Chapter 117: Orphans
Mo Wen, as the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, has not been ashamed for a long time, so when Li Ang ordered someone to send the portrait found by the Romans to him, he felt a great shame, the Jinyi Wei actually compared intelligence in Chang'an, and he couldn't compare to those white barbarians in Haixi.
"No matter how many people you use, I must dig out the identity of this person, including everyone he knows." Looking at a few capable subordinates, Li Mowen put the portrait on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "Also, from now on, strengthen the investigation of the Romans." ”
Also feeling ashamed of Li Mowen was Zhu Ting, who also gave a strict order, and almost all the spies of the Suppression Division began to find out the details of the Han people on the portrait.
In the tent, Trist made a detailed list of orphanages opened by various gangs in Chang'an and put it in front of Li Ang. Looking at that list, Leon couldn't imagine that so many gangs actually opened orphanages.
"Basically, the orphans in these orphanages, the women will be sold into brothels, and the men will be used as helpers or sent to the West Market to work as coolies." Trist said quietly.
"Most of these gangs have some forces behind them, and they are extremely cunning, it is difficult for the Northern Lieutenant and the Iron Capture Battalion to catch their handles, and many times they have been in vain."
"Feng Sha, Qin Feng, Li Yanzong, go and gather your own team." Li Ang stood up suddenly, looked at the three people behind him, and said in a deep voice, he had decided to destroy the orphanage opened by the gang.
"Whoa." Li Yanzong and the others answered loudly, and they had already walked out of the camp quickly. Each of them rushed to his own team and gathered his soldiers. When they listened to Trist's speech, they had already held back the fire in their bellies.
"Childe, if you do this, will you provoke the people behind those gangs?" Trist looked at Leon who had made a decision, and asked with a frown, although he also wanted to destroy the orphanage opened by the gang. But he didn't want Leon to make a big enemy because of this.
"Acui, I have chosen to stand on the big ship of the military hall, so it doesn't matter to me to offend those people." Leon knew what Trist's worries were, and he sneered, "Since the Persians have bribed the Han Chinese to be secret agents, I think those scum have also been bribed!" ”
Listening to Leon's words, Trist already understood that Leon wanted to get those gangs involved with the Persians, like that. The people behind those gangs won't jump out randomly.
"Ah Cui, you go to Lu Sheng and Zhao Lie from Taixue first. Tell them about it, go home again, and let Siniang and Fengshuang gather their young ladies and go to those orphanages to have a look. ”
Listening to Leon's words, Trist realized that he was overly worried, and Leon had already thought about what to do. Mixing those sons and young ladies of the family, who dares to say anything, it's really amazing.
In a short time, the team of 300 people was ready to go, all of them were wearing the uniforms of the Black Cavalry, wearing horizontal knives at their waists, and they were murderous.
Li Ang entered Chang'an City with three hundred men. First, head straight to the west of the city, where one of the largest gangs is located. There are nearly 300 orphans in it, most of whom are girls, mainly sold to Qinglou in Chang'an City, or to some people with special hobbies.
In front of Xicheng District, Lu Sheng and Zhao Lie rushed over with a large group of children of the family, and they arrived at the same time as Feng Siniang, Lin Fengshuang and their group of young ladies of the family, and they were all stunned when they saw the army exuding murderous aura.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to come today, just to ask you to be a witness." Li Ang looked at the children and ladies of the family, arched his hand, and then asked Li Yanzong and the others, who had already controlled the surroundings of the orphanage, to do it.
The soldiers in groups of five either forced their way through the main gate or climbed through the walls, but in short, these strong soldiers did not give the gang that was guarding the children the slightest chance to resist, and knocked them all down.
Seeing Li Yanzong who was gesticulating, Li Ang looked at Lu Sheng and Zhao Lie, "Everyone, come with me!" As he spoke, he strode towards the orphanage in the distance, and the children of the family, as well as the young ladies who were with Feng Siniang, followed him into the orphanage.
