The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

The woman rushed to Tang Zhongbai and cried, "Sir, the evil things we did have nothing to do with them. You can't do that!"

Tang Zhongbai took a few steps back and frowned. "Of course I won't do anything to them. If I spread this news, guess what the families who lost their children will do...?"

He stared at the two of them intently, trying to extract useful information from the changes in their expressions.

The two of them looked at each other, as if they were confirming something with each other.

Wei Dong swung the whip in his hand vigorously and shouted, "Speak."

The young man fainted out of fright, and everyone smelled a foul odor and covered their noses.

Wei Dong kicked him and cursed, "You are useless. My dungeon is warm in winter and cool in summer. It's such a good place for you to live in. It's really troublesome to change your clothes every day."

The other two shuddered all over and fell to the ground again, begging for mercy. "It's not that we don't want to tell you. If we tell you, we will die, and our families will die too."

"Don't worry, your family is safe now. As long as you can tell the truth, I promise to find another place for your family to live in peace for the rest of their lives. But..." Tang Zhongbai frowned and said, "If you are stubborn, I will not let your family go. Think about it carefully. In other words, you should continue to protect your master."

The servant brought a few chairs, and Weidong and his companions sat down to listen to their confessions.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you." The woman raised her head, her face showing a determination to fight to the end. "We were recruited into the mansion by Dalang of the Wei family with high wages ten years ago. At first, we just wanted to work hard in the Wei family to support our family. Later, Dalang found us and said there was a job that could make more money, and asked if we were willing to do it."

"We all came from poor backgrounds and were really scared of poverty. When we heard there was a way to make money, we readily agreed. It wasn't until he had someone take us to a room and we saw a dozen boys and girls in the room that we understood. He wanted us to take these children on a boat and send them to various places. There were special people to meet them at each pier or ferry."

"By the time we regretted it, it was too late. Dalang threatened us that if we didn't do it, he would not let our families go."

"My Lords, we really can't do that. We two are really just transporting, we really don't know anything else."

The woman kowtowed repeatedly, looking very pious. It seemed that this time, she was telling the truth. The places she had given before were all half true and half false.

Wei Dong looked at Xu Da and Tang Zhongbai and asked, "What do you think?"

The two looked at each other and said, "It seems that what she said is true. However, this will make things even more troublesome."

Wei Dong sighed and said, "Yeah, we only know the location, but not who the contact person is. Now that nothing has been done, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult."

No one spoke in the dungeon for a moment, and it suddenly became quiet.

Now the matter has come to a dead end. Except Wei Yuean, no one knows the whereabouts of these abducted people.

But now there is only the confession of these three people, and he cannot be convicted.

If we can't move him, there's no solution to this situation.

"Brother, I have an idea." Jiang Muxia's eyes were firm. "Businessmen all have the habit of keeping accounts. Will Wei Yuean write down the number of people and their destinations every time he abducts and sells them?"

If we can find the account book he kept, we can follow the clues to find the contact person. Then, the whereabouts of the abducted person will be easy to find.

"That's right. You'll have to ask Wei Liulang about that."

"It's useless. I've already looked in his study. I've found every dark room and cabinet, but there's no account book." Wei Dong's words shattered her last bit of hope.

"Just because he hasn't been found doesn't mean there's no record of him." Xu Da said, "Maybe he hid somewhere secret?"

Everyone pondered over it, but even so, the chances of finding the account book were slim.

"Let's go." Xu Da said, "We can't get anything out of them.

Several people walked out of the dungeon. Having gained nothing tonight, Jiang Muxia was in a low mood.

"Don't give up, I still have a low card. Leave the account book matter to me. Even if we don't care, we can still find the ferry terminal from the clues they provide. There are all kinds of people there, it is impossible that no one knows the person who takes over." Wei Dong said.

Jiang Muxia was grateful. These things had nothing to do with them. They only got involved in them to help her.

She bowed deeply to the three of them, "Thank you so much for your help. I really can't repay you."

"Miss Jiang is wrong. If you hadn't discovered these kidnappers, I wouldn't have known that our Wei family was the culprit. For the sake of the Wei family, I can't just sit there and do nothing. The Wei family can't be destroyed by the eldest brother."

"Brother Wei is right. As the county's criminal judge, this is what I should do. You don't have to feel burdened." Tang Zhongbai looked at her with a smile.

"As for me, I am your sworn brother. Why shouldn't I help my sister?"

Jiang Muxia nodded firmly, "I understand, let's face it together."

Leaving the county, everyone went their separate ways.

Tang Zhongbai got off the carriage in the south of the city. As the carriage moved forward, Jiang Muxia lifted the curtain on the window and vaguely saw him walking towards a ragged little beggar who was squatting on the ground at the corner of the street.

The carriage picked up speed and she could no longer see him.

She was full of doubts. Why would there be a little beggar squatting on the street in the middle of the winter night?

When they got home, Aunt Jun was already awake and was sitting on the bed chatting with Lu Chao.

"Mu Xia is back. Did Auntie scare you today?" Auntie Jun asked with a smile on her face.

"She won't. She's very brave now." Lu Chaoyun teased her daughter with a smile.

"Aunt Jun, how do you feel now?" Jiang Muxia sat down beside her, took her hand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I just met the county magistrate, he said the county is looking for her, and Sister Hongxin will come back sooner or later. You have to take care of yourself, otherwise, when she comes back and sees you sick like this because of her, she will be very sad."

Aunt Jun's eyes were confused. She knew that these words were meant to comfort her, so she forced a smile. "I hope so. She has been smart and clever since she was a child. I hope she can live. With her personality, she can live a good life if she is alive. What I can't get over is that she didn't want to go that day, and I forced her to go. Do you think I lost her?"

"Auntie, you didn't do it on purpose. If you want to blame someone, blame those damn kidnappers. It has nothing to do with you."

Aunt Jun took all the responsibility on herself and felt guilty every day. Over time, she became ill.

"Look at me..." She wiped away her tears, "I'm causing trouble for others. What are you going to do if I live here?"

Jiang Muxia hugged her arm and said with a smile: "Isn't there another bed here? My bed is big, and it can accommodate a few more people. I will sleep in the same bed with you tonight, please don't despise me!"

Everyone in the room burst into laughter, and then there was a knock on the door outside.

Jiang Yuzhou asked from outside: "Have you seen Ji Yi? It's so late, why hasn't he come back yet?"
