farmer's little girl

Chapter 63
The voices of the men lowered down, as if they were saying something again.

Lu Jiaoyue's heart was pounding, she had lived two lifetimes, so she naturally understood the meaning of these words.

Immediately afterwards, the closed door was opened again.

Lu Jiaoyue's eyes were fixed there, and the moment the light entered, she shrank herself in a dark corner.A few girls were caught off guard and fell into the pure silver light.Because of the backlight, they couldn't see the faces of those people clearly, but just by hearing the other party's laughter, one could know that the other party had bad intentions.

They seemed to be looking up and down, and one of the men reprimanded: "Choose what else, just pick one, and when the boss comes back, you won't be able to eat it."

A man stepped forward and roughly pulled a girl up. The others screamed, and the men smiled lewdly before closing the door again.

Lu Jiaoyue suddenly closed her eyes tightly, and pressed her pounding heart.

Don't blame her, don't blame her, she can't help it!

No matter what, Mrs. Mei could not accept the fact that her daughter was taken away by kidnappers.

But just go out to enjoy a lantern, why people disappeared.Earlier, she had told the man in the room that with her younger brother's character, she might be coming back very late, but she was facing such news.

Gui Ya was crying, blaming herself while crying: "...It's all my fault, if only I had held Jiao Yue's hand tightly, I wouldn't have just watched her being abducted Walk……"

She has been crying for a long time, since she was in the county, she cried all the way to Lu's house.

Lu Guangyi was full of anxiety at this time, but he also knew that Guiya could not be blamed for this matter. After all, even the big men of them were caught off guard, let alone a little girl like her.

"Okay, sister Guiya, don't cry, I don't blame you for this matter. If I had paid attention to Yue'er at that time, such a thing would not have happened." Lu Guangyi blamed himself.

At that time, he was the closest to Goro, and he had been holding his younger brother's hand before, so Goro was protected by him and he was not lost or injured. It was only when he finally broke free from the crowd that he learned about his sister's abduction.

Lu Guangzhi also blamed himself all over his face.

Mei Zhuangyi, who had been standing by the side without speaking, suddenly said: "It's useless to say this now! Don't worry, Jinzi is looking for someone in the county right now. He has a lot of people in the county, and he knows a lot of people." Duo, I will definitely find Yue'er. You all stay at home, I will go to the county right now and accompany Jinzi to look for it!"

After a pause, he said again: "I lost Yue'er, I will definitely find her!"

After speaking, the person left like a gust of wind.

Lu Minghai tried to call him but didn't stop.

Lu Guangzhi said to him: "Father, don't get angry, we can't help you much even in the county. For the current plan, we have to plan for the worst. If the elder sister won't be found for a while, this matter will never happen." Do not let outsiders know."

When Mei Shi heard this, her face turned pale immediately, and she began to cry again.

"My miserable daughter..."

Lu Minghai, who was walking around the room, stomped his feet and shouted: "Cry, cry, cry, cry, your daughter will come back when you cry? Didn't you hear what your son said?!" He looked around the room, His eyes fell on Gui Ya, the only outsider, and he said with a serious face: "Gui Ya, you must never tell anyone about this, not even your mother, if not, even if Yue'er is found, I am afraid she will die." No."

Speaking of this, he became dejected, as if he had aged decades in an instant.

"Uncle, don't worry, I won't tell anyone, not even my mother."

At this time, Han Jin, who was looking for Lu Jiaoyue alone in the county, also fell into anxiety and self-blame.

Blame myself for not being optimistic about her, blame myself for being scruples about this and that, not daring to reveal my relationship with her in front of others, if I hold Wulang's hand like Lu Guangyi, Yue'er will not lose it now.

No one knew how panicked Han Jin felt when he finally stood up and raised his head to look at Lu Jiaoyue but didn't see her figure.For an instant, my heart was empty.Especially when he learned about Yue'er being taken away from Guiya, his emotions reached their peak.

But it was too late to say anything at this time, he had to find her quickly.

Over the years, Han Jin has never been involved in those dirty things in the county, but more or less there will always be some rumors that can enter his ears.Judging from the situation at the time, these kidnappers were probably habitual offenders, or committed crimes on the move.If he doesn't find Yue'er quickly and delays, Han Jin is afraid that this group of people will leave Wannian County.After leaving Wannian County, people may never be found again.

He suppressed his anxiety and went to Li's house first.

