was answered.

When they were about to run to the third courtyard, they found some guards.

Su Yuexi immediately grabbed two people, and the remaining person also stopped.

They were hiding in the shadow of the corner, and Su Yuexi whispered: "There are guards in the front yard. We can't run there anymore. I suggest we climb over the wall."

Several girls looked embarrassed, and one whispered: "I, I don't have much strength, I'm afraid I can't climb up the wall."

"If you climb up, do you dare to jump down?" Su Yuexi asked.

The girl nodded firmly and said: "Even if I fall to death, I dare to jump!"

The other two girls also nodded firmly. They all knew that if they didn't escape, the end would be worse than death.

"That's it, I'll help you climb the wall!" Su Yuexi said.

She squatted and let a girl step on her shoulders.

"Can you really do it?" The girl asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, hurry up!" Su Yuexi urged.

The girl stopped talking and stepped carefully on her shoulders. Su Yuexi asked her to hold the wall, then stood up easily and lifted the girl up.

The height of the two people combined was enough to climb up the wall, and the girl climbed up the wall neatly.

Su Yuexi helped the other two girls climb up the wall, and finally climbed up the wall herself.

From the top of the wall, you can see that the other side of the wall is also a yard with several barns.

Fortunately, there was a haystack against the wall, and they jumped on the haystack.

One of them seemed to have sprained her foot and let out a slight cry.

Although she covered her mouth in time, she still made a sound.

"Who?!" A man in the yard came out to urinate and heard a strange sound.

Su Yuexi suddenly had an idea and meowed twice.

"Where did the wild cat come from?" The man muttered, and left after urinating without coming to check.

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief and squatted in the shadow of the corner for a long time before they dared to move.

They slipped along the wall to the gate.

Su Yuexi took the opportunity to quietly take away all the grain in the granary in the yard.

This gate was not locked. They opened it and found that there was still a yard outside.

[I'm so angry!]

[Playing connect the dots here~]

Su Yuexi cursed in her heart.

She couldn't help but feel strange. The farm here was not the same as she remembered.

There were so many yards and barns here, but there were very few people in the yards.

The yards near the periphery were strictly guarded.

If they were guarding these girls who were trafficked and kidnapped, it was unlikely.

If they were guarding the grain, it didn't seem possible.

And why were there no farmers here?

Yes, those guards didn't look like farmers.

Su Yuexi ran into the yard with a few people with this question.

This was already the fourth yard.

Su Yuexi's eyes turned, and she thought of a good idea.

She whispered to the three girls: "It's not a good idea to run like this. There are guards outside. It's a waste of energy for us to just walk around inside."

"I have a fire starter here. You hide in a corner where you can't see me first. I'll go and light the haystack."

"Then let's disperse and set fire everywhere, and then run away in the chaos. What do you think?"

The girls nodded.

Su Yuexi took out the fire starter she bought and gave one to each of them.

This was bought secretly after she saw it at the market today. She bought a lot for fear that it would not be enough.

I didn't expect it to come in handy now.

"Well, next we will run away separately. I hope we can all escape!" Su Yuexi said.

The three girls nodded with tears in their eyes.

Su Yuexi reminded them again that they must run separately, so that the chance of escape is greater.

The girls all nodded and thanked Su Yuexi.

Su Yuexi trotted back to the haystack, set it on fire, and then set fire to the empty barn.

After that, she climbed over the wall to another yard.

Chapter 55 Prince Ning's Royal Farm

Sure enough, after a while, the thick smoke rising from the yard that was set on fire was discovered.

A panicked shout came from a distance.

"The fire broke out! The fire broke out!"

"Hurry up and put out the fire!"

"Go get some water!"

After hearing the noise, Su Yuexi set the current yard on fire.

This yard had no barn or haystack, but there was a firewood stack, and the fire was even more fierce when it was set on fire.

Then, she ran to the next yard.

This yard was full of car frames. And the car frames were piled with sacks.

Su Yuexi went over to check, and found that they were filled with grain!

She was delighted, and she put all the more than 20 car frames parked in the yard into her space.

What is a mouse falling into a rice jar?

Su Yuexi is now.

