Chapter 150: Trouble
King Wu lifted the woman up, leaned her against the bed, and then handed her a pen and paper.
The moment the woman got the pen and paper, she burst into tears, she was at a good age, but she encountered a gangster who cut her tongue, and no one could accept it.
The hand holding the pen trembled uncontrollably, and after calming down for a while, he began to write all this.
"I am the little daughter of the Wang family, I was robbed in the market yesterday morning, and my tongue was cut off because I called for help, and the man who accompanied me didn't know and didn't know where to take me."
In these few lines, the woman was already trembling terribly, I was afraid that she still had lingering palpitations about yesterday's events, and she was too panicked to recall.
Ye Tingchen took the paper, his sword eyebrows were angry, and his heart was burning with anger.
Dare to rob people in broad daylight in public, it is really a child's play to regard the law of the country, Ye Tingchen vowed to investigate this matter and cut the initiator behind it with a thousand knives.
When the Wang family came to recognize their daughter, they were heartbroken and cried while holding their daughter.
"My daughter, how can you live like this..."
Mrs. Wang hugged her daughter tightly and did not want to let go.
The members of the Wang family knelt directly on the ground to face King Wu and plead for their daughter.
"Ask the prince, I will definitely catch the gangsters and give my daughter justice."
The man didn't flick when he had tears, and at this time, Wang Yuanwai saw his daughter being tortured like this, and his heart cried bitterly.
"Don't worry, I'll get you justice."
Ye Tingchen is also very angry about this kind of thing, this kind of thing is definitely not an exception, the youngest daughter of the Wang family was lucky to meet King Wu, if it was just an ordinary person, no one would care.
Sending off the Wang family, Ye Tingchen gathered the wind, flowers, snow, and moon in the study.
"Say what you think."
The four secret guards have all seen what happened yesterday afternoon, and today things have developed like this, Ye Tingchen wants to hear their thoughts before deciding on the next move.
"Master, I think there must be a gang behind this scene."
Yue is the most clever and the most intelligent, and at this time, Ye Tingchen is very eager to hear his opinion.
"Go on."
"Do you think, although the Wang family in the capital is not a big official, but it is also a famous family, who dares to directly rob Miss Wang? I think there must have been a gang of people who sent people to rob the ladies who went out alone. ”
What Yue said is very reasonable, and this point is also thought of with Ye Tingchen, because Ye Tingchen also feels that it is not realistic to rob Miss Wang with the ability of one person alone, and there must be an accomplice behind it.
"Master, I don't think Miss Wang is the only victim, we have no way of knowing those who have not been seen by us, or who are about to be persecuted."
Hua spoke, he felt that this was not just a simple kidnapping, if it was really as he said, there were more victims, this could be regarded as a large-scale human trafficking.
"yes, I've been worrying about that."
This is what Ye Tingchen is most worried about, and the more victims there are, the worse the nature of this case. If it was just an isolated case, the man deserved to hit the tree himself, but if it wasn't an isolated case, it would not be a simple matter to rescue those victims.
"Feng went to investigate and sort out the missing people in the last month, focusing on women. Hua and Xue went to the suburbs and borders near the capital, focusing on the border areas, and no place could be ignored. ”
Ye Tingchen assigned them a task, hoping to understand this matter clearly, so that it could be completely resolved.
"What about me, what about me?"
When Yue heard that the master hadn't arranged a task for herself, she was almost anxious.
"You follow me."
Ye Tingchen felt that he was not in good spirits in the past few days, and Yue was the most clever and smartest of the four, and by his side, he could remind himself that he had neglected something important.
Yue listened to her master's words, and although she wanted to follow her brothers on a mission, she didn't dare to resist, and she pouted with a reluctant face.
Ye Tingchen smiled at the moon, when did this kid have so many emotions, isn't it good to follow him.
The wind, flowers, and snow are no longer strange, and everyone in the world knows that the master loves the moon the most.
There is no further delay, everyone is going to take action, and it is better to solve this matter as soon as possible, the more time passes, the more complicated it becomes.
Although Shen Mo followed the voice to the western suburbs last time, he found nothing. This time she decided to be ready to go to the market again.
He instructed the ten family members to carry three large bags of flour each, and set off together for the western suburbs in the early hours of the morning.
"Sprinkle all this flour evenly all over this suburb, the flour is not enough to carry, it must be scattered, and most importantly, do not leave any traces, especially footprints!"
He said silently, and took out a bag of silver from his bosom and put it on Tulong, so that the family members could see it clearly.
