Xia Xizhi untied the seven or eight girls in the dry well and took out the things stuffed in their mouths.

Someone broke down and couldn't help sobbing.

Xia Xizhi comforted them, "It's okay, don't be afraid, you are saved, girls, quickly climb out along the ladder."

"Thank you, lady."

"Thank you, lady..."

Several girls nodded and thanked him quickly, then stood up and lined up to climb up. Although their bound legs and feet could not be used, they endured the pain and climbed up with hope.

"Miss, are you from Dayong?" Yu Ling couldn't help asking as she looked at Xia Xizhi's face.

"I am the concubine of Xia Shen, the Minister of Works, and now I am the concubine of the General's Mansion."

At this point, Xia Xizhi, who had excellent hearing, seemed to have heard something.

"It seems someone has returned. Come with me quickly. Your leg is injured. Let me carry you."

Xia Xizhi squatted in front of Yu Ling while talking. Yu Ling didn't act pretentiously. She quickly tidied her clothes and lay on her back.

"Don't worry about me if anything happens."

"Don't worry, there's no such thing as an emergency. I'm confident that I can come to save people."

Xia Xizhi's confident tone made Yu Ling feel much more relaxed.

Looking at the back of Xia Xizhi's head, Yu Ling pursed her lips and thought about what she had just said.

Xia Shen, the Xia family where she gave birth to her daughter.

This girl said that she was Xia Shen's concubine's daughter, and she looked about the same age as her daughter... Thinking of a certain possibility, Yu Ling's face gradually became gloomy.

As soon as Xia Xizhi climbed out of the dry well, she found that several human traffickers had surrounded them.

"These women were able to escape. Where are the fifth and sixth brothers?" a man with a soft voice said gloomily.

"Old Five and Old Six came back before us, they wouldn't be... "

"Oh no! There are people from the government office outside!" a younger man said hurriedly.

As he spoke, there was a burst of dense footsteps outside the yard, and the gate was kicked open with a bang.

A group of police officers with swords rushed in, and the leader shouted loudly,

"Don't move! This is a case in the government office. Get down, or I'll kill you without mercy!"

Following him in was Huo Jin, dressed in brocade, and next to him came a man dressed in the uniform of a sixth-rank official.

The traffickers panicked when they saw this. The man with the soft voice immediately pointed at Xia Xizhi.

"Go capture the weakest one as a hostage!"

Several human traffickers immediately rushed towards Xia Xizhi.

Xia Xizhi smiled evilly, he really knows how to choose people...

The moment the people rushed over, Xia Xizhi dropped Yu Ling and then punched her several times with such great force that the human traffickers were stunned for a moment.

Just when the human traffickers were confused, the detectives came up and pinned them all to the ground in a few seconds.

Looking at the human trafficker with visible bruises and swelling around his eyes and face, Huo Jin's mouth twitched, and he felt a surge of fear.

Xizhi also has this ability...

It seems that Xizhi had shown mercy to his men before.

Thinking of this, Huo Jin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Xizhi really treats him differently!

......

"Xizhi, come here. Let me introduce you. This is Lord Fang Que from the government office. If you have any trouble in the future, you can look for him."

Xia Xizhi came over and bent his knees slightly.

"Commoner Xia Xizhi greets Lord Fang."

Since Huo Jin only called her by her name and didn't introduce her as the concubine of the general's mansion, she didn't say anything.

Fang Que said quickly, "Miss Xia, there's no need to be so polite. This time, it's all thanks to you, otherwise these girls would have suffered. I will report this to the higher-ups and try to apply for a reward for you."

"No need." Xia Xizhi said quickly.

"Master Fang, can this case be kept private? Most of these girls are unmarried. If the whole city knew they were arrested, it would have a significant impact on them..."

The girls immediately looked at Fang Que nervously. One girl got so anxious that she fell to her knees.

"Sir, please, if outsiders know that I have been arrested, I will have no choice but to hang myself to save the family's reputation."

Then a young woman dressed up as a woman also knelt down quickly.

"Sir, please don't make it public. If you do, my husband's family will drown me in a pond if they find out I was caught by human traffickers!"

One after another, they all fell to their knees.

Fang Que had thought of this a long time ago and had not intended to make it public.

"Hurry up and get up. This case is not open to the public."

These words made the captured girl's face relax a little. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, thanked him and stood up.

The pretty lady with a bun on her head thanked him with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you, sir. You are my second parent. Wuwuwuwu..."

Fang Que smiled.

"You little woman, I'm only thirty, how can I be your father......"

The burly man with a rough voice immediately followed up,

"That's right. My parents are already thirty years old and haven't found a wife yet, so how could we have a daughter?"

Fang Que glanced at him speechlessly.

"If you don't know how to speak, you can just shut up."

The woman was slightly startled, her face suddenly turned red, and she spoke shyly,

"If my lord does not mind...I am willing to marry you."

Fang Que was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you say you have an in-law family?"

The woman's eyes were red.

"My husband passed the imperial examination and wanted to marry into a wealthy family. He already disliked me and wanted to find a chance to divorce me. I've been missing these past few days, so his family must have divorced me.

Even if they didn't know that this woman had been kidnapped by criminals, they would probably find a reason to drown her in the pond..."

As she spoke, the woman hugged Fang Que's thighs.

"Sir, please save me. I am willing to serve you like a slave."

He felt something soft on his legs, and his ears turned slightly red.

"Hurry up and get up! This is so shameless! Ahem, I'll go to your parents' house to discuss this matter later."

"Erhu, send her back and give that family a warning."

Hu Zi chuckled,

"Sir, I understand."

The master has taken a fancy to this young lady...

At my age, spring has finally arrived!

"Go back. Don't worry. If your family dares to drown you in a pond, I will take care of it for you..."

The woman wiped her tears and nodded.

"Thank you very much, sir..."

.......

Xia Xizhi was watching from the side with a smile on her face. She didn't expect that she could save someone and eat some melon at the same time.

You know what, this pretty girl and this gentleman are really a good match.

In fact, Xia Xizhi didn't let him make it public not only for fear of affecting these girls, but also for a selfish motive.

She just wanted Yu Ling to see that Xuanyuan Qing didn't tell her brother to come and save her after she returned.

If Xuanyuan Qing knew that she was rescued at this moment, she would definitely pretend to be affectionate.

.......

At the same time, Xuanyuan Qing, who had returned to the villa, bumped into Xuanyuan Yu who was coming out of the study, and was startled with nervousness.

"What's wrong with you? You don't look right." Xuanyuan Yu was puzzled.

"It's okay, I just have an upset stomach." Xuanyuan Qing adjusted her expression and pretended nothing happened, then covered her stomach.

"Brother, my stomach feels uncomfortable. I'm leaving now..."

After saying that, she turned around and left quickly.

Xuanyuan Yu smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"You're already this old, but you're still so impulsive and reckless. You don't act like a girl at all..."