She ran away reluctantly. If she walked around the whole farm, she wouldn't have to spend money to buy food!

So much food, the more the better!

She found that there was a stable next door, with horses and mules inside.

However, Su Yuexi's space couldn't hold living things, and it would be too conspicuous to lead the animals, so she had to give up reluctantly.

Continue to climb over the wall.

Hey, out?

Su Yuexi saw the boundless fields outside the wall and realized that she had finally escaped.

She looked back at the farm reluctantly.

[Forget it, let's stop while we're ahead! ]

Su Yuexi jumped off the wall neatly and ran away.

The other three sisters were also very powerful, and each of them set at least one yard on fire.

The imperial farm was in chaos.

An Shiwu was searching in the suburbs of Beijing.

The second young master in the mansion deduced that the traffickers would leave Beijing in the afternoon, and they would definitely rest at a farm near the outskirts of Beijing.

After all, a long distance outside the outskirts of Beijing is open to the wild, and it is easy to have accidents if you travel overnight.

So the Marquis gave a death order to search the outskirts of Beijing overnight.

But the area of the outskirts of Beijing is too large, and sending dozens of secret guards is simply a drop in the bucket.

The area assigned to An Shiwu is exactly the area of the imperial manor.

He could only look around resignedly.

The noise of the flood in the imperial manor at night was very loud, which immediately attracted An Shiwu's attention, and he flew away quickly.

On the way, he saw a little girl running desperately with his amazing eyesight.

He immediately flew forward.

"Who are you?" he asked.

The little girl stopped, with horror on her face.

"Did you run away from the imperial manor?" An Shiwu asked.

The little girl was so frightened that she didn't know how to answer.

An Shiwu narrowed his eyes, "Were you kidnapped by human traffickers?"

The little girl had no choice but to nod.

An Shiwu immediately understood, "Have you ever seen such a little girl..."

He described Su Yuexi's appearance.

The little girl looked at her warily and shook her head without saying anything.

But An Shiwu had a keen eye, and he could tell at once that the other party was hiding something.

He said, "That's my family member, and I'm looking for her. Otherwise, what would I be doing here in the middle of the night?"

"Is everything you said true?" the little girl asked worriedly.

"Of course." An Shiwu smiled.

Under the moonlight, the boy's gentle smile made the little girl let down her guard.

She said, "I've seen her, she helped us escape. If you want to find her, go find her quickly, we ran in different directions!"

An Shiwu was delighted when he heard this.

He pointed in a direction and said, "Run in that direction and you will see the official road. Go north and you will reach the capital."

Then, An Shiwu continued to fly towards the imperial manor.

The imperial manor was already in chaos.

The manager of the imperial manor roared with a gloomy face, "How could so much food disappear?! Tell me why it disappeared?! If the master blames us, we will both die!"

Several subordinates listened to the lecture with dust on their faces.

On the surface, this imperial manor belonged to the emperor's uncle, the elderly Prince Desheng.

In fact, it was already the property of Prince Ning in private.

Most of the food in the manor was purchased recently and was ready to be transported to the private soldiers raised by Prince Ning in the mountains.

It just happened to be intercepted by Su Yuexi.

"What should we do? What should we do?" The manager of the imperial manor was anxious.

After the fire just broke out, people rushed to put out the fire, but soon other places also caught fire.

The steward immediately realized that someone had deliberately set the fire.

But the arsonist had not been caught yet, and it was discovered that all the food they had prepared before was gone.

Not only was the food in the four yards with barns emptied. Even the food that had been loaded on the trucks was gone.

What should we do? !

If the master knew that they were not doing their job well... Thinking of King Ning's methods, the steward couldn't help but tremble.

Several guards brought Hong Gu and two shirtless men over.

Manager Yu scolded them: "You slutty bitch, and you two softies!"

"Damn, the people you tied up ran away, and you still had time to hang around in the house! Did they set the fire?!"

In fact, the steward was more inclined to believe that someone rescued the girls and then set the fire.

But that also proved that King Ning's farm was exposed.

He really couldn't imagine the consequences of this incident, so he vented all his fear and anger on Hong Gu and the two men.

