Ye Shian was strangled and couldn't breathe. She slapped Wang's arm with both hands: "You, let go."

"Antidote!"

"Um, no, no..."

Before he could finish the rest of his words, Shopkeeper Wang increased the force on his hands and Ye Shian felt like he was about to be strangled to death.

"Shi'an..." Yu Xiuying fell hard, but she ignored the pain and got up from the ground.

"Let my daughter go."

Suddenly, a figure flew out from the second floor in mid-air. The man stabbed Manager Wang's wrist with a long sword. Manager Wang was forced to let go of Ye Shian and fought with the man.

Ye Shian, who was released, gasped heavily.

Shopkeeper Wang was obviously having a hard time fighting Shen Cuo, especially after taking sleeping pills, and the effects of the drugs were already starting to take effect.

Shopkeeper Wang was stabbed in the chest by Shen Cuo without any resistance, but the severe pain made him sober for a moment.

Shopkeeper Wang stared at Shen Cuo fiercely: "Why do you have to meddle in other people's business?"

Shen Cuo simply said two words: "I owe her money."

Manager Wang covered his chest with his hands. He knew that his life was over today. He glanced at his fainted brothers and flew away.

Shen Cuo did not chase after him. After the man ran away, he put away his sword.

Yu Xiuying only felt that the person in front of her looked familiar, but she didn't recognize that it was the one she rescued on the mountain. It was only after Ye Shian reminded her that she remembered.

"Thank you for saving my life, otherwise my mother and I might have been..."

Shen Cuo clasped his fists and said, "No need to thank me. I owe this to your daughter."

"How do you know we were captured by him?" Ye Shian asked subconsciously.

Shen Cuo shook his head: "I don't know, I just happened to run into them. They are from Yuanbao Mountain, I'll hand them over to the government and you'll have done a great deed."

Ye Shian was surprised: "Are you saying they are bandits from Yuanbao Mountain?"

She really guessed it.

Shen Cuo nodded: "I have something else to do, goodbye."

As soon as Shen Cuo left, Ye Shian and his daughter were about to report to the police when the door of the restaurant was kicked open from outside.

A group of officials came in and surrounded the people present...

Only then did Ye Shian realize what kind of incident he was involved in.

The Golden Tiger Gang was growing stronger and stronger, and the imperial court had failed in several attempts to suppress the bandits. The Golden Tiger Gang also realized that they had been targeted by the imperial court, so they wanted to retire. So the third in command quietly entered Huainan City and transformed himself into a restaurant owner.

The first restaurant that the third boss had his eyes on was Xianweiju, but he would not sell it because it was doing well, so he killed the chef, hoping to force the boss to sell Xianweiju.

Without the chef, Xianweiju's business plummeted. Originally, everything was going according to his plan until Ye Shian appeared and taught the owner of Xianweiju how to cook new dishes.

Seeing that someone dared to ruin his plan, how could the third leader of the Golden Tiger Gang agree? That's why he had Ye Shian kidnapped and wanted to take Ye Shian's food for himself...

It was almost noon when Ye Shian and his daughter came out of the yamen.

Fortunately, the prescription was offered before, otherwise they would probably have to "cooperate" with the authorities in their investigation.

Chen An escorted the two men to the outside of the government office and bowed to them, "You two have helped the court solve a major problem today."

Yu Xiuying forced a bitter smile. She really had no energy after not sleeping all night.

Ye Shian, on the other hand, secretly drank some coffee and was in good spirits.

"I also want to thank Brother Chen. If it weren't for you, we might still be in there..."

Chen An was a little embarrassed: "The people who handled this case are from higher-ups."

Thinking of what Shen Cuo said before he left, she asked tentatively: "If we help the court capture the people from the Golden Tiger Gang, will there be a reward?"

Chen An nodded: "If we catch the leaders of the Golden Tiger Gang, there will naturally be a reward."

There is no intention of catching minions.

Yes, we should eliminate the harm to the people.

After saying goodbye to Chen An, Yu Xiuying and Ye Shian decided not to leave today and went back to Xianweiju.

Xianweiju was not open yet. It turned out that the owner of Xianweiju was also called to the government office for questioning. The mother and daughter returned to the room and had a good sleep.

When the two woke up and went downstairs to eat, the owner of Xianweiju thanked them again.

Upon learning that the two were leaving, he specially prepared some dry food for them to take.

When I left the city gate, Chen An was not there. He must be not on duty today.

There were fewer people fleeing outside the city gate, but they were still in a mess. The mother and daughter drove the ox cart out, attracting the attention of many people on the roadside. Some of them were envious, and some were greedy.

Yinzhu followed her father with lifeless eyes, like a walking corpse. She hadn't eaten for two days.

At the beginning, they could still dig up some wild vegetables or tree bark, but later there were no more. At first, they could catch some food by walking along the river, but the road they walked in the past two days did not pass through the river at all, so they could only go hungry.

Outside the city gate, the human traffickers were surrounded by a crowd of people. Now that they had no way to make a living, there were too many people selling their children and themselves. A person could be bought for a steamed bun and a pancake.

Zhang Heizi pulled Yinzhu and tried to squeeze in: "Make way, make way..."

The human traffickers were picky about the people who came to sell them, just like they were picking cabbages.

"We don't want older people, no matter if they are male or female, over 40."

While shouting at the people, the man looked at the boy in front of him: "Ten years old, not bad age, but too thin, looks listless, three cakes. If you are okay, go over there and get some."

Zhang Heizi finally squeezed in: "Uncle, look at my daughter. Look at my daughter. She is fourteen this year and is as beautiful as a flower."

Ren Yazi glanced at them and said, "Two cakes."

"What? Just two cakes. Master, take a good look at my daughter. She is very pretty. If you take her home and take good care of her, she can definitely be sold for a good price. It won't be a problem whether she is a maid or a concubine."

Yinzhu remained silent and let her father drag her to show herself to the traffickers.

"Girls are both two cakes, you can sell them or not."

"No, uncle, take a good look at her. Don't be fooled by her thinness. Her breasts and butt are definitely more than two pancakes. How about this, you give her four, four pancakes."

"Three, three pancakes will do."

"There are only two pancakes. If you don't want to sell them, just stay aside and wait for the next one."

Zhang Heizi glanced at Yinzhu who was standing behind him without saying a word. This was his daughter whom he had raised for more than ten years. Just two cakes was really too cheap.

"You stupid girl, you don't even know how to say a word. People thought you were dumb. You're such a grown-up, but you're only worth two cakes. How shameless."

"I won't sell two cakes. I'll go back and sell them at a brothel. They won't only give me two cakes, will they?"

As soon as Ye Shian came out of the ox cart he was sitting on, he saw Zhang Heizi scolding Yinzhu.

When Ye Shian heard what Zhang Heizi said, she was really furious. Before the ox cart stopped, she jumped down and rushed to Zhang Heizi.

"Zhang Heizi, you bastard, you actually sold your daughter."
