The next day, the wind and rain stopped. Wan'an County received a report from the dock manager that the notorious human trafficker Honggu had been found on the dock, and she was selling a boatload of boys and girls who were going to Xiajiang to sell.

The county magistrate mobilized the police station and quickly dispatched to surround the pier and rescue thirty or forty boys and girls.

I saw a thin and beautiful woman spread on the pier, lying on her stomach and hanging on the ground, unable to help herself, covered in flesh and blood, shocking.

The county magistrate saw that something was strange and asked the steward, and the steward reported that this Honggu was blind and actually kidnapped the daughter of a large family in Shangjiang, and was found by people overnight, beaten and thrown on the dock. This may also be God's eyes, to leave her a remnant life to wake up to the world.

There were a few people with blurred flesh and blood tied to the boat, and when they were untied and looked at it, they were already angry, and it was difficult to treat them.

There was a man and a woman tied up in the cabin, the man's pale face and the woman's fat and greasy.

The steward said that these two were Honggu's subordinates who stayed in Ganzhou City, and only because they were found by the big family, they had to take them all the way to find them, and read that he made some efforts, and the big family left them alive, and only broke their hands and feet to show a light punishment.

At the end of the day, the manager presented two more account books, which the county magistrate opened and looked at, one of which registered information such as the parents of the abducted children, and the other book, which contained the confessions and drawings of several traffickers.

The county magistrate said that this human trafficker hurts nature and reason, which is hateful, but the state has national laws and family rules, so since the big family has followed the trail and found their daughter, they should report to the government to lock it up, and they should not use lynching like this...... He also asked the steward where the group of the big family had gone after they had saved people. The steward replied that the group of the big family had already left overnight in the rain along the river.

The sheriff took his subordinates to chase, but after the rain, there was no trace on the riverbank, and where could he chase him, so he had to go back.

The county magistrate immediately decided to expose the matter. He has led the establishment of a committee to deal with the repatriation of these abducted children.

Half a month later, the "Jiangyou Daily" published the details of the crackdown on the human trafficker Honggu in a front-page headline, and also published that the Ganzhou Administration and Wan'an County Administration were sending the abducted children back to their hometowns one by one.

In the end, this major case alarmed the top level of the state government, and even reached the chairman of the Standing Committee. The chairman of the Standing Committee reminded that the reason why Gannan was able to crack such a major case this time was that after the investigation of the chaos in Gannan, the society was clear, and the officials were respectful of their duties and enforced the law, and it was necessary to do a good job in the repatriation of these abducted children, and strive to let every child return to his or her own home and reunite with his parents.

With the government's statement, the press moved when they heard the news.

In the following two months, the major newspapers followed up on the incident one after another, and in the end, the thirty or forty children all returned to their parents without any problems.

Early in the morning of the same day, Xie Yucheng and his entourage, leading the horses and mules, went up the river along the west bank, and two days later, the horse team arrived in Ganzhen, then left the shore and looked northwest.

Along the way through the village through the village, walked seventy or eighty miles, saw to a polder town, look at the sky, the sun has fallen to the back of the mountain, only a few traces of glow painted in the sky, then intend to stay in this polder town, tomorrow hurry up and go again.

Who would have thought, as soon as the horse team entered the entrance of the town, they saw an army in the town, which was full of chickens and dogs jumping and wolves rushing in the streets.

A few days ago, the state government sent a special commissioner to Longquan County, united with the Jingwei regiment of the two provinces and six counties, and went into the mountains to suppress the red characters in the mountains and the mountain bandits in this area, and defeated them into an army, and scattered and fled. Now this team is here to chase and plug the leak on the border.

When everyone in the horse team heard this, they were shocked, and they thought: The Jingwei regiments of the two provinces and six counties are attacking at the same time, and no force in this mountain can resist it, and they can't help but worry more about the safety of the cottage.

The villagers told Xie Yucheng that if he wanted to enter the mountain, there was another way, and he only had to bypass the stone bridge outside the polder town.

Xie Yucheng hurriedly led the horse team around to the stone bridge, who thought that it would be too late if there was a slight delay, the army had already set up a checkpoint on a stone bridge that must be passed, and checked the horses, mules and pedestrians passing by.

The bridge sat on a ditch about ten feet wide, but the checkpoint was inexplicably set up in the middle of the bridge.

The wind blew from the opposite bank, and the horse team stopped in the bushes not far from the stone bridge, and several people came to the bridge to observe. Seeing that there were only five guns on the stone bridge, Lu Qing had the idea of breaking through, and frequently signaled to Xie Yucheng and Qiao Feiyan, but the two ignored him, and he had no choice but to dispel this idea.

