Because of Xiaoyu, Lin Mengya had a better understanding of the Lieyun Empire.
This country was very mysterious. It was said that it was one of the few regimes that combined religion and politics.
The monarch was not only the ruler of the country, but also the supreme leader of the religion.
However, the religion of Lieyun was not one of the Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist religions. Moreover, the doctrines of Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist religions were regarded as extreme heresy in Lieyun.
The extremely xenophobic tradition made Lieyun one of the most mysterious countries.
However, business contacts were also an important means for Lieyun to communicate with the outside world.
The people of Lieyun in front of Lin Mengya were all tall and slim.
The men wore black and white headscarves on their heads, while the women wore intricate silver ornaments.
Regardless of the men or women, they all covered their faces with a veil.
Only the old man in the middle did not wear it.
What made Lin Mengya curious was that the old man had white hair at his temples. However, his face was very ruddy. There were few wrinkles on his face, but his eyes were cold and filled with hatred.
Lin Mengya unconsciously glanced at his piercing eyes and felt uncomfortable all over.
Fortunately, she was merely sizing him up and didn't have any ill intentions.
The old man just glared at her and continued to stare at the two brothers, Black Tiger and White Dragon.
"Yuan Lin, you go upstairs first."
The situation between the two sides was about to explode at any moment.
Master Guo calmly took out his tobacco pipe and asked Lin Mengya to go back to the room.
Now, there would be a conflict between the four sides.
Lin Mengya stood up obediently, bowed to Master Guo, and then slowly went back to the second floor.
In a few words, the situation was clear.
The two brothers named Black Tiger and White Dragon must be in the business of human trafficking. However, they had captured the companions of the people from Lieyun Empire.
Lord Maliu seemed to despise what Black Tiger and White Dragon had done, so he was openly and secretly against them.
As a good friend of Lord Maliu, Master Guo could not bear to see his friend fighting alone and being bullied.
Lin Mengya leaned back against the door and shook her head.
She did not expect that every time she went out, it would be a disaster. She really did not know when she would be able to live a peaceful life.
Downstairs, it was already a battle of words. Neither side was willing to give in.
Lin Mengya didn't want to listen to the quarrel, so she pulled Baishao along and looked out of the window. Looking at the street below the window, the night market scenery with people coming and going.
However, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the situation outside.
"This person is too despicable. He's actually a human trafficker! Our neighbor, Little Shitou, was kidnapped by human traffickers. Aunty Shi cried so hard that her eyes went blind. A good family had been destroyed by them! Why don't the authorities arrest such people? "
Baishao whispered excitedly. Lin Mengya had the same idea as her. She could still vividly remember the tragic scene of black people being sold into slavery in her high school history class.
Although the Black Dragon and White Tiger were just like that crow, they were indeed very hateful. However, it was impossible for them to do it alone.
The economic chain behind this was the mastermind that drove them to do such illegal things.
Getting rid of them would only make this evil chain lose an unimportant link.
As long as the interests were still there, sooner or later, someone would replace their position and continue to make money.
Since she wanted to interfere, she couldn't do nothing. At least, she had to make sure that this evil business chain would not harm others for a period of time.
But now, she had to wait and see, so that she could follow the clues.
"Shh, I'll sneak out to see what they are doing. Go to bed later and lock all the doors and windows. I'll knock on the door when I come back. "
Baishao shook her head and grabbed Lin Mengya's sleeve tightly.
From the sounds of banging outside, there must be a fight going on.
Although her master was clever, swords were blind. What if she accidentally hurt her master?
"Oh, do I look like the kind of person who would rush upstairs like a fool? I'm just looking for a suitable place on the second floor to sneak a peek. Besides, I don't know any martial arts. If I rush downstairs, won't I cause trouble for Master Guo? Don't worry! "
Lin Mengya managed to escape from Baishao's grasp after much persuasion.
She promised herself again and again that she would not rush up and fight with them. Then, she sneaked out of the door on the second floor.
Fortunately, there was only a quarrel on the first floor. In fact, there was no fight.
Lin Mengya peeked downstairs through the gap of the fence.
Now, White Dragon, Black Tiger, and the people of Lieyun were the ones who were cursing the most.
As for Master Guo and Lord Maliu, they seemed to be the middleman.
But Master Guo just sat there smoking, while Lord Maliu seemed to be trying to mediate something. But his tone was obviously in the direction of the people of Lieyun.
