Elder Li's eyes lit up when he saw Jin Yiwei, and he quickly ran to the leader Qian Du.

"My lord, my lord, they are the ones who ruined our business and injured our people. Look at my hands. They were injured by that stinky girl. You should quickly arrest her and sentence her to beheading in public, as a warning to others."

Ji Qianfu picked up his palm and looked at it: "It's really serious."

Elder Li endured the pain and said angrily: "Sir, they have done such evil, you must not let them go."

"Don't worry, I will handle this matter impartially."

Deputy Ji Qian put down his hand and looked at Elder Wu. Seeing that he was not an ordinary warrior, he smiled and patted his shoulder: "Master Wei and Master Pang miss you two very much, and they also asked you to come to the Captain's Mansion. Let’s drink tea. If you two are free today, why don’t you come with us later?”

"Invite us to have tea at the Captain's Mansion?" Elder Wu was surprised and confused at the same time.

Although they colluded with the Duwei Mansion, Mr. Wei and the others never invited them to have tea with the Duwei Mansion, and they didn't even want others to know that they were close.

Why would you invite them to tea today?

Elder Li said happily: "When I find a doctor to help me bandage my hand, I will go over to Mr. Wei and the others."

"But they want to see you now."

Ji Qian's smiling face suddenly turned cold, and he ordered to Jin Yiwei: "Come here, capture them."

"yes."

Four hundred households quickly stepped forward and held Elder Wu and Elder Li down.

The two elders were shocked.

Boss Jiang and the others were also dumbfounded by this reversal.

Elder Li said anxiously: "Sir, why do you want to capture us?"

Ji Qianfu sneered: "You not only kidnapped and trafficked people everywhere, but you also colluded with the government and bribed the imperial officials. Now you know why we want to arrest you?"

Elder Wu frowned: "Didn't you already know these things? You also accepted our money."

Elder Li said angrily: "You can't just kick us away after accepting our money."

"The people collecting your money are Mr. Wei and Mr. Pangda. They are already waiting for you in prison."

The two elders finally understood what was going on. The two adults who collected their money had been found guilty by superior officials, and the Jinyi guards in front of them were here to catch them.

Elder Wu and Elder Li looked at each other, then looked outside the door.

Elder Li knew that he meant to escape. He twisted his body to get rid of the Jin Yiwei behind him, but unexpectedly his body went limp and he knelt on the ground.

"You are despicable and drugged me."

Elder Wu, who was trying to escape with him, also found that he was suddenly weak, and all his internal strength was dissipated. He raised his head angrily and glared at Ji Qianfu: "It's you, you drugged us, right?"

Ji Qianfu took out the silk and wiped his palms: "The only way to deal with people who are stronger than yourself is to take them back and lock them up with Wei Dacong and the others to reminisce about the past."

"yes."

Four hundred households each took one of the two elders' arms and dragged them out like pigs to death.

Ji Qianfu quickly came to Kan Chaoyan: "Sir, are you okay?"

Kan Chaoyan smiled and said: "You came so timely, what can happen to me?"

"Are you a court official?" Old Yutou looked at Kan Chaoyan in disbelief: "It's over, it's over."

"Great, we are saved." The abducted girls happily held each other's hands.

Ji Qianfu looked at Mu Nanjin.

Mu Nanjin also looked at him, and then uttered two words from his mouth: "Despicable..."

Ji Qianfu and Kan Chaoyan: "..."

[This is a great move. If I can’t beat him in the future, I’ll still do it. 】

[But there is one problem that is difficult to solve, that is, I can't make people lower their guard like the other person smiling so amiably. 】

[It seems that having a cold face so that others cannot see your thoughts is not necessarily a good thing. 】

The royal guards: "..."

It's not a good thing to let others know all your thoughts, right?

[How about I learn to smile more? 】

Mu Nanjin tried to twitch the corner of his mouth.

Kan Chaoyan patted her shoulder helplessly: "Don't laugh, it looks like a cramp."

Mu Nanjin: "..."

【Huh! ? 】

[Comrade Lao Kan can actually see that I am smiling, so can I take the first step successfully? 】

Kan Chaoyan: "..."

Excuse me.

If I hadn't heard your inner voice, I wouldn't have seen you smiling.

[It’s just that what the hell does he mean by cramps? 】

Mu Nanjin touched the corner of his mouth.

Kan Chaoyan turned to Ji Qianhu and asked, "Where is Liu Baihu? Why didn't he come with you?"

