Life of an exile [BL]

085 - 087

085

The kid who stole things was not very old, about eight or nine years old.

However, considering that ordinary people in ancient times were generally malnourished, his actual age was probably a few years older.

The clothes on his body were tattered, and through the holes, some purple marks on his body could be vaguely seen.

Lin Yi looked at the other party's skillful kneeling posture and begging words, and knew that it was not the first time he stole things, and it was very likely that he was a habitual thief.

If it was really the first time, he would have been scared and panicked if he was caught, and he would not have said these words to beg for mercy.

But Lin Yi was not sure whether the other party was a child controlled by the local "Beggar Gang".

It is called the Beggar Gang, but it is actually an organization of human traffickers.

Those who are beautiful and good-looking are sold.

The rest who can't be sold at a good price or can't be sold are taught to steal chickens and dogs, go to the streets to steal and rob...

Those who are disobedient will even have their hands and feet broken, and let them go to the streets to beg for pity.

This situation exists even in modern society, let alone this period.

The White Lotus Sect is a "beggar gang" in a religious guise.

The White Lotus Sect took advantage of the famine to recruit believers.

The believers, those with money, contributed money, and those without money contributed people.

How did they contribute people?

Adults, men were sold as coolie slaves, and women were sold to brothels.

Children, those with good qualifications were taken to the headmaster for training, those with poor qualifications were also sold, and those who could not be sold went to the streets to beg for money...

From top to bottom, a complete industrial chain has been formed.

The so-called believers, in the White Lotus Sect, cannot be regarded as human beings at all, but only as a commodity, a resource that can be exchanged for benefits.

Lin Yi and Gao Yanli learned a lot of information about the White Lotus Sect from the former White Lotus Sect members who were subdued.

The White Lotus Sect has a Fen Yang Duo in Anhe County.

Fen Yang Duo is under the White Tiger God Envoy, an intelligence agency, whose main responsibility is to inquire and transmit information. Most of the beggars in the county are their people.

The leader of Fen Yang Duo, Jiang Hu, has the White Tiger Envoy Mao Xiaoting as his superior.

Who is this Mao Xiaoting?

When the leader's wife Su Kui was in the brothel, Mao Xiaoting was the mother of the brothel.

When Su Kui left, Mao Xiaoting followed him.

As long as Jiang Hu is found, Mao Xiaoting can be found through Jiang Hu, and then Su Kui's whereabouts can be found.

Through Su Kui, Wu Ziyuan's whereabouts can be found naturally.

It's no wonder that Wu Ziyuan is so cautious.

After all, the White Lotus Sect is a rebel organization, and it is near the capital, under the emperor's nose.
