Xia Daohua didn't feel cold either. She went back to the outside of the farm and carefully checked every inch from the gate to the inside.
In order to avoid missing anything, she also took out an infrared thermal imaging device from the space and searched the entire farm, even every room, including the woodshed and the warehouse.
After a careful investigation, they only found the corpses of several dogs raised on the farm, which had been frozen stiff.
These dogs have been specially trained and will never eat food given by outsiders.
It seems that there is a traitor in this village?
I just don't know where this traitor came from.
Was it that among the homeless people taken in by Puji Rescue, some shallow-minded person had been bribed? Or was it that a traitor had appeared among Wei Shiqi's men? Or perhaps it was the farmers who had originally farmed here?
Xia Daohua looked at the farmer's house in the distance and walked over.
There weren't many farmers in the village originally, but some left later, following their original owners. Xia Daohua assigned the remaining few farmers light and heavy work to ensure their income.
Logically speaking, these people should not have any resentment towards their new master who rarely shows up.
However, if those who were taken in could be bribed, it would not be surprising if these farmers were bribed. Even Wei Shiqi's subordinates might be bribed.
Xia Daohua thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out which side had the problem.
But no matter who it is, the most urgent task now is to rescue the person as soon as possible.
Most of the people taken in by Puji Rescue were homeless women, and many of them were children. These people were precisely the main commodities in the human trafficking.
Xia Daohua saved these people, saved them from a tragic fate, and allowed them to live a human life, not to be used as commodities for anyone!
Xia Daohua was really angry.
What she disliked most was that in this time and space, like many dynasties in history, human trafficking was actually legal.
Xia Daohua had previously considered this a bad practice, simply refusing to buy people. She hadn't considered changing the system. But now, looking at the empty farm, her thoughts turned involuntarily to this question: if human trafficking were abolished at its root, could it be eradicated?
However, how easy is it to abolish human trafficking?
Xia Daohua forced herself to pull back her thoughts. If she wanted to know where these people had gone, she might have to look to the old beggar who had informed her.
Or, try your luck at a few suspicious homes.
Xia Daohua closed the door of the farm, took out the small electric scooter that had not been used for a long time, and rode it across the bumpy dirt roads.
Fortunately, it was winter and the ground was frozen hard, making the originally difficult country roads much easier to walk on.
The first place Xia Daohua went to was Murong's house.
If there is any force that he has openly offended and still has the ability to retaliate against him, the one closest to him should be the Murong family.
Someone from the Murong family coveted his shop, but he had publicly punished the doorman, which was a slap in the face of the Murong family. It would be reasonable for them to retaliate.
What's more, Li Gan's life or death is uncertain now. Even if they bullied him, occupied his shop, and sold his people, when Li Gan came back, would he still fight them for "a female manager"?
Or in other words, they have actually obtained news about Li Gan from certain channels?
When Xia Daohua thought of this possibility, she suddenly felt even more anxious - if they got news about Li Gan and then attacked their own people, wouldn't it mean that something really happened to Li Gan?
Xia Daohua rode her electric scooter to Murong's house in a swift and decisive manner, and then she and the electric scooter disappeared out of thin air on the spot.
Not to mention it was too early, there was no one around.
Even if it's really unfortunate and someone with particularly bad luck sees me, they definitely won't recognize me.
Xia Daohua hid in the space and passed through the wall into Murong's yard. Because she was anxious, she used more strength and manipulated the space too quickly, and almost bumped into the screen wall at the gate.
Fortunately, when she was in the space, even if she really collided with something, it would have no effect on each other and it was impossible for her to get hurt.
But the sudden feeling of watching herself ram into a wall still scared her.
After this scare, her anger subsided a little.
Even if the Murong family was really responsible for this, he couldn't rush to empty the Murong family's mansion. Otherwise, combined with what happened at County Magistrate Xie's house last time, his ability would become known to everyone.
But if this was really done by their family, don't expect to let it go so easily!
Xia Daohua walked along the cobblestone path, bypassed the screen wall, passed through the flowers and trees covered with rime, and walked through the winding corridor. As she walked, she heard a somewhat shrill female voice, lecturing people in a condescending tone:
"You're relying on the Third Madam's generosity, and you're so lazy! You're still quibbling after being caught by me! What? You're relying on the young master's laziness, and you don't take the Third Madam seriously?
If you continue to work so carelessly, Nanny Song will kick you out without you even having to report back to the Madam!"
Xia Daohua listened and observed again, and found that it was a senior maid with a stern look on her face who was teaching a little girl with a round face a lesson.
The little girl bit her lips and was about to cry out of grievance, but the maidservant kept on talking, and her hand with long nails kept poking and poking the little girl's forehead, leaving several red marks.
Xia Daohua looked at the little girl and felt that her appearance and demeanor were somewhat similar to Linghua's when she was wronged. She could not help but pause for a moment, then heard the older maid finally stop to take a breath and continue scolding:
"You silly girl, don't think that I'm targeting you! If I didn't have a good relationship with your second sister, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you!
People like you who can't tell the difference between right and wrong, who don't know who is the boss, and who lose their way when others say a few nice words to them, I say you should be sold out as soon as possible!
It will also save your second sister from getting into trouble!"
The little girl finally couldn't hold it in any longer and started sobbing.
The maid stomped her feet in frustration and poked her twice:
"Alright, alright, stop wiping your tears, or you'll attract the wolves!
You don't need to look for anyone else to tell you what I'm going to say today. Just follow your second sister and learn it from beginning to end. Listen to what she says!"
