I became an exiled convict after we got married

Chapter 17
Listening to this group of villagers wiping tears with sad faces and talking to each other, Wan Zhijing and the others naturally felt uncomfortable.

As for the lost child, a concubine's daughter was also lost in the Duke of Zhen's mansion a few years ago, and the mansion tried their best to find it, but there was no news of it for so many years.

The population is lost, and the longer the delay, the slimmer the chance of finding it back.

Although the villages around the capital are not far from the capital, the affairs of the villages are still under the jurisdiction of the town and county to which the village belongs. Even if they go to the capital, Jing Zhaoyin will still hand over the case to the villages and towns.

Wan Zhijing saw that they were really pitiful. Although he knew that there was a high possibility that they would not be found, he still wanted to do his part, so he inquired carefully about the age of the lost children, where they were lost, and other detailed information, hoping to get the information from them. Find clues.

The villagers were desperate at first, and they came here today to try their luck after listening to other people's suggestions. They even stopped two waves of nobles coming down from the mountain, but they were all driven away by the guards. This third wave, although there is no guarantee , but it gave them a glimmer of hope.

When Wan Jinlan listened carefully, she heard the movement around her, and raised her eyes to see a group of men with fierce faces rushing from a distance, her whole body tensed up.

"Stop them quickly, they are all kidnappers."

A loud roar came from the air.

Wan Jinlan sharp-eyed saw Xiao Minghuan among the people chasing the kidnapper.

Thinking of that letter, she pulled herself together.

When the villagers who lost their children heard that these were kidnappers, they stopped them one by one as if they saw enemies.

This group of kidnappers was not small in number, and their attacks were very fierce, but they were flanked back and forth, but they did not gain the upper hand.

"Brother Heng, third sister, hide behind me."

Wan Jinlan and Wan Zhijing guarded their younger siblings behind their backs.

Although Wan Zhijing took the imperial examination route, he has also practiced martial arts. Although he is not very good, it is still enough to protect his younger siblings at this time.

When danger comes, of course my family will protect my family immediately.

Moreover, since Wan Jinlan was reminded by that letter, although she did not know whether it was true or not, it did not prevent her from making preparations.

She still understands the truth that two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and she doesn't think that she can avoid all risks by coaxing herself with great strength and arrogance. After all, if what the letter says is true, she will pay for herself marriage.

As soon as she whistled, not long after, the expert guards of the Wan family who were hiding on the mountain approached like a tiger descending the mountain.

Seeing the scene, Xiao Minghuan instantly fell to one side, his face darkened.

In order to set up today's situation, he has spent a lot of effort.

Since he had the intention of winning Wan Jinlan, he tried every means to get to know her, and knew that she was a bit good at fisting and kicking.

He has been staring at this wave of human traffickers for some time, and found that they are often active around Huayan Temple. As for the abducted children, he only saw two that have not been transferred. As for their real lair, they have not been found yet. .

For today, he deliberately frightened the snake, and led the people all the way to chase the traffickers in this direction.

As for this group of villagers, he sent the news to lure them over, firstly to hold back Wan Jinlan's footsteps, and secondly to hold back Wan Jinlan's hind legs during the chaos.

As for how to achieve his own goals, he had to play by ear. In the process, he naturally had to express himself well.

He had a general understanding of Wan Jinlan's temperament, and he would not refuse to save her.

"Stop all your hands, and whoever moves again, I will kill her!"

A woman was pinched by the neck with her face flushed, her eyes were bulging, and she couldn't breathe.

The moment everyone paused, other traffickers also wanted to follow the example of that person and take a villager hostage.

Wan Jinlan slammed the stone into the man's legs and knees with sharp eyes and quick hands. Taking advantage of that moment, she jumped up with her toes on the ground, using the crooked neck tree two meters away as a fulcrum, her body almost It was a flying kick that kicked the man out, and happened to hit the human trafficker who took the peasant woman as a hostage.

The two of them piled up in a pile, and the peasant woman was also thrown out. Although she was thrown, her life was not in danger.

The guards of the government quickly stepped forward to arrest the traffickers.

The scene was brought under control in an instant.

Wan Jinlan glanced at Xiao Minghuan, wondering what exactly he was planning, or if he had any backhands?
After reading that letter, when she saw Xiao Minghuan again today, she already regarded him as someone with malicious intentions.

Although she didn't know whether today's incident was really a coincidence or Xiao Minghuan did it on purpose, she didn't understand what was going on, the hero saved the beauty, ruined her reputation, how could it be ruined?
The traffickers were all captured by the guards, Wan Jinlan lightly brushed the dust off her dress, looked at Xiao Minghuan who looked rejoicing, "Your Highness can take the people back for business."

After some fighting, everyone Sihao didn't notice, and had shifted their position to the edge of the cliff before they knew it.

It is not accurate to say that it is a cliff. This is a huge gap formed after the earthquake. The distance from the opposite bank varies from wide to narrow, and the bottom is bottomless.

The widest point is more than ten feet, and the narrowest point can be crossed by a grown man with a single jump.But the gap in the mountain is not short. I heard that there are ferocious beasts at the bottom. If people who fall from above are not in danger, it will take several hours to find a way to climb up.

Xiao Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead with a look of rejoicing and said, "I have to thank Cousin Lan today."

At this time, from the top of the cliff, a masked man quietly climbed up, the man jumped up like a toad, and then caught Brother Heng who was the youngest standing behind Wan Zhijing hands.

"Let them all go, otherwise, I will take this young master's life for Hades."

Change happens in the blink of an eye.

Wan Jinyu's complexion changed drastically when she saw Brother Heng being laid down. She wished she could replace her with her body, and looked anxiously at Wan Jinlan.

The traffickers who were detained by the guards looked at each other.

The man on the opposite side was wearing a mask, but he couldn't see who it was.

But those who do their business are all hobs who walk in the rivers and lakes. Whenever something happens, they will hold on to their own lives and run away if they can. How can they be so kind as to care about their companions.

So, who is this kind person?
Xiao Minghuan stepped forward and said: "Let go of him, I am the third prince of the dynasty, King Duan, and you use me as a pawn, which is much more useful than him."

The masked man shouted: "Stop for me, or..."

Before he finished speaking, Brother Heng's neck was cut open with a dagger, and bloodstains flowed out.

"Let him go, otherwise, he will have to be buried with me today!"

Wan Jinyu was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, she yelled, "If you dare to touch him again, none of you will run away!"

The man seemed unmoved, as if he was really with the traffickers.

Xiao Minghuan raised his hands and said, "I can bind my hands and exchange with him voluntarily. It is more useful for you to hold me hostage than him. Holding me hostage can ensure that you can leave safely."

After speaking, he looked at Wan Jinlan reassuringly, "Cousin Lan, don't worry, I won't let brother Heng get into trouble."

　Human traffickers were called human teeth in ancient times, and women were called matchmakers, but the type of work belongs to an intermediary, and human teeth cannot reflect the hatefulness of human traffickers!So I directly wrote human traffickers, I searched, and it can be called that in ancient times