These family members are all family members who have helped Shen Mo 5831 move things from the ground, and they all know that Shen Mo, as the eldest lady of the Shen family, has always spoken and counted, and rewards and punishments are clear, and she will get a lot of rewards for working for her.
"Miss, don't worry, we all understand what you explained."
The leading family member was the one who dug up the soil and splashed Shen Yan with a foot of soil at that time, and he remembered that Shen Mo was relieved of the siege for him.
Shen Mo listened and nodded, and walked out of the suburbs.
Looking at the time, it is estimated that it should be just right after sprinkling this flour. Silently looked along this suburb, the terrain here is flat and it is not easy to hide, if someone was really killed here, I am afraid this is not the first scene.
Although it is sparsely populated and rarely frequented, it is easy to spot something happening in the open space during the day.
But recalling these two calls for help, they were all in broad daylight, and if it is said that these two people were killed in the western suburbs, I am afraid it is unlikely.
Thinking about the headache, silently patted his head. I can't get rid of my nosy problem.
Finally, when the sky was just dawning, the family members had completed their tasks, and the flour was evenly sprinkled.
handed the reward to the leading family members, told them to divide it equally, and then let them go directly back to the Shen Mansion.
Before leaving, she silently dragged the leading family, and she still had to give instructions for something.
"After I go back, make up for the missing flour, and when Mrs. Yuan and the second lady ask, they say that I have helped the victims."
Shen Mo was already under Shen Li's strict supervision now, but Shen Li only came back at night every day, so as long as the Yuan clan and Shen Yan didn't talk much, they wouldn't go out for anything.
"Don't worry, Miss, I will never say a word more if others don't ask, and if I ask, I will say what Miss ordered."
This family's name is Li Qing, he has always valued love and righteousness, he has been coldly ridiculed in the Shen Mansion, only the eldest lady of the Shen family silently treats him as an equal. This also made him absolutely obedient to the silent order, without any second thoughts.
"Okay, go back quickly, this is for you, go back and change new clothes for your mother."
Shen Mo secretly stuffed a silver ingot into Li Qing's hand, she knew that Li Qing had a mother in the family, so the money could be regarded as letting him honor his mother.
Li Qing was even more moved when he saw that the eldest lady still cared about her family affairs.
Arrange these family members to leave, and silently decided to guard this western suburb today, and if there is any trouble, they can quickly pursue.
And now that the weather is getting colder and colder, people don't choose to go out much, and even if they do, they won't choose the desolate western suburbs, so as long as there is movement in the western suburbs, something must happen.
Shen Mo decided to find a nearby teahouse and drink tea to warm up. This body of oneself is precious, and if you accidentally suffer from the wind and cold, your spiritual power will also be damaged.
"Boss, come to the pot of good Longjing."
Shen Mo chose a teahouse where you can see the western suburbs through the window, and you can monitor the changes in the western suburbs at any time while sitting in the hall, and if you hear a strange sound, you can run over as quickly as possible.
"Okay, wait a minute."
Because this teahouse is located in the middle of the western suburbs and the capital, there are not many customers coming and going, and the daily business is not so prosperous. Seeing Shen Mo entering the house, the hospitality was also very warm.
"Your tea is here, please use it slowly, you can call me if you have something."
Xiao Er, who served the tea, was very polite, and did not ignore the silence at all because of the bleak business in the store.
Smiled politely and took the tea. There was a sip of drinking, and his eyes kept looking at the western suburbs.
After a while, two people came into the teahouse, looking like businessmen in a hurry, with a chill on their bodies.
Shen Mo glanced at it, but he didn't pay attention, after all, the most important thing now is to monitor the situation in the western suburbs.
"Brother, this business has been getting harder and harder lately. If you put more pressure on me, I'm going to strike. ”
The man in black complained to the man in red.
Maybe it was because of the unhappiness in his heart, or maybe there were not many customers in the teahouse, the man in black spoke loudly and directly into the silent ears.
Because of the silence that is very sensitive to sound, such a loud volume is tantamount to a loud noise, rubbing his ears impatiently and turning around.
"Don't worry, brother, sit down first. Xiao Er, it's still the same. ”
The man in red was more mature, comforted the man in black, and beckoned Xiao Er to tea.
"Okay, wait a minute, come right away."
Xiao Er ran to the back kitchen as soon as he slipped a cigarette, and after a while, a plate of things was served. There is not only tea and wine, but also men's favorite wine and meat dishes.
"Brother, it's not my brother who forced you, this person was thrown from you, which is equivalent to smashing your own hands, and no one can complain."