He kicked Hong Gu and cursed, "You bitch, did you kidnap someone you can't mess with?!"

【

Chapter 56 Population Business

"Manager Yu, I really don't have one!" Hong Gu lied on the ground with tears streaming down her face to defend herself.

In fact, she felt a little uneasy, as she had just taken over a little girl from Ma San during the day.

The girl was dressed in rich clothes, but looking at her appearance, although her bones were very good, she was very dark and thin.

Which girl from a wealthy family would grow up like this?

Maybe she was a poor relative of a wealthy noble who came to visit the capital.

So she took the person in without any worries, and at this time she didn't dare to think whether she really took in someone she shouldn't have taken in.

There were a group of people under King Ning who specialized in human trafficking.

The main target was pretty girls.

The ones with good looks were trained to be skinny horses or killers, and the rest were either given to officials or sent to brothels.

Those in the north were sold to the south, and those in the south were sold to the north.

They were not afraid that their families would come to them, because most of them were girls from ordinary families.

And this era was very demanding on women.

The girls who were taken away by King Ning's men either committed suicide, or those who didn't die became prostitutes, and they were too ashamed to recognize their relatives again.

After Su Yuexi ran out of the imperial farm for a while, she couldn't help but start thinking whether she should go back to the Marquis' Mansion or travel the world.

After thinking about it, she decided to obey the arrangement of God.

Since she had already left the Marquis' Mansion, she shouldn't go back.

Save the time to go to pray with Wenren Qiuchan, and then find a way to escape.

It's a waste of time.

I can only apologize to the Marquis's wife. I had planned to pray for her.

Thinking like this, Su Yuexi ran to a village unconsciously.

There are many low farmhouses here, which are ordinary people living.

Su Yuexi came to a shadow and changed her clothes into the ordinary clothes that Xu Po bought for her when she first entered the Marquis' Mansion.

After she changed the clothes, Xueying made an excuse that she couldn't bear to throw them away, so she asked someone to wash them and put them in the closet.

Later, she secretly put them in the space.

There were a few other clothes and accessories in the space, but they were all of the quality of a young lady from the Marquis's mansion.

What made Su Yuexi feel a little sorry was that she was tied up before she got the training clothes that the Marquis's wife had sent someone to customize for her.

When she thought of the clothes, she also thought that it would be inconvenient and unsafe for a girl like her to walk outside.

Tomorrow she had to find a way to get a boy's clothes and disguise herself as a boy.

It was dark at this time, and she planned to find a place in this village to spend the night.

As she walked, she saw a haystack outside a family's yard in the moonlight.

Her eyes lit up, because she had crawled into a haystack when she was a child.

Su Yuexi ran to the haystack, dug a hole in it, and stuffed herself in.

Then she covered it with some grass and spent the night like this.

Over there, An Shiwu let the little girl go and flew towards the direction of the imperial farm.

While the imperial manor was in a panic, he discovered something unusual here.

This imperial manor seemed unusual and must be hiding some secrets.

He didn't want to alert the enemy, but finding the third lady was more important.

Now he knew that the third lady was abducted to this imperial manor, but more than one girl escaped.

He was too busy to do anything.

Considering the death order from the Marquis, he thought again and again and fired a flare into the air, intending to find some helpers.

Yu, the steward of the imperial manor, also saw the flare in the night sky.

He was even more shocked. Who could have such a flare was not a subordinate trained by a powerful person? !

He was more convinced that his master's imperial manor had been exposed!

The grain must have been secretly transported away by these people.

Perhaps, there were spies in the manor long ago!

Thinking of this, steward Yu's legs went soft and his face turned pale.

It's over, it's really over this time!

After An Shiwu fired the flare, he gritted his teeth and put aside the matter of the imperial manor, and went around to look for the figure of his third young lady.

Not far away, he caught another running little girl, but this one was not his third young lady either.

He had seen the third young lady's appearance in the mansion.

So he asked the other party if she had seen Su Yuexi.

The girl was very frightened when he first caught her. After listening to his description of her appearance, she calmed down.

"Who are you?" the girl asked.

"I'm her brother. She was kidnapped during the day, and I'm looking for her overnight." An Shiwu had to lie.

