The Meng family searched Sanshan Village from top to bottom, but there was no trace of the two children. Three of the family members died - Chen, Leng Yingshuang and Shu.
If Ji hadn't seen her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and daughter-in-law all fall down, she would have fallen down too.
The Meng family now only has three generations of ancestors, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Meng Lihou, Dr. Zhou's daughter-in-law Ruan, and Xiu'er, mother and daughter, helping to take care of the three people who fainted.
Zhou Chuanbai and Meng Lihou both felt guilty, blaming themselves for going to the bathroom.
"alright.
You two didn't expect it, it's not your fault.
The bad guys are so bad!"
Xiu'er also wanted to help find the child, but the people who went out were all men and they ran fast, so she didn't agree.
If something happens to her when she goes out as a girl, she is afraid that no one will take care of her.
Meng Shuyan and Meng Liqian are the apple of the family's eye, and everyone is anxious and angry.
Meng Shijie's mouth was covered with blisters, caused by his anxiety.
As soon as he came back, he heard that his daughter and eldest nephew had been kidnapped. He unloaded the cart and rode back to the provincial capital alone to report to the authorities.
Mr. Meng and Meng Shichang took their three sons, and Doctor Zhou took his two sons and Wang Liangli. They were all outside looking for their children and had not returned.
Officer Li, invited by Meng Shijie, directly investigated around Sanshan Village and questioned the two children of Village Chief Yang.
"Our child is still young and doesn't know anything. Aren't you trying to embarrass him, Mr. Cha?"
The two grandsons of Village Chief Yang returned home crying.
The village chief's daughter-in-law almost ran to the Meng family to quarrel. As soon as she arrived in the village, she bullied her son and made him cry!
Fortunately, the village chief asked why they were crying, and the two children stammered and told him what happened.
When the Yang family heard this, they immediately ordered the two children that if anyone asked, they must not say that they were the ones who untied the cow rope.
In the meantime, the Meng and Zhou families came to ask the two children, and the two children shook their heads firmly.
They said they only saw the ox cart being pulled away by someone, and then the children in the two carts were taken away by a man in black clothes, and they knew nothing else.
This time Officer Li came to ask again, and Village Chief Yang was somewhat unhappy.
These new families were quite capable and actually invited Officer Li to come again.
Humph! So what?
A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake!
“I don’t mean anything else.
I just want you to ask your children again. Maybe your children saw something and forgot to tell us.
Those are two children. If anything happens to them, you, as the village chief, will be derelict in your duty."
Officer Li looked at Village Chief Yang intently.
He didn't know that Village Chief Yang and his brother's family were bullying the new families.
Brother Meng told him everything, otherwise why would he come again?
Just when I'm free.
If the child hadn't been lost, I would have settled the score with him.
The most important thing right now is to find the child.
We’ll talk about dividing the land after we find the child.
“It’s really gone.
Our two grandsons were so frightened after seeing that scene that they came back and cried for a long time. They will have to call their souls back tonight."
Village chief Yang was so cunning that Officer Li was helpless.
Finally, Officer Li looked in the direction of the oxcart wheel marks.
Chang Zhifu, the prefect of Luzhou, who was just about to have lunch, saw Meng Shijie, who had just come at noon and taken away the officer Li, coming again. He instinctively felt that something big was about to happen.
When Meng Shijie got closer, he was surprised to find that his mouth was full of blisters.
It’s only been less than two hours, how did this happen?
The feeling that something big was happening was even stronger.
"Sir, help me!
My youngest daughter and nephew were abducted by human traffickers!
Please send someone to search quickly!
The younger mother, daughter-in-law and elder sister-in-law were all unconscious because their child was lost.
That child is the life of our entire family, adults... "
As Meng Shijie was speaking, he couldn't hold back his tears anymore and burst into tears like a grown man.
When Governor Chang heard about human traffickers, he had no appetite for food.
"Don't cry first, tell me what happened."
Meng Shijie knew that if he didn't explain clearly, the prefect would not send anyone, so he forced himself to calm down and repeat everything he heard Zhou Chuanbai say, word for word.
Zhou Chuanbai was small in stature, but he was a doctor. He could recite recipes and write the names of medicinal materials, and he had a strong ability to express himself.
After hearing this, Prefect Chang immediately sent most of the officials from the government office to Sanshan Village to look for the child.
“Go find it quickly!
The child must be found!"
"yes!"
It is such a shame that there are human traffickers in the area under his jurisdiction!
If the emperor knew about this, he might even lose his official position.
Especially in this special period when the whole country is short of people.
Even if it's just a baby girl, she's still a treasure!
There are actually human traffickers!
He also notified the soldiers guarding the city that anyone entering or leaving the city must be strictly checked and no one should be let off.
Meng Shijie really didn't expect that Prefect Chang would take it so seriously. He felt a little relieved and hurried back to find his daughter.
The horse's butt was whipped with several ridges, and it ran so fast that it was foaming at the mouth when it got home.
At this time, Chen, Leng Yingshuang and Shu were all awake.
They also wanted to go look for the child, but were persuaded by Ruan and Xiu'er's mother.
If something happens to them outside, the family will be in even greater chaos.
In the end, it was Chen who nodded, and none of the three of them were allowed to go.
Seeing Meng Shijie coming back, they all looked at him with hope.
"The prefect has sent dozens of runners, who will be here soon.
The city gates were also being checked. I came back on horseback first and went to look for it on the mountain.
