As soon as the word "human trafficker" came out, the middle-aged man's eyes instantly shrank and he subconsciously wanted to run away. Jia Shiyi held his shoulders and stopped him from moving.
Jia Cong chuckled and said faintly: "It seems that I guessed it right! In that case, I will give you a shackle. I will take this girl away and see if I can find her biological parents!"
At this time, one of the victims stepped forward and bowed to Jia Cong: "This young master, I am Feng Yuan, has signed a contract with this person, agreeing to come over in three days. In any case, as evidenced by the contract, this girl I'm already here, I hope the young master doesn't cause any trouble again..."
Jia Congli ignored Feng Yuan and signaled his soldiers to take Zhen Yinglian back.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yuan impulsively stepped forward to stop him, and even grabbed Zhen Yinglian's sleeve, almost dragging her down.
Jia Shiyi hit Feng Yuan on the arm with his scabbard and shouted: "How dare you! How dare you be rude in front of Lord Qianhu!"
Wow!
Such a small Qianhu official!
The crowd of onlookers was instantly in an uproar. There were not many people in Jinling City who could be called Qianhu adults, not to mention that this little fat man obviously spoke Beijing Mandarin, which was very different from Wu Yin.
Feng Yuan let go of his hand in pain, but he still stood in front of Jia Cong. Chongwen Academy advocates the idea of suppressing military force with civility. If the official of Qianhu is no more than five ranks, how could he be afraid?
What's more, the child in front of him is only eight or nine years old, so there is no way he can achieve any meritorious deeds. It must be those fat-headed noble children who have received rewards due to the kindness of their ancestors.
How can we, the saint's disciples, be afraid of vulgar warriors?
Feng Yuan was about to speak when a scholar next to him shook his head: "Brother Feng has asked this girl earlier, and this man is indeed her father. And the contract has been established. According to Daxia law, this girl is already Brother Feng's. Yes. Even though you are an official of thousands of households, you still have to act in accordance with the law!"
Another scholar also joined in, looked at Jia Cong with disdain, and said with a smile: "It's extremely, extremely, so what about Qianhu? Don't you think Qianhu dares to violate the law? Wealth cannot be suppressed, and power cannot be subdued. I The disciples of other saints will not be afraid of you just because you are a high-ranking official, and they will definitely have a good discussion with Master Qianhu..."
"Zheng!"
Jia Cong directly pulled out the Yanling knife from his waist, and with a flash of cold light, it touched the throat of the last scholar who spoke.
The cold touch made the man shut up immediately and shiver subconsciously. The other people were also as silent as ice, especially the one who screamed in fright after the sword pierced the scholar's skin.
"Blood! Blood! I'm bleeding!"
The scholar who was held up by Jia Cong's knife felt dizzy and his lower body was instantly soaked. He even wet his pants in the street.
Poof!
Jia Cong couldn't help laughing when he saw this man's performance. He sheathed his sword and said to Xue Pan, "Brother Xue, guess what I just thought of?"
Xue Pan looked confused and asked, "What?"
Jia Cong looked at the Qinhuai River that was flowing to the east. He withdrew his smile and his face became serious. He sighed and said three words: "The water is too cold!"
Of course Xue Pan didn't know what the water was too cold meant, but Jia Cong was filled with emotion.
He said to Jia Shiyi: "Go to the people from Jinling Mansion and ask them to investigate this matter. Since they are human traffickers, they will definitely not be the only victims."…
Jia Shiyi looked at the trembling scholars, pointed at them with disdain and asked, "Little Third Master, where are these scholars?"
"If there is no business, there will be no harm. They themselves have said that they must act according to the law, so let's hand it over to the Jinling Mansion together..."
Jia Cong hurriedly said this, and suddenly remembered that Xue Pan was also one of the buyers.
He apologized and said to Xue Pan, "But I'm afraid Brother Xue will have to suffer for once..."
…
Speaking of which, the prefect of Jinling was an old acquaintance of the Jia family, and they might have been a family member five hundred years ago.
Jiayu Village, also known as Shifei, also known as Yucun.
He was born as a second-level Jinshi. He was dismissed for corruption and favoritism in the past. He was later hired by the Lin family as Daiyu's first teacher. Through his relationship with Lin Ruhai, he
Climbed to Rongguo Mansion.
With the help of Jia Zheng, he was restored to his original position. It has been several years since he was promoted to the fourth rank of Jinling Prefect.
When he saw Jia Cong's official certificate that Jia Shiyi took out, he immediately remembered his experience of groveling in the front hall of Rongguo Mansion.
This was an unbearable memory for him, a fourth-grade official who was born as a Jinshi. Unfortunately, his official position was not big enough now, so he could not fight against such a behemoth as Rong Guofu.
Jia Yucun secretly took a deep breath, raised his hands with a smile and asked: "Since Mr. Cong has come to Jinling, why don't you come to see me, so that I can do my best as a landlord? Otherwise, let the pardoning public, the government If you know that I failed to take good care of Mr. Cong, wouldn’t you be upset?"
"Back to your lord, the mistress went to visit the holy lady after receiving the saint's order. Later, he met Mrs. Xue's family. You should also know that Mrs. Xue's family is an in-law of my family. If the elders invite me, it's hard for the mistress to refuse. "
Jia Shiyi felt uncomfortable the moment he saw Jia Yucun. He resisted the urge to chop the man and said, "My lord, it's more important to deal with the case first. If he hadn't been caught by the mistress, this trafficker would have succeeded." ! By the way, the girl was taken to the Xue family by the mistress. If necessary, you can have someone come to the Xue family to deliver a message."
