The night is low, and the lights are on.

It was about seven o'clock in the evening, and the nightlife had not yet begun, but the town had quieted down, except for inns and restaurants, all the other shops were closed, and there were few pedestrians on the road.

The early winter night wind floated with a chill, rolling up the debris on the ground, blowing high, and then falling heavily.

Several sturdy men jumped onto the courtyard wall of a house, and then their figures flashed and disappeared into the night in an instant.

The door of a house in the far right corner of the house was kicked open, and several people rushed in, and after a fight, the candles in the house were lit.

Lei Ting probed the snort of Liu Jiaojiao, who was tied to the corner and closed her eyes tightly, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, she was just fainted by the drug, and her life was not in danger.

After hesitating for a moment, he put the little girl on his back and instructed the others: "Take the master's token, throw all these people to the yamen, inform the magistrate, tomorrow the master will come to try it in person, if something goes wrong, let him be careful of his own head!" ”

Several soldiers divided into two routes, Lei Ting took Liu Jiaojiao back to the inn, and the rest of the people took those who were captured to Yamen.

Gu Tingfeng was standing by the window at this time, quietly looking at the boundless night outside, his face was cold, and he was not afraid of the oncoming cold air at all.

Lei Jun said worriedly: "Master, be careful of catching a cold." ”

Gu Tingfeng didn't look back, and said lightly: "Thunder, that kid shouldn't be lazy, right?" Why haven't you come back yet? ”

Lei Jun defended his brother and said: "No, Xu has encountered something to delay." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and then the slightly hoarse voice of Thunder came: "Master, my subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored." ”

Lei Jun's face relaxed, and he immediately opened the door without waiting for Gu Tingfeng to speak.

As soon as Lei Ting entered the door, he carefully placed Liu Jiaojiao on the soft couch in the house, and then bowed to Gu Tingfeng and said, "According to the master's instructions, all the human traffickers have been handed over to the yamen, and the county has been notified that the master will personally go to the trial tomorrow." ”

Gu Tingfeng turned his head, bowed slightly, and then looked at Liu Jiaojiao who was lying on the soft couch, frowned, and said, "Xiao Jiaojiao, has she been drugged?" Why didn't you give her a solution? ”

Lei Ting explained: "The subordinates were worried that Miss Liu would be frightened when she woke up, so they didn't let her wake up. ”

Gu Tingfeng nodded clearly and said: "This is also true, after all, she is just a little girl, it is not good to be scared, now that it is safe, you can solve it for her." ”

Lei Ting took out a small white porcelain bottle from his waist, opened it and poured out a small red pill, then put away the porcelain bottle and pressed the pill into Liu Jiaojiao's mouth.

Soon, Liu Jiaojiao woke up leisurely. When she opened her eyes and saw Gu Tingfeng standing in front of her, the whole person sat up suddenly, due to the excessive force, her head was dizzy, and the body that had just sat up was about to fall down in an instant.

Gu Tingfeng hurriedly reached out to support her, and after letting her sit firmly, he said with concern: "Xiao Jiaojiao, are you okay?" ”

"Third Master?" Liu Jiaojiao held her temple with one hand, looked at him with a puzzled gaze, and after getting a confirmed nod, her eyes turned red, and then she cried, "Third master!" I've got the bad guys! Scared the hell out of me! ”

Gu Tingfeng was obviously stunned, and then he couldn't laugh or cry.

He always felt that this little girl was too mature to speak, but he didn't expect to reveal his true nature after this incident today, right, so he looked like a ten-year-old girl.

"Don't cry, don't cry, don't worry, it's okay, those bad guys have been arrested by the master, tomorrow the master will take you to the yamen to see what happens to them." Gu Tingfeng said softly.

"They're so bad! You're going to sell me! Liu Jiaojiao cried and complained, her delicate little face full of fear and grievance.

Gu Tingfeng couldn't bear to take out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and said in a gentle but secretly murderous tone: "Don't be afraid, the master is here, they don't dare." ”

Looking at Liu Jiaojiao, who was crying into tears, he suddenly remembered that the imperial sister who had passed away many years ago was also like her, with a lovely face as delicate as a porcelain doll, and she would cry and complain to him when she was wronged, and she seemed to be ten years old when she died.

Thinking of his sister who died early, Gu Tingfeng's expression became more and more gentle, and there was even a touch of doting in his eyes when he looked at Liu Jiaojiao.

Lei Ting and Lei Jun were shocked when they noticed it, and secretly exchanged a look that knew each other.

It seems that this little girl has really fallen into the eyes of the master, and it is the first time in all these years that they have seen the master show such a look to anyone.

Liu Jiaojiao didn't know that her acting actually made Gu Tingfeng empathetic, and linked her with the little princess who died early.

Early the next morning, Gu Tingfeng put out the prince's guard of honor, and under the stunned expressions of everyone in the inn and Liu Jiaojiao, he took the guards and Liu Jiaojiao to the county government in person to open a court to try the case of the disappearance of the girl who had disturbed the place for a year.

