As soon as the three words of trafficker came out, the middle-aged man's eyes shrank instantly, and he subconsciously wanted to run, but Jia Shiyi held down his shoulder, making him unable to move.

Jia Cong smiled and said quietly, "It seems that I guessed right, master! In that case, then the master will give you a shackle, and I will take this girl away, and see if I can find her biological parents!"

At this time, one of the sufferers stepped forward and said to Jia Cong, "This little prince, in Xia Feng Yuan, has signed a contract with this person, agreeing to pass through the door in three days. In any case, there is a contract to prove that this girl is already a person under her, and I hope that the little boy will not cause trouble again......

Jia Congli ignored Feng Yuan and motioned for his soldiers to take Zhen Yinglian back.

Unexpectedly, Feng Yuan impulsively stepped forward to stop him, and even grabbed Zhen Yinglian's sleeve, almost pulling her down.

Jia Shiyi hit Feng Yuan's arm with a scabbard, and scolded loudly: "Presumptuous! How dare you be rude in front of Lord Chino!"

Wow!

Such a small thousand-household official!

The crowd of onlookers was in an uproar instantly, there are few people in Jinling City who can be called a thousand households, not to mention that this little fat man obviously speaks the official language of the capital, and there is still a big difference between him and Wu Yin.

Feng Yuan let go of his hand in pain, but he was still in front of Jia Cong. Chongwen Academy advocates the idea of suppressing martial arts with literature, and thousands of officials are only five grades, how can he be afraid.

What's more, the child in front of him is only eight or nine years old, how can he make meritorious deeds, it must be those noble children who are full of fat brains who have been rewarded by virtue of the grace of their ancestors.

How could we saint disciples be afraid of vulgar martial artists?

Feng Yuan was about to speak, when a scholar next to him shook his head: "Brother Feng has asked this girl earlier, this person is indeed her father. And the contract has been established, according to the laws of Great Xia, this girl is already Brother Feng's person. Thou art a thousand-digit householder, and thou shalt walk according to the law."

Another scholar also joined in, looked at Jia Cong with disdain, and sneered, "Yes, yes, what about Qianhu? Could it be that the Lord of a Thousand Households dares to act against the law? Wealth cannot be Yin, and power cannot be bent. Our saint disciples will not be afraid just because you are a high-ranking official, and we are bound to have a good discussion with the Lord of a Thousand Households......

"Zheng!"

Jia Cong directly pulled out the Yanling knife on his waist, and the cold light flashed against the throat of the last scholar who spoke.

The cold touch made the man immediately shut up, and subconsciously shivered. The rest of the people were also silent, especially after the sword pierced the scholar's skin, they screamed in fright.

"Blood! Blood! I'm bleeding!"

The scholar who was held against Jia Cong with a knife was dizzy, and his lower body was instantly soaked, and he was scared to pee his pants on the street.

Poof!

Jia Cong couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw this person's performance, put the knife back into its sheath and said to Xue Pan, "Brother Xue, guess what I just thought?"

Xue Pan looked confused, and asked suspiciously, "What?"

Jia Cong looked at the Qinhuai River, which was flowing endlessly to the east, withdrew his smile, his face became solemn, and he sighed and said three words: "The water is too cold!"

Of course, Xue Pan didn't know what the water represented if it was too cold, but Jia Cong was full of emotion.

He said to Jia Shiyi: "Go find someone from Jinling Mansion to come over, let them investigate this matter, since it is a human trafficker, there will definitely not be only this one victim." ….

Jia Shiyi looked at the scholars who were still trembling, pointed at them with disdain and asked, "Little Third Master, what about these scholars?"

"There is no harm if there is no trade, they themselves have said that they will act according to the law, so they will hand it over to Jinling Mansion together......

Jia Cong hurriedly said this, and suddenly remembered what he said, Xue Pan was also one of the buyers.

He said apologetically to Xue Pan, "But Brother Xue is afraid that he will have to suffer once......

……

Speaking of which, the prefect of Jinling is still an old acquaintance of the Jia family, and maybe it was really a family five hundred years ago.

Jia Yucun, named, word Shifei, alias Yucun.

Born in the second class of Jinshi, he was dismissed for corruption and favoritism in the past, and was later hired to the Lin family, serving as Daiyu's enlightenment teacher, borrowing the relationship with Lin Ruhai

Attached to the Rongguo Mansion.

With the help of Jia Zheng, he was reinstated, and it has been several years since he was promoted to the prefect of Jinling.

When he saw Jia Cong's official voucher that Jia Shiyi took out, he immediately remembered the experience of groveling in the front hall of Rongguo Mansion.

This is a memory that he, a fourth-grade official born in Jinshi, can't bear, but unfortunately his official is not big enough now to fight against a behemoth like Rongguofu.

Jia Yucun secretly took a deep breath, and asked with a smile on his face: "Since Third Master Cong has come to Jinling, why don't you come to find Zaixia, so that Zai Xia can do his best to be a landlord." Otherwise, wouldn't it be annoying to let the pardon and the political prince know that they failed to take care of the third master Cong?"

"Lord Hui, the third master received the will of the saint and went to visit Mrs. Fengsheng. Later, I met Mrs. Xue again, you should also know that Mrs. Xue is my in-law, and the elders are invited, and it is not easy for the little third master to refuse."

