Mind Reading: The tyrant panicked after hearing the little princess's inner voice

Although they didn't know why His Majesty would pay attention to a small mountain village, as his subjects, they just had to obey his orders.

Before going up the mountain, he first found the local county magistrate and explained to him how the yamen runners and villagers colluded with each other and allowed the kidnapping and trafficking of women.

The county magistrate said he was unaware of this and was willing to make amends and assist in the investigation.

After clearing out the yamen runners who were in collusion with the villagers of Yushan, they would follow behind them and surround the village.

The censor ordered the woman to be taken on the road.

When they arrived at the village, the villagers became wary of the sudden intruders.

"who are you?"

The censor smiled and talked to the village chief: "My dear, we are traveling merchants going to the capital, but our caravan got lost."

"I was originally here to explore the way and find the direction, but I never thought I would get lost."

"It's getting late, I wonder if you guys can be kind enough to let me stay for one night."

The village chief refused directly: "No, we can't let outsiders live in our village."

The young and strong men behind him also looked at them with weapons in their hands, as if they would attack them immediately if they dared to step into the village.

So he took out a bag of silver and asked sincerely, "Is it not okay to give money?"

"One ounce of silver per person."

With one or two taels of silver, you can stay in a lower room in the most luxurious inn in the capital, or in an upper room in the best inn in the county for ten days.

An average family's annual expenses are only about four taels of silver.

Just staying in their village for one night would cost one or two taels of silver. How rich is that?

The villagers who had just resolutely refused to let them enter the village suddenly turned into waiters and did not listen to the village chief's dissuasion at all.

"Please come in and stay at whoever's house you want. My house is spacious and can accommodate three people."

"Come to my house, come to my house. We brothers will sleep on the floor outside. I'll make room for you!"

Each person gets one or two taels of silver. If more people move in to live in their house, wouldn’t they become rich?

The village chief waved his hands in an attempt to stop the attack, but a big man stopped him and said, "Village chief, we usually give you face."

"You helped me find my wife, but you can't stop us from getting rich."

The censor has selected two families, and it would be better if they were not too separated.

In the evening, the people in the two families killed chickens and pigs to entertain them.

If they hadn't known their faces in advance, they would have really thought that these people were the simple and hospitable villagers of Yushan.

The censor called them together and told them, "Eat quickly later and leave the table quickly to find a chance to vomit."

"Or find a way not to eat it yourself."

One person asked: "Did you find anything?"

The censor shook his head: "No, but since this is a case of abduction and trafficking, do you think they have drugs?"

"I don't know if they will use it, but when you go out to investigate a case, you should be careful. Don't fail to complete the task assigned by your superiors and end up losing your life."

"Doctor, if you find something wrong later, give us a signal. If the symptoms are such that you should faint immediately, just knock over the bowl and we will pretend to faint."

"If the effect is slow, just throw the chopsticks and we will faint after we leave the table."

Everyone nodded.

After all the dishes were served, the doctor took a few bites and then "lost his grip" on the chopsticks, causing them to drop to the ground.

"Sorry sorry."

The man said cheerfully: "It's okay, just let my wife take care of it."

Then he yelled into the kitchen, "Are you deaf?"

"Why don't you come and change the chopsticks for the distinguished guest? Did I raise you just to eat for free?"

"If you can't hear the noise outside anymore, I'll really deafen you."

A woman with scars and a haggard face came out. She knew that this group of outsiders might be the hope of rescuing her.

But she didn't dare ask for help.

Last time, a family, who seemed to be their distant relatives, came to visit Yushan and had a meal here.

The woman mustered up the courage to ask for help, but was exposed the next time.

She was beaten and locked in the cellar, and from then on she never dared to ask for help again.

The censor and his colleagues suppressed their discomfort; the words were too vulgar.

But they still endured it and toasted each other. After a few drinks, a big man suddenly vomited.

"Er Zhuang, you just can't drink alcohol. If you can't drink, don't drink it. Go outside and vomit. Don't make the guests sick."

The man finished his words and apologized to the censor: "My brother throws up whenever he drinks, but he likes it. We rarely drink, so I only let him take two sips, but he still threw up."

The censor didn't care and expressed his understanding.

When night really fell, they all pretended that the drugs had taken effect and fell into a deep sleep.

The real owner of the house seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep as if he had taken some Chinese medicine.

The censor and his entourage quietly found where the woman slept.

Perhaps because she was not allowed to sit at the table, she was very sober at this moment.

"My lady, I can hear your accent. You don't sound like a native of Yushan. Were you kidnapped?"

"We are from the government. We heard that the people of Yushan kidnapped women, so we came here to investigate the case."

"But there are only a few women on this mountain. Do you know where the others are?"

If the woman dared to call for help, the people he brought would knock her out immediately.

But she seemed to be unable to hear anything and did not react at all.

The light was dim, and no lights were turned on in the mountain village at night, so they couldn't see the expression on her face.

Can't she hear?

No, she was stunned by the sudden surprise.

Rescue them?

Is that what she meant?

Does this mean what she has been looking forward to day and night and dare not even dream of?

Can she go home now?

Can I no longer have to stay here and serve a bunch of people, and no longer have to go through the endless cycle of pregnancy, childbirth, pregnancy, and childbirth?

But they were lying to her.

Do you really want to risk being punished again and ask for help?

She suddenly realized that she had stayed there too long, and was afraid that this rare straw would disappear again. She mustered up her courage and said, "I know, I know where they are."

Er Zhuang was awakened by the urge to urinate. He got up and found a group of people approaching their house. He asked in astonishment, "What are you doing?"

"Er Zhuang, this guest is staying at both of your houses. You guys have made a fortune, but you brothers didn't get a penny."

"We have several daughters-in-law who have just died, and we are still waiting for money to buy another one."

"Why don't we share the benefits?"

"We'll drug them, take away all the valuables from them, kill them and throw them into the back hills to feed the wild animals."

The owner of the house disagreed: "After all, they are from outside. If people from outside find out and enter our village, won't all their secrets be exposed?"

"It's not that easy. We'll just say we've never seen it."

"We originally wanted to drag you along to share the money. If you stop us, don't blame us for not leaving any for your family."
