After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

Return to the princess's mansion.

Zhong Ning had just sat down when the two secret guards came in from the back door with the three children.

These three children were the ones who were locked up in the same woodshed with Zhou Ge and were being trained.

At this time, his body was covered with wounds like Zhou Ge.

Now that they were brought back by the secret guards, the three of them had no idea what the difference was between this place and the brothel. They were trembling, huddled together, looking in the direction of Zhong Ning, full of vigilance.

"My lord, I just asked about their family background. All three were abducted from the Cao and Zheng families in Xiyan City." Feng Xin, the head of the four secret guards, stepped forward and replied.

"These two children are twins born to the previous wife of the Cao family patriarch. After the previous wife passed away, the next wife came into the family and also gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Cao family."

"This one is the young master of the Zheng family, born to the Zheng family's patriarch and his beloved second wife."

Feng Xin introduced their general situation and Zhong Ning understood it.

Just looking at the delicate skin and tender flesh of these three children, they could not be from ordinary families. Now after hearing their life stories, even a fool could guess that this is related to a dispute over family property or a struggle within the inner house.

"Send them down to wash up and have a good rest. Once they're well, send someone to take them back. Remember, tell the two family heads the truth and inform them that I'm aware of this matter. If the two family heads can't judge right from wrong and protect their families, I will personally settle the accounts with them."

Zhong Ning sat at the top with a cold expression, as if he was talking about something unimportant.

But when the three children heard this, they immediately knelt down.

They are already old enough to understand things and naturally know that Zhong Ning is supporting them. In this way, even if they return to the family in the future, they will be well protected.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Thank you, Master!"

One sound after another made Zhong Ning laugh.

"You are not my servants, why are you calling me master? Just call me Your Highness the Princess!"

The older children knelt upright and replied frankly, "Master, you saved our lives. We are willing to serve you for the rest of our lives!"

The other two children nodded quickly.

This is a golden thigh, it will be too late if you don’t hold on to it now.

Zhong Ning shook his head helplessly, and then said earnestly:

"I don't need so many servants. If you really want to repay me, remember to study hard after you return. Strive to pass the imperial examination one day, serve the country loyally, and serve the people!"

Zhong Ning's voice was filled with encouragement. The three children looked at each other with clear eyes, as if they had received an order. They patted their chests and promised:

"Your Highness, rest assured. We will study hard and serve our country and the people in the future!"

"Okay, I believe in you!" After saying that, Zhong Ning signaled Feng Xin to take them downstairs and settle them down.

After they left, Zhong Ning stroked his chin, thought again and again, and then suddenly said: "Hua Rong, Xue Ming, Yue Sheng..."

A secret guard hiding in a tree fork leaped up and knelt in front of Zhong Ning.

The other two female secret guards also knelt down one after another.

Listen carefully to Zhong Ning's instructions!

"How do your three martial arts compare to Feng Xin's?" Zhong Ning asked.

The three of them exchanged a glance, and then Hua Rong spoke first: "The secret guards' martial arts are divided into different levels. Feng Xin is a Class A, first-class secret guard, and I am a Class B, first-class secret guard."

"A-level secret guards are few in number, and my subordinates are also of B-level one." Xue Mingyuesheng replied.

It seems that it is quite good that the emperor can equip himself with a Class A.

Zhong Ning stroked his chin in thought. Through today's incident, he suddenly realized that there are many brothels in this era that force women of good families into prostitution.

It is actually unrealistic to try to avoid this from happening.

Behind every brothel stands a respected official and nobleman. As long as they don't fall, things like what happened today will continue to happen frequently.

Even in the 21st century, when countries have banned human trafficking, there are still cases of people of good character being forced into prostitution or being forced to sign various debt agreements.

The lives of the lower class are always restricted. Even if they want to break free from these shackles, they have no way to seek help.

Any small force can force the entire family of ants like them to death!

"I want to create an organization called the Dark Chamber. On the surface, it will be an intelligence gathering center, but secretly, it will be responsible for supporting the world and saving the people!"

"The main thing is to help people who are being trafficked. If a family is selling their child, we should find a way to bring them into our organization and train them into useful talent. We shouldn't let them end up in prostitution."

"If they have been sold by human traffickers, find a way to send them back."

At this time, Feng Xin had already returned.

After sending the three little ones to the guest house and handing them over to Lady Ruan for proper arrangements, he naturally returned to the Qionghua Courtyard.

Zhong Ning waved his hand and asked him to come forward and listen together.

"If I hadn't happened to witness something like what happened today, they would have been subjected to inhumane torture, and their lives would have been completely ruined in such a filthy place."

"I don't know how far I can go, but I will save as many people as I can. I will shoulder all the expenses."

"Feng Xin, Hua Rong, I'll leave this matter to you two."

"Rent a large house on the outskirts of the city, find some children begging on the streets or in dilapidated temples, bring them over, and train them together."

"Start with learning to read and write, then look at their personality traits. If they are suitable for martial arts, we will arrange martial arts training for them; if they are suitable for literary studies, we will arrange for them to study literature."

"No matter what field you engage in, you will be a reserve talent in the Dark Chamber!"

"Do you understand?"

Feng Xin and Hua Rong looked at each other.

If this is the case, how can they protect the princess?

"Don't worry about protecting me. Xue Ming Yue Sheng is more than enough. If that doesn't work, there are still the Imperial Guards! Who dares to cause trouble for me so easily?"

After saying this, Zhong Ning actually took out five silver notes worth one thousand taels from his sleeve, and said, "This is the first batch of funds. I will give you one month. I want to see that the basic prototype of the dark chamber is in place!"

"Besides that, you should also pay more attention. If there are talents suitable for our Dark Chamber, you can absorb them!"

"Yes, my subordinates take orders!"

Feng Xin and Hua Rong stepped forward to take the banknotes, bowed and took their leave!

Xue Ming and Yue Sheng looked at Zhong Ning with burning eyes, as if they were expecting what kind of tasks Zhong Ning would assign them.

"You will stay by my side for the time being, and help me train a few girls who are good at martial arts. That way, in the future, if there are important tasks, you will have someone to hand over to, and I can let you go and do the big things!"

Xue Ming and Yue Sheng exchanged a glance, secretly thinking that their master had indeed thought everything through.

Those two men left, and only the two of them were left. They should protect their master well.
