Chapter 225: One Ten Thousand Taels

Xiao Er really wanted to raise his head and say what kind of character is my master, is it you who you can see if you want to see it? But looking at the delicate token in front of him, Xiao Er's eyes shrank slightly. No one can afford to mess with either end......

After hesitating for a moment, a humble smile bloomed on Xiao Er's face, "How many officials...... Please inside, the villain will inform you. ”

The three of them were taken to the side hall of the Dongcheng Yaxing, and then Xiao Er left with a bang.

The five children were a little nervous, if it weren't for the big hand holding Gai Yinglu's sword in their hands, they might have been so frightened that they would run away. But a few children also know that they can't run far if they run.

In the past few days on the run, they have been afraid. It's not just that they are afraid of starvation, the most important thing is that they know that after escaping, they will be caught and end up miserable. I heard the head of the snake say that if he is caught by the tooth shop, he will be broken his hands and feet, and then sold to Hanako to beg.

Lai Chuntao didn't let Lu Sheng wait long, and soon, the pot-bellied Lai Chuntao walked in a figure-of-eight step. When he saw Lu Sheng and the others, his steps paused, and his eyes flashed with essence.

For a businessman like him who walks the line between black and white, both black and white must be honored. The officials of Tongnan Mansion have basically been dotted by him. I originally thought that I had forgotten which yamen family came to ask for money, but when I saw Lu Sheng's three people, I immediately realized that these three people were very face-to-face.

It's all because Xiao Er didn't make it clear, but it was three people from the government and yamen who came from outside. But the people of the government and the yamen, who he didn't know Lai Chuntao, and who didn't know him Lai Chuntao? These three were obviously not any of the yamen he knew.

"Hahaha...... The three officials came, and the grass people were far away, and they were far away......"

"Are you Lai Chuntao?" Lu Sheng didn't have the slightest posture to get up, his face turned slightly sideways, and he looked at Lai Chuntao with a smile.

Lai Chuntao's eyes flashed, and he swept over the five children intentionally or unintentionally. calmly came to Lu Sheng and sat down, "Yes, the grass people are Lai Chuntao, I don't know which yamen the three officials are from?"

"Tongnan Mansion Criminal Division!"

"Punishment Division?" Lai Chuntao's eyes flickered faster.

If you want to change to someone else, I am afraid that I will be confused when I hear the criminal department. But Lai Chuntao is also a person with good hands and eyes in Tongnan Mansion. The day before yesterday, I just delivered the news from the Festival Envoy's Mansion that there was a person who was not easy to mess with in Tongnan Mansion. Although he didn't know how to mess with him, he thought it was the criminal division.

"Disrespectful and disrespectful, what do you call adults?

"The official's surname is Lu, and the reprimand is serious, just to ask Boss Lai about something. ”

"Lord Lu, please ask, the grass people know everything. ”

"Boss Lai, I heard that you started fifteen years ago and received a commendation for reporting the case of child abduction and trafficking in the Seven Great Tooth Shops. This official wants to inquire about the child abduction and trafficking case back then. ”

Although Lai Chuntao had a smile on his face, there were already huge waves in his heart. His face was silent, but his heart had already been raised.

"My lord, it's been so long since that case...... I'm afraid I can't remember much anymore......"

"If this kind of thing happens to anyone, I'm afraid it will be remembered for the rest of your life, right? How did you find out about those children?"

"The little guy who was in Dongsheng Yaxing that year, that night, the wind was fierce, and the eye of the wind seemed to strike. However, Dongsheng Dental Store is in a hurry to ship in this weather, which has to take a big risk.

It was dark very early that day, and the little one was in charge of cargo handling in Lusi Port. That day, it was said that it was cloth dyeing that was brought on board, but when we carried the box, we felt that it was a living creature inside.

The villain kept an eye on it and deliberately accidentally fell. There was a thud in the box, and there were traces of struggle. In addition, at that time, the case of the child's disappearance was panicked, and the villain guessed that the eight achievements were true. ”

"So you went to the government to report the crime? But I remember...... It's the middle of the night when you go to report the crime. ”

"Yes, it's the middle of the night. The villain is just a small person, if the box is really those missing children, the villain will go to the government immediately, I am afraid that he will be killed halfway before he reaches the yamen.

So the villain waited until he got off work, and then went home first, and waited until midnight to secretly go to the government from the back door to report. ”

Lu Sheng stared at Lai Chuntao's expression, unable to see the slightest hesitation. But this does not mean that what Lai Chuntao said is true. After fifteen years, this set of rhetoric has been tempered thousands of times, and it has even been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

I'm afraid that even Lai Chuntao himself believes that this is true. The rhetoric is seamless, fits the actual situation, and can be concluded to be reasonable.

But Lu Sheng has already affirmed that the case back then was definitely not done by the Seven Great Tooth Banks. In such a reverse extrapolation, the more reasonable it is, the more certain Lu Sheng is that Lai Chuntao has a problem. If it weren't for the participants, where would such a plausible explanation come from?

"Your luck is really good......" Lu Sheng said with a smile.

"Good luck?" Lai Chuntao looked at Lu Sheng suspiciously, "What do you mean by this?"

