girl let me check

Chapter 348 She Can’t

A woman's voice sounded:

"Your Highness, please hold your hand high and let go of him."

A middle-aged woman with gray hair walked out of the room. She was strong and her calloused hands were broad and strong, as if she had worked hard for a long time.

She saluted Fang Weihan with very standard etiquette.

"Ms. Chu, a commoner woman, pays homage to His Highness Prince Guangling."

Fang Weihan: "Do you know me?"

"Of course, among all the knowledgeable people in Changming City, who doesn't know His Highness?"

The woman nodded and looked at her two sons with cold and helpless eyes.

"Except for these two bastards."

The two brothers from the Gai family seemed to be very afraid of their old mother. They stood aside and did not dare to say anything.

"You used to be a maid in a wealthy family?"

Fang Weihan asked.

This woman was able to maintain a neither humble nor arrogant attitude when seeing him, and she had obviously seen the world. In addition, her etiquette is extremely standard. With several conditions superimposed, this is the only possible guess.

"Your Highness has good eyesight." The woman bowed again, "I was once the maid of the Zheng family in Xingyang. I followed the old lady and married into the Gai family twenty years ago."

I'm afraid she's not just an ordinary maid, but at least a person in charge of things.

Fang Weihan couldn't help but be a little confused.

From the look of this woman, she didn't seem to understand what was going on. How could she sell her son so easily?
Those are your own flesh and blood!
"Is what your son said true?" Fang Weihan looked at her, and the pressure of the divine realm was revealed, and the woman was already breathless.

"It's all true, but I have no choice but to do it."

Mr. Chu looked pale and said with some fear.

"The eldest son of the family owed money and was arrested by those people. They also said that if we don't pay back, they will use his life to pay off the debt."

"When I adopted Xiaowu, I had good intentions. Now that our family is in trouble, we can only sell him for money..."

The fourth child of the Gai family, who had been cowering aside and not daring to speak, now took courage and said with tears in his eyes: "Yes, Your Highness, if we don't take the money to save the eldest brother, then the eldest brother's life will be lost!"

"We have no choice but to do so!"

Fang Weihan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

The woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him. The fourth and third sons of the Gai family also learned a lot, and their cries were loud.

It's really...a loving mother and a filial son, as if they share the same hatred with the enemy.

"enough!"

Fang Weihan opened his eyes and shouted, scaring the three of them into silence.

"What exactly happened at that time! Tell me clearly."

"I took a candy ball and stuffed it into Xiaowu's pocket. I told him that the man outside was his uncle and asked him to follow his uncle."

The woman said while wiping tears.

"Who is that person?"

"There's a guy who always hangs around this street. We don't know where he is now."

"Where did they go?"

The three of them, mother and son, looked at each other.

"This... we didn't see it."

Fang Weihan stopped asking questions.

The results of the interrogation showed that what they said was true, and they really didn't know where that person's teeth had gone.

Fang Weihan waved his hand, and the East Palace Guards put away their weapons one after another, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly relaxed.

Several members of the Gai family breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, I suddenly want to ask a question."

Fang Weihan looked at the second son of the Gai family with a half-smile, and the stars in his eyes flashed away.

"Has Brother You really been arrested?"

"No...no."

The second son of the Gai family looked at him in horror, but couldn't control his voice.

"what?!"

The woman's expression changed instantly, she raised her forehead from the ground and looked at her second son in disbelief.

"Shameless thing, didn't you say that your eldest brother was arrested and asked for money to redeem him?"

The woman finally couldn't maintain her composure and screamed.

"I've given you the money, and now you're telling me that he hasn't been arrested? What about the others? Where's the money?!"

Fang Weihan said mockingly, "Is your elder brother joining forces with you to trick your mother into selling Xiao Wu for money?"

The second son of the Gai family looked ashen and said one word with trembling lips:

"……Yes."

The woman screamed, her face turned pale, her body was swaying, and she was furious.

"what!!"

"That's your brother! Are you crazy? Money stained with human blood!"

She rushed over and tore at Gai's second son, tears streaming down her face, and she looked like a demon.

The fourth child of the Gai family came over to break up the fight: "Mom, stop fighting. Second brother didn't mean it."

"roll!"

The woman pushed him staggering and cried miserably:

"My Xiaowu...my Xiaowu..."

