"Tell me about the abduction. You shouldn't have been ten years old at that time, right?Can you remember some details?" asked Su Yi.

If Song Qiuyun has any reason to keep him, it is nothing more than a clue that Song Qiuxiao still has human traffickers.

"Of course I do, I can't forget it in my life. Song Haoxiao gritted her teeth and said.

"At that time, a few people dressed as officials deceived us away, saying that something very serious happened in the family and the government was dealing with it, so they would take care of us for a while on behalf of the adults in the family. ”

"You should be able to recognize the officials of the Jindong Yamen, how can you let people be deceived?" Song Qiuyun frowned.

"They didn't pretend to be Jindong's officials, but as soon as they came up, they claimed to be foreign officials, and they just went to Jindong to handle cases. Because he was not familiar with the place, he could only stay to watch the children, and the task of handling the case was handed over to the people of Jindong Yamen to do. What they said was very true, and they could tell the names of several of us, what our families were like, and even the situation of the Goddess Palace knew a lot. We children were a little scared just talking to the officials, let alone questioning their identities. ”

"Could it be that this matter is still related to the government, otherwise why would they know everything about them?" Yin Chuchu wondered.

"This is not necessarily, Jindong said that it is not big, and it is not small. There are many ways to get that information, and you don't have to go through the government. Song Qiuyun said.

Su Yi seemed to smell a hint of something strange, and emphasized: "Say all the details you can think of, as long as you still remember, no matter how big or small, say it again." ”

Song Haoxiao knew the importance of this matter, pursed her lips, began to meditate, and said: "Later, we were placed in a small mansion, and I still remember that place, because I know the owner of the mansion. Senior sister, do you still remember the vegetable stall you frequented when you were shopping for the palace? The house we stayed in was the stall owner, Aunt Li's. Because they are in the homes of people we know, we believe in their official status even more. Now that I think about it, there are still some doubts, such as why Aunt Li's family didn't show up until we left. ”

Su Yi and the others all exchanged glances with each other, and the doubts in their hearts were self-evident. Isn't this kind of operation the same as the method used by Changle Firm to imprison Zhang Xiaoyun?

Song Qiuyun said: "In the government's investigation, there is nothing suspicious about Aunt Li's family. ”

Su Yi nodded slightly, no longer entangled in this, and said, "You continue." ”

"Then they made up another reason, and I remember it seemed to say... Our family is out of town, so we want to go with us. We were convinced that they would believe everything they said, so we got into the carriage with them. After leaving the city, I didn't know which direction to go. It wasn't until we became suspicious and asked where we were going that they began to be vague and confuse people. The others are coaxing, but I'm not that stupid. From then on, I knew they weren't good people and started looking for an opportunity to escape. ”

"The man who escorted the carriage was the same as those who pretended to be officials?"

Whenever he had any doubts, Su Yi had to interrupt Song Haoxiao, for fear that if he missed it, he would not be able to remember it later.

Song Haoxiao thought about it for a while, and then replied: "It shouldn't be." When we got away, they finally let us get out of the carriage, and I never saw those officials again. ”

Song Qiuyun saw that Su Yi had been frowning, and his fingers kept turning the teacup, obviously thinking about something, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm guessing, of course, just guessing, and it's yet to be verified. pretending to be an official and abducting people may have nothing to do with the Changle semicolon. But most of the people who took them out of the city were people with the Changle semicolon. In other words, it is a Wanzhou trade name. To conceal the city defense and quietly transport a large number of people out of Jindong, the only thing I can think of is this big business. The city defense and the county yamen do not interfere with each other, and this matter may not even be possible for the county magistrate. ”

Since he had a certain understanding of the Changle business, Su Yi was finally able to speculate on some things based on the information he had obtained, and he no longer had to rely on imagination as he did at the beginning.

"Then why can't the abductor also be a person with a Changle semicolon?" Yin Chuchu asked.

At least for now, Wan Qingxiang doesn't seem to be happy to do this kind of thing himself. If you just do the work of transferring 'goods', even if the matter is revealed, it will be much easier to explain. It's just that a group of people are sent from Jindong to Cangzhou, what can the government do with him?"

Yin Chuchu pursed his lips and muttered, "What a profiteer." ”

"How did you escape?" asked Su Yi again.

Song Haoxiao suddenly blushed a little, and said ashamedly: "I... I didn't escape, it was Lin Huanzhi who bought me. ”

Several people were stunned and couldn't understand, and they didn't say anything for a long time.

Su Yi was the first to come back to his senses and asked, "He... Isn't it the leader of the Righteous Riders? Although he doesn't look like he is old, he is indeed on the wanted warrant, and he can't fake it. And, since he's already bought you, why are those people besieging you?"

