There were many people standing in the silent court, but no one spoke, and this state lasted for a long time.

Syllable~

In this extremely oppressive atmosphere, those traffickers were already trembling with fright, and the town lord slapped the wood harder, and one of the traffickers who was not very bold was stunned on the spot.

"Huh, wake up!" Even though the trafficker had fainted, the town owner did not intend to let him go, and ordered the trafficker to wake him up quickly.

But this wake-up call is not usually asleep, someone is pushing and shouting on the side to wake up.

I saw a catcher holding a horsewhip, came to the fainting trafficker, held the horsewhip in his hand, and snapped...... A few lashes were drawn.

"Ah...... Ahhh......h It hurt so much that the trafficker couldn't stop howling.

Li Tian was very comfortable at this scene, and he really hoped that he would catch the traffickers a few more whips!

"Let me ask you first, who is the leader among you?" The townsman asked the trafficker who had been stunned and woken up.

"This ...... Our big brother...... Go out...... I'm out on errands! "The trafficker didn't dare to say who the organizers were, and lied that the trafficker leader had gone somewhere else and wasn't there.

"Hehe, okay, another hundred lashes! See if you know" When the town lord heard this, he didn't talk nonsense, and ordered with a sneer.

Since he doesn't want to tell the truth and is willing to be beaten, let's beat him up first!

"No!" Two catchers came up next to him, each with a horsewhip in his hand, and after kicking the trafficker to the ground, one stood aside and prepared to fight.

The trafficker had seen this kind of formation, and he had been whipped a few times just now, and his back was already hot, and most of them had already drawn blood, and if he had been whipped a hundred more times, he would not have been whipped to death!

The trafficker immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying that the leader was among them, and he also intended to identify him, and only begged the town lord to spare him for lying and not to beat him again.

Seeing this, several other traffickers had mixed thoughts in their hearts, and at this time, the strong man trafficker stood up and threatened that he was the leader.

Hearing this, several other traffickers nodded yes.

Even the trafficker, who was about to be beaten with a hundred lashes, said that the leader was a strong man. I was still muttering something like that, big brother, I'm sorry for you......

If Li Tian hadn't gone to the largest tent to see the conversation between the strong man and the real trafficker leader, Li Tian Bacheng would have believed the strong man's words.

After all, the strong man is so burly, at first glance, he is a good fighter, and in some gangs, only those who can fight in this way can be the leader.

But the trafficker gang in front of me didn't know what was going on, and it was actually a thin and weak person who was very inconspicuous in the crowd to be the boss.

The town lord had asked Li Tian before, and he also knew that the leader of the traffickers was definitely not this strong man.

The town lord ignored the strong man who stood up, and still ordered him to beat the trafficker who had fainted before with a hundred lashes.

This time, it frightened the trafficker who had fainted before.

I thought the lord knew who the boss was, but I wanted him to identify him.

This trafficker gritted his teeth, in order not to be killed now, then confess, life matters!

The traffickers who had fainted before were also frightened by the fierce gaze cast by the real leader, but they still dared to identify the real leader.

After all, it doesn't mean that you can be killed on the spot, so let's talk about it later!

After the real human trafficker leader was found out, he didn't quibble, and confessed all the crimes he had committed.

Including how to instruct his subordinates to kidnap women and children from various places, as well as the original intention of digging tunnels.

Some of the traffickers said it, some didn't.

He didn't say a word about bribing the former town guard of the East Gate before, apparently, the trafficker leader thought that those people might take advantage of him.

The traffickers only said part of what they said about which families would buy those daughters and children from him, and they didn't dare to say anything about some powerful people.

In addition, some of the behind-the-scenes buyers, traffickers do not know the origin, as long as the connector is a person he is familiar with, he does not care where those women or children are sold next.

When the Lord asks how the trafficker leader is so thin and still in charge of the entire gang.

The trafficker also made it clear.

It turned out that the reason why he was able to form such a gang and recruit many good men was because only with his existence could the entire trafficker gang operate.

Those who trade only recognize him, and others do not recognize him.

The trafficker leaders have dealt with them for many years, and they can trade with each other very safely, and if they are contacted by someone else, even if they have good quality "goods", those people will not be able to deal with them, for fear of problems.

It is precisely because of this that he can't do it that his subordinates can convince him and recruit subordinates like a strong man.

When the town owner asks from above, the traffickers answer from below, and they are very cooperative.

The traffickers also do this to reduce some of the punishment.

Because according to the previous practice, the crime of human trafficking does not lead to death, and it is released after a few years in prison.

It was this private digging of the tunnel that made him feel bottomless, and he didn't know how the town lord would judge.

But he clearly saw that he had explained to the town lord that he was digging tunnels just to transport those women out of the city, and the town lord's brows were soothed, not as nervous as before.

This also reassures traffickers that it shouldn't be a big problem.

After the town owner asked the traffickers about their crimes, he asked the civil officer who recorded the case to read the interrogation record in front of the traffickers.

The trafficker leader is also a veteran, having gone through these processes before, and he knows that after that, he will be put in prison, imprisoned or sent out to hard labor, and after a few years he will be released.

Thinking of this, the leader of the traffickers glanced at Li Tian viciously, thinking that after a few years, he must find out this kid and torture him before he dies.

However, things have developed beyond the expectations of the trafficker leaders.

After several traffickers finished drawing their handprints, the town owner announced that he would behead these traffickers on the street tomorrow!