The small courtyard was filled with cries, and scattered debris around it, making the already deserted courtyard even more messy.

The son of a borer, the borer bears him. But after all, it can't compare to the blood connection and turns into nourishment.

The emotions of making amends after a lost cause and the regrets when looking back are like crocodile tears, which is astonishing.

Fang Weihan looked at Pei Jie to the side and found that he was standing there in despair, his head lowered and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"What do you think?"

Fang Weihan asked.

"Brother Fang, I don't deal with people very much and I have little experience." Pei Jie said, "Selling your child to Ren Yazi, will the people really agree to this kind of thing?"

"With no other choice, if you can't even save your own life, why do you need the life of your child?"

Fang Weihan said softly.

"It's just that everyone will despise those Ren Yazi, and they will also despise those who sell their children to Ren Yazi. So when there are other choices, generally everyone will not do this."

Pei Jie asked painfully: "Why doesn't the court care about this kind of thing?"

"You know why."

Fang Weihan turned around and led the East Palace Guards out of the courtyard.

"We all know why."

He finished his sentence.

"But in the end no one dared to say it."

Pei Jie stood there blankly.

For the first time in history, he realized that the life of a low-class person, who had been looked down upon by the Pei family in Hedong, was already the end that many people could not reach after working hard all their lives.

"Go from house to house, looking for any trace of that man's teeth."

Fang Weihan ordered his soldiers.

"Here!"

The soldiers quickly dispersed into small groups and began knocking on doors and asking questions.

The moment Pei Jie came to find him, Fang Weihan instantly discovered the hidden undercurrent behind this incident.

He himself planned to go to Changming Beigong to meet Fang Zun and ask his opinion on this matter.

……

……

When Fang Weihan led people to Pei Jie's residence, outside the gate of the East Palace, many East Palace guards were busy.

The residents of Changming had never seen such a posture before, and naturally they burst out with far more enthusiasm than usual. They reported all the troubles that they could not solve themselves, and their thanks were often some extra precious things they could get their hands on.

Like a few strings of copper coins, a basket of eggs, cloth woven by skillful hands, or dried herbs.

Although these things are not equivalent to the labor put in by the soldiers led by the East Palace Guards, they are still very busy.

These young men are all locals from Changming, and they are all helping their neighbors. The satisfaction brought by this sense of achievement and glory, similar to returning home in glory, is far beyond the comparison of a small amount of money.

"Damn Fang Weihan! This brat really fell into the toilet!"

Mr. Zhao, who was almost exhausted on the spot, cursed angrily.

"It's Her Royal Highness the Princess! Her Royal Highness came out in person!"

Someone shouted.

Mr. Zhao turned around and saw a girl in a gorgeous gold-pink palace dress walking slowly and stopping in the middle of the venue.

He was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly came over and clasped his fists and asked:
"Your Highness Princess, what are you..."

"I'm just here to take a look, you guys just do your thing."

Fang Tang's smile was so friendly that everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a haggard middle-aged man pushed aside the crowd.

Fang Tang's Huben guards and the surrounding Donggong guards immediately raised their guard and drew their weapons to surround him.

The man rushed to Fang Tang in embarrassment and knelt down with a plop.

"Your Highness Princess, you have to make the decision for me!"

he cried.

Fang Tang waved his hand, signaling everyone to put away their weapons.

She herself took a few steps forward, maintaining the solemnity and elegance of a royal princess and asked:

"What grievances do you have?"

"My son, he was kidnapped by someone!"

The middle-aged man's eyes were red and he burst into tears.

"Obviously he was fine when I went out this morning. I told him that I would bring him candy when I came back."

"But when I came back, he was gone!"

"Some neighbors said that they saw a man holding my son and walking away... I..."

Hearing the man's sad narration, the people around him also felt sympathy.

"These people's teeth are nothing!"

"That's right, my little sister was kidnapped by someone!"

"A bunch of beasts!"

The crowd was furious, and all of a sudden the sound of attacking Renyazi echoed.

"Your Highness Princess, this..."

Mr. Zhao looked at Fang Tang and asked for her opinion.

Now Fang Weihan is not here, and their East Palace Guards are nominally under Fang Tang's command. Although he still listened to Fang Weihan, he still had to maintain symbolic respect in front of many people.

