The useless daughter-in-law is going to turn the world upside down

Chapter 1124 Human Traffickers

The boy looked eight or nine years old, with disheveled hair, naked clothes, and dirty body. He fled around barefoot with his head in his arms, leaving mottled blood on the ground.

Followed by the vicious man, there were five strong men with swords in their hands.

They clamored to catch the boy.

The young man glanced at Shangguan Ruoli and his group, and ran towards them.

Zhuifeng immediately held down the hilt of his sword, and brought several guards to protect Shangguan Ruoli, Ling Yao, Piaorou and Gu Yunlan behind him.

When the strong men behind were about to catch up, the boy fell to Shangguan Ruoli in front of them.

Shangguan Ruoli didn't know what was going on, so he signaled everyone to stay put and stay alert, not to interfere.

The brawny men also saw that they were extraordinary, and that Zhuifeng had a terrifying and murderous aura, so they stopped and didn't dare to go forward.

But the young man saw the right moment, got up and continued to run wildly, and several strong men behind him also chased after him.

The boy's figure was very dexterous, he cleverly ran around Shangguan Ruoli and the others, avoided those strong men, and crazily fought back.

After all, the young man was thin and weak. Although he bravely knocked down several strong men who came to catch him, he was thrown to the ground because of lack of energy.

The boy raised his head and struggled desperately, his eyes were full of anger and sorrow, mixed with unwillingness and despair.

However, for some reason, he didn't seek help from Shangguan Ruoli and others.

In this situation, shouldn't you call for help?

The fists and feet of those strong men fell on the skinny body of the young man like raindrops, "Let you run! Run! Run! You little brat!"

The boy bit his lip and said nothing, but curled up, covering his head and chest with his elbows.

The ferocious man with the whip separated the strong men, stepped on the young man's back, spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, and gritted his teeth: "You can run! I broke your hamstrings and tendons. See how you still run!"

He increased the strength under his feet, and Shangguan Ruoli could almost hear the creaking sound of the boy's bones being stepped on.

Ling Yao held Shangguan Ruoli's hand tightly, frowning unbearably, she felt pain for him even looking at it.

The young man still stubbornly remained silent, just glaring fiercely at the vicious man, like a little wolf!
"Hey! You still dare to stare at me? Go back and I'll take care of you!" The vicious man picked up the boy viciously and dragged him towards the inn.

Looking at the old and new scars on the young man's slender and dirty legs, Ling Yao finally broke out, "Stop!"

The clear and loud voice was like the sound of nature, making those men stop in their tracks.

Shangguan Ruoli sighed helplessly, she didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but now that her daughter has spoken out, she can't be that ruthless and indifferent person.

I squeezed Ling Yao, and asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing? You committed murder in the street, do you think there is no law here?"

To Zhuifeng, he said, "Report to the officials!"

The vicious man carrying the young man said: "This is our slave, we have official certificates, are you in control?"

"They captured me!" The young man seemed to see hope, and finally spoke.

The accent is blunt and rusty, neither from Nanyun nor from Dongming.

He continued to resist, scratching the man's wrist with his fingernails, and immediately scratched a few bloodstains.

"You little bastard, I really thought I wouldn't dare to kill you!" The man choked on his neck in pain.

Immediately, he pinched the young man until his face turned red and he couldn't breathe.

Ling Yao shook Shangguan Ruoli's arm and begged, "Mother, if we watch the fun again, he will be strangled to death!"

Shangguan Ruoli said slowly, "A document from the government? Which government? Now this is Yuanchengguan!"

In this era, there are no human rights, and the master has the power of life and death for servants and slaves who are contracted to death.

She can only take advantage of the change of the imperial court, and catch all these swindlers.

In any era, human traffickers are heinous.

Sure enough, those traffickers were taken aback when they heard Shangguan Ruoli's words, "What?"

Shangguan Ruoli's gaze was as cool as water, calm without any waves, looked at them coldly, and said in a cold voice: "The new law stipulates that it is illegal to buy or sell human beings without the parties or their guardians signing a contract of sale!"

Under the background of this era, it is impossible to completely eradicate human trafficking, but human trafficking and robbery must not be tolerated.

"Bah! Mind your own business!" The vicious man showed a fierce look, and winked at the thugs beside him.

Those thugs were a little scared, but they still took a few steps forward, as if they were going to fight if they didn't agree with each other.

Ling Yao proudly raised her small chin, and said majesticly: "Let this child go! Spare your lives!"

The vicious man looked at the little girl with great interest, "Do you know him?"

Ling Yao shook her head, "I don't know."

"Oh?" The ferocious man laughed, "Then you have taken a fancy to him?"

As he said that, he kicked the young man, and spat: "I knew you were a valuable stunner, and you can hook up little girls with this appearance!"

The boy let out a muffled grunt from being kicked, but he bit his lip, fighting back the pain.

Ling Yao accurately caught the point of this man's words, "How much money do you want?"

There was a greedy light in the eyes of that vicious man, he saw that these people were not short of money, he smiled, "500 taels of silver!"

Ling Yao felt sorry for that young boy, and was eager to save others, so she ordered someone to give him money.

Shangguan Ruoli put his hand on her shoulder and said calmly: "Be safe and don't be impatient."

Then he said to the trafficker: "Take out this young man's deed of sale and have a look."

No matter how many times it is resold, the deed of sale for legal transactions must be filed with the government.

Sure enough, the trafficker spat, "Bah! A group of meddling short-lived ghosts! You want to be a good person, but you don't want to spend money, and it's just a waste of my time!"

With that said, he took his minions and was about to go back to the inn.

The boy looked at Ling Yao begging for help, he had a pair of clear and bright phoenix eyes, and he was as frightened and pitiful as a frightened fawn.

Because I saw hope, I didn't have the arrogance and stubbornness when I faced those traffickers.

Shangguan Ruoli felt that this was a smart boy who knew how to show weakness in front of the right people and seek a chance for himself.

But the pride in his bones kept him from pleading for help.

Seeing that they didn't say anything about buying him, the young man had a look of despair in his eyes, and lowered his head, allowing the traffickers to drag him to the inn.

Ling Yao stamped anxiously: "Mother!"

"Mother~" Gu Yunlan also shook Rejoice's arm, hoping that Rejoice would say something for Ling Yao.

Rejoice comforted Gu Yunlan with her eyes, "Don't make noise, madam has her own plans."