The girl seemed to believe him and said, "I've seen her, but we ran away separately, and I don't know where she is."

An Shiwu had to give up.

After pointing the girl to the official road and the direction to the capital, he continued to look for her.

After An Shiwu sent out the signal, the nearby secret guards quickly found this place.

They left some people to investigate the imperial manor, and the rest continued to look for Su Yuexi.

Finally, they found the four girls who had escaped.

But they didn't find Su Yuexi.

They were also sure that there was no Su Yuexi in the imperial manor, which was strange.

Could it be that the third lady grew wings and flew away?

And in the imperial manor.

Yu Guanshi simply went all out and ordered people to tie up Hong Gu and others and throw them into the sea of fire.

Then he planned to set the entire imperial manor on fire and then escape with the guards.

Hopefully, some traces can be erased.

Chapter 57 We're all here

But the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind. The secret guards caught Yu Guanshi and the guards.

Yu Guanshi was a man who cherished his life and did not commit suicide immediately, so he was taken back by the secret guards with his jaw cut off.

As for the guards, they were all rough men who worked hard in the rivers and lakes.

Although they didn't know much about the inside story, they were all taken away.

Su Wuhou Mansion.

Since she knew that Su Yuexi was kidnapped, Mu Wanqing suddenly became anxious.

She stopped pretending to be sick and immediately got up to go out to look for someone.

She was stopped by Marquis Su.

After some consideration, Su Yuexuan chose to temporarily conceal the fact that Su Yueyan had harmed someone, and took people to the suburbs of Beijing to look for her.

Until the evening, she still hadn't found anyone, so Su Yuexuan returned home first, leaving the secret guards there to continue the search.

At this point, Su Yuexuan sighed and told the Marquis and his wife that Su Yuexi's disappearance was caused by someone hired by Su Yueyan.

"What?!"

Mu Wanqing stood up in anger, her hands shaking.

She had heard from her heart the truth about how Su Yuexi had complained about Su Yueyan's several attempts to frame her.

She also saw Su Yueyan's little thoughts with her own eyes.

She also knew that Su Yueyan was not as kind and innocent as she had shown before. Instead, she was full of scheming and calculations.

But she didn't blame her for it.

It is normal for a girl who grew up in a rich family to have a chance to plot against others.

It would be even more irritating if she raised a soft persimmon like dough.

She was disappointed that this child was too selfish.

The whole family had never treated her badly, and she was even spoiled since she was a child.

But she chose to only care about herself. She didn't care about the life and death of the whole family.

Similarly, Wenren Qiuchan was not her biological daughter, but in comparison, Su Yueyan was like an ungrateful wolf.

In addition, every time she thought of the disgusting thing that her biological mother Song Rouer did, she felt very uncomfortable.

Finally, the old lady also participated in the king bomb, which made her completely abandon this daughter in anger.

But she never thought that Su Yueyan would dare to do such a cruel thing to harm Su Yuexi!

Su Houye was so angry that he smashed the tea bowl directly, his chest heaving, and his nostrils flaring.

He yelled, "Come here, go to the second room and bring Su Yueyan, the rebellious girl, to me!"

Madam Gui in Wutong Courtyard immediately took orders and led people to the second room.

But she came up empty-handed.

It turned out that after Su Yueyan asked Bilian to go out and find her brother to deal with Su Yuexi in the morning, she felt uneasy.

In the afternoon, she became more and more uneasy, so she thought of a good idea.

She knew that if Su Yuexi disappeared, Lord Su and his wife might suspect her when they investigated.

So she had to find a talisman for herself.

The first person she thought of was the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion, Mrs. Wu.

The old lady always loved Su Yueyan more.

When Su Yueyan was young, she wondered why her grandmother was picky about her mother Mu Wanqing.

But she was very good to her daughter, that is, her granddaughter.

At that time, she didn't know that she was actually the daughter of Aunt Rou.

Now that she knew that she was the daughter of Concubine Rou and her second uncle, she finally understood why the old lady was so kind to her.

The old lady must have known about this matter.

Everyone in the mansion knew that the old lady was biased.

