When Liu Yue'e heard that the kidnapper went to extort money from the Nie family, she felt filled with pride.
This was all a method her good eldest son came up with to confuse the kidnapper.
"Yaozu, why are you so clever this time? If you hadn't confused the kidnapper by saying you were a child of the Nie family, we wouldn't have been able to find you so quickly."
Liu Yue'e openly boasted about her ancestors, but in fact she took credit for her son in front of Tong Huaqiong.
Tong Huaqiong understood what Liu Yue'e meant. She smiled and praised Yaozu: "Yaozu was really smart this time."
This grandson usually gave Tong Huaqiong the impression that he only cared about eating and drinking, and was not very clever.
To be honest, Tong Huaqiong only regarded him as his grandson in name only and could not get close to him.
This time Gu Yaozu's performance was truly worthy of the word Yaozu.
After receiving his grandmother's approval, Gu Yaozu lay in Liu Yuee's arms and puffed out his chest.
The carriage swayed toward Qinghe Bay. After a night of turmoil, several children began to feel sleepy after returning to a safe environment. Halfway through, Man'er waited for several children to fall into a deep sleep.
Except for Duo'er, who was woken up midway, the other children were sleeping in a hazy state.
Tong Huaqiong didn't even know what kind of psychological impact this abduction would have on the children, and whether they needed psychological counseling.
She didn't know anything else, but Duo'er definitely needed it.
"Mother."
"Aunt."
"Where are the children?"
The carriage stopped under the sycamore tree in front of Gu's house, and Chen Sufen and Tong Pandi chased it up.
"The children are fine." Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua took the children off the carriage one by one.
Chen Sufen and Tong Pandi didn't care, one hugged Man'er and the other hugged Duo'er, and burst into tears.
Gu Dahan's eyes were red with red circles.
"Stop it quickly, the children finally fell asleep, and I woke them up crying again." Tong Huaqiong said.
Chen Sufen and Tong Pandi gradually stopped crying.
The child was carried into the house.
Tong Huaqiong took a pair of scissors and cut the wick, and the light brightened.
Under the bright light, several children's hands and feet were covered with dust, but they slept soundly.
Duo'er suddenly opened her eyes and screamed in horror. Tong Pandi's heart was as sharp as a knife, and he held Duo'er tightly in his arms.
Soon news came from the county.
The two kidnappers, Fat and Thin, and Jiang's mother confessed that they were a criminal gang and that their boss was in Fucheng.
County Magistrate Liu caught the upline who was hiding in a ruined temple outside Ningcheng, and followed the clues to find out that the mastermind behind it was the steward of a certain family in the capital.
This housekeeper developed a trafficking network that spread almost throughout the dynasty, specializing in trafficking beautiful boys and girls under the age of ten and transporting them to brothels in various places, or selling them to high-ranking officials.
This result shocked Magistrate Yao so much that he wrote a letter and flew to the capital.
The housekeeper was arrested and all offline connections were terminated.
Tong Huaqiong didn't believe that the mastermind behind this was as simple as the housekeeper.
But Magistrate Liu said that he could only find out the housekeeper. Although the bigger fish escaped, this incident was a shock. It will not be that simple for the darknet that was knocked out to collude again.
And it is said that the aristocratic family was seriously injured by a competitor and would not easily think of kidnapping again.
In addition, Tong Huaqiong knew that the reason why the fat and thin kidnappers targeted the four children of Man'er, Xiaolong, Yaozu and Duoer was because of Granny Luo's instigation.
"Of course, we don't dare to conclude that this is really the mother-in-law's instigation. Maybe the kidnapper is trying to get away with it." Jiao Yamen told Tong Huaqiong so and so.
After all, Granny Luo's grandson was also kidnapped by the kidnapper. She belonged to the victim group, and she was credited with providing clues to the kidnapper that night. Magistrate Liu did not accept the kidnapper's argument that Granny Luo was instigating it. I thought it was because the two of them were in a hurry and jumped over the wall to fight randomly.
