When everyone heard the voice, they all looked over and found that it was a beautiful woman in rich clothes. Although she was dressed well, she could not hide the fatigue in her eyes.
Feng Ji looked at the woman in front of him with a frown on his face. Yes, this lady’s child was also abducted and one of the people who has not been found yet.
"Mrs. Dong, why are you here?"
The person who came was Dongchen's wife Hongling. She had set out with Xiaoman and should have reached Fucheng long ago, but when they passed through Yuancheng, their little daughter Xingxing had chickenpox and could not continue on the journey. Xiaoman was anxious to see Qian Jiujiu, thinking that Hongling's ability did not require anyone to accompany her.
So Xiaoman left first and waited for Xingxing to recover before Hongling continued on the journey with the two children. But who would have known that Xingxing recovered, but Doudou was missing.
She stayed here for such a long time, originally asking the government for help, asking Feng Ji to help find someone. Who knew Feng Ji was so useless, the government could not send any useful information, and she had been paying attention to investigating these things.
During this period of time, we have found some clues. There should be an insider in the government office, but we don't know who it is. It was not easy for someone to send the captured human traffickers here today. How could they be sent to the government office
Isn't that the meat buns and meat will never come back? The most important thing is that she has searched among these children and found that her children are not among them, so she must take these people down and interrogate them herself.
Simply put, she didn't trust Feng Ji and his group of officials: "Can't I come? My son has been missing for such a long time, and I asked you, Lord Feng, to find him, but there is still no clue. Do you think I can still trust you?"
"So I have to investigate this matter myself. Maybe these people have kidnapped my son, so these five people must be handed over to me."
Cheng Yu was also shocked when he saw the woman in front of him. She brought local soldiers with her. She seemed to be a powerful person. Feng Ji couldn't help but say, "This is not appropriate. Soldiers cannot interfere in internal affairs. The woman should know this."
Hong Ling nodded, "Yes, I understand, but it's different now. Your ability is really worrying. It's been two months, and my son is still missing. He's not among these children. Maybe he's been sold. I want to interrogate him."
"Also, arrest this master. Since he is related to me, we must arrest him first. If he is wrongly accused, we can prove his innocence. If he is not wrongly accused, sir, whether you are guilty of harboring someone is still to be determined."
"As for whether I have the qualifications, you can appeal to the court. I'll wait. Take everyone away!"
Several soldiers came and took the traffickers away, and also arrested the master. The master struggled a few times, but found it was in vain: "Sir, I am innocent, you can't let her arrest people at will."
Unfortunately, facing the powerful Madam Dong, Feng Ji said that he was powerless: "Master, you should go with me. Madam Dong is not such an unreasonable person."
The corner of the master's mouth twitched. For the first time, he hated Feng Ji for being so incapable of doing things and could only be taken away by the soldiers. Most importantly, Madam Dong paused and looked at Feng Ji.
"Lord Feng, I will leave you a team of soldiers so that you don't have any manpower to use."
Then he looked at the remaining team of soldiers and said, "Captain Liu, look after these children and make sure every child finds his or her family."
When Captain Liu heard this, he immediately assured: "Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely send all these children home."
Hong Ling then led the others away. Cheng Yu glanced at Feng Ji, who had no expression on his face. Cheng Yu then laughed dryly: "Master Feng, I have delivered the child. Can we leave now?"
Feng Ji looked at these people and said, "Don't leave Yuancheng for the time being. Find a place to settle down."
Although Cheng Yu and his party had no intention of leaving, they were still a little angry when they were told that they could not leave. However, they were government officials after all! They could only nod and said, "Okay, sir, we will send someone to report after we find a place to stay."
Feng Ji nodded, still very satisfied with Cheng Yu's cooperative attitude, and pointed to a yamen runner: "Follow them, and come back later to report their whereabouts."
The yamen runner had no choice but to follow him, while Feng Ji began to deal with the children, asking people to notify their families to come and pick them up. Fortunately, these were all children, still young, so there was no need to worry about the girls' reputation.
Hongling brought people back to the garrison camp here. The general stationed in Yuancheng was Zhang Meng, who married Hongchou. Hongchou was originally a maid who worked with Qian Jiujiu together with Hongling. Later, she married Zhang Meng. Zhang Meng was sent out to be the garrison general, and she followed him.