His brother-in-law Li Shuicheng was not there, but his sister was at home.After asking, I found out that someone from the yamen called his brother-in-law away.In fact, thinking about it, such a big incident happened in the county today, let alone a small arrest, I am afraid that even the county magistrate will not be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

At that time, the crowd was in chaos, and the lamp shed that hit was set ablaze, and it even affected several lamp sheds on the side.The fire burned very quickly, almost in the blink of an eye, and several nearby lamp sheds were burned.People pushed each other and pushed each other, and those who set up stalls stopped setting up stalls, and those who performed juggling stopped doing juggling. Everyone squeezed desperately outside, and countless people were pushed down and trampled.

There were so many injured people, and Han Jin was afraid that the county government would not have the time to take care of the abducted girls after such a big incident happened.

After finally finding his brother-in-law and asking, it turned out that all the people in the county government were sent to Dengshi.On the contrary, a few families who lost their lives came to report the case, but unfortunately the county government couldn't find any manpower at all.

Han Jin was annoyed for a while, annoyed that he should not delay so long, but should send someone to look for him.Of course, this was not the only reason why he came to Li Shuicheng. After he briefly told Li Shuicheng about the matter, he begged him to order someone to close the city gate.

He was afraid that the kidnappers would take advantage of the chaos and transfer people.

Although there is no curfew in Wannian County, the city gates will be closed every time of Haishi. Today is also because it is the Shangyuan Festival, so the city gates will be open all night long.

After hearing this, Li Shuicheng was taken aback.

Han Jin said: "Brother-in-law, although this matter is my personal matter, think about it, the reason why the Lantern City chaos happened was because a group of human traffickers committed crimes with a purpose and preparation, which caused panic among the common people. At that time, I was the only one in the In that area, several people were lost. As for whether the same thing happened elsewhere, we don’t know, but we also know that there must be. Then Liu Zhixian is notoriously stupid. When he thinks about it , I'm afraid it's too late. You have been sitting in this position for more than ten years, don't you have any thoughts of going up?"

After hearing this, Li Shuicheng fell into deep thought.

Of course he wanted to go up one step, but it was a pity that sitting in his position, it was extremely difficult to go up.

Don't look at them as fast catchers, they are prestige in front of the common people, in fact, to some officials, even if they are just a small master book, they are not popular.

At present, in addition to a magistrate, a county magistrate, and a master book, the county governments in various places are equipped with three shifts and six offices to assist the daily operation of the entire county government.The third class is also commonly known as the third class of yamen servants, namely the Zao, Zhuang and Kuai three classes of yamen servants.Generally speaking, the soap class is on duty, the fast class is responsible for arrests, and the strong class is poor in performance.The six rooms refer to the six rooms of officials, households, rites, soldiers, punishments, and workers.

Among the three classes and six houses, except for the scribes, the rest are low-level servants, and future generations are not allowed to enter the imperial examination.

Li Shuicheng took over the position of arrester from his father, because he was calm and capable, and when he was in his 20s, he became the head arrester in charge of a county arrest.Over the years, he has also considered the affairs of his descendants - being a fast catcher is indeed prestigious in front of the common people, and he is not short of money, but he has no future.He is a catcher, as long as he does not leave this position, his son and even grandson will only be a catcher in the future, and there is no chance of changing it.

Of course, it's not without chance, as long as he can be the chief arrester of a government, he will have the opportunity to sit in the patrol inspection position.The inspection in charge of anti-theft, even if it is only a nine-rank, is also converted from a humble servant to an official, and there is a huge difference in nature.

However, he has never encountered the opportunity. Wannian County is too small, and compared to the entire Dongchang Mansion, it is just a subordinate county.Except for some incidents of stealing, robbery and smashing, there are even very few major cases such as murder.Without a major case, naturally there is no merit, and without merit, it is very difficult to move forward.

It was obvious that Li Shuicheng was tempted, not because of anything else, but because the group of kidnappers that Han Jin said was purposeful and prepared to commit crimes, and they committed crimes on the move.Since these people can come to Wannian County to commit crimes, who knows if they will also commit crimes in other places. If he can crack this case, does it mean that there is a possibility of committing crimes.

Li Shuicheng has always been a decisive person. He just pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, I will arrange this matter, but it will probably only last for a day or two. You must know that closing the city gate is not a trivial matter, and it may cause people to panic." their panic."