…
Xue Pan felt bad all over when the planned music listening session fell through and he was charged with human trafficking.
He asked aggrievedly: "Brother Cong, I haven't offended you, brother. Why did you just take advantage of me?"
"The law of Daxia stipulates that a person is sold as a slave, regardless of the first offender or an accomplice, and the punishment is one hundred rods and three thousand miles. If the person is a wife, concubine, and descendant, the punishment is one hundred rods and three years' imprisonment. If there is adoption or marriage, Anyone who resells the children of a good family in the name of others shall be punished according to the crime of treachery. Those who lure and sell their beloved people into slaves and maids will be punished with a hundred rods and three years of imprisonment; those who are wives, concubines and descendants shall be punished with a rod of ninety years and a prison sentence of two and a half years."
Jia Cong drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, first bowed his hands apologetically to Mrs. ?"
Daxia calls the act of using violence or fraud to deprive others of their freedom and keep them in a state of slavery as "snatching people", and the act of selling out people as "sold people".
To put it simply, human traffickers are severely punished by law, and buyers also receive a reduced penalty. The children of wealthy families like Xue Pan were no exception. At most, they could pay silver to atone for their sins and avoid being exiled to the army because of their ignorance. ….
How could Xue Pan understand this? He immediately became anxious when he heard that not only did he want to be beaten, but he was also exiled from the army.
"Hey, brother Cong, I really didn't know. Not only did the money go to the trafficker, but I was also beaten by those acid scholars. Look, look, he's still bleeding!"
Mrs. Xue felt sorry for her son, and she also complained that Jia Cong had caused extra problems. But he was still reasonable after all, and he didn't say anything harsh under Xue Baochai's soft comfort.
Jia Cong comforted him: "Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet..."
After listening to Jia Cong's explanation, the Xue family, mother and son, finally understood Jia Cong's plan.
"Aunt, originally I wouldn't make this matter a big deal, but the person my nephew met today told me that behind Chongwen Academy are the three major chambers of commerce. They have been playing tricks on the Xue family, why not Take this opportunity to try the bottom of the three major chambers of commerce. Anyway, compared to those few scholars who are obviously informed, Brother Xue will only get a few slaps at most, don’t you think?"
Of course Mrs. Xue knew that the three major chambers of commerce had been working on the Xue family's ideas, but she was a housewife after all, and would always be hesitant and difficult to make up her mind when it came to her son.
Instead, Xue Baochai on the side clenched his fists and persuaded softly: "Brother Cong is right. I asked someone to inquire. The person with Feng Yuan today is Qian Qianyi's grandson. The Qian family can and Let’s not deal with it. Anyway, my brother is thick-skinned and will only get hit a few times, so it won’t be a problem. We might as well make the matter bigger and see what the Qian family will do!”
With Jia Cong backing them up, the Xue family would not be able to fight back if Jia Cong left. How could the Xue family alone be able to withstand the combined pressure of the three major chambers of commerce?
Do we really want to go north to the capital to avoid disaster and survive?

The weak Mrs. Xue could endure it, but how could the proud Xue Baochai endure it?
She bowed to Jia Cong Yingying: "Now there are only orphans and widows in the Xue family. The enemy is powerful. I asked Brother Cong to help my family survive the crisis. Baochai is very grateful!"
Jia Cong hurriedly jumped up, stepped aside and waved his hands repeatedly: "Hey, hey, sister Xue, what are you doing? Aren't you slapping me in the face? Get up, get up... Auntie, please advise Sister Xue..."
Xue Baochai was indeed thoughtful and seized the opportunity to fight Jia Cong.
However, Jia Cong also wanted to take action. Firstly, he hated human traffickers, and secondly, he thought of Lin Ruhai who was still fighting back against the salt merchants in Yangzhou.
This group of unscrupulous wealthy merchants in Jiangnan has become a cancer that restricts the development of the country. It is not just the salt merchants, but also the people who stabbed Chao Lin Ruhai all over the states in Jiangnan.
The three major general chambers of commerce, which monopolized the major commercial banks in Jiangnan, had contributed to the situation. After all, what businessman wouldn’t be tempted by salt?
After all, he is Sister Lin's father and the father-in-law of Mr. Cong. Since you dare to stab him, I might as well give you a bayonet!
Mrs. Xue couldn't resist her daughter, but she also listened to Baochai's advice and nodded in agreement with Jia Cong's plan. While Jia Cong and Baochai were discussing the details, Jia Shiyi sent the latest information.
As a local snake, Wei Song found out the details of this human trafficker in just two hours. You don’t know if you don’t check, but Wei Song’s heart was really shocked once he checked.
After Jia Cong read Wei Song's handwritten letter, he was overjoyed and filled with anger.
"Damn Li Xun, he dares to make any kind of shady money! Can he sleep at night with such money that damages his morality and conscience?"
Jia Cong, who was angry about the crime, walked out of the main hall and called to his soldiers: "Uncle Eleven, follow the clues given by Uncle Wei and rescue those poor people first. Remember, those traffickers try to catch those alive, Li Xun I want your dog’s life!”
