Lou Rongrong's expression was serious, and he did not receive his compliments:

"It's the government, it's Daqing, it's all the soldiers, all the soldiers, it's not me, a little boy, who came to save everyone."

This man knows people well, and he believes in his heart that she must be responsible for this matter, but seeing her firm attitude, he doesn't open his mouth to disobey her, just watching her look at the [-]-[-]% empty cage Worried, he opened his mouth and said:

"Don't blame me, little guests. Most of us who are obedient have relatives and friends at home, and we still have some thoughts in our hearts, looking forward to reuniting with relatives and friends. I have no relatives and no one to rely on, so I have to risk my life, or the whole family will be killed and sold by the piggy boat killed today..."

"They are suffering in their hearts! Anyone, because this kind of beast falls to the point where we are not human, and ghosts can't be ghosts, will go crazy. Please forgive me, little guest..."

Lin Yue, who had been on the piggy boat for a while, was obviously aware of this matter, her eyes were full of sadness when she heard the words, she nodded to Lou Rongrong, and agreed with the man's statement.

Officers and soldiers are also human beings. After learning about the sufferings of these people, it is difficult not to feel sympathy, but it is okay to vent their anger appropriately. The officers and soldiers couldn't be intimidated for a while.

But no matter what, these people can no longer be placed here. General Xiaobai led his soldiers and led these freed slaves to move out, while trying to appease the other slaves who burned, killed, looted and lost their minds on the upper floors.

However, before the people in the bottom cabin got out halfway, someone suddenly shouted in panic:

"The water is gone! The water is gone!"

Maybe some thieves wanted to take advantage of the fire to escape, and set the fire on purpose, or maybe it was a slave who hated the ship and wanted to burn this sad place, or maybe the kitchen was left unattended, and the kindling accidentally fell out. stove.

In short, the fire broke out quickly and violently. For a while, the already chaotic cabin was even more difficult to control. The bottom cabin was fine, but the fire started from the upper level, and it couldn't burn in the bottom cabin for a while. Should be able to escape before the fire spread to the bottom cabin.

But firstly, there were unrescued slaves in the upper floors, and secondly, Lou Rongrong didn't intend to give up those people temporarily blinded by hatred.

In order to free up more manpower to help, Lou Rongrong and Lin Yue went on the deck to help guide the escaped slaves. Before, the officers and soldiers would distinguish whether they were slaves pretending to be slaves that were devoid of conscience. There is no time to inspect, so we can only take everyone off the ship first, then gather in one place to take care of them, and then distinguish them later.

Seeing that people had almost escaped, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and half of the sky had already been burned red, and burning wooden planks and long beams kept falling down.

At this moment, Lou Rongrong had sharp eyes and saw a figure on the side deck of the ship not far away. His heart tightened, and he hurriedly approached a few steps, yelling loudly for the other party to get off the ship quickly.

The man seemed to have heard Lou Rongrong's call, and turned around subconsciously. The moment he saw Lou Rongrong, a figure suddenly fell from above his head, his legs were tightly twisted around his neck, and the air was lightly borrowed. After turning around for a while, the face looking at Lou Rongrong was suddenly twisted in the opposite direction.

Amidst the crackling sound of burning flames, the falling figure turned around, and it turned out to be the beautiful young man she had once thrust the dagger into.

The moment the boy saw Lou Rongrong, he subconsciously froze, and instinctively took a step forward to explain.

However just now that man was about to talk to Lou Rongrong, his head was twisted away by the boy without moving his body. This scene was really too frightening. Seeing him approaching, Lou Rongrong subconsciously took a step back.

This step made the young man silently swallow back the "he's not a good person" that he was about to say, his eyes dimmed, he turned around and wanted to leave.

However, at this time, Lou Rongrong reacted, and hurriedly shouted to the boy:

"Where are you going?! The boat is going to burn! Come here! It's too late if you don't get off the boat!"

The people under the boat yelled Lou Rongrong to get off the boat, but the boy stayed where he was, as if hesitating whether to go with her or not.

Lou Rongrong panicked, looked up at the fire above her head, gritted her teeth and rushed over, grabbed the young man's hand and ran down the boat. When she got off the boat, the entire pavilion on the boat collapsed, and the fire spread to the deck. , the whole ship is slowly tilting.

Lou Rongrong took the young man back to save his life, and rebuked him bitterly:

"What's so cool about standing next to the fire? Do you think you're a hero in a storybook? How many lives are enough for you to be so rambunctious?"

The young man was taken aback by her education, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer. He just stood there like an idiot and let her teach him. There was no trace of ferocity in his blue-black eyes, and he was full of incomprehension. At a loss.

Lou Rongrong talked for a long time, but the boy didn't reply a word. Gradually, she also felt that something was wrong. She stopped, looked at the boy, and said suspiciously:

"You're not dumb, are you?"

The boy hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Of course he is not dumb, but his identity is sensitive, and his speech may be found out by accident. It is better to say that he is dumb to be sure. Besides, after he was captured on this ship, he did not talk to other captured slaves. However, the last person who saw him speak was also hanged by him on the boat just now.

It is reasonable and smooth for him to pretend to be dumb now.

But when Lou Rongrong heard that he was dumb, he felt somewhat guilty, and told General Xiaobai that he was seriously injured and unable to speak, so he must send a patient doctor to see him.

Many wounded slaves were sent to be treated. So many patients in need of treatment almost filled up the medical center in the city. bamboo shed.

When they were on the Piggy Ship, these slaves were not treated like human beings. Dozens of them crowded into a big cage, and they almost slept with their backs to their backs barely resting at night. Now they are scattered and they have to be like human beings. In life, the restaurants and guest houses in the city are inevitably full.

For these slaves, being rescued was not the end of everything, but the beginning of everything.

In order to send these slaves back to their relatives and friends, it is necessary to find out their identities, where they came from, and the reasons why they were trafficked here.

Almost all these slaves came from all over the place, the near ones were from Huainan Jiangnan area, and the far ones even came here from various places in the northern part of the country and the southwestern part.

Among them are ordinary people, children who are ignorant of the world, kabuki and dancers who are originally from humble backgrounds, and even wealthy businessmen or talented students who are studying. Really, anyone can be abducted to come here. The methods of abduction are also varied and unpredictable.

But no matter where these people came from, and how they were kidnapped here, the only certainty is that their original lives have been completely changed from the moment they were kidnapped here.

In addition to the other people on the intercepted transport ship, the number of investigations that need to be checked is really appalling. To send so many people back to their relatives, it is really not enough for Ren Heng and Fei Fusu to stay in Huai'an for a few more days. The matter that is resolved can only be handed over to the local government for disposal.

However, in order to prevent the local government from bending the law for personal gain like King Duan, Ren Heng simply wrote a letter to the emperor, intending to take the captured ship owner back to Beijing as evidence of King Duan's crime.