It was because of Hongchou that Hongling stayed and she could also reunite with her sisters. But who would have thought that she would even lose her child.
After learning that Hong Ling had gone out, Hong Chou also came with her children. Hong Chou had two children, both sons, named Zhang Xi and Zhang Chen. Both children were about the same age as Xingxing, so they were the ones who accompanied Xingxing during this period.
"Hongling, you're back, but have you found Doudou?"
Hongchou was also very worried about this matter, but he still couldn't find the child. When Hongling came, she only held Xingxing and cried, which scared Hongchou.
Hong Ling shook her head: "No, but I have made some progress. I brought back the yamen's legal advisor and five human traffickers. I am going to interrogate them now."
When they were princesses, who dared to offend them? And each of them was so powerful, these human traffickers were just asking for trouble.
The five of them were almost scared to death. As for the master, he was completely panicked since he learned that the child he abducted was actually the general's son. General Zhang even sent people to seal off the city for seven days just to find the child.
Fortunately, his subordinates were more resourceful and had already moved the people out of the city, so they were not caught. But now, even he was caught. These damn people are not tight-lipped at all.
Five people had been tied to a pillar. These pillars were used by the military camp to punish traitors or deserters. They were rarely used, but this time they came in handy.
Hongling held a whip in her hand. Several children had been taken away by the nanny. She didn't want them to see their mother's cruel side. She whipped a human trafficker and asked, "Tell me if you have seen my son."
The portrait of Doudou was shown to several human traffickers. When they saw this person, their faces were distorted: "It was this child who came in with the escorts and arrested us all."
When Hong Ling heard the news about her child, she was instantly overjoyed: "Where is he now?"
How could the traffickers know? "We don't know. After we were captured, we were locked in a box. The escorts must have known about it."
When Hong Ling heard the news about her child, she could no longer sit still and took people to find Feng Ji. After all, only Feng Ji knew the whereabouts of these escorts.
Feng Ji saw someone coming again and couldn't help but frowning: "Hello, Madam Dong. What's the matter with you?"
Hong Ling frowned and said, "I came to inquire about the whereabouts of those escorts. The traffickers confessed that my son is in the hands of those escorts. I am going to arrest them and inquire about the whereabouts of my son."
Feng Ji immediately called the yamen runner who had just returned: "Take Madam Dong to find those escorts. Forget it, I will go with you."
Those escorts don't look to have an easy time either. Madam Dong is very willful and cruel. It's better to follow them and see for yourself.
The bailiff quickly led a group of people to the escorts' location. Cheng Yu had just settled the escorts down when he heard a commotion outside. After going out, he saw a group of soldiers surrounding the place where they lived.
Cheng Yu frowned and stepped forward to greet Feng Ji: "Master Feng, what do you mean?"
Feng Ji frowned. Before he could explain, he saw Hong Ling took out a portrait and asked, "Have you seen the child in this portrait?"
Cheng Yu looked at the child. Wasn't this Doudou? He was stunned for a moment: "Who are you to Doudou?"
Speaking of which, Cheng Yu took a closer look at the lady in front of him, and she seemed to be a little bit like Doudou. When Hongling heard Cheng Yu calling out Doudou's name directly, she became very excited.
"You know his name is Doudou. Where is he? I'm his mother. I've been looking for him. Where is he? Why aren't you together?"
Cheng Yu was completely stunned: "You are Doudou's mother, you are still in Yuancheng, if I had known you were still in Yuancheng, we wouldn't have had to make so much trouble."
Doudou and Chief Escort Hu, who had been watching secretly, heard that the escorts were surrounded and came to see what was going on. They happened to see the excited Hongling and were stunned: "Mom..."
Hongling was still asking about her son's whereabouts when she suddenly heard her son calling her. She turned her head and looked at Doudou. The next moment, she rushed towards Doudou and hugged him tightly in her arms: "Doudou, I almost thought I would never see you again in this life."
Dong Yuan looked at his mother crying so hard that he couldn't help but pat Hong Ling's back: "Mom, I'm fine."
Hongling was so distressed: "You have lost weight, but you are still okay. It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of you. It's all my fault."
The reunion of mother and son moved everyone around. Feng Ji wiped his tears and walked forward to say, "Madam Dong, don't cry. Look, the young master is back. Young master, do you know who kidnapped you?"
Dong Yuan said directly: "I know, the county magistrate's master, I saw him and heard his voice."
