Li Baolu looked at the girl, and saw that her clothes were torn, with patches piled on them, and her face was a little dirty, but she could still see that her complexion was fair and ruddy. Looking at her pale fingers, Li Baolu reached out and held her hand, You can tell that she is from a wealthy family and can read.

Seeing panic flashing in her eyes, Li Baolu asked in a soft voice, "Do you remember your name, where you live, and the names of your parents? Let me send you home, okay?"

The little girl kept her mouth shut and followed closely behind Qu Weizhen.

Li Baolu didn't force her, and said to Qu Weizhen, "Take her to freshen up and eat something first. It's getting dark now, so I can't rush to find her parents."

Qu Weizhen agreed, took the little girl and went to the backyard, Qu Jingxi also bowed and left.

Li Baolu turned around and asked Erlin when they were far away, "What's the matter with this little girl?"

Erlin bowed and replied: "Mrs. Hui, we ran into this little girl not long after we set off from Baoding this morning. She ran out of the roadside and almost hit our carriage. She didn't stop, she got up and went Running, as if someone was chasing her from behind. Seeing that she was not like an ordinary girl, the younger one paid more attention."

Erlin paused and said, "Miss Qu and Master Qu must have noticed the difference, so they let the little girl get in the car and leave with us."

Li Baolu looked at the two bodyguards standing aside, "Who do the two bodyguards think she is hiding from? Bandits, human traffickers, or someone else?"

The two bodyguards looked at each other, they didn't want to cause trouble, but they vaguely knew Li Baolu's identity, so they were silent for a while and said: "It's a trafficker."

"I don't know if the two of you are willing to help. Since it is a human trafficker who abducts people, it is impossible to abduct only one person. I will report to the officials now, but the officials have official skills, and they are not as fast as you."

Even in the past life when the Internet was developed, it was very difficult to catch human traffickers, let alone in this era when one goes out of the city like a fish entering the sea, the longer the time drags on, the harder it is to catch people.

And no one knows how many children are still in the hands of those traffickers.

The two bodyguards were a little hesitant. Human traffickers are generally vicious and have connections with each other. If they can't catch them all, one or two will be found, and they will take revenge...

They are bodyguards, they only take business on the road, at most they will kill their own lives, and they will not involve their families, but it is different if they involve human traffickers. Those people are like tarsus poison. Get rid of it all at once, or you won't be able to get rid of it.

Li Baolu seemed to understand their concerns, and said: "Don't worry, you two, you don't need to appear in front of people, I just hope that you can provide some information to the officials. We will keep your information confidential. After this incident, I will thank you no matter what happens or fails. .”

The two looked at each other, thinking that Li Baolu has always been generous in his actions, they nodded cruelly and said: "Okay, we will do it, but Mrs. Gu must keep our information secret."

Li Baolu nodded, "Don't worry, both of you."

Li Baolu immediately turned around and took a Gu Jingyun's name card to Erlin, saying: "Give the name card to Fu Yin, and some officials will accompany you to Baoding."

Knowing that they had just come back and had to leave again, Dongfeng immediately went to the kitchen, and packed a lot of hot food for them when he came out again.

The two bodyguards gratefully accepted it, got into the carriage with Erlin and left. They are bodyguards, and they must protect the safety of the bodyguards on the road.

Qu Weizhen and Qu Jingxi were their bodyguards. They picked up a little girl from the side of the road, and the little girl had a problem at first glance, so they couldn't be careless.

After seeing the little girl's dress, words and deeds, the two had already guessed that she had escaped from the traffickers.

The two of them did not dare to relax, they stared closely at the surroundings, more or less collected some information, and added some speculations. Although they couldn't find the traffickers immediately, they could still track them down.

The premise is that those people don't leave Baoding City.

Otherwise, once they leave the city, there are countless roads outside, who knows where they are going?

It will be difficult to track them down.

But no matter how difficult it is, they have to do it. If they do well, they may be able to build a new house when they go back home this time.

Li Baolu turned around and went to the backyard. Qu Weizhen had already taken the little girl to clean up, and was holding a piece of snack, when she saw Li Baolu coming in, she dropped the snack and got up.

Li Baolu looked at her for a moment, then asked, "Would you like to tell me your name and home address now?"

The little girl bowed her head and said nothing.

Qu Weizhen took her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, the teacher is not a bad person, you just need to tell her, and she can help you go home."

The little girl still bowed her head.

Li Baolu frowned, and said irritably, "If you are dumb, you can write it down."

She looked at her sharply and said: "I don't know your identity, but I also know that you came from a wealthy family. Did you fall into this situation because of a human trafficker?"

