On the way to the black market.

On a winding country road.

Liu Xing met a few children begging with broken bowls.

At first, he avoided these children, but these children approached him intentionally or unintentionally, and stretched out the broken bowl in their hands.

This scene made Liu Xing somewhat helpless.

However, after seeing these children unkempt and ragged, they did not drive them away at the moment.

Instead, he smiled wryly and gave a dollar each.

I thought that these children would scatter in a hurry, but an unexpected scene happened.

The big-eyed boy with his head suddenly hugged his right leg and whispered, "Brother, run quickly, someone is trying to harm you." ”

"It's a tall young man, and we see him tailgating behind you. A girl with missing front teeth timidly followed.

Liu Xing's body stiffened when he heard this, he didn't look back for the first time, but took out twenty yuan from his body and put it in the broken bowl of the big-eyed boy and the girl with missing front teeth: "Thank you, let's go quickly! Brother will take care of his own affairs." ”

"Uh-huh!" the missing incisor girl nodded happily, pulled the big-eyed boy and ran away.

The other children followed, just running away in the blink of an eye.

Liu Xing shook his head with a faint smile and walked straight towards the blacksmith shop in the black market.

Now there are many bungalows around, and there are many pedestrians coming and going.

He was sure that the tall young man that the children said would never dare to do anything to him.

So he doesn't have to worry about security at all.

"Let's go to the black market first. Thinking of this, Liu Xing quickened his pace.

Soon, we came to the gate of the blacksmith shop.

There was a small car parked at the door, and the license plate was actually Li Dawei's.

This made Liu Xing somewhat pleased.

Seeing that the door of the blacksmith shop was open, he immediately walked in.

In the backyard, he not only saw Li Dawei, but also Wu Ju, Chen Hong, and Zhao Gou.

"Why are you all here?" Liu Xing asked with a smile.

"Take you back, if you don't go back, the market will be frying. Chen Honglian said.

"There was a big problem with the drainage system. Zhao Gou followed and said.

Hearing this, Liu Xing nodded, and turned his head to look at Li Dawei: "What about you, don't tell me that you have bought all the materials for repairing the wine filling equipment." ”

"I'm just the driver today, I'm here to pick you up. Li Dawei smiled bitterly.

"Oh!" Liu Xing nodded.

In his opinion......

Li Dawei, the old fox, is not honest, the so-called nothing does not go to the Three Treasures Palace, this is followed by the black market, there must be other things, but since Li Dawei didn't say it, he naturally wouldn't ask more.

Seeing that it was not too early, after smiling, he said, "Then don't say anything, go back to the market first." ”

"Okay!" Li Dawei hurriedly took the lead and walked out of the backyard.

Chen Hong and Zhao Gou followed.

Wu Ju did not move.

This made Liu Xing a little surprised: "Uncle, do you have anything else?"

"Well, when Tian Jun interrogated Ma Xiaomei, a trafficker, he confessed that there were their accomplices in the Chaoyang Brick Factory, and I didn't drive a jeep here this time, I took Li Dawei's hitchhiker, just to go to the Chaoyang Brick Factory to investigate. Wu Ju looked at the watch on his right hand: "You didn't go back beforehand! ”

"I can't say it's okay. Liu Xing hesitated for a moment, and briefly told the inside story of several begging children he had encountered before, and the tall young man wanted to harm him.

The reason why he brought this up was because he felt that there was something wrong with those begging children.

After all, a normal family would let the children come out to beg.

In other words, if you can't do these begging children, it is related to human traffickers.

It's a gut feeling, and you can't go wrong.

When Wu Ju heard this, his thick eyebrows couldn't help frowning: "Do you know what the tall young man who is following you is called?"

"I didn't even look back, where can I know. Liu Xing smiled: "But I'm sure those begging children won't lie to me." ”

"Then I will go to the Chaoyang brick factory to investigate the traffickers, and I will send you back to the market safely as soon as possible. After thinking about it, Wu Ju made a decision.

Without waiting for Liu Xing to agree, he took the lead and walked out of the backyard.

Liu Xing knew that Wu Ju was for his good, so he had to follow closely at the moment.

At the door, Li Dawei had already started the car, and Chen Hong and Zhao Gou were already sitting in the back seat.

Seeing Liu Xing and Wu Ju coming out, he hurriedly rolled down the window and beckoned.

Liu Xing looked at it and smiled, and was about to walk over, but suddenly his smile disappeared.

Wu Ju, who was traveling with him, noticed that something was wrong and looked at Liu Xing's line of sight.

