Su Rong suddenly grinned, and called out in her mouth: "Ling'er, my son, go back to my mother." She struggled to break free of her sister's hand, and crawled forward on her knees, her eyes pretentious, and her eyes glazed with tears. The strong man was a little moved, and he slowly squatted down, while vigilant against the three guardian martial artists, and handed the sleeping boy in his arms to his mother in his hand.

The young woman forgot the danger, she swooped forward, and took her son back from the strong man's hand, tears of excitement burst out of her eyes, and a drop fell on the little face of her sweet sleeping son, who held him tightly in her arms, as if she were holding the whole world.

The three courtyard martial artists moved forward and were about to intervene, but they were stopped by Su Qing.

"He was stunned by the anesthetic, and he could be woken up by spraying cold water on his face." The strong man smiled and admonished, then slowly got up, his eyes still vigilantly staring at the three nurses.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not a trafficker, the traffickers are a young couple and have already run away." The strong man slowly raised his hands, slowly retreated away from the mother and son, and explained to Su Qing with a smile.

"Send the eldest lady and the eldest man to the car." Su Qing calmly gave an order to the two servant girls who were watching, and his tone was cold and hard, with an irresistible majesty.

"This child is my nephew, Your Excellency is very grateful, and I am grateful." Su Qing bowed his back and bowed his hand, his expression was respectful, but the etiquette was not very thoughtful. Receiving this great favor, but refusing to even reveal his name, is obviously not a courtesy.

The strong man didn't care, and saluted back: "When the road is uneven, it is not worth pulling out a sword to help." ”

Su Qing raised her eyebrows when she heard this, the hostility in her eyes suddenly decreased, she nodded, and the coachman stepped forward, offering a wooden box with both hands, containing six gold beads. The gold pearl shines brightly and is worth a lot of money.

The strong man hesitated slightly, stepped forward and took the wooden box, thanked him, and wanted to leave.

This strong man is Li Mao, he has long recognized that the slender waist and tall girl in front of him is Su Sanniang, Su Qing, the daughter of Su Zhen, a gentry in Su Nu Township, Chengwu County.

That **** went to Su Zhen's house to raise food, and when he left, he saw her outside the village gate, although it was only one side, Li Mao already remembered her, for the same reason, Su Qing was tall, taller than ordinary men, a woman dressed as a man was chic and capable, and the resoluteness between her eyebrows was far from being comparable to ordinary men, so Li Mao remembered it in his heart after only looking at it.

In addition, he also recognized that one of the three Guardian Martial Artists who had done with him was the one who had blocked him from entering the gate in front of Keifukuji Temple that day. Since the incident of Lu Ru accusing him to the Military Supervision Academy, Li Mao has worked hard to study the interpersonal relationship between Chengwu and the surrounding officialdom, not only to dig out the three generations of people in Gushan Town and Chengwu County, but also to let go of the characters in Caozhou and Yunzhou.

The wife of Wang Xun, who joined the army in Caozhou, was Su Rong, the daughter of Su Zhen, a big family in Chengwu County, which was why he took the initiative to retreat in front of Qingfu Temple that day.

Although Su Qing spoke coldly to this young woman, the kind of intimacy from the heart could not be concealed by words, Li Mao deduced that this young woman was Wang Xun's wife Su Rong, and then linked to what he saw and heard in front of Qingfu Temple that day, he shuddered: The boy in his arms Bacheng is Su Rong's son!

When Su Qing refused to report his name when he thanked him, Li Mao became even more convinced of his judgment, so he was ready to leave after receiving the payment, this kind of thing the Su family must not want to publicize, it is better for him to disappear as soon as possible.

The owner of this noodle shop, Yang Qi, was originally a gangster in Jiyin County, who ran out of the city to open this noodle shop after a fight and injured people. The two traffickers who abducted Wang Xun's son Wang Ling happened to live in his black shop.

The two traffickers were both outsiders, and when the couple passed by Qingfu Temple that day, they saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old maid playing with a three-year-old child in her arms, and a servant and slave were talking in the distance, thinking that there was an opportunity. The husband took the opportunity to rush behind the little maid and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief dipped in drugs, which stunned her.

Although Yang Qi has been in the market for many years, compared with this kind of well-informed and experienced Jianghu characters who have been out since childhood, he is not a little bit worse, and when the trafficker couple came to the store with their children, he did not have any suspicions.

Yang Qi's black shop is only operating without a license at best, in order to avoid harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and there is still an essential difference between it and the black shops set up on the rivers and lakes to harm people.

Li Mao came to the noodle restaurant to eat noodles, Yang Qi was a little fond of ignoring it, and he couldn't make a lot of money selling bowls of noodles, and the guest room in the black shop behind was lived by the trafficker couple and couldn't get in. Doing business, no profit can not be early, there is nothing to ask for Li Mao, and if you want to be polite, you can't lift your spirits.

But the arrival of his sister Aunt Yang lifted his spirits, Aunt Yang's husband is an old official in Jiyin County, the first county of Caozhou, named Feng Guo, who has more than a dozen helpers under his hands, and he is very good at eating in the county. Yang Qi dared to open a black shop outside the city, all thanks to his brother-in-law's care. At the end of the summer of this year, Tubo Koubian, Jingxi was tight, and the imperial court ordered all provinces to recruit anti-autumn soldiers.

Caozhou's task is to recruit 300 people, Jiyin County is the first county of Caozhou, and it needs to recruit 70 people. Go to the west of Beijing to be an anti-autumn soldier, no better than guarding the town, Ziqing is rich, the supply of food and clothing is abundant, the border town in the west of Beijing is thousands of miles away from Caozhou, and the imperial treasury is empty every year, the border army not only has no rewards, but even the regular military salary is often deducted, so no one wants to join the army to garrison the border.

Feng Guo was responsible for recruiting five people, and he only recruited four with great effort, and he was short of one but he couldn't complete it, and the county magistrate hated him for his incompetence, and he was severely reprimanded in court that day. Feng Guo, who was in an unhappy mood, didn't like anyone when he went home, and it happened that Aunt Yang forgot to put salt in cooking, so he took the opportunity to attack her and beat her up.

Aunt Yang, who was beaten, swallowed her anger and quietly ran to her brother's house to hide from the peace. When she saw Li Mao at a glance, her eyes lit up, this burly man with a strange hairstyle was a stranger from an unknown source, isn't this a blessing from God?

The woman told her brother to hold her brother steady, and she ran home to report to her husband and arrest him.

In the past two years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have been endless in the territory of Caozhou, and the people have either fled to other places, or attached themselves to wealthy families, and the household registration has been ten rooms and nine empty, and the local prefectures and counties have acquiesced in the use of some special means by the townships and small officials, including the kidnapping of single outsiders with suspicious identities.
