C471 Unravel a Misunderstanding
"Don't listen to this Witch's nonsense, I, Hu San, am a slave trader, and these children are all slaves that I bought. All of you should know me! "
This slave trader was actually called Hu San. Hu San put on an innocent and innocent look. The commoners also knew Hu San. They believed that it wasn't strange for a slave trader like him to bring a carriage full of children.
"That's right, this Witch is really up to no good!"
"We can't just let it go like this today! How long will this Witch, with the grace of the Emperor, be able to harm the citizens of the capital? "
"Yes!" Today, the emperor had to give an explanation! "Deal with Witch!"
"That's right!" Return our peaceful days! "
When this person started to jeer, everyone followed and started to jeer. Luo Jianjian was shocked and wronged. The number of people watching increased. A lot of them did not know what was going on, so they started to heckle together.
The crowd grew closer and closer, as if they were trying to subdue Luo Jianjian. Luo Jianjian's usually fearless character couldn't help but feel fear at this moment.
Hu San also took the opportunity to break free from Luo Jianjian's restraints. Luo Jianjian wanted to chase after him, but he immediately hid among the jeering commoners.
"You all … You are unreasonable! He really is a trafficker! "
Luo Jianjian felt so wronged that she wanted to cry. The feeling of being misunderstood and not listening to any explanation was truly terrible. It wasn't that she couldn't defeat these people, but if she were to make a move, the situation would become even worse.
However, even if Luo Jianjian wanted to, she could not avoid it. No one would listen to her explanation. She could only watch helplessly as she was forced back. There was nowhere for her to run to.
At this critical moment, the city gate creaked open once again. Opening the city gates late at night temporarily attracted everyone's attention.
He saw a group of people riding in from outside the city gate. There were more than a hundred of them. They were none other than people from Association of 100 and Cloud Sect. Association of 100 wore a veil, and from afar, they could see Luo Jianjian being surrounded by people who had made things difficult for her, so they spurred their horses forward to chase away a portion of the people.
"It's Witch's accomplice!"
"Those people are Cloud Sect! I recognize you! "
"Sure enough, I already said that Cloud Sect and Association of 100 belong to the same group, and the same goes for this Witch's lackey!"
The citizens were still mistaken. Xiao Jing'er and Lin Mei jumped off their horses and rushed to Luo Jianjian's side.
"Boss, are you alright?"
Luo Jianjian calmed down a little. Seeing that Association of 100 and Qian Yun had come back, she was extremely surprised.
"Why are you guys …"
"Boss, we had already found the child we lost in our Capital City yesterday, but when we returned, we coincidentally met that slave trader, so we didn't go very far. I thought I would go into the city and capture him. I didn't expect to see you surrounded by these troublesome people the moment I entered. "
When Luo Jianjian heard Lin Mei's words, she heaved a sigh of relief. On the other side, a few people from Cloud Sect dragged the escaping slave trader back as well.
"Release me! Who are you people? Why don't you stop staring at me? "Save me, big guy save me! They want to kill me, they want to kill me!"
The slaver continued to shout with his fangs, and the people stirred.
Before the citizens could react, Xiao Jing'er led a large carriage at the back of the line over and pulled open the curtains. It was filled with children.
"Father!" "Mother!"
One of the children, seeing his parents in the crowd, wailed and jumped down from the carriage. Soon after, many of the parents who had lost their children also crowded forward to check, and all found their lost children.
Luo Jianjian looked at them. There were more than thirty of them.
"Hei Hei, isn't there only a total of twenty-three children on the list? How to... More than thirty? "
"Boss, do you know that the twenty-three children on this list were reported by their parents?" There were also a few that would look for him privately, but didn't report him, seeing that others weren't able to report it. But boss, you don't know, these children were all sent out in different directions, and it took quite a bit of effort to find them. "2
"Thank you for your hard work. You came back in time."
Luo Jianjian couldn't help but be alarmed when she thought of that imminent peril. If she was even a step too late, she would have really attacked these civilians. If that happened, the situation would become even worse.
"That's him! Father, mother, this is the man. When I woke up, he was vicious. They say they want to sell me, and if I cry, they'll beat me to death! "
"Right, right. It's this person. He sold me to such a faraway place!"
"It's him! Me and my brother were also taken away by him!"
The children began to identify Hu San, who was originally sharp-tongued but was now speechless.
"What about the remaining Heavenly Spirit Pills?"
"Yes, a lot!"
Xiao Jing'er and Lin Mei handed over the remaining Association of 100 pills to Luo Jianjian. Luo Jianjian used her blade to cut open the wooden cage and brought the children inside out, feeding the pills one by one.
The children slowly woke up and looked around in horror.
"Where is this place?" Father! "Mother!"
Some of the children began to cry, while others were stupefied and frightened out of their wits. Luo Jianjian asked about the origins of these children, but none of them were sold properly, they were all sold using the sleeping incense by Hu San.
"Traitor, I'll beat you to death!"
"Beat this peddler to death!"
The citizens' anger was instantly transferred to Hu San, and they all shouted that they wanted to beat him to death. Hu San hid behind the Association of 100 in fear, not daring to peek out.
When Luo Jianjian saw the people's anger rise, she immediately stretched out her hand to stop them.
"Calm down everyone!"
When Luo Jianjian spoke, everyone quieted down. After all, they had all misunderstood Luo Jianjian earlier, and now, with a guilty conscience, they appeared to be extremely obedient.
"This Hu San is indeed hateful, but we still need to save his life to investigate the other children that have been lost." Now that the truth has been revealed, I, Luo Jianjian, only have one request for everyone. "In order to avoid another tragedy of today, I would like to request everyone's support to abolish slavery!"
"Abolish slavery?"
The commoners looked at each other in dismay. Many of them were slave owners. If slavery were to be abolished, wouldn't that mean there was no source of livelihood?
"This kidnapping is trafficking, we are doing business, we are doing business," he said. Why should we abolish slavery? "
"Yeah, if we don't buy or sell slaves, what are we going to eat? We even have a lot of slaves that we didn't sell! "
"That's right!" One cannot abolish slavery! "
There were many voices of opposition within the crowd. Although those parents who had lost and regained their parents had expressed their support, they were unable to solve the problem.
"If I can think of a better way to replace slavery, would you be willing to cooperate?"