The little girl's hands tightened slightly, and Li Baolu saw her pupils shrink, and knew that they had guessed right. Her face became more and more condensed, "I know what you are worried about, I have no interest in destroying your reputation, but I want to know how many children are still in the hands of the traffickers, how many of them are there, and where did you end up before? How did you escape... You are young, delicate and frail but you can escape, I don't think it is only by your strength? Are those children who helped you still waiting for you to go back and save them?"

"The longer time passes, the more dangerous they will be. Little girl, I just want to find those children now. Afterwards, I can send you home quietly, as if you have nothing to do with this matter."

The little girl raised her head, her eyes were slightly red, she clutched the corner of her clothes tightly and asked, "Is what you said true?"

Li Baolu tried her best to squeeze out a trace of tenderness, nodded and said, "It's true."

The little girl breathed a sigh of relief, and said with tears: "I, my surname is Xie, and I am a side branch of the Xie family. I am the first in the family. My wife can call me Xie Yi. Three days ago, I went to the temple fair with my family, but I was bullied by someone. After we separated, I was stunned in such a blink of an eye, and when I woke up again, I was in a small room with a dozen or so children..."

"How many are ten?"

The little girl lowered her head and said: "I didn't pay attention at the time, and some of them are too young, about thirteen or fourteen."

"How did you escape?"

The little girl tugged at the corner of her clothes nervously and said, "The next day we were stuffed into a big carriage and left the city. I overheard them talking and knew that we were in Baoding. They would stay here for two days to pick up people and then go to Tianjin. , left by boat from Tianjin. I knew that once I got on the boat, it would be difficult for me to escape, and many people among them thought the same as me. So we agreed to find a way to escape before they set off."

The little girl lowered her head and cried: "It was early in the morning when I escaped, and I didn't dare to stay. I ran out of the city gate. Fortunately, I met Sister Qu, otherwise I would have been arrested again."

The little girl lowered her head and sobbed, "It's not that I don't trust my wife, it's me. I'm really scared."

Li Baolu didn't answer her, and continued to ask: "How many traffickers are there?"

The little girl paused, then bowed her head and said, "I saw four of them."

"Since you can leave the city, you must know where you were imprisoned, right?"

The little girl was silent for a while with a pale face. Seeing Li Baolu looking at her with piercing eyes, she could only nod her head and said, "I asked for directions, and it was in an alley called Fulu Lane."

Li Baolu nodded slightly, and said to Qu Weizhen: "Treat Miss Xie well, Miss Xie write down your home address, I will send someone to deliver a letter to Zunfu immediately, I believe your family will come to pick you up soon."

The little girl breathed a sigh of relief, bowed her knees and thanked Li Baolu.

Li Baolu turned around and left.

The little girl looked up at Qu Weizhen and said timidly, "Sister Qu, I have caused you trouble."

The smile on Qu Weizhen's face faded a lot, and she was no longer close to her before, but she still smiled and comforted her: "Sister Xie, don't worry, the teacher will come forward, your family will come to pick you up soon."

The little girl noticed Qu Weizhen's change, and forced a smile, "I really want to thank Sister Qu and his wife, by the way, I came in in a hurry just now, and I haven't asked my wife's name, afterward, I will definitely ask my mother to come to thank you with a generous gift .”

"My teacher's surname is Li," Qu Weizhen was very frank compared to her conceit, "Mr.'s surname is Gu."

When the little girl met Qu Weizhen's star-like eyes, she turned her head slightly uncomfortably and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Gu."

Qu Weizhen twitched the corners of her mouth, got up and said, "You must be exhausted just after you came out of the tiger's den, why don't you rest first, I won't bother you."

The little girl got up to send Qu Weizhen out, only to wake up when she turned around, the host in Lingsheng Street was named Gu, the hostess was named Li, and that was the only family that had two apprentices named Qu, and the lady just now was so confident It seems that she can intervene in the case of human traffickers if she wants to.

The little girl's face turned pale, thinking of Li Baolu's reaction just now, she knew that she had read her mind, that's why she spoke so harshly.

And Qu Weizhen's attitude has changed too much before and after, I'm afraid...

She clutched her chest and staggered for two steps, her face was pale and colorless, she was almost crying out of fear.

Li Baolu didn't have the time to take care of her mood, so after asking about the specific situation, she left the house and went to the main street.

She wants to ask the people from Anbu for help, and no one can compare to them in terms of finding people.

She hates traffickers the most in her life, but she cares more about the children who are still in the hands of traffickers than arresting traffickers.

Xie Yi escaped, and he didn't know if they would be angered or if they were still alive.

More than four hours have passed, if they don't know that Xie Yi has entered Beijing, it's fine, once they know...

Li Baolu could hardly imagine the consequences, and that's why she was very annoyed at Xie Yi who was procrastinating, squirming, and only caring about herself.
