Chapter 55: Throwing Yourself into the Net
Yu Qiuyu was stunned, and then looked at the extinguished fire.
Well, it seems that their adventure was a wise move.
"But I want to ask you, who is he?"
Song Zhe pointed at Yun Ruiyi.
When he found Yu Qiuyu, the three of them fell to the ground with their eyes closed, and he thought something had happened to the three of them? But as soon as I sniffed, all three of them were breathing, and they fell asleep.
Song Zhe was relieved.
Yu Qiuyu followed Song Zhe's fingers and looked at Zhao Xuedian and Yun Ruiyi, at this time, Yun Ruiyi and Zhao Xuedian had quietly woken up, sat upright, and Zhao Xuedie's face appeared a little surprised and happy when he saw Song Zhe.
"Brother Song Zhe, I didn't expect it to be you."
She was a little surprised, she thought that the first to find her was her own guard or Zhao Zhichen.
Although Song Zhe is Zhao Zhichen's "minister of the humerus", Song Zhe and himself are not brother and sister in the real sense after all.
Song Zhe snorted and didn't explain much, but his eyes fell on Yun Ruiyi tightly.
How could there be someone from unknown origin around Zhao Xuedie?
Compared with Zhao Xuedie, Yu Qiuyu is still very good at observing words and feelings.
"Well, I'll go out and talk to you later, but you can rest assured that he's not a bad guy."
Yu Qiuyu took Song Zhe's arm to support herself and stood up, glanced at Yun Ruiyi with Song Zhe's gaze, and kindly explained for Yun Ruiyi.
As for how to introduce Yun Ruiyi's identity, Yu Qiuyu felt that she should explain this kind of thing to Song Zhe in private, otherwise it would hurt Yun Ruiyi's self-esteem too much, after all, he was still a seventeen or eighteen teenager.
Song Zhe glanced down at Yu Qiuyu and nodded trustingly.
Because of Song Zhe's protection, Yu Qiuyu and Zhao Xuedian can finally swagger out of this deep mountain, and the traffickers dare not openly deal with them, besides, even if they want to stop them, they have to see if they can beat Song Zhe.
Song Zhe was blown by his guards into a martial arts master who killed one person in ten steps and did not stay for thousands of miles, if he didn't even have the ability to defeat a few traffickers, then how could he mix in the rivers and lakes.
Walking out of this deep mountain, Yu Qiuyu saw Yu Yifan standing beside Zhao Zhichen at a glance, waiting eagerly.
"Brother."
Yu Qiuyu's eyes didn't know why they were sour, and tears slipped from her eyes.
She quickly stepped forward and hugged Yu Yifan, tears flowing out of her eyes as if she didn't want money.
She was aggrieved.
She misses Yu Yifan very much.
"Okay, okay, stop crying."
Such a sudden bear hug caught Yu Yifan off guard, Yu Yifan's body was frozen there at the time, and he didn't know where to put his hands.
Although the person in his arms is his sister, after all, there is a difference between men and women.
After a long time, Yu Yifan reluctantly reacted, patted Yu Qiuyu's shoulder, and comforted him softly.
Yu Qiuyu cried, his emotions got a proper catharsis, raised his head, and wiped his tears with a sob.
Seeing Yu Qiuyu's appearance, Zhao Zhichen's face became a little solemn, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's also our bad luck, can we wait until we get back and discuss it in detail? This is not the place to speak. ”
Yu Qiuyu raised a pair of teary eyes and looked at Zhao Zhichen quietly.
Although they are all wearing civilian clothes to come here to pick up themselves and Zhao Xuedie, if they are seen by the people here, wouldn't it be a surprise?
"Okay."
Zhao Zhichen also thought of this problem, and agreed to Yu Qiuyu's suggestion without saying a word.
The group went out of the mountain and planned to return to the mansion to rest, but a group of men were killed halfway up the mountain.
They were dressed in coarse clothes, with fierce expressions and somewhat hideous expressions.
"You little bunnies, but you've finally come out."
The leader happened to be the trafficker.
Yu Qiuyu was overjoyed, this saved her the need to explain to Zhao Zhichen, and it also saved Zhao Zhichen the manpower, material resources and energy to arrest these traffickers.
They are throwing themselves into the net and seeking their own death, which is really ...... It's stupid.
"Brother, it's them, they want to kill me and Xuedie."
The expression on Zhao Zhichen's face was a little serious, Yu Qiuyu secretly glanced at Zhao Zhichen, and sent an explanation in a timely manner.
Daring to deliberately murder the county lord is already a capital crime.
"Come on, take it."
Zhao Zhichen stared at them, his gaze becoming cold.
"What did you say?" Before the gang of traffickers could react to what Zhao Zhichen said, the people behind Zhao Zhichen had already stepped forward, drawing their knives out of their sheaths one by one, trying to subdue these traffickers.
Seeing the bright big knife, they were more or less worried and weak-hearted, and threatened Zhao Zhichen with insufficient confidence.
"Bold, it's broad daylight, what, you want to do it to us here?"
"This official is on official business, why can't he do it to you?"
Zhao Zhichen snorted coldly, and his gaze at them became more and more ruthless.
This officer?
Hearing this self-proclaim, a hint of panic began to appear on their faces.
