Chapter 183: First Hearing
Knowing the news of the traffickers searching for people, Lin Yunlei couldn't sit still, he just wanted to quickly arrest those people and ask about them, but he underestimated the two traffickers a little, but he didn't expect them to live in someone's lair, Lin Yunlei simply didn't do anything, and directly asked people to trap the people in the inn, and then waited for the traffickers to return to the inn, and then wiped them out, and it was not in vain that they worked hard to mobilize the people.
It's a pity that Lin Yunlei didn't find Xia Zhi, and the two traffickers only confessed that they caught two children, but the two children ran away, and they didn't know where they went. Lin Yunlei didn't believe it at first, and directly let people fight with the gang of traffickers several times, and seeing that they still didn't change their words, Lin Yunlei believed that they had escaped on the summer solstice.
So Lin Yunlei threw this group of people to his subordinates, and led people to look around the small market several times, but unfortunately no trace of the summer solstice was found, Lin Yunlei thought to himself, to say that the Tian family is the most unbearable in the summer solstice, and now that she escapes, she may have to return to Niangniang Town.
And returning to Niangniang Town must pass through Guanmiao Town, so Lin Yunlei took his subordinates back to Guanmiao Town, and asked the officials guarding the door to pay attention to the passers-by, whether there are eight or nine-year-old girls passing by, as long as there are suspicious people, report to them, he will not have a heavy reward.
And this time the person guarding the west gate is no one else, it is the summer solstice that they were kidnapped by the traffickers that night, and the people guarding the east gate, at that time, the traffickers could only stuff some money for the official in order to get out of the city gate as soon as possible, and this matter was not known to Lin Yunlei, and he often let his subordinates accompany this official to practice when they have nothing to do, so that this official can complain all day long. I want to strive for meritorious service. Let Lin Yunlei let him go.
"Why only now. Why don't you come to save me, why do you ......" Xia Zhi was held in Lin Yunlei's arms, patting Lin Yunlei's back with both hands, crying aggrievedly why he didn't come to save her these days, patting and patting, he actually hugged Lin Yunlei's neck, and cried loudly.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. Don't cry, cry too much, hurt your body! In the face of Xia Zhi's accusations, Lin Yunlei didn't want to defend anything, although he had been looking for her for so long, she still suffered a lot, he really didn't rescue her, and almost let the traffickers abduct her, fortunately, Xia Zhi was clever, otherwise he wouldn't know what to do.
Lin Yunlei comforted the summer solstice in his arms over and over again. Xia Zhi cried and cried in Lin Yunlei's arms, and actually fell asleep. Tian Lidong clenched his fists. Watching Lin Yunlei comforting Xia Solstice while holding him, watching Xia Solstice cry without image in Lin Yunlei's arms, he has never seen such a summer solstice, the summer solstice he has seen is optimistic, intelligent, and tenacious, and he has never seen a summer solstice that is so fragile that he cries his nose.
I don't know how long, the two of them stood in front of the carriage like this, and when Lin Yunlei found that Xia Zhi was asleep, he gently rested her head on his shoulder, and then glanced at Tian Lidong, who was sitting in the carriage and stared at him and Xia Zhi, and Mao Shilin and Mao Shiying, who were standing on the side looking at him in surprise.
"Since you know Xia Zhi, come with me!" To put it on the ordinary, Lin Yunlei doesn't care about these people at all, but they are different from the summer solstice. According to Lin Yunlei's guess, those two people may be the life-saving benefactors of Xia Zhi, as for the young man in the carriage, maybe it is the beggar who begged with Xia Zhi in Guanmiao Town.
Holding the summer solstice, which weighed a few pounds, Lin Yunlei thought a little distressedly, he must make up for the summer solstice in the future, see what he has lost weight, and he doesn't know how much suffering this child has suffered along the way, and there is no meat left on his body at all.
In order not to wake up the summer solstice, Lin Yunlei abandoned the horse, and just held the summer solstice until their current residence, and the subordinates looked at the unsmiling boss, and actually condescended to hold a child and entered the bedroom, isn't this a big news, the subordinates were about to move, and they saw the eyes of Ding Yi, the housekeeper next to the master, and the subordinates immediately became honest, what should they do.
Mao Shilin and Mao Shiying, as well as Tian Lidong all followed Lin Yunlei back, according to Xia Zhi's reaction, as long as they are not blind and deaf, they all know that Xia Zhi and this person not only know each other, but also are very familiar, since Xia Zhi is willing to go with them, they naturally have nothing to worry about, especially Xia Zhi is very relieved to fall asleep in someone's arms.
Don't look at Xia Zhi's young age, but the four of them are the most alert, a little bit of turmoil, she can detect it, maybe Mao Shilin and Mao Shiying don't have a deep understanding of this, but Tian Lidong does, otherwise the traffickers pried the door that day and arrested him and Xia Zhi, but only Xia Zhi realized that something was wrong, but it was too late, and the two were still arrested.