I saw a tall young man wandering at the door of the grocery store opposite, and walked over with a swagger.

Wu Ju's behavior made the tall young man completely defenseless, and it wasn't until Wu Ju got close that the tall young man noticed that something was wrong.

However, it was too late to react at this time, because Wu Ju fell over-the-shoulder, and then a grappling hand steadily took down the tall young man.

"What are you doing?" the tall young man struggled desperately.

"What do you say I'm doing?" Wu Ju took out the handcuffs and put them on the hands of the tall young man, and then walked to Liu Xing's side.

This is a change that the tall young man never expected.

In addition to being flustered, he was more annoyed: "It's really unexpected! Now the police officers have become the lackeys of the bosses." ”

"Shut the fuck. Wu Ju couldn't help but kick the tall young man: "Do you know why you were arrested?"

"Isn't that just stalking him?" the tall young man glared at Liu Xing with a sneer.

It seems that in his eyes, a police officer like Wu Ju has nothing to be afraid of at all.

"You say it lightly, but with this one alone, I can lock you up for three months. Wu Ju saw that there were more and more pedestrians around him, and immediately said to Liu Xing: "Let's get out of here first." ”

"No! you can't watch the show without it. Liu Xing said teasingly.

"Huh?" Wu Ju was surprised when he heard this.

Even the tall young man was a little panicked.

After all, he knew Liu Xing's details, and that was an existence that could snatch food from Wang Peng's hands.

"You were sent by Wang Peng to follow me, right?" Liu Xing saw that Zhou Silkworm was back, and he didn't talk nonsense at the moment, so he asked the tall young man directly.

"I don't know what you're talking about. The tall young man twisted his face to the side.

"I know him, he is Wang Peng's subordinate, and he has been in the suburbs of Dongyuan for two or three years. A peasant man with a hoe stood up and said.

As soon as these words came out, it was very embarrassing for the tall young man.

He was angry and wanted to scold this peasant man, but the next second he was immediately honest.

Because Xie Zhong also rushed back when he heard the movement, with more than a dozen villagers behind him.

He and Zhou Silkworm squeezed into the crowd and came to Liu Xing's side: "Wu Ju, what kind of wind blew you here?"

"You are embarrassed to say that if you forcibly left Liu Xing on the black market, he was almost killed, don't you have any sense of security at all?" Wu Ju directly pushed the tall young man in front of Xie Zhong, and there was anger on his face.

Now Liu Xing is not an ordinary person, if something happens, not to mention the matter of Hengshui Distillery's wine filling equipment waiting for Liu Xing to repair, even Doctor Jiang is afraid that it will not be easy to explain.

There is also the infrastructure construction in the bazaar, as well as the decoration and opening of department stores, which can be separated from Liu Xing.

Xie Zhong was very embarrassed when he heard Wu Ju say this, but he didn't dare to agree with the word victimization, he glanced at the tall young man, and couldn't help but say: "Isn't this 'Ji Wutian' under Wang Peng of Chaoyang Brick Factory? Why are you following Liu Xing? Do you want to take revenge?"

"It's not. The tall young man Ji Wutian's face changed and he even denied it.

However, what was waiting for him in the next second was a punch from Wu Ju: "I made your mouth hard, it turns out that your kid is Ji Wutian, an accomplice in the mouth of human trafficker Ma Xiaomei!"

As soon as these words came out, the pedestrians around who were watching the excitement were all moved.

After all, human traffickers are in their hearts, and everyone will be punished.

Xie Zhong originally wanted to say a few words about the Wu Bureau, because beating people is not the style that a deputy bureau should have.

But as soon as he heard that Ji Wutian was an accomplice of the traffickers, his face immediately changed: "Wu Bureau, are you mistaken, this kid has been working in the Chaoyang Brick Factory, and I didn't see him come out to abduct and sell children?"

"Does he still want to tell you about his abduction and trafficking of children?" Wu Ju couldn't help but scold Xie Zhong, he saw Ji Wutian struggling to escape, and kicked his knee to make him kneel: "My township chief, if you want to help, quickly evacuate the crowd and let me take him back to the bureau to investigate." ”

In the seventies and eighties, in addition to abducting children, traffickers also abducted and trafficked women.

Because in many places they are poor and cannot afford to marry a daughter-in-law.

And the abducted women have become the first choice in these poor places.

As for the reason, it must be because it is cheap.

"Okay, good!" Xie Zhong finally knew the seriousness of the matter, and took Zhou Silkworm and the others to disperse the pedestrians who were watching the excitement.

