The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

Su Qianqian sat in the carriage, carefully considering the matter of human traffickers.

Since Fang Cheng was able to sell her to human traffickers, it's highly likely that Fang Cheng is connected to human traffickers, and there might be many human traffickers' inside agents in this city.

Li Laoda may have died in the lake, but Zhu Laosan is still alive. As long as the government can catch Zhu Laosan, it will implicate Fang Cheng.

The Great Qi Dynasty was particularly strict with human traffickers. If a scumbag fiancé got involved with a human trafficker, he would go to jail and could never take the imperial examination route again.

Since the county government office is not far away, it's convenient to go there.

"Brother Zhu, could you please take me to the county government office first?"

Zhu Zi was extremely obedient to the benefactor of the Meng family. "Alright, young lady, please sit tight. I'll turn the carriage around first."

Qinghe County is a small county town, not very big. The carriage was fast, and it took less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to reach the gate of the county government.

"Please wait here for me a moment, Brother Zhu. I'll be right back."

"Okay."

The pillar that served as a bench got up from the ground and looked at Su Qianqian's back, feeling a strange sense of emotion.

Although the Meng family treated their servants very well, he, who was used to being the one to get on and off the carriage, felt a different kind of respect today.

Whether getting on or off the bus, this Miss Su avoided him and didn't use him as a stool. She was truly a very kind person.

Moreover, Miss Su also saved the young lady, and Zhu Zi silently wished Miss Su a bright future and a life of wealth and honor.

Su Qianqian approached the county government gate and saw two yamen runners with knives at their waists guarding the gate.

Many lanterns hung at the entrance of the county government office. The light yellow lantern paper had the word "government office" written in vermilion on it, and they swayed left and right in the wind.

It's really strange that the lantern was swaying so violently, yet it didn't catch fire from the candlelight inside.

Su Qianqian discovered that there were still more than a dozen people waiting there in the middle of the night.

A middle-aged couple was sitting on the ground crying, kowtowing to the soldiers and begging for help, saying that their daughter had been missing for several months and they still hadn't found her.

An elderly woman with white hair was also crying, her eyes red and swollen, lamenting that she had lost her granddaughter a month ago.

Therefore, Su Qianqian guessed that the human traffickers must have made multiple transactions in Qinghe County.

Parents' hearts are always full of love and concern. If they can find the human traffickers' hideout, they might be able to find clues about the previous batches of missing girls.

Su Qianqian also saw the short soldier guarding the city gate. This guy wasn't guarding the city gate; he actually came here too.

The short soldier was no longer as arrogant as before; instead, he knelt on the ground, hugged the leg of one of the officers, and cried with snot and tears streaming down his face.

"Officer Lin, you must help me find my sister, please."

Lin, the head constable, was having a headache. It was already past midnight, and if it weren't for the sudden major incident of multiple people going missing, he would have been asleep long ago.

That deadly flying knife thug, Li, was extremely arrogant. Half a month later, he went to the yamen to deliver a provocative letter, saying that he would commit a crime in the county. Unexpectedly, he actually committed a crime, but unfortunately, the county magistrate didn't take it seriously at all.

That was the number one criminal on the government's wanted list. Even the top-notch officers of the Imperial Guards in the capital couldn't catch him. How could a mere constable from Qinghe County possibly catch him?

Forget it, I'll just wash up and go to sleep. You can have anything in your dreams.

When the short soldier turned around and saw Su Qianqian, his eyes lit up. He immediately got up from the ground, ran to Su Qianqian, and looked at her with a fawning expression.

This time, she spoke with particular politeness. "Young lady, madam, you mentioned at the city gate earlier that there was a clue about human traffickers. Is that true? Have you seen my younger sister, Shuixiang? Today, she's wearing a light red swirling skirt and a daffodil of the same color in her hair..."

Lin, the head constable, was about to go back to sleep when he heard the word "clue" and stopped.

That's Li, the deadly flying knife master, who's the most wanted on the imperial court's bounty list. He's incredibly attractive to investigators.

As long as Li Laoda catches the deadly flying knife, he will become famous throughout the world.

Moreover, he could get promoted and make a fortune, and could go directly to the prefectural government to become a constable. His future was bright, and he could bring better living conditions to his family.

Su Qianqian recalled carefully, and indeed one of the six girls she had taken into her space was wearing a daffodil in her hair.

