Chapter 193 Ancient World 10: Human Traffickers

The two of them had no purpose, they just walked back and forth on the street. After all, they had already bought most of the things they wanted to buy, and they had already got the lanterns they liked, so they didn't have any big demands.

It's just that I finally got out and I don't want to go back now, so I'm just hanging around outside.

Zuo Zhizhi looked left and right, wishing she could imprint these scenes deeply in her mind, otherwise the days to come would be too boring.

Just when she was strolling around, Zuo Zhizhi suddenly discovered that there was a special person in the crowd.

There's no way. I've been traveling through time for so long and have never seen any protagonist. Now there's someone with the word "protagonist" written on his head, which naturally caught my attention!

Zuo Zhizhi took a closer look and found that the clothes the man was wearing were not particularly fancy, but just ordinary styles.

But at this moment she looked very anxious, looking left and right, as if she was looking for something.

Seeing her like this, Zuo Zhizhi had a bad feeling, so she didn't care about anything else and started to simply check the outline of the story.

It turns out that this person is the heroine of a peasant girl story. Although she comes from a farming family, she is hardworking and kind. The most important thing is that her husband has now taken the imperial examination. Although he is only a Jinshi, he also has a place here.

Of course, these are not the main points. The main point is that the heroine actually discovered the human trafficker!

According to the plot of the original book, the heroine accidentally discovered that someone was missing, so she went to look for him anxiously.

However, his influence was insignificant, and he did not report the incident to the police in time, so by the time they discovered the situation, several people were already missing.

Although several people were found, it was still a concern. After that, the male protagonist tried every possible way to crack down on human traffickers in the capital in order to avenge the female protagonist.

Zuo Zhizhi became alert as soon as she saw it. There were actually human traffickers here, so they couldn't just sit here and look around leisurely.

We must hurry up, after all, human lives are at stake!

You have to know that in ancient times, it was not easy for everyone to survive. The medical conditions were poor, and the living conditions were not so good, so many children unfortunately died.

And now, they must do everything they can to catch the traffickers.

But there must be something wrong if she said it out loud for no reason, so Zuo Zhizhi decided to look for it according to the plot of the original novel. Aimlessly looking around wouldn't work, so just sitting back and waiting would be easy!

Zuo Zhizhi pulled Zuo Qingyu over, moved next to him and said, "I'm a little tired, let's go over and rest first!"

Although Zuo Qingyu felt a little unsatisfied, Zuo Zhizhi was only 8 years old after all, so he didn't take it to heart and took Zuo Zhizhi to the place they had chosen before.

As soon as she entered the private room, Zuo Zhizhi immediately leaned against the window and looked down.

I was afraid that if I was a little late, these people would escape without a trace.

Fortunately, I saw it not too late. At this moment, there were actually a few people acting stealthily.

Perhaps because it was dark around them, they didn't pay any attention to it. Instead, they asked some people to watch over it while the others continued to leave.

"Second brother, come and see!"

Zuo Qingyu looked in the direction of Zuo Zhizhi's finger, and saw an ordinary farmer's man leaning against the alley with a sack. Perhaps he was a little tired, so he sat on the ground and looked around.

"What's wrong with this guy?"

"The bag next to him is moving!"

Zuo Qingyu took a closer look and found that it was indeed the case. Although it was not obvious, there was movement in the sack!

This is definitely not normal!

If you are here to sell poultry, just bring the cage to the designated location. There is no need to tie it up in a sack.

But if it is ordinary fruits and vegetables, they will naturally not move!

The first thing Zuo Qingyu thought of was that this must be the person who took the photo of the beggar.

The brother and sister looked at each other, glanced at the people in the room and confirmed that they were short-staffed, so they ran to the reserved private room next door without hesitation.

"Sister, sister, something bad has happened!"

Zuo Qingan frowned unhappily when he saw the two people rushing over. "How many times have I told you guys that you're grown-up kids? You need to be calm when you're doing things. Got it?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this. We found the person who took the photo of Hanako!"

Zuo Qingan immediately calmed down and said, "Tell me quickly, what's going on!"

After the two men pointed out the people, Zuo Qing'an did not hesitate to let the people in the palace capture them.

Regardless of whether there is any hidden secret, as long as you are safe and sound, it is a good deed!

Zuo Zhizhi and Zuo Qingyu had originally come up with this idea, so they had no objection at all and just sat quietly by the side waiting for them to deal with the person.

Not long after, one of the guards rushed over and said, "Reporting to the Fifth Prince and Princess, that man is indeed the beggar. There are several children in the sack next to him. We have sent someone to the government office. As for the other children, we are still searching."

Zuo Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief. According to the plot of the original book, the missing children were found too late, so some of them had already been transported out of the city.

Now that the human traffickers are still searching outside, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to escape, so these children will be safe.

"There's no need to publicize this. Find someone to notify the victims' parents right away."

The Fifth Prince didn't want to get involved in these matters, so he just gave instructions to others. If some people hadn't checked, they probably wouldn't have discovered his presence at all.

Zuo Zhizhi and Zuo Qingyu were also a little embarrassed. After all, the Fifth Prince was trying to keep a low profile, but they had caused such a big incident.

And according to the book, the family that lost the child this time includes several nobles, and it would be bad if the other princes took it to heart.

After all, the fifth prince wants to keep a low profile!

However, Duan Huairen didn't care at all. "So, you two did a good deed. Then I will give you a gift as a reward."

As he spoke, several servants brought out some small toys. They looked like modern educational toys. Although they were made of jade and jewelry, they were indeed very suitable for children.

Perhaps this was the gift he had originally intended to give, but he took it out in advance to calm her down.

Zuo Zhizhi didn't take it too seriously. After all, this man had received a great favor from her. If it weren't for her, he would still be sick and unable to get out of bed!

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Instead of going to the next room, the two of them chatted with each other here.

Although I knew we would meet here in advance, I had no intention of disturbing you for a long time.

The royal majesty must not be violated, but now it is obvious that a chance encounter would not be so troublesome.

When the two of them were having a great time here, Zuo Zhizhi always felt that she had forgotten something, but because she was chatting too happily, she put it out of her mind.
