The exit of this secret passage near Tongzhou Wharf is a bit troublesome, this is not a private house, it is an abandoned Guandi Temple. There was a large group of beggars living inside. If a new house is built, these beggars will have no place to live. The exit of the secret passage that Yun'er saw with the eye of heaven was just below the clay statue of Guan Yunchang, the clay statue had no exit, it was sealed, and there were more than a dozen steps down to the right below. Not far from the stairs there is a heavy stone gate, and inside the stone gate is the underground passage of the house, which is about four meters wide, and is flanked by stone walls. On the left and right sides of the wall were exotic goods, all of which were left there intact, and it is estimated that the beggars did not know this location.

These beggars all belong to a beggar gang called the "Xingsheng Gang", and they have a gang leader who has taken them to entrench in this Guandi Temple. Yun'er wondered if this gang leader knew about the storage of the underground secret room, and if he knew, he was waiting here to prepare to enter the secret passage, which would be a great threat to the security of the house.

The prince instructed the Nalan guards to investigate in detail who the leader of the beggar gang was, how many members of the beggar gang were, their age, and their origins.

Three days later, Nalan brought back the first piece of information to the prince: "The leader of the beggar gang is surnamed Zhu, called Zhu Youtong, and he may be a descendant of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty." There are three groups of beggars, one is a local beggar, this group is mostly children, the other is a group of children who have fled the famine and their families have been separated, and a few adults are men who help the gang leader manage these beggars. All beggars are children under the age of twelve or thirteen, from as young as four or five years old. The gang leader is about forty years old and has no family. Eight people helped the gang leader manage the beggars, two each known as the second, third, and fourth elders, and two guardian spirits who followed the gang leader closely. The Guardian Saint's kung fu is quite superb and ruthless, and almost all beggars are afraid to throw themselves to the ground. Except for these nine people, the rest were all beggars. Regardless of age, each person must hand over ten cents to the gang leader every day, and those who can't pay it will be punished by slapping and spanking. If there are escapees, the end is death.

Originally, Yun'er wanted to figure out Guò Tianyan to take a look at the situation of this beggar gang, but when she thought that this beggar gang had nothing to do with making money for the emperor at all, she didn't look at it. Only after seeing Nalan's information to the prince did he realize that this matter was very strict, why did those children seem to be forcibly imprisoned there, which was not much better than going to prison.

Master's voice sounded in Yun'er's ears: "These children are all you should save. The gang leader and the so-called elder are all bandits who kill people and overhaul goods, and they are not descendants of the Ming Dynasty royal family at all. They have used cruel violence to control these children, and you have to save them from fire and water, and they will be your business help in the future. ”

Yun'er knew it in her heart. In Tianmu, I found the residence of these beggars in the Guandi Temple, and there were some ragged beggars lying on the ground, some of them with very painful expressions, as if they were sick, very pitiful.

Yun'er thought for a moment, "Where is the helper", and the scene in front of her began to move, until behind the statue of Guan Gong, it seemed that the environment here was a little better than that of other beggars. But Yun'er saw a strange phenomenon, a man in his forties seemed to be doing exotic push-ups, and his movements were very fast, Yun'er didn't understand what he was doing, and thought about "get closer" for a while, and the scene was immediately enlarged a lot, and Yun'er's face suddenly turned red. It turned out that the gang leader did that kind of thing to a teenage boy! The child's mouth was gagged with a cloth, and his hands were tied around his head, and only the side of the boy's face could be seen, and the expression on his face was very painful, and his face was full of tears.

Yun'er's heart is trembling! There are still such dirty things happening around us in the world!

Master's voice came up again: "Use your powers to punish the wicked and save the children!" “

"Yes! Disciples, obey the master's orders! ”

Yun'er used his mind to control the ability, and the gang leader got up from the boy's body, and just hung in the air, stopping in mid-air, and he screamed in fright. The two "guardian saints" who were "watching the excitement" beside him were also frightened, and hurriedly used their hands to pull the helper, but they also vacated themselves, and involuntarily shouted: "Come on!" Come on! ”

The beggars lying outside reluctantly got up and went to the back of the statue of Guan Gong to see the situation, and they were stunned when they saw it. What kind of exercise is this? That's amazing! One by one, they just looked dumbfounded, not knowing what to do. It's not that I've been beaten or tied up, how can I save it? They were so high above the ground that they were too small for anyone to reach.

