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

The kidnapper had become numb.

He recalled the girl he had abducted back then, and he had a very deep impression of that girl.

These tiny, delicately carved dolls are incredibly cute and could easily fetch a good price.

However, the girl later jumped into the water and ran away, and was never seen again.

He had heard that a child from the Marquis of Dingbei's mansion had gone missing and had not been found, but he did not suspect the girl.

If that child belonged to the Marquis of Dingbei's household, he should have gone back long ago, right?

Unexpectedly, that child really was from the Marquis of Dingbei's household!

The kidnapper was stunned, speechless.

A daughter of King Zhao and a daughter of Marquis Dingbei—that's enough to keep him busy for a long time.

I had hoped that I could save my life, but now it seems that not only will I not be able to save my life, but I will also die a very gruesome death!

Qin Wanying frowned slightly.

He has lured more than 500 people, but he couldn't see them all.

I could only see a portion of the content, including information about seventy or eighty women and children being abducted, and I had images in my mind.

There are only a few channels for human traffickers to sell their people. If you investigate those places thoroughly, you can find most of the women and children.

Seeing that he was doomed, Hou Yang told the kidnapper that if he confessed, he could be given a dignified death.

He confessed everything he could.

Hou Yang reported the matter and actively launched a search for the sold women and girls.

This was a major case, and Hou Yang reported it directly to the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Hou Yang went in carrying a thick stack of papers, which contained information about the abducted children as told by Qin Wanying, as well as the contents of Kang's confession.

Gong Yunyi, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, took the stack of papers, his brows furrowing in worry.

"So much? The kidnapper actually confessed to so much?" Gong Yunyi asked in surprise.

In all his years as an official, he had never seen so many testimonies.

Even in the biggest cases, there isn't such a thick stack of confessions.

“Minister Gong, most of these are not testimonies from the kidnappers, but rather information about abducted women and children as told by a young woman,” Hou Yang said respectfully.

"A girl? What girl?" Gong Yunyi asked, puzzled.

As previously mentioned, the Ministry of Justice was perfunctory in its handling of cases and its interrogations were not thorough.

Could it be that the people below had no more testimonies to record, and had resorted to other irrelevant testimonies?

Wouldn't that be even more perfunctory?

Thinking about this, Gong Yunyi got a little angry.

"It's that fortune-telling girl from Tianji Garden," Hou Yang replied.

Upon hearing this, Gong Yunyi was taken aback.

The fortune-telling girl at Tianji Garden was quite famous; he had even heard of her reputation in the Ministry of Justice.

However, Gong Yunyi deals with all sorts of cases every day, and everything is based on evidence. In fact, he doesn't really believe in things like fortune telling.

Gong Yunyi became even angrier.

Unable to solve the case, are they just trying to fob me off with a fortune teller?

But when he picked up the first page of that stack of papers, he froze for a moment.

In the 98th year of the Great Yao calendar, a boy, three or four years old, dressed in yellow linen clothes and wearing a silver necklace, was sold to the childless old man Li in Meigu County by a small grove of trees in the western part of Xiahekou, Yuezhou.

In the 105th year of the Great Yao calendar, in the western market of Jinzhong Village, Yuanzhou, a girl, about six years old, dressed in red, with two topknots in her hair, was sold to a fisherman's family in Zilangbo as a child bride.

......

As he turned the pages, Gong Yunyi's initial anger turned to surprise, and finally, he was deeply shocked.

Can this girl really predict things to such an extent?

The time, place, child's age, appearance, and where to sell it were all calculated!

It was as if it wasn't calculated, but witnessed with one's own eyes!

He had heard of people who could open their third eye and see things that ordinary people could not see.

He initially scoffed at this idea.

But now, looking at what's written on the page in front of him, he began to doubt whether such a person really existed.

"Have you checked the information here? Does it match?" Gong Yunyi asked hurriedly.

"Some people who live closer to Kyoto went to investigate and found the two missing children. All the information matched exactly what the girl said. The kidnapper also admitted that it was true."

Hou Yang is quite reliable in handling matters.

He had to make sure that what he showed to his superiors was accurate.

Gong Yunyi broke out in a cold sweat.

He was speechless when he heard that many high-ranking officials and nobles in Kyoto went to this girl from the Tianji Garden to have their fortunes told.

He felt contempt, thinking it was nothing more than some supernatural and bizarre stuff.

Now that he has witnessed the girl's strength firsthand, he can't help but wonder if she is truly a divine being.

The things that even the Ministry of Justice couldn't find despite their best efforts, the girl just said she "saw" with ease!

That's amazing!

Gong Yunyi immediately dispatched a large number of people to find these children based on the information provided.

As a result, a few days later, without exception, everything the girl mentioned was found!

Gong Yunyi was beyond shocked.

He went directly to see the Minister of Justice.

This girl is amazing!

Wouldn't it be a pity if we couldn't serve Emperor Yao?

We must tell the Minister no matter what, and find a way to get her to help the Ministry of Justice with the case!

Gong Yunyi was anxious and went straight into the office of the Minister of Justice.

"Minister He, the case of trafficking women and children a few days ago has been resolved. More than 500 women and children were trafficked, and most of them have been found."

Minister of Justice He Zhiling was taken aback.

He knew about this case, and he knew it was a big case.

However, since the case was entirely entrusted to Gong Yunyi, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Now, Gong Yunyi says that the number of people abducted is as high as more than 500, which shocks him greatly.

More than 500 people?

This case is huge!

However, what surprised him even more was that most of these 500 people were found!

In the past, even if a trafficker was caught, he would hide it and not say anything, let alone say where he sold the child, so as not to let the government find evidence to convict him.

Now, more than 500 people have been implicated!

Is this kidnapper out of his mind?

Or did their conscience finally awaken?

"Tell me in detail how these 500-plus people came forward and how they were found!"

"Does the Minister know about the Heavenly Mystery Garden?" Gong Yunyi asked in return.

Minister He's eyes widened.

"You mean, these people were identified by the girls from Tianji Academy?"

"More or less. The girl mentioned seventy or eighty people, and by following these people's stories, along with the kidnapper's testimony, we found the others as well."

Minister He opened his mouth slightly.

He had worked in the Ministry of Justice for many years, starting from a junior position, and had seen all sorts of strange and bizarre things.

He thought he had seen a lot of the world, but the fact that the girl from Tianji Garden found more than 500 abducted children was still beyond his comprehension.

Gong Yunyi took out everything the girl had dictated earlier.

Minister He stared at the words on the page, speechless with astonishment.
