The three of them followed for a day and reached a pass the next day.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Qi Ji frowning, Chi Si hurriedly asked, "What is this place?"

"This is the state boundary. We will leave Bingzhou soon, and Liangzhou will be beyond the pass."

Liangzhou?Chi Si felt that this place name seemed to have been heard somewhere.

Qi Ji's elegant smile was slightly joking: "Have you heard of the Thunder Mountain Villa?"

"I've heard it, and I've been there." Chi Si smiled with a bit of laziness, "I went with you last year, the place where we made love. After returning, we became a family."

Qi Ji was taken aback.Then he gently rolled his eyes.

The carriage transporting the abducted girl passed through the pass smoothly.The coachman didn't hang up the swaggering banners, but tied the banners in a conspicuous place on the front.

The guard soldiers didn't check inside at all, and let it go easily after just a glance.

"Even the guards at the state border can be bribed." Qi Ji frowned slightly, revealing a bit of his hidden edge, like a steep and isolated peak in the misty fairy mist, majestic and majestic with poetic and picturesque charm, but also has the danger of breaking people's bones .

"Where is the sacredness of Chi Yanmen?"

"Although after Lei Lixing's death, the status of the Thunder Mountain Villa in Jianghu is getting worse day by day, but Lei Wanjun is still there. The counties farther away are better. If it is near Liangzhou City, the Thunder Mountain Villa is still a local snake, and I don't accept it at all. The imperial court controls."

Although Yang Huiyu still had an air of indifference and innocence, his contemptuous attitude was obviously less. "If they are also involved, it will be difficult to investigate the affairs of Liangzhou."

Qi Jimo sighed: "Let's go down and have a look. But if it's really on the territory of the Thunder Mountain Villa, you can find a Jianghu person to go directly to Lei Wanjun."

He lowered his eyebrows and pondered, as if he was thinking of a suitable candidate.

Yang Huiyu proposed the names of several heroes of the rivers and lakes, but none of them seemed very suitable.

In the fighting at the martial arts conference last year, not many of the original martial arts masters were killed or injured.This is all a secret trick of Yinyi Pavilion.

They directly put the undercurrents of temples and rivers and lakes on the table, and now the two sides are at odds.

The two discussed for a long time.

Chi Si looked at this and then at that, turning a blind eye to him, as if he didn't exist.

Isn't he the young master of Thunder Villa? !

Although many things happened later, this suspicion, no, the misunderstanding has not been cleared up, right?

But if it really has something to do with Thunder Mountain Villa, what will he do?

Going to be someone's grandson again?

The three followed the crowd through the pass and continued to follow the carriage.

At a fork in the road, the carriage turned and did not continue northward.

Chi Si breathed a sigh of relief.Fortunately, there is no need to go to Thunder Mountain Villa.

It took another half a day.The official road became narrower and narrower, and the population became more and more desolate.

"Do you know where they are going?" Seeing that Qi Ji seemed to know it by heart, he asked Chi Si.

Qi Ji hummed: "If I'm not mistaken, they are going to Daxing Village."

Why is this name so familiar?

"Wen Xian and Liu Yanyan, do you still remember?" Seeing each other's dazed look, Qi Ji smiled and shook his head.

"The aunt who came to hold your hand whenever you got excited?"

Think back later.

When he first saw him, he felt sullen and panicked, and often dragged Qi Ji away by the collar.

Qi Ji sighed again, with an elegant smile full of helplessness.

Then he looked at Daxing Village, his smile faded, and his brows were slightly frowned: "Daxing Village has more men than women, and there has always been a vulgar custom of buying wives from other places. But those poor girls were sold by their own families and received gifts. If you hold a banquet, you will be considered as a married couple, and it is not considered a transaction that violates the law, not to mention that the government does not want to take care of it, even if you want to do it, you can't do it."

Although the law of Dayan prohibits the slight sale of human beings, it is not illegal for parents to sell their sons and daughters.

It is not uncommon for poor families to have too many children to support, and it is not uncommon to sell a few for money.

It is not uncommon for people to sell their bodies to bury their fathers on the street.

"But if they are so rampant that they buy and sell people who come here at will, the government can find a reason to punish them." Qi Ji raised his perfectly smooth jaw, "Come on, let's go and have a look."

The three continued to follow the carriage and arrived at the entrance of Daxing Village.

The village is in a mountain nest, dozens of miles away from the nearest county seat.

It is early spring now, and many farmers in the fields are busy with spring plowing, but the poor mountains and rivers and the people here are tough, and there is a desolate and desolate scene everywhere, as if even the sky is lower than other places, there is something inexplicable of depression.

"If there are no horses in this place, it will be difficult for a few weak women to escape secretly." Chi Si thought of Wen Xian, and at the same time thought of how she killed the villagers and rescued Liu Yanyan.

Liu Yanyan was sold to this place by her own father, and reluctantly became someone's daughter-in-law, and was abused by her husband and mother-in-law.

In order to survive, she killed her husband and mother-in-law, and tried to escape from the village, but was arrested by the villagers not long after she ran out of the village entrance, and planned to force her to marry another family.

Fortunately, I met Wen Xian who happened to pass by the entrance of the village on the wrong road.

In order to save people, Wen Xian killed several villagers who besieged her, and was wanted by the government.

"What happened to the arrest warrant on that aunt? The government wants to arrest her?"

"Withdraw." Qi Ji glanced at Yang Huiyu mockingly, "It's a matter of Master Yang's words."

Yang Huiyu was indifferent, as if there was no one in his eyes, and said lightly: "I am also entrusted by others."

The coachman drove his horse through the last section of the road that could be used by traffic, and stopped at a narrow paddy field. There were a few villagers standing in front of him, who should have been waiting here to pick up people.

A group of people brutally dragged the girls into the village.

The village head handed over the money to the coachman, and the two left separately.

All their actions are fast and fluent, and they have long been familiar with buying and selling women.

Qi Ji was hiding on the dense branches of an old tree, his indifferent expression could not conceal the slight frown of his sword eyebrows.

The village head and the coachman trade directly, there are no other sellers or matchmakers.

They followed all the way, and it was a waste of time.

"This is called direct buying and direct selling, there is no middleman to make the difference." Chi Si teased and tried to make him happy, but the effect was minimal.

Qi Ji smiled helplessly: "People from Chiyanmen should have negotiated this business in other places long ago, and today it's just delivery. Let's go."

Chi Si thought they would go back home directly, but unexpectedly turned to another road at the fork.

"Where are we going?" he asked curiously.

"The county seat. Daxing Village is under the administration of the Hanyang County Government."

After running around for another half a day, the three entered the county seat before the city gate was closed.

The sky is dark, the lights of Wanjia are on, and the stars are dotted with subtle warmth.The tired birds return to their nests, the crows and magpies fly south, and the pedestrians on the street are desolate.

Qi Ji passed by the inn without stopping, drove his horse past the square flag of the inn fluttering in the wind, and came straight to the gate of the county government office.

Of course, he was stopped by the yamen servant on duty at the door.
