Chapter 103 Rescue
Inside the house.
"Host, the message has been sent to your father. He's already outside with his men, preparing to come in and rescue you," the system told Xiao Siyue in her mind, explaining the current situation.
"Hmm, so what are the human traffickers doing now?" Xiao Siyue felt much relieved after hearing this.
"The eldest and second eldest are sleeping in their room, the third eldest is drunk and probably fast asleep, and the fourth eldest is keeping watch outside." The system told Xiao Siyue the information it had gathered.
"Okay, I understand."
Xiao Siyue pondered to herself, wondering if these people had any tricks up their sleeves that Xiao Qinian's men couldn't handle.
Xiao Siyue glanced at the children in the room, and at Wang Jiancheng, who was holding her tightly.
They will be saved soon.
The constables sneaked into the courtyard and arrested the fourth brother who was guarding outside, as well as the third brother who was sleeping like a log.
They then entered the second son's room.
As soon as they entered, they were discovered. The second brother, a burly man, knocked two constables to the ground and then opened the door to escape. However, he was caught by the constables who were waiting outside and heard the commotion.
The constables searched several more rooms but found no more child traffickers. When they reached the room where the children were being held, they rescued all the children.
"Sir, all the men have been captured." After bringing everyone out, a constable reported to Xiao Qinian.
Xiao Qinian was very happy, but after glancing at the children, he did not find Xiao Siyue.
Where is Yue'er? Why isn't Yue'er here? Could she have already escaped?
I glanced at the human traffickers again and found that there were only three of them.
No, the system previously stated that there were a total of four human traffickers.
Is it
Xiao Qinian had a bad feeling; Xiao Siyue might have been taken away by that human trafficker.
"Quickly, surround this area! We haven't caught all the human traffickers yet."
The constables also realized that their young lady was not among the children, so they quickly dispersed and surrounded the mansion.
Xiao Siyue, who had been taken away by human traffickers, was in great distress. Just when she thought she was about to be rescued, she was taken hostage by the leader of the human traffickers.
I wonder if her father has noticed that she hasn't gone out.
outside
After Wang Jiancheng came out, he kept looking at these people, and then he saw that all the yamen runners listened to Xiao Qinian.
She quickly went over and hugged Xiao Qinian's leg, saying, "Uncle, please save my sister! My sister has been captured by bad guys."
Xiao Qinian was very anxious when he saw that Xiao Siyue hadn't come out yet. He was too upset to coax the child, who was making a fuss.
But when he heard the child say that his sister was still in the hands of human traffickers, he looked at him.
"You just said your sister was captured by bad guys. Who is your sister? What's her name?"
"My sister's name." Only now did Wang Jiancheng realize that he didn't seem to know his sister's name.
However, it seems that Sister Li Qi knows, because I heard her call Sister Siyue before.
“My sister’s name is Siyue,” Wang Jiancheng quickly said.
Seeing this, Li Qi quickly stepped forward.
"Sir, the person who was kidnapped by human traffickers is Xiao Siyue."
Li Qi was a bit older, so she knew this person was the county magistrate.
"Do you know what happened back then?" Xiao Qinian asked Li Qi as soon as he confirmed that the person who had been kidnapped by human traffickers was his daughter.
"Sir, just before the constables arrived, the human traffickers suddenly broke into the house and kidnapped Siyue," Li Qi said.
"I don't know where she was taken. The traffickers grabbed Siyue and left immediately."
"Okay, I understand." Seeing that Li Qi didn't know much either, Xiao Qinian didn't ask any further questions.
"Tell me, where did your men take the people?" Xiao Qinian asked angrily, standing in front of the three human traffickers.
"Speak quickly,"
The three human traffickers remained silent.
Helpless, Xiao Qinian could only hope that his men could find the person.
After waiting for a long time, a constable came over to report: "Sir, the person has been found, but the traffickers have taken the young lady hostage, so we dare not take any rash action."
"Where is it? Let's go there." Xiao Qinian asked anxiously as soon as he heard this.
Yue'er was captured by human traffickers. Was she injured? Was she scared?
She'll definitely be scared; she's so young.
"Sir, it's behind the house, not far from here."
Xiao Qinian followed the yamen runners and walked quickly into the distance.
Upon arrival, they found Xiao Siyue being held by human traffickers with a dagger held to her neck.
Xiao Qinian's heart jumped into his throat, but he dared not say anything.
He was afraid that if the human traffickers knew that Xiao Siyue was his daughter, they would become even more unscrupulous.
Xiao Siyue's eyes lit up when she saw Xiao Qinian coming over.
Although she wasn't very smart, she knew that this wasn't the time to reunite with her father, so she pretended not to know Xiao Qinian.
"Don't come any closer, or I'll kill her!" The trafficker took a step back as he saw Xiao Qinian approaching and shouted arrogantly.
"Hmph, you'd better release the hostage." Xiao Qinian snorted coldly, seemingly not caring about the hostage at all.
The eldest brother was still somewhat incredulous at Xiao Qinian's behavior, but his hands remained firm, though he appeared flustered.
"As the local official, don't you care about her life?" The leader's voice had lost its previous arrogance.
"Of course I'll take care of it, but injuries and fatalities are inevitable." Xiao Qinian suppressed his worries and continued to deal with the human traffickers.
However, he gestured to his subordinate with his eyes, signaling him to be ready at any time.
"Let me go, and I'll release her." The trafficker was clearly frightened and backed down.
"Letting you go? Impossible." Xiao Qinian refused outright. At this point, he couldn't back down, or the human traffickers would have something to use against him.
Seeing that he had already said all that, yet the traffickers still wouldn't let him go, they became even more panicked, their fear intensifying.
He was suddenly awakened from his sleep, but escaping would be very difficult, so he took a child hostage as a precaution.
Who knew that this county magistrate was different from other officials, and didn't care about the life or death of the hostages.
But he didn't dare touch Xiao Siyue. He knew that once he killed Xiao Siyue, he would have no chance to escape. He still wanted to live, and Xiao Siyue was his only bargaining chip. He was gambling that these people wouldn't disregard the hostage.
But just as he was momentarily distracted, a constable quietly stepped forward and rescued Xiao Siyue.
The moment Xiao Siyue left, the human trafficker erupted in fury: "You lied to me!"
He grabbed the dagger and tried to kill Xiao Siyue.
But before they could even get close, they were seized by the constables.
After being rescued, Xiao Siyue finally couldn't hold back her tears and ran straight to Xiao Qinian.
"father"
Xiao Qinian also hugged Xiao Siyue and comforted her. He was really afraid that the human traffickers would kill Xiao Siyue without any regard for her safety.
Now I can finally relax.
The traffickers, who had been apprehended by the constables, were even more enraged upon seeing this scene.
"You two are actually father and daughter? You were just playing a trick on me."
Xiao Qinian released Xiao Siyue without saying anything to the human traffickers.
Instead, he said to the constables, "Take them away."
"Yes, my lord."
The constables led the human traffickers, who were glaring menacingly at Xiao Qinian, back to the abandoned house.