In other words, Han Jin only has one or two days to find someone, and the county government probably won't help most of them, and can only rely on himself.

"I will find someone to investigate. As long as these mice are locked in a cage, it will be easy to find them."

Li Shuicheng didn't doubt the ability of this wife and brother. Don't look at those local ruffians who are afraid of the arresters when they see them, but in fact they are all pretending, and they have done a lot of things behind the scenes, even they don't know.If you want to mobilize these people, you have to 'be in charge of the county magistrate'.

Han Jin didn't delay, and left soon. He had to go to Guangji Casino.

Liu Qian's face was gloomy, and he looked at all his subordinates with cold eyes.

"I only went out for a while, and you made such a scene. You have forgotten what I said before? Normally, you can take the money and go to the kiln to play whatever you want, but you are not allowed to touch the goods in your hand. You all said that." forget?!"

There was a moment of silence below.

Several men looked disheveled, and two of them were kicked off the bed by the boss before they even had time to fasten their belts.There was a girl lying on the bed, she couldn't see her face clearly, she didn't make a sound at the moment, she was probably fainted by this group of people.

"Send me back! Li Liu, go outside to find out what's going on. At the moment, the people in the county government are busy arranging the wounded people in the lantern market. Let's leave as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams. As for you, how many of you go out?" Get ready, we'll be leaving later."

Several people split up to act.

Liu Qian was a little upset.

Just now he deliberately went to the street to look around for the movement, obviously things were going better than they expected, but for some reason he just felt flustered.

It's not that he wants to make a big deal, but that the business has reached their level, and small troubles are no longer enough to quench their thirst.One or two piecemeal crimes, the money sold is not enough to support the brothers under him, and it will arouse the vigilance of the local people, making it difficult to start again, and even risking exposure.It's like in Qian'an County before, in half a month, he only got five or six people, and he almost didn't fall in.

That's why he decided on this strategy, taking advantage of the auspicious day of Shangyuan Festival, to bring back more 'goods'.No matter how big the trouble is, as soon as you leave here, the sky will naturally let the birds fly, and when you come back next time, no one will know them.

Liu Qian calculated how much money the goods could sell for this time, and then he felt at ease.

It doesn't matter, as long as you can take advantage of the chaos and leave later, it will be considered a success this time.

He thought about it step by step, but the panic in Liu Qian's heart still didn't subside. He asked someone to bring him wine and took two sips before the feeling subsided a little.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Liu ran in from the outside.

"Boss, it's not good. I just went to look at the city gate, and the city gate has been closed."

Hearing this, the wine bowl in Liu Qian's hand fell to the ground with a snap.

A few people who were setting up their cars outside heard the commotion and came in, asking one after another, "Why did you close the city gate?"

"Isn't Shangyuan Festival off?"

"Could it be that this matter has been exposed?"

Liu Qian slapped the table violently, "Okay, don't talk about it, the county magistrate surnamed Liu is not as stupid as in the legend, the reaction is so fast! But don't be afraid of them, they won't last for two days, wait here Let's leave after the limelight has passed for two days. It's just that you all have to be more vigilant to me recently, and you are not allowed to go out unless necessary."

"Yes."

After the abused girl woke up, she hit the wall and died.

Someone came over to take a look, but he didn't even care about it, so he left.After that, at regular intervals, someone would throw water and steamed buns in for them. Based on this, Lu Jiaoyue guessed that they probably stayed in this place for a day and a half.

The room was extremely dark at night, with only a little light during the day.The dead girl's body was not taken away, it was still thrown in that corner, no one dared to get close to her, they were all far away.

Lu Jiaoyue opened her eyes and heard crying, but when she closed her eyes, it was still crying. Listening to them crying like this, she gradually ran out of tears.

On this day, the door suddenly opened from the outside, and a man with a swollen face rushed in.

"Cry, cry, cry, cry your mother's shit, cry again, I will beat you to death."

A man walked in and dragged him out, "Okay, it's useless for you to vent your anger on them, we should be thinking about how to get out now."

The man looked dejected, and said, "How do you get out? The group of arresters seemed to be convulsed, and they were all over the street. Didn't that kid Li Liu say that the local local snakes are also looking for us, so toss around like this Go on, we will be found sooner or later. This time the incident is so big, it is a small thing to be caught and beheaded..."

"Okay, don't say a few words."