"First, transporting children to sea, such an important matter must be handed over to your own henchmen. Even if you don't have someone you absolutely trust, you should be a participant. And you, or the porter with you, don't know what Dongsheng Dental has done? Is Dongsheng Dental too careless, or is your luck too good?

Second, except for you, none of the other laborers involved in the transportation found that the box was a living thing. And their unified testimony is that one box of goods is two hundred catties. And the size of the box is definitely not enough to hold more than three children.

For a six- or seven-year-old child, one person weighs only about 30 catties, and three is no more than 100 catties. Unless, they can fold the children neatly and neatly, leaving no gaps.

Third, even if Dongsheng Yaxing uses you, who don't know the roots. But out of an abundance of caution, I don't think I'll let you go home so safely. At the very least, you will not be released from house arrest or supervisor until the ship leaves the port smoothly and is safe.

And you, after moving the goods, you can go home directly, obviously Dongsheng Yaxing is not wary of you. And the last point, before the fleet went to sea, Dongsheng Yaxing did urgently pick up a batch of goods, and that batch of goods was indeed cloth dyeing. Although I don't know why they risked the typhoon to let them ship, the fact is that the shipment did exist and disappeared afterwards. ”

Listening to Lu Sheng's list one by one, Lai Chuntao's face became more and more gloomy.

"What does Lord Lu mean by this? Are you suspecting that the grass people are lying? If the grass people are lying, how can they explain the bodies of the five children that were later recovered on the beach?"

"This is also the reason why this official came to ask you, this official wants to hear Boss Lai's explanation! What's even more interesting is that there were 5,000 children who disappeared that time, if all of them were buried in the sea, why only five corpses surfaced? What about the others?"

Lai Chuntai's face was completely gloomy, "Under the strong wind, the bones are broken and buried in the sea, how many can keep the whole corpse?"

"What's even more interesting is that there is a family in Tongnan City East Street. A few days ago, I accidentally found the missing child, and that child was in the list of those who were buried in the sea. ”

"Oh, and this, maybe it's wrong, right?" Lai Chuntao asked with a slight smile.

"That kid also has a twin sister, so it's unlikely that he'll admit his mistake. ”

"Your Excellency is talking about the case of the destruction of the Fang family in the east of the city, right?" Lai Chuntao showed an indifferent expression on his face, "I heard that the person who killed that family ...... Is it a wolf?"

"This official has never announced this case, how do you know?"

"It is not difficult for adults to draw conclusions from the wounds of the deceased about what the Japanese have done. After all, there are many people who care about such a big case. Moreover, the grass people still have some connections in the officialdom, and it is not difficult to get some information. ”

"Boss Lai has a lot of ability, so the official is curious, how did the child who disappeared back then become a widow?"

"Isn't this simple?" Lai Chuntao leaned lazily on his back chair, "so many children died in the sea in the typhoon, but there are always a few lucky survivors." It's not incomprehensible to be rescued by the Japanese and become a Japanese pirate floating on the sea, right?"

"Is it really just an accident? Or ...... The case itself may have been committed by the Japanese Invaders!" Lu Sheng raised his head violently and stared at Lai Chuntao with dead eyes.

"Caomin is just a guy, although he is big now, but he was just a guy at the beginning, and it was the government's business to investigate the case. I just reported the case, and finally investigated and closed the case, all of which were done by the government. If you want to ask, I'm afraid you've found the wrong person.

The villain had to remind the adults that the case involved many people in that case. If you want to overturn the case, you will inevitably offend more people.

The entire Tongnan Mansion, from the envoys to the Jiupin County Order, will be implicated. My lord...... It's a hornet's nest in a barrel. ”

"You don't need to care about the official's situation, but do you have an explanation for the official's question?"

"No, the grass people are ignorant of these doubts raised by the adults. If you want to continue the interrogation, then please put the grass people into the prison and torture them, maybe they can be tortured into confessions to give the explanation you want. ”

Since Boss Lai doesn't know, then the official will not be difficult to force others. Farewell ......"

"Wait!" When Lu Sheng stood up, Lai Chuntao suddenly stopped Lu Sheng, "My lord, if the grass people are not mistaken, those five children beside you are the goods of our tooth shop, right?"

"Oh, don't you say that I forgot, I met these children by chance, and the official saw that they were smart and clever, and I liked them very much, how much money do you offer. ”

I believe you're a ghost!

Lai Chuntao's eyes rolled slightly, and from the time Lu Sheng began to ask the teacher, Lai Chuntao knew that the other party was clearly here to find fault. But Lai Chuntao is not worried in his heart, it would be unreasonable if Lu Sheng didn't come to find fault.

He has checked the yamen up and down the Tongnan Mansion, but he didn't expect the Criminal Division to be so uncontrollable, but he couldn't wait to find fault before he had time to make a point?

Lai Chuntao said he liked this food.

The people hate the insatiable officials, but for people like Lai Chuntao, the more corrupt officials, the better.

But...... For the children in front of him, Lai Chuntao thought for a moment, "One person is ten thousand taels!"

Lu Sheng frowned, but instantly turned calm. 10,000 taels ...... is very cruel, it is Qin Huai's top famous prostitute, and her redemption is only three thousand taels, a child, and twenty taels of heaven.