Liu Xing said what he thought at this time: "Uncle, I don't think you should go back to the bureau at the first time, but press this Ji Wutian to go to Chaoyang Brick Factory to have a look, maybe there will be a big harvest." ”

The brick factories in his memory, especially those in the 80s and 90s, were synonymous with child labor, and now that the trafficker Ji Wutian is involved with the Chaoyang Brick Factory, he is almost certain that the Chaoyang Brick Factory is very unclean, and there are many child laborers who have been trafficked in to do their work.

"But I'm a weak person, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to investigate anything when I go to Chaoyang Brick Factory. Wu Ju expressed the worry in his heart.

"Brother Xie can transfer someone to help!" Liu Xing proposed.

"Yes, I have long seen that Chaoyang Brick Factory is not pleasing to the eye, how many people do you want, I can call a hundred within ten minutes. Xie Zhong on the side echoed and said.

These words moved Wu Ju's heart, he also knew the importance of pursuing while he was victorious, and after thinking about it, he nodded and said: "That's okay, Xie Zhong, you immediately gather people, the more people, the better, let's go to Chaoyang Brick Factory to see how many illegal things that Wang Peng has done in private." ”

As soon as these words came out.

Ji Wutian was in a hurry, and he suddenly shouted: "Dead fatty, why are you still watching? Hurry back and report the news!"

"Damn!" When Wu Ju heard this, he kicked Ji Wutian to the ground.

When he looked up, a short and fat young man was running in the direction of Chaoyang Brick Factory in a panic.

This caught Wu Ju and Xie Zhong off guard.

Seeing this, Liu Xing said: "Then don't wait, let's go to Chaoyang Brick Factory now, Brother Xie! If you meet people along the way, you call them to join the team, and I still don't believe it, a foreign boss dares to spread wild land in our Zhangmu Township." ”

"That's all there is to it. Wu Ju nodded in agreement.

"Okay!" Xie Zhong hurriedly asked more than a dozen men such as Zhou Silkworm and the strong man in black around him to shout people, and the pedestrians on the side of the road also shouted together, and in less than a minute or two, no less than 100 people gathered.

Seeing that Xie Zhong's appeal was so great, Wu Ju waved his hand and dragged Ji Wutian to take the lead and walked towards Chaoyang Brick Factory.

Li Dawei, who was sitting in the car, also came down with Chen Hong and Zhao Gou at this time, and followed closely behind Liu Xing.

Before they could get out of the black market, the group had expanded to three hundred.

And with everyone's word of mouth, on the way to Chaoyang Brick Factory, the team increased by 200 people.

Finally, at the foot of Yunluo Mountain, the number of people directly exceeded 1,000, after all, the area around the black market was a place with a lot of traffic, and no one was unmoved when they heard about arresting human traffickers.

The mighty team made several brick factory employees guarding the door frightened.

I didn't even dare to lock the door, so I ran away.

Seeing this, Wu Ju led the team to escort Ji Wutian towards the Chaoyang Brick Factory.

Halfway through, he met Wang Peng, who came in a hurry.

There are also employees of dozens of brick factories.

Among them, the short and fat young man who had escaped before was inside.

When he saw this posture, his legs couldn't help but tremble.

When Wu Ju saw this scene, he saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, but he didn't arrest him as soon as possible, but looked at Wang Peng coldly: "Get away from me, don't hinder me from investigating the case." ”

"Huh...... Wu Ju is such a great official!" Wang Peng pretended to be calm and said with a smile: "He Ji Wutian has made a mistake, what does he have to do with me? What does he have to do with the entire Chaoyang Brick Factory?"

"I told you to get out, didn't you hear clearly?" Wu Ju couldn't help but shout when he saw that an employee of a brick factory took out a knife.

"Hmph!" Wang Peng ignored.

Seeing this, Xie Zhong came up with a short temper, and with a move of his hand, he pounced on the nearly 1,000 people behind him: "What are you talking about, just do it, dare to be in our Zhangmu Township, I will let him know how to write dead words." ”

"Don't ......," Wu Ju hadn't shouted out yet.

Chaoyang Brick Factory and nearly 1,000 people brought by Xie Zhong scuffled together.

However, this is a very unfair fight, there are only dozens of people in Chaoyang Brick Factory, which is the opponent of Xie Zhong and other thousands of people, almost a few breaths of time, all the employees of the brick factory, including Wang Peng, were beaten down.

But everyone was very measured and didn't make a dead move.

In other words, there were a lot of injured employees in the Chaoyang Brick Factory, but they were all slightly injured.

