Going through the Red Mansions quickly means going against the system.

Xichun couldn't help but look behind her at the person she was following, hoping that someone more sensible would come and kidnap her too.

But they were running too fast just now, and no one would catch up for a while. In desperation, Xichun could only continue to chase Roufu in the direction where she disappeared, hesitating as he walked, showing that he was like a blind cat meeting a dead mouse before pursuing the right place.

But there is obviously something fishy everywhere in this matter. If this group of people is really targeting Roufu's people, how did they deal with the princess's secret guards?

If it weren't for Jade Girl Ghost, she would definitely not be able to get rid of this group of people, but after she got rid of them, this "male princess" suddenly lost her temper.

Xichun suddenly understood that this trap was mainly aimed at her. The scheming person would definitely not ask the real princess to take risks, and she had only been with the princess for two or three months.

Xichun ran forward two more steps before someone suddenly covered her face and grabbed her. The veil covering her face had a scent, and Xichun fell down.

"Fortunately, she came after her, otherwise... this kid was too alert and almost made us miss."

"Owner of the trading house, can you not be alert? Hurry! Everyone is already waiting. Send the express over."

"Isn't it confirmed yet?"

"Master has already guessed it, what could go wrong?"

When Xichun heard this, he was sure of everything. Her caravan had made a fortune in recent years, but Jia Zhen even told Dai Quan.

As a helper in collecting money for the Supreme Emperor, how could Dai Quan not remember this?

But there is something about Princess Roufu involved. No matter how powerful Dai Quan is, he can't get the princess's card.

When Xichun was sent to the place, someone woke her up. Xichun saw that there were seven or eight children in this place, and it looked like a trafficker's den.

"Don't sleep! We'll share the food later. If you can't grab it, you'll be hungry."

The little boy who woke up Xichun was very enthusiastic and stayed with her after pushing her to wake up.

Xichun took a general look around, but there was no sign of Roufu's substitute. There were five boys and three girls in the room, each forming a small camp.

The appearance of several people is very delicate. Although they look fat and thin, they all look depressed now.

Xichun looked at the person who woke him up. He had the best appearance among them, and at a quick glance, he looked a bit like a precious jade.

Xichun couldn't help but feel a little fond of him because of this.

"Where is this? Why are we here?" Xichun pretended to be dizzy and moved his hands and feet to get out. But he was grabbed by the opponent in an instant.

"You came here because you met a trafficker. I don't know. As long as you behave and don't make trouble, the traffickers here won't beat you."

The little boy next to Xichun replied enthusiastically. Seeing that she was really not making trouble, he continued: "I think you are dressed like a servant? Why didn't you follow your master? Did you sneak out? "

"No, I came out with the master. Have you seen him?"

Xichun then pretended to remember something and asked anxiously if Roufu was here.

"He is a young man who is similar to me...a young man. He is wearing a blue scholar's uniform. He is about seven or eight years old. He has a round face and slender eyes. Have you seen such a person?"

"Has your master also been kidnapped? Whose young master is he? If he is rich and powerful, he may be in another house."

The little boy acted like a trustee and gave an overview of the situation here. Seeing that he knew a lot, Xichun led him to talk more, and secretly sent the jade girl ghost around him to find out the news.

Sure enough, the Jade Girl Ghosts found Princess Roufu in the next room. Xichun breathed a sigh of relief, at least they were not separated.

But the person who captured them did not immediately arrest her for interrogation. Instead, they asked her to stay in this house for a whole day. Now that the sun had gone down, a strong man came over to deliver dinner.

Xichun didn't have time to wait here forever, so her expression was a little anxious. Even though the little boy leaning on her tried to comfort her, she was still nervous and anxious.

Xichun suddenly thought that if Princess Roufu used a substitute, they would definitely not make it look like the princess was missing. If no one comes to her in time, she will find an opportunity to escape.

Xichun had never thought of running away in order to appear weak.

And now everything about the princess is her guess. If she guesses wrong, it means she wrote the answer wrong.

What if today's incident was just a test of her loyalty? Because her caravan was worth nothing to the royal family.

Moreover, Princess Roufu's matter was too suspicious. If she hadn't happened to fall on top of him, she would never have noticed whether he was genuine or not.

The royal family has indeed had a substitute since ancient times. Some look similar, and some sound similar.

Because she knew that the concubines in the palace would not dare to deceive the Supreme Emperor, she guessed that the princess who disappeared with her was a stand-in.

Because there was a saying before that the original owner was almost replaced because a substitute looked too much like the original person.

Today's substitutes will not be 100% similar to the real owner, so it is very possible to replace the princess with a boy.

Xichun saw that Roufu in the room next door had always been calm. Although he ate less because he wanted to create a scene of distress, there was no sign of anxiety in his every move.

Thinking about the guilty conscience shown by Roufu when she touched his body, she knew that he was actually an insider.

Since she was going to try to escape, Xichun inquired about the children in a room.

Different from Xichun and others, this group of people were all born into ordinary families. Some were lost when they first entered the city, and some were children of poor families in the capital.

The best one with Xichun is called Xiaozhuzi, and they have been here for five or six days, and no one has found it before.

After finishing the meal, another tall and strong man entered Xichun's room. But this time it was no longer an ordinary meal delivery, but came to take away three girls.

"What are you doing? I, I won't go!"

"I won't go out either!"

The little girls struggled and were slapped by the strong man. Then a thinner man came over and said:

"You have to sell her for money, and you still beat her. How can you sell her for money after her appearance is ruined? The shopkeepers of Mingchuan Trading Company have come to collect her."

Xichun's mind moved, and she raised her eyes to look at the person behind her. He just happened to look over, and he looked right at him for a moment.

"Why do you want to go too? That Mingchuan Trading Firm only accepts women."

Xichun had indeed used a trading company to rescue abducted girls. Since boys are more valuable, they are easier to sell at higher prices. And if girls want to sell them at a high price, they have to sell them to unclean places.

Xichun now has a factory specializing in cloth production in Jiangnan, so there are many female workers in need. Most of the girls she rescued here were sent there if they couldn't find a home.

Therefore, it is indeed normal for her trading company to have a relationship with these human traffickers.

But if they were really hers, this would be an opportunity for this group of people to send them on their escape.