The man in red filled the glass with wine and handed it to the man in black.
"You said that in this realm, who doesn't know how powerful Singh Ba is, it's that the dog's head doesn't have long eyes and crashes into it, causing me to lose five hundred taels directly!"
The man in black had regret in his eyes, and sighed that the five hundred taels that he would get soon were gone, and he was really unwilling.
"Hey, but it's also true, it's a pity that you can't talk about such a high price!"
The man in red couldn't stop shaking his head and sighed.
Shen Mo looked at the two people who were drinking and eating, listening to the names of people they didn't understand, what Singh Ba, how could anyone take such a strange name, it was as strange as when he heard Zhuntur.
Thinking of the day he was chased and lost, Juntoul also sent himself home, thinking about how terrible the situation was at that time, if those killers chased after him, it is estimated that his life would be lost now.
When Shen Mo came back to his senses, the two men who drank and ate meat had already left the teahouse, and Xiao Er was cleaning up the table.
"Xiao Er, what did you say those two people were doing just now, how did they open and close their mouths for millions?"
Shen Mo leaned over and chatted with Xiao Er, who was working, anyway, there were no other guests except her now, and it didn't matter if she talked.
Xiao Er secretly glanced at the boss and found that he was dialing the abacus to collect the accounts, and then answered the silent question.
"You said that the two bosses just now, in fact, they are not from our Shuxia Kingdom."
Xiao Er said to Shen Mo that the two people often go back and forth between the western suburbs and the capital, and every time they pass by, they will order some wine and food, and over time, Xiao Er has become familiar with their wine and food, and they will be ready every time they come.
"Not from the Shuxia Kingdom? Then why do they wear the clothes of the people of Shuxia and still speak fluent Shuxia Chinese? ”
Shen Mo instantly became interested, and looked at the two men dressed as businessmen just now, who were actually not from Shuxia Kingdom.
"No, they, in fact, came from the Northern Desert Country to do business in our Shuxia Country. In order to make our money better, they specially dressed the same as us and said the same as us. ”
Xiao Er pouted, in fact, he also wanted to do business and make a lot of money like those businessmen, so he didn't want to be a shopkeeper in this tavern for a lifetime.
"And what kind of business are they doing?"
Shen Mo just heard the man in black say that he had lost five hundred taels of silver, which was something that ordinary people could not earn in a lifetime, and even the last time he treated Liu Yun of Wu Wangfu, he only got one thousand taels of Ye Tingchen.
"They never say what kind of business they do, but I listen, they can make a few hundred taels back and forth!"
After Xiao Er finished speaking, he went down with the tableware he had cleaned up, and Shen Mo returned to his seat.
But Shen Mo couldn't figure out how to think about it, what kind of business could make a few hundred taels of silver back and forth, if he could, he should really stop them just now and ask for a way to make money.
I've been sitting in this teahouse for a few hours, and the boss is kind enough to see that there are no customers in the store and don't care about silence.
It was almost the time to hear the first two calls for help, and he silently drank the rest of the tea in one gulp, staring intently at the western suburbs.
Sure enough, around this time, there was the sound of noisy footsteps and the sobbing of a woman in Shen Mo's ears.
Without hesitation, Shen Mo rushed directly in the direction of the western suburbs of Jianbu Zhang, and when she rushed over, she found that there was only a team of carriages moving here.
"What people!"
The man driving the carriage saw that someone was inexplicably chasing after him and blocking the car, and immediately yelled at Shen Mo angrily.
"I heard a woman's cry just now, was it in your carriage?"
Shen Mo looked at the man in the carriage, and he didn't look like a good person at all, and he didn't have any politeness to him.
"Crying, I'm afraid you heard it wrong, my ears are so good that I don't hear any crying!"
The man's face was full of flesh, and his hand was still pointing at Shen Mo.
Shen Mo didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he ran directly to the back of the carriage and lifted the curtain of the carriage.
A man and a woman were hugging each other in the carriage, and Shen Mo met the eyes of the man who was facing him, and he was so ashamed that Shen Mo hurriedly lowered the curtain.
"Are you a crazy woman, just look at other people's carriages, if you are not in a hurry, you will definitely be sent to the county office!"
The man driving the car grabbed the reins and ran straight away, leaving the silent field of vision directly.
Seeing his plan ruined, Shen Mo was upset.
Alone with the flour of the passing carriage re-spreading, Shen Mo intended to start squatting again.
In the study of Wu Wangfu, Feng is reporting his findings to Ye Tingchen.
