Qin San Niang? That vixen!
They both blurted out at the same time! But after looking around, they couldn't see a single person in sight!
Chen Guang'an, his eyes wide with terror, lifted the curtain of the donkey cart and froze, staring at the empty carriage.
Boss Qiu immediately understood everything!
"Come on, Guang'an, let's escape quickly! Head into the woods! Even if that woman saves the child, she can't carry them all. It's safest for us to escape into the woods!"
Chen Guang'an, however, thought it would be safer to stay by Zheng Mazi's side. Of course, he asked the same question, and Boss Qiu slapped his forehead, saying anxiously,
"Are you stupid? That witch poisoned us, she left a backup plan, maybe she's planning to wipe them all out! We don't even know why we weren't poisoned, why don't we take this opportunity to escape, or are we waiting for her to catch us?"
It must be said that, compared to Chen Guang'an, Qiu Lao lived a few more years and was indeed quite intelligent, able to quickly grasp the essence and key points of a matter.
Chen Guang'an didn't care anymore. Just thinking about how Qin San Niang would be furious if she knew that they had kidnapped her child, and how painful that would be!
No, given that witch's methods, she could easily kill them all!
Qin San Niang smiled and watched the clown jumping around from the tree above their heads!
However, there are ultimately things that are beyond our control.
In the distance, a group of people approached, their torches casting flickering shadows. Qin San Niang wondered, who were they?
Thinking of the children in those three carriages, she decided to save them all the way. Perhaps their parents and relatives were also suffering from the pain of separation.
Judging from the distance of that group, it would only take about ten minutes to get here. Qin San Niang slid down the tree, let Xiao Bai out, whispered something to him, and then let Xiao Bai chase after the donkey cart! Xiao Bai is a wolfhound that grew up drinking space water, so its tracking ability is superb!
Turning around, Qin San Niang disappeared into the darkness.
All three carriages were quiet. Qin San Niang glanced around; the first two carriages were filled with young women, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with delicate features. The last carriage was filled with children, about the same age as A Nan and Xiao Er.
Without exception, everyone had been drugged and would likely not wake up even if an earthquake occurred outside.
It's impossible to wake them all up. Even if they did, Qin San Niang knew she didn't have the ability to keep so many people in check!
He simply waved his hand and put them all into his spatial storage, letting them sleep there. He would bring them to Jiangzhou City the next day and leave them at the county government office. There, the officials would naturally send them home, or if not, the government would send them to a charity.
She had seen a charity hall in Jiangzhou, which was said to have been set up with funds from the Wang family of Jiangzhou. The head of the Wang family was an upright person, so the fate of these children should have been much better than it is now!
After doing all this, a man exclaimed in surprise, discovering that the people in the carriage were missing. The man called Lao Qi was also clutching his stomach, reporting to Zheng Mazi.
"Boss, Boss Qiu and his brother surnamed Chen are gone! Their donkey cart is gone too! Our goods have vanished into thin air! We've been tricked!"
After saying that, she clutched her stomach and cried out in pain, then rushed to the toilet to relieve her diarrhea. If this continued, she was sure to have her intestines spill out.
At this moment, Zheng Mazi stood there, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, his expression furious. Only the pain in his abdomen made it impossible for him to stand any longer, so he leaned against the cart shaft to rest for a while, his heart roaring with rage.
"Brother Qiu, you bastard, don't let me run into you, or I'll skin you alive!!"
However, his most pressing concerns at this moment were finding the whereabouts of the goods and dealing with the poisoning. The thought of his master's methods sent chills down his spine, but he had to get back alive first. What if Boss Qiu had other tricks up his sleeve?
"Boss, something bad has happened! A squad of soldiers is coming! What should we do?"
Zheng Mazi cursed, looking at his rout-stricken troops, when suddenly an idea struck him.
"What's the panic? We're just merchants passing through, on our way to Jiangzhou Wharf to do business!"
"But boss, we were supposed to be delivering goods..."
"Idiot! How could you be so stupid?! Where's the cargo? Where's our cargo? The truck is empty now, what can those soldiers do to us?" Zheng Mazi shouted angrily, but his stomach hurt even more.
Thinking of those goods, he felt nothing but heartache and regret! He really shouldn't have agreed to Boss Qiu's request to join the group; you can't trust people whose background you don't know!
However, it's laughable that losing the goods allowed them to escape the government's wrath! But if they hadn't been so careless, they wouldn't have stopped here to rest, and how could the government have caught up with them then?
Wait, why are government officials here?
Obviously, Lao Qi had also thought of this problem, and said, "Boss, I think that Boss Qiu wants to kill two birds with one stone. First, he will intercept our goods, and at the same time, he will have someone report to the authorities and have us arrested. In this way, they can make a fortune without having to worry about being hunted down."
However, his greed was insatiable, and he took all the goods with him. Now the authorities have no solid evidence, so how can they convict us?
In his eyes, Qiu Laoda and Chen Guang'an were just clowns, nothing more than peasants, incapable of devising a perfect scheme!
Normally, he was Zheng Mazi's trusted strategist and held considerable prestige within the group.
After his analysis, Zheng Mazi also felt that it made sense. In the short time it took to catch his breath, the group of people had arrived in front of him.
At this moment, Qin San Niang had already blended into the group and found Gu Qingshan and He Yingyuan.
Fortunately, she took a look through her binoculars before leaving. The people in the constable's uniforms looked somewhat familiar, but the people behind them were even more familiar—it was Gu Qingshan and his group!
Could it be that they also found a clue? Considering He Yingyuan's intelligence, it's not impossible!
On second thought, if I rescued all those women and children, wouldn't that let the bad guys escape? That's absolutely unacceptable!
So she dressed in men's clothing, walked up to He Yingyuan and the others, and told them that the children were out of danger and that the carriages were full of kidnapped women and children.
He Yingyuan was also somewhat shocked when he saw her, but he quickly calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief knowing that the children were safe.
Although he believed in Qin San Niang's abilities, he never expected that she would be able to track them here, and even arrive earlier than them!
