The mistress just wanted to be bad, but she took off after being replaced

Just as Sheng Junwei was about to explain, a middle-aged man who was tied up in the crowd suddenly struggled to his feet, his voice becoming shrill and piercing with excitement: "You are trespassing and breaking the law! I, I'm going to report to the police and make sure you pay for it!"

At the side, an elderly woman seemed to have recovered from her initial shock. She spat and said nasty things: "You ignorant brats, do you know who is behind us? If you know what's good for you, let us go immediately. Otherwise, hmph, you will bear the consequences yourself!"

Facing the roars and threats from the two men, Sheng Junwei seemed unusually calm. She shook her head slightly, her voice calm but revealing an unshakable strength: "They are a group of human traffickers, but unlike those demons who simply traffic in children, their hearts are even more cold-blooded and inhumane. Children abducted by ordinary human traffickers may still have a chance to escape and find a new life, but in their hands, every victim is squeezed to the last drop of value in life, and then ends their life in endless pain."

Her gaze slowly swept over every disabled person present, and her eyes reflected broken bodies.

Among these people, the vast majority were still young children, and there were only five or six adults.

"After they abducted the child, they brutally crippled him." Sheng Junwei's words were like ice spikes, piercing deep into everyone's heart.

The blue-skirted girl and the several noble young men accompanying her all looked terrified when they heard this. "What?!"

Sheng Junwei took a deep breath and continued, "Sometimes they cut off the hands and feet of the children, and then threw these already incomplete children into the busy streets and let them beg."

"There are too many kind-hearted people in the world who, seeing such a scene, would always lend a helping hand, even if it's just a copper coin. If there are only 20 or 30 people in a place willing to give alms, these children can earn tens or even hundreds of coins a day."

"Especially in those prosperous places, people's pockets are bulging, and giving two or three cents is just a piece of cake. If you meet a kind-hearted young lady, you may be able to get a generous reward of a small piece of silver at a time."

"They took advantage of the misfortunes of these innocent children and made a fortune for themselves."

"Look at these children who are being used as money-making tools, and they don't even get the most basic care and treatment. Their injuries are so serious that even if they receive careful care, it is unknown whether they can recover, let alone neglect treatment."

“So, many trafficked children often cannot survive the long and painful road to recovery.”

"And the children who are forced to go out begging during their recovery period, the benefits they bring to those people are even more substantial than after they recover from their injuries."

"In this environment, most children simply don't survive to adulthood and die early."

"The dozens of disabled survivors you see now are only a handful of the hundreds of abducted children who have managed to escape the shadow of death. It is conceivable that the survivors who eventually grew up have experienced countless hardships and sufferings in their lives that are unimaginable to ordinary people."

Sheng Junwei's voice was as calm as water, but the dark reality revealed in every word made everyone present feel heavy as lead, with unspeakable emotions surging in their hearts: intolerance, heartache, deep sympathy and anger that could not be suppressed...

One of the young masters of a wealthy family was an impulsive man. He gritted his teeth and was so angry that he could no longer hold back. He rushed forward and started punching and kicking the middle-aged man who had been so arrogant just now.

"You are a beast in human skin! How can there be such a thing as you in this world! Bastard!"

The middle-aged man wailed in the storm of fists and feet, still cursing: "What wild boy dares to touch me! Listen to me, in Nande County, I, Wang Meng, am the king of the law! If you dare to hit me, you can just wait to collect your bodies, I will make you regret it!"

"No matter how prominent your identities are or how wealthy you are, if you offend me, you will never be able to leave Nande County safely!"

As if to verify his declaration that he would not tolerate provocation, a group of yamen runners suddenly rushed into the scene and shouted in unison: "Stop!"

Following closely behind, a man in gorgeous official uniform approached quickly, "What kind of desperado dared to commit crimes in my Nan De County! Capture them all, no one will be spared!"

Seeing this sudden reinforcement, the middle-aged man seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, tears streaming down his face: "Sir, your arrival is like a blessing from heaven. If you were a moment later, we would have been killed by these villains!"

The young master of the noble family suddenly stepped on the middle-aged man's leg and said, "Stop pretending here! You are the real villain!"

The rest of the arrested people also began to cry for help: "Sir, please help us. Everyone in Nande County knows that we are well-known philanthropists within the area. When we see disabled people living in hardship, we will take them in, provide them with food and clothing, and even spend a lot of money to treat their illnesses."

"But these guys, without asking any questions, broke into our residence. Not only did they hurt people maliciously, but they also confused right and wrong! Sir, they are the real bandits! Robbers! Please do us justice and maintain the peace and order of Nande County!"

Upon hearing this, the official was immediately furious and said in a loud voice: "What an arrogant and domineering gang of villains, how dare they run wild in broad daylight in Nande County! Don't worry, I will give you a fair verdict and will never allow any evil deeds that slander the good people of Nande County to go unpunished!"

He ordered again in a stern voice, "Arrest all these people!"

These young masters from the capital are all well-known dandies, who are always stirring up trouble, fighting, and doing whatever they want. Their opponents are often descendants of nobles of the same status.

Now, facing such a small county official who dared to show off his power in front of them, how could they tolerate it?

The crowd waved their arms angrily and swore: "If one comes, we'll beat one! If two come, we'll beat a pair! I want to see what kind of corrupt official this is, to protect such a conscienceless villain!"

"Fight! Even if the sky falls, we have our uncle to hold it up!"

Their fathers were at least high-ranking officials of the fourth rank, while the man in official uniform before them was only an eighth-rank prefect, who should have been the deputy of Nande County.

For these ignorant and dissolute young masters, such a small official position is not worth mentioning at all.

Sheng Junwei sighed inwardly. They were courageous and had good intentions in their hearts, but the key point was that they were all ordinary people without official positions.