Jia Shiyi felt uncomfortable from the moment he saw Jia Yucun, and resisted the urge to cut this person and said, "It's important that the adult still handles the case first, if he hadn't been bumped into by the little third master, this trafficker would have really succeeded!" By the way, that girl was taken to the Xue family by the third master, and if the adults need to try the case, they can let someone come to the Xue family to pass on the message."

……

The originally scheduled matter of listening to the music failed, and he was charged with buying and selling human beings, and Xue Pan felt that the whole person was not good.

He asked aggrievedly, "Brother Cong, brother, I didn't offend you, why did you cut me?"

"Daxia Law, a little man sold into slavery and maid, regardless of the first offender and the accomplice, was punished with a hundred rods and three thousand li; and any of them shall be punished with a hundred rods and three years' imprisonment for any of his wife or concubine. If a child from a good family is resold in the name of adoption or transfer of a house, it shall be punished in accordance with the crime of selling the person. and those who tempt and sell their beloveds as slaves and maidservants shall be given a hundred rods and three years' imprisonment. and he shall be a wife and a concubine and a child with ninety rods, and two and a half years."

Jia Cong drank all the tea in the cup, first arched his hand apologetically to Mrs. Xue and Xue Baochai, and then explained to Xue Pan: "And it is stipulated that the punishment for those who are tempted must also be reduced by one degree, Brother Xue, do you understand?"

Bactria called the act of using violence or deception to deprive others of their liberty and make them in a state of enslavement, and the act of selling the population of the population was called "selling people".

To put it simply, the trafficker is severely punished by the law, and the buyer is also punished by one degree. The children of wealthy families like Xue Pan are no exception, at most, because they don't know, they pay money to atone for their crimes, and they are exempted from the punishment of exile and confiscation. ….

Where did Xue Pan understand this, as soon as he heard that he would not only have to fight the board but also be exiled to the army, he immediately became anxious.

"Hey, Brother Cong, I really don't know. Not only was the silver given to the trafficker, but he was also beaten by those sour scholars. Look, look, it's still bleeding!"

Mrs. Xue felt sorry for her son, and she also complained a little about Jia Cong's extraneous branches. But in the end, he was quite sensible, and he didn't say anything unpleasant under Xue Baochai's whispered comfort.

Jia Cong soothed, "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet......

After listening to Jia Cong's explanation, the three of the Xue family, mother and son, understood Jia Cong's plan.

"Auntie, I wouldn't have made a big deal out of this matter originally, but the person my nephew saw today told me that behind the Chongwen Academy are the three major chambers of commerce. They have been fighting the Xue family's idea, so it is better to take this opportunity to try the bottom of the three major general chambers of commerce. Anyway, compared to those scholars who obviously know, Brother Xue will be hit with the board a few times at most, don't you say?"

Of course, Mrs. Xue knew that the three major chambers of commerce had been fighting the Xue family's idea, but in the end, it was a woman in the house, and she would always hesitate and make up her mind when it came to her son.

Instead, Xue Baochai on the side clenched his fists and persuaded softly: "Brother Cong is right, I have asked people to inquire, and one of the people who is with that Feng Yuan today is Qian Qianyi's grandson. The Qian family doesn't deal with us, anyway, my brother has rough skin and thick meat, and he just gets in the way of a few boards. Let's make a big deal and see what tricks his Qian family will make!"

With Jia Cong behind his back, the Xue family didn't fight back, and when Jia Cong left, how could the Xue family withstand the joint persecution of the three major general chambers of commerce.

Do you really want to go north to the capital to avoid disasters and survive?

The weak Mrs. Xue can bear it, how can the proud Xue Baochai bear it?

She bowed to Jia Cong Yingying: "The Xue family now only has orphans and widows, and the enemy is strong, so I asked Brother Cong to help my family survive the crisis, Baochai is grateful!"

Jia Cong hurriedly jumped up, avoided the side and waved his hand repeatedly: "Hey, what is Sister Xue doing? Didn't you slap me in the face? Get up, get up...... Auntie, please persuade Sister Xue ......"

Xue Baochai deserved to have exquisite thoughts, and seized the opportunity to set Jia Cong up.

However, Jia Cong also intended to make a move, firstly, he hated human traffickers the most, and secondly, he remembered Lin Ruhai, who was still fighting back against salt merchants in Yangzhou.

This group of lawless merchants in Jiangnan has become a cancer restricting the development of the country, not only salt merchants, but also all over the Jiangnan prefectures.

And the three major general chambers of commerce, which monopolized the major commercial banks in Jiangnan, once added fuel to the fire. After all, salt leads to this thing, which businessman is not tempted?

How can I say that it is also Sister Lin's father-in-law, his father-in-law of the third master, since you dare to stab the knife, then the young master might as well fight with you with a bayonet!

Mrs. Xue couldn't resist her daughter, so she also listened to Baochai's persuasion, and nodded in agreement with Jia Cong's plan. Just as Jia Cong and Baochai were discussing the details, Jia Shiyi sent the latest information.

Wei Song, as the head snake of the ground, only took two hours to find out the details of this human trafficker. I don't know if I don't check, but it really shocks Wei Song's heart when I check it.

After reading Wei Song's handwritten letter, Jia Cong was overjoyed and full of anger.

"This damn Li Xun, what kind of black money he dares to make! With such money that damages yin virtue and loses his conscience, can he sleep at night with it?"

Jia Cong, who was involved in the case, walked out of the main hall and beckoned to his soldiers: "Uncle Eleven, follow the clues given by Uncle Wei to investigate, and rescue those poor people first." Remember, those traffickers tried their best to catch them alive, and Li Xun's dog killed me!"
