Chapter 431 Salted Fish's Grand Ambition

Jian Ruonan was turning over the melon field while asking, "What's your grandson's name? When and where was he lost? How long has he been missing?"

At first, Mrs. Chen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. When Jian Ruonan agreed to help find the person, she calmed down and replied calmly, "My grandson's nickname is Tangdou. He is five and a half years old this year. Today, Chenchu ​​went to Tianshui Temple with his mother to burn incense. He got lost in the market near Tianshui Temple."

[Oh my! He was kidnapped!]

Mrs. Chen: "I don't know where he was kidnapped to. Is he hurt?"

[The kidnapper placed the child in a courtyard on the outskirts of the city. He is safe for the time being. 】

Mrs. Chen sighed, "I am finally relieved."

Jian Ruonan raised her head and asked, "What are you relieved about?"

[Didn't the child fall out? You were so anxious just now, but now you are relieved? 】

Mrs. Chen said calmly, "What I mean is that since the young lady has taken action, I believe my grandson will be safe, so I am relieved."

Jian Ruonan: "Go, call Commander Xue, bring my daughter army, and go out of the city to rescue your grandson!"

......

Jane Ruonan has always had zero tolerance for kidnappers. As soon as she gave an order, Commander Xue brought a hundred elite soldiers and rushed over upon hearing the news.

Jian Ruonan ordered: "There is a house two miles southwest of Tianshui Temple. All the kidnapped women and children are locked up inside. Catch all the kidnappers!"

"One of them is a five-and-a-half-year-old boy named Tangdou. He is the grandson of Adjutant Chen. Take special care of him!"

"Yes!" Captain Xue asked for the location and immediately rushed to rescue him.

Jian Ruonan followed behind with Mrs. Chen and her daughter Xianshu in a carriage.

When a child is lost, the parents would be very anxious. Jian Ruonan only saw Mrs. Chen's children, but not her son-in-law. She asked curiously, "Where is your son-in-law?"

Mrs. Chen said, "I have only one daughter in my family. She has been following the young lady for many years and has also bought some businesses. I wanted to recruit a live-in son-in-law. The live-in son-in-law is a good person and is very loving

to my daughter. He suddenly disappeared a few years ago and there is no news. I have been looking for him for a long time but still can't find him." Jian Ruonan: "Then I will find your son-in-law for you after I save your grandson."

"Thank you, young lady, for your mercy!" Mrs. Chen and her daughter were overjoyed and immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

Captain Xue led a hundred elite soldiers and directly surrounded the house that Jian Ruonan mentioned. Not even a fly escaped.

By the time Jian Ruonan arrived at the scene in a carriage, all the kidnappers had been tied up and thrown on the ground.

Tangdou was held in the arms of Captain Xue, eating candy obediently. When he saw Mrs. Chen, he called her "Grandma" in a baby voice and stretched out his hands for a hug. The

daughter soldiers were holding a child each and coaxing them. When Jian Ruonan came over, she saw the daughter soldiers coaxing the child.

At last count, there were six boys and three girls who were kidnapped, as well as several teenage girls and young women who were deceived.

Jian Ruonan: "According to the laws of Daxia, how should these kidnappers be dealt with?"

Commander Xue said: "Behead or hang. Local officials who conceal the truth or accept bribes will also be punished."

Hearing "behead", Jian Ruonan nodded. She didn't expect that the punishment for kidnappers in ancient times was so severe.

Nowadays, there is no death penalty for human traffickers because people are afraid that they will be desperate and kill the kidnapped children. In ancient times, kidnappers were severely punished to deter such crimes. The purpose is different, so the severity of the punishment is different.

Jian Ruonan asked people to drag the human traffickers away and hand them over to the officials, and then arranged for people to help these kidnapped children find their families.

After giving all the instructions, Commander Xue asked, "General, what should we do with the two remaining human traffickers?"

The kidnappers were easy to deal with, as they could be caught on the spot and tied up and left for punishment. The two human traffickers were difficult to deal with. They had official documents on them and claimed that they were tricked. When

the human traffickers saw Jian Ruonan, they shouted, "Sir, this is unjust. I am a regular trafficker. I didn't know these children were kidnapped! We were also tricked!"

After searching in the melon field, Jian Ruonan found that the two human traffickers were indeed tricked, but her face turned cold.

These two human traffickers specialize in buying young children for some dignitaries with special fetishes. Some wealthy people who are sick and need children's internal organs as medicine also buy people from them... Daxia's economy is getting better and better, and ordinary people can eat well. There are fewer people selling their children, so they can't buy people and are deceived.

Such human traffickers are actually legal... Seeing this, Jian Ruonan couldn't help but tremble all over.

Captain Xue: "General, what should we do about this?"

Jian Ruonan: "Send these two human traffickers to be beheaded as kidnappers!"

~

A few days ago, Jian Ruonan compiled a new law, which detailed that those who molest women and children will be sentenced to imprisonment. After the law was promulgated, there was no major opposition, and Jian Ruonan was happy.

Little did she know that such a law could not protect the rights of ordinary people at all, and it was simply meaningless for those slaves who signed the indenture.

Jian Ruonan felt a palpitation when she thought about those lively and cute children falling into the hands of perverts.

"Since everyone wants to break the law and disrupt discipline, don't blame me for taking action!"

~

There are several book boys about ten years old and with delicate looks in Master Xu's study.

On this day, the matchmaker sent another little book boy. The little book boy has delicate features, is no more than seven years old, and is thin. He was sold by his own parents.

Mr. Xu was a very kind man. Not only did he teach his servant boy to read, but he also released him when he was old enough to restore his status as a good official. Poor families all vied to sell their sons to the Xu family to be servant boys.

But Mr. Xu had high standards and liked boys with delicate faces. Once the voice changed, he would not want them anymore.

That night, Mr. Xu received a letter:

The letter described his behavior of molesting young children, asked him to stop the abuse, and gave him a chance to correct his behavior. If he did not correct his behavior, righteous people would execute them on the spot.

Signed: Rich Woman.

Rich Woman was the nickname Jian Ruonan gave herself.

To travel the world, one must have a reputation of his own.

Mr. Xu received the letter and laughed it off. That night, he asked the servant boy to serve him with writing materials.

Outside the study, Jian Ruonan covered her face and hid behind a tree holding the imperial sword.

Commander Xue brought two elite soldiers, covered their faces, and waited for orders.

Jian Ruonan glanced at Tan Tai Mo, who was also covering his face, and said, "Why did you follow me?"

Tan Tai Mo said calmly, "The wife follows the husband."

Jian Ruonan: "..."

"Do you know why I came here today?"

Even in the dark, the light in Tan Tai Mo's eyes could not be ignored: "I don't need to know."

"No matter what you do, I support you."

Jian Ruonan: "..."

"I'm not here to watch the show today."

She wanted to say that she was here to enforce justice, but she took the words back when they came to her lips.

"I have a lot of shortcomings." Jian Ruonan pursed her lips and continued, "I am also a bit willful and reckless."

Jian Ruonan is not stupid. She has always known that Tan Tai Mo has been following her for so many years.

She just pretended to be stupid and didn't respond.

She is a hedonist. She doesn't want to be responsible for anyone except herself.

Since some force majeure has tied them together, she wants the other party to see her true nature clearly.

I don't know if the other party will still be so persistent after seeing it clearly.

Tan Tai Mo said without hesitation: "You have no shortcomings."

"You are not willful either."