Almost all the beggars who didn't go out in the temple came to see the excitement, and Yun'er thought to herself that the three of them would "hit the wall!" "Okay, this instruction is so good, I saw that the three gang leaders began to hit the wall often, and the first time they had a blue nose and swollen face, and then they hit hard as if they were angry with someone! Yun'er didn't let them hit their heads, if they did, they would be killed quickly. Most of them hit the shoulders and backs, and they hit them continuously. The little beggars who came to see the excitement would have applauded and cheered if they were not afraid of the revenge of the helper. The one who was lying on the ground and was ravaged also got up to watch the excitement, and a little smile appeared on his pale face.

It wasn't until the gang leader and his patronus were knocked unconscious that Yun'er gave the command to "stop".

The little beggars chattered and whispered, "What's the matter?" Do you know what kind of kung fu the helpers are practicing? ”

"Is there someone who has done too much evil and has been punished?" A beggar whispered.

Several elders were not there, and the beggars had no money to ask for the helper and the guardian spirit, so they just watched them lie there like dead dogs, and they probably didn't have the strength to beat people when they woke up.

Yun'er carried these little beggars to the house bought by the prince not far from Yulong Buzhuang according to the prince's wishes, transported Li Caimai away, and locked the door.

These little beggars came to a place of unknown origin, dozens of people were locked in a five-room house, and within an hour someone came to deliver food. This is a lot of people haven't eaten white rice for a few years, one for each person, served on a big plate, in addition to white rice and stir-fried vegetables, no one has to grab it, just listen to the wind and clouds of "sighing and snoring", and the deflated little belly becomes a small drum all day long.

I heard that the helper said that he would castrate them, sell them, and kill them. This may be the last meal of this life, and it is really delicious. The beggar's days are all about having a meal and not having a meal, having a day without tomorrow, eating a meal of white rice before dying, and not living in vain in this life!

Coming to collect the harvest were two young men in practice uniforms. When the beggars have been begging for food all the year round, they have already developed a sweet mouth, and several twelve or thirteen-year-old beggars launched a sweet mouth offensive, and they came to them very doggedly, first grinned at them, and then asked: "Uncle, shall we enter the palace after eating?" ”

"Who said that?"

"Not entering the palace? Is that selling us? Where do you sell to? ”

"Who's this nonsense?"

"You're not going to kill us to be that aphrodisiac, are you?"

"What's in your little heads?"

"This is what our helper said."

There was a Nalan guard who brought food to the little beggars, and when he heard the little beggar say this, he paid attention: "You are disobedient, you help the master scare you, right?" ”

"Then you sue us, where are we going, if we don't go back to Guandi Temple, we will sue you."

"I don't think I will go back, you also heard that the land of the Guandi Temple was bought, it is the land of the Tongzhou County Ya, can you stop it if they sell it?"

"Then our gang leader and the two gang leader's patron saints, as well as the six elders, they all ran away, right?"

"They have all been arrested by us, if you have evidence of his crime, he will have to go to prison, of course, he will be sentenced, that is, he will be in prison for a few years, what are you afraid of? If they have a life, they have to be beheaded, and if they have no life, they have to be sentenced to prison for doing a lot of bad things, even if they get out of prison, it will take several years, and you are much older than you are now, will he still recognize you? ”

"Uncle, if we say it, will you sue them?"

"You kid, didn't you say that their uncle accused them of their crimes? Don't worry, uncle won't say, absolutely not! I swear! "Nalan looks serious.

"Uncle, don't swear! You are a good person, and we believe in you. ”

"Okay, you sue Uncle Sù for all the bad things they have done, and then Uncle Sue Sù for the big man who decided the case, and if the situation is true, he will be sentenced."

"I said ......"

"I'll start with ......"

The little beggars scrambled to speak.

"Don't worry, don't worry, you can talk about this little brother first."

"Thank you, uncle. I fled from Henan, and I got separated from my father and mother on the way. A man said that he could find me an apprentice in a shop for food and shelter, so I came with him, but it turned out that he was a head who asked for food, and forced me to ask for food, and I had to ask for money, or I would be beaten to death, woo ......" and began to cry as he spoke.

Another hurriedly said: "My home is in the capital, and my family is not poor, but I was separated from my family when I watched the lanterns on the Shangyuan Festival, and I was deceived by the helper." Brother Genzi who is with me is my little servant, and he sold it in a few days, I was a young master when I was at home, and I didn't need to ask for food at all, and when I got here, I didn't want to eat, and the helper also tied me up, tied me up, woo woo......"

