My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back

Xiao Yuche felt extremely desperate and immediately struggled, "Let me go, you liar, I don't want to believe you anymore, let me go... uh... what did you say?"

See an official? Steal money?

Wouldn't that be...

Xiao Yuche was a little slow to react, still staring at Qiu Ning stupidly. It wasn't until a pain came from his arm that he suddenly realized what was happening. The next second, he immediately shouted:

"Wow... I didn't mean to steal your money. Please let me go. I don't want to go to the authorities."

After howling, he yelled at the trafficker couple: "Dad, Mom, please save me quickly. If I really go to see the authorities, my life will be over..."

Seeing that Xiao Yuche was still in a daze one second and started to show off his acting skills the next, Qiu Ning was also amazed.

Seeing Xiao Yuche's ability to cry, he probably used it a lot in front of the Queen. He immediately joined in and said:

"No, you have to go today, whether you want to or not. That was the betrothal money I saved up with great difficulty for marrying my wife, and you took it all away. If you can't compensate me with the silver, you have to compensate me with my wife."

After saying this, Qiu Ning cast a scrutinizing gaze at the trafficker couple. "A son's debt must be paid by his father. It just so happens that your parents are here today. You must give me an explanation for this matter, or none of you will get away."

The human trafficker couple was dumbfounded and both stood there in a daze.

However, before the couple could say anything, Qiu Ning started yelling again.

"My dear uncles, aunts, grandparents, please bear witness for me. This kid stole my purse a few days ago, and now, by God's grace, I've caught him again. Everyone, please give us your opinion and tell us what to do about this matter."

As soon as the crowd of onlookers understood the situation, they began to accuse Xiao Yuche;

"Oh, he stole needles when he was a child, and stole gold when he grew up. He even dared to steal fifty taels of silver. In my opinion, he should be sent to the government and beaten with a few boards." The aunt who bought vegetables and spoke first couldn't help but speak out.

"How can that be possible? With his small body, a few blows might kill him. Wouldn't that make him an executioner?"

"How could a child possibly spend so much money? He probably took it home and gave it to his parents. This young man is right. A son's debts must be paid by his father. As for the money, he should ask the adults for it."

At this time, everyone turned their heads and looked at the human trafficker couple present.

The other party obviously did not expect such a sudden change. The man stared at Qiu Ning fiercely, as if he was dissatisfied with Qiu Ning for daring to ruin his good deeds.

At this moment, the two of them realized that they had been tricked by Qiu Ning.

Seeing this, Qiu Ning immediately shrank back in shock and took two steps back: "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you trying to silence me so you don't have to return the money?

"Wow, kind-hearted uncles and aunts, you have seen that this family is bullying a weak man like me. I wonder if any kind-hearted person is willing to go to the government office with me to report to the authorities. I am willing to offer a reward of one or two taels of silver. I am really afraid that I will be bullied by this person before I even get to the government office."

The crowd watching saw the fierce look in the trafficker's eyes, which hadn't been retracted yet. A few people actually stepped forward, and one of them, a tall and burly man, said:

"At the foot of the Imperial City, I really don't believe anyone dares to be so rampant. Boy, don't be afraid. I don't want a single penny in reward. I will voluntarily escort you to the government office to report."

Another porter who was carrying a load also put down his shoulder pole and said righteously, "And me, if they dare to bully you on the road, first ask me, Old Li, if I agree with the shoulder pole in my hand!"

Immediately afterwards, several more enthusiastic people gathered around and expressed their willingness to escort Qiu Ning to report to the police.

Seeing this, the trafficker woman couldn't help but start to defend herself, "Don't believe him, my child has been honest and well behaved since he was young. There's no way he could have stolen his money. He's just blackmailing us!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman was spat at by an old lady with her grandson, who said:

"You are a blind and rotten-hearted person. This child is a bad boy because of your parents' bad behavior. Do you really think we are blind and can't see that you just want to swallow up other people's money?"

"That's right. Since both sides insist on their own opinions, let's report it to the police. Then we'll immediately know who's right and who's wrong."

They were human traffickers, so how could they dare to go see the officials? They immediately avoided looking around and stammered, refusing to speak.

This makes it even more problematic.

Seeing the other party trying to escape, Qiu Ning suddenly spoke to the people who were willing to escort her, "Thank you for your help, my dear heroes. I am deeply grateful. How about this? To prevent this couple from escaping, I would like to ask for your help. Take them to the government office. The officials will judge whether they are right or wrong."

Seeing that the situation was not good, the human trafficker couple turned around and squeezed through the crowd and tried to run away, but they were caught by the tall man who spoke first.

"Still want to run? There really is something wrong with you. Let's go see the official!"

The man who was caught was a human trafficker named Zhang Ergou. Seeing this situation, he was really panicked and tried to struggle and said:

"Let me go. The silver was stolen by this kid. What does it have to do with me?"

"Aren't you his father? If you don't care, who will?"

"I'm not..." Zhang Ergou was about to blurt out something, but suddenly stopped when he thought of something.

If everyone knew that he was a human trafficker, would he still have a chance to survive?

But he couldn't go to this government office. If the child's identity was discovered, he would also be exposed as a human trafficker.

But there was no way Zhang Ergou could run away. The tall man's hands were too strong and he couldn't break free.

The same thing happened to the woman, who was quickly grabbed by the surrounding enthusiastic people, tied up with ropes, and thrown to the ground. She looked very embarrassed.

The commotion here soon attracted the patrolling guards.

The people made way for it and talked about what had happened here.

The person who came was Zhao Ping. He and his good brother Zhao Da were patrolling in this area. As soon as they turned the corner, they saw a lot of people gathered here.

"What's going on!" Zhao Ping asked.

Qiu Ning took the initiative to step forward, explained the cause and consequences of the incident, and explained that he was preparing to take the family of three to see the officials.

Zhao Ping glanced at Zhang Ergou and his wife with scrutiny. Seeing that they were avoiding his gaze and looked extremely guilty, he knew there was something wrong.

He immediately raised his hand and prepared to take down the two men separately with Zhao Da. If these two men were really problematic, they would be able to eliminate a scourge for the capital today and would be a great achievement.

However, when Zhao Ping glanced at him, he happened to see Xiao Yuche who was adjusting his robe.

He suddenly stopped and tried to call out, "Prince?"