Deputy Ji Qian said: "The governor took him and other Jinyi guards to suppress the Haixing Gang."

As soon as Boss Jiang heard that the Haixing Gang had been wiped out, he knew that he was completely finished.

His legs gave way and he fell to the ground.

Kan Chaoyan asked again: "Then how many people did you bring here?"

Deputy Ji Qian: "One hundred people."

"so little?"

Deputy Ji Qian glanced at Mu Nanjin, who was still touching the corner of his mouth: "The governor said that someone is here to take charge, and there is no need to bring so many people here."

Kan Chaoyan frowned: "But I also want to catch all the human traffickers outside."

"We shouldn't need to catch them. They will run away after seeing the two people being dragged out."

Sure enough, as Yoshiki said, the originally bustling streets became deserted, with only the people in prison cars remaining on the streets.

The rescued people knelt down and thanked them: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

The girls who were released before cried and said with red eyes: "Sir, we are not from Belvedere. We still hope that the adults can send us back to our homes."

Kan Chaoyan nodded and agreed: "We will send someone to take you back, but there is one thing that needs to be known to you in advance. You have been kidnapped for such a long time, and you will inevitably receive some criticism after you return. You must be prepared to bear these things. .”

The girls looked stunned.

Most of the girls looked scared.

Families who care about reputation may find someone to marry them off right away, which is not bad.

Some people may be beaten to death.

Mu Nanjin looked at the desperate faces and suddenly felt that it was not easy for women in ancient times to live.

"If you have nowhere to go, you can come back to the capital with me, or if you find there is no place for you after returning home, you can come to the capital to find me."

"Thank you, girl." Everyone thanked her quickly.

Kan Chaoyan quickly whispered in her ear: "You're not going to let them come to your brothel to make money for you, are you? Wouldn't that be like falling from one fire pit to another?"

Mu Nanjin glanced at him: "Am I such a person?"

Kan Chaoyan chuckled: "No. However, you are too kind."

"I just gave them a way to survive, and they have to live the rest of their lives on their own."

Mu Nanjin was just helping them, but he would not support them for the rest of their lives like the Holy Mother. Moreover, for the monks, saving their lives would earn them a fortune, so she earned it anyway.

"Girl, I want to go back to the capital with you."

A woman wearing a light blue dress came out. She saluted Mu Nanjin calmly: "Girl, I beg you to take me to the capital."

Seeing that she was well dressed and elegant, Mu Nanjin asked, "What's your name?"

"Si Yuhuan,"

Mu Nanjin immediately understood her situation.

Si Yuhuan was originally the concubine of the richest family in Yancheng. Because she was not taken seriously by her family, she was given to the local magistrate as a concubine. Unwilling to have her fate dictated by others, she secretly escaped and unexpectedly encountered a human trafficker.

"Okay, you will come back to Beijing with us in a few days."

Then, eight girls came out one after another and asked to go back to Beijing with Mu Nanjin, and Mu Nanjin agreed one by one.

For the rest of the people who wanted to go home to see their families, Kan Chaoyan made arrangements for them.

The Governor and the others stayed in Belvedere for seven days, mainly to hunt down the Starfish Gang members and human traffickers. After handling these matters, they escorted Mr. Wei and the others back to Beijing.

The return trip took longer than the trip. It took them ten days to return to the capital.

The girls who came back with them were all excited to see the bustling capital. Only Si Yuhuan sat quietly and looked out the window at the crowds and shops. It wasn't until they passed by the Imperial Academy and saw the ladies after school that her eyes Brilliance.

She quickly sat down by the window and looked at the ladies from each family with envy.

The girls around her said with envy: "The girls in the capital are so elegantly dressed."

"The place we just passed by should be the Imperial College. It is a place that all students long for."

"I have long heard that the emperor opened a school for girls and also allowed girls to take scientific examinations. I didn't expect this to be true."

"It would be great if I could become an official in the imperial court, and I would no longer be looked down upon by the world."

"Well, that's all I can think about. I can't read a single word, and I have to rely on Miss Mu for financial support. It's good to have two meals for food and clothing."

Others thought so too.

Si Yuhuan stared out the window without saying a word. When she arrived at Mu Mansion, she stopped Mu Nanjin and said, "Miss Mu."

Mu Nanjin looked back at her: "Is something wrong?"

Si Yuhuan looked embarrassed.

"Might as well just say it."