The girl with dull eyes, ragged clothes, and marks of beating on her body shocked the children of the family who had never been to Xicheng, they had never lived in the sun, and had never seen such a miserable scene.
Li Ang didn't say anything, just took Lu Sheng and them through the orphanage one by one. "Lord." Li Yanzong walked over with a pale face, he whispered in Li Ang's ear what he and his subordinates had found, and the tendons of his hand holding the knife jumped suddenly, and the whole person desperately suppressed his anger.
There was a sound of beating in the distance, Lu Sheng, Zhao Lie, those children of the family, and those young ladies all looked at Li Ang with some fear, not knowing why his eyes suddenly became so fierce and solemn.
Leon still didn't say a word, just led everyone into the courtyard in front of them, and then everyone was frightened, and they saw a few red-eyed soldiers beating a few gang-like men, who had been beaten to a bloody pulp, and only a few breaths remained.
"Enough, remember who you are, you are soldiers, and soldiers should kill enemies on the battlefield." Leon drank the soldiers. Hearing his voice, the soldiers let go of these scumbags, they got out of the way, and then Lu Sheng and they saw the corpses in the dark room, the corpses of those ** girls.
Several young ladies of the family who had never seen such a scene turned dead white, "How can there be such a thing?" How could there be such a thing? They muttered to themselves, as if they had lost their souls.
"I'm going to kill these wretchs!" Lu Sheng suddenly roared angrily, and he rushed straight to those who were already angry and had not much left to help, and those children of the family were also red-eyed, and they all stepped forward to kill these scumbags.
Li Ang asked the soldiers to stop them, and said coldly, "Great Qin has its own laws, and I have already ordered someone to invite the Northern Captain's Capture Battalion to come over, I just hope you can testify." Don't let this go unchecked. ”
"There are sixteen more such places, and I have sent people to save the children. Do you want to come with me? Li Ang looked at the pale faces of the family children in front of him and the few low-crying Gaomen ladies, and asked in a deep voice.
"Brother Li, I'm really
I saw something like that! Zhao Lie lowered his head, his voice was hoarse, his younger brother and those young ladies all lowered their heads, and their hearts had not yet recovered from such a shock.
Not for a while. The northern lieutenant's arrest is about to arrive, and these arresters are stunned when they see those black soldiers, they didn't expect that this time it was the army that actually sent out those gangs, when they saw those dull-eyed girls, and a group of red-eyed children of the family, they knew that this time the matter was big.
The trappers took all the gangs in the orphanage, kicked and beat them, and escorted them into the street, when the people who were alarmed all around rushed to find out what was going on. They all picked up the stones on the ground and threw them at the gangs.
"Brother Lu, I want to trouble you to send these children to the orphanage run by the Imperial Dynasty. I think you know what I mean? Li Ang looked at Lu Sheng and the group of children of the family.
"Brother Li, I understand what you mean, I will definitely let those people take good care of these children." Lu Shengdi's eyes were still angry, and there were still some bloodshots left, which looked a little scary.
That day. In Chang'an City, the orphanage of the sixteen gangs was all rescued under the strong attack of the soldiers assigned by Li Ang, and there were even fierce fights in several places where Li Ang was not there, and those gangs who did not want to be exposed to scandal launched an attack on those soldiers after learning the news, which directly led to the death of someone.
The next day, under the influence of the children of the family, the affairs of the gang orphanage appeared in the major newspapers in Chang'an. After those eldest ladies of the family went back, they exerted influence on their fathers. So these things were stabbed to the court, and even to the ears of the emperor.
In the White Tiger Festival Hall, Guo Ran and Zhou Ting were drinking tea and playing chess, looking quite leisurely, and after putting a son, Zhou Ting suddenly said to Guo Ran, "What do you mean by that kid doing this?" ”
"Now the people in the entire Chang'an City are paying attention to the affairs of those gang orphanages, but not many people care about the affairs of the Persians." Guo Ran stared at the chessboard, put down his chess pieces, frowned and said, "But I think it was his intention to rescue those orphans." ”
"I think so, too." Zhou Ting smiled and said, "That young man is very special, jealous and hateful, but he is not as brainless as ordinary children of the family, he does everything without leakage, although he is still a little immature, but he is much stronger than when we were young, I am really a little jealous of this kid!" ”
"I heard that those little guys who studied Taixue recently went to Jing Zhaoyin to shout slogans and ask him to get out, I think he must have hated that kid so much!" Zhou Ting took a sip of tea and dropped a piece on the chessboard.
