Chapter 761 The Unlucky Sister Who Was Married in Exchange (6)
“I don’t want to say it yet, it seems like you really don’t want this hand anymore…” Liu Shichu pretended to raise the sword in his hand and was about to continue chopping at his boss’s arm.
"Hero, I'll tell you! I'll tell you!" The old man shouted in a very embarrassed manner, with tears and snot all over his face.
"Old man!" The old woman was startled and tried to stop the old man. However, the old man, who was almost collapsed by the pain in his body, could not pay attention to her warning.
"Don't miss a single one. If you miss one, I'll chop off one of your limbs." Liu Shichu said cruelly, looking at the human traffickers with a sneer.
With the old man's admission, the others could no longer keep their mouths shut and had to confess their crimes one by one. Liu Shichu wrote down all their crimes and then grabbed them and made them press their bloody fingerprints. This was evidence that had to be handed over to the government and they could not be careless.
After they confessed their crimes, Liu Shichu knocked them out one by one without saying a word.
Taking advantage of the night, Liu Shichu had to quietly transport them to the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture one by one and throw them and the evidence there so that the people of Jingzhao Prefecture could find them and put them in jail as soon as possible tomorrow.
She was glad that there was no surveillance now, otherwise she would have to spend a lot of effort to transport the people to the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture. Although she was already considered an expert, she had to transport four adults in a row in one night and avoid being discovered. It was a very tiring task to go back and forth.
By the time she finished this, she was sweating all over. After resting for a while, she took off her makeup and turned back into the Liu Shichu who was careless and almost sold out because of being knocked unconscious.
By the next day, she was just an innocent woman who was saved by a chivalrous man who punished the human traffickers.
The "innocent woman" Liu Shichu woke up in the woodshed the next day and found that the door of the woodshed had been opened, and the human traffickers and their family were nowhere to be found. She was shocked and happy, and fled in a panic.
As expected, the people in Jingzhao Prefecture soon discovered several human traffickers who were tied up and thrown in front of the government office. They thought that some people were so bold as to capture innocent people to provoke the government. When they went to untie them, they found the charges against them. When they learned that they were human traffickers who had trafficked several women, they immediately lost their good looks and arrested them for interrogation.
After Liu Shichu successfully "escaped" from the wolf's den, he found a safe and comfortable inn to live in.
She knew that the people from Jingzhao Prefecture would find her soon, and she had to play the role of a lucky woman who had escaped from the clutches of human traffickers.
These two days she had to play the role of an ordinary girl who was overly frightened, paranoid and distracted.
Jingzhao Prefecture’s case handling efficiency was still very high. They found Liu Shichu in just one day.
"Miss Liu, I have something to ask you. It's about Wang Erniu and Chen Meiniang trafficking you. Please tell the truth." The leading young man said to Liu Shichu with a serious face.
Wang Erniu and Chen Meiniang were the old man and old woman who knocked Liu Shichu unconscious and wanted to abduct and sell her.
Liu Shichu lowered his head and replied stiffly, "Yes."
The young man then asked, "Please tell me in detail how you met Wang Erniu and Chen Mei Niang, and what happened to you during this period."
"I met Uncle Wang and Aunt Chen on the way to Beijing. Seeing that I was going on a long journey alone, they said they were worried about me and advised me that it would be safer for the three of us to travel together. I didn't know their evil intentions at that time, so I agreed and we traveled together all the way. Who knew that when we reached the outskirts of Beijing, Aunt Chen suddenly suggested that we take a rest before entering the city and gave me a bun. I was not on guard against them and ate the bun. Not long after eating it, I fell into a coma. It was not until Aunt Chen woke me up in a strange woodshed a few hours later that I realized that I had been knocked unconscious by them and that they wanted to abduct and sell me..."
Liu Shichu started to cry as he spoke, with fear and terror on his face, and it was obvious that he was still frightened.
"Then how did you escape?" the young man asked again.
"I, I don't know... I fell asleep again that night in a daze. When I woke up the next day, I found that the door of the woodshed was open. I seized the opportunity to escape." Liu Shichu answered softly. Her acting skills were certified by professional judges. She was not afraid of being discovered. Moreover, the criminal investigation technology was backward in that era. She erased all traces of her actions and only left that of the "kind-hearted hero". The people in the government would never have thought that she was the one who punished the human trafficker's family, so Liu Shichu was not worried about being exposed.
The young man narrowed his eyes and observed Liu Shichu's expression carefully with sharp eyes, but no matter how he looked at it, Liu Shichu's reaction was normal for a woman who was nearly abducted and escaped, so even if he felt something was wrong in his heart, he couldn't find anything wrong.
"According to Wang Erniu's family, they were caught by a tall masked man. Do you know this man? Do you know who he is?" The young man asked Liu Shichu without blinking.
Liu Shichu was flawless. He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head firmly and said, "I don't know any masked man. I just came to Beijing and I'm unfamiliar with the place. How can I know anyone?"
"Is he someone you knew before? For example, a relative or friend in your hometown?" the young man asked again. In fact, he wanted to ask Liu Shichu if he was her lover, but a woman's reputation was important, so he did not say it so directly.
"I don't know him! I seldom went out before. I just did housework and embroidery at home. My parents don't have many relatives in my hometown. I don't even have a cousin who can help. How can I meet a man?" Liu Shichu wiped the tears from her face and said sadly, "There is only one aunt in the capital, so I thought that after my parents passed away, I would come to the capital to seek refuge with her. Who knew that I would meet human traffickers before I could find anyone and was almost abducted. I was so scared that I didn't dare to leave the inn for the past two days, for fear of encountering bad people again..."
Liu Shichu choked up and shed tears while she spoke. The yamen runners who were listening nearby all showed sympathy to her. They felt that this girl was really miserable. Both her parents had passed away. She wanted to go to Beijing to live with her relatives but was almost sold. She had too many setbacks in her life...
The young man suddenly asked, "Why did you think of coming to the capital to seek refuge with your relatives? And you dare to travel so far alone?"
"I'm at my wit's end. Some thugs in my hometown saw that there was no one at home, so they wanted to seize my property and even me. I had no choice but to come to the capital to live with my relatives... If I could survive, why would I risk leaving my hometown and traveling so far away to live with my relatives?" Liu Shichu cried again, looking extremely pitiful.
