Chapter 118 The Heart of Vengeance
Before the gambling game began, the familiar figure Lin Mo saw when he hugged Jin Xiangyu downstairs was Ling Hai. At that time, Ling Hai was hugging a girl into the house, probably going to have fun.
Lin Mo originally thought that Ling Hai was leaving while he was gambling with everyone, but he didn't expect that he was still here. It seemed that he was having too much fun and ignored the noise in the hall.
Looking at Ling Hai who kowtowed and begged for mercy, Lin Mo did not respond to him, but turned to look at Ji Qian: "General Ji, take good care of Dr. Ling. He is not an ordinary person."
"The emperor is willing to obey the orders of the Lord of the Supreme Court." Ji Qian bowed his hand and waved his hand, ordered the two generals behind him to carry Ling Hai away and imprison him alone.
Lin Mo had another plan for Ling Hai, which was to ask King Rong to negotiate a price. King Rong had just lost two prisoners. Ling Hai happened to be a member of the Later Party and was sold to King Rong.
Ling Hai is a doctor of the Ministry of Rites and has a special status. His crime cannot be put on the table. If his crime is published, it will be extremely unfavorable to the face of the Dakan court. Now some people are eyeing the imperial capital.
Lin Mo came this time very worthwhile. Not only did he make a lot of money, he also helped Tang Yunu find a capable stop, and there was also an unexpected big gain, that is, Linghai.
It's really a surprise.
After explaining everything, Lin Mo asked Shi Chen and found that it was almost Hai hour (21:00), so he stopped staying, and was about to leave with Jin Xiangyu's willow waist.
At this time, Ji Qian called Lin Mo.
"Sir Shangqing, please wait a moment. How should these girls in this building deal with it?"
Lin Mo stopped and looked in the direction Ji Qian pointed out, and saw hundreds of girls with empty eyes standing in a pile, with soldiers maintaining order on the outside.
Looking at them, Lin Mo was in trouble. These girls were all abducted by human traffickers and hypnotized by Qin Zhentian. It would be really difficult to properly resettle them.
You can't get them all to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion under Tang Yunu. These girls are not voluntarily selling themselves. If they are taken away and allowed to see those who know them, things will happen.
It would be even more inappropriate to take it back to the Lin Mansion or send it to another country for resettlement? That would be even more inappropriate. If so many girls were going back tonight, Yan Baiyu would probably twist his ears and peel off a layer of his skin.
Just as Lin Mo was in a dilemma, Jin Xiangyu seemed to remember something, left Lin Mo's embrace and walked towards Qin Zhentian's room on the third floor. After a while, she walked down with an exquisite box.
"Xiangyu, what is this?" Lin Mo asked curiously.
"Anti-drug." As he spoke, Jin Xiangyu opened the box, which was filled with medicine bottles: "Those girls were all poisoned by Qin Zhentian, so their eyes were blind, like walking corpses."
It turned out that he had been slaughtered. Lin Mo initially thought that it was Qin Zhentian who hypnotized and brainwashed them.
After looking at the girls again, Lin Mo asked curiously: "Can Qin Zhentian be from the Miao Village in the southwest of Dagan? I heard that the people there are good at placing poison?"
Jin Xiangyu shook her head: "Qin Zhentian accidentally got a book on Gu practice and gave the girls a Gu. It was learned from the book on Gu practice. These antidotes were also refined by Qin Zhentian based on the records in Gu practice." "Why did Qin Zhentian refine the antidote?" Lin Mo was even more curious: "Could Qin Zhentian remove the Gu for those girls and let them leave here?"
"That's not." Jin Xiangyu glanced at the well-dressed people who were squatting on the ground with their heads in their arms: "This is for those people. When they were with the girls in the building..., they would take this medicine in order not to be eroded by the gu."
Now Lin Mo understood that the antidote was for those well-dressed people. They would take this precaution before they were in love with the girl in the building to avoid the influence of the Gu in the girl in the building.
Lin Mo estimated that these antidotes would also be charged, because if Lin Mo was Qin Zhentian, he would sell the antidote for money, and not for expensive ones, just sell ten gold leaves. This accumulated over time and a considerable income.
Lin Mo picked up a bottle and looked at it for a few times, put it back into the box, took it as a gesture and wanted to hand it over to Lin Mo. At this time, Jin Xiangyu suddenly said, "Sir, have you really thought about dispelling the Gu for those girls?"
"Xiangyu, what do you mean?" Lin Mo withdrew his hand and looked at Jin Xiangyu with little understanding. Since there is an antidote, why don't you give them the antidote? Then will you keep controlling them?
"Sir, why are you confused at this time?" Jin Xiangyu said: "Sir, Xiangyu tells you a story that happened in this Guixiang Tower..."
The story took place six years ago. Six years ago, a young man fell in love with the girl in this building and wanted to redeem her and take her as his concubine. Qin Zhentian agreed and gave the girl the antidote.
