"That's my child, give it back to me!"
"Nonsense, this is obviously my child, why are you, a woman, so rude?"
"You're talking nonsense. You just said that my child was cute and wanted to hold it. Why did it become your child? This is my baby. It's been five months a year now. I brought the child to Chang'an to find him. It belongs to the father. There is also a butterfly-shaped birthmark on the back of the child’s neck!" Chinese website
"It's really ridiculous. The birthmark on the back of the neck can be seen even if you get a little closer. How can it be counted as evidence?"
Tang Ping and others squeezed to the front and asked the people watching the excitement, only to find out that the two women were fighting for a child.
Both sides claimed that the child was theirs, but the child was just over a year old and could only speak.
When the women on both sides call their children mother, the children will squeal like milk, so it is really not easy to tell the difference through the children.
The woman holding the child shouted: "Look, everyone, come and take a look. This woman insists on saying that my child is hers. Look at the clothes this child is wearing? Look at mine." Wearing?"
Tang Ping and the others took a look and found that the child was dressed very richly, with a big red coat, a pair of tiger-head shoes, and a tiger-head hat on his head.
The woman holding the child was also dressed in a wealthy manner.
On the contrary, it was the woman opposite her, wearing a plain cloth with a few patches on her elbows.
In such a cold weather, I still wore a pair of straw sandals, but I stuffed some rags into the shoes so that my toes were not exposed.
After hearing what the woman said, the other people all commented: "It seems that the one holding the child is the real parent!"
"Yes, look at their clothes. The woman is so shabby. How can she afford such good clothes for her child?"
"Yes, if you look at the lady holding the child, she looks more like the child's biological mother!"
"Those who steal children are the worst!"
"Isn't that right? Everyone surround her and send her to the official!"
"Send off to the official!"
"Send off to the official!"
The commoner woman had been trying her best to argue, but her voice alone could not cover up the shouts of so many people around her.
Seeing that everyone supported her, the woman in gorgeous clothes beamed with joy, and then said to the people around her:
"Thank you all, thank you for speaking up, but I don't think she looks like a bad person, and she is dressed so shabbily, so she is probably a poor person. Moreover, she only said in words that the child is hers, and there is no way that she may have some abnormality in her brain. So please forgive her this time for my sake!"
This woman in gorgeous clothes is the real owner. Since she said there is no need to report to the official, the other people have calmed down a bit.
"Sir, something seems wrong!" Xiao Luo quietly pulled on Tang Ping's sleeves and said, "I just leaned over and smelled it. Although the child was dressed neatly, there was a smell of thatch on his body that was different from that of the commoner woman. It’s exactly the same in people.”
You must know that Xiao Luo is extremely talented in cooking, and her sense of taste and smell are also very sensitive.
Usually new perfumes are just a mixture of several floral scents. She can tell which flowers are used in it as long as she smells it.
Wang Qingluan also agreed and said:
"Just now, when the woman in fine clothes showed everyone the birthmark on the child's neck, she pulled the child by the collar without mercy. And judging from the look on the woman in common clothes, it didn't seem like she was faking it."
"In my law of the Tang Dynasty, it is a serious crime to steal a child. It would be better for you to go and ask." Lu Yi also whispered beside Tang Ping.
Tang Ping felt that it was indeed difficult to identify who was the child's real mother just by looking at the surface, but this matter must be clarified.
"Please wait!" Seeing that the woman in rich clothes was about to leave with her child in her arms, the woman in common clothes wanted to go up and stop her, but was stopped by other people. Tang Ping shouted.
Then he walked over with the people around him.
Although Tang Ping did not use his original appearance,
They were pretty, but even Xiao Luo in their group was wearing exquisite jewelry given by Tang Ping. Just by looking at them, one could tell that they had a good background.
Some people gave up their positions and waited for Tang Ping and others to come closer.
Xiao Luo sniffed and said, "Sir, you must be right."
Tang Ping touched her head, and then asked the commoner woman: "You said this child is yours, but what evidence is there? Why are your clothes so different?"
"I..." The woman was a little desperate, but Tang Ping suddenly appeared and sobbed: "I... my husband is in the army in Chang'an. I brought my children to Chang'an to see him, but I went to the military camp today. I found out that he had not returned from patrolling the city and we had not met each other yet. The child's clothes were purchased with the military salary he sent home, and I...I was not willing to buy them myself."
As he spoke, he took out a letter from his arms: "This is the letter that my husband brought home with his military salary. I...I am illiterate. Look, noble man, you can make the decision for me!"
As if seeing a savior, the commoner woman knelt on the ground and crawled in front of Tang Ping, and handed over the letter in her trembling hand.
Xiao Luo quickly went up and helped the person up, while Lu Yi also took the somewhat damaged letter.
At this time, the woman in gorgeous clothes spoke up: "I already said this child is mine, why are you stopping me here?"
He wanted to leave, but in front of him were two big men, Lao Cui and Lao Du, blocking his way on the left and right.
"Come on, come on! These people must be with that woman. They want to rob the child on the street!"
"Haha, you said we were with that woman, so why don't we dress that woman in the same clothes as us?" Li Bai asked with a smile.
Some people wanted to come forward, but they were stunned when they heard Li Bai's words.
That's right, if they were a group of people, then if they had given the woman good clothes from the beginning, there wouldn't have been such a big flaw.
At this time, Lu Yi had already finished reading the letter from home and said to Tang Ping: "Sir, there is nothing wrong with the letter. The person in the letter said that he is on duty with the Qianniu Guard. The nearest west direction of the city is indeed patrolled by the Qianniu Guard."
"Where's the evidence?" The woman in gorgeous clothes hugged the child and shouted, "You should have evidence after all! You can't see someone else's child on the street and say it's yours, right? What does a letter like this mean? Evidence? The letter didn’t say that this was their child, nor did it mention the child’s characteristics!”