"Uncle, I am also from the capital, but after playing at the door for a while, I somehow got someone to ask for food and the child was together, and my neighbor's iron head was killed by the gang leader and made an aphrodisiac. Uncle, how much do I want to go home? ”

Nalan's thick eyebrows formed pimples, all of which were accusations of blood and tears.

"Don't be sad, you know? You are saving people, you will not return to the Guandi Temple, the people who saved you will try their best to help you find your relatives, and if you can't find it, they will also arrange something suitable for you to do. You're not willing to ask for food for the rest of your life, are you? ”

"Who wants to eat? Three grandsons. Some cats and dogs don't eat the food that is coming! There are both sour and smelly ones, and I have diarrhea after eating. The people here are all teenagers, and they all want to earn food for themselves with their own hands, who wants their grandparents to beg others, and they are still looked at by others, and some raise their hands to beat. Our gang leader has already sold his little brother, and if he doesn't listen to his shouting, he will be killed directly......"

The children's words speak for themselves! The case was moved to the lobby of the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, where dozens of children cried and scolded, collectively accusing the gang leader, the guardian saint, and the six elders of the crimes.

As a result, the gang leader, the guardian spirit, and the four elders were beheaded after the autumn, and the other two elders did not participate in the killing of the little beggar, but they were abused and sentenced to ten years in prison.

The Guandi Temple in Tongzhou was demolished, and the prince built a street-facing merchant on the site of the Guandi Temple, and the merchants from the south to the north were convenient to buy goods here.

The case is closed, and there is no matter of the prince. Before the gang leader could say that there was a secret passage in the Rui Wangfu, he was killed by a cell boss who had something to do with the former Ming Sect.

The old lady sent her strong father-in-law in the palace to pick up Fujin at the house, and the prince whispered to remind her that she might be inquiring about the Guandi Temple and the beggars. As expected by the prince, after a few words of chatting, the queen mother asked: "I heard that Prince Rui bought a house in Tongzhou?" ”

"My lord said that Tongzhou is the northern end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and there are many merchants coming and going from the south to the north. The purse sachets made by the girls and grandmothers in the house according to the samples of the exotic land are very eye-catching, and the cloth products from the exotic place are also very good-looking, and the merchants in the south can take a fancy to them. ”

"You always say that your prince is a rough person, but he is not rough in thinking about things, so it is good to make money. How can there be a beggar gang when buying a house? ”

"Hey, who knew there was such a trouble, and if you knew, you wouldn't buy that piece of land. The prince felt that it was better to buy the land, so he sent the Nalan guards to his friend who used to be the head catcher to ask if there was any property in the yamen, and the friend told him that there was a Guandi temple to be demolished, which was the land of the Yamen in Tongzhou County. Or the procedures given by the magistrate there, who would have thought that there were dozens of people living in the Guandi Temple, and they would not have a place to live after the Guandi Temple was demolished? He had already heard that the leader of this beggar gang had a lot of irregularities, so he went to the yamen for questioning. Not to mention that he was a thief, this beggar gang leader thought that the magistrate had already mastered the evidence of his crime, so he didn't confess to himself, and told him about abducting and selling children, ruining boys, and killing children to make aphrodisiacs. The children who asked for food came forward to testify. ”

"I heard that this gang leader is still a descendant of the former Ming Dynasty?"

He wanted to put gold on his face, and when the magistrate of Tongzhou County tried the case, he didn't say anything when he asked. Since it is a person of the former Ming Dynasty, he should know whose descendants he is, right? The result is Zhang Guan Li Dai. "Fu Jin didn't talk about the Night Pearl.

Thirty-six little beggars, fourteen of whom knew the address of their home, were reunited with their relatives under the protection of the palace guards and personal soldiers. The adults in their family don't have hope at all, they haven't found it for several years, the children have changed a lot, and they can't necessarily remember the things when they were young, so they don't look for them, but when they see the young man in the guard's costume leading the child who ran all the way to call Eniang, they were all stupid! When I asked, it was found by the guards of King Rui's Mansion, and I didn't know how to thank it.

Even in the field, there is a guard and a personal soldier to send it to the adults, and it is not easy to confirm that it is their child.

The other little beggars were raised in that courtyard, and they found a gentleman to teach them to read and read, and not every meal of big fish and meat could be fed, and the sisters of Yu'er Shui'er and Feiyunlou made new clothes for these children with two cotton and two orders of cloth each, and they would be the reserve force of the house in the future.
