They spoke to Chen Yuan earnestly, but Chen Yuan felt a little bored in his heart, after all, they had not been observed. The woman scolded, sprinkled, and pretended to be pitiful, which showed that she was a habitual offender.

Chen Yuan was unmoved, and said loudly: "I am a scholar in the next generation, a villager in the village, naturally I will not joke about my future." If it turns out that this is just a mistake in Zaixia, then even if he is beaten by this woman's family, he will be willing, but please see clearly, the clothes that this child wears, the gold chain he wears, and the longevity lock he wears are all pure gold, unspeakably expensive, not plated, and look at what this woman is wearing, and the calluses on her hands, are the two like mother and son? ”

After listening to it and looking at the dress of the mother and son, everyone couldn't help but wonder.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the woman looked secretly and wanted to escape, but at this time she was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and it was so difficult to get out. Crying and wiping tears, he quibbled: "This child is the only child in my family, how many bodhisattvas have I begged to get it, three generations of single transmission, since he was born, who in the family does not treat him as a baby?" The best things in the house were naturally used by him, gold and silver to ward off evil spirits, even if we ate chaff vegetables, we had to hurt our son, how did it become a sin. ”

"Since that's the case, then follow me to the official mansion for a trip, if it's wrong, I will naturally admit to killing and killing." Chen Yuan did not back down, and kept staring at the woman, looking for flaws.

The woman scolded angrily: "The old lady doesn't mess with you, look at the big guy, I have him at such an old age, looking forward to the stars and the moon, worshiping the gods and Buddhas, there are not a thousand, there are also eight hundred, the bridge of children and grandchildren, there are not twenty, there are eighteen, and finally he has a child, he has been crying all the time, ah, why is there no voice, if he has three long and two short, you are the sinner who killed our family." ”

After hearing this, everyone suddenly felt reasonable, since this woman is an old clam and a pearl, of course she loves her son. The son is the only incense in the family, what is so strange about spoiling and loving. The son who finally got it, Chen Yuan's approach was really excessive. At this moment, I suddenly heard a person squeeze in from the crowd and shouted: "Fang Niangzi, Fang Niangzi, Brother Tang is waiting at home in a hurry, why haven't you arrived home yet, be careful not to bump into Bao'er." ”

When they heard the sound, they saw a man with a thick figure breaking in, dressed in a short linen coat, also dressed as a peasant.

The woman, Mrs. Fang, hurriedly shouted as if she saw the savior: "Second Uncle Yu, come and help, this scholar doesn't know what is crazy, he is messing around, he doesn't let me go, he has to pull me to see the official." ”

When the man surnamed Yu heard this, he said angrily to Chen Yuan: "Don't get out of the way, otherwise, Lao Tzu will make you look good." He raised the huge fist in his hand and threatened Chen Yuan.

The old man who bought the noodles hadn't left yet, and said, "Everyone else's family is here, you still get out of the way, remember that you are young and ignorant, and his family will punish you lightly." ”

"Young and ignorant, huh." Chen Yuan sneered and grabbed the longevity lock on the child's body.

"Ah, what are you doing?" The woman was angry.

Chen Yuan was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "I'll tell you a secret." He raised his voice and said to everyone, "Everyone heard it, just now this man called this woman Fang Niangzi, and the child's father's surname is Tang." ”

"yes, we all heard that, so what?"

"Longevity lock, longevity lock, Fang Niangzi, you have asked so many gods and Buddhas for your child, I don't know if you have engraved the child's surname or name on the lock." As we all know, the longevity lock is a traditional Chinese tradition, mostly ornaments made of metal or gold and silver, showing the appearance of ancient locks, which was particularly popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties. The significance of this is to lock the child's life and prevent the invasion and harm of the child by the plague spirit.

Poor families would use copper coins, cloth, and silk thread to make them, while rich and noble families would use gold, which was so valuable that in order to distinguish them from other children, they were afraid of getting confused when playing together, and in order to let the gods and Buddhas directly bless their children, they would engrave their surnames or names on the back of the lock.

Fang Niangzi's face changed drastically, and she wanted to snatch the lock.

Where did Chen Yuan give her a chance, and turned the opposite side of the lock towards everyone, and sure enough, on the back of the lock, there was a seal with the word "蹇".

"Let's see, is this the word 'Tang'?"

There were people in the crowd who knew how to read, and shouted: "It's not the word 'Tang', I recognize the word 'Tang', but I don't know this word." ”

As soon as they heard this, there was a "boom", and the onlookers were in an uproar.

Chen Yuanyi sneered at the woman: "This, how do you explain it." ”

The woman took two steps back, and her face was already yellow.

She has abducted and sold many children, although there are times when she misses, most of them are discovered by other people's family members in time, and she has never fallen into the hands of such a weak-crowned scholar.

"Stop, abduct and sell children, lose all conscience, arrest her and go to the official."

"Yes, arrest them and go to the officials." The crowd was already filled with righteous indignation.

Many of them are also parents, and they can understand the pain and heartache of those parents whose own flesh and blood have been abducted and destroyed. How many fathers have been tormented by this pain and turned pale overnight; How many mothers have been stimulated by such pain to become insane; How many parents have been devastated since then, and how many families have given up everything in search of their lost flesh and blood, and are frantically searching for their flesh and blood. All this suffering is the work of this beast in front of you.

The woman was frightened and frightened, and suddenly "Ah! With a scream, he threw the child in his hand at Chen Yuan, and took the opportunity to run away. The two stood very close, and Chen Yuan hurriedly intercepted the child.

"brute!"

"Kill this trafficker!"

The onlookers angrily gathered around the woman, and the man surnamed Yu also saw that the situation was not good and wanted to flee, where did the people let them go, countless pairs of fists had already hit him with their heads and faces, and everyone vented their anger at him, venting their hatred for oppression and evil.

The little guy sucked a finger and looked at himself with a pair of innocent eyes, he was not afraid, nor did he cry, Chen Yuan smiled at him, flicked his fleshy nose, and the little guy actually giggled.

"Okay, folks, don't fight!" Chen Yuan walked over with the child in his arms and stopped everyone, "Kill people to pay for their lives, folks, it's not cost-effective to put us in prison for a mad person, let's send them to the government." ”

"Okay, Chen Xianggong has a point, fight and fight, don't fold ourselves in."

Everyone agreed, and volunteered to escort the two traffickers to the government. Chen Yuan was surrounded by them in the middle, and the child was in his arms, lying quietly, with an occasional "gac". Chen Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart, I don't know if I fell in love with you, you little guy still doesn't recognize life, if you didn't make noise just now, you wouldn't know your fate for a long time.

The Jiangning official mansion is in the west of the city, and the county commander is called Wei Chikong, a literati in his forties.

Chen Yuan and the people saw the county government with the eyes of two traffickers, and they could see the two big stone lions at the entrance of the yamen from a distance.

"The yamen will do things, get out of the way, and those who stand in the way will be escorted into the lobby and wait." Wei Chi County's face was full of anxiety, and he was blocked by the crowd and scolded sharply.