Wu Ju breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, and he even said to Xie Zhong: "You quickly ask someone to control Wang Peng and other lawbreakers, remember not to mess around, we can't explain if someone is dead." ”

"You're afraid of a ball. Xie Zhong touched his beard and grabbed Wang Peng, and after punching him a few times in front of Wu Ju, he threw it on the ground: "See no, it's not honest like this, it's a waste of saliva to talk nonsense with him." ”

Wu Ju looked at the headache, but he didn't reason with Xie Zhong, but handed over Ji Wutian in his hand to Zhou Silkworm: "You take a good look at him, don't let him run away, I'll go to the brick factory to search and see if there are any other accomplices." ”

In fact, finding an accomplice is secondary, he wants to see if there are any abducted children.

And also......

His abducted daughter, Nan Nan.

This is the pain in his heart for the rest of his life.

Although he can't tell outsiders, he must keep looking for it.

Liu Xing saw Wu Ju's thoughts, and he followed: "Uncle, we have to go to the dormitory of the brick factory to have a look, maybe there will be gains." ”

"Okay!" Wu Ju nodded in agreement and walked towards a group of makeshift low-rise greenhouses to the west.

Xie Zhong was afraid that Liu Xing would have an accident with the Wu Bureau, so he took dozens of villagers with good skills such as a strong man in black to follow behind.

As for the other thousands of people, they stayed in place to guard Wang Peng and Ji Wutian and other brick factory employees, if they dared to be careful, they would naturally be well 'entertained'.

Just when Xie Zhong was about to catch up with Liu Xing and Wu Ju.

An unkempt big-eyed boy ran out with a little girl with missing front teeth, neither of them paid attention to it, but ran straight to Liu Xing's side, and the big-eyed little boy looked up at Liu Xing: "Brother, we meet again." ”

"Well, thank you for the kind reminder you gave to my brother earlier. Liu Xing touched the big-eyed boy's little head.

"No thanks, do you want to find evidence of Boss Wang's trafficking of children?" asked the big-eyed boy.

"Yes. Liu Xing nodded.

"Then you come with me. The big-eyed boy turned around and ran, and when he saw the little girl with the missing front teeth behind him, he fell down and hurriedly helped him up.

Liu Xing stepped forward and picked up the little girl with missing front teeth: "Don't worry, we have time." ”

"Uh-huh!" the little girl with missing front teeth nodded.

Seeing this, the big-eyed boy had no choice but to walk towards the most remote temporary shed.

approached the moment when the curtain was opened, so that none of Liu Xing, Wu Ju, Xie Zhong and others who followed behind him were not dumbfounded.

It turned out that the greenhouse was crowded with people.

But it's not adults, it's children.

The oldest of them is fifteen or sixteen years old, and the youngest is estimated to be only four or five years old.

At this time, they all huddled in a dark corner in horror, as if they had been forcibly driven together.

"What's going on?"

Wu Ju squatted down and looked at the big-eyed little boy in a low voice.

"They were all abducted and sold by Boss Wang from other places, and what you see now is only a part, many of them died because they couldn't stand the tiring work of the brick factory, and several died in the brick kiln last month, and their bodies were burned. The big-eyed boy looked at Wu Ju and plucked up the courage to tell the inside story.

The reason why he dared to say it was because he saw that the adults in front of him were not ordinary people and could make decisions for them.

"This damn Wang Peng, Lao Tzu is going to kill him!" Xie Zhong couldn't help but roar when he heard this.

After all, as the head of Zhangmu Township, he didn't let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and he was already very sorry for them, and now he actually let a scum like Wang Peng work for the tiger in Zhangmu Township, which is simply his shame.

"Okay," Wu Ju stood up, his hands on his waist and his thick eyebrows twisted into a ball: "I don't understand, this Wang Peng and Ji Wu, he abducted and sold older children, it is okay to say that he can help produce red bricks, these four or five-year-old children, what can they do when they abduct them?"

"We can go out and beg for money, and the task is two dollars a day. The girl with missing front teeth said timidly.

Seeing Wu Ju looking at her in astonishment, he hurriedly shyly got into Liu Xing's arms.

"Then what if I can't get the money?" Wu Ju angrily clenched his hands into fists.

I don't know why, at this time, he actually thought of Nan Nan who was abducted and trafficked, if he was also begging for two yuan, he really wanted to die.

"I didn't have anything to eat until I got two dollars. The big-eyed boy replied, "Many of my younger siblings died of starvation because they couldn't get money." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

But none of them are pretty.
