"The young lady is beautiful and intelligent, she has the face of a closed moon and shameful flowers, can you let me have a look?"

Anya looked at the man, he looked like a charlatan, but he saw that there was a lot of meat, and stretched out his hand, revealing the gold dragon beard bracelet on his wrist, "Look, if you dare to lie to me, I will call you in Chang'an Can't wait."

The Taoist smiled, felt for her pulse, looked at her palm vaguely, took advantage of Anya's boredom and yawned, picked her up, hugged her and left.

Anya's feet were suspended in the air, and after panic, she shouted on the street: "Help!"

The Taoist priest covered her mouth and could only make a sound of "嘿嘿嘿嘿". He wrapped her in a fur wrap, and smiled apologetically at the passer-by: "My little girl is naughty, I disturbed you."

Passers-by turned back with confidence.

The Taoist wiped Anya's nose with his hand that was soaked in the powder, and Anya fell asleep from sleepiness.

After waking up, she was in a room full of girls, and just about to move, she found that her hands and feet were tied.Anya panicked, "What's going on?"

The little girl next to her said angrily, "You have been abducted, you really have no brains."

Anya had never been wronged as long as she could remember, so she gave her a vicious look: "Who are you saying has no brains?"

The girl had never seen such a fierce gaze, and her eyes instantly turned red, "You are still so fierce after all this time, you will look good to me soon."

Anya calmed down a little, "Where is this? Who are you?"

"My name is Min Lan. My family can't afford the one who was sold by my family. Seeing how well you dress... your family won't sell you, will they?"

Min Lan asked suspiciously.

Anya yelled: "I'm not being sold. The Taoist dog caught me on the street and ran away. When I woke up, I saw you."

Min Lan was stunned for a moment, showing pity on her face: "Well, sister, you will have a new place to go after you get here, so don't think about the past anymore."

Anya didn't listen to what she said at all, twisting around, unable to break free from the rope, she had to give up.

After a while, a person slammed the door open vigorously, and the bright light entered the room. Li Si swept around the girls in the room, and said to the mud legs behind: "Give them flatter clothes."

More than 30 girls changed into decent clothes, including Anya. The original clothes could not be seen by others. They joined the boys brought out from the other side, and Li Si led the children out of the capital.

The palace was in chaos because of Anya's disappearance. The princess ignored her manners and searched for people everywhere. When she stepped down the steps, she stepped on a void and sprained her foot. "Leave me alone, go find the princess."

As soon as Zhong Wan came out of the Yizheng Hall, the palace servants waiting outside said directly: "Concubine, the princess is gone!"

Qin Shu inside and several prime ministers who came out at the same time listened. Zhong Wan thought it was Anya who was naughty and hid herself. Only after hearing this did she realize that the matter was serious. "Have you found it yet? Send someone to look for it outside the palace." !"

Qin Shu summoned Zhongshu Sheren: "Go to Sanlang's residence and ask."

There was no good news until the night, Zhong Wan jumped up anxiously, and sent all the palace servants who took care of Anya away, and they were beaten outside together, screaming in pain.

"How could it be? Why is there no one around her?" Zhong Wan said to herself.

Saburo came in from the outside: "She didn't go to my place today. After Auntie sent someone to ask me, I sent someone to ask Jingzhao. Ruan Jingzhao said that several girls have been lost in the capital these days, and I'm afraid they may have met kidnappers."

Zhong Wan was startled and bumped her foot against the table leg, "How is this good?"

Qin Shu held her down: "What else did Jing Zhao say?"

Sanlang: "After Siniang disappeared, the Jinwu Guards also helped Jingzhao's police look for them. They found the den in the evening, but there was no Siniang. At noon, the kidnappers led a group of people out of Beijing."

Without saying a word, Qin Shu took down a very inconspicuous box from the bookshelf, "I've entrusted you with the dispatch order of the iron guard in black. Be sure to bring back all of Si Niang's beards."

Saburo's expression was complete: "I will." Without further delay, he took the box and left.

Zhong Wan clutched her chest, "This child didn't even know how to say when she ran out, how could such a small person suffer, how could she feel sorry for her father when something happened."

Qin Shu took a deep breath, bent down to support her, "She will come back."

Zhong Wan leaned against her, sobbing softly, "Damn girl, it's not worrying at all, I haven't looked at her for a few days."

The iron guard in black was handed over to Qin Shu after training by Taizu himself. If something happens, it is her last amulet. Qin Shu's throne has been so stable that she can't move it all these years. The iron guard in black can only play some role on the battlefield.

Saburo dispatched people at a very fast speed, followed the guidance of Jingzhao to break open the city gate that had been curfew, and searched outside Chang'an City.

39. January in Liangzhou

Anya gnawed on the dry pancakes, threw them on the floor after eating two bites, and the clothes she was wearing were uncomfortable, which made her very painful. It was night, and she was homesick, so she huddled into a ball and cried: "Mother, Madam Wan, I won't run around anymore, I won't be naughty anymore, I will study hard, you guys take me home... I miss my eldest brother, sister-in-law and third brother, hoot."

