Dominate the ancient academy

When Shu Xiaoxiao and the others were getting ready to set off, Shenbao also arrived.

It was originally enjoying itself on the small boat in the mansion, but after the plants said that human traffickers appeared in Kyoto and that the traffickers were big bad guys, Shenbao became worried about Shu Xiaoxiao and hurried to find Shu Xiaoxiao. This was its only human friend and nothing could happen to it.

Seeing Shenbao, Shu Xiaoxiao became more confident about the next action. Shenbao is not ginseng without any lethality!

The total number of people in the group is not small, and now is a time of panic. The city gates are already guarded, and it is almost impossible for the human traffickers to leave the city. There are also many people in Kyoto looking for human traffickers. There are also officials in charge of the case who saw this group of people and wanted to order them to resume their work and not disrupt the court's investigation, but when they stepped forward and took a look...

Well, shut up immediately. These ancestors cannot be persuaded by them. With so many people, they should not encounter any danger.

The human traffickers would not be so desperate as to attack these young masters. After all, the guards behind them are not just for show.

The group first arrived at a small alley that stretched in all directions. The alley was not big, but it had many small paths, making it easier for them to hide in the dark.

After discovering the presence of human traffickers, no one except the family who had lost their child dared to stay outside. All the houses in this area closed their doors, and only the light leaking through the cracks in the doors could show that these people had not yet rested.

According to the plants, the first house on the right is the human traffickers' den.

It should be for the convenience of evacuation that they chose the edge, so Shu Xiaoxiao would not take action like this.

According to the plants, there were four people inside, two men, two women, and six children. The young man was particularly fierce and had a knife in his hand. The older woman was holding an unconscious child.

It is not suitable to rush in directly in this situation, but fortunately she has been carrying the medicine powder with her.

The strongest drug she had was not given to her by her grandfather, but an enhanced version of the drug she and Shenbao made after searching Qinglian Mountain. They also used the big white tigers in the mountains for the experiment.

After the tiger ate the food with added ingredients made by her and Shenbao, it fainted for three days. When it woke up, it was so hungry that it couldn't even stand up. It was Shu Xiaoxiao and Shenbao who found food for it. After eating, it stared at them, took deep breaths and closed its eyes, several times, before finally turning around and leaving.

At that time, the big white tiger's red eyes scared her and Canbao so much that they didn't dare to go into the mountains for a month. Later, Shu Xiaoxiao and Canbao felt guilty and coaxed the tiger for half a month before it stopped running away when it saw them.

But he was not relieved. Before Shu Xiaoxiao left Qinglian Village, Tiger still ignored them.

The most powerful version of the drug was Shu Xiaoxiao's secret treasure, but after thinking about it, she decided not to take it out. Those human traffickers might starve to death after being in a coma for three days, but the drug did not distinguish between friend and foe, and it would be bad if it hurt those children.

Shu Xiaoxiao took out another bag of drugs, which were developed by Grandpa Ye. Although they were not as good as the enhanced version, they were much better than the drugs on the market.

After taking this drug, you will pass out in about ten minutes, which is not bad.

Let the more agile guards carefully sneak in with the sleeping pills and find a chance to put them into the tea that the traffickers drink.

Shu Xiaoxiao looked at the guard's back and sighed that the drug needed to be improved. If it was changed into a drug incense, she only needed to find the wind direction and ignite it directly, and there was no need to look for an opportunity to drug. Wouldn't it be much simpler?

She remembered that the modern method of making mosquito coils should be similar to that of making aphrodisiac incense, so she would try it later. Aphrodisiac incense is more subtle and can be used without anyone noticing.

While she was lost in thought, Shu Ting flew to Shu Xiaoxiao and whispered, "Xiaoxiao, are there really human traffickers in there? Isn't it a bit bad for us to take action without any investigation? What if the people in there are innocent?"

They said they were looking for human traffickers, but my sister somehow found this place after looking around all the way. Without any investigation, she went to the house to drug the person. What if she made a mistake and hurt someone by mistake?

The others also looked at Shu Xiaoxiao with burning eyes. This was not what they had imagined. Shouldn't they have discovered some suspicious points and then, through various reasonings, determined that the human traffickers were the enemy?

Now that they haven't discovered anything, isn't it a bit hasty to say that this family is human traffickers?

Shu Xiaoxiao couldn't explain it either, so she could only say vaguely, "This is mainly based on intuition. When I was looking for you just now, I heard someone say... that this family... this family... is a little suspicious, so let's go in and take a look."