Yu Qiuyu quietly shrank beside Song Zhe and Yu Yifan to watch the play, well, then they are completely safe, they happened to hit Zhao Zhichen's muzzle, I really don't blame them, I have to blame these traffickers for their bad luck.
The people around Zhao Zhichen are still very efficient, and they easily took down these traffickers.
"Take them to the government and interrogate them properly."
These traffickers looked at Zhao Zhichen dumbfounded, and then they reacted to a terrible question.
The person in front of him may be an official in Lingnan.
After coming out of the mountains, Yu Qiuyu and Zhao Xuedian did not return to their homes, but went to Zhao Zhichen's mansion first.
Entering the mansion, he Zhao Zhichen set his eyes on Yun Ruiyi, and his eyes were mixed with some unfriendly emotions, which made Zhao Xuedian feel very nervous in her heart, she hurriedly blocked in front of Zhao Zhichen and explained: "Yun Ruiyi was rescued by me from human traffickers, brother, he is not a bad person." ”
"Human traffickers?"
Zhao Zhichen looked at Yun Ruiyi, and the doubts in his eyes did not diminish with Zhao Xuedie's explanation.
"Take him down first."
Zhao Zhichen looked at Yun Ruiyi for a moment, waved his hand, and motioned for the palace guard to come forward and take Yun Ruiyi away.
At this time, Zhao Xue was in a hurry.
She hurriedly stretched out her arms to block Yun Ruiyi's body, protecting Yun Ruiyi like a hen protecting her chicks.
"Brother, what are you doing here? He, he was saved by me, is there anything wrong? ”
"Yes, but anyone who has contact with human traffickers will be investigated."
Zhao Zhichen stared at Zhao Xuedian and said mercilessly.
Zhao Xuedi was stunned, and some didn't react.
Zhao Zhichen is rarely so serious.
Yu Qiuyu was also a little uncomfortable with Zhao Zhichen's seriousness, Zhao Zhichen was too careful.
Glancing at Zhao Zhichen, Yu Qiuyu took the initiative to walk over and pull Zhao Xue's sleeve.
"It's okay, first wronged Yun Ruiyi, I believe that your brother will not hurt him, your brother may have something to ask him, don't embarrass your brother, okay?"
Yu Qiuyu and Zhao Xuedie played very well, so Zhao Xuedian could listen to Yu Qiuyu's words to some extent.
She pondered for a while, sighed, and instructed Zhao Zhichen with some unease, "Brother, I promised you that you could interrogate Yun Ruiyi, but you have to promise me that you can't hurt Yun Ruiyi, and I still wait for him to be my guard." ”
This requirement is not difficult for Zhao Zhichen to do.
Therefore, Zhao Zhichen nodded without hesitation.
Seeing that Zhao Zhichen agreed, Zhao Xuedi turned around and looked at Yun Ruiyi very seriously.
"Little brother, my brother just wants to ask you a few questions, don't worry, he won't embarrass you."
Yun Ruiyi's expression was a little complicated and dignified, and when he met Zhao Xuedie's shining eyes, his throat moved slightly, and he didn't know what to say to Zhao Xuedian at this time.
After a long time, all the words turned into a small nodding motion.
Zhao Xuedian breathed a sigh of relief slightly, since Yun Ruiyi agreed, then it would be easy to do.
Zhao Xuedie and Yun Ruiyi said a few words and instructed a few words, and the palace guard was able to take the person away from Zhao Xuedie.
But even if the person left, Zhao Xuedi still looked back at Yun Ruiyi's back with some "reluctance".
When Yu Qiuyu saw this scene, he suddenly had a very bloody idea.
Zhao Xuedie, could it be that he fell in love with this boy?
After this incident, Zhao Zhichen felt that human trafficking in the Lingnan area was a bit rampant, and he had the idea of wanting to deal with it.
Anyway, they are a big country, and if there is such a human trafficking thing, it will really be immoral.
However, suppressing the unhealthy trend of human trafficking is a large-scale reform, and if Zhao Zhichen really wants to do this, it will inevitably cause an uproar, and when the time comes, those people in the capital will definitely hear the news.
Therefore, Zhao Zhichen wanted to report to the emperor first and then make another decision.
After Yu Qiuyu heard some of Zhao Zhichen's ideas from Song Zhe, he was actually a little distressed.
In ancient times it was just inconvenient.
In modern times, if anyone dares to sell human beings, even if they are not shot, they will face thousands of moral trials, and life will definitely be difficult.
In ancient times, traffickers were likely to get away with it because of nepotism, and local officials needed the emperor's consent to even try to clean up the bad practices of human trafficking, and even to compete with the powerful.
However, what made Yu Qiuyu a little relieved was that looking at Zhao Zhichen's meaning, he really wanted to make a big move in the matter of human trafficking.
Not long after Zhao Zhichen and the emperor asked for a decree, the emperor's will was approved.
Zhao Zhichen was allowed to carry out drastic reforms and corrections in the matter of human trafficking.
This will of the emperor is very happy.
Yu Qiuyu, who has always hated human trafficking, almost jumped for joy when she heard the news.
Immediately, Yu Qiuyu put forward his own suggestions with Zhao Zhichen with great interest.
