Seeing Li Ding's excitement, Zhao Feng quickly asked Li Ding to tell him the situation.
"Sir, I followed your instructions and searched for the maids and servants who left the princess's mansion. However, I searched for a long time, but I couldn't find them at all."
"Then I suddenly saw someone saying that the Princess's Mansion was recruiting people, so I went over to take a look, and it turned out that someone was really recruiting people under the name of the Princess's Mansion!"
Li Ding said this and couldn't help gritting his teeth.
"What they promised those people was five taels of silver a month, and as long as they were willing to come over, they could give them one month's wages on the spot."
"In order to find out what was going on, I pretended to be a servant and got in. But who knew that after they brought us together, they didn't bring us to the Princess Mansion at all, but sent us to other places overnight. "
"We were all locked up. It was only then that I realized that they were not recruiting servants to Princess Ti's Mansion at all, but were engaging in human trafficking!"
Zhao Feng was immediately shocked. He looked at Li Ding carefully and found that Li Ding had indeed lost a lot of weight. He must have suffered a lot.
Zhao Feng quickly asked Li Ding to sit down, poured a cup of tea for Li Ding himself, and then asked Li Ding.
"What happened next?"
Li Ding drank up the tea, smiled, and said to Zhao Feng.
"Sir, don't you think about who I am? I am a member of the militia!"
"After I found out that they wanted to sell us, they directly united with other people who were deceived to come here, and then they didn't stop doing anything. When they relaxed their vigilance, they directly started a riot, leading with Those people ran back!"
"Although some people were taken away, they let me know that all the maids and servants in the princess's mansion were also sold by them through this method!"
Zhao Feng instantly took a breath of cold air. You must know that the maids and servants recruited in Zhou Tong's princess mansion are all considered to be relatively high-level. They are not selling themselves at all, they are just signing an employment relationship with the princess mansion. .
If such a person is sold, he can sell it for a good price, at least 50 taels of silver!
And those people actually rely on such a method to secretly carry out human trafficking. They are simply audacious!
Although the Zhou Dynasty did not object to selling oneself into slavery, it was based on the willingness of both parties without coercion. To deceive people and then sell them like this has violated the laws of the court!
Zhao Feng frowned, looked up at Li Ding and asked.
"Then did you find any witnesses?"
Li Ding nodded and lowered his voice.
"Sir, I rescued a maid. This maid used to be a member of the princess's mansion. She was secretly sold by Mrs. Liu. She hates Mrs. Liu so much!"
"I have placed her in an inn in Fucheng. Since her identity is relatively sensitive, would you like to come with me to take a look at her?"
When Zhao Feng heard this, he immediately became energetic and nodded immediately.
Later, Zhao Feng took Liu Jia and Li Ding to the inn and found the very uneasy maid.
"Brother Li, you're finally here. I'm so scared. I won't be sold again, right?"
Li Ding scratched his head in embarrassment. As soon as they came in, the maid rushed to his side and grabbed his arm with a frightened look.
Zhao Feng couldn't help but smile. From the look of this maid, it could be seen that she was not one of those who deliberately deceived Li Ding.
After all, it is difficult to disguise a person's eyes. The fear in this maid's eyes must have been caused by something very terrible, and she may even be a little crazy.
Li Ding patted the maid's arm and comforted her softly.
"Okay, Xiaoqing, you are safe now. This is the adult of my family. He will definitely help you seek justice!"
The maid named Xiaoqing looked up at Zhao Feng, her eyes covered with mist.
Zhao Feng asked Xiaoqing before asking him to sit down.
"Your name is Xiaoqing, right? What happened to you? Can you tell me about it?"
Xiaoqing nodded, with an expression of fear on her face, as if recalling those things had already frightened her.
"Sir, I was originally the personal maid of Her Highness the Princess, but because I offended the housekeeper, Mrs. Liu, she said she wanted to fire me."
"My parents were waiting for me to earn money and go back home. I didn't want to be fired, so she said there was a way to save me, and then she took me to a house."
"It turns out there were a lot of people ambushing me there. As soon as I entered, they tied me up and then verified my virginity!"
When Xiaoqing said this, her face was so red that she was about to bleed. It was obviously a very humiliating treatment.
"Then they said they wanted to sell me. I didn't agree and planned to run away. So they caught me and beat me. They locked me up and didn't give me food!"
"In the end, if I hadn't met Brother Li Ding, I might have died there long ago!"
Hearing Xiaoqing's words, Li Ding couldn't help but sigh and spoke to Zhao Feng in a low voice.
"This Xiaoqing is the most stubborn girl. When I found her, she was locked up in a water prison and being tortured by those people because they wanted to sell her to a wealthy businessman, and the wealthy businessman's request was that Bai Yiyi Baishun, they want to make Xiaoqing surrender in this way."
Hearing this, Zhao Feng slammed the table angrily, but Xiao Qing was startled.
Zhao Feng gritted his teeth, looked up at Xiao Qing and said.
"Are all the maids and servants who were fired before like you?"
Xiaoqing nodded, with two lines of hot tears streaming down her face.
"Sir, you must save them. Many people could no longer bear the torture and committed suicide. Some of them have been sold. I don't even know where they went."
"They all have parents and family members. Their families don't know that they have encountered such a situation. They are probably still waiting at home!"
Zhao Feng took a deep breath and managed to suppress the anger in his heart. He raised his head and looked at Xiaoqing and said.
"Don't worry, I will definitely rescue them, and I will not let any of these criminals go!"
Hearing this, Xiaoqing immediately looked at Zhao Feng with great gratitude, and immediately planned to kneel down to Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng asked Li Ding to comfort Xiao Qing and took Liu Jia out.
Walking outside the inn, Zhao Feng looked up at the clear sky. He didn't expect that there was such a dark reality under the clear sky.
