Marrying for someone else and being a widow? Stepmothers open classes to raise children
Chapter 214 Trafficking
Gu Zhiyi sighed lightly, then calculated with her fingers, and then said with some apology: "I'm so sorry, I missed some details. The location of Fengjia Village is roughly correct, but your sister is not there. She is in a place called Wanfu Town, 50 miles away from Fengjia Village."
"In that town, there is a wealthy landlord named Tang. After your sister was kidnapped, she finally escaped from the clutches of the kidnappers after going through hardships, and joined the Tang family's caravan by chance. The owner of the Tang family saw that she was very smart, and because he had been looking for his daughter in vain, he helped her to gather information and took in your sister as an adopted daughter."
"Your sister was suddenly abducted at that time. She had no physical evidence to prove her identity. Even if the Tang family wanted to help, it would be difficult to find her in the vast Western Wei. Moreover, the kidnappers left the area soon after, and the clues were cut off. The Tang family had no way to start."
Ten years later, your sister reached the age of marriage. The Tang family loved this adopted daughter who had been taken care of since she was young and was reluctant to send her to suffer in another family. In addition, your sister and the young master of the Tang family were in love with each other and had already promised to spend their lives together when their eyes met, so the family held a grand marriage ceremony.
After marriage, your sister's life was not smooth sailing, but she and her husband were in love, supported each other, had a pair of children, and could be considered happy.
Gu Zhiyi smiled brightly, her eyes moving as she stared at Duke Dingguo: "I know you can no longer suppress your anger and want to attack me. But please be patient, because I have promised you that if you fail to arrive at the designated place within three days, your sister's son and daughter-in-law will meet with an unexpected event."
"And your sister will also pass away due to grief after the unfortunate death of her son and daughter-in-law."
After hearing this, Duke Dingguo's face changed several times and he was filled with confusion.
He had to admit that just now, he did have the idea of punishing the Ningguo Lady who spoke so arrogantly. After all, anyone who was deceived once would have an insurmountable estrangement from the other party. However, the other party actually said with certainty that if he did not go to find his sister, she would encounter misfortune... How could he not be nervous?
His eyes turned cold as he looked directly at Gu Zhiyi: "Madam Ningguo, my Lord will trust you once again. But if you deceive me again this time... even if you have the support of the prime minister behind you, my Lord will not show mercy to you!"
Gu Zhiyi said firmly and confidently: "Don't worry, you will never have the chance to punish me."
Duke Dingguo glanced at her and hurried away.
The Eighth Sage King frowned slightly, and blankly glanced at Gu Zhiyi's beautiful face that always had an indifferent expression, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "You already know where my great-aunt is. The reason you did this is just to deliberately torture my grandfather and me, and to take the opportunity to humiliate Yunxuan."
Gu Zhiyi's face showed innocence: "If your Majesty thinks so, I can do nothing about it."
The Eighth Wise King was silent for a moment, feeling anxious.
Look at her, that innocent expression, that sincere tone, as if everything is so flawless.
But why did he still feel so angry?
"You'd better take care of yourself. If your grandfather can't find your great aunt, then... no one can guarantee that you will be safe." He waved his sleeves coldly and turned to leave.
The moment he turned around, a deep haze flashed across his eyes.
He had a hunch that what the woman said might be true.
Maybe my grandfather can really find my great-aunt on this trip.
However, this was not the result he expected.
Because he understood that if what the woman said was true, it meant that her ability was superior to Yunxuan's.
He knew very well that Yunxuan had only made a mistake in intelligence and had not intended to deceive his grandfather.
He could not sit idly by and watch Yunxuan being accused without reason and suffer an unjust accusation.
In the deep Ningguo Mansion, the Eighth Sage Prince hurried out, anxious and worried. He was eager to find his missing great-aunt before his grandfather. However, at this moment, a trusted guard ran to him in panic: "My Lord, something bad has happened! Miss Chao has met with misfortune!"
The Eighth Sage King's expression suddenly changed, and his voice trembled a little: "What happened?"
After a series of unsuccessful searches, Duke Dun was furious. He mercilessly rebuked Chao Yunxuan for the sake of the Eighth Sage King's reputation. He strictly forbade her to appear in his sight again, and not to let her interfere in the matter.
Chao Yunxuan had always been a person who followed her own way. Apart from the respected old lady Xie, she had never been humiliated so severely. Her self-esteem would not allow her to silently endure such an insult.
Therefore, after returning to Shengjing, she began to look through books, looking for clues from the past. After unremitting efforts, she actually found a key clue.
She accidentally discovered a member of the trafficking gang. She was filled with rage for revenge against the villains who had humiliated her, so she intercepted the man without hesitation.
At first, the man firmly denied that he was a trafficker, but under Chao Yunxuan's severe interrogation and cruel torture, he finally broke down and not only admitted his crime, but also recalled the little girl who was abducted. He revealed that although the gang failed to catch the little girl, they knew where she was hiding later.
It was only because the little girl had been under special protection that they were unable to do anything. As it had been so long, he could no longer remember the specific place name, so he could only return to his residence to look for records.
The account book recorded in detail the seller's address and price for each trafficked woman and child. They also recorded those victims who escaped and whose hiding places they found.
Chao Yunxuan followed him back to his residence. However, at this moment, she was trapped by the trafficking gang.
This group of villains are morally corrupt. In order to abduct and sell innocent people, they will do anything and have countless dirty tools in their hands. The most commonly used one is the drug.
As for those who have been engaged in such unscrupulous activities for a long time, they are also extremely afraid of being tracked down by the government and the victims' families. Therefore, they have developed a unique way of communication. Once the victims' families or government officials come to their door, if the other party is large in number, the gang will immediately escape through the secret passage to avoid being caught in one fell swoop.
Chao Yunxuan hurried into the house, but she did not expect to be attacked by a drug.
Before she could show off her superb skills as a female killer, she fell into a coma dramatically.
Although the Eighth Wise King sent loyal secret guards to protect her, there were only two of them. Faced with those experienced kidnappers, some of whom were martial arts masters, the secret guards were afraid that rash actions would trigger a greater crisis and endanger Chao Yunxuan's safety, so they chose to stay put.
When the Eighth Wise King learned of Chao Yunxuan's misfortune, he was so anxious and worried that he could not express it in words. He immediately gathered a large number of people and surrounded the kidnappers' hiding place.
Duke Dun, who was outside the city, knew nothing about this, and Du Ziheng, who was under house arrest due to his injuries, was also kept in the dark. Even Gu Zhiyi was kept in the dark.
