Zhuanshui Township is famous for martial arts, because it ranks third in the family, so everyone calls it Shuwu.

You Bi, like the township husband and the three elders, are all township-level officials, with a higher level than the head of the pavilion of Heifu, with an annual salary of 100 stones, which is equivalent to the director of the township police station.

Although the pavilion chief directly belongs to the county lieutenant system, the wandering official is one level higher, which is also equivalent to the superior and has the power to guide the pavilion department. Therefore, when Heifu went to work in December, he went to the countryside and met with Shuwu.

At that time, Shuwu encouraged him a lot, and also pointed out some matters that need to be paid attention to as a pavilion chief as a senior, so Heifu had a good impression of this wanderer.

After that, the case of submitting a book to rob the tomb was directly intervened by the county, and the township only sent Shuwu to inquire about the situation and participated in the seizure of the family property of the prison in Chaoyangli. Since the beginning of spring, there has been no major incident in Huyang Pavilion, and even the little thief is afraid of the name of the black man, and does not dare to make trouble in the jurisdiction of Huyang Pavilion.

Until one day in late March, Shuwu suddenly came to Huyang Pavilion......

"I don't know that the wandering is coming, I can't meet it far away, and the subordinates are guilty!"

Heifu was learning to shoot a bow and arrow with Xiao Tao in the backyard, and when he heard that You was coming, he hurriedly went out and saluted before Shuwu entered the door.

Shu Wu has forty years, a Chinese face, and two black beards on his chin, looking very kind.

He helped Heifu up, glanced at the brand-new Shangjian scarf on Heifu's head, the meaning in his eyes was unclear, but he said with a smile on his face: "I'm not your chief, don't be polite." ”

Heifu welcomed Shuwu and two township pavilion officials, and an unknown middle-aged man into Huyang Pavilion, and asked everyone in the pavilion to come over to meet him, and asked Puzhang to hurry up and boil some hot soup to quench his thirst.

Shuwu was invited by Heifu to the main seat of the small hall, and while picking up the wooden slip on the desk and looking at it, he said with a smile: "I also came to Huyang Pavilion when the former pavilion chief committed the crime last year, and I only felt a little dilapidated and messy at that time. ”

After a few polite words, he said solemnly: "If I had nothing to do, I wouldn't have come here, since I came, it was official business." Heifu Pavilion Chief, you just cracked a big case in winter, but the pavilion is safe and sound after the beginning of spring, presumably you are idle and sleepy, no, I will send you a case for the township! ”

When Heifu heard this, he glanced at Liham, who was sitting with him, and Liham had told him that all the cases assigned by the township were not easy to do. If it was simple and meritorious, You Yi and the Township Pavilion would have taken over by themselves a long time ago, and only those who were troublesome to deal with would be assigned to the Pavilion Department, and once they were messed up, they would suffer in the end.

Having said that, the case is stuffed into your hands, and as the pavilion chief, it must be completed, otherwise it is dereliction of duty.

Heifu can only ask Shuwu hard, what kind of case is it?

Shu Wu clapped his hands and asked the two township pavilion guards to bring up the middle-aged man in his forties who looked honest......

The man carefully saluted Heifu, calling himself "Juny", a soldier of the Xiangshui Township.

"The villain dares to speak up to the pavilion chief, here's how it ......"

It turned out that two years ago, the 14-year-old only daughter of Ju went out to pick mulberry, but she did not return, and all her relatives and neighbors were nowhere to be found.

But the foal didn't believe it, the 4-year-old person was almost lost, and the 14-year-old girl could still get lost in broad daylight? He suspected that his daughter had been robbed!

But he had no evidence, at that time, it was a special period when Qin Chu was born, Anlu had thieves, and the Nanjun garrison police, and the township didn't have the time to send people to help him find his daughter. So the foal can only give up, he has only one daughter in middle age, he is pampered on weekdays, it is impossible to raise again, and he can only hide his face and cry at home with his old wife.

Unexpectedly, two years have passed, but a few days ago, the foal learned about his daughter's whereabouts from a merchant who came to Huyang Pavilion to sell daily necessities with a flat shoulder!

Ju said: "The vendor is my neighbor, when he came to Huyang Pavilion to do business in the blind mountain, he saw a woman in the middle, similar to my daughter's form, after seeing him, he opened his mouth to speak, but was pulled back by a few people who covered his mouth......"

Afterwards, the official there also said to the peddler as if to warn that the woman was just a lowly concubine bought from the market, and that she should not take it seriously or talk nonsense.

When he returned to the village, the peddler immediately informed Ju of the incident, and went with Ju to Shuwu to complain and ask for someone to save his daughter.

"Are you sure the peddler saw your daughter?" Heifu asked.

"There's no mistake! I've been neighbors with that vendor for more than ten years, and he grew up watching my daughter! Although he was still a little hesitant, it was the only glimmer of hope he had found in two years, so he was determined!

