I was a little moved, life and death separation is the most painful thing in this world, at this moment, he is just a poor man who has lost his wife and children, such a small request, has been his lifelong wish, I can't bear to hit him again, just comforted: "Shopkeeper, don't be sad first, Jiren has his own natural appearance, maybe the child is still alive, this princess also suspects them of trafficking women and children, so, I will try my best to investigate." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he made a gesture to kneel me again, but was pulled by Deng Yi, so he didn't kneel down, and thanked him with red eyes.

I waited for the three of us to sit back in our seats.

The shopkeeper had already adjusted his mood and said, "Just now the princess said that she suspected them of human trafficking?"

I nodded, "What does the shopkeeper know?"

The shopkeeper's chin said: "Like the princess, the villain is also suspicious, but there is no evidence, and he is a flat-headed commoner, so he can't do anything, alas~"

The shopkeeper sighed and told us about his suspicions.

This Longxing restaurant and the county government are facing the door, and they are at the crossroads, with a large flow of people every day and a large amount of information.

Since the bandits entered the city, his business has not been as good as before, and with the accident of his wife and children, he has no heart to operate.

So every day he would stand at the door and look at the crowd of people coming and going on the street, hoping that one day his child would be like Cang'er, and he would come back and stand opposite him and call him Daddy.

Sometimes in the middle of the night, when he dreamed that his wife and children were awakened and couldn't sleep, he would run to the gate and sit, and sit all night.

One night, he had a nightmare in which he saw his son standing in front of him covered in blood, crying, "Daddy save me......"

He was frightened and sweated, and he didn't dare to fall asleep again, for fear that when he closed his eyes, he would see his son's bloody appearance.

So, as usual, he got up and put on his clothes, and prepared to go to the door to sit down.

He had just walked to the door, and before he could open the door, he heard another change from the county government on the opposite side, he didn't dare to act rashly, thinking that in the middle of the night, no one should come to report to the official, and besides, the county master has not handled official business for a long time, so late, how can there be a sound!

Out of curiosity, the shopkeeper only opened a slight crack, and then looked out through the crack in the door, this look was not tight, and the visible scene shocked him into a cold sweat, and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he tried to stabilize his body.

Looking out through the crack in the door through the cold moonlight, the situation opposite the county government was all at a glance.

I saw a group of black-clothed people with ghost masks driving a few carts of things to the county office, all of which were large boxes, which seemed to be very heavy, and the county commander Juan Zhi was also there, and the commander of the black-clothed people moved inside.

Although the shopkeeper didn't see it very clearly, the ghost masks worn by those people were the same as those worn by the bandits on the night of the Lantern Festival, and this discovery really scared him a lot, wiped a cold sweat, and he continued to stare at it without daring to come out.

After a while, after the boxes on the car were moved, the head of the ghost-faced man in black and Juan Zhi didn't know what to say in the ear to ear, they spoke in a deliberately low voice, and the shopkeeper couldn't hear it clearly, but he vaguely heard the man in black say something "The goods are all ready, last time and this time", Juan Zhi replied, "Don't worry, it's all high-class goods" and something like that.

It was not clear what the goods they were talking about, and at first the shopkeeper's guess was likely to be the contents of the boxes carried by the ghost-faced black-clothed man to the county office, but then, what he saw made him suppress his previous thoughts.

After a handover, Juan Zhi turned around and went in, but soon came out again, and behind him were several female prisoners, about a dozen or so, all of whom were tied hand and foot, and their mouths were gagged.

After looking at them one by one, the leader of the ghost-faced men in black didn't seem to be very satisfied.

Hu Anzhi laughed and said, "Recently, the wind in Fengdu has been tight, and someone may have to come to investigate"

The ghost-faced man in black replied: "You can rest assured of this, as I said, it is our people who came, you just have to do it with confidence, and your benefits are indispensable." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he vaguely guessed that the goods they were talking about should be those female prisoners.

The content of this conversation almost frightened the shopkeeper.

The county magistrate and the bandits colluded to sell human beings, and even the big officials from Fengdu were accomplices, and the information hit him hard in the heart like a thunderbolt from the sky. He was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't dare to look any further, so he crawled back to his room, so frightened that he couldn't sleep all night.

As the shopkeeper heard, within a few days, Fengdu came, saying that he was here to investigate the case of the people's banditry.

It was none other than Zeng Yuan, the eldest son-in-law of Yu Enyuan, the aforementioned Zhenguo Gong.

The shopkeeper thought about what he heard that night, and when he saw this Master Zeng, he was angry, but he didn't dare to tell the truth to anyone, for fear of causing death.

After Zeng Yuan, Juan Zhi accompanied him to the shopkeeper's restaurant every day to eat and drink, and went to Fireworks Willow Lane to be chic and happy.

Yuncheng is not big, he is the only one in the high-grade restaurant, and it is the closest to the yamen, the shopkeeper understands it, but he has to pretend to be confused, and he is busy serving them every day, he can't hide, so he has to flatter against his will.

Zeng Yuan just came to go through the motions, and did not do any substantive investigation, the two officials protected each other, colluded with each other, and finally reported the case to the common people as bandits, gathering people to make trouble, and hastily closed the case.

After Zeng Yuan left, Juan Zhi became more and more bold, and their transactions became more and more frequent, and they were bumped into several times by the shopkeeper.

Their transactions are very regular, generally once every two months or a month and a half, ranging from a few people to a dozen people at a time.

Moreover, the women and children used for trading were all unjustly arrested by Juan on various charges, and then these people were handed over to the ghost-faced men in black, and as for their final whereabouts, it is unknown whether they are dead or alive.

After listening to it, I only felt that the anger of the whole person was almost uncontrollable, so I slapped the table and shouted coldly: "What a juanzhi, his courage is not small!"

According to the shopkeeper, they traded once every two months, and almost all of them were about 10 people, and in the past three years, at least 100 people have been trafficked, and this is still known to the shopkeeper, so what about the shopkeeper who does not know, and who trades secretly?

Lin An didn't mention these things to us, so many prisoners in the prison were gone, didn't he notice anything wrong? Or did he deliberately hide it?

In any case, Juan Zhi's charges have been confirmed, now as long as he is arrested, and then through him to find out the whereabouts of those children, find out who is behind the scenes, and bring him to justice, otherwise how can he be worthy of so many people who died in vain in Yuncheng.

Also, for such a big matter, I have to repair a letter to inform the imperial brother, this matter must be very involved, and there must be a big official in the court to cover it, otherwise, if such a big thing happens, Yuncheng is the closest to Fengdu, how can it be easy to cover up the past.