She was so kind to the second uncle of the second house that there was nothing to say.

Even though she was no longer recognized as a legitimate daughter by the first house.

But she was also of the blood of the Marquisate, and was born to the youngest son that the old lady loved the most.

She was sure that the old lady still loved her as much as before.

So Su Yueyan made up her mind to go to Rongxuan Hall to find the old lady.

Su Yueyan was worried about being sent back to the second house recently, and didn't pay attention to the old lady's affairs.

Besides, the servants in Wutong Courtyard kept their mouths shut, and all the old lady's subordinates were tied up and taken away by Marquis Su.

So she didn't know that the old lady had been under house arrest.

When she came to Rongxuan Hall with two big maids, she was stopped by the gatekeeper.

How could this be possible? If she didn't see the old lady, who would be her amulet?

She winked at Bichi.

Bichi pretended to sprain her ankle and fell on the old woman.

Su Yueyan took the opportunity to rush into Rongxuan Hall with Bilian.

Who knew that after entering Rongxuan Hall, she realized something was wrong.

Rongxuan Hall, which was crowded with maids and servants in the past, became quiet.

The door of the old lady's room was closed, and a woman was sitting outside the door guarding the door.

Su Yueyan thought it looked bad and wanted to retreat.

But it was too late.

"Hey, why is the second lady here?" The old woman was from Wutong Courtyard, so she naturally knew the former second lady.

Su Yueyan smiled awkwardly, "Madame Wang, what's going on? Why are there no other servants in Rongxuan Hall?"

"The servants in Rongxuan Hall didn't serve well, and the old lady was sick, so the Marquis had them all tied up." said Madame Wang.

Su Yueyan didn't believe it.

But she couldn't figure out why Marquis Su would do this.

Anyway, there was something fishy in Rongxuan Hall, and she could see it.

So she planned to leave here quickly.

But why would Wang Po let her leave?

"Second Miss is going back?"

"Since you're here, wouldn't it be bad if you don't go in and sit for a while?" Wang Po said.

[

Chapter 58 House Arrest

Su Yueyan felt a strange feeling in her heart.

She wanted to say no.

But Nanny Wang didn't give her a chance, but forcefully invited her into the room.

She closed the door and put her under house arrest.

Wang Po was one of the Wu Po who came with Mu Wanqing as a dowry.

After she put Su Yueyan under house arrest, she called a little maid and asked her to report the matter to the Marquis and the Marquis' wife.

The little maid took the order and left.

The reason why Nanny Wang didn't let Su Yueyan leave was because she was afraid that she would find out something was wrong in Rong Xuantang, and it would be bad if she revealed it.

If the matter of imprisoning the old lady was spread, the whole mansion would be in trouble.

This would make people scold her.

The Marquis's Mansion cannot be tarnished by this matter, and it cannot affect the reputation of her master, Mu Wanqing.

So Nanny Wang had to lock up Su Yueyan first and see what the Marquis's wife would say.

However, when the little maid went to Wutong Courtyard, the Marquis and the Marquis's wife were worried about Su Yuexi's matter.

The little maid had no chance to speak. She was anxious.

Nanny Gui searched the second room in vain and did not find Su Yueyan.

So she came back to reply.

The little maid who knew the situation had a chance to speak at this time.

"Madam, the second young lady went to Rongxuan Hall in the afternoon," she did not dare to say house arrest, so she said: "She saw the old lady recuperating, so she stayed in Rongxuan Hall."

When she said this, how could the Marquis's wife and Marquis Su not know that the other party had seen them imprisoning the old lady.

Nanny Wang was afraid that something might go wrong, so she also put Su Yueyan under house arrest.

Lord Su and his wife went straight to Rongxuan Hall.

In Rongxuan Hall, Su Yueyan was under house arrest, and her two maids did not run away either, and were locked up in Rongxuan Hall together.

But they were not in the same room with the old lady.

Su Yueyan felt uneasy, she always felt that something was out of her control.

It was as if everyone knew something, but she was the only one who was kept in the dark.

What on earth was it that others knew but she didn't?

This feeling was inexplicable.

When Lord Su and his wife stepped into the room, Su Yueyan felt panic in her heart.