"It's a bit of a problem now." Heifu thought secretly in his heart, and glanced at Shuwu, who seemed to be smiling, and began to understand why he pushed this case to himself, because this was not only an old case, but also involved human trafficking.

In today's world, human trafficking exists, but it is also divided into legal and illegal, and there are three forms: "and selling", "slightly selling" and "plundering".

Prisoners of war from the Six Kingdoms, barbarian men and women, wives and daughters of sinners, etc., can all be sold as slaves between the government and private individuals, but there must be a deed and a small official of the government to testify.

"Skimming to buy" refers to the use of threats and inducements and other deceptive means to buy and sell ordinary civilians or their children, which is the same as the trafficking of human beings in later generations, the Qin State strictly prohibits soldiers from selling their sons and daughters, and the flow of people can only be controlled by the government! So it can only be traded privately.

"Plundering" is what we usually call kidnapping, plundering the population, changing hands and then selling.

"Selling and selling" is still legal, but "selling slightly" and "plundering" are illegal acts that the government strictly prohibits, and in particular, "selling and plundering" is even more serious.

According to the facts of the case recounted by the horse, his daughter should have been plundered and sold. The government strictly prohibits this kind of behavior, and those who can report the crime of "plundering people" or "slacking people" will be rewarded with ten taels of gold. This is also the reason why the peddler immediately sued the official after he returned.

"If it's really a plunder, then it's a big case, Heifu Pavilion Chief, since the blind mountain is under the control of Huyang Pavilion, and you have a capable name, this case will be handed over to you by the township! If you can do it well, the county will definitely be indispensable for your purchase! ”

Shuwu put a high hat on Heifu, but Heifu was clear in his heart, this case is really difficult to deal with.

If it's a neighboring Liju, forget it, through the book robbery case, Geli has already respected him.

But in the Blind Mountain, it was the only one in the jurisdiction of Huyang Pavilion that Heifu had not inspected. This place is located in the depths of the hills and ravines, and it takes four or five hours to get there, as the so-called poor mountains and bad waters are many people, where the people are fierce, and it is the most difficult area to govern. Successive pavilion chiefs have turned a blind eye to the blind mountain, but now, Shuwu wants Heifu to take people to find the woman who was plundered and sold, isn't this going to poke the hornet's nest......

He hesitated a little, but at this time the foal bowed down again and said emotionally: "The villain has no children, only this one daughter!" Han Ru has been raising her for more than ten years, just hoping that she will marry a good family, but she doesn't want to be plundered by thieves. In the past two years, the villain and the old wife have been reluctant to eat when they think of their daughter, and they have lived like a dead corpse, and we have never been willing to beat and scold, I really don't know how much she has suffered in that poor mountain. But I beg the pavilion chief to take me to that place to have a look, if it is really my daughter, if I can really save my daughter, the villain is willing to go bankrupt to give it up! “

As he spoke, he also shook his head on the ground, knocking his forehead red.

"Uncle, please get up." Heifu hurriedly helped him, but the foal couldn't stand on his knees, and he had to agree to it!

The words are all said about this, and the black man can't refuse, so he can only grit his teeth and take on this tricky case......

"I promise my uncle that I will help you find your daughter back!"

……

After leaving the foal in the Huyang Pavilion, You Shuwu took two Township Pavilion guards back to his home, and on the way, a young Pavilion Guard asked puzzledly: "You Bi, since there is a reward for rescuing the plundered and the buyer, or capturing the buyer, why do you want to hand over this case to the Huyang Pavilion Chief?" ”

"Don't ask if you don't understand!" Another pawn kicked the young colleague and winked at him.

Shu Wu rode a horse and walked in front of him, without answering, but in his heart, he was very clear about his purpose.

This case is not as simple as it sounds, not to mention the long distance in the blind mountain, which is basically a place that the government cannot manage. In the past, there were rumors of buying and selling women as wives, but the townships were beyond their reach, so they could only pretend not to know.

This tacit situation has been going on for many years, and the officials in the blind mountains will also cover up the families who buy and sell women. Now, I'm afraid they have realized that if they can't find anyone in the place, they will pounce on the void, and if they continue to investigate without evidence, they may be bitten back and end up with a false accusation......

After knowing these inside information, Shu Wu threw this thorny case into the hands of Heifu.

Heifu didn't know that although he hadn't done anything wrong, he had already offended Shuwu.

In that "book robbery case", because he was afraid that there would be collusion between the officials in Chaoyang and the township, Heifu was cautious, and reported directly to the county seat, and he led the pavilion soldiers to go out and kill the tomb robbers, and there was not a single small fish left for others.

Afterwards, although Shuwu didn't say anything, he missed a big case under his nose, and there was some unhappiness in his heart.

"Let's let the head of the Heifu Pavilion continue to behave, isn't he very capable, quite appreciated by the right lieutenant, and praised as a righteous man by the county people? It's time for him to taste what it's like to mess up the case! It's not that easy to be a pavilion chief!" Shu Wu sneered, beat the horse and sped forward......