Fang Tang frowned slightly as he listened to the man's bloody accusation.

She was now in a dilemma.

Out of personal feelings, Fang Tang undoubtedly disliked the profession of Ren Yazi.

They are an unstable factor in society and one of the main culprits of countless refugees. A strong country would never allow such a thing to exist.

But with the current situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty, if they want to take action against Ren Yazi, the forces behind them will inevitably be touched.

Human trafficking brings huge profits far beyond ordinary business. This business is a perfect way to make money for the family.

If we take action against human trafficking, it will be equivalent to cutting off an important source of income for the family, and it will intensify the conflict with the family again.

Fang Tang is now the crown prince, but he does not have any power in his hands.

Even if she wanted to take action, she was powerless. What's more, Fang Tang doesn't want to completely break up with the family now.

Everything will be easy to say after she ascends the throne, but now...

"If I know about it, I will go to see the Holy Lord soon and report Ren Yazi's misdeeds, and I will definitely give you justice."

Fang Tang said lightly.

The man was so grateful that he kowtowed:
"Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness."

But obviously, the surrounding people and people are not satisfied with this.

"Is it really useful to meet the Holy One in person... to meet the Holy One in person?"

"There are so many East Palace Guards around, why can't the army directly check their lair!"

"I heard that it is the Pei family's territory in Hedong. Can the army control it?!"

"You don't want to live anymore?! Say this in public..."

The noise of the crowd peaked, then fell back to the valley, and finally fell into silence.

The dissatisfied voices of the people accumulated resentment, and the resentment was like steel needles piercing the girl's heart.

Fang Tang gently closed his eyes and clenched his palms so hard that his nails almost penetrated the flesh.

Take people to pull out those people's teeth and kill them without mercy!

This sentence lingered on her lips, and she wanted to blurt it out several times.

But in the end, the girl kept this idea firmly in her heart.

In her last life, she fought against the aristocratic family to the end, and was eventually reduced to ashes in the fire.

Now that she is reborn, she cannot make the same mistake again.

The girl turned around silently, forcing herself not to look at the people again. She was afraid that she would see the disappointed look in their eyes, and she was even more afraid of seeing her own reflection in their eyes.

Fang Tang's throat was choked, as if something was blocking her words.

"Are there no people in this world who are not afraid of noble families?"

someone said angrily.

"It would be great if His Highness Prince Guangling were here..."

"Yes, His Highness Prince Guangling! We also have His Highness Prince Guangling! If he hears about this matter, he will definitely give us justice!"

The girl stopped.

"Prince Guangling...your highness?"

She murmured softly.

Fang Tang knew that if anyone in Changming City could stand up and stop this behavior, then this person could only be Fang Weihan.

But she felt that Fang Weihan would not do this.

Now the two major groups are in a tacit recovery period, and no one wants to have another incident at this stage. What's more, things like Renyazi are not illegal.

Even during the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Fang Ganyi personally engaged in human trafficking business.

He doesn't even have a suitable basis, so how can he shake this complete chain of interests?

There must be some members of the aristocratic family standing behind Fang Weihan who are involved in this business. How should he explain to these aristocratic families who support him?
"He... won't."

The girl raised her steps again and continued to walk quietly towards the East Palace.

Due to this sudden change, the anger of the surrounding people has been completely ignited. The long-standing dissatisfaction with Renyazi exploded today. The scene was as noisy as a vegetable market, and everyone was filled with anger.

The East Palace Guards and the Huben Guards tried their best to maintain order, and even alerted the patrolling Jinwu Guards.

Fang Tang walked back to the gate of the East Palace, where Feihong was greeting him.

"Do you think Fang Weihan will get involved in this matter?"

the girl asked.

"Yes, His Highness Prince Guangling will definitely do it."

Feihong raised her head in admiration and said proudly.

"Why is she so sure? There are so many twists and turns behind this matter. If he is not careful, he will be in danger and it will be difficult to turn back."

Her Royal Highness the Princess thought silently.

Looking at Fei Hong who didn't know anything but could trust Fang Weihan for no reason, an indescribable emotion quietly enveloped the girl's heart.

The throbbing in my heart was sour and sad, which seemed to be jealous, but also seemed to be unwilling and ashamed.
