They continued walking forward and stopped when they reached the room pointed by the villager.

This room is larger than the other rooms, but the environment is worse. You can even smell some vague smell of blood from outside.

The windows of the room were nailed shut with wooden boards, leaving no gaps, and the wooden door was covered with dried blood stains and scratches. It was unknown what kind of inhuman torture the people inside had suffered.

Ye Qingran's heart was already clenching, hoping that Ms. Jiang was inside, but worried that Ms. Jiang had been tortured to a terrible state by them.

Fortunately, after the village chief opened the door, they saw the situation inside.

The inside was relatively clean so far, and there was no bloody situation as expected. The person sitting inside was clearly Jiang.

She sat on the wooden chair and looked coldly at the village chief who walked in: "I advise you to let me go as soon as possible, otherwise..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw Ye Qingran and Chu Qingyun coming in with the village chief, and she swallowed all the words she said.

When Ye Qingran saw her, he became excited, but he still suppressed his emotions and remained silent.

At least Ms. Jiang has been found now, and it seems that she has not been treated badly. Perhaps she was brought in not long ago and they haven't had time to do anything.

The village chief was always paying attention to their movements, and he saw the attitudes of the three of them. His eyes suddenly narrowed. Although he didn't say anything, he already had doubts in his heart.

Ye Qingran also understood that his attitude was a bit unreasonable. After taking a long breath, he said with a smile: "This is good. Her skin is really good. If she is whipped with a whip, the skin will be bruised. Use the best medicine then." It’s exciting to think about continuing to fight after you’ve recovered.”

Looking at her expression, Mrs. Jiang immediately understood the current situation and cursed directly: "You damn people, you really don't deserve to die!"

"She's still a hot-tempered person. I like her. I saved her. Please give her a price!" Chu Qingyun nodded.

The village chief's eyes moved back and forth between them, then he stretched out two fingers and said, "Two hundred thousand taels."

"What?! Two hundred thousand taels?!"

Ye Qingran raised his eyebrows, not expecting the other party to offer such a high price.

Originally, their plan was to find the Jiang family first. If the other party's price was not too outrageous, they could just spend money to eliminate the disaster, but the two hundred thousand taels was really not a small amount.

Although they don't know much about these slave trades, they still know a little bit about buying people from Renyazi. Under normal circumstances, it only costs five taels of silver to buy a smart girl and boy. This two hundred thousand is just a small amount in comparison. Sky-high price.

The two looked at each other and felt that the price was too outrageous, so they said nothing.

The village chief ignored their expressions and nodded: "Yes, two hundred thousand taels, not a penny less."

Chu Qingyun was the first to react: "I've asked about the price here, but it doesn't exceed 200,000 taels. Aren't you lying to us?"

He just said that, but it seemed to be true.

The village chief had never offered such a high price to other people before. He only dared to ask after seeing that they were sure they wanted to buy this woman. He spread his hands and said, "It didn't happen before, but now it does. It's not a lie. After all, things are rare." It’s expensive, there are very few such products, you’re lucky if you come across one, so it will naturally be more expensive.”

After saying that, he mocked the two of them, "Why, can't you two nobles afford this money? Aren't you from the capital?"

His words were probing, and Ye Qingran did not dare to let down his guard, so he said: "I can definitely afford it, but I don't think your product is worth the price no matter how suitable it is. Do we have to be beaten by you because we have so much money?" Open your mouth?"

But even if she said this, the village chief still saw their purpose clearly and insisted: "If you think it's not worth it, just don't buy it. We are not short of this business here, so we won't give it away if we go slowly."

"You!" Chu Qingyun clenched his fists.

Ye Qingran could see what the village chief was thinking. Although he was a little reluctant, Jiang was close at hand. If he didn't take her away now, she might not be well off.

So she had no choice but to grit her teeth, use her sleeves to cover her, and take out a stack of banknotes from the space.

"Forget it, we don't lack this little money. It's rare to find such a suitable product, and I don't want to let it go so easily."

She handed the banknote to the village chief, "Here, two hundred thousand taels, you count it yourself, and I will take it away."

Mrs. Jiang felt uncomfortable when she saw her offering 200,000 taels to redeem herself, but she also knew the consequences of staying here, so she never said anything.

Unexpectedly, even after taking out two hundred thousand taels, the village chief had no intention of letting him go. Instead, he laughed evilly, took out a porcelain bottle from his waist, opened the lid and threw it into Ye Qingran's hand.

His speed was so fast that Ye Qingran, who was holding a banknote in his hand, had no time to dodge.

A few drops of the potion stained her hand, and she suddenly felt severe pain. She could no longer hold the banknotes in her hand, and they all fell to the ground.

"hiss……"

When Chu Qingyun saw this, he immediately pulled her behind him to protect her, and then said angrily to the village chief: "What do you mean?"

"What do I mean? I want to ask who you are!"

He changed his smile, his eyes were very alert, and he had already regarded them as enemies.

Seeing that Ye Qingran was injured, Mrs. Jiang couldn't sit still and immediately came to check. The left and right sides were now exposed, and there was no point in pretending anymore.

"Ran'er, how are you?"

Ye Qingran hid his injured hand, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

"I knew you were in the same group, huh, and you still wanted to lie to me."

The village chief snorted coldly and shouted, "Come here, someone has sneaked in and wants to harm us. Brothers, beat them to death on the spot!"

Soon, all the villagers outside gathered around. Chu Qingyun, Ye Qingran and Jiang immediately retreated out of the room to prevent them from blocking the door.

He insisted: "We did come from the capital, and we have money. Is there any problem?"

At this time, the village chief had already picked up the banknotes that Ye Qingran had scattered. After looking at them carefully, he said, "You do have some money, but you may not be able to compare with those dignitaries."

He sneered, "Your acting skills are really poor. Not to mention that most people won't show up in person. Even the clothes you are wearing may not be too shabby."

His tone was disdainful and sarcastic, and he didn't take them seriously at all.

Although the Jiang family had been found at this time, they were also surrounded by them, making it difficult to evacuate.

Since there was no room for quibbles, Chu Qingyun said no more and retreated directly with the two of them.
