There was a hint of coldness in Shen Liang's words.
When the bandits of Tianlang Village headed by Ma Xiang heard this, their expressions suddenly changed!
Ma Xiang asked tentatively: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, do you mean to destroy our Tianlang Village?"
Shen Liang smiled slightly and was about to turn around and take off the luggage from the saddle when he heard the sound of a carriage traveling on the mountain road behind him.
Shen Liang stopped and looked towards the way he came.
I saw a mahogany carriage driving up the mountain carrying billowing dust and smoke.
"drive!"
The carriage was driven by two rugged men, dressed in black shorts and shorts. They didn't look like good birds at first glance.
The carriage quickly passed by Shen Liang. The two big men glanced at Shen Liang warily, then looked at Ma Xiang and others in confusion, and finally met up with the bandits of Tianlang Village.
"Master, we have delivered the goods."
The two big men got out of the car and said hello to Ma Xiang.
Then the carriage door curtain opened, and a fat woman in luxurious clothes walked out.
The fat woman couldn't help but look surprised when she saw Tianlang Village setting up such a huge array.
"Master, what are you..."
Ma Xiang didn't have the time to explain in detail now, and he knew very well that the deal between them and the fat woman must not be known to Shen Liang, who represented the Jin Palace.
So he came close to the fat woman and said in a low voice:
"Mama Liu, it's not convenient to do business today, so you should take the people away first."
Goods should not be sold overnight, which is Liu's mother's iron rule in running this business.
And it was obviously Ma Xiang who had been urging for this batch of goods a few days ago. If she got it in her hands, or happened to be found out by the officials tonight, she would be killed by Ma Xiang!
From this, Liu Ma frowned and said:
"Master, you and I have been together for many years. You should understand my rules."
"Besides, this batch of goods is hard to come by. If you don't take it, I will sell it elsewhere. If you want goods of this level again, you will have to try your luck."
After saying that, the fat woman returned to the carriage, opened the curtain, and asked the horse to inspect the goods.
Ma Xiang looked at it with an irritated look. When he saw clearly the quality of the "goods" inside, his tightened brows instantly relaxed.
At the same time, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind!
"Okay! Okay! Mother Liu, please wait for me for a moment and let me discuss with that noble man!"
Looking in the direction of the horse's ringing finger, Liu's mother "understood" that it turned out that the entire Tianlang Village came out to welcome Shen Liang, a young nobleman.
Ma Xiang grasped the handle of the knife at his waist and walked towards Shen Liang with rapid strides.
He was not worried about the danger of having close contact with Shen Liang alone. After all, the news that His Royal Highness was a martial arts loser had spread throughout the Great Yan Dynasty more than ten years ago.
Even though Shen Jiajun might be ambushing in the dark, he was not afraid. Instead, he took the opportunity to get close to Shen Liang. If something happened, taking him hostage on the spot would be a better way to gain insurance for today's situation.
As for Shen Liang, although he didn't take out the weapons from his luggage, he was also not worried about Ma Xiang approaching and killing him suddenly.
Unless all the strings in Ma Xiang's mind are broken.
Otherwise, killing His Highness the Prince of Jin would be tantamount to forming a deadly feud with Shen Wanjun!
By then, regardless of whether your horse has tens of thousands of legs, even if you run away to the ends of the earth, you will be hunted for your soul by the Shen family army until you are chopped into meat paste and ground into powder!
"Your Highness."
Cautiously walking up to Shen Liang, Ma Xiang lowered his posture, bowed his head and clasped his fists.
Shen Liang smiled and nodded, humming.
Ma Xiang quickly organized his words in order to gain a chance of survival and said:
"Your Highness, although I don't know why the Jin Palace has not sent troops to Tianlang Village for many years, and why it suddenly wants to annihilate us today, but in the humble opinion of the grassroots, we can discuss everything."
Shen Liang's interest was aroused and he couldn't help but ask:
"How do you want to discuss this?"
Ma Xiang didn't dare to go around in circles, so he quickly turned around and pointed at Liu Ma's carriage.
"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, there are three young girls in the carriage. It is the age when Xiaohe is just showing her sharp horns. I took a look just now and they are all beautiful girls. I originally wanted to buy them to honor the two officials of Jincheng. Today, If I have the honor to talk to His Highness, I should naturally put my filial piety first."
"As for my Tianlang Village..."
"If Your Highness has a royal order, I can give you dozens of humble orders for Your Highness to deliver. The rest of us, as long as His Highness doesn't mind it, will be willing to work hard for His Highness from now on, through fire and water, no matter what!"
After Ma Xiang said this, Shen Liang knew the purpose of the fat woman driving up the mountain.
In his previous life, Shen Liang also went on several missions to destroy human traffickers' dens.
Those abducted children who are good-looking may be sold to live in families with good conditions.
Those in bad condition, or those that were resold to some evil organizations, had their hands and feet broken, their vocal cords destroyed with charcoal, and sent to the streets as begging tools, or their organs were removed and buried in a hole. .
The cruelty and inhumane methods were such that when Shen Liang saw that scene for the first time, he was determined to make these human traffickers pay a heavy price!
But on the surface, Shen Liang pretended to be impressed, nodded at Ma Xiang and said:
"Bring the person over here and show me."
When Ma Xiang saw Shen Liang's interest, he couldn't help but be happy.
"Yes, yes, I'll do it right away, little one!"
Turning around, Ma Xiang waved and shouted:
"Second brother! Bring Mama Liu's goods over here!"
Ge Liang's mind was sharper than Ma Xiang's, and he immediately understood what was going on.
Liu Ma also wanted to take the opportunity to get close to the noble Shen Liang, so she accompanied Ge Liang and sent three disgraced young girls to Shen Liang.
The three young girls lowered their heads timidly and their bodies were shaking uncontrollably.
Ma Xiang roughly picked up one person's chin and asked Shen Liang with a smile:
"Your Highness, what do you think of the appearance of this?"
"Your Highness?!"
Before Shen Liang could answer, Liu's mother immediately burst out in surprise after hearing this title!
Ge Liang spoke to comfort him.
"Mama Liu, don't make such a fuss. Didn't I tell you earlier that our head of the family has a good relationship with Prince Jin's Mansion?"
Mother Liu recalled what she said, and while secretly relieved, she also hurriedly saluted Shen Liang.
"Liu Fang, a grassroots citizen, pays homage to His Highness."
Shen Liang waved his hand casually.
"Since they are all members of my own family, I can speak frankly."
"Today I am here to suppress the bandits under the orders of my father. But since you are so sincere, I will give you a clear path."
Ma Xiang and Ge Liang hurriedly clasped their fists and bowed.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Shen Liang stretched out three fingers.
"First, the origins of these three young girls must be explained clearly. I have to send people to eliminate the roots to prevent this matter from being exposed and damaging the reputation of the palace."
"Second, please state the names of the two officials who have friendship with you in Jincheng truthfully, so that I can send someone to tell them that you will be my people from now on, and there is no need for you to pay two more large gifts."
"Third, take out all the gold and silver treasures that Tianlang Village has collected over the years, and I will distribute them clearly to you in person, so that after you follow me, you will not fight in secret because of the uneven distribution of family wealth."
After listening to Shen Liang's three instructions, Ma Xiang and Ge Liang were so moved that they almost cried.
They all thought in unison -
Your Highness is so kind, he has thought so much about us, woo woo woo...