Seeing the other party's cold expression, she had a bad premonition.

"Dad, Mom." Su Yueyan forced a smile.

Lord Su did not respond.

Mu Wanqing stepped forward and slapped her hard.

This slap threw Su Yueyan to the ground.

She immediately covered her painful and swollen cheek and looked at Mu Wanqing with tears in her eyes.

A flash of hatred flashed across her eyes.

"You rebellious girl!" Mu Wanqing said with trembling fingers.

"You actually, you actually bribed the gangsters to kidnap your sister! How many vicious thoughts do you have that I don't know!"

Mu Wanqing was furious.

"Where did I, Mu Wanqing, let you down?"

"From childhood to adulthood, I have always loved and protected you, and never let you suffer any grievances!"

"I raised you with gold and jade, gave you fine clothes and food, and let you have a group of servants!"

"But you, how did you repay me?!"

"I never taught you to be sweet on the outside but bitter on the inside! I never taught you to be jealous and frame others, and I never taught you to have a vicious heart!"

"You always pretend to be the kindest and most innocent on the outside, but you are mean in private You are so ungrateful!"

"I have wondered if there is something wrong with my education of you!"

"But Chan'er is not my biological daughter either, but she looks so outstanding."

"So I know it's not my fault, you are bad to the core! You are as vicious as your mother!"

"I raised you so big, I don't expect you to repay me! But how can you repay kindness with hatred? !"

"It was your own mother who replaced you with me, and made me raise you for so many years in vain. She also tortured my daughter for more than ten years, I have never blamed you!"

"I sent you back to the second house and allowed you to take away all the property you have accumulated over the years."

"With the love your second uncle and the old lady have for you, as long as you don't do anything unkind, you can spend the rest of your life in the second house. When you get married, I will choose a good husband for you, and you can rest assured in your life!"

"But you are still not satisfied! Why do you have to do it! You just can't tolerate Xi'er!"

"Have you ever thought that she is my biological daughter, and you have occupied her identity for so many years, and you have enjoyed her original "Everything she should have!" "You are ashamed, but you can frame her three times!" Encounter? "" What about your conscience? Chapter 59 Don't want to say what Bilian said, it is all false, but it is all false friendship! She was just a baby at that time. Madam Rou wanted to change the baby herself. What does it have to do with her?

Even if Su Yuexi suffered for more than ten years because of this, it was her bad luck!

Blame the Marquis' wife for not protecting her child.

What does it have to do with her? !

She is innocent!

She was stuffed into the big room when she was born. It was Mu Wanqing who was willing to pamper her.

Even if she was not Mu Wanqing's biological child, she was also a legitimate Marquis' blood.

Su Yuexi was just a wild child who grew up in the countryside, a mud-legged person who could not be on the stage.

She was black, ugly and short, and she was the face of the Marquis' mansion.

Which lady would not praise herself at the banquet?

Who in the capital didn't know that Su Yueyan was one of the most virtuous daughters in the Marquis' mansion?

Su Yueyan only felt hatred in her heart.

The Marquis' wife kept saying that she loved her the most, wasn't it because she thought she was her biological child?

Now that he knows she is not his biological daughter, his expression changes faster than turning the pages of a book!

What doting on her? It's not sincere at all, it's just because of that layer of blood relationship!

She can abandon the daughter she has raised for more than ten years. If so, what qualifications does she have to say that she is vicious to you?

Her chest rose and fell, she suppressed her anger in her heart with hatred, and said stubbornly:

"Mother, what are you talking about? Yan'er doesn't understand. When did Yan'er let the hooligans outside to harm Sister Xi'er?"

"Don't call me mother, your mother is Song Rou'er! I don't have a daughter as vicious as you!" Mu Wanqing said coldly.

"Come here, take the two maids away for interrogation." Lord Su ordered.

The two maids, Bilian and Bichi, who were huddled in the corner, were so scared that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

They knew that no one who was taken away for interrogation by Lord Su could come out intact.

"No, Lord!"

"Second Miss, save us!"

"Lord, Madam, I know, I know! It was Bilian who did it! I am innocent." In desperation, Bichi had to stab Bilian in the back.

