the study, she rippled a smile towards the old butler who stood guard at the door, then returned to her own room.The old butler looked at the other person's expression and knew that this conversation...Wen Zhaoming's ruthlessness also shocked those around him, but if you think about it from their perspective, they would probably do the same. After all, Yueyue is Mingge'er's only relative and support.
Wen Sandi felt a sharp pain in his calf. The other person pulled out a bloody dagger and charged straight for his neck. He was truly terrified, and he clearly realized that Wen Zhaoming was really going to kill him to save his sister. So he immediately shouted loudly:
"I said! I said! Yueyue was sold by me!"
"Who did you sell it to"
The village chief also said with a cold face.
I sold it to Zhou Yapo in the county.
When did this happen
Just this afternoon.
Wen Santdi trembled as he spoke.
Only then did they realize it was dark and raining, which made their search even more difficult.
"Take the person down, and we split up into three groups to chase them."
The village head glared at Wen Sandidi, ordering the family members to take him away. Then he gathered the people who had just come down from the mountain, divided them into groups, determined their directions, and started chasing after them.
Unfortunately, at this time, the heavens seemed to be against them. The rain only intensified, showing no signs of stopping. The villagers who had gone out searching were forced to return.
Because it is raining, looking for someone is not only difficult but also dangerous, because the surroundings are mountains and forests, making mudslides easy to occur.
Even if Wen Zhaoming was anxious, he couldn't let everyone accompany him on the adventure. In the end, the village head calmed him down.
"Ming'er, don't worry first. It's raining so heavily now, the other party is probably stuck in the rain too. After all, it takes at least three days to get to the county. They definitely didn't come with just a child this time. They should be hiding somewhere waiting for the rain to stop."
"You should eat something first. Let's wait until the rain slows down a bit. Places where it rains will definitely leave traces, which will make it easier for you to track."
Wen Zhao Ming knew the village head was right, so he suppressed his agitated feelings and only said:
"Village Head, what Third Brother Wen did this time is outrageous! He, a brother-in-law who has already married out, dared to sell his sister's daughter. I must demand an explanation, otherwise, I will go to the county magistrate's office and report Third Brother Wen."
"Don't worry, even if you didn't say anything, I wouldn't let him get away with it. If everyone started doing this, what would become of our village of Wenjia Who would dare to marry a man from our village"
The village chief said coldly.
At this time, Wen Santong, who was locked in the demolished house, didn't know what awaited him in the future.
"Mother, this silver was found on Third Brother Wen."
Wen Jia Hong was quick-witted. When she imprisoned someone, she had her own lover search the person's belongings. That way, the six ounces of silver were found.
"Ming, take this for now. If they catch up to us, use it to ransom your sister back. If they refuse, we'll figure something else out."
"Okay."
Wen Zhaoming didn't refuse, his hand clutching the silver so tightly it had turned white.
When the rain subsided, Wen Zhaoming could wait no longer and prepared to chase after them. The village head naturally wouldn't let a young boy go alone, for fear that he might fall victim to the human trafficker's schemes, so he had his own daughter lead a group of people along.
Fortunately, they had good luck. After leaving the village, they found some clues and followed them all the way. They discovered that after the rain stopped, the tire tracks on the road became clearer and easier to distinguish.
Wen Zhaoming immediately thought of Miss Su from Sujiazhuang. As soon as he told Wen Jiarong, the group decided to try their luck. If they could borrow a horse, things would be twice as easy, and perhaps they could catch up with the other party before they entered Qingshan County. Now, all they could do was pray that the other party wouldn't change direction halfway.
This is what led to Wen Zhaoming's request for Lian Yi.
Liàn Yī was a bit worried, so she contacted Shí Jiù:
"Is everything okay, YuYu"
"Not very well, I caught a cold."
"Wasn't that catastrophe already over"
Although the ordeal is over, it doesn't mean her luck has changed.
"Can Mingge catch up"
"She should be able to, the other side because of last night's heavy rain, couldn't take cover in time, several children got sick. She doesn't dare run too fast, if a child dies, the midwife has to pay for it herself."
The stone mill spoke.
After hearing what the millstone had to say, Lian'i felt a little more at ease and continued copying scriptures.
They did not return to Sujiazhuang and return the borrowed horses until the next morning.
Wen Zhao Ming hugged his sister back, coming to Lian Yi to express his gratitude. He had almost lost her to another person; he couldn't imagine what it would be like if he had been just a step too late. He feared he might never have seen her again.
Wen Zhaoyue was a bit listless, after all, she had been frightened and fell ill. She hadn't rested well on horseback either. The group had hurried back all night for fear that the human trafficker would take revenge on them.
At this moment, Yueyue tightly hugged her big brother's neck, and her eyes were also slightly red and swollen, clearly having cried a lot beforehand.
"Yueyue, kowtow to Miss Su and thank her for saving your life."
Wen Zhaoming patted his younger sister's back and comforted her in a low voice.
If it weren't for the guard present, they wouldn't have been able to redeem their sister so smoothly.
When they rode their horses to catch up, Zhou Ya-po was talking to someone on a carriage by the roadside. Hearing the sound of hooves, she turned her head back and was about to drive away in her own oxcart.
"YueYue!"
Wen Zhaoming ignored all of this and immediately shouted loudly.
"Big brother! I'm here! Wow!"
Wen Zhaoyue heard her older brother's familiar voice and immediately responded with a cry before bursting into tears.
Zhou Yapo's eyes changed, knowing something was wrong. When she tried to leave, a sturdy woman riding a horse blocked her way. From the clothes she wore, it was clear that she wasn't an ordinary peasant. So, Zhou Yapo smiled awkwardly and asked:
"Madam, I wonder why you stopped my cart"
"Zhou Ya-po, don't pretend to be stupid. You took the man our young lady liked. Do you think you can get away with it"
The lotus casually flicked her whip and said coldly.
"Where did that come from"
Zhou Yapo reluctantly said.
"Well, the little girl sold by Wen Sandidi from Wengjia Village, isn't she related to anyone This is her elder brother. Wen Sandidi and his family have severed all ties; they aren't related at all. He has no right to sell her."
The lotus said faintly.
At this time, Wen Zhaoming had already pulled off the straw mat covering the ox cart. He saw his younger sister crying so hard she couldn't catch her breath, and he immediately picked her up. At this time, the other children on the ox cart were all asleep, apparently having been drugged.
This is silver, give me your indenture.
Wen Zhaoming didn't say much, and directly threw the silver into Zhou Yapo's arms.
This I bought for six taels of silver, this one I'm selling.
Obviously, the other party wanted to take advantage of the situation to make a quick buck. Unfortunately, Wen Zhaoming wouldn't fall for it. He held his sister in one hand and drew the blood-stained dagger from his back with the other, saying coldly:
"Bond of sale."
Zhou Yapo's face changed, she wanted to ask for help from the carriage beside her, but when the other side saw something was wrong, they had already driven away.
She hadn't expected it to rain so heavily. She had only brought one servant with her this time. Seeing the blood-stained dagger, she became frightened and immediately took out Wen Zhao Yue's deed of sale from her bosom and threw it to Wen Zhao Ming.
"Here you go, now I can leave!""Monster"