The trafficker leaders thought they had misheard.

He saw that several traffickers around him began to kneel on the ground and beg the town lord to spare their lives, and then he knew that he heard it right, the town lord really wanted to execute them!

At this moment, the leader of the traffickers panicked and shouted that he was not convinced!

Human trafficking does not lead to death, it has been like this for so long, and his tunnel has not been dug through, and now it is a longer cellar at best, so why should he be executed.

At the moment, the leader of the traffickers shouted that he was not convinced!

These traffickers are truly incredible, abducting and selling people, fighting in the streets, and mutilating others, one by one, without mercy.

When he was about to be put to death, he longed for mercy from others to spare his life.

When he did all the bad things, why didn't he think of sparing the lives of others?

If the catchers don't go in time today, Uncle Li Tianwang may have died tragically at their hands, and Xiao En doesn't know what fate he will face.

How did they have the face to say the words begging for their lives?

However, this is also the purpose of the town owner.

The town owner really didn't plan to really put them to death, if they had been put in the past, they would have been killed, and they could also calm some public anger and make an example of them.

But now that the mine is so short of manpower, these traffickers can also help.

The lord of the town, on the pretext of sparing their lives, sent them to the mines, and set them the number of tasks that must be completed every day, and if they failed to do so, they would be put to death.

Under this routine of beating a stick and then giving a sweet date, the traffickers are treated obediently, and one by one they promise to work hard.

In the end, these traffickers are sent to the mines according to the standards of death row prisoners, and if they do not meet the task for a day, they will be executed.

Only when the treasure is dug up can it be possible to lighten the work a little like other prisoners and not be executed. But they had to stay in the mines for the rest of their lives, and even if they weren't executed, they had no freedom.

After this moment of rest, Uncle Wang also woke up and was taken to the court.

After the town lord has dealt with those traffickers, it is time to deal with the affairs of Uncle Wang and Li Tian.

In the end, the town lord's sentence to Li Tian and Uncle Wang was also to send them to the mine for mining.

But Li Tian and Uncle Wang are much better than the traffickers, the traffickers will never come back, Li Tian and Uncle Wang, they can come back after digging the mine for three months. And you don't have to carry bracelets and anklets to mine like other prisoners.

In fact, the two of them are less paid than the workers who voluntarily signed up to mine, and there is no difference in the rest.

Uncle Wang and the shopkeeper were very satisfied with this result, knowing that this was the kindness of the town lord, and did not delve too deeply.

The shopkeeper and Uncle Wang hurriedly pulled Li Tian to thank him.

In fact, Li Tian was still a little dissatisfied with the town lord's verdict.

According to Li Tian's thoughts, he and Uncle Wang are not guilty, they want to save Xiao En, and they are forced to resist in the face of the threat of human traffickers.

Although he killed someone, he killed a person who deserved to die, and he must not be guilty.

But that's not what the law says.

Xiao En is lost, Li Tian and Uncle Wang can come to the government to report the case, and the arresters can look for it.

Like Li Tian and Uncle Wang, they ran to find someone and carried a knife, and finally caused a fight and killed two people, even if it was out of resistance, but after all, it was murder.

And at that time, there were no other eyewitnesses in that place except them, and Li Tian and the traffickers had their own opinions.

Li Tian said that the traffickers hurt people first, and the traffickers said that Li Tian hurt people first.

Murder is always punished.

Otherwise, in the future, someone killed a person in a secluded and uninhabited place, and said that he was out of resistance and had no sin. If everybody is like that, then the whole town is in shambles.

In the absence of on-site witnesses, the town owner chose to believe Uncle Wang and Li Tian, which had already given Tianxiang Restaurant a lot of face.

This is the end of the case.

The town owner then gave extrajudicial grace again, allowing the shopkeeper to take Li Tian, Uncle Wang, and Xiao En back to Tianxiang Restaurant first, and let Uncle Wang recuperate first, and then report to the mine after three days.

On the way back, it was already a little dark, and there was only a little afterglow shining on the road ahead.

Since Xiao Enya hadn't eaten for a day, she was hungry and couldn't walk the road at this time, so Li Tian carried her back.

Li Tian contributed a lot today, found Xiao En, fought with the traffickers, went to the Yamen with Uncle Wang on his back, and now went back with Xiao En on his back.

It was a little dark, Xiao En girl should be a little scared, one hand tightly hugged Li Tian from behind, and the other hand pulled the sleeve of his father next to him and didn't let go.

Li Tian was on his back was Xiao En's girl, next to him was Uncle Wang, and next to Uncle Wang was the shopkeeper who was supporting him, and the group of four people was slowly walking forward in the afterglow with each other's support.

To outsiders, this scene is very warm.

These things experienced today have distracted Li Tian a lot, and also diluted Li Tian's grief a lot, Sister Fang Li's ugliness must be repaid, but she must also live the current life, which is also Sister Fang Li's wish before she died.

Li Tian was now hesitant about the idea of arranging his family to the town.

My younger brothers and sisters are still young, and when I really bring my family to the town, my younger brothers and sisters will be abducted by traffickers one day, what should I do?

The human trafficker gang has only been wiped out now, but there must be other forces in the north of the town, and if there are any more desperate ones, how can the parents live.

Although life at home is more difficult now, in this era of not being peaceful, the family can live together in a reunion, which is already very happy.