In the twilight, a couple with a child walked far away on the other side of the bridge, the woman holding the child in her left hand and a bamboo basket in her right hand, in which a few cabbages were held, and her husband carried a pair of baskets, with a brisk step, the baskets swaying, apparently a pair of empty baskets.

They were stopped on the bridge. A few soldiers with guns on their backs did not find anything valuable on them, but they were so angry that they saw two soldiers involuntarily say, snatched the man's picket and threw it off the bridge, and then slapped him a few times, knocked him down with a few punches, and stepped on a few kicks. The other captain-like guy let out a lewd grin as he grabbed the young woman by the hand. The woman was visibly frightened, and stood there like a chicken, letting him do whatever he wanted. Their five or six-year-old was crying next to him.

When the people hiding behind the trees saw it, they couldn't help but be angry. Xie Yucheng raised his hand to stop them, looked at the road ahead, and saw that in the thick twilight, the mountains and mountains were faintly visible, and he was a little relieved. However, when he looked in the direction of the town, his brow quickly tightened again.

I saw that in the twilight of the polder town, seven or eight horsemen and horses were rushing out, forcing a galloping carriage to stop at the side of the road, and immediately jumped down three or four scolding soldiers, pounced on the carriage, and pulled the man driving to the side of the road, which was a punch and kick.

Eyes moved to the town hundreds of meters away, only to see that chickens were still flying, but smoke was rising in the southwest corner of the town, and he knew that it was the army cooking. As for the townspeople, I'm afraid that they are still too poor to deal with the wolf-like robbers, and they can't spare time or effort to prepare dinner.

Looking back at the horse team of his group, except for two empty horses for Zhu Deshui and Lu Ting to ride, everyone else was all on foot, and the horses and mules in their hands were all carrying a lot of weight, Xie Yucheng felt that his group really had no capital to make trouble.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves around him, and a horse rushed out of the horse team and ran onto the bridge. It turned out to be the ghostly Ting girl, and the horse she sat on was led by Lu Qing all the way. But he had just learned to ride for a long time, and his interest was strong but his riding skills were rusty, and he was angry when he stretched his neck through the gap between the branches, and the little fist he was holding in his forgetfulness smashed on the horse's neck, so shocked that the horse broke free from Lu Qing's hand and ran out.

Seeing that this girl was panicked, she couldn't care about holding grievances for others anymore, and her two little hands held the horse hard, wanting to turn its head, and the immature child's voice screamed again and again: "You are a beast, what is it to bully honest people, you have the ability to bully my sister and my brother!" ”

The soldiers on the bridge turned their heads to look at it, and saw that it was a yellow-haired girl, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and involuntarily let go of the couple, and the woman seemed to have finally come to her senses, and stepped forward to pick up her husband, take the child, and hurriedly turn back in the direction of the road.

Qiao Feiyan and Lu Qing jumped up and rushed forward, Xie Yucheng stretched out his hands and grabbed Lu Qing, who was a little closer to him, he struggled for a while and didn't break free, and turned around and glared viciously.

Xie Yucheng ignored it, just patted him on the shoulder, and at the same time took Ying Qiqi from the horse's shoulder and handed it to him.

Qiao Feiyan rushed to the bridge desperately, and did not speak, only grabbed Lu Ting's horse's head and pulled it back.

Through the gap between the branches, Xie Yucheng stared intently at the five soldiers on the opposite bridge, while quietly pulling the flower trap out from under the cloth on the mule's back, holding it with one hand, raising it over his shoulder, and shaking it to the people behind him.

Everyone understood and drew their weapons one after another.

Seeing that a tall horse and a pair of beauties suddenly came to the bridge here, on the card in the middle of the bridge, several soldiers looked at each other and giggled, walked over quickly, and a guy with a crooked hat laughed: "Yo, two sisters, this is a frightened horse?" It's okay. Brother is here to gather you and make sure that the horses and everyone are comfortable! ”

A fat soldier with a half-open chest revealing a handful of heart protection hair, opened his mouth full of big yellow teeth, a pair of goldfish eyes shone brightly, and his snot flowed: "Hey, that big sister, look at the delicate appearance of people, it's better to stand on the side quickly, don't be trampled by the horse's hooves, lest your brothers be sad!" ”

The five men came in a hurry, and when they saw their fine skin and tender flesh, they guessed that they were the women of some wealthy family in the nearby towns and villages, and that they lived not far from the front. One by one, I couldn't help but be even more excited. At this time, they saw that Qiao Feiyan had already turned the horse and was dragging it back, so they quickened their pace, and their mouths continued to be unclean: "Hey, don't go, sister, it's getting dark, it's better to stay and wait for your brothers, you can pick and choose the gold bars!" "That's right, not only can you pick the gold bars, but you can also pick the people, which one you choose, which one will follow you into the cave room, haha!" "Hahahaha......"

