Chapter Twenty-Six: Intricate Roots (Thanks to the Master of Hunan Cuisine for the Monthly Pass)
Coming out of Ruo Aozike's house, Li Qi, a staff member who followed behind him, asked, "My lord, Si Yu said that he won't investigate, are we really not investigating?"
Chen Huang was also a little frustrated, and waved his hand, "Today, tell everyone to go back and rest first, and I'll go back and think about it." ”
"Yes!"
Li Qi led people away, and Chen Huang also left the prison department ordered people to return to Chengfu with a pile of files, first visited Cheng Daxin, who was worried about becoming ill and worried at home, and was about to go back to continue to investigate the case again but was stopped by him, "Huang, but there are difficulties in official affairs?"
"Big Brother ......"
Chen Huang didn't want to trouble Cheng Daxin, he had already bothered about Cheng Dechen's death, "It's okay, it's just some small cases, I'll think about it myself." ”
"It's all one family, don't talk about two families. Cheng Daxin, who was dressed in plain clothes and still wearing filial piety, was pale and was helped up by the Li family and pulled him to say.
"Let's go to the study and tell me something. ”
"Yes, big brother. ”
In the study, Chen Huang asked Cheng Jia to ask him to investigate the case of the circle and ban on the homeless people, and he seconded the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division to find out nothing, and Ruo Ao Zike also persuaded him not to investigate the matter again, "Big brother, what do you think of this matter? The second brother asked me to investigate the case, but I couldn't find out anything, and after listening to what Ruo Ao Si said also made sense, after the floods over the years, there are countless displaced people in my Chu State, and it is normal for one or two cases of slight sale to occasionally occur, and it is a bit far-fetched to classify all the missing people as a slight sale." ”
Cheng Daxin groaned, "But I trust the judgment of the second brother." ”
"And now you also said that these thugs have confessed that they have taken more than a thousand people captive, and you follow the villages they said, as long as you find someone missing, this must be true, but these thousand people are now strange, then they must have been transferred to another place, they have taken people captive, and they must have a family to take over, in order to make huge profits, otherwise what will they do to arrest people. You might as well find out which family in the capital has been lacking so many people recently, and follow this line of thought to check, maybe you can find clues. ”
Chen Huang suddenly brightened up when he heard this, "Okay, big brother, I'll check again." ”
"However, Huang, the major families of this Yingdu are intertwined and their interests are intertwined. Although the third son of Ruo Ao is good friends with the second brother, everyone is just for the word 'profit'. and thou shalt not believe all his words. ”
Cheng Daxin grabbed Chen Huang, who was going to investigate the case, and carefully admonished, "Including the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, as far as I know, their Lord Captain has always been friendly with Ruo Ao Du Lieutenant of the Tiger Ben Forbidden Army, and if Ao Da Gong is himself, although I don't have much dealings, but my father said that this son is not a good kind when he is alive, and even provokes Lord Yin to dislike, and the Situ Du Lieutenant of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who is good friends with him, you also have to be a snack." ”
"In this Yingdu King City, the most complicated thing is the human heart!"
Cheng Daxin said softly, "I am not as good as the second brother in this regard, but when my father was here, he often told us two brothers not to easily believe what anyone from the major families in the capital said. Instead, think about why he said this to us, it must have his intention. ”
"So if the third prince of Ao asked you not to investigate this case, it may be because he knows that there is a deep involvement behind this case, and he doesn't want you to be involved, and you are still valuable to him now, and it is the link between our Cheng family and Ruo Ao's third room, so he advises you not to interfere. Cheng Daxin analyzed them one by one.
"What the eldest brother said is reasonable, in fact, I also think that he wants me to close the case hastily and stop it as soon as possible. But I don't know what it means, and the second brother is not there, I can't find a clue for a while, and even I think that maybe the third son knows the person behind this case, but it is inconvenient to tell me. Chen Huang listened to Daxin's words, twisted his eyebrows and said.
In fact, he also thought about this possibility, but he still didn't know the relationship between the various gates inside and outside Yingdu, so he didn't know who Ruo Ao Zike was shielding.
"Although this Situ Duwei is very good at talking these days, his people are not as effective as my own people in the Criminal Prison Department, and we have investigated for a few days and found nothing. ”
"After all, those who are not my Cheng clan will definitely be separated from you when they do things. ”
Cheng Daxin nodded and said, "That's it, this token, you take it, although there are not many people in my Cheng clan, but if you want to check some things, you still have your own channels." ”
"This token!"
Chen Huang has seen this token, one for Cheng Jia and one for Cheng Daxin, "It's too precious, big brother, I can't accept it." ”
"You will lend you to me for a few days, you are also doing things for the Cheng family now, if there is no one for you to send, these things will not be done very well, so let it go!" Cheng Daxin patted him on the shoulder and got up and said, "I am not in good health now, and I need you to stand up and share my worries for my second brother." ”
"Yes, big brother, after the case is investigated, I will return it after I finish it. ”
Chen Huang arched his hand.
"Go, it's all a family, come over if you have any difficulties!"
Cheng Daxin waved his hand.
"Well, thank you, big brother! Big brother, since Cheng Lao is no longer there, he will recover as soon as possible, and he still needs the support of his eldest brother in the court. ”
"Well, I'm going to take some more time off and go back to work. ”
After the two brothers finished speaking, Chen Huang went out of the door, and ordered someone to drive back to the yamen of the Criminal Prison Department and called all the staff members, and began to look through all the missing persons in the past five years, as well as the missing persons reported by the following counties, and compared, if the missing cases within two years are not enough to show that the same dental store is doing this.
And what about five years?
Or even ten years?
After all, it is impossible for the tooth store to take people captive for only one year, if you want to make a profit, just like the eldest brother said, there will definitely be a seller of the next family, see who they are in contact with, and naturally find some clues.
And he had been ignoring who wanted so many people, if a certain family wanted to add slaves or generals, so many, I am afraid that there would be a private soldier of a thousand people, after all, there are so many slaves, you can't be like the second brother to open up the wasteland!
Every household has a number of fields registered.
Trafficking in large numbers of people is certainly useful.
********
At this time, Chen Huang seemed to have found a new exit in the confused predicament, but in the eastern suburbs cell, Qing'er, who was twisted in, didn't know why he was suddenly taken into custody and fell into an inexplicable predicament.
This lady didn't play cards according to common sense from the first time she saw her, and it took her a lot of twists and turns, and finally she was locked up by her again just now when she could eavesdrop on the core technology of Cheng's building ship.
Could it be that she was exposed?
But she didn't do anything!
There was a thud, and the cell door locked in front of her, taking away most of the light from the cell. [.]