"I'm not allowed to go out, and I'm not allowed to speak. It's hard to live this day..."

The voices of the two gradually faded away.

In the room, Lu Jiaoyue's dirty face suddenly burst into a smile, and her fists under her sleeves were tightly clenched.

Uncle Jin, is that you?
"Jinzi, I'm no longer stable in Liuzhi County. I've tried all the reasons, but he won't listen. He's already issued an order, and the ban will be lifted tomorrow. You have to be clear about this matter."

Li Shuicheng was also extremely exhausted these few days, he listened to Han Jin's words, and went to see Liu Zhixian.Liu Zhixian knew that the matter was too big, and he was afraid that the higher-ups would investigate and find a culprit to take the blame, so he listened to him.

But as time passed, the police never found the group of gangsters, and Liu Zhixian gradually couldn't sit still. Locking the city gate is not a trivial matter. It is a trivial matter to go to the top and take off his official hat. of.Of course, he can't absolve himself of the blame for such a mess under the rule, after all, it's better than taking off his official hat.

So Liu Zhixian deliberated, and finally turned his face. Not only did he push the matter of locking the city gates to Li Shuicheng, but he also planned to "seal up" all the injured people that day, but anyone who disobeyed and caused trouble was locked up. Throw it to the prison.Trying to whitewash the peace and deceive the superior and the inferior.

"I've quit my job and am at home now, and I can't help you with other things."

Han Jin said guiltily, "I'm sorry, brother-in-law..."

Li Shuicheng raised his hand to interrupt him, "This matter is my own idea, and has nothing to do with you. In fact, I have long been displeased with Liu Zhixian's behavior and handling of things. It's good to be like this at this time, and it's easy to save. "

Han Lamei also persuaded from the side: "Okay, don't think about it too much, I don't want your brother-in-law to do this job for a long time. I worry about him every day when he goes out, for fear that something will happen to him."

Han Jin also knew that his sister and brother-in-law were comforting him. The four members of the brother-in-law's family were supported by his brother-in-law alone.However, he is not a hypocritical person, and he knows that it is superfluous to say anything now. As long as he can find the den of those people and solve the case, the matter of his brother-in-law's dismissal will naturally be solved.

Han Jin bid farewell and left.

He is sure that if you give him some more time, he will be able to find someone, but the ban will be lifted tomorrow, is there still time?

With a gloomy expression on his face, he returned to Guangji Casino.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the house, he saw Hu San walking over in a hurry.

"Boss, I found that place..."

Lu Jiaoyue originally thought that as long as this group of people didn't transfer them, she would be rescued, but she never expected that bad luck would still come.

In fact, after these few days, not only Lu Jiaoyue and the others were on the verge of collapse, but also this group of traffickers.

Frequently, people were sent out to listen to the wind, and the news they brought back was not good.In particular, people like them can commit crimes in unfamiliar places, and it is inevitable that there are local people interspersed with them.In the past two days, the local people frequently sent news that more and more people on the road were looking for them. This morning, when Li Liu went out to look for that person, there was no news of that person at all, and Li Liu did not come back.

Liu Qian knew it was over.

If you want to escape but dare not, judging from the current situation, if you go out, you will end up being caught by the government.But if he didn't escape, he would probably end up being caught.Although Liu Qian didn't know how his group of people provoked the local snake named Boss Han, so that the other party had to dig three feet to find them, but he also knew that his good days were over.

Before it was almost over, Liu Qian wanted to go crazy.

The boss is like this, needless to say the people below, some people secretly went out to buy good food and wine, and some people suggested to take out those "goods" to have a good time, such a death is also a happy death.

Liu Qian didn't stop him, he actually had the same idea.

Now no one can escape, including Lu Jiaoyue.Even after the past few days, her appearance became more messy, but she didn't dislike her, but took her out together.

The two were divided into one, and this group of drunk scumbags began to act recklessly.

Lu Jiaoyue was assigned to two young men who seemed to be running errands to watch the wind. No wonder she could see it, because at that time, many people thought she was too dirty and didn't want her. These two didn't want her either, but the protest was invalid. .

"Okay, don't be picky, it's good to have some fun." Saying that, one of them stepped forward to pull Lu Jiaoyue's clothes.

As soon as I stretched out my hand, it hurt.