"The surname Jin should have gotten out a long time ago, if we hadn't been able to meddle in government affairs, I would have asked him to go to Lingnan to build roads." Guo Ran glanced at the chess game and said lightly, "That kid is doing this, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very interested in him, and I hope he will make a good impression on the Prince." ”
"Although the prince said that he likes to write things, he is not confused, and he understands it in his heart!" Zhou Ting looked at Guo Ran and said, "If those people in the cabinet really think that after the crown prince ascends the throne, they will let them talk nonsense, I guarantee that they will be unlucky." ”
"On the prince's side, you really don't have to worry too much, the only place to worry about now is the north, although the Dingxiang Zhichong Mansion has been established, we have also cut off such a large piece of land from the Turks, but their 400,000 cavalry is still there, if the Northern Han Huns secretly support them behind their backs and give them 200,000 iron cavalry equipment, I am afraid that this battle will not be so easy." Guo Ran suddenly sighed and said, "Our army has lost nearly 650,000 in the past 30 years, and it will take some time to recover!" ”
"Yes, so many people have to be re-recruited and trained, not for ten years, I'm afraid..." Zhou Ting shook his head, and then his gaze sharpened, "So the war with Persia next year must be quickly resolved and fought fiercely, in order to deter those small countries with evil intentions." ”
"Persians, it shouldn't be too troublesome, I don't believe that the two countries of them will work against our Great Qin." Guo Ran snorted coldly, "At that time, as long as you beat Persia badly, there will be ghosts in Persia if you don't take the opportunity to take advantage." ”
In the Sima family's mansion, Sima Yuanan, the provincial prime minister of Chaomen, looked at the so-called report and sneered, what does it mean to find out that those gangs have colluded with the Persians, so they sent troops, and the document report of the military hall intended to exonerate the poor boy is also too fake, they are really fools.
"Big brother, don't be angry, don't be angry, whatever the military hall likes, it's up to them to do it." In the study, Sima Yuanrang, who was sitting and drinking tea, looked at his brother who was standing and persuaded.
"I'm not angry, I'm just thinking, that poor boy dares to do this, who is behind him." Sima Yuanan looked at the report on the table again and said in a deep voice.
"That's naturally the old fox surnamed Guo, it's not been a day or two that he wants to deal with our Sima family, that kid is a subordinate of his descendant who supports him, if he dares to do that, he must be under his orders." Sima Yuanrang took a sip of tea and guessed.
"The surname Guo won't do such an conspicuous thing, it won't be instructed by him." Sima Yuanan looked at his brother and frowned, "I know him too well, if he dares to make such an open move, it means that he has complete confidence in completely defeating the enemy." ”
"Could it be Your Majesty?" Sima Yuan put down the teacup suddenly, and his brows furrowed, "That kid is the Black Lance Dragon Xiangwei Qianhu given by His Majesty, His Majesty has found a lot of poor disciples like him to cultivate in the past few years, could it be Your Majesty..."
"Well, it's quite possible." Sima Yuanan looked at his brother, "Give me an order, let the people below give me some points, if anyone goes out to make trouble with the name of the Sima family again, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
"I see, big brother, some of the people down there are indeed going too far." Sima Yuanrang nodded and exited the study, he knew that his brother needed to be quiet and think about something.
"Born in a humble family, Your Majesty, what do you want to do?" Thinking of the emperor in the palace, Sima Yuanan couldn't help but shudder, maybe many people have forgotten the ruthlessness of the emperor on the battlefield when he was still the prince, but he will never forget, maybe it's time for the children under his door to restrain himself, he thought so and closed his eyes