Magistrate Liu has never lived in Qinghewan, so he naturally doesn't understand the grudge between Tong Huaqiong and Mrs. Luo.
After Jiao Yamen finished drinking tea at Tong Huaqiong's house and left, Tong Huaqiong went to find Mrs. Luo.
At this time, Mrs. Luo was squatting under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village and telling others about her grandson's encounter with a kidnapper during the Lantern Festival.
I was vomiting all over the place, and the story was wonderful.
"You don't know, if I hadn't remembered the kidnapper's appearance and provided it to the government, the four children of the Gu family would have been sold to such dirty places without knowing it. It is said that they were abducted from various towns this time. The children were all rescued, and this is all thanks to my wife. The government also didn’t give me a plaque or anything.”

Mrs. Luo took all the credit for the anti-trafficking effort on herself.
She thought that since she had made such a great contribution, Magistrate Liu would give her a plaque to hang on her door.
In this way, she can take Qiao and have the capital to fight against Tong Huaqiong.
She had been waiting for a few days, and the government servant came, but he turned away towards Tong Huaqiong's house.
He didn't even talk to her until he left Qinghe Bay.
"Why are there so many children kidnapping only your Chunwang and my grandson?" Mrs. Zhao choked out.
Mrs. Luo raised her eyes and said, "It's not that the children of the Gu family are dressed up too richly. The beads on Man'er's head and the clothes on Xiaolong's body make it look like they are children from rich families. That kidnapper is not stupid, he specializes in kidnapping rich people. Children extort money, ordinary people Who of your children has the spare money to pay the ransom? I'm going to put it bluntly. If you want to blame it, it's your mother-in-law. They say wealth is not exposed, but she just dresses her children up to be richer than Prince Wang and Sun Gong. This is not a kidnapping. It’s in my eyes.”
There were people in the village who worked at Tong Huaqiong's house or who were tenants of Tong Huaqiong's land, who sneered at Mrs. Luo's gloating about her misfortune.
Someone asked Mrs. Luo: "According to what you said, why was Chunwang of your family also abducted?"
Mrs. Luo hesitated and couldn't answer.
"There are many rich people in the town, and they are much more well-dressed than the children of the Gu family. Why don't you see the kidnapper? I heard from Yaozu that your family Chunwang is still doing mischief in front of the kidnapper. Who encourages the kidnapper to beat Xiaolong? I wonder if you pointed out Yaozu and his four children to the kidnapper, and ended up sending your grandson to the wolf's den," Liu Yue'e's mother, Mrs. Zhao, speculated.
Mrs. Luo had something in her heart, and Mrs. Zhao accidentally exposed the truth and loudly refuted Mr. Zhao's slander.
Tong Huaqiong took advantage of Mrs. Luo's hands to defend herself, and picked up Mrs. Luo's hair.
Mrs. Luo was in pain and staggered to the ground.
Tong Huaqiong stepped on Mrs. Luo's chest and said to Mrs. Zhao: "My mother-in-law, you are right. I just said that my four children were always watching the juggling at the front of the juggling stage, but they fell into the eyes of the kidnapper. It turns out they were all This old godly woman was identified by the kidnapper.”
Although the New Year is over, the land is still frozen, and the villagers gather at the entrance of the village to bask in the sun when they have nothing to do.
After hearing Tong Huaqiong reveal that her children had been abducted, and the fact that Mrs. Luo knew so much about the kidnapper, everyone was convinced that Mrs. Luo encouraged the kidnapper to abduct the four children of Gu's family.
Mrs. Luo was stepped on by Tong Huaqiong, screamed and struggled, her hands fluttering in mid-air.
"Widow Tong, what are you farting at? If I encourage a kidnapper to abduct four of your children, why don't the officials arrest me?" Mrs. Luo thought she was justified.
"Make you noisy."
Tong Huaqiong made a ball of grass on the ground and stuffed it into Mrs. Luo's mouth, blocking the possibility of her speaking. (End of chapter)