The man flinched, looked at the hairpin in Lu Jiaoyue's hand, and showed a ferocious smile, "I met a little wild cat today, it's okay, sir, I like to deal with little wild cats the most."

"Don't come here."

Holding the silver hairpin in her hand, Lu Jiaoyue stepped back step by step.

She held the hairpin tightly with her hand, and it hurt her hand.This hairpin was given to her by Uncle Jinzi back then. Could it be that she will use it to understand herself today?
Lu Jiaoyue thought for a while in despair.

There were screams and cries all around her ears, but Lu Jiaoyue couldn't care less about looking at it right now, she had no time to protect herself.

"The voice is quite delicate, and I'm afraid it sounds pretty good, but the face is a bit dirty." The man let out a hey, tilted his head and glanced at Lu Jiaoyue, "It's really dirty, could it be that you made your face so dirty on purpose? Well, I think other girls are not as good as you."

With a wink, he forced over with his companions.

The two used their hands and feet together, forcing Lu Jiaoyue into a corner. She wanted to stab the hairpin on her neck, but someone knocked it off.During the struggle, the clothes on her body were ripped off, revealing half of her shoulders and the aqua blue apron on her body.

One of them smacked his lips: "I didn't find it, but it's a good product."

At this time, Lu Jiaoyue was completely insane, "Go away, go away, you go away..." It's a pity that her hands and feet were restrained, and she was powerless.

Feeling a black shadow looming over her, she bit her tongue with her teeth as soon as she became ruthless.

Her tongue was sore, and she was about to push harder, when suddenly her cheek was pinched, and she was pulled into a strange but familiar embrace.

"Jiaoyue..."

Lu Jiaoyue looked at the figure in front of her with tears in her eyes, and that anxious face, and cried bitterly: "Why did you come..."

Han Jin was so distressed that he couldn't stop holding her in his arms, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's because I didn't like you..."

"Why did you come here, I almost..."

All the way to the carriage, Lu Jiaoyue was still crying loudly.

In the past few days, she has been terribly frightened. Even if she has lived for two lifetimes, she has never experienced such a scene. She has thought of dying countless times, but she always has a glimmer of hope in her heart——

Maybe, he found it.

Now being held in his arms, she feels wronged, sad, but more of a lingering fear.

She almost never saw him again.

Han Jin clumsily wiped her tears with his big palm, but couldn't finish it no matter how much he wiped.Seeing her cry, his heart ached to death, wishing he could punch himself twice to relieve his hatred.

Seeing that he couldn't stop her crying, he chose to use the most stupid way to gag her mouth.

At first, he wanted to stop her crying, but the taste changed after kissing. Han Jin was about to deepen the kiss when a human voice suddenly came from outside.

"Jinzi, have you found anyone?"

As soon as Lu Jiaoyue pushed Han Jin away, she retreated to the corner of the carriage, with her back facing the outside, her heart pounding.

Han Jin rubbed his face before poking his head out.

"found it."

Thinking that Han Jin was standing in the way, Mei Zhuangyi pulled him off the carriage.

"Moon!"

"Uncle!"

Mei Zhuangyi saw his niece clearly, and a burst of anger rushed into his brain.

"Those bastards took advantage of you?"

I really can't blame Mei Zhuangyi for misunderstanding, Han Jin hastily wrapped him in a cloak and carried him out, and he didn't have time to help Lu Jiaoyue tidy up her clothes, plus Lu Jiaoyue's face was full of tears at the moment, her lips were red and swollen. Misunderstanding is to blame.

He certainly didn't think that the bastard he was talking about was standing beside the car, wishing he could drag him down and beat him up to relieve his hatred.

Lu Jiaoyue grabbed Mei Zhuangyi's sleeve, her face was so red that it was about to smoke.

"Little uncle, no one took advantage of me. They wanted to...but Uncle Jinzi saved me. They really didn't do anything to me..."

Looking at his niece's muttering, Mei Zhuangyi still didn't understand.

Han Jin, that old bachelor, doesn't forget to take advantage of this kind of time.Just as he was thinking about going out and dragging the other party into a corner, and punching him a few times to vent his anger, he heard Han Jin outside the car say: "Go back to Daxi Village first, your elder sister and the others are still waiting at home, and there are many people here, wait a while at the government's side There are still people coming."

He turned his head and explained a few words to Hu San, telling them to restrain these people and go to Li's house to find his brother-in-law, then he got on the shaft of the car and drove away.
