The police officers were temporarily seconded to maintain public order in the bustling city, so they walked through a square and entered a place with lanterns. There were many families living here and there were some scattered stalls. They heard the tragic sounds from a distance.
As soon as there was a shout, some people peered in and looked this way.
Man Bao and the others were sweating profusely while controlling the car. Seeing these people was like seeing a savior, and immediately shouted: "Help, help! Quickly, help -"
They didn't see the few people who were tied to the back of the car and were being dragged away. When they saw the little girl driving the car shouting for help, everyone with a sense of justice immediately rushed forward, pushing and shoving.
When Man Bao saw that someone was finally willing to help them, he immediately shouted to the back: "I'm going to stop the car, I'm going to stop the car."
Upon hearing this, the little girl behind immediately reined in the horse. Chang Yu followed closely, but without noticing, he immediately reined in the horse with a "ah" sound, but it was too late. A man pulling behind the second car let out a scream.
stand up.
When Chang Yu heard this, she wanted to pull the horse aside, but she accidentally stepped on another one. She was so angry that she threw away the rope and jumped off the car, showing her temper and saying, "I won't drive any more!"
The man's calf meat was constantly stepped on by the horse's hoof. Fortunately, no bones were stepped on, and only a little flesh was stepped on, but it still hurt.
Chang Yu jumped out of the car, walked up to him with a whip and pointed it at him: "If you scream again, do you believe I will give you a whip?"
The trafficker immediately bit his mouth and did not dare to scream again.
He didn't think being whipped would be more painful than being trampled by a horse, but he was afraid that the horse would be frightened when she whipped it, and if it rushed forward...
The two traffickers who were tied up in the back both had pale faces and did not dare to scream.
The people who were running towards them finally arrived. When they saw the people being dragged behind the carriage, they looked at the girls driving the carriage with bad eyes.
Man Bao immediately explained, "They are all human traffickers. They wanted to gouge out our eyes when they caught us. We managed to escape. Can you, brothers, sisters-in-law, uncles and aunts, help us register as official?"
So everyone looked at the man lying on the ground with bloodstains all over his body, and his eyes didn't look good.
Someone immediately ran away to find the policeman...
At this time, the crowd was finally evacuated, and the guards and palace attendants who were among them also came out in embarrassment to join Bai Shan and the others. As soon as the two parties met, they asked: "Where is the princess?"
Bai Erlang, who had been hiding behind a stall, saw that the street in front of him was a little looser and people could walk normally. He immediately pulled Mingda back to look for someone.
So Bai Shan and the guards looked at each other, and when they were all covered in cold sweat, Bai Erlang came back holding Ming Da's hand, "I'm scared to death, scared to death, you are all here."
As soon as they saw Princess Mingda, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. When they saw her again, her hair was just a little messy. She was fine, and she didn't look frightened. Everyone's hearts settled in their stomachs.
Princess Mingda's maid immediately stepped forward to support her and whispered: "Princess, can we find a place for you to freshen up?"
Bai Shan had already asked, "Where are Man Bao and Princess Chang Yu?"
Bai Erlang said: "They should be fine too."
After all, Manbao has always been reliable.
County Magistrate Tang thought the same thing, but he still sent someone to look for her. However, he was not allowed to call her Princess, but was only allowed to look for her by Zhou Man's name.
"With so many people diverted, will they have left this street?"
Bai Shan looked at the crowd that had gradually dispersed and the injured who were being carried aside because of their injuries. He pursed his lips and said, "Even if she goes out at first, she will come back again. She is a doctor..."
Bai Shan remembered something and immediately said to a guard: "You should go back to our Bai family's lamp shed immediately to see if they have returned there."
The Tang County magistrate also immediately sent people to look for him at various intersections to make sure he was found.
But in less than two-quarters of an hour, information came back from all parties, "They have not returned to the Bai family lamp shed."
"I called from the other side of the three-way intersection, but no one answered."
"Same at the four-way intersection."
"There is no such thing as the fifth intersection."
Then a guard came back carrying an object that had been trampled into shape. He broke into a cold sweat and said, "This seems to be the barbecue carried by Mr. Zhou and Princess Changyu."
Magistrate Tang suddenly turned his head to look at the injured on the side, and asked with a livid face, "Are all the injured here tonight? Are you sure there are no dead people?"
The officer immediately said: "There are no dead people, but two people are seriously injured. They are still being rescued. The doctor from Baicaotang said that it is unlikely to save them."
He immediately said: "But both of them are men."
Bai Shan said: "They will be fine. They must have gone somewhere."
Man Bao is still with his little father-in-law, so he will definitely be fine.
Bai Shan was thinking deeply when suddenly a government servant rushed over and reported: "Sir, families who have lost their children are making trouble in the county government. Now they are asking for human traffickers to see their children. There are not just one family that lost their children, but five families in total. But
Not all of them are lost on this road."
Mr. Tang and Bai Shan couldn't help but look at each other, with some bad premonitions in their hearts.
Those human traffickers can't be so lucky...right?
Mr. Tang felt that his heart was not feeling well, and he immediately said: "Go quickly and block the city gate... No, no, no, we can't block it. Go back to the county government and send these old guys like Lao Lu out and let them go to the three cities."
Stand guard at the gate and let them show off their tactics. Everyone who goes out from the gate of the city will be watched closely by the county. If they think there is any suspicion, they will arrest them all."
"Yes!" The officer took the order and left.
Magistrate Tang stood up and walked back to the spot. Mingda asked, "Do you want to go back to the palace and dispatch some manpower?"
"No!" Magistrate Tang refused. He softened for a moment and said with a smile to Princess Mingda: "Your Royal Highness, my superior is Master Yin. He not only has Jingzhao Mansion, but also the imperial guards.
If you want to dispatch troops and generals, just look for him, there is no need to go back to the palace to look for someone."
If he goes back to the palace to look for someone, he doesn't know if they can find him, but he may not be able to save his head first.
It's better for him to use people from Jingzhao Mansion and Imperial Guard to find them now. It would be faster to go to Yin Li to mobilize troops than to go back to the palace to mobilize troops.
but……
Magistrate Tang pondered, these traffickers may not leave tonight if they arrest them tonight. He would prefer that they hide somewhere and wait for the news to subside before leaving the city...
But the capital is so big, where can he find their hiding place?
Magistrate Tang began to think about the various prostitutes and gangsters under his rule, who might know something about them.
A stern look flashed in Magistrate Tang's eyes, and he was just thinking about whether everyone should live this Mid-Autumn Festival. A guard came trotting over on horseback. He jumped off his horse and reported: "Master Tang, we were in Dongshi when we were ordered to inspect.
I found Mr. Zhou Xiao and Princess Changyu nearby, as well as... a human trafficker."
Thinking of the miserable appearance of those human traffickers, the Imperial Guard lowered his head and said, "Your Excellency, you'd better go and have a look."
Those traffickers looked like they were about to die. I was afraid they were too late to give their confessions.
