Chapter 23: The Dead Mouse
It turned out that half a month ago, when Chen Jincai took Wang Lun and others to rescue Zhang Laojiao's family, he left the name of the beggar to help Ma Dayuan, but he suffered those Kaifeng Mansion officials and soldiers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Gao Taiwei's son was wronged, and he had to get it back, so this big ticket rushed into the ground, but he was stunned before he saw anyone, and was killed a lot in the dark with a knife.
Later, Chen Jincai touched them and brought out the remaining 300 people who died, and when he left, the leader asked him to leave a name, so that he could know who helped him and his soldiers.
As a result, Chen Jincai left the name of Qiao Feng, the leader of the beggar gang.
Affected by this setback, the government was also afraid, and more than 200 people died at once, and they didn't even see the face of the enemy.
Captain Gao is no longer interested in going underground, why do you say? It's not Chen Jincai who left behind when he came out with those remnants of the defeated soldiers, letting them know that the beggars and the people in the rat hole are not the same way.
Since that's not an enemy, why go in and find a smoke! As for the 200 officers and soldiers who died underground, who knows whom!
As for whether the underground rats are harming one party, which official is willing to take care of so much, besides, Captain Gao is from the military, and local affairs have to be managed by Kaifeng Prefecture.
Therefore, they all fell silent, just like the countless previous purges, because of the mystery of the underground world, the filthy people who nested inside escaped again.
Originally, things were calm, but as soon as things were calm, Chen Jincai took the children out of the tunnel, and after warning a few children not to tell others about the things in the tunnel, he ignored them.
Originally, after saving Zhang Jiaotou's family, Chen Jincai was ready to take them back to Lanzhou together, although Lanzhou is not very peaceful now, but it is precisely that kind of restlessness that is enough for him to arrange development.
Stay in Kaifeng? Do you stay here and wait for death, for another six or seven years, the golden soldiers will besiege the city, how many will survive after the catastrophe?
However, the old sect leader Zhang was too seriously injured, and the blood flowed a little too much, although Chen Jincai had quickly stopped the bleeding at that time, but he still lost a little more blood, and there were also old lady Zhang and Jin'er, and there were a lot of wounds on the two of them, so they had to nurse the injuries in the tunnel.
Everything was fine, until almost half a month later, the old sect leader's injuries had been healed, and Chen Jincai was about to get the old sect leader out of the city when a major incident occurred.
Several children went out to play together, and only one fox came back, and when you heard the cry of the fox, you knew that something had happened to these children.
Without saying a word, they picked up their weapons and took Wang Lun out, and came to a courtyard with the fox.
This is not the time to be polite, so two people rushed behind them, and these two men had good leaping skills, and it was said that they could run parallel to the galloping horses for a short distance, and when they were tired, they could jump on the fast horses that were running.
The one-zhang high courtyard wall couldn't stop the two people, ran, and after kicking the wall twice, they grabbed the wall with their hands, and the two hands went up, and after carefully looking at the wall, they jumped down and opened the door.
Entering the door, Chen Jincai, who was anxious, found that there was no one in the courtyard, and the fox was crying anxiously on the side, running in as he called.
When he came to a water tank, the fox desperately clawed at the mud under the tank.
The water tank is very large and heavy, but in front of Chen Jincai, it is not much heavier than a bucket.
When he moved the water tank, he saw a hole that was entering diagonally, the hole was very deep, and the fox wanted to rush into it when he saw the hole, but Chen Jincai reached out and grabbed it.
He took out a cloth belt and put it on the fox, and said, "You can't run too fast, we can't catch up with you if you run too fast, and if you get lost, we won't be able to find the children." ”
The fox whispered twice and didn't run fast, but Chen Jincai still took the end of the cloth belt in his hand: "Let's go!" Take us to the kids! ”
When the fox got permission, he hurriedly walked inside, pulling the strip of cloth tightly.
looked at the dark passage, and looked at Wang Lun and the others who took out the fire fold to illuminate behind him, but it was almost equal to nothing.
Chen Jincai said softly: "Tear the coat into a rope, and use the rope to connect several people together, so as not to get separated, we don't dare to follow in the footsteps of the officers and soldiers!" More than 200 of them died. ”
"That's nothing to a petty official! You must know that last time you came in and brought these officers and soldiers back to the ground. Wang Lun said with a smile.
