Hearing this, Du Jiang no longer hesitated and told all his business lines in recent years.

It turns out that the reason why Du Jiang's disguised child trafficking business was able to remain dormant in the imperial capital of Lizhou for so many years was not just because of the cover of the cloth business, but also because some ministers in the court accepted bribes from Du Jiang. With those ministers covering up for him, the court officials could not find Du Jiang.
Over the years, countless children have left Du Jiang's home, and they are widely distributed. Even after many years, some simple-minded children who are now living a good life have always been grateful for Du Jiang's kindness when they grew up. They always believe that it was Du Jiang who gave them new hope, and they are willing to do whatever Du Jiang asked them to do.
In addition, there is a group of people specially trained by Du Jiang, who are only responsible for collecting some information. Although they are not as good as professional undercover spies, some of the information they have is very important. Therefore, Du Jiang has a lot of information in his hands.
"Xu Ruixuan..." Ji Xingzhi chewed on the name in a low voice, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He snorted softly and thought to himself: What a veteran of three dynasties.
Du Jiang bowed and said, "I haven't asked for your name yet, sister?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xingzhi slowly stood up and said, "Jian Yao."
For the safety of his own property and the lives of his family, Du Jiang can be said to be open and honest.
After understanding some of the situation, Ji Xingzhi straightened his veil and said calmly, "All business will continue as usual. As for those children... take me to see them and then I can make a final decision."
"Okay." Du Jiang nodded.
The guest rooms were far from where the children lived, and it took a long detour to reach the destination. I could clearly hear the children's noises as if they were right next to my ears, yet I had walked so far.
This shows how noisy the child is.
It was a courtyard, and the houses in the courtyard were full of people, all holding a thick book in their hands, and the sound of them reading aloud could be heard in unison.
The teacher stood at the door, holding a book in his hand and standing with his hands behind his back. The sound of neat reading came into my ears, and a relieved smile appeared on his kind face.
There were also a dozen or so children practicing martial arts in the yard, holding wooden swords in their hands, swinging them out, retracting them, stabbing them forward, and spinning them backward, performing the movements in a very realistic manner.
Suddenly, Ji Xingzhi's eyes fixed on a girl, and that girl was Nian.
I saw that every movement of Nian was very standard, and he danced with the sword with great vigor and not slow at all. It was like he had become a different person, with very quick reactions.
Undoubtedly, among these many children who practiced sword fighting by imitating others, Nian was the most talented one.
Ji Xingzhi stared at Nian and asked in a low voice, "Master Du, who is that girl...?"
Du Jiang followed Ji Xingzhi's gaze and saw Nian who was diligently practicing sword skills. Du Jiang uttered an "oh" and suddenly sighed, "Her name is Nian. I met her at the gate of the Du Mansion. She was starving, her face was dark yellow, and she was so thin that her bones were visible. However, her eyes were bright and full of determination to survive.
I took her in out of pity. When I asked her where she was from, she didn't say anything, and she wouldn't tell me where she lived. When I asked her name, she took a long time to utter a single word, and from then on, I asked her to recite it.
She had been hit on the head and was in a daze. After she got better, her reaction time became very slow. When you talk to her, she takes a while to answer.
Despite this, she is very intelligent. No one in the academy can compare to her in reading and writing, and she is even the best in martial arts."