But the tragedy happened. The girl woke up after taking the medicine to understand. She remembered the everything that happened in Guixiang Tower and many of her own people who had touched her. She was ashamed and threw herself into a well and committed suicide.
After listening to this short story, Lin Mo was silent and lamented in his heart. Yes, this is an era and world where a woman regards fame as more important than life!
He looked at the girls standing like wooden stakes again, and then at the antidote in his hands. Lin Mo knew that if they were really going to relieve the Gu of them like this, they would wake up, and there would be many girls who would choose to commit suicide.
It is definitely not possible to not remove the Gu for them, continue to control them and let them continue to be walking zombies. If you remove the Gu for them, someone among them will choose to commit suicide.
Not only that, even if those who did not choose to commit suicide, their families would not tolerate them even if they returned home. Their bodies were no longer clean, and their families would not keep such a shame.
In this way, those girls who commit suicide will wander around and live a miserable life, may die, may fall into the dust again, and may also have a great chance of committing suicide.
Thinking of all this, Lin Mo suddenly fell into a dilemma.
The atmosphere slowly became silent. Jin Xiangyu, Xifeng Qiuyun, Xiaoying and Ji Qiandu turned their eyes to Lin Mo, all waiting for Lin Mo's choice and Lin Mo's answer.
After being silent for a long time, Lin Mo gritted his teeth and made a decision and handed the box in his hand to Ji Qian: "President Ji will detoxify them. When detoxify, let the soldiers stay by their side to prevent them from choosing to commit suicide immediately."
Ji Qian did not disobey Lin Mo's words at all. He respectfully took the box and ordered the two men to watch a girl in groups, and then began to take the antidote to those girls.
Xiaoying smiled faintly about Lin Mo's choice. Fortunately, this person was not too bad. He knew to detoxify them instead of continuing to control them and let them continue to be the walking zombies.
Jin Xiangyu looked at Lin Mo calmly, and a strange light appeared in her eyes. Feelings surged. She stood on tiptoe and kissed Lin Mo gently on the side face, leaving a faint red lips mark.
Lin Mo didn't know whether his decision was correct, but he knew that Gu must be solved. Those girls are human beings, not cold puppets. They should have some freedom and their own thoughts.
After a lot of time, the girls' eyes began to change, and a little bit of their spirit was restored. The tragic memories in Guixiang Tower quickly surged into their hearts and attacked them.
The girls began to cry loudly, began to shout in a daze, struggled wildly, heart-wrenchingly. If it weren't for the soldiers pulling them, some of them would have already hit the wall and died.
Lin Mo knew that he should stand up and say something. If he didn't stand up, the girl would bite her tongue and commit suicide. Lin Mo didn't want to see such a picture. These girls have already suffered too much.
"Misses, I am the first-rank senior minister of this big-time job. Lin Mo and Lin Ziyong, please listen to me and know the pain of all the girls. But please don't choose to die first. Listen to me first, just one sentence."
Some girls have slowly calmed down, but some continue to cry loudly. This is still too painful for them and they really can't bear it.
The crying was not that loud. Lin Mo knew that his next sentence was crucial. Whether it could dispel their desire to seek death was his own words.
After sorting out his thoughts, Lin Mo walked up to them and whispered: "Misses, I, Lin Mo, just want to tell you that living is important. I, I, ask you to live for yourself."
Lin Mo's voice was low, with many emotions inside, and there was a hint of rosy in the corners of his eyes, as if he was crying and begging them not to die and asking them to survive.
Seeing this, the girls all calmed down and showed an incredible expression to the scene in front of them. Why did he beg us so much as a first-class minister? Why did he care so much about our lives and death?
Seeing that his perfect performance played a role, Lin Mo was delighted and continued to say in sincere words: "Misses, you go home first. If your family members refuse to accept you, you will come to this imperial capital to find me Lin Mo."
As he said that, Lin Mo glanced at the eyes of the girls again: "As long as you live well, I, Lin Mo, will never let you wander around. I will make you stronger and report this bad anger that has been sold."
Now, the girls looked at each other. At the most desperate moment of their lives, they looked at Lin Mo at this time, as if they saw a big tree, a big tree that could shelter them from the wind and rain.
The most important thing is that they heard a reason for them to continue to live, and he would make himself stronger, take revenge, and kill the evil people who caused their situation.
The whole audience became quiet, and the last girl gave up her desire to seek death. Lin Mo couldn't help but feel relieved, and finally stabilized the girls who were in despair.
Lin Mo knew that he could stabilize them because of a promise, a promise that would prevent them from wandering, but more importantly, a hope and reason.
This hope and reason is revenge.
Lin Mo said that he wanted to make them stronger and to kill the human traffickers who caused them to end up in such miserable ways. The desire for revenge will support their survival.
