Chapter 453: Arrest and Arrest

As time passed, twilight gradually enveloped the earth, and a faint mist rose above the lake, and the night breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness, accompanied by a pungent smell of blood. Otters

When all the traffickers were arrested and brought to justice, Li Si led the officers and soldiers, as well as some resolute women with torches, and inspected Yanghu from beginning to end to ensure that no one was left alive.

Soon, a terrible statistic was counted, more than 700 women were abducted and trafficked in Yanghu, and more than 200 of them had died or committed suicide after being rescued.

Li Si had always thought that the most trafficked people in Yanghu were Wei people, but after statistics, he found that the most trafficked people were Zhao people, and they were from Linhe County.

Nearly one-third of the more than 700 people are natives of Linhe County, and think about it, how can a group of human traffickers, who are not even as good as animals, have mercy on their fellow villagers.

Before, Li Si still had some hope for the officials of Zhao State, thinking that it was at least better than Chu State, but now he is completely disappointed, the world is as black as a crow, without the protection of this group of officials, this group of human traffickers will definitely not be able to do this.

In addition to this, the officers and soldiers also found some money, accounts and letters.

Li Si opened the letter and found that Yanghuli not only colluded with officials of Zhao State, but even with officials of Weiguo, Wei State, and Qi State, and many officials and squires of the three countries assisted Yanghuli in trafficking human beings. Otters

The exchange of interests in it is so amazing that it's hard to imagine that it's just a thing to do.

Judging by the handwriting, these letters should all have been written by a single person.

But it's normal, it's good to be able to produce one or two literate people, and if everyone is literate, either they can't do this kind of thing, or they do more than that.

"Bring them all back, try them one by one, be sure to arrest everyone, and never let go of a single trafficker." Li Si walked up to the group of women and bowed deeply, "It was Zhao Guo who failed to protect you, and this official hereby apologizes to you. I don't want to mention your past, but if you have any clues about trafficking, please let me know as soon as possible."

"My lord, grass...... The grass people know that a person can be a human trafficker." A man dressed in coarse cloth clothes and bare feet squeezed out of the crowd, glanced at Li Si, and quickly lowered his head, rubbing his hands in front of him, looking a little overwhelmed.

Xiulan grabbed the man's right arm and bowed to Li Si, "Xiulan, thank you for saving your life."

The man's name is Liang, who is Xiulan's father, and after Li Si rescued Xiulan, he sent someone to Weiguo to pick Liang over in order to testify as a witness. Otters

But in the end, it didn't work, and after the order of the imperial court and the appointment letter of the four countries, there was no need for such trouble.

Not to mention a group of traffickers who have no official position, even officials, Li Si can cut it first and then play.

"It's me Zhao Guo who is sorry for you, how can I talk about saving my life." Li Si shook his head, walked in front of Liang, and bowed, "If there is a clue from someone trafficker, please tell Si, Si is grateful."

"Lord Yu, this person is in the ...... of defending the country" Liang showed a look of embarrassment on his face, he wanted to arrest the traffickers more than anyone else, and it was best to be able to cut them with a thousand knives, but Li Si was a Zhao State official, how could he manage the affairs of the country. ….

"This official has been appointed as a special envoy by the four countries of Zhao Qi and Wei Wei, and he is fully responsible for this matter, not to mention in the country of Wei, even in the country of Qi, this official will also bring people to arrest human traffickers." Li Si held the seal of the four countries and said loudly.

It's both telling Ryo and telling other people.

Some people are afraid of being retaliated against by traffickers afterwards, and even if they know, they dare not say that Li Si is just to let them have no worries. Otters

With Li Si's assurance, Liang hurriedly told the information he knew, and everyone also spoke.

According to the letter and what everyone said, Li Si learned that there are still a few miles in Linhe County that make a living from human trafficking, which is not much concession than in Zhiyang Lake.

In addition to this, officials, squires, merchants, and some prominent families were involved.

There were also many officials and squires in Qi and Wei who colluded with Yanghuli, and the women they abducted and trafficked not only sold to bachelors as wives, but also sold them to Onoze, where there were many bandits who had no wives.

You can only buy a wife from outside.

When the Qi State was strong, it once severely cracked down on the Onozawa water bandits, so that the Onozawa water bandits disappeared for a time, and later the Qi State declined and was unable to govern, and the Onozawa water bandits grew like weeds again.

Coupled with the fact that Zhao occupied the west of Jishui, Onozawa became the border between Zhao and Qi, which had a natural advantage for water bandits.

Unless Onozawa belongs to one country in the future, no matter how hard it strikes, it will not be able to finish the blow. Otters

Before leaving, Li Si ordered a fire to burn down the Yang Lake.

The flames soared into the sky, reflecting half of the night sky in a blood-red color, and under the illumination of the raging fire, Li Si took the officers and soldiers and women, and pressed the traffickers towards the county office.

When it was approaching, it should have been quiet in the dead of night, but the people near Yanghu Lake had already received the news, how could they sleep, and the road was full of people on both sides.

Along the way, people kept throwing stones, stinky socks and other objects at the traffickers, and at the same time scolding at them, as for the eggs, they were reluctant to use them to smash the beasts.

The officers and soldiers escorting the traffickers did not look good at them, and from time to time they punched and kicked, and if they walked a little slowly, they would be whipped up.

"Let's not kill them, it's up to them to find out other traffickers." Li Si listened to the voice in his ears, a faint sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned around and admonished.

Doesn't it mean that as long as you don't kill you, nothing else willing? Otters

With Li Si's assurance, everyone is more at ease.

Even some experienced guys began to teach others how to fight more painfully, but without causing damage to the traffickers, the officers and soldiers around them learned very seriously.

"My lord, when did you kill these traffickers? I won't get caught in it, so I'll release it again after a while." A loud voice came from the crowd.

Suddenly, the crowd that had been just angrily cursing the traffickers began to become noisy, and various voices appeared.

"Don't worry, everyone, I, Li Si, hereby promise that all the traffickers will not let go of any of them. When the execution comes, I will tell everyone, so don't forget to come and watch it." Li Si said with his fists clenched.

He understands people's worries very well, and to put it bluntly, they don't trust the government, because the government has done too many things to disappoint them.

Therefore, if Shang Ying wants to change the law, he must move to Lixin, if he can't Lixin, the so-called change is just a flower in the mirror. Otters

Fortunately, the environment of Zhao State is at least much stronger than that of the original Qin State, coupled with Zhao Kuo's efforts for so many years, most of the people are willing to believe in him, and then believe in the government.

"We are relieved to have this word from an adult, and we will not forget it. If you need our help, just ask." A powerful man clenched his fists and said.

"Thank you." Li Si replied.