"She should be on which street right now, what's it?"

Su Qianqian was not familiar with the names of the streets in the city, so she turned around and asked Zhu Zi loudly.

"Brother Zhu, what was that street called again? It's the street where a lot of missing girls suddenly appeared."

Zhu Zi quickly replied, "It's called East Street."

Su Qianqian turned her head and said to the short soldier, "Yes, East Street, your sister is there. I saw her with my own eyes. Go and pick her up."

The short soldier turned to leave, but his mother stopped him.

"Amu, how can you just believe what a strange young girl says?" Her son is a constable; he can't be fooled by a poor peasant girl.

Amu suddenly realized: Oh right, I've only met this girl once, so why do I trust her so much?

Amu's mother tucked her messy hair behind her ear and said to Amu, "Let's continue waiting at the county office. I heard from Constable Lin that many constables have been dispatched, so news should come soon."

Su Qianqian was speechless. Looking at this woman's expression, could it be that she thought Su Qianqian liked Amu?

She wouldn't even look down on that cunning little soldier, okay?

Su Qianqian quickly took two steps back, creating distance between herself and Amu.

Amu and her son dawdled, wasting the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

At this moment, Constable Chen, who had been gathering information, returned and was reporting to Constable Lin, "Constable Lin, all the girls who went missing today suddenly appeared on East Street—hey, Amu, you're at the county office too? I saw your sister on East Street; she's still unconscious. You should go and get her quickly."

Amu regretted it so much he wanted to bang his head against the wall. If he had believed the little girl in front of him earlier, he would have seen his sister by now.

That young lady is a fortune teller. She said he would regret it when they were at the city gate, and sure enough, he did regret it.

How could you doubt such a young girl? That's really wrong of you.

Amu slapped himself twice across the face, then knelt down and kowtowed three times to Su Qianqian, saying, "Thank you, young lady."

He also returned the silver peanuts he had previously received from the little girl to her, and then turned and ran away.

However, there were still a few people outside the county government office who were unwilling to leave.

An elderly woman with white hair knelt before Officer Lin, weeping, "My granddaughter has been missing for a month. I heard that all the missing girls were found today. I'm sure my granddaughter will be found too. Please, Officer Lin—"

The old lady cried until her voice became hoarse.

Lin, the head constable, felt sorry for the old lady, but the matter she was asking for was really too difficult.

Constable Chen continued his report to Constable Lin, "For some reason, quite a few girls went missing today, but they all suddenly reappeared on East Street in the city just now. Why did the traffickers bring these girls back after abducting them?"

Officer Chen's brows furrowed deeply.

"Boss, this is very puzzling. The girl who went missing a month ago still hasn't been found, and the girl who went missing six months ago is also missing without any clues."

"Boss, I've already questioned the girls who went missing today, and they don't seem to know anything. The only one who might know something is Miss Meng—"

Officer Chen glanced around and immediately lowered his voice, because this matter concerned the reputation of Miss Meng and could not be overheard by just anyone. "It's a pity that the Meng family is unwilling to let us see Miss Meng."

The Meng family has a powerful background and powerful connections in the capital, so Officer Chen dared not forcefully question Miss Meng.

Even Officer Lin dared not.

He looked at Su Qianqian. This girl seemed to have mentioned human traffickers earlier, so she might know a little bit about it.

However, based on his many years of experience in handling cases, the young girl in front of him was a walking contradiction.

Judging from the girl's attire, she was clearly a peasant girl, but her posture and overall demeanor were completely different from ordinary women, and she seemed even more outstanding than the daughters of wealthy families.

Lin Bingtou asked Su Qianqian, "Young lady, how much do you know about human traffickers? Please tell me."

At the same time, Su Qianqian was also sizing up Lin, the head constable. He was burly, with a large knife at his waist, and calluses on the web of his right hand, so he must be a martial artist.

To reach the position of head constable, one must possess certain skills.

Seeing that Officer Lin was upright and righteous, but his face was full of worry, as if he was really concerned about the girls who had gone missing before, I had a feeling that I could tell this man about the human traffickers.

"Officer Lin, I do indeed have leads on human traffickers, and I even know roughly where their hideout is."

Lin, the head constable, brightened up, feeling that becoming a constable in the capital was a real possibility: "Miss, please tell me what happened?"
