After Lin Xue finished speaking, she didn't give Dong Wu a chance to react and ran into the abandoned house.
"Why?"
Dong Wu felt a sudden emptiness around him; Lin Xue was nowhere to be seen.
The person is already inside, what else can he say?
What a load of bull! Let them all go to hell!
Dong Wu leaped into the air and followed him into the inner courtyard of the abandoned house.
I could vaguely see Lin Xue enter a room.
With a loud "bang!", a dark figure was thrown out of the house.
Dong Wu immediately took out a rope from his waist and went forward to tie the man up tightly.
The man had his pants half off when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, followed by a dizzy spell. The next second, he was thrown out of the house.
By the time he came to his senses, he was already tied up!
Looking up, he saw a man in official robes standing in front of him.
With just one glance, the flower thief knew he was doomed this time.
I never imagined that after a thousand days of picking flowers, I would finally be unable to escape it today.
However, thinking about the twenty-odd young girls he had ruined, the thief felt that he hadn't lived in vain.
So he had no intention of resisting and simply lay on the ground pretending to be dead.
Inside the house, Lin Xue had already woken up the little girl. After explaining things to her, the little girl cried for a while, then gritted her teeth as if she had made a decision.
"Sister, this matter must never be known. I haven't lost my virginity to any bad man, and there's no reason for me to live my whole life bearing such a stigma!"
All the women who had been violated by the flower thief, especially those with strong personalities, had hanged themselves at home with a rope.
Those who are gentle and dare not commit suicide have to endure the scorn and insults of the world, and then marry some disabled or ugly old men.
In short, this perfectly good young woman ended up in such a state, which made the girl in front of her feel terrified just thinking about it.
This kind of victim-blaming mentality was all too common in ancient times!
"Don't worry, we won't publicize this. I've already spoken to the police officers outside, and they won't reveal your name!"
"However, if you want fewer people to know about this, you need to actively cooperate with the officials in their investigation. Judging from your well-educated and reasonable appearance, you must come from a wealthy family. If you have any connections, you can ask your family to put in a good word for you!"
"Now that this flower thief has been caught, he should definitely be executed! There's a good chance this will work!"
After comforting the girl, Lin Xue looked at her naked body and realized that she must have been kidnapped by the thief while sleeping at home.
"Wait here for a moment, I'll go find you some clothes to change into!"
Lin Xue had just finished speaking and was about to leave when the girl grabbed her arm. "Sister, I'm scared!"
"Don't be afraid, little sister. I'll be right back. Besides, that policeman outside is my friend. He won't come into the house easily!"
"If you're scared, you can talk to him through the door. He's an honest and good person; he would never take advantage of someone in distress!"
Lin Xue patted the woman's hand and then quickly left.
"Brother Dong, that woman is frightened. I'll go find her some clothes to change into. You stay at the door and don't go in yet!"
Lin Xue's voice was loud enough for both people inside and outside the house to hear clearly, but not enough for passersby outside the courtyard to hear.
Even though it's the middle of the night, there's no one wandering around outside.
Lin Xue flew directly from the wall to the roof, then with a burst of spiritual energy, she quickly disappeared from Dong Wu's sight.
"Madam Lin is truly a heroine! Her lightness skill is unmatched even by many in our prefectural government!"
Watching Lin Xue's disappearing figure, Dong Wu finally couldn't help but admire her and exclaimed in admiration!
"The two didn't have to wait long; Lin Xue returned in no more than five minutes with a small bundle in her arms!"
"Come here, little sister, these clothes of mine were just made and haven't been worn yet. Hurry up and change into them!"
Lin Xue went back to her own courtyard to get the clothes. She specifically chose a new dress that she had just bought during the day, but it was a pity that she had never worn it.
However, considering the little girl's situation, Lin Xue felt no reluctance.
After the girl changed her clothes and came out of the house, Lin Xue and Dong Wu both turned to look at the door.
"it's beautiful!"
Compared to Dong Wu's expressionless face, Lin Xue couldn't help but sigh.
"elder sister!"
As soon as the little girl came out, she grabbed Lin Xue's sleeve and hid behind her.
"Let's go back first!"
"Brother Dong, I'll take the girl to my place first, and then you can bring two officials over to take a statement!"
"Remember, don't make a big fuss about this. Come quietly!"
Lin Xue knew that according to the normal procedure, this young girl was supposed to go to the yamen with Dong Wu to make a record.
But Dong Wu isn't one of our own, so it's not a bad thing to relax a little.
Although this seems a bit against the rules.
"Madam Lin, I'll take the prisoner back first. I'll bring two of my buddies over later to take his statement. Please keep a close eye on this woman!"
This is a witness; if the witness gets away, they might run into some trouble.
"Don't worry, I won't run away! I will fully cooperate with the officers' investigation!"
The woman knew this was the procedure, and she was already very fortunate to avoid going to the government office.
"That's good! You should know how much trouble you would cause Mrs. Lin if you ran away!"
