As we walked along, there was a drizzle in the sky.

Yu Dongjun was once again thankful that he met these good people from Ping An Escort Agency, otherwise he would definitely get sick on the road. Getting sick would be a small matter, but delaying the imperial examination would be a big deal.

Yu Dongjun originally wanted to walk on the road by himself, but the road was muddy and he almost sank into the mud with one step.

Only after An Jingzhi's repeated invitation did he sit in the carriage embarrassedly.

While sitting in the carriage, he was not idle. He read a book and looked at the situation outside from time to time. If he saw a car stuck in the mud, he would get off to help push the car.

They walked all the way until noon and finally saw the sun.

The sky cleared up, and they bought some food from a roadside stall and continued on their way.

Some people on the road saw the sign of Ping An Escort Agency, and those who knew that they were from the agency would follow silently.

Yu Dongjun felt deeply moved when he saw the small group of people following the escort agency.

"Brother An, Ping An Escort Agency will definitely grow bigger and bigger."

An Jingzhi smiled and talked to him for a few words, but he was actually absent-minded.

Judging from the rewards the original owner received after absorbing the good luck of Yu Dongjun and the human trafficker Wang Sanliang, Yu Dongjun should have been luckier.

He had secretly inquired about the whereabouts of Wang Sanliang, a human trafficker, long before he could find out the whereabouts of a human trafficker, Wang Sanliang.

They will definitely meet Wang Sanliang on this trip. Whether they can wipe out Wang Sanliang's den of thieves in one fell swoop depends on Yu Dongjun's luck.

The carriage arrived at a small town.

Yu Dongjun often sees disabled children kneeling on both sides of the street begging.

When they arrived at the inn to rest and adjust, he deliberately came out to take a look around and found that the children were all under the supervision of adults, intentionally or unintentionally.

When he came back, his face was grim. “Brother An, I found something wrong in this town.”

An Jingzhi looked up, waiting for his next words.

"Brother An, haven't you noticed the child beggars on both sides? There seem to be a lot of them?"

"I gave a child three copper coins and walked around. When I came back, the child's bowl was empty."

"I was hiding nearby and observing, and I found that these children were all being supervised by adults not far away."

"I suspect they're human traffickers." Yu Dongjun's expression was particularly grim. "Can't the local authorities see this?"

It’s not that the local authorities can’t see them, but that Wang Sanliang and his gang almost move to a new place after each shot, and then change their appearance again after a few months. Basically no one can catch them, and they will make more arrangements every time they arrive at a place.

Those children who had their hands and feet broken and were forced to beg were not good-looking enough to be sold at a high price. Those who were good-looking enough to be sold at a high price were all sold.

"Brother Yu, are you sure?" An Jingzhi pretended to be surprised.

"I'm sure." Yu Dongjun said firmly.

"This is my first time escorting someone here, so I'm not sure about the situation in this town. I'll ask someone else."

An Jingzhi went to call An Qiaozhi over.

An Qiaozhi was a little surprised when he learned about Yu Dongjun's guess.

"Actually, this is the first time I've encountered this situation. We've only been here three times in total, including this trip."

"There weren't so many child beggars the last two times." But you can encounter one or two big beggars.

An Jingzhi said: "It seems that these people have just arrived, so the government may not be aware of it yet."

What An Jingzhi said was a bit disingenuous. It was impossible for the government to be completely unaware of it. It was just that some people had made private deals, and as long as it didn't get out of hand, the government would turn a blind eye.

But Yu Dongjun's luck is far beyond that of ordinary people. If others go to the police to file a complaint, the case will probably end in nothing. But if he does this, it will probably succeed.

Although An Jingzhi is lucky, he can't make much of it in the small world and still has to rely on the locals.

Upon hearing this, the righteous Yu Dongjun immediately frowned and glared, "No, I'm going to report it to the authorities and have them arrest all these beasts!"

"Brother An, those children were probably not born with disabilities, they were beaten to death by them!"

Scenes flashed across the screen showing the pitiful appearance of those children. Some had their hands chopped off, some had their ears cut off, and some had their tongues cut off so that they could not speak. His anger grew even stronger.

"Brother Yu," An Jingzhi reminded him, "have you ever considered that reporting to the authorities might affect your imperial examination?"

"Perhaps the local authorities are secretly colluding with those people, and you will get into trouble if you report it to the authorities."

Yu Dongjun looked at An Jingzhi with disappointment, "Brother An, do you think I, Yu Dongjun, am such a coward who would abandon justice and live in fear of death?"

"I took the imperial examination to bring honor to my family and to serve the people. If I take a step back today when faced with injustice, will I take another step back tomorrow? Will I end up with nowhere to retreat and forget my original intention?"

"I believe that if my brother, sister-in-law and mother knew what I did today, they would only be proud of me!"

"I've missed out this year, but I can just take the exam again later. Even if I can't, I can still make a living with my own two hands and feet!"

An Jingzhi began to understand why Yu Dongjun's luck was better than that of ordinary people.

Such a person with righteousness in his heart will more or less be loved by the will of the heaven in this small world, just like a kind-hearted adoptive mother.

An Jingzhi suddenly burst into laughter and patted Yu Dongjun on the shoulder. "Brother Yu, I really didn't make a mistake about you."

Yu Dongjun reacted and said, "Brother An, were you testing me just now?"

An Jingzhi smiled and said, "It's not a test, it's also a reminder."

"What if I choose to back off?"

"Then you are not the Brother Yu I know. Just consider it as a mistake on my part."

After listening to what the two said, An Qiaozhi felt a little worried. "If we take charge of this matter and get into trouble with the government, what will happen to the escort agency's business?"

"I'm not worried about myself, but our escort agency now has about 50 to 60 people. If Ping An Escort Agency goes bankrupt, they will lose their jobs."

"Brother Qiao Zhi, don't worry," Yu Dongjun said, "I can go by myself. I'm a scholar, so I can directly present the complaint to the county magistrate."

"How can I let you take the risk alone?" An Jingzhi smiled and said, "I'll go with you."

He turned to An Qiaozhi and said, "Brother Qiaozhi, you lead the people from the escort agency to continue moving forward. We can't delay what we promised to others, otherwise the reputation of the escort agency will be affected. I will stay and help Brother Yu rescue people. In this kind of situation, more people are useless."

An Qiaozhi felt that this matter was a bit dangerous and was unwilling to let An Jingzhi stay no matter what. He wanted An Jingzhi to go with the escort, and he would stay to accompany Yu Dongjun.

In the end, An Jingzhi persuaded An Qiaozhi to leave by saying that he had not been on many escort missions and was not experienced, and that they were just reporting to the police and not really confronting the group of human traffickers.

The people from the Ping An Escort Agency left, and before leaving they left a carriage for them.

Yu Dongjun wrote a complaint by hand and submitted it to the local county government.

In such a small place, the title of scholar is still of some use. At least the county magistrate will not ignore it after seeing it.