"Master, there are a total of one hundred and nineteen missing people in the capital, and fifty-five are young women. I also counted the family background and usage time of these missing women, and found two things in common. ”
"Say."
When Ye Tingchen heard this data, it was like a big stone hanging in his heart, and he couldn't breathe in his heart.
"These fifty-five women are all from the capital and its surrounding families, all under the age of fifteen, and their faces are beautiful. The disappearances have been concentrated in the past year, with the most recent disappearance being three days ago. ”
Ye Tingchen pondered, judging from the results of Feng's investigation, it is enough to explain that the disappearance of these young women is no accident. The youngest daughter of the Wang family that he saved yesterday may be the last victim so far.
But in the past year, there have been an endless stream of disappearances, and the little daughter of the Wang family is definitely not their last target, and they will definitely look for new prey.
"What about the flowers and snow, do they have any results?"
Ye Tingchen wants to collect all the news, so that he can judge accurately.
"Back to the master, the flowers and snow have been running around and haven't come back yet."
Ye Tingchen nodded, this matter is too huge, if you make a rash move, I am afraid that it will startle the snake. It's better to wait for the matter to be investigated and found out in one net.
In Changshan, the old ghost walked around anxiously, clenching his fists and patting his chest for a while, disturbing Chen Xiling, who was reading, upset.
"Old man, if you're worried, go down the mountain and follow!"
Chen Xiling pouted, this old man really took silence as a baby pimple, and he was so worried about it after only a day, and he couldn't worry.
"You stinky boy, so silent is also your junior sister, how can you ignore it! Haven't you been taught the most fundamental meaning of human nature? ”
Chen Xiling rolled his eyes at the old ghost, when did the people agree to be his apprentice.
"No, Shen Mo, this girl is too impulsive, and her spiritual power can't be controlled, the Shen family doesn't have a good thing, I have to help her."
Saying that, the old ghost left on his own, and immediately went to pack his things and prepare to go down the mountain to find Shen Mo.
Chen Xiling shook his head helplessly, so he had to put down the book in his hand and go down the mountain with him. He, the master, is always so nervous, remembering that one play is another.
When the two of them arrived at the Shen Mansion, they found no trace of Shen Mo.
"Why don't you see the silent girl?"
The old ghost really heard that when Shen Mo went down the mountain, he said that he was going back to the Shen Mansion to solve the matter, so he naturally thought that she was coming back to deal with her and the Yuan family, after all, he told her about the existence of the jade bracelet.
Just as the two of them were wondering, they found that Shen Mo came from a distance, hanging his head like a frosted eggplant.
The old ghost ignored Chen Xiling, a former baby apprentice who was still beside him, and ran directly towards Shen Mo like a 100-meter sprint.
Seeming to be used to being ignored, Chen Xiling shook his head helplessly and followed.
"My precious apprentice, what's wrong with you? Is something wrong? ”
The old ghost pulled Shen Mo to look left and right, and found that there was nothing unusual, so he was relieved.
"It's nothing, it's just that things didn't go well today."
Shen Mo squatted in the western suburbs for a day, and he didn't even see anything alive except for the carriage.
"Your senior brother and I are too worried about you, so I will go down the mountain to find you, if you need help, we will definitely go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire."
After listening to the old ghost's words, Chen Xiling was about to vomit blood, he didn't want to go up to the sword mountain and down to the sea of fire, if he wanted to go, he would go by himself, he just wanted to live well now.
smiled silently, this old ghost was inevitably too good to himself, knowing that he wanted to accept himself as an apprentice, but he didn't have to be good to her like this.
"I'm just too worried about you, your body hasn't fully recovered, and your spiritual power is not easy to control, I'm afraid that something will happen to you."
The old ghost also knew that he had just joked a little too much, and reexplained to Shen Mo.
"Let's go back to Jinyuting and say it, there are many people here, and it's easy to provoke right and wrong."
Shen Mo directly took the old ghost and Chen Xiling back to the Shen Mansion.
Today, Shen Li was sent to go out to investigate, and I am afraid that she will not be able to come back in ten days, so Shen Mo does not have to worry that Shen Li will stop her from doing something.
When he arrived at the Golden Jade Pavilion, Shen Mo picked up the cup and poured water for the old ghost and Chen Xiling, and suddenly remembered that he had discovered his spiritual power yesterday, and it happened that the old ghost came to see him, and now he could ask him what was going on.
After carrying the water, he sat silently next to the old ghost.
"I crushed two cups yesterday, with my bare hands."