The trial process will not be repeated, in short, the result is that the black yarn hat of the county magistrate was removed, and all the relevant prisoners such as Zhou Yuanwai were imprisoned, and they only waited for Gu Tingfeng to return to the capital to dig out the people behind the scenes, and then report to the imperial court to deal with it.

The task assigned by the system was completed, and Zhou Yuanwai's forced marriage ended here, which can be said to be very happy, but Liu Jiaojiao couldn't laugh at all, because what she was most afraid of finally happened, and her calculation of Gu Tingfeng was known by this seemingly shrewd prince.

didn't have time to exchange rewards with the system, and Liu Jiaojiao was taken by Gu Tingfeng to the inner room of the county government to force a confession.

Looking at the witnesses - the sixth and seventh anti-water veterans, even if Liu Jiaojiao admits that she is eloquent, she has to think about refuting herself.

Speaking of which, she did calculate Gu Tingfeng, and she deserved it when she was discovered.

"Third prince, I'm sorry!" Liu Jiaojiao bowed sincerely and apologized, as for kneeling, modern people's knees are hard, and they will never kneel casually.

Gu Tingfeng's face was calm, and he couldn't see anything unusual, but it was because of this that it was even more terrifying.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put down the teacup, looked at Liu Jiaojiao expressionlessly, and said, "How do you know the identity of this king?" ”

Liu Jiaojiao had prepared the answer to this question in her heart in advance, because she knew that once she was suspected, she would definitely be asked this question, but the system absolutely couldn't say it, so this lie had to be told and had to be told well.

"Back to the third prince, the folk girl can't say it." She pretended to be struggling, biting her lip and lowering her head.

"Why can't you say that?"

"The folk girl promised not to betray him, so she can't say it."

"Who is he?" Gu Tingfeng's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, he actually didn't have any anger towards Liu Jiaojiao, because he had carefully investigated this little girl, it couldn't be sent by his enemy, the reason why he came here was to scare her, it was best to scare her so that she was willing to go back to the capital with him, but he didn't expect to ask someone.

Liu Jiaojiao showed a trace of hesitation on her face, Gu Tingfeng saw that there was a play, so she softened her tone and said demagoguery: "Xiao Jiaojiao, this king is not that kind of cruel person, and this king also believes that you will not harm me, but this king has been hiding his identity on this trip, and it stands to reason that no one should know that this king is here." Xiao Jiaojiao, this king is afraid that you will be deceived by bad people. ”

Liu Jiaojiao pretended to be surprised and said, "But he said that he just wanted to help me, not a bad person!" ”

"Well, this king doesn't ask who that person is, you just tell this king how you met, how about it?"

"A few days ago, I was knocked out and kidnapped from my home by these two traffickers, but fortunately I learned some self-defense methods, so I was able to escape, and later I learned from these two people that they had killed a lot of girls in the past year, and they had something to do with the yamen, so I didn't dare to report to the official, for fear of letting the tiger return to the mountain. Another day later, my brother and I took them to my grandfather for help, and he said that he couldn't help it, and I was very uncomfortable, so I went out and walked around, and then accidentally bumped into a man who looked like a fortune teller. He said that I would have a bloody disaster, and that I would be able to save the day unless the nobles helped, and then told me that you live in the Yuelai Inn, and you like to eat delicious food, so I thought about whether I could gamble, so I asked my grandfather to help me sneak into the inn kitchen, and then approached you with food, and then pretended to be tied up, and let you try the case yourself. ”

Except for a fictitious fortune teller, Liu Jiaojiao said the truth, because she knew that the easiest lie to believe was a lie mixed with nine truths, which was the highest level of lying.

Sure enough, although Gu Tingfeng's expression was a little dignified, he didn't doubt it, because he already knew a lot of things from the sixth and seventh people, which was roughly the same as what she said.

In fact, Liu Jiaojiao expected that the sixth and seventh would rebel, so she once reminded them intentionally or unintentionally that she fed them a unique poison that night, and there was no one to cure it except her, and the poison was chronic, even the best doctor could not find out, if there was no antidote she gave, they would be weak and die in half a year at most.

So although the sixth and seventh couldn't stand the thunder's means of coercing confessions, they still had reservations about the confessions they said, after all, they had personally experienced the methods of this little aunt and grandmother, and they didn't want to die.

To do anything, you must leave yourself behind, because no one thing, a calculation can be perfect, this is the biggest experience of Liu Jiaojiao, who has been doing market sales for ten years in modern times.

This habit, engraved in her bones, saved her again.

Gu Tingfeng asked a few more questions, and Liu Jiaojiao answered them very well, which was basically passed, pointing all the fingers at the non-existent fortune teller.

Gu Tingfeng saw that her expression didn't seem to be fake, and he didn't believe that a ten-year-old girl could be so shrewd, so he immediately ordered Lei Ting to investigate the fortune teller, after all, the other party could know his identity and his whereabouts, so he couldn't be unguarded.

In the next two days, all the fortune tellers in the town encountered a cold interrogation related to life and death, although in the end they did not find out the person, but for a while all the fortune tellers in the town were frightened, and they all did not dare to go out to set up stalls at home.

After Liu Jiaojiao learned about it, she thought helplessly, did she make a contribution to breaking feudal superstition?