"Yes!" The clothed woman's eyes suddenly lit up, and she was about to kneel down again, but Xiao Luo held her back tightly: "There is also evidence. My tiger boy is wearing a pair of blue cloth pants. It can be seen from the outside. Don’t come out.”
"What kind of evidence is that?" the woman in fine clothes yelled, "I just took off my child's pants when I peed, and you saw it all."
She kept speaking quite loudly, and the child she was holding seemed to be frightened, but she still did not restrain herself and continued to roar loudly.
Tang Ping already felt that 80% of the children should belong to the commoner woman.
"Okay, since you all have your own opinions, why don't you come and grab it? Whoever grabs the child will be the one who owns the child!"
At this time, if the woman in gorgeous clothes was really the mother of the child, she would probably call the police, but judging from her appearance, she just wanted to leave quickly.
Many people nearby also noticed the clues and started talking about it.
The woman in gorgeous clothes noticed that the direction of the wind was gradually changing. She was anxious to leave and nodded in agreement: "This is what you said, noble man. If I snatch the child later, don't break your promise."
Tang Ping was about to nod, but the woman in cloth said anxiously: "No, this child is still so young, how can he stand the fight between you and me?"
"You just don't dare!" The woman in gorgeous clothes said to Tang Ping with a smile: "My lord, you see she doesn't dare to compete with me, this child is naturally mine."
"I said grab it, then grab it!" With a look from Tang Ping, Lu Yi reached over and stretched out her hand. Even if the woman in gorgeous clothes didn't want to, she could only hand the child into her hands.
Seeing the child crying, Luyi took out the lollipop that Xiaoluo asked for and put it to her mouth.
, the child tasted the sweetness and immediately stopped and started eating the candy.
Lu Yi said to the child: "Call me mother."
As expected, the child obediently held the lollipop in his mouth and muttered "Mother".
It seems that this child really can't tell who is his real mother.
In desperation, she could only follow Tang Ping's instructions, put the child on the ground and stand upright, hold the child's armpits, and then ask the two women to hold the child's hands.
The people around him all commented: "Where did this noble man come from? He is too arrogant!"
"How can such a child withstand the pull of two adults?"
"Yes, how can we use such a method to determine whose child it is?"
The woman in common clothes turned pale after hearing everyone's discussion, but the woman in fine clothes held the child's arm tightly, waiting for Lu Yi to give the order.
As soon as Lu Yi started to speak, the woman in rich clothes pulled the child into her arms, while the woman in common clothes looked at the opposite side nervously.
"I won, hahaha, can I go now?"
"Bold! You actually robbed a child in the street, but you think that the law of Tang Dynasty does not exist?" Tang Ping shouted angrily, pointed at the woman in gorgeous clothes and said: "Just now, it was clear that this woman was heartbroken for her child and did not dare to use force. But you have no scruples and just want to grab the child in your hands. Isn’t it clear who is your biological child and who is not?”
"You...you're talking nonsense!" The woman sat on the ground and howled: "Children are being snatched in Chang'an City. Is there anyone who cares about it? My poor child, someone is going to snatch it away from you!"
At this moment, several more people rushed in, and the woman shouted as if she saw a life-saving straw: "Come quickly, if you don't come, my child will be taken away!"
The person who came had a ruthless look on his face, stared at Tang Ping and the others and threatened, "Don't meddle in your own business!"
Others heard what the woman said about snatching the child just now, and they also shouted angrily: "My sister-in-law naturally feels sorry for the child, and of course she can't hand the child over to outsiders. What's wrong with using a little force to snatch the child away? "
There were almost a dozen people who came, and they were all strong men, and they immediately gained the upper hand in terms of momentum.
The woman in gorgeous clothes stopped crying and stood up and said, "Let's go and see if we have a baby in her arms. Who wants to stop us? Is there no royal law in Chang'an?"
Those strong men surrounded her and the child and wanted to push the crowd away.
"It looks like you are lucky today!" Tang Ping said leisurely: "I originally thought it was a pity not to be able to go shopping, but if we can catch so many kidnappers, it will be a great merit, and it will be great!"
Lu Yi nodded and said to the headset she had been wearing: "Come here, everyone."
You must know that although Tang Ping has changed his appearance, the people who protect him do not dare to neglect at all. There are many people quietly following him within a radius of fifty meters. However, if Tang Ping does not call them, they will be like ordinary people. Same as common people.
Before Lu Yi finished speaking, countless people ran over and surrounded them, including people who looked like city guards and city administrators.
Tang Ping also turned around and asked Xiaoqing to wipe off the makeup on his face with makeup remover, revealing his true appearance.
"Pingguo Gong!"
"It's Duke Ping!"
"Ah, it's really Duke Ping!"
Tang Ping pressed his hands to calm down the people, and then looked at the panicked group of people: "I will give you one last chance. Whose child is this? You must know that I can use just a few hairs to Find out who the biological mother of this child is, and if you continue to lie now, it will be an even greater crime!"
As soon as Tang Ping finished speaking, one of the group of strong men who came later jumped out and said: "Ping Guo Gong, this child is not ours. We came to Chang'an this time just to bring a group of children to sell. Today was originally I'm leaving, I'm afraid Liu Sanniang has evil intentions when she sees that this child has a good face and can be sold for a good price."
"If Duke Ping can exonerate me, I will take you immediately to the place where the children were sold."
Tang Ping didn't expect that there would be such a cooperative kidnapper. His face darkened, he waved his hand and said, "Take them all."
Then he said to the man who jumped out first: "Where were those children sold? Come and lead the way. If you can save a lot of them, I will absolve you of the crime!"
