NCCnovel Chapter 209 Shocked
Chapter 209 Shocked
Before entering the city, Qiao Ye deliberately wiped the corners of his eyes with ginger.
Only then did I see her red eyes as if she had been crying.
When someone asked, Qiao Ye pointed at the people who were tied up.
"Someone instructed them to trick me out of the city, hoping to destroy me and then sell me to a brothel in another city."
The reason why they were changed to selling them to brothels was naturally because the crime of trafficking would be much more serious than throwing them at the city gate.
In this dynasty, human trafficking is a serious crime and the offender will be sentenced to exile to some of the worst places to mine mines.
Then she said with a lingering fear: "Thanks to me bringing Xiao Hei with me."
"When they wanted to attack me, Xiao Hei pushed them all away and protected me."
After saying this, Xiao Hei seemed to agree with her words and proudly "mooed" a few times, which amazed everyone.
"I just happened to meet these three chivalrous men passing by, so I subdued them all and asked them to help me escort them to report to the police."
When the people around heard her words, their eyes widened.
"There is such a thing. These people are too arrogant."
"These guys are the thugs of the brothel. They are usually arrogant and domineering. They are not good people."
"That's Hua Niang, the second madam in the brothel. I heard that she forced girls into the brothel before."
"Who is so evil as to instruct these people to do such a cruel thing to Miss Qiao?"
"We can't let them get away with it. We'll go to the county government office with you and ask the county magistrate to investigate thoroughly."
"Yes, we can't let them go."
Everyone, whether they knew Qiao Ye or not, shouted that they wanted to go to the county government office with her.
This is naturally the effect Qiao Ye wants.
This kind of thing needs to be made a big deal and known to everyone.
It also lets those who still want to deal with her see if they dare to do it again in the future.
Not only did many people follow him to the county government office, but the news also spread quickly.
Ji family.
Ji Songbai and his son were chatting when they heard the housekeeper come in and report this.
Both of their expressions changed.
Ji Songbai frowned, "Who is so bold as to want to touch my sister-in-law?"
"I'll go to the county government office. Brother Shao is not here. I can't let my sister-in-law be bullied."
Apart from the fact that Lu Shao became Qin Daru's apprentice, he also made friends with Mr. Xiao and his two companions, which means he has a bright future ahead of him.
Just because of his friendship with Lu Shao, he had to step forward and help in this matter.
Master Ji also stood up and said, "I'll go to the county government office with you."
His family is on good terms with the Lu family, so his personal visit is also a statement to the outside world.
Anyone in this county who wants to touch Lu Shao's wife would be going against the Ji family.
Ji Songbai understood what his father meant immediately, "Dad, it would be great if you could go with us."
So the father and son went to the county government office together.
The people living in the west of the county town are all small families or relatively poor people.
Wang family.
Wang Dalang was splitting bamboo strips, polishing and drilling holes as required.
His wife died two years ago, and he has had a hard time raising five children alone.
I go out to work, getting up early and going to bed late, earning ten cents a day, and I can't even take good care of my children.
Not long ago, my youngest son was almost kidnapped.
Fortunately, the Lu family in Changping Village hired out odd jobs making bamboo strips and bamboo nails.
He could earn two cents for polishing a bundle of bamboo strips or a pack of bamboo nails, and he could take them home and make them.
He is skillful, patient and fast in doing this job. Not only can he earn more than 20 cents a day, but he can also take care of several children at home.
Just then, his eldest son ran in and said, "Dad, someone wants to bully Miss Qiao and sell her to another place."
Then he repeated what he had heard.
Wang Dalang's eyes widened, "There is such a wicked thing."
He put down the bamboo stick and stood up. "Let's go to the county government office. We can't let anyone harm Miss Qiao."
If it weren't for Miss Qiao, there's no way he would have gotten this kind of odd jobs.
Such a good person cannot be harmed by bad people.
So he took a few children to the county government office.
The Li family on the street consists of only two widows and several children.
The old widow usually takes care of the children, while the young widow helps with laundry. Sometimes the money they earn in a day is barely enough to fill their stomachs.
Recently, Changping Village has been offering odd jobs to the outside world.
