"Zhang San, Li Si, Chong Wu... they kidnapped and sold over ten women and children, looted homes, and raped and murdered good women!"
"The serious crime he committed has now been proven, so we are arresting him!"
…
Zhao Ping read out the charges written on the rice paper in his hand. Every time he read out a name, that person's face turned as pale as paper.
The ones whose names were called out were the ones who had previously cursed Yuan Zhao the most harshly.
Some people noticed something was wrong and wanted to run away, but they were all captured one by one by the officers and soldiers brought by Zhao Ping.
Everyone was dumbfounded. They were clearly here to attack Yuan Zhao, so how did they end up capturing themselves?
"You beasts! Give me back my wife and children!"
"You were the one who kidnapped my child! You raped and murdered my wife! I want you to pay with your life!"
A middle-aged man rushed out from the crowd and rushed towards Li Si with a knife.
Stopped by the officers and soldiers nearby, the middle-aged man collapsed on the ground, with the knife thrown on the ground, reflecting the despair on his face.
"Let me go! Let me kill him!"
He gritted his teeth and wished he could skin Li Si alive.
"Back then, I met Li Si and kindly rescued him, bringing him home. But he took advantage of my absence to rape and murder my wife. He also took our two-year-old child away, and her whereabouts remain unknown! But he refused to admit it. I had no evidence, no way to sue him, and he got away with it for so many years..."
The man complained tearfully, "Where did you sell my child to?!"
…
Yuan Zhao looked at the man kneeling on the ground crying.
He doesn't look very old, but he already has a head full of white hair.
He lost his child and wife overnight. I'm afraid he has been thinking about revenge for his wife all these years while never stopping looking for his child.
These people were interrogated from the couple in Heishan Village.
Among them, Li Si was the one who kidnapped Yuan Qi Yu.
During the days at the Big Buddha Temple, Huo Yan ordered his men to investigate in Yangzhou, and only then did they discover that these people had been secretly trafficking women and children in recent years.
They sold some of these women and children to Heishan Village and some to other places. Their crimes are unforgivable.
At the same time, Huo Yan's men also found out that this Li Si had been helping Bai Ruyue.
Not only was Yuan Qiyu missing, but I'm afraid Yuan Musheng's leg was also related to him.
Thinking of this, Yuan Zhao felt the same pain as the man in front of him who had lost his wife and son.
At this moment, she was also trying her best to suppress her hatred.
She wished she could inflict everything her child had suffered on these people!
At this time, several more people rushed out from the crowd.
Men and women, young and old, all of them have family members who have been lost or abducted.
They knelt before Zhao Ping and begged him to seek justice for them.
"Sir, please! Help me find my child!"
"Sir, these people deserve to die! Please avenge my wife!"
…
Zhao Ping glanced at Yuan Zhao.
At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Yuan Zhao.
The people around were shocked. Biyun, who was holding down a prisoner, had no time to react before the man rushed towards Yuan Zhao.
Yuan Zhao stood where she was, and saw the man rushing towards her. He did not attack her, but just slid down and knelt directly in front of her.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
The man slammed his head hard on the ground, and his face was covered in blood in just a few hits.
"Please, Princess, help me. I just want Li Si and his men to be brought to justice and to know the whereabouts of my child, regardless of whether he's dead or alive!"
"I only have one life left, Your Highness, please save it!"
The man really had no way out. He was just an ordinary citizen. He had reported the case to the government office in recent years, but there were many missing cases and the government office could only deal with them.
Here today, he realized that there was a princess in a small place like Yangzhou.
In his impression, the princess was the most noble person, higher than any official.
So he could only ask Yuan Zhao for help.
"Please grant me your blessing, Your Highness!"
"Please grant me your blessing, Your Highness!"
"Please grant me your blessing, Your Highness!"
…
He kowtowed every time he spoke, until his face was covered in blood.
Perhaps his sincerity moved the others, and the people who were originally standing, regardless of whether anyone in their families was missing or not, all knelt down.
Who isn’t afraid that the women and children in their family might suddenly disappear one day?
Getting lost is terrible, but being sold somewhere and being tortured is even more terrible.
But now, I didn’t expect that these criminals were hiding in the crowd and walking around like this.
Today he even made trouble when the princess was distributing porridge.
The common people knelt down and asked for severe punishment to these people in order to seek justice.
Seeing this, Zhao Ping wanted to order his men to arrest the man, but Yuan Zhao waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
She squatted down, reached out her hand to help the man up, "What's your name?"
The man stopped kowtowing, but awkwardly avoided Yuan Zhao's hand and stood up.
"Commoner Zhou Shan."
"You just said that your child was just two years old when he went missing. How old should he be now?" Yuan Zhao lowered his head and looked at him.
"Your Highness, he is five years old this year." Zhou Shan couldn't help but tear up when talking about his child.
Yuan Zhao sighed, "You must miss him very much..."
"Yes." Tears fell from the eyes of the three-foot-tall man.
After his wife passed away, he has lived until now relying on this only thought.
But till today, there is still no news from the child. He followed Li Si all the way here, ready to end it all.
If he killed Li Si, he would be free.
Yuan Zhao didn't ask him any more questions. He turned to Gan Tang and said, "Tell the eldest master to bring Qi Yu down."