When the second lady handed the banknote to Bilian, she also saw it.

At that time, she envied Bilian for having a capable brother from her mother's family.

Now she is not envious at all.

It is good to be able to save her life.

When Bilian heard what Bichi said, she was so scared that she collapsed on the ground.

"Second Miss, please explain to the Marquis and the Madam! You asked me to do this!"

"Second Miss, save me!"

Su Yueyan pretended to be surprised and said, "Bilian, you actually did this behind my back!"

"I've told you, don't think I'm being ignored just because Sister Xi'er is favored. I don't need you to help me out."

"Second Miss! Don't you want Bilian anymore?!" Seeing Su Yueyan say this, Bilian knew that she was going to abandon her, so she asked desperately.

"Puff--" Nanny Wang, who was standing behind her, couldn't help laughing out loud.

If Su Yuexi heard this here, she would definitely burst out laughing.

And Marquis Su and Mu Wanqing were born into a wealthy family, and rarely heard such dirty words.

After a slight pause, they realized what Nanny Wang was laughing at.

Ah, this... I didn't think there was any ambiguity in the name Bilian before.

However, it is indeed a bit embarrassing to put it in this sentence...

But Lord Su is Lord Su after all, he still said with a cold face: "Take her away, send her to reunite with her family in the underworld."

"Yes." Nanny Wang immediately stopped smiling and responded seriously.

What? Family in the underworld, reunion...

Bilian's face turned pale as paper in an instant. Her family was actually...

She couldn't imagine that she was just working for her own girl, thinking that once the girl could be favored and return to the big room, she would also be able to rise with the tide.

But she forgot the risks of her actions, only thought of the benefits, and didn't expect the consequences that might be encountered.

Bilian lost her life all of a sudden, and the whole person seemed to have lost her soul.

Let Nanny Wang drag her away.

And Bichi's clothes were soaked with cold sweat. She knelt on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

Fortunately, the second girl liked Bilian the most in the past, and took her with her instead of herself.

As for Su Yueyan, Lord Su did not give a direct order.

He still took Mu Wanqing into consideration.

He knew that Su Yueyan was the daughter that Mu Wanqing had raised for more than ten years and loved sincerely.

People are not plants, who can be heartless.

More than ten years of feelings cannot be cut off just like that.

He wanted to see what Mu Wanqing would do. However, he would not be soft-hearted this time.

However, Lord Su underestimated Mu Wanqing's determination.

Mu Wanqing saw that Su Yueyan refused to admit it and was still pretending to be stupid.

She shook her head with great disappointment.

It didn't matter whether Su Yueyan admitted it or not.

She said coldly: "Just reflect on yourself here."

"Madam Gui!"

"The old slave is here!" Madam Gui behind Mu Wanqing bowed and said.

"Watch her, don't let her go anywhere." Mu Wanqing said.

Chapter 60 The Truth

The Marquis and his wife came out of Rongxuan Hall and returned to Wutong Courtyard.

At this time, a woman came outside to report that the guard had something to ask Marquis Su.

Thinking that it might be about Su Yuexi, the two hurriedly asked the guard to come in and answer.

The guard came in with an envelope in his hand and saluted the Marquis and his wife.

"My Lord, Madam, I was patrolling outside and found a little beggar staring at the door of the Marquis's mansion furtively."

"I went up to ask and got the letter from the little beggar. He said that the Marquis had to open it in person."

"Oh? What else did the little beggar say?" Marquis Su asked.

"My Lord, the little beggar said that someone asked him to deliver the letter to the Marquis's mansion tomorrow morning, and someone would give him ten taels of silver. He was afraid of delaying things, so he came to the door of the Marquis's mansion early to wait."

Marquis Su took the envelope.

The letter was sealed with bright red wax.

It had never been opened.

He opened the envelope.

The characters in the letter were crooked, of different sizes, not very beautiful, and missing some parts, but it was magical enough to make people understand what he wrote.

Some words were replaced with homophonic characters.

After reading two or three pages, he understood everything.

But Lord Su was also furious, and his hand holding the letter was shaking.

Seeing this, Mu Wanqing couldn't help but get curious.