She and Min Lan were separated into one place, and Min Lan comforted: "It's much better if you cry."

Anya was puzzled: "Don't you miss home?"

Min Lan: "What kind of family do you want? It's not good for me. I work every day and have no food. Why don't you sell me and work as a servant girl in a rich family? If you're lucky, the master's family will value you and you will have a good life."

Anya was surprised: "To be a maid?"

"Ang, isn't it just to be a maid, is it to be the girl of the master's house?"

Min Lan thought of something, and said awkwardly: "You are the master's girl, right? I'm sorry."

Anya looked around anxiously. After being sold, would A Niang and Madam Wan still find her?If you can't find it, will you stop looking and let her go?After all, the nanny also said that she was not her own, nor did she adopt the Qin family name like her elder brother and third brother.She was thrown into the palace because her mother disliked taking her to remarry as a burden.

Thinking of this, she was aggrieved and afraid, and wept silently.

Min Lan watched her calm down, narrowed her eyes and smiled.

The fatigue caused by the long journey was directly reflected in the sleep of the children. They yawned and could not open their eyes at all. An Ya looked at the rice and some leafy vegetables in the broken bowl, staring at the small bowl.

It's a blood-licking business. The kidnappers are very cautious. They don't take the official road and don't need to cross the clear road. There are basically no villagers along the way. At night, there will be stops set up in advance to rest.

The bumpy stone road caused Anya to vomit out and spit out the carriage. Seeing that the carriage was dirty, Min Lan yelled, "It's so dirty!"

Li Si came in to check, and saw that her dirty face was also darkened, so she picked up Anya and dragged her to the water's edge, and pressed her head into the water.

Seeing bubbles coming out of the water, she was released from the water, and after a few breaths, she was pushed back into the water, and the cycle repeated.

Anya took a big breath, grabbed the only air, and said bitterly: "Bitch!"

Li Si was furious, "Dare to scold me? Sell you into the most inferior Goulan courtyard, and see if you can still scold me!"

Anya entered the water again until the air in her lungs was squeezed out. Li Si picked her up and slapped her heavily.

The mouth was torn, blood was seeping from the corner of the mouth, Anya still yelled: "Bitch! I feel disgusted when I see you!"

Li Si snorted contemptuously, dragged her back into the carriage, and ordered: "Don't give her food or water, and make me look like her when I see it."

In Dali Temple, Xie Bailing was dealing with the Taoist priest who had captured Anya. As soon as he entered, the Taoist priest saw two bloody people hanging in a cell, they were no longer human.

The Taoist priest was so frightened that he kowtowed and begged for mercy. Xie Bailing pointed to the two people and said, "The little lady you abducted is the princess of His Majesty today, and the widow daughter of a great Confucian. Because they killed Princess Lanling's biological father."

"I will confess, I will confess, and I will tell you everything I know." He is an ordinary person, and he can't imagine what kind of criminal law can turn two good people into that. Just look at it, and he will never be able to get rid of the nightmare in this life.

Xie Bailing called the chief bookkeeper to record the statement, "Say."

The Taoist priest shook like a sieve, and explained in detail: "Our leader is called Li Laosi. He is a business handed down from his ancestors. There are hidden piles in almost every place. For example, in the three places of Chang'an, Jinling, and Luoyang, there are many places. One or two children are inconspicuous. Abducted children are resold to each other, and they must not be sold locally. They must be separated by hundreds of miles, and there are temporary places on the road in between, so that they will not disturb the government.”

Xie Bailing stood with his hands behind his back, thought for a while, and said, "Send him to Jingzhao."

Saburo was galloping fast against the sun, and the people in the dens in Beijing were arrested and interrogated, saying that this batch was going to be sold to Liangzhou, and if they couldn't find it on the way, they would go to Liangzhou to guard it.

In the tea shed by the side of the road, he poured a pot of water with his head up, and washed his face with the water that flowed out. Saburo thumped the table irritably.

The road from Chang'an to Liangzhou is more than Sanqian Road, how will he find it?

After getting the confession from the Taoist priest, San Lang instigated the accompanying iron guards in black to bring him without stopping.

Saburo looped a rope, put it around the Taoist priest's neck, and said in a low voice, "Lead the way."

The Taoist dared not delay, and led them to the kidnapper's stronghold.

……

Li Si sold a few girls on the way. Liangzhou is mountainous, and it is not convenient to communicate with outsiders. Many families in the mountains like to buy child brides. Not to mention saving the dowry, they can help the family for a few more years.

Under Min Lan's compassion, Anya secretly ate something.

"I heard that Lao Li has negotiated with him and wants to sell you."

Anya wiped her mouth with her sleeve, "Who?"

Min Lan suddenly blushed, she was ten years old and knew many things, "That's right, to be a new wife."

Anya: "?"

Seeing that she still didn't understand, Min Lan explained in an easy-to-understand manner: "After you go, you will be the woman of that family and help the man take care of the house...to raise children."

Anya blinked and didn't quite understand, but after thinking about her elder brother and sister-in-law, she understood. After she understood, her first reaction was not to turn pale with shock, "Is it just marriage?"
