Mom takes her baby to travel through ancient times? Farming and business are both important

Chapter 224 Catching Street Vendors

"Where are the clues? I went to buy a roasted sweet potato, and then it disappeared in the blink of an eye."

Whenever Bai Zhizhi recalled that scene, she felt heartbroken.

She began to blame herself, wondering why she had to care about those few copper coins at that time and why she couldn't go with Ruibao.

If she had taken Ruibao with her, the child would definitely not have been lost.

"Don't worry, since it disappeared when I bought the roasted sweet potatoes, it must be related to the roasted sweet potato seller. Let's go over and take a look."

Deng Wenxing comforted her dryly, unable to come up with any nice words.

Bai Zhizhi shook her head. "I've already asked, but the guy selling roasted sweet potatoes said he knows nothing. I don't even know where he's gone."

How could she not ask the vendor selling roasted sweet potatoes, but she didn't get any clues at all.

"You're just too anxious. The person running away is the biggest clue. Maybe it's related to him."

After being reminded by Deng Wenxing, Bai Zhizhi also remembered it.

When she went to ask the sweet potato vendor something, the man seemed very anxious and was busy packing up his things.

Especially when the man was selling things, he was playing various small games. If it weren't for that, Ruibao wouldn't be attracted to go over.

If it really had nothing to do with him, why did he have to ride away to pack up when he had so many guests?

The more Bai Zhizhi thought about it, the more she felt that this was the truth, and she couldn't help but feel anxious.

When the child was lost, the person was already so anxious. It was only after so much time that she remembered that the person might have run away.

Whenever Bai Zhizhi thought that the person had run away and she would never see Ruibao again, her heart ached.

"No, I'm going to find him and ask him clearly now."

Deng Wenxing held her back again, "You won't be able to find anyone if you go over there now. Let's go report it to the police."

Bai Zhizhi thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. She didn't understand what he was talking about, so she turned around and ran towards the government office.

As soon as the government heard that they had a clue, they quickly sent a team out.

The vendor selling roasted sweet potatoes was a familiar face in the city, and I found his address without asking many questions.

A group of people rushed towards the alley where the peddler lived.

As they passed by, they saw the vendor holding the package and preparing to run away in a panic.

"That's him, that's the one."

As soon as Bai Zhizhi saw the vendor was about to run away, she rushed over.

The runners in the government office were not much slower than her. After all, they worked in the government office. Although they didn't have much martial arts skills, they knew some fighting skills and easily caught the peddler.

"Tell me, why did you run?"

The leading constable glared at the roasted sweet potato vendor fiercely, "Are you engaging in human trafficking?"

"Your Excellency, please be kind and let me go."

The peddler cried as he spoke, as if it were really true.

"Why are you packing up to go home and visit your relatives?"

Another pair of yamen runners had already visited his house and naturally discovered that all the valuable things in his house were gone.

The vendor rolled his eyes before saying, "I was just worried that someone at home was seriously ill and didn't have the money to treat them, so I packed a few extra things. I'm really just a commoner."

The leading constable didn't believe him at all. He sneered and punched him in the stomach. "I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise it won't be as simple as just questioning now."

The vendor refused to admit anything and just kept saying that he was a commoner and knew nothing.

"Take him back and torture him severely."

They had only been waiting in the government office for such a long time, and the constable had seen all kinds of people, so he didn't fall for his tricks at all.

When the vendor heard that he was going to be tortured, he immediately became a little scared, but still held on to a glimmer of hope and did not say a word.

That person had said that as long as he kept his mouth shut, nothing would have anything to do with him.