In short, there was constant friction. It was only a matter of time before they started fighting.
She watched anxiously, but she didn't notice that there were two pairs of eyes that had fallen on her since she didn't know when.
"Why did you come out? Didn't Master Guo say that you should rest in your room? "
Qiu Yu came to her side without her noticing.
But he was pulled down by Lin Mengya and squatted behind the fence with her, watching the situation below nervously.
"It would be a pity not to watch such a show. Oh yes, do you know the background of White Dragon and Black Tiger? "
In fact, not only Lin Mengya and her companions, but many passers-by who had nothing to do with this matter were also watching secretly.
The group of businessmen had their own rules. They were not the kind of people who would fight against each other at the slightest disagreement.
Because the caravan had been making a living on this road for many years, there were many rules and regulations.
Anyone who wanted to be in this business had to abide by these rules. Even if they were in a shady business like Black Tiger and White Dragon.
Qiu Yu looked at Lin Mengya helplessly and said,
"The man from Lieyun is called Dongfang Xu. He is a businessman who sells medicine in Lieyun. More than half of the poisons in the Capital City are from Lieyun. Do you see the people behind him? It is said that they are all experts in using poison. "
Lin Mengya nodded. The Shen Nung system was running all the time. She knew this better than anyone else.
The series of dazzling names of poisons was enough to show that these people were not easy to deal with.
In this case, why did White Dragon and Black Tiger dare to go against them?
"That White Dragon and Black Tiger are famous human traffickers on this road. Crow is their subordinate. He is in charge of selling people from different countries to Lieyun as slaves. But the people of Lieyun are born beautiful. Many daring nobles from different countries like to keep the women and children of Lieyun as their exclusive property. Moreover, they are born to use poison. Therefore, the treatment they receive is the most miserable. Dongfang Xu's niece disappeared inexplicably a few days ago. And before she disappeared, someone saw that White Dragon's subordinate had a conflict with the girl. Therefore, Dongfang Xu asked Master Guo and Master Maliu to help him after he failed to get her. "
Lin Mengya nodded. When she bumped into Xiaoyu, she planned to sell him as a toy when he grew up.
At the thought of Xiaoyu's miserable appearance, Lin Mengya could not help but feel angry.
Therefore, his desire to destroy the White Dragon and the Black Tiger had increased a little.
"Is Dongfang Xu's niece in White Dragon's hands?"
This was the question that Lin Mengya was most concerned about.
Qiu Yu shook his head. He had just arrived at the inn with Lin Mengya. It wasn't easy for him to obtain this information.
Lin Mengya rolled her eyes and whispered her plan into Qiu Yu's ear.
"This … is not a good idea."
Qiu Yu looked at Lin Mengya awkwardly, but Lin Mengya looked at him with a pair of pleading eyes.
In the end, he could not persuade her, so he had to accept his fate and nodded.
Without attracting anyone's attention, the two of them sneaked down the stairs.
Fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on the four tables in the middle, so no one had time to pay attention to them.
They went down the stairs to the backyard, where all the goods of the caravan were parked.
"Say, if White Dragon and Black Tiger wanted to sell human beings, how did they transport them to different places?"
Although it was night, there were many lamps in the backyard. Lin Mengya and Qiu Yu stood in the shadow and talked in a low voice.
"I don't know. There's no other way to transport them except by horse carriage."
But Lin Mengya looked around and found that there were also carts for transporting goods and small horse carriages like the one she rode in.
It did not seem that there was a place to hide people.
The town was only so big. If they stopped here every time. They would definitely find a safe place to store the people they abducted.
There must be a place that was big enough to hide from the eyes and ears of others. Most importantly, even if they let those people live there, it would not arouse suspicion.
Lin Mengya suddenly thought of a place.
"Is there a coffin house nearby?"
Qiu Yu looked at her in confusion. Then, after thinking carefully, he answered her.
"On the way here, there seems to be a coffin house five miles away from the town. But that place is very unlucky for ordinary people. Why are you asking about this? "
It was far away from human habitation. Ordinary people would not go there for no reason.
Lin Mengya had almost locked on the target. There was no time to lose. She took advantage of Master Guo's entanglement to go there and have a look.
After telling Qiu Yu about his thoughts, Qiu Yu immediately revealed an indescribably horrified expression.