Qiao Feiyan hated so much that her silver teeth were crushed, and when she saw them speeding up, she smiled coldly in her heart, but she pretended to be panicked on her face, and her steps were deliberately a little staggering, and the soldiers were really fooled, they saw that the road turned around, and there were faint lights in the distance, and the heart could escape The monk couldn't escape from the temple, just to your house, first fish, meat, wine and food, and then Miss Young Grandma Mei Jiaoniang, have a good time.

Qiao Feiyan led the horse unhurriedly and passed in front of the bushes, and the group of soldiers relied on the fact that there were many people and guns, and they did not doubt that they had it, so they chased after it happily. It's just that Lu Ting, who knew that she had caused a big disaster, was nervous at this time, and when she saw everyone's hiding place, her sister continued to walk forward, thinking: Could it be that in just a while, Brother Xie, they have gone so far? Involuntarily looked and looked again and again in the bushes.

Her action happened to fall in the eyes of the captain, who hurriedly looked into the bushes, only to see that the branches and leaves in the bushes were windless and automatic, and there was a flurry of shaking, and six or seven men suddenly appeared inside, and the long guns and short cannons pointed straight at them.

"Oh, Odi." The captain screamed and ran back, running for a while before he remembered to pick up the rifle from his shoulder.

Before the other four ** could react, the long spear and short cannon hit the forehead and chest.

Qiao Feiyan dragged Lu Ting off the horse, turned over by herself, got on the back of the horse, just turned the horse's head, and saw that Zhu Deshui had already flown and rode away, seeing that although his legs and feet were inconvenient, his body was like a mountain, and his riding skills were not weak, so he immediately applauded in his heart! He stopped, and was afraid that he would suffer, so he urged the horse to follow.

Lu Qing put away a soldier's gun, and when he saw that the captain had run away, he threw the gun to the side of the road, held Ying Qiqi with both hands, put it against his shoulder socket, tilted his head, put the gun on his cheek, and slowly relaxed his breathing.

Although the captain took off the gun, he didn't dare to look back, and when he heard someone riding a horse chasing after him, he faced the evening breeze and yelled at the town in the distance: "Someone~ Help!" ”

However, not far after his shout was sent, it was torn apart by the evening breeze blowing on the opposite bank.

When he came to his senses, raised the spear in his hand, held it in both hands, and touched the trigger hole with his right hand, the sound of horses' hooves had come to a meter or two behind him, and he didn't have time to turn back. However, his running body was too fast, and after losing consciousness, he still ran with him two or three paces before he popped and fell to the ground.

Zhu Deshui stopped and stroked Ying Qiqi in his hand, trembling with distress - although there was no obvious hard wound on the surface of this gun, he also knew that after holding the barrel of the gun so vigorously just now, this accuracy would be much worse in the future. This British seven-seven, but it came from England across the ocean, and it is not easy to do bullets, and it is even more difficult to do guns. If you damage one, you'll miss one. I wondered in my heart, how could I ask Commander Xie for one again when I turned around? After all, this Xie commander is in the cottage, and now he is in the limelight. If it's not good, the whole cottage will become his. What is a foreign gun? Ha ha. That's right, it's on his head. Who let me break this gun by capturing the enemy on the battlefield?

was muttering, the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when he turned around, he saw the heroic and pretty big palm plate catching up, and I heard her praise in a coquettish voice: "Ha, Master Zhu's sword is not old, admire, admire ......"

While speaking, when she came closer, Qiao Feiyan turned over and dismounted, checked the soldiers lying on the ground, raised her head in surprise, her eyes flashed, and she said happily; "Ha, it's a worry-free one, it's out of gas!"

After a short time, the people behind gagged a few soldiers, tied them to their horses, and hurried up.

At this time, this ambush battle, which began unexpectedly, finally ended perfectly!

The rabbit rises and falls, clean and neat!

Under the cover of twilight and evening breeze, even the soldiers and horses in the town hundreds of meters away were not alarmed.

Xie Yucheng and others were worried about the safety of the cottage, so they asked Qiao Feiyan to lead one person to open the way, and after Lu Qinghe, who was on foot, and Zhu Deshui Hall on horseback, the whole horse team hurried past the edge of the polder town and ran to the high mountains and mountains in the hazy distance.

At this moment, the twilight became thicker and thicker, and the hedgerows and houses beside the road, and the roads in front of and behind them, soon became a blurry and indistinguishable smoke. Let the night walkers who can't stay overnight miss the moon more and more when they don't know when it will appear.

After walking for half a night, they reached a mountain col, and the horse team stopped for a rest.

Xie Yucheng ordered Lu Qing to interrogate several captives on horseback, but he didn't want to learn of an unexpected news, which shocked the sky like a thunderbolt, and shocked the group to tremble.
