Chapter 865: Starting with a sack, the protagonist is abducted

In the ninth year of Changtai in the Ming Dynasty, Yangzhou Prefecture.

In a remote alley in the south of the city, in a simple house.

"Old Nine, you came all the way to Jinling this time, how come you only brought back one? This is not like you."

"You know nothing. What I brought back this time is top quality stuff."

"What high-quality stuff? Could it be the son or daughter of some rich family? Quickly untie the sack and let me take a look."

"Why are you in such a hurry? It took me a lot of effort to get this kid back. I don't know how a kid in his teens could be so heavy."

As he spoke, the short and sturdy man called Lao Jiu put down the sack on his back and untied the hemp rope at the mouth of the sack, revealing a handsome boy with delicate features.

"It is indeed a top-grade item, so handsome. If it meets those dignitaries who are interested in men, it will definitely be sold at a high price. Lao Jiu, you are really lucky. However, this could not be the son of a prince or noble family, right? You should not mess with someone you shouldn't mess with."

"Hehe, you are wrong. This kid is not the son of a noble family, but the son of a poor scholar. Moreover, I have already found out that this kid lost his mother when he was young, and his father, a scholar, also passed away not long ago. He is the only one left, and he survives by relying on the help of his neighbors.

I will kidnap him and find him a rich and powerful family, so that he can enjoy wealth and glory, which can be considered as doing good deeds and accumulating virtues."

"Come on, for people in our profession, it's already good enough to enjoy a few days of wealth and luxury before we die. Do you really think you can become a good person just by praying to Buddha for a few days?"

"Why can't I do this? Haven't you heard those great monks say that if you put down your butcher knife, you will become a Buddha right away? Butchers kill so many chickens, ducks, cows and sheep, and as long as they put down their butcher knives, they can become Buddhas. Why can't we, the kidnappers, do the same?"

While the two were talking, they didn't notice that the young boy who had just been released from the sack had woken up.

Lu Cheng was also a little surprised at this moment. He did not expect that he would be reborn directly into a sack this time and became a ten-year-old child, and a child abducted by human traffickers.

After a moment of distraction, Lu Cheng had already recalled the identity assigned to him by the system this time: the only son of a scholar in Jinling City. As usual, both his parents had passed away and he was left alone.

"Hey, Laojiu, look, this kid is awake. He looks even more handsome after opening his eyes. I am a little moved by him."

As he said that, the tall, thin and wretched man actually stretched out his hand and was about to pinch Lu Cheng's face.

Lu Cheng reacted instantly and rushed out instantly. He was the first to arrive and with the Iron Mountain Leaning move, he crashed directly into the arms of the tall and thin man.

The tall and thin man only saw a black shadow flash before his eyes, and the whole person seemed to be hit by a galloping carriage. He flew backwards and hit the wall behind him with a bang, and fainted.

This happened so suddenly that the short and strong man named Lao Jiu had not yet reacted when he saw his companion falling to the ground.

The next moment, Lao Jiu felt a pain in his chest, his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness.

After knocking down the two men, Lu Cheng lowered his head and skillfully untied the purses around their waists, then searched inside their sleeves and chests, and found a total of fifteen taels of silver and some copper coins.

In addition, a dagger and some knockout drugs were found on each of the two men.

Just after searching the two human traffickers, Lu Cheng heard a burst of crying coming from a room inside.

After throwing the loot he had just looted into the storage space, Lu Cheng opened the side door and walked into the room. He saw three little girls leaning against the wall, crying.

The youngest of the three girls was only four or five years old, and the oldest was seven or eight years old. They were all fair and clean, and did not look like children from poor families.

At this moment, seeing the door open, the three children immediately stopped crying and looked towards the door with some fear.

When they saw that it was Lu Cheng who came in, instead of the ferocious tall man, the three children were stunned.

Lu Cheng closed the door to prevent the three children from seeing the two human traffickers lying on the ground outside. He then spoke softly, "Don't be afraid. A hero just came and knocked down the two bad guys. We are safe now."

When the three children heard Lu Cheng's voice, they all relaxed a little. Some cried out loud, while others wiped tears from the corners of their eyes with their clothes.

Lu Cheng waited until the three children calmed down before asking, "Okay, everything is fine now. Do you still know where your home is? What are your parents' names?"

The older girl also spoke up, her voice soft and sticky: "Brother, I live in Taizhou Prefecture, and my family is in the silk business..."

Another six-year-old girl also spoke up: "I... I'm from Runzhou, and my family runs a rice shop..."

When it was the turn of the little girl, who was about four or five years old, she didn't know what to say because she was too young. She just shouted, "I want my father and mother..."

Perhaps children of this generation are all precocious. Except for the youngest girl, the other two children told their home addresses and some simple information.

After the three children finished speaking, Lu Cheng comforted them, "Don't be afraid. The bad guys outside have been defeated. We are safe now. I will go out to check the situation and then take you outside to find the officials to take us home."

As he spoke, Lu Cheng had already used his hypnosis skills. The three children, who were already tired of crying, leaned against each other and fell asleep.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng walked out of the room, closed the door, picked up the tall and thin man who had been knocked unconscious, walked into a room on the other side, slapped him to wake him up, and began to interrogate him.

"How many accomplices do you have? Where do these kidnapped children come from?"

The tall and thin man who had just woken up looked dazed for a moment when he saw Lu Cheng, and then he honestly gave the answer that Lu Cheng wanted.

After learning the place where these children were abducted, Lu Cheng also asked for information about the group of human traffickers.

There were twelve people in this gang, who usually traveled in groups of three or four, kidnapping young girls. They would raise the kidnapped children until they were twelve or thirteen years old, and then take them to other places to sell them.

As for Lu Cheng, a boy, the reason why he was abducted was only because he was too handsome.

The Lao Jiu who trafficked "Lu Cheng" is the most capable of the group. He often likes to be alone and he likes to traffic high-value children the most.

The tall and thin man and his two partners are probably drinking outside right now, leaving the tall and thin man here to guard.

This house was also rented by them from Yazi and used as a temporary residence.

These human traffickers are habitual criminals. They rarely stay in one place for too long and roam around committing crimes. Even the government can't do anything about them.

Therefore, even if children from powerful families are abducted, it is difficult to find them back.

After asking the tall and thin man, Lu Cheng directly crushed his throat and sent him to death.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng brought the short and strong man into the house, asked him the same questions, and then sent him to the west.

After doing all this, Lu Cheng was not in a hurry to go out, but waited patiently in the house, waiting for the two human traffickers to return.

Just after waking up, Lu Cheng found that his physical condition was much worse than before. Perhaps it was due to his age and his body still needed to develop and grow.

Taking this opportunity, Lu Cheng opened the system panel and checked his personal information...
