Tian Yu smiled and explained, "This wasn't a coincidence. I was afraid they would come running, and I had already planned to have Tangyuan and Xiaoju go find Li Xingyun first."
"If I weren't at the clinic today, how would you have handled this?"
“Even if you’re not here, Li Xingyun will find a way, don’t worry, everything will be fine,” Tian Yu said with a smile.
"It's okay. But what about just now? What would you have done if I had arrived a moment later?"
"Didn't you arrive?"
"you!"
"Alright, look how scared you've made these kids." Tian Yu really didn't know how to answer, so she quickly changed the subject. She ran up to the children and said...
Tian Yu looked at the children huddled in the corner. They were all thin and dirty, with only their big eyes looking at her with fear. Tian Yu squatted down and looked at them, saying, "It's alright, children. They won't bully you anymore."
"Which lady was the one who gave me the silver last time?"
"Yes, I remember her too."
As they spoke, several children who had received money from Tian Yu remembered and nodded in agreement.
"Where did you all come from? Where are your families?"
“We have no family anymore, our families are all dead. We all came here from other places by begging,” said the older boy. He seemed sad as he finished speaking and lowered his head.
Tian Yu sighed, thought for a moment, and said, "Then where will you stay?"
"When it gets dark, just find somewhere to sleep," the boy who had spoken earlier said.
"Here's what we'll do. If you're willing, I can help you find a clean place to live, but you have to follow my instructions and learn some knowledge so that when you grow up you can be self-reliant and won't have to beg anymore."
After listening and thinking for a while, the older children agreed first, and the younger ones, seeing that the older ones were willing, also nodded and said they were willing. The children were then comforted.
Tian Yu then stood up, turned around to look at Zhao Moyan and then at Li Yong, and said to them, "These three guys are suspected of trafficking women and children. Lord Marquis Li, you must investigate them thoroughly!"
At this moment, one of the children said, "Yes, they also bought my sister. Please, madam, save my sister and them."
"They sold my sister too! Madam, please, save my sister!"
As they spoke, they all knelt down and began to cry. Tian Yu quickly helped them up one by one, saying, "With the Marquis here, don't worry, he will help you find your sisters." Tian Yu looked at the children; they were all boys, with only a few very young girls. Thinking back to what they had said earlier, it seemed they had all been sold into prostitution. Anger welled up inside her. She walked over to the three men; those who had been knocked unconscious earlier had already woken up. Seeing Tian Yu approach, Li Yong helped the three men to their feet and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely help you find them all. These three scoundrels will be handed over to the authorities soon."
"Okay, thank you, General Li. Didn't you just say you were going to buy me?" Tian Yu said, pointing at the eldest beggar.
"I dare not, Madam, I was blind and ignorant. Please forgive me, Madam. I will never dare to do it again." The eldest beggar quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"If I let you go, then tell me where all those people were sold."
"This, Madam, is the rule, I can't say it even if you kill me."
"Fine, you won't tell me. It's nothing more than a brothel, and the biggest brothel in the mountain city should be the Misty Rain Pavilion. Are you sure you don't want to explain now?"
"Since you've already guessed, why ask?"
"Looks like it really is." Tian Yu turned to look at Zhao Moyan, who was still angry, then quickly turned and kicked the man who called himself "Big Brother" in the groin. The man screamed and rolled on the ground, clutching his lower body. The other two quickly covered their own lower bodies and looked at Tian Yu in horror. Li Yong was also startled and glanced at the fallen man. How much pain must that have caused? He thought to himself, "My sister-in-law looks so gentle, but when she gets down to business, she's anything but gentle!"
"Make up for that kick from earlier." After saying that, she stopped looking at the three of them and walked up to Zhao Moyan, thinking about how to make him stop having such a stern face. Zhao Moyan was also a little surprised when he saw Tian Yu's kick, but he just moved his lips. Looking at the woman in front of him who was now smiling innocently at him, Zhao Moyan couldn't get angry even if he wanted to. He said to Li Yong, "Take her back to the yamen first and interrogate her properly about the whereabouts of the sold children."