In addition to the work of polishing bamboo strips and bamboo nails, there are also odd jobs such as picking wool and spinning wool.
A bag of wool of different thicknesses, down and long hair is picked out and spun into different threads, worth ten coins.
After hearing what people said, the young widow went to pick it up and try it.
She, her mother-in-law, and her daughter's help could spin two bags of wool thread a day, which earned them only twenty cents.
If there is no work on the day, wool can be spun into cotton threads of different thicknesses according to the requirements of the Lu family workshop. As long as the weaving is fine, they will be accepted.
The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law can spin cotton thread for a day and do other things, which can be sold for more than ten cents at the Lu family workshop.
Not only do we no longer have to work as hard as before, but the money can also allow the whole family to have enough food and even buy some meat occasionally.
The young widow just heard from the neighbors that someone wanted to sell Miss Qiao.
She immediately went home, called her mother-in-law, and took the child to the county government office.
Although they are weak, they are determined to support Miss Qiao.
There are many families like theirs, and now everyone who heard about it took the initiative to go to the county government office.
North Street is a mixed place with many small inns, restaurants, pubs, etc.
Most of the people staying in the inn are traveling merchants.
Ever since the Lu family workshop started selling mosquito coils, collecting wool, mutton oil, medicinal seeds, etc., there have been traveling merchants coming from all over the place every day.
Not only did the inn's business improve, but the restaurants on this street also did much better.
I heard that Miss Qiao was almost deceived, bullied and sold.
No matter if they were traveling merchants, innkeepers, or restaurant owners, they were all filled with indignation.
You shouted at me, I shouted at you, and a large group of people rushed towards the county government office.
Many villagers who came to the city to sell or buy things heard about this.
They all rushed to the county government office.
Recently, villagers from many villages go to Changping Village to take odd jobs.
Or they would find medicinal herbs or plants that Miss Qiao wanted in the mountains and then ask her to collect them.
The prices she offered were very reasonable and the villagers all liked dealing with her.
I didn't expect that someone would pretend to be a villager and use the excuse of collecting medicine to deceive Miss Qiao.
This will ruin their reputation.
I don’t know if Miss Qiao will come to collect it again in the future.
What's more, those people even wanted to sell Miss Qiao to a brothel in another place.
It's so vicious and hateful.
No, they also have to go to the county government office and ask the county magistrate to severely punish those evil people.
Don't be afraid, Miss Qiao, they all support her.
Therefore, when Qiao Ye and the others slowly walked to the gate of the county government office, it was already surrounded by people.
Seeing Qiao Ye’s thin figure, red eyes and frightened look.
Everyone felt pity and felt bad.
Miss Qiao is such a good person, but there are actually people who are so vicious as to want to harm her.
Everyone couldn't help but comfort her and told her not to be afraid.
Since these people dared to do such a thing, they must ask the county magistrate to help her make the decision.
They were all very angry and stared at Cheng Ge and the others as if they wanted to eat them.
Some people couldn't help it and picked up stones from the roadside and threw them at several people.
As for rotten eggs and rotten leaves, of course there are none.
Except for those wealthy families, no one would be willing to let eggs and vegetables go bad.
Cheng Ge and his companions were frightened by so many angry eyes that looked like they wanted to eat them.
Then he was hit by a stone and screamed in agony.
The three people who were protecting Qiao Ye had already moved away from Cheng Ge and his companions, and were just pulling the rope to drag them forward.
When the three of them saw so many people outside, they not only comforted their wife, but also cursed and threw stones at Cheng Ge and his men.
They were also startled and shocked.
Before entering the city, they saw their lady rubbing ginger at the corners of her eyes, making them red as if she had been crying, and they were very puzzled.
Lately they have been secretly protecting the lady and have discovered that she is a very strong person in her own right.
Why do you make yourself look so pitiful?
But now when they saw such indignant people, they understood instantly.
It turns out that the lady had foresight.
I guess she had expected so many people to support her.
Then, he used these people to put pressure on the county government to severely punish these people and catch the mastermind behind the scenes.
What shocked and surprised them even more was that what she did could attract so many people's support and desire to protect her.
I have to say, the madam is really awesome!
At this moment, they couldn't help but feel an unprecedented admiration.