"And I seemed to hear crying in here just now. The sleeping pills I took out will only make people sleep for a while. They are harmless to the body. We will go there in a while. If we can't find the child, we will leave more compensation. When facing human traffickers, we should have the attitude of rather killing someone by mistake than missing them. Do you understand?"

After saying that, he paused.

"Or, do you have any solution?"

Shu Xiaoxiao spread her hands. She couldn't say that the plants along the way saw it. If she said that, she would either be regarded as a lunatic or a monster. It didn't matter whether they believed it now or not. Finding the traffickers later would be the best outcome.

Everyone thought about it and realized that they really had no other choice. They might as well give it a try. It would be better than rushing around like headless flies.

At most, they will all bear the blame for trespassing. There are so many of them and they all want to do good things. Those people should let them off, right?

A group of young masters touched their buttocks, hoping that their fathers would show mercy when they took action.

About half an hour later, the guard came out carefully holding a child in his arms: "Master, everyone inside is unconscious."

The guard was an unmarried man from a decent family. After the woman fell down, the guard quickly grabbed the child who almost fell to the ground. But he had never held a child before. The child was fair and cute and slept soundly. He was afraid that he would accidentally wake the child up. What should he do?

This job is really unskilled. It's not like holding a child, but more like holding a bomb.

He looked towards the guards for help. He didn't dare to count on those young masters, but all the grown men who met his gaze immediately shifted their gaze. Holding a baby was something that even these rough guys were not good at!

When Tang Baoju heard that everyone inside was unconscious, he hurried inside. He had to find his sister.

The four human traffickers were lying on the ground in a mess. Tang Baoju didn't even look at them, and hurriedly looked around to see if there was any place hiding people.

In addition to Tang Baoju, Shu Tingfei also worked very hard in the search. If these people were not human traffickers, he now hoped that this house was the base of human traffickers, otherwise his sister would be trespassing.

This is a crime of disturbing public order. Although they did not rob or destroy anything, the reputation they have is too bad.

The room was not big, and there were so many of them, so they searched the room in no time. Some of them also searched other rooms, but found nothing.

Did they really wrongly accuse this family? It seems they can't save their own ass.

Shu Xiaoxiao heard from the plants outside that the human traffickers brought all the children into this house, so there must be a cellar or something here.

While Shu Xiaoxiao was still observing and thinking, the ginseng treasure had already been found. Although the house was paved with blue bricks, the ginseng treasure's sensitivity to the soil could not be hindered by these blue bricks.

Shenbao could feel that the large area near the corner was empty underground, and there should be a cellar underneath.

Shu Xiaoxiao walked over and saw a table there. There didn't seem to be anything unusual about it, so Shu Xiaoxiao asked someone to carry the table away.

After the table was moved away, it was obvious that the blue bricks under the table were not right. It was obvious that the blue bricks were placed randomly, and there was no soil in the gaps between the bricks. There was obviously a problem.

Without Shu Xiaoxiao's orders, the guards moved the bricks away directly. Under the bricks was a wooden board, and under the board was a pitch-black hole.

When the group of people saw the entrance to the cave, they breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that their lives were saved.

There were three children in the cave. They were all unconscious, but it was obvious that they were not hurt. It was also possible that the traffickers had not had time to take action. Just by looking at these children, it was certain that these people were indeed human traffickers.

Shen Guanqing reacted quickly. His first reaction after finding the child was to ask the guards to tie up the human traffickers and gag them, making sure that they had no chance of resistance.

Otherwise, if they have some special way to tip off someone, it will be even more difficult for them to find that person.

These guards were not so gentle towards the human traffickers. They directly took the thick hemp ropes and tied their hands and feet tightly. The skin on the exposed wrists was broken, so there was absolutely no room for struggle even if they woke up.

Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. With these human traffickers and children around, they were no longer considered trespassing and their lives were saved.

Only Tang Baoju was dejected because his sister was not among those abducted children.

After successfully finding the human traffickers and safely rescuing the abducted child, Shu Xiaoxiao's prestige in this team has now been established.

After feeling sad, Tang Baoju looked at Shu Xiaoxiao. Since Ye Xiao could reach the first hideout of the human traffickers, he could definitely find the second one. He now believed that Ye Xiao could definitely rescue his sister.

Before notifying Shuntian Prefecture, Shu Xiaoxiao said directly: "We were lucky to be able to successfully rescue the human traffickers' dens one by one. There are not many people inside. Next, we have to cooperate with the court and find professionals to rescue people."