Lin Yunlei put Xia Zhi on the bed, covered the quilt, and settled everything, before he went to see Mao Shiying, Mao Shilin and Tian Lidong, and asked some about the life of Xia Zhi these days, and he must have asked them to return it a thousand times more than a thousand times after the summer solstice suffered.
It's just that what Lin Yunlei didn't expect was that Xia Zhi not only wanted to take Tian Lidong back, take care of him, and give him a bite to eat, but really wanted to treat him as a relative, not only said that he wanted Tian Laosi to accept him as a godson, but also gave Tian Lidong a decent name according to the rules of the Tian family, Lin Yunlei couldn't help but look at Tian Lidong, Xia Zhi still believed in the eyes of people, thinking that this young man must take good care of her.
After asking, Lin Yunlei asked his subordinates to take them to bathe, change clothes, and have dinner. As for himself, he sat on the edge of the bed of the summer solstice and guarded the summer solstice.
He has been waiting these days, hoping that the summer solstice will appear soon, but he doesn't know that she is sick, even if the illness is cured now, but the body is still very weak, no wonder she can fall asleep crying and crying, thinking that her body is weak, and coupled with the fatigue of the boat, it is inevitable that she will be sleepy, but she has been strong.
Lin Yunlei stared at Xia Zhi's pale little face, slightly furrowed eyebrows, and colorless lips, all proving that Xia Zhi's health was not good, Lin Yunlei just stared at Xia Zhi, he was stupid for a while, and he didn't know how long it had passed, he only heard a 'hmm~', it turned out that Xia Zhi woke up.
The first thing Xia Zhi did when he woke up was not to catch up with Lin Yunlei, but to ask, "For what?" ”
Others may not understand the meaning of the summer solstice, but Lin Yunlei and Xia Zhi have been together for more than half a year, day and night, and the two have a very tacit understanding, so almost as soon as Xia Solstice opens his eyes, Lin Yunlei can think of what Xia Solstice wants to ask.
"Hehe......" Although he guessed what Xia Solstice was going to ask, Lin Yunlei was still pleased by the cuteness of Xia Solstice.
"What are you laughing at, what's so funny, if you don't make it clear to me today, I'm not done with you!" Xia Zhi was inexplicably laughed by Lin Yunlei, and said with some annoyance.
"Haha......" Lin Yunlei laughed even more unscrupulously, seeing that Xia Zhi was really annoyed, he stopped laughing, "Okay, don't laugh at you, I shouldn't tell you these things, since you want to know, then I'll tell you!" ”
"You've heard Uncle Xu say before, agriculture is encouraged today, especially the cotton that is controlled by several major merchants, so far no one else can grow it except for those merchants, resulting in cotton becoming a monopoly goods, even if the imperial court wants to requisition, they are unwilling, resulting in the people and border guards in many places are frozen to death because they can't keep out the cold in winter!"
"You mean, I was arrested by one of the big merchants?" Xia Zhi sat on the bed, sitting face to face with Lin Yunlei, listening very carefully, and at the same time, her brain was also thinking at full power.
"You're right, it's just that you want to listen to me!" Lin Yunlei has long been immune to Xia Zhi's cleverness, but he is very unhappy about her habit of interjecting him!
"You say, you say!" Xia Zhi waved his hand awkwardly, it was really rigid, this was too serious.
"Nowadays, the DPRK and China are divided into two factions, one is the leftist faction dominated by the leftist prime minister, and the other faction is the rightist faction dominated by the right minister.
Today originally wanted to rectify them, but the right minister is a veteran of the three dynasties, the relationship between the DPRK and China is intertwined, it can be said that the whole body is involved, and he can't move him at all, in addition to the fact that there are a lot of things that are controlled by the right faction, if the right minister is rashly moved, it will inevitably cause social turmoil, and the people will suffer at that time.
Cotton is just controlled by the right faction, today I thought of many ways, but did not succeed in planting, one is that someone is destroying, and the other is not that it has not been planted, but the people who planted it, have mysteriously 'disappeared', the right minister sent people to catch them, either for their own use, or killed by them, and they arrested you because they knew that you planted cotton! ”
"It's impossible, isn't this matter a secret, and you also sent someone to protect our family, and the news won't leak if you think about it!" Xia Zhi asked with some confusion.
"We people won't leak it, but you forgot the Tian Shan family who was kicked out, and Tian Dashan sold you for a few taels of silver, so they learned the news!"
"But they didn't know it was cotton!"
"Speaking of which, I don't know if you are unlucky, when Tian Dashan met their people, they happened to be transporting seedlings, and Tian Dashan recognized the cotton seedlings,......" Lin Yunlei told the news of how Tian Dashan betrayed her.
Xia Zhi grew up, but she couldn't speak at all, she was really unlucky to get home! (To be continued......)