A person behind him suddenly said: "Brother Wang, I heard that everyone here in Tokyo City is called Dalang, and it seems that the little officials are very rural." ”
"Then it's called Da Lang, I can't let the people of Tokyo look rustic about us, what do you think?" Wang Lun was not slow to move his hands as he spoke, and after a while, he and several brothers tore their clothes into strips and joined them together.
"It doesn't matter what it's called, the most important thing is that your rope should be strong, so that it doesn't fall apart as you walk." Chen Jincai watched them get the rope straight, then picked up one end and walked in.
It's been almost an hour since the children have been caught here, and if they don't hurry, what if they move the children away.
Wang Lun saw that Chen Jincai was in a hurry, so he stopped talking, and held a short knife in his hand (that is, a single knife later said, a short knife more than one meter long, a dagger-like long knife called a short knife, and a long handle called a long knife).
The tunnel is very wide, higher than a person, and a person can walk straight inside, but if you take a long blade, you can't turn around.
The group walked in a hurry, and walked through many forks in the road, when suddenly the fox lay on the ground and moved gently and slowly.
Chen Jin saw that there was an enemy in front of him, patted the fox's head and told it to wait here, and by the way, he also stopped Wang Lun and them from going further.
He took a few steps forward with his great sword in hand, and at a fork in the corner he saw a table under two torches, and two people were sitting at the edge of the table, drinking there.
Next to the two people who were drinking, there were two short knives against the wall.
It seems that these two are the gatekeepers here.
"Come on...... Drink! Zhang San was lucky today, and took someone to catch a few little dolls, and there was an eight- or nine-year-old female doll in the middle who was very tender and looked good.
This is sold to those secret doors, trained for a few years, and came out with another Master Li, that is, those male dolls, broke their hands and feet, their tongues were gouged out, and they were thrown in Tokyo City to ask for food, and they could get a lot a year, it seems that Zhang San made a fortune this time! ”
"That is, the little doll used to be easier to catch, but recently there are children in this family are guarded tightly, if you don't go to the farm outside the city, it's really difficult to catch the little doll, but the farm doll has no money at home!
You can only make money by breaking your hands and feet and throwing them in the jar for half a year, but the children that Zhang San caught back today are all rich children, and if you make meat tickets, you should be able to exchange a lot of money back, and you will lose money if you break your hands and feet to be a beggar.
To tell the truth, I didn't make as much money as Zhang San made ten trips today! ”
(From ancient times to the present, if the family can't redeem the child after the traffickers abduct the child, there are usually only three consequences, one is to sell it to others to raise, this kind of some in modern times, in ancient times, even if they have no children, they will find their own brother's children to pass by, and few people buy children to raise as children, basically no.)
The second type, handsome, women can be sold to those mothers-in-law who specialize in training in the Qing Pavilion, these mothers-in-law will use means to make her submit after buying a female baby, and then train piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and sell them to Qinglou after completing their studies.
Male babies can be sold to men's style halls, these were available in ancient times, especially in the Tang and Song dynasties, and it is not surprising that those perverted times were a little perverted.
The third type, which is also the most common one, is not handsome, if there is no hurry, they will put the child in a jar to raise, raise it for half a year and a year, and the whole body is in the jar only the head is exposed,
After half a year, the child's body will be very small and deformed except for the normal head, and there will be many sympathetic people who sympathize with such deformed people after throwing them on the street, and they can make money very much.
If you don't have that technology, you also need technology, what will happen if you don't have technology? They will break the child's hands and feet, or gouge out the child's eyes, and leave them untreated.
Half a year later, the child was crippled, and this kind of child is also very sympathetic to others, and his earning ability is also good.
And this kind has never been broken from ancient times to the present, so in modern times, people often see the strange disabled people begging on the subway, square, and next to the street, how do these disabled people come?
So I advise you not to give alms when you see beggars, maybe there are really natural disabled beggars in this world who are not deliberately disabled by others, but most of them are known to everyone.
There is only that sentence, there is no harm if there is no benefit, as long as the beggar can't get money, there will be less abduction and trafficking of children to become disabled begging, so when you see a beggar, don't give money, be a truly caring person)
