Early the next morning, He San and Fu Lingxue went to the administrative hall together.
The mayor and the magistrate have been waiting for a long time, holding a stack of documents in their hands.
"Master He San, we have checked the people on the list overnight, and there is only one person who can be contacted so far. Some of the others were bought by someone in the name of recruiting maids in the noble mansion, and some disappeared directly. "
He San couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "Buy it?"
"My lord, if you recruit a maid into the house and sign a contract, the girl's parents will get a sum of money, and there will be basically no chance to go home after that. Because she is looked down upon by others, it is also called selling a girl."
The education He San received made him fundamentally feel how barbaric and backward such things are, but at this time, there was nothing he could do.
Human trafficking is a felony under the laws of the Empire.However, it is legal for nobles to recruit servants and maids through contracts.
"Where is the remaining woman now?"
"It has been brought."
The mayor signaled to the sheriff to bring the man in.
This is a girl who looks fifteen or sixteen years old, with a good appearance.
The girl came to the reception room and looked at everyone nervously.
He San looked at each other and said straightforwardly, "What's your name?"
"Wu Yixin, my name is Wu Yixin."
"Did you encounter any strange things recently, for example, someone came to the door and said that they would recruit you to be a maid?"
"Yes...there was one who said he was the housekeeper of a great nobleman, and he wanted to recruit me as a personal maid, but my parents refused." She hurriedly continued: "My family is in good condition, I don't want to go."
"His family is a well-known wealthy businessman nearby, and he can be regarded as an offshoot of the Baron." The mayor added at the right time.
Wu Yixin nodded and agreed with the mayor.
"Okay, take her down first, and send someone to take her home later."
He San tapped the table with his fingers.
"What about other people's specific information?"
The mayor handed He San the document in his hand.
He looked through carefully and found that all the girls were under 20 years old, and the missing families were also well-off.
And it's not just from Donglin Town, but also from surrounding towns.
"You should continue doing what you want. Don't stop He Chengji's torture. Wu Yixin will send someone to send him back. There is no need to keep someone under surveillance."
"By the way, if the baron comes, you can just delay it for now."
After finishing speaking, He San and Fu Lingxue left the administrative hall and walked towards Qiandao Lake.
If He San was still in full power at this time, splitting a few clones by himself would be enough to monitor the entire Donglin Town. Unfortunately, he can't do anything now.
As for Fu Lingxue, although he is a big boss of the holy rank, He San is not even as good as an ordinary person now, and it is impossible for her to leave him.
As soon as the two arrived at Qiandao Lake, they saw a blue boat with two blue teenagers slowly coming towards them.
He San got straight to the point: "I've come to ask you for a favor."
He San told the two about He Chengji's occupation of Huang Xing's parents' house and the disappearance of the girl. He wanted to use the identity of the other party's Huling to monitor the entire Qiandao Lake to see if he could find any clues.
When Huang Xing heard that his parents were being bullied, he was instantly furious and panicked. Hearing that He San had resolved the matter, he quickly thanked him.
Han Lei thought for a while and said, "Speaking of this matter, I do have some clues. Recently, I have always seen some boats carrying local women ashore on the south side of Qiandao Lake and have never returned."
"Under normal circumstances, these girls have never traveled far. We didn't know the situation at the time, so we didn't pay much attention to it. Thinking about it now, it's very strange."
"By the way, another boat stopped in the waters near the town. Judging from the smell, it is the same group as before."
He San didn't expect that he directly got the key clue here.
This time, he did not startle the snake, but asked Han Lei and Huang Xing to closely monitor the movement of the ship.
Then, he and Fu Lingxue went to secretly observe Wu Yixin's situation.
……
Outside Donglin Town, a luxury convoy drove over.
After Gao Liang arrived at Donglin Town, he went directly to the administrative hall.
The mayor had never seen such a nobleman before, and when he thought about the token He San gave him, he suddenly understood.
As soon as Gao Liang arrived at the administrative hall, he heard about He San, but he was nowhere to be seen, so he sent someone to invite the local baron.
The mayor also took advantage of this time to tell Gao Liang what happened.
"What about He San? Where is he now?"
"Master He San has something to go out, and I don't know where he is now."
Hearing that the Honorary Marquis of East Lake has arrived in Donglin Town, Wu Dalang, Fei Le, Qiao Pengyi and Jia Hong hurriedly changed their clothes and rushed to the administrative hall.
The purpose of Gao Liang's trip was to prepare for the Lake Spirit Festival, and He San's matter was not mentioned.
Looking at the crowd waiting in front of him, Gao Liang asked, "Who is the Baron Wu Dalang of Donglin Town and the mayor Rui Heping?"
Wu Dalang took a step forward, followed by Rui Heping.
"Okay, the spirit of the lake has appeared in Qiandao Lake. You are all people of merit. The lake spirit ceremony will be held tomorrow. There are many people watching the ceremony. You two need to manage it well and prepare as soon as possible."
"Others should have come here after hearing the news. I can only say that this festival is unusual and very important. In addition, I will give you another news. After the Lake Spirit Festival, there will be a grand event. When the time comes , all the nobles who can be called by name will come."
Gao Liang did not disclose any specific information. This news will be announced after the Lake Spirit Festival is over, and it is just in the making.
The entire Donglin Town suddenly became busy.
After arriving from Gaoliang, more nobles came from all directions, and soon, the post house in Donglin Town was full.
Except for those great nobles who had already reserved their residences before they arrived, the latecomers began to rent courtyards from the commoners in Donglin Town.
It wasn't until there were no more courtyards to rent in Donglin Town that everyone was at a loss.
Could it be that you want to make yourself a nobleman and sleep on the streets?
In the afternoon, many nobles gathered in the administrative hall, waiting for the news of the residence.
He San and her husband Lingxue returned, looking at the overcrowded administrative hall, they couldn't help but be amazed.
It was hard to find the mayor.
"How is this going?"
"My lord, you can be considered to be back. This afternoon, batch after batch of noble lords came. All the posthouses are full, and the courtyards that can be rented out have also been rented out. The rest of these, I am thinking about the Where are you staying?"
Looking at these people, He San suddenly understood that Donglin Town was just a small town before.
The East Lake collar is so big, and the nobles will bring some servants and maidservants with them when they go out, and the number of them suddenly increases.
At this moment, Fu Lingxue sensed a strong wave of magic power.
On the outskirts of Donglin Town, a golden light door opened, and nearly a hundred people appeared one after another.
Most of them are children in their teens, wearing uniforms with a yellow Maple Leaf badge on their chests.
The leader is a man and a woman. The man looks to be in his 20s, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and his long golden hair is particularly eye-catching.
The woman looked to be in her early 20s, with outstanding demeanor and long aqua blue hair, which was extremely rare.
The mayor and the magistrate have been waiting for a long time, holding a stack of documents in their hands.
"Master He San, we have checked the people on the list overnight, and there is only one person who can be contacted so far. Some of the others were bought by someone in the name of recruiting maids in the noble mansion, and some disappeared directly. "