"After Lin Huanzhi bought me, he wanted to let me go. I was puzzled and asked him why. He said that there was no reason, but that he looked at me pitifully and couldn't imagine me suffering. He also asked me if I had any wishes, and I told me about the Righteous Ride. He was very happy when he heard it, saying that he hit it off with me and wanted to work hard with me and do something big. Then we started recruiting men, and he was much older than me, and he became the leader. The first thing the Justice Rider did after it was built was to find those who had also been abducted from Jindong and rescue them. That's why we've been retaliated against..."

This sounds to others to be a love story of "a man is willing to fall into the grass in order to pursue his beloved", but Song Qixiao is as light as white water when he says it.

In Su Yi's opinion, although what Lin Huanzhi did could be called infatuation, it was a bit redundant, and even too numb. As everyone knows, he may not be much more bland than Lin Huanzhi when he treats emotional matters.

Su Yi coughed dryly and said, "Ask you a question, don't you see it... This Lin Huanzhi, he's interesting to you, right?"

"What do you mean interesting?" Song Qixiao asked rhetorically.

"That is, he actually wants to marry you. ”

"He has already bought me, if he wants to marry me, it would be good to take me home directly, why do so many things?" Song Haoxiao still puzzled.

Su Yi somewhat understood, it turned out that in her eyes, Lin Huanzhi did not directly show love to her, which meant that there was no love. Such speculation is reasonable, but it is completely unreasonable.

"It's... Concubine Xian, you can explain. Su Yi hurriedly kicked the problem to Concubine Xi. After being a listener for so long, at this time, a question suddenly came, Concubine Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Little junior sister, you don't have to worry about anything else, you just need to know that Lin Huanyi must have a bad idea of you, it's enough." ”

This is also straightforward, very in the style of Concubine Xi.

After some contemplation, Song Xiaoxiao replied: "Even if it is, I don't think anything wrong about him anyway." ”

Several people couldn't help but mourn for Lin Huanzhi in their hearts. Although this man looks cowardly and has the feeling of a hypocrite, he is not a lover. In order to capture the heart of a strange woman, it is unique to be able to do this.

Song Haoxiao seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked, "Master, then does my relationship with Lin Huanzhi rely on men?"

"Hmm... Hmm, who's your master?"

Song Haoxiao changed her words again: "That brother, you answer my question just now." ”

Su Yi didn't expect that she would start to be more serious about the remarks she said about "women".

"He who does not know is not guilty. Su Yi replied.

Song Haoxiao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said: "Even so, I still have to pay him back in full." ”

"Not to mention Lin Huanzhi," Su Yi said again, "You just said that you were retaliated against when you rescued Jindong's companions, have you found out the details of those people?"

Song Haoxiao shook her head and said: "Those people never dared to intercept us openly, they seemed to be afraid of our identities. It is precisely because there are very few head-to-head confrontations that we can always be safe. In fact, the more I got to the end, the more I felt that they didn't really want to catch us, but they didn't want us to leave the Cangzhou area. It's like there's a line, as long as we don't cross it, they won't chase after it. ”

This approach is in line with Wan Qingxiang's style. Anyway, the "goods" have been handed over, as long as there is not too much movement, how to toss between the "buyer" and the "goods" has nothing to do with them. And as long as Song Haoxiao's "goods" do not go back, they can achieve the effect of saving effort and doing things.

Song Xiaoxiao continued: "But we found a clue about the buyer. ”

"Is it Song Yuyu's?"

"No, it is said that the biggest buyer on this trip was Li Congda, the magistrate of Zhu County at that time. In order to get on the throne, he didn't know out where he heard that the prefect of Canghe Mansion had some special habits, so he bought many boys and girls in our group of Jindong and bribed the adult. We came to Zhu County this time to investigate the matter and see if there are any clues that can lead us to find those compatriots who were bought. ”

"How can you find out such a secret thing?" Su Yi frowned. It's not that he doesn't believe in Song Haoxiao's ability, but it's too strange that just a few children can get in touch with official things.

Fortunately, Song Haoxiao is very real, not greedy for merit at all, hearing Su Yi say this, he thought about it again before correcting: "Speaking of which, this matter was actually told to me by Lin Huanzhi." He said that this was the news he had painstakingly investigated, and I did not doubt it much. ”

This Lin Huanzhi doesn't seem to be simple, Su Yi said in his heart.

He stood up suddenly, pacing back and forth. Some of the intertwined clues in the brain need to be straightened out urgently, and several key points are also looming, flickering and dark. It was close in front of him, but when he stretched out his hand, it was farther away, which made him scratch his ears and cheeks, and he was miserable.
