Shen Huaixu's expression remained unchanged. "How long have you been doing this business?"
The woman thought Shen Huaixu was talking about the business of helping Shangguan Yi eliminate disasters. She waved her hands repeatedly, "We just met the young master of the Zhenyuan Marquis family. This is the first time we've worked for him, and you caught us red-handed..."
"I mean, the human trafficking thing."
Outside the carriage, the two secret guards Chao Hua had sent to look for someone had already found their answer: "My Lady, there is a secret room under the house with many children imprisoned there. They are afraid of us, so we dare not act rashly."
Chaohua's eyes lit up. He didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain. "What are you waiting for? Come with me to save people!"
Xiaoman hurriedly said, "Princess, the secret room is filled with turbid air. It is better for me to go there first."
"Okay, you two follow Miss Xiaoman to save people!"
"yes!"
Inside the carriage, the woman had already begun to shiver. Ever since she had a headache, the pain had been like a blunt knife pulling at her flesh, lingering and endless, the only difference being that it was sometimes lighter and sometimes heavier.
She said vaguely: "It's been a few years..."
"several years?"
"Five, five, six years."
"Has Shangguan Yi ever covered up for you?"
"Knowing and not reporting... does that count?"
Chen Huaixu didn't ask any more questions, but just said, "Does the guy holding the whip outside know who he is?"
The woman shook her head blankly.
"Prince Yan's daughter, Princess Chaohua. You're unlucky to have offended the wrong person. Once you're in jail, you'd better confess honestly and try to get leniency. Don't even think Shangguan Yi can find a way to save you. With all the evidence, it's too late for him to protect himself."
After saying that, Shen Huaixu got off the carriage.
The woman shivered and sat down.
The three men outside were exhausted, and several grown men were lying on the ground in all directions. Shen Huaixu's face was full of regret, "Why didn't you wait for me?"
Jiang Wei got carried away and whipped a few times. Now she felt the whip in her hand was a little hot. After all, it was her first time, so she was inevitably nervous. She handed it to Shen Huaixu and said, "Little sister, this is for you."
Liu Ye'er looked at the motionless people, squatted down and felt their breath, and only when she felt breathing did she stand up and pat her chest.
"Ah Xu, please be gentle."
Shen Huaixu took it, thought about it and didn't make a move, "I don't know how to use my hands lightly, it would be bad if I beat someone to death."
Chaohua: "...you are a little girl, be more ladylike."
The person lying on the ground: ...They have something to say about this.
After waiting for a while, Xiaoman came out of the house with some children. There were about a dozen of them in total.
The girls were generally around eleven or twelve years old, with a few being older. Most of them were spoiled just by looking at their attire.
The boys were still young, and some of them burst into tears as soon as they walked out of the yard and saw the people in the yard.
Shen Huaixu walked over and asked the girls, "Do you all remember how you were brought here?"
Seeing that Shen Huaixu was the same age as them, they became a little bolder. "Someone covered me with a smelly handkerchief, and then I felt dazed and confused and ended up here..."
"I woke up from a nap and here I am!"
…
After listening to this, Shen Huaixu found some medicinal powder from this group of people and planned to go back and study it.
When the government officials arrived, they had only heard that a gang of human traffickers had been apprehended. But when they saw the situation in the courtyard, their scalps nearly exploded. Aren't they kidnapping people? And this, this, this... why were so many people dead?
Seeing they didn't move, Chao Hua urged, "What are you looking at? Put them in jail and ask them how many children they've harmed!"
"Princess Junjun!" The leader saw Chaohua's appearance clearly and knelt down straight.
"Why is there a stutterer..." Chaohua muttered.
Chen Huaixu pointed at the human traffickers on the ground and said, "They wanted to kidnap Princess Chaohua and this county lady. Luckily, we woke up in time. These villains tried to stop us and wouldn't let us go. We had to fight to the death to subdue them. It's not entirely our fault that they ended up like this.
The person is still alive, so I leave it to you. As for the children, find their families and send them home."
The leader couldn't say anything else and just kept nodding his head. He thought to himself, what kind of evil are these people? They are all people who are not easy to deal with.
After handing the person over to the yamen, they borrowed the traffickers' carriage and went home.
On the way back, Jiang Wei said excitedly, "I didn't expect that I could save so many people in one trip. This trip was worth it!"
Chaohua agreed, "Yeah, these kidnappers are really despicable. They kidnap other people's children and they're not afraid of retribution!"
"Can we be considered as ridding the people of harm?"
"Of course not!"
Amidst the laughter and joy, the bright moonlight became even brighter.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chen Huaixu saw Chaohua and his relatives off, and accompanied them all the way to the Shili Pavilion outside the city gate.
She thought of the red eyes of her father and sisters and Chaohua's reluctant expression, and a moment of melancholy flashed through her heart.
Look up at the rising sun, they will see each other again next year!
When she returned to the city gate, Shen Huaixu saw a figure standing at the gate from afar. She patted the black pony under her, signaling it to go faster.
When she reached the city gate, she dismounted and approached the man. "Dad, didn't you say you had something else to deal with?"
Seeing that his little daughter didn't look sad, Shen Su couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.
As a father, he did not think his daughter was cold-blooded. It was just that his daughter was only ten years old. He thought that at such an age, she did not need to hide her mood, especially in front of him. However, after observation, he found that his daughter did not hide her mood. Her bad mood was only slightly up and down, unlike other children who would cry and make a fuss.
