Chapter 108: Human Trafficking
Chapter 108: Human Trafficking
……
The weather is fine.
The breeze is not dry.
The carriage had a smooth journey.
The Second Prince, the direct superior of the Imperial Guard, personally led us into the city. There was no need to queue and the process was very smooth.
They just gave it a symbolic check and then let it go.
Li Jiaojiao once again experienced the power of being bullied by someone superior.
It works really well.
feels good.
I now understand a little bit why people are trying so hard to climb up.
The competition at high places is fierce, and life is relatively more convenient.
Not far from the entrance of the capital is a row of restaurants.
It was lunch time and it was quite lively.
Looking through the open lobby, you can see that the seats are almost full.
The windows of the private rooms upstairs were also half-open, and shadowy figures were visible.
The disaster outside cannot reach the inside of the high walls.
There are two worlds inside and outside the city.
The streets inside the capital are still filled with people dressed in red and green, and the street shops are still bustling.
January has passed, the exam results will be announced soon, and the streets will be full of people.
I heard that spring poetry appreciation gatherings have been held several times, and some people have fallen in love and got married.
A prosperous era.
That's all.
Li Jiaojiao refused Qi Yunyu's invitation to lunch and fled back to Lu's Mansion.
The price was an extra carriage.
Qi Yuyi was very content. She was reluctant to send the fairy sister back home. Although they did not recognize each other as sisters, she at least booked a carriage.
We have the first one, so are the second and third ones far away?
Lu Mansion.
The mansion was a bit deserted as both masters were not at home.
The return of the mistress was like throwing a stone into a quiet lake, and everyone became busy.
The kitchen asked the girl what she wanted to eat today and whether she wanted Zuixianlou to deliver the food.
The master has not been at home recently, so there are not many fresh ingredients in the house.
The girl said it was fine, as she had lost her appetite after traveling for most of the day.
Use the ingredients available in the kitchen to make some hand-rolled noodles and stir-fry some green vegetables.
The girl returned to her room.
No matter how comfortable the carriage is, it is not as comfortable as a big bed. I miss her big bed.
The advantage of having a wealthy family is that no matter how long you are away from home, there will always be someone to clean the house so you can move in directly when you come back.
The door to the courtyard was open, and there seemed to be more plants in the courtyard, the scenery was more exquisite, and the soil in the middle should have been dug.
Go forward.
Pushing open the door, Li Jiaojiao returned to her boudoir in the Lu Mansion.
The room is huge.
The windows are big and bright. She doesn't like the house to be dark. If the lighting is not good, she will feel uncomfortable breathing even if she lights all the candles.
At this time, the sunlight shines through the window, and beautiful silhouettes fall on the unfamiliar home furnishings, which is very dreamy.
Li Jiaojiao just paused briefly at the door and then walked in.
The room was rationally divided into several suites, separated by intricately carved pillars on both sides and curtains that hung to the floor, so you could still see the end at a glance.
The living room is at the entrance, the bedroom is on the left, and the leisure area is on the right.
The doors and windows of the leisure area near the outer courtyard can be opened separately. When you sit on the large sunken sofa next to the tea table, you can see the pool view outside.
There are rockeries, flowing water, water lilies, and koi...
Of course there are desks, bookshelves, and antique shelves...
left.
The bedroom floor was covered with thick carpet in her favorite fresh color.
The previous heavy bed that was like a cage was replaced with a moon-shaped hollow carved canopy bed, and the gauze curtains around it were also thin and translucent gauze.
Next to the bedroom is a small door. When you open the door, there is an independent bathroom.
There are slippers at the entrance and bathrobes on the shelf.
There is a washbasin carved from raw stone. Above the washbasin there is a protruding wooden plug. When you pull it out, there will be gurgling water.
There is a shower (holes are drilled in the stone and plugged with wooden plugs), a bathtub, smooth and beautiful pebbles (for drainage), and crystal clear flower soap...
It is a good time to be touched, because this man really cares about you.
But Li Jiaojiao wanted to ask, Lu Liang, are you the one who traveled through time or am I the one who traveled through time?
Were you a handicraft blogger in your previous life?
The girl had a simple lunch and took a nice nap in the boudoir where ancient and modern cultures collided.
Until now, she is grateful to God for allowing her to travel through time and space, and she thanks him in her dreams.
Sunset West Mountain.
The weather is neither too hot nor too cold.
The streets became lively again.
Originally, the housekeeper of the mansion could contact the traffickers and bring the people the girl needed to the mansion, and the girl could sit in the yard and drink tea and slowly choose.
But the girl wanted to go out for a walk.
After living in the village for a long time, I feel like a countryman coming to the city.
I want to go out for a walk and join in the fun.
It would be great if there was someone selling milk tea and ice cream on the street, so she could treat the four girls to milk tea.
Xishi, a human trafficking market.
It covers a large area, and the human trafficking of the entire capital city normally passes through here. The dealers here all make a lot of money.
You can tell from the body shape that there is oil.
Inside the market.
There was not a row of cages as imagined, but instead there were imprisoned a pretty woman with a pitiful look and a fierce look in her eyes. She was tortured beyond recognition, but her eyes were still clear.
Then she was spotted by a rich young man, and a legendary love story began.
The market is huge, and the goods are well organized, after all, we depend on them to make money.
Renyazi is very enthusiastic, but she also knows the rules. She will only introduce you to someone when you pass by her shop.
"What kind does the girl want? I have them all here. Can I ask everyone to come out and help her choose?"
"Girl, take a look at my family. They are well-trained and well-behaved. You can use them with confidence. There is no problem with the credit report."
"Girl...blah blah..."
Li Jiaojiao stopped.
After visiting a few stores, I didn't want to continue looking.
Means nothing.
There must be too many people here, and the weather is getting hotter. There is no condition to take a shower every day, and everyone has to squeeze together, so the air is not very good.
Li Jiaojiao picked the largest store and asked someone to call the people inside out.
She used her supernatural powers to cheat and combined it with her half-baked knowledge of physiognomy to carefully select people.
First, two women were picked. The older ones were more likely to be bad, usually very bad, so they were picked first.
The old women used to serve as servants, but the original mansion fell into decline and they were laid off.
In the capital, it is normal for a family to rise and fall.
I asked two old women if they had any family members with them, and one of them said she had a son who was also in the team.
Li Jiaojiao took a look and thought he was okay. He was dark and strong, and looked energetic. He could run errands with Lu Xiao.
Then he picked a younger brother and sister who were very honest and loyal, with round faces and round eyes.
He doesn't have a remarkable appearance and can't be found in a crowd.
The brother followed Lu Lin and the sister followed Lu Lan.
Su Yue paid the money and took a few people to go through the transfer procedures. Half of the mission to Beijing was completed.
evening.
Qi Yunyu's villa.
Li Jiaojiao went to the banquet. This time, the maid was not stopped at the end of the flower path, but followed her to the edge of the pavilion.
Waterside pavilion.
Delicious food.
I don’t know whether it was the ancients who enjoyed it, or the upper class people in any dynasty who enjoyed it.
Li Jiaojiao had never experienced this in her previous life, so she didn’t know.
This life can be considered an eye-opener.
Li Jiaojiao arrived neither early nor late. She brought some tea from the teahouse, actually she took out some small green tangerines from the space.