What was the situation that made Lord Su like this?

She took the letter and read it carefully.

Then, she couldn't help but tremble.

Compared to Lord Su's anger, she had a frosty face.

No matter how hard they tried, they could never imagine that the enemy they had been thinking about, the one who had caused their family to be destroyed and everyone to die tragically, was actually right next to them!

They had always wanted to know who was the person who would kill Su Yuexi on the road to exile?

Who was the one who would cause the tragic death of Marquis Mu Wanqing?

Who was the one who took advantage of their eldest daughter and then killed her?

Who was the one who disfigured their second son and poisoned him to mute?

Unexpectedly, this person was so far away and so close at hand.

It turned out that this person was the ungrateful wolf they had raised with their own hands - Su Yueyan!

The couple didn't know how to describe their feelings.

Although these things had not happened yet, the couple were not reborn and had not truly experienced these things.

But even thinking about it would make them feel extremely angry.

They had already guessed who wrote the letter.

Su Yuexi must have wanted the little beggar to deliver the letter to the Marquis' Mansion when she left to pray tomorrow morning.

However, man proposes, God disposes. Su Yueyan hired someone to kidnap her.

And the little beggar was afraid of missing the time and waited outside the Marquis' Mansion in advance, causing the letter to reach the hands of Marquis Su and his wife in advance.

According to what Su Yuexi wrote.

Marquis Su would be accused of colluding with the third prince of the rebel party in the morning court.

In order to show his tolerance, the new emperor only ordered people to confiscate the Marquis' Mansion and exile him.

And he abolished Marquis Su's martial arts and pierced his scapula.

The Marquis' Mansion was suddenly raided and there was no preparation at all.

But the new emperor only pardoned Marquis Su on the surface.

He sent people to secretly persuade the second master of the Marquis' Mansion, Su Yunxie, to poison him.

As a result, Marquis Su was poisoned by his second brother Su Yunxie without any preparation, and Marquis Su was captured without bloodshed.

There was an internal struggle in the Marquis' Mansion, and Mu Wanqing killed Su Yunxie herself, and the old lady was pissed to death.

Afterwards, the hidden forces in the Marquis' Mansion were leaderless and were wiped out one after another by the new emperor's people.

Then Su Yueyan first killed the unpopular Su Yuexi on the way to exile.

Later, they encountered a large number of refugees and rebels.

Su Yueyan caused trouble and caused a riot. In order to protect her, Mu Wanqing took the initiative to lead the enemy away and was tortured to death.

Su Yueyan encountered the army of King Ning.

She was taken into the backyard of King Ning as the legitimate daughter of Su Wu Marquis' Mansion.

And helped King Ning gather some old members of the Marquis' Mansion.

Later, she met Su Yuexuan who was separated in the riot, but unexpectedly Su Yuexuan questioned the cause of death of Marquis' wife Mu Wanqing.

Su Yueyan was guilty and wanted to help King Ning gain the hidden forces of the Marquis' Mansion.

She took advantage of Su Yuexuan's trust and drugged him.

So Su Yuexuan, who was obviously a martial arts master, was locked up in a dungeon by King Ning.

He was tortured severely, with no good flesh on his body, his face was completely destroyed, he was tortured, and his fingers were all broken.

He was completely useless and became a useless person.

But even so, King Ning did not get more useful information.

Su Yuexuan escaped during a fire caused by a rebel riot. His throat, which had been poisoned by poison, was choked by the thick smoke, and his speech became hoarse and difficult to understand.

After that, Su Yueyan met Wenren Qiuchan, who had become the leader of the rebels.

Although Wenren Qiuchan was rough and generous, she was very talented in leading troops to fight.

King Ning wanted to use her talent.

Su Yueyan was jealous and angry, but she had to help King Ning so that she could get his favor.

So when she lied to Wenren Qiuchan that it was a riot, Wenren Qiuchan was dispersed by the rioters.

Mu Wanqing was killed by the rebel army while searching for Wenren Qiuchan.

This caused Wenren Qiuchan to feel heartbroken and guilty, so she gave all her guilt to Su Yueyan and faced the rebel army with anger.