Si Yuhuan hesitated and said, "I want to borrow some money from the girl to do business."

The other girls looked at her in surprise.

"Miss Si wants to start her own business?"

"Isn't it easy for a woman to do business?"

"Girls are easily looked down upon outside."

Si Yuhuan pinched her dress nervously, fearing that Mu Nanjin would not like her like other girls.

Mu Nanjin ignored what others said and asked: "You just came to Beijing to borrow money from me. Does that mean you already have an idea? Tell me what kind of business you want to do?"

Seeing that she had no objection, Si Yuhuan quickly said: "I just passed by the Imperial Academy and saw a teahouse opened opposite for literary friends, but only men can enter, so I also want to open a teahouse for both men and women. If you can come into my teahouse to enjoy tea and meet friends, I will definitely be able to attract a lot of customers with my tea art and pastry making skills, especially female guests, and I will definitely be able to attract many officials and wealthy ladies."

Not to mention Mu Nanjin, even the girls who came back with her thought her idea was a good one.

A girl named Lin Zishu said quickly: "Miss Si, if your teahouse opens, can I help you in your shop? I know some words and I should be able to help you."

The others hesitated and recommended themselves.

Si Yuhuan responded one by one, and then looked at Mu Nanjin.

Mu Nanjin also felt that what she said was feasible: "I'll be the one to open a teahouse. If you need money, ask Uncle Xu."

"Thank you, Miss Mu." Si Yuhuan did not expect that things would go so smoothly: "I will go to inquire about the market tomorrow and visit the bookstore to see if I can find some books to attract literary customers."

Lin Zishu said with a smile: "Miss Si is indeed the daughter of a wealthy businessman. She is extremely talented in doing business."

Si Yuhuan smiled slightly: "Thank you, Miss Lin. I've just been exposed to it since I was a child, and I can't learn three points on my own."

"Sister Si, what book are you looking for? I can read and I can help you find it."

The person who said this was the youngest girl in their group, named Xia Yan.

“Books that few people have read or that few people have are the most attractive. Unfortunately, these books are difficult to find.”

Xia Yan asked: "Sister Si is talking about an only copy."

"It would be great to have an orphan copy, but since it is an orphan copy, it is impossible to find it, because most of these orphan copies are in the hands of literati or officials, and it is difficult for ordinary people to obtain them."

"The only copy?"

Mu Nanjin muttered this word.

She remembered that the emperor loved to collect original copies.

But where is the original copy?

Imperial study room?

Well……

Look for it tonight.

After nightfall, a figure sneaked into the palace quietly.

The other party was extremely fast and arrived in the imperial study room in the blink of an eye.

She went straight to the books on the shelf.

[It’s an only copy——]

The commander of the Royal Forest Army who was patrolling outside suddenly stopped.

He seemed to hear Mu Nanjin's voice?

But didn’t she go to Belvedere?

came back?

The commander of the Royal Forest Army looked around.

The guard following him asked: "Commander Meng, did you find someone sneaking into the palace?"

Commander Meng shook his head: "It's okay."

If it's really Mu Nanjin, you can't catch anyone just by hearing the sound.

[Guben, where are you? 】

This time, Commander Meng finally heard clearly that it was really Mu Nanjin's voice.

Why is she in the palace?

Looking for an orphan copy?

[The original copy will come out soon. 】

In the imperial study room, Mu Nanjin searched for books in the dark. After searching, she discovered a serious problem.

[Damn it, I don’t even know which copies are unique. How can I find them? 】

[How about moving all the books away? 】

Mu Nanjin looked at the ten rows of books on the big bookshelf and felt a headache again.

[This is really a big project. 】

[There is no such big bag to carry them. 】

[It would be great if the Book Club would agree. Just ask and you will know which book is the only one. 】

[What should I do if I can’t find it? How about taking a few copies back with you? 】

[Well, let’s take a few books first, and then go to the emperor’s palace to have a look. Maybe the emperor will put a few unique copies on the bedside. 】

Mu Nanjin stuffed a few books into his arms and slipped out of the study room.

Commander Meng never heard her voice again and guessed that she had gone to the emperor's palace.

Then should he notify me?

But the emperor and the others could hear her thoughts, and even if he didn't say anything, someone would still be able to find her.

That's what she said, but the emperor was almost scared to death by her.

As soon as he closed his eyes, the emperor, who had not yet fallen asleep, heard Mu Nanjin's voice.

[Emperor, here I come. 】
