Chapter 118: Human Traffickers

The child was seen by the doctor, saying that it was no big deal, but he had been hungry for a long time, and the group turned into the restaurant, and asked for a lot of steamed buns and noodles to fill the stomach with rice, and the child could also eat, maybe more than two years old, and actually snorted and drank two bowls of millet paste, his mouth was still wide open, and his eyes jumped to see the paste in the pot. The big one is like being able to eat, Zhang Zhaohua asked for twenty buns, and Jiang Tingqi and Handong ate two each, and the rest were eaten by Dahu, as well as two large bowls of noodles, and I don't know how they were put into his stomach.

Zhang Zhaohua smiled and said: "You can't eat too much, otherwise your stomach will be exhausted and you won't be able to digest it." ”

The boy was obedient, and although he was still reluctant to give up in his eyes, he still put down his chopsticks and said, "Who are you?"

"That is, people passing by," Zhang Zhaohua said, "but Kaifeng is also my hometown." ”

Talking slowly, this kid also knows a lot, for example, the porridge shop he saw just now was actually not given by the officials of Kaifeng Mansion, but built by the officials of the Zhou Palace, the food of the official mansion was not enough, and a porridge factory was built, which could not be opened after seven or eight days, but it was the King of Zhou, because his palace was also flooded by a few inches, and when he was sheltering, he saw the fleeing victims, and felt compassion, and opened a private treasury to help the victims.

Zhang Zhaohua's grievances against Zhou Wangfu calmed down a little, but when she thought of how the food in his private treasury was obtained, she couldn't help but become angry again, and she also suspected that the disappearance case was related to Zhou Wangfu.

How much power the vassal king has, she is clear, when she complained in a province of Henan, she had no way to complain, and traveled all over Nanjing, even Ying Tianfu Yin could not do anything about it, although in the hands of today's saints, the guards of the vassal king were cut off, and many places were cut, but they still overrode the place like the emperor of the soil, and became a shadow on the heads of the people.

The palace of the king of Zhou has a case record of capturing people, and she also knows that some vassal kings not only kidnap the people's daughters, but also castrate boys privately, deceive and castrate the good children, and make them into eunuchs to enter the palace to serve.

"I have something I want you to help with," Zhang Zhaohua said to Dahu: "You are a clever person, you can see that if the thing is successful, it will be a great achievement, and you can live a good life." ”

Zhang Zhaohua put the child in his arms and commanded in a low voice: "You just pretend that nothing happened and go back to the porridge shop...... Someone came back at night to rob the child...... You're ......"

Dahu listened carefully, nodded again and again, and said, "I can do it, I must find out their nest!"

Zhang Zhaohua let him go, and said to Jiang Tingjue: "You went to visit Fu Yin with a post, only saying that you lost a scholar, and you knew the clues, so you only asked Fu Yin to send someone to help arrest him, and Kaifeng Mansion will be closed for one day tomorrow, that's all." ”

Zhang Zhaohua got up before dawn the next day, and when he left the yard, he saw that Jiang Tingqi had really brought less than 20 catchers, so she said: "All the officials have worked hard, just because my master lost a scholar, and he knows the whereabouts of the thief. ”

Zhang Zhaohua told Dahu to hide the needle and thread, and the traffickers must take advantage of the darkness to snatch the children at night, and the most likely is that the big and small ones are robbed together, because the big tiger is only ten years old - the big tiger takes advantage of these people's unpreparedness and sews the silk thread on their hats or plackets, which is the same method used by Wang Yu in the Song Dynasty.

Quankaifeng opened two porridge shops, both of which were given by Zhou Wangfu, and it didn't take long for these catchers to search inside, and sure enough, they saw a middle-aged man in his forties, with a few silk threads on his collar, and he didn't realize it, he was still looking inside the victims, and was surrounded by catchers from all directions, and brought it to Zhang Zhaohua.

"Say," Zhang Zhaohua scolded, "where are the people you have plundered?"

The man pretended to be stupid and didn't admit it at first, but the catchers quickly put a sixty-pound shackle on him and put on the posture of an old man pushing a cart.

Zhang Zhaohua stopped the arrester who wanted to search, and said: "This must not be the hiding place, you can't find anything where you go, he is ventilating his accomplices." ”

After that, there was a board to serve, the man couldn't stand it, so he said the place with a dying breath, and the catchers quickly roared away, Zhang Zhaohua said to Jiang Tingjue: "I see that these catches are not enough, and I have to bother you to go to the commander of the soldiers and horses, and ask him to ask for some soldiers." ”

The command of soldiers and horses in the world is the same, and the management is also the same thing, such things as arresting thieves, sweeping the streets, and preventing fires in one place can be bought with money. Zhang Zhaohua can give a price of 100 taels of silver this time, so that they can go out to arrest human traffickers, she suspects that this time 20 catches are not enough, she doesn't want any fish to slip through the net.

But after more than an hour, the good news came, and sure enough, a nest of people was found, 17 traffickers were arrested, and more than 200 children were rescued.

After interrogation, these traffickers confessed to the crime of human trafficking, and they used various methods to steal or rob or buy, and kidnapped the children, but they actually have a unified trafficking direction, that is, Changsha.

When Zhang Zhaohua heard this result, she didn't believe it at first, she thought that these people might have confessed to Zhou Wangfu, but Fu Yin covered it up for Zhou Wangfu, but Dahu, who didn't expect to come back safely, also said that he heard a few traffickers say at night that if they went to Hunan early tomorrow morning, it seems that these people are indeed going to sell people to Hunan.

When these traffickers arrived in Hunan, naturally someone would come to hand over the population, and the government Yin interrogated it several times, and said that he really didn't know who the other party was, but they urgently needed such children, and the price was high.

Zhang Zhaohua stayed in Kaifeng for seven or eight days, and waited until the case had a rough trial result, and the officials were still efficient—these individual traffickers were sentenced according to law, some were hanged, and some were in prison, and they all deserved their crimes. The government also helped to resettle the captive population and help them find their relatives.

Dahu named the child he saved as Xiaohu and recognized him as brothers, and the two brothers were willing to follow Zhang Zhaohua and wanted Zhang Zhaohua to take them in. Zhang Zhaohua couldn't take them in, but the Yang family liked these two children very much, and if he was willing, he would accept them as godgrandchildren, and the big tiger was naturally willing, and he was happy to admit his relatives and be picked up, only to know that this guy was also handsome.

Zhang Zhaohua heard the news that Lin Fang, the governor of the river, had gone to Shandong when she was in Kaifeng, and she also saw that the floods in Henan were not as urgent as in Shandong, and Henan was only a problem of resettlement of victims, and the water level of the river was gradually declining, but Shandong was always bursting. She didn't dare to hesitate, she originally wanted to go to Dezhou to see the actual situation of the Zhang family's encroachment on the fertile land, but she didn't go now, she knew that this thing was ten percent true, and Xiaomin didn't know her identity and there was no need to lie. So she decided to go to Shandong first, and then return to Nanjing to solve the problem of Zhangjiatianmu.
