Mentioning the spirited horse brought a touch of sorrow to both of them. The situation was truly dire, and they had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure: slapping the horse's rump to make it run and attract the attention of some of the traffickers so that they could break through one by one.
Yun Ruochun was very upset. Although they had only spent one night together, she had already developed a deep affection for the horse. Without the horse, there would be no them.
Yun Ruochun did not respond to Yun Ling's words, but instead vented all her hatred on the group of beasts-like human traffickers beside her, whipping them mercilessly, one lash after another, eliciting screams from the crowd.
The carriage slowly headed towards Pingcheng. When they were still a short distance away from Pingcheng, a figure caught the attention of Yunling and Yunruochun.
That tall figure with its tail raised could only be a horse.
The two didn't need to look at the markings on its legs to know that it was...
0846!
Yun Ling and Yun Ruochun were overjoyed. 0846 also scurried over to Yun Ruochun's side and showered Lao Si and the others with a long, loud compliment to vent his anger.
It was in great danger at the time. Although it ran fast, it was not as cunning as the people behind it. They threw knives at it one after another. Fortunately, it ran into the woods in time and escaped the disaster under the cover of night.
0846!
"0846~"
"0846, 0846, 0846~~~"
Amidst these shouts, the crowd entered Pingcheng. Upon hearing that they were human traffickers, the yamen runners guarding the city gate rushed back to the county government to report.
Qin Yu, who was racking his brains about how to plan the capture of the human traffickers, immediately thought of Yun Ruochun when he heard that the traffickers had been caught, and by two young women no less. He slammed his fist on the table in excitement.
However, due to excessive excitement, the chopping board was slammed down, and the protruding end hit Master Qin's chin. Master Qin leaned back completely, forgetting that there was nothing behind him to stop him, and fell straight backward.
But after waiting for a while, the culprit still didn't come to help him up. When he turned his head, there was no sign of him anywhere. He was so angry that his eyes turned green.
"You little brat, you've already forgotten your own father before you've even gotten a wife. Just wait and see how I'll trip you up and make you marry someone else."
Master Qin stood up from the ground, brushed the dust off his clothes, snorted angrily, and walked out with his hands behind his back.
But as soon as they saw Yun Ruochun and the many human traffickers she brought back, their attitude completely changed. This girl is so pretty and capable; it must be a blessing that the brat earned by eating excrement in his past life. She must marry into another family.
Yunling and Yun Ruochun never expected that so many people would be standing in front of the county government office. Some of them were the family members of the abducted young woman, who came to the county government office with mournful faces to ask for justice. Most of them had come to watch the excitement after hearing that the human traffickers had been caught.
"Auntie, come here."
Yun Ruochun had never seen such a large scene before and was a little scared, but the thought of bringing these human traffickers to justice and giving those innocent young women justice gave her courage.
She leaped down from the carriage, led the group of traffickers forward, and looked at Master Qin, who was dressed in official robes.
"There were a total of eighteen human traffickers, whose hideout was located in a village outside the city. They were all wiped out by us, and the young ladies we rescued are all sitting in the carriage. We beg you, sir, to give these innocent people justice and to prove the will of the people."
Master Qin nodded repeatedly, but just as he was about to speak, a different voice rang out, expressing doubt about Yun Ruochun's words.
"They wiped them out? You can't be talking about just those two delicate young ladies, two against eighteen strong men. Even the jokes at Shengfu Restaurant wouldn't dare to make up something like that."
"You've hit the nail on the head. Just focus on catching the human traffickers. What are you bragging about? Are you trying to steal someone else's credit without putting in any effort?"
"You know what, if we don't show off after getting such a great deal, how will we get the reward from the county magistrate? He might be waiting right here."
"..."
Yun Ruochun was completely unaffected by the whispers. Yun Ling simply jumped off the carriage, opened the door, and let the young ladies inside come out.
Those who had been waiting outside the county government office for justice, upon seeing their daughters alight from the carriage clean and tidy, had no other thoughts but rushed forward to embrace them, reveling in the joy of their reunion.
"Father, Mother, they are the ones who saved us."
"Yes, it was them. It was this older sister who, without fear of danger, single-handedly knocked the human trafficker to the ground."
"Big sister is not delicate at all. She is a very kind person. She is ruthless when dealing with human traffickers, but she is very gentle with us. She is a great person."
"..."
These words from the rescued young women were undoubtedly the best slap in the face. Those who had been whispering earlier immediately felt their faces burning and could no longer utter a word.
The parents of the rescued young women looked at Yun Ruochun with eyes full of gratitude. They stepped forward one by one to express their thanks to Yun Ruochun, and their enthusiasm made Yun Ruochun feel a little overwhelmed.
"Your Excellency, you must reward this great contributor. Don't let her down."
"Amazing, absolutely amazing. One person alone managed to take down the entire human traffickers' hideout. I can't think of any other word to describe it but 'amazing'."
"I think it's lucky that we have such a righteous young lady in our area. I think she's no less capable than any man."
“With such strength, I think she could easily become a female constable. County magistrate, you should take this young lady into the county office as a female constable. With her protecting us, we common people can live in peace.”
"..."
Yunling noticed that the wind was drifting further and further away, especially when it directly mentioned the title "female constable." She sensed something was wrong and looked towards the source, where she saw Qin Yu standing among them. Sure enough, this guy really knows how to play the game.
Master Qin was already satisfied with Yun Ruochun, and seeing that everyone was in high spirits and there were no dissenting voices, he nodded and said:
"Catching human traffickers is never an easy and long-term task. I greatly admire your courage and ability to wipe out the traffickers' den in one go. Although you are a woman, you are no less courageous and spirited than any man. I would like to invite you to work as a constable in the yamen. Would you be willing?"
Yun Ruochun was completely stunned.
At first, she was just listening to Yunling's words and thought those human traffickers were despicable. She was only thinking about rescuing the young lady. How could she become a constable?
