Chapter 4 Departure to Wutong Town
When Situ Yimo heard this, she remembered that a few days ago, she heard her second uncle mention the case of the disappearance of children in Wutong Town, and heard that the imperial court had sent the governor to investigate the case, but the missing children have not been found so far.
When the county lord of Nirui heard this, he immediately became angry, crossed his hands on his hips, and pouted his mouth with resentment, "It's so hateful!" So many girls have disappeared! Who is so mad that he would do such a despicable thing! If this kind of bastard falls into the hands of the county lord, he will definitely be cut off!"
The corners of Shang Shuwei's eyebrows trembled slightly, listening to the not very elegant words of the county lord Nirui, she touched her eyebrows, there was a little embarrassment, after all, she was born in a scholarly family and was familiar with the books of sages and sages, even if she was very resentful, but she still couldn't listen to such rude words as scolding.
"I heard that the imperial court has sent officials to review the case, so I think I will be able to find those girls soon!" Lest the county lord of Nirui say indecent words again, Shang Shuwei hurriedly said with a smile.
"The slaves heard that the missing girls were all six to nine years old, and they didn't know who was so cruel as to arrest these girls." Xinglu also sighed, feeling that these girls were afraid that they would be more than lucky, and if they caught someone, they would definitely not be spared easily.
Gan Tang's face was not good, he hesitated for a moment, but still said in a panic, "The slave maid has also heard that many of the people in their hands are young children of unknown origin, and they have special ways to sell them. I'm afraid that those missing children will be sold, either to be maids, or to go, that kind of place......"
Situ Yimo looked up and saw that Du Li's face was not good, and the handkerchief in his hand was clenched tightly, thinking that Du Li was worried about his sister, after thinking about it, she said.
"The emperor is benevolent and generous to the people, and will never allow such a cruel thing to happen, and the Holy Governor sent a governor to investigate, which shows that the Holy One attaches great importance to this matter, and those human traffickers should also be afraid.
What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also made a law in the Criminal Department two years ago, selling children is a capital crime, and the buyers and sellers must have a formal contract, otherwise they will be treated as trafficking. In recent years, there has been a marked improvement in human trafficking.
The major government officials are also closely watching this matter, even if those people have a thief's heart, they have to weigh it, and they will not sell their young children to a place like the Qinglou, otherwise this is a big crime of the nine clans. ”
When the county lord Nirui heard this, her face softened a lot, thinking of his wise and martial emperor uncle and her prodigy prince brother, she relaxed and her anger disappeared, feeling that Situ Yimo was right. It's just that......
"But there are so many children missing in Wutong Town, at least there must be one or twenty, if they hadn't been abducted by human traffickers, where would they go?"
"My father also said that it was very likely that they would be taken away by human traffickers, but so many children were missing, so they were not afraid of the government's investigation? In the past two years, the Criminal Department has cut off the heads of many traffickers!"
Shang Shuwei was puzzled and angry, she felt that human traffickers were really hateful, it was too immoral to arrest other people's children, and how sad the parents who lost their children were! She thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done the right thing, and this kind of person should be beheaded!
Situ Yimo frowned slightly when he saw them so indignant, they were all true and good people! In her previous life, she often saw human trafficking on TV, and she was also very sorry at the time, but it was a pity that she couldn't do anything.
However, her husband has caught a lot of traffickers! After all, with his power, it would be easy to catch them.
"Have you been abducted by human traffickers, let's go to Wutong Town and take a look!"
Situ Yimo thought, in this life, she is the emperor's own lord of Anhe, and she also has the sword of Shang Fang given by the emperor, and she also has the ability to catch human traffickers! Save the children!
"That's right! Or Ann and your appetite for me! I have to think so too! I'm also eating royal food, so I have to do something for the royal family!"
"The county lord must rescue those children!"
"Without further ado, let's leave Wutong Town early tomorrow morning!"
When Mrs. Shang heard that they were going to Qinghe Town, she was naturally happy and happily prepared their luggage for them. After all, it was her mother's house, and the children were willing to be close to her mother's family, and she was happy, and her mother had always liked children! Not long ago, I urged the children to see her!
As for safety, she is not worried, Situ Yimo is the daughter of the general who protects the country, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, she sees Situ Yimo practicing martial arts every day, and knows that her niece is strong in martial arts.
What's more, there are two girls who know martial arts by Situ Yimo's side, and those two girls are very capable. And there is also the company of the county lord of Nirui, she is the precious daughter of Princess Yaoping, she goes out, Princess Yaoping will naturally send someone to protect her.
So, where is the danger?
Her old lady also said that people still have to go out for a walk in order to increase their knowledge! No, didn't he just take his mother-in-law on a tour of the mountains and rivers!
Princess Yaoping learned that her daughter was going out, and she happily packed her luggage, her daughter is not idle, and she is willing to go out, so as not to always block herself, just right, she can also live a two-person world with the horse!
So, she can't wait for her daughter to go out!
The next day, the second lady Shang and Princess Yaoping sent them out of the city with a smile, and then made an appointment to play horse tags......
Wutong Town is not far from Weicheng, and it is only three days away by carriage, and they are thinking about the disappearance of young children in Wutong Town, so they have been whipping up all the way, and they arrived in Wutong Town two days later.
In previous years, when they came to Wutong Town, the streets were very lively, but now they seem deserted, and they think it has something to do with the disappearance of children.
Situ Yimo saw that the county lord of Nirui was tired, and knew that they were tired of traveling, so he went to the inn first to settle down. This inn is also deserted, and there are only a few guests, who listen to their accents like outsiders, and they are elegantly dressed, and they look like the sons of a family.
Xiao Er saw that they were dressed extraordinarily, and knew that they were also nobles, so he waited carefully and led them to the upper room. When he saw the Nirui County Lord, he yawned straight away, and immediately prepared hot water and delicacies for them, which were all specialties of Wutong Town.
Because of the thoughtful service of Xiao Er, after the Nirui County Lord and Monk Shuwei ate well, she felt much more comfortable, so she lay down and fell asleep. Situ Yimo didn't feel tired, she opened the window and saw that the sun was just right, but there were very few people setting up stalls outside, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and felt that the current scene in Wutong Town was really weird, so she let Xinglu go to inquire about the situation.
When they woke up, it was already nightfall, and when Situ Yimo saw that their faces were ruddy, he knew that they were resting well, so he asked Xinglu to tell them what he had heard.
They were so shocked that their jaws were about to drop, and it took a long time to ease their senses and become angry, and the county lord of Nirui trembled with anger, and pulled Situ Yimo out.