"And if we work together with Shuntian Prefecture, it won't be considered trespassing if we sneak into these people's homes."

"I believe that with these human traffickers, the Shuntian prefect will not reject us. Now let's take these human traffickers and children to find the people in Shuntian prefecture."

"Okay, let's go."

Their way of searching relies more on luck, and they are not sure whether Ye Xiao's intuition will work next time, or whether Zhao Shuntian Mansion is safer.

The child was simply held in his arms. As for the human traffickers, the guards were unwilling to carry them, so they simply pulled one each and walked out the door.

Shu Xiaoxiao twitched her lips but said nothing. They were just unforgivable human traffickers. These guards could do whatever they wanted to them. Anyway, they rescued these children. Even if they killed the human traffickers, they could just say it was an accident. They believed that Shuntian Prefecture would not hold them responsible.

I don’t know if it’s because the drug was too effective or if these human traffickers were too tough and thick-skinned, but they didn’t wake up even after being dragged like this.

When the news of the human trafficking incident reached the palace, Yun Qinghan was accompanying the emperor. He was also surprised to hear about the human traffickers. A few years ago, a human trafficker accidentally abducted a little princess and was thoroughly investigated by the court. At that time, the human traffickers were severely frightened. Unexpectedly, they dared to do it in Kyoto now. They are really brave.

The emperor directly ordered Yun Qinghan to lead the Yulin Army to capture the human traffickers and try to rescue all the abducted children.

Yun Qinghan is not the only prince favored by the emperor. Although he does not hold an office in the court, he has done a lot for the emperor and holds considerable power.

When the emperor knew that his nephew wanted to go to the battlefield in the future, he began to train his abilities. At first, he was tasked with investigating cases or supervising some small matters such as officials' abnormalities, and Yun Qinghan completed them very well.

Gradually, the emperor became more and more confident in him, and many things that he was not convenient to do were done by Yun Qinghan. Of course, he did not want to train Yun Qinghan to be a secret guard.

I just want him to know that the world is not black and white. Sometimes some things require some special means. The most taboo thing on the battlefield is to be rigid and inflexible.

When a general is away from the army, he is not subject to certain military orders, so he must have a certain degree of flexibility. If he is only good at talking about military affairs on paper or is too upright, he will be restricted everywhere. Originally, I wanted him to see the dark side of officialdom. Many things are not as good as imagined.

Yun Qinghan's growth was beyond his expectations. This nephew was smarter than he thought and could handle many things very well. This way, he could feel more at ease with Yun Qinghan's ability when he went to the battlefield in the future.

When Yun Qinghan led his men out of Shuntian Prefecture, he was surprised to meet Shu Xiaoxiao and a group of people. His junior brother always managed to surprise her.

After ordering people to take over the human traffickers and the children, Yun Qinghan told them to return home and not wander around outside. The human traffickers were much more brutal than they had imagined, and were not much worse than the desperate bandits. If they really encountered human traffickers outside, they might not be able to escape unscathed.

The group of people didn't want to leave. This time they were here to help Tang Baoju find his sister. Besides the fact that this was quite exciting, they also really wanted to help. But when they saw the guards behind Prince Yun, they knew they couldn't help much either, so they left in disgrace with their own guards.

Only Shu Tingfei, Shu Xiaoxiao and Tang Baoju refused to leave. Shu Tingfei wanted to stay with his sister, while Tang Baoju was determined that Ye Xiao could help him find his sister, so when he saw Ye Xiao not moving, he refused to leave either.

Shu Xiaoxiao looked at Senior Brother Yun's eyes, which were signaling her to leave, and could only say, "Senior Brother Yun, how are you going to find the human traffickers?"

Thinking of the human traffickers that the little guy had just caught, Yun Qinghan did not hide it and said directly: "These human traffickers should not have kidnapped children on impulse. They should not have been in Kyoto for more than two months, and the city gates were closed in time.

After they kidnapped the children, they should still be in the city, so they must have a place to stay in the city. I have instructed Shuntian Prefecture to check for people who have stayed in Kyoto or have any abnormalities in the past two months. I will go and confirm it myself later.

Others are investigating in Kyoto. Although it is a lot of work to investigate one by one, it will help us find the traffickers as much as possible.”

There is no surveillance now, so although there may be some loopholes in Senior Brother Yun’s method, it is still the best he has done.

Shu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, "Brother, I'll go with you. I can find the base of those human traffickers."
