Time was of the essence, and Zhou Mingxin didn't want to waste any more time talking to County Lieutenant Li. He already knew that County Lieutenant Li had an affair with the cloth shop owner, so he decided to just drag him away for questioning.
There's no need to waste any more time arguing here.
Ningbao was very anxious because she couldn't find him. She was afraid that Ningbao was in danger and that her mother would not be able to bear the shock if she found out.
Zhou Mingxin charged into the county government office with his knife in hand. The county magistrate, Zhao Liansheng, was stunned and shouted in panic.
"Help! Help!"
Zhou Mingxin directly took out the identity token of the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion and held it up in front of Zhao Liansheng.
"Stop howling, do you know this magistrate?"
"The Prince of Zhenbei!" Zhao Liansheng broke out in a cold sweat.
"May I ask who you are, young master?"
Zhou Mingxin glanced at Zhao Liansheng indifferently.
"I am the second son of Zhou Mingxin, the Prince of Zhenbei."
"My lord, it doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that my sister, the young princess of our Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, has been lost in your Wushi County."
Just now, the person who went into the Hua Niang Cloth Shop to try on clothes disappeared.
Zhao Liansheng was stunned for a moment.
"Is it Hua Niang Cloth Shop again? But County Magistrate Li said he checked the shop and there were no problems."
"My lord, this is not the time for idle chatter. I need to take men to seal off the city gates. We can talk about the rest after we find my sister."
Although he knew Ning Bao was capable of protecting herself, Zhou Mingxin was still worried. He was in a hurry to find his sister and had no time to chat.
Since it was a princess who had been lost, Zhao Liansheng dared not delay and immediately summoned everyone in the county government to go out and search for her.
Bai Ming, who was in the inn, did not panic after learning that Ning Bao was missing. Instead, he went back to Su Jing Shu's room and made an excuse to take Ling Ling away.
On the other side, Ningbao, Lengxue, and Lengwu, three little girls, were piled up inside a large wooden box. Fortunately, the box had ventilation holes, otherwise the children might have suffocated long ago.
Leng Xue and Ning Bao slept head to head, and Leng Xue gently turned her body to try to make Ning Bao more comfortable.
"Master, should we escape?" Leng Xue asked her master, puzzled, after adjusting her posture.
Ning Bao shook her head.
“We’re not leaving. They just said there’s a group of kids like us who are going to be transported out. Since we’ve run into them, we can’t just ignore them.”
Leng Wu frowned.
"Does Master want to save people?"
But we ourselves are still locked up in this box.
Moreover, human traffickers are all very wicked. My master is still young. I think we should do this: once the carriage stops, I'll stay and rescue them, while Leng Xue takes my master and finds a chance to leave.
"Cold Mist, my martial arts are slightly better than yours. I'll stay, and you can accompany the master away..."
Seeing the two girls arguing, Ningbao helplessly patted them lightly.
"Alright, stop arguing, all of you stay here."
Since we came together, we should leave together.
Don't say I'm young. In my eyes, you two are people I need to protect. In terms of fighting ability, you are definitely not as good as me.
Rescuing people may require a clever approach; we'll act according to the circumstances.
We didn't have time to leave a message for Mingxin's brother. He must be very worried when he sees that we are lost.
I hope we don't alert Mother, otherwise I'll make sure these people suffer.
Ning Bao clenched her fists tightly as she spoke to express her anger.
The three of them were indeed not very comfortable in the dark box. Ningbao sighed softly, "Sigh! I'd better close my eyes and rest. It's so boring in the dark."
Wang Wu did not drive the carriage directly out of the city...
