The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

night.

As usual, the kidnapper drove his carriage into the old lady's courtyard.

He touched the crescent-shaped scar on his arm, his expression indifferent.

This mother and son are efficient in their work, and the women they provide are all quite good.

The kidnappers were still quite willing to cooperate with them.

He started doing this when he was twenty, and now he has abducted more than 500 women and girls.

It is said that karma is cyclical and retribution is inevitable.

He doesn't believe that.

He had been a kidnapper for so many years and had not suffered any retribution.

He could see hatred in the eyes of every child who was abducted.

He found it laughable.

Do you think that once you grow up, you can catch me and bring me to justice?

What a joke!

The kidnapper got off the carriage after thinking about it.

The woman's son went directly to the cellar to retrieve the person.

At that moment, Yun'er, who was in the cellar, heard the commotion outside.

She stayed in the cellar for a whole day.

My arms were numb from being tied up, and the cellar was freezing cold, getting colder as night fell.

The cellar was pitch black, and she had no idea how long she had been there.

It felt like an eternity had passed.

She was already somewhat dazed. Would anyone come to rescue her?

Is it possible that I'm really going to be kidnapped?

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

Just as I was trembling and lost in thought, I heard a noise outside.

It felt like the cellar lock had been opened, opened with a key.

Then the cellar door opened, and moonlight streamed in.

Under the moonlight, a man walked in. Yun'er looked closely and saw that it was the woman's son!

Yun'er was afraid.

She thought they were there to rescue her, but they turned out to be human traffickers!

Could something have gone wrong?

Yun'er stood up and tried desperately to back away, but the man grabbed her and walked away.

Yun'er made muffled noises, but because her mouth was blocked, she couldn't make a loud sound and resisted going out.

The man slapped Yun'er across the face, making her see stars from the pain.

Yun'er almost burst into tears.

She sensed that something was wrong.

The shadow guards didn't come to rescue her; it seems she's really going to be kidnapped!

After Yun'er was pulled out, she saw a carriage parked outside, with a person sitting in front of it. Was it that kidnapper?

She was forcefully pushed onto the carriage by the man.

Yun'er was crying and extremely anxious.

Just then, a sound came from outside the carriage, as if many people were coming. The outside became brighter, and it seemed that these people were all carrying torches.

The old woman's screams came from outside, and the horses in front of the carriage were neighing.

Has someone come to rescue me?

Very good!

Immediately afterwards, the man who had pushed him onto the carriage screamed as he was dragged off.

Immediately afterwards, a man who looked like a soldier got onto the carriage and untied her ropes.

As soon as your arm gets warm, your blood starts circulating.

I'm really saved!

She peered out of the carriage and saw that the coachman, the old woman, and her son were all tied up, surrounded by a group of officials who were taking them into custody.

The three people who were subdued in the courtyard all looked completely bewildered.

They still don't know how they were exposed. Could it be that they were seen tying up the girl, and someone reported it to the authorities?

Yun'er rubbed her arm and walked up to the old lady angrily, saying, "You're a human trafficker! I kindly saved you, but you repaid kindness with enmity. Bringing you to justice today is doing justice on behalf of Heaven!"

It turns out that after Yun'er was arrested, the shadow guards followed the old lady's son and found the kidnapper.

The Marquis's family felt it was better to let the government handle the matter, so one of their bodyguards went to report to the authorities, saying that he and Yun'er had gotten separated, and that he had heard a girl's cries coming from a house while passing by, and suspected that Yun'er had been abducted by this family.

Just as the kidnapper drove the carriage over, he led the soldiers away.

At this moment, the old lady felt as if this moment was destined.

She has dreamed more than once that she and her son have been arrested, and she wakes up in a cold sweat.

But after waking up, she kept telling herself that dreams are the opposite of reality; if she dreamed of being arrested, it meant she wouldn't be arrested.

To make money, you have to be ruthless.

But deep in her heart, there seemed to be something waiting for, something fearing.

Now, she finally knows what she has been waiting for and what she has been fearing.

His own trial has finally arrived.

The old lady was so frightened that her legs went weak and her chin trembled.

The cripple was already drenched in sweat.

He felt like it was over.

However, I forced myself to calm down.

Although I have been arrested, the authorities may not have any evidence.

As long as he stubbornly denies it, who would know that he has trafficked more than 500 people?

So they shouted to the officers and soldiers, "Sir, this is the first time we've done this! It's our first offense! Please show us leniency!"

The elderly mother and son standing nearby immediately understood.

Yes, as long as you say it's your first offense, who would know you've swindled so many people before?

If you only kidnap one person, you won't be sentenced to death.

The three men were taken away by the soldiers. Because the area was relatively close to Kyoto, they were imprisoned in Kyoto.

No matter how they were interrogated, the three of them remained adamant, insisting that they had only tricked this one person and would never admit to the others.

Shadow Guard and Yun'er are back.

When Yun'er returned and saw Qin Wanyue, tears immediately streamed down her face.

She was just a little girl, and she was terrified to experience something like that.

Qin Wanyue felt sorry for Yun'er and hugged her, patting her back to comfort her.

I also enjoyed the rhyme.

When the shadow guard told Qin Wanying that the kidnapper was adamant about not admitting to any other crimes, Qin Wanying smiled slightly.

She changed into a white dress, the same one she wore when she was telling fortunes, put on a veiled hat, got into a carriage, and headed straight for the Ministry of Justice.

She wanted to go directly to the head of the Ministry of Justice in charge of the case.

Hou Yang, the chief clerk of the Ministry of Justice, sat at his desk, at a loss for what to do.

Based on his years of experience in handling cases, these people are definitely veterans; they must have abducted many people before.

However, no matter how much they pressed him, he stubbornly refused to admit it.

If these human traffickers were to confess, and I were to solve a major case, I'd definitely get a promotion.

The position of Assistant Minister of Justice is currently vacant. If this case is solved, the position will be mine.

At this moment, someone came from outside to report.

"My lord, someone requests an audience."

Hou Yang looked annoyed. "Who is this person?"

"Reporting to Your Excellency, she is a fortune teller from the Heavenly Mystery Academy."

Hou Yang was taken aback.

The fortune-telling girl at Tianji Garden?

This person is famous in Kyoto; everyone knows him.

His fortune-telling abilities were so extraordinary that a single divination from him was worth a fortune.

Many high-ranking officials have to wait in line to have their fortunes told by her.

Now, this girl has actually come looking for me on her own initiative?

Hou Yang immediately sat up straight and said, "Let her in quickly."

Qin Wanying entered the room, and Hou Yang immediately stood up.

Qin Wanying bowed to Hou Yang.

Hou Yang immediately asked her to sit down.

"May I ask what brings you here, young lady?" Hou Yang asked with a smile.

"I know that you are investigating a kidnapping case and are facing difficulties, so I have come to help," Qin Wanying replied.
