Ying Tianfu Mansion Yin Feng Zhizhang heard the letter and hurriedly led people to Gushui Wharf, and saw General Luo come forward to salute.

"I've seen the General."

General Luo waved his hand and said, "Deal with things first." ”

Vice Qian raised his trembling and trembling salute to Feng Fu Yin, and Feng Zhizhang said sharply: "What's the matter? ”

"My lord, there is a businessman who smuggles human beings and is caught by General Luo."

"How many people are there?" Feng Zhizhang asked about the abducted person.

Vice Qian replied with his eyes closed: "Thirty-six adults, six female babies, and four male babies." ”

Feng Zhizhang was unsteady on his feet, his head buzzed, and he only knew that he couldn't keep his black gauze hat. Under his nose, human trafficking was as high as nearly 50 people at a time, the largest human trafficking case since the establishment of Daqi.

It was in the place under the jurisdiction of Ying Tianfu.

Feng Zhizhang stabilized his body, gritted the root, and seemed to make a voice from between his teeth: "Someone!" Bring all the people involved back with you! ”

I have to report it quickly, I have to interrogate it quickly, and I have to wait for the emperor's thunderous wrath.

didn't wait for the emperor's wrath, and when he turned around, someone gave him two slaps, and his whole teeth hurt.

When I looked up, it was Feng Zhuoli.

Feng Zhizhang and Feng Zhuoli are of the same clan, his great-grandfather and Feng Zhuoli's great-grandfather are brothers, the Feng family is a big family, and the eldest official is Feng Zhuoli's uncle. Feng Zhuoli's siblings have no parents since they were young and were raised by their grandmothers.

The Feng family only has Feng Zhuoli as an old man, and Feng Zhizhang usually treats him with a lot of aftermath, but it is also a private act that has nothing to do with the government and politics, and it is a big deal to lose some silver.

However, this time is different, Feng Zhizhang also knows why this cousin beat him, which will make him hope that Feng Zhuoli can beat him half to death in front of General Luo.

But Feng Zhuoli only gave him two slaps, and then jumped to his feet and scolded: "Don't think I dare to beat you!" There are few people I dare not fight in Tianfu! There is such a thing under your nose, how can you, the parent official, be the official? Are you worthy of these people? ”

He was angry, and he pointed to the crowd of onlookers and scolded his cousin.

Feng Zhizhang woke up, knelt down in front of the crowd, and said, "I will definitely punish him severely!" Be sure to give everyone an explanation! ”

He kowtowed, got up and ordered the servants to take the people away, and those women were bitter masters, and they had to go back with them.

General Luo has a good impression of Feng Zhuoli, although this person is cynical, eating, drinking and having fun, he has done a good job today.

At this time, Liu Tiju of Gushui Wharf hurriedly came, recently he was unwell, recuperating at home, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he put on an official uniform and let the sedan chair man carry him to the wharf, and put on his clothes in a panic in the sedan chair.

When he came, he saw rows of carriages pulling people away, and he rushed to General Luo, sweating profusely.

"I've seen General Luo."

General Luo didn't know who he was, and Ye Tianzhuo next to him opened his mouth and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Liu Tiju: "The humble position is the promotion of Liu Jiuming by the City Bo Ti Si. ”

Ye Tian Zhuo Ha sighed and said, "Where have you been?" It's time for you to call for help this time. ”

Liu Jiuming's face was dripping with sweat, and he didn't know who the young man who spoke dared to say something in front of General Luo.

"I got sick a few days before I was humiliated and asked for leave......"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of horses' hooves, everyone looked over, and more than a dozen horses galloped.

When he arrived, he immediately jumped down, and the leader first gave General Luo his hand, and then said: "According to the emperor's command, Zhu Renbao, the commander of the envoy in Xiajingwei, temporarily takes over the city. ”

Liu Jiuming sat on the ground with his buttocks, and two people came to pick him up and drag him away.

General Luo gave Zhu Renbao an arch and took people into the carriage.

Ye Tianzhuo, Tao Zhexiao, Tao Guiju and Feng Zhuoli followed General Luo back to the city.

In the carriage, Feng Zhuoli asked Tao Zhexiao curiously at this time: "How do you know that there are people hidden in the warehouse?" I walked around with your dad and didn't notice anything. ”

Tao Zhexiao replied: "I was just about to get off the boat when I heard a woman coughing. The boatman on the ship could not be a woman, and we looked back and forth before, but we didn't find a woman. I listened carefully in the cabin, but I didn't hear any movement. It is estimated that we are going to get off the ship, and the sick person can't help but cough twice. ”

Feng Zhuoli had heard that there was a kind of person whose ears were better than ordinary people, but he didn't expect the Tao family to come up with one.

He didn't ask much, because with this skill, it can be very useful, no wonder the little general kept him by his side.

Tao Zhexiao asked Ye Tianzhuo: "Where did you and General Luo go?" ”

"The official on the wharf said that there were two ships with a Canton accent, and we asked for a small boat to chase them, and caught up with people I hadn't seen, and they had complete procedures and the goods they were transporting were also serious goods. Hurry back and see you shouting on the boat. ”

Tao Guiju had been thinking about the injured woman and asked, "Uncle Feng, how is that sister?" ”

Feng Zhuoli said: "I don't know, I sent them to the hospital, the doctor didn't dare to draw the knife, that Na Renhua asked people to pick up the herdsmen in Mazhuang, and said that they brought medicine." I know if the Mongolians are so strong in medicine that they can live to see if God blesses. ”

The knife was stuck in his heart, Feng Zhuoli felt helpless in his heart, but it was a pity.

Tao Zhexiao's eyes were looking into the distance, it was the woman's cough, maybe she wanted to use this to attract attention.

Fortunately, it was him who met, and it was difficult for another person to hear the faint coughing sound under the warehouse.

When Fu Xi knew about this, it was Boss Fu who came to tell her.

"It's a pity that I didn't meet it, I was training fat balls in Zhuangzi in those days, if I was there, your third cousin wouldn't have been injured."

Fu Xishi asked anxiously, "My third uncle is injured?" Is it serious? ‘”

Luo Zhihao said: "My arm was cut with a knife, but fortunately it didn't hurt my muscles and bones. A few stitches and a few days of rest were fine. ”

"I didn't expect Tian Zhuoke to make a great contribution this time, if he hadn't discovered it early and felt wrong, he wouldn't have saved so many people. With this credit, will our uncle give him an official or something? ”

"This depends on what our uncle thinks, I estimate that Tian Zhuo's father may be transferred to Yingtianfu, yesterday our uncle asked me some about his father's situation, I don't know if it means this, I don't live in Fengyang Mansion for a while."

Fu used to have a good impression of Ye Zhifu, and when he recognized his wrong daughter, Ye Zhifu told her that if he was willing, he would treat him as a father, and he would be an extra daughter.

Hearing Boss Fu say that Governor Ye could come to Yingtianfu, he was very happy.

"Great! In this way, Tianzhuo can stay in Yingtianfu. Brother, what kind of official is the prefect of Ye here? ”

Luo Zhihao said: "There is such a big event this time, and many officials have to be pulled down from top to bottom. The first Ying Tianfu Yin has to be replaced, and Tianzhuo's father may be the next Ying Tianfu Yin. ”

Fu used to know what Fu Yin was doing, Luo Zhihao explained to her: "Fu Yin is equivalent to the number one leader in the modern capital, if this happens, can Feng Fu Yin still sit firmly?" ”

"Although human traffickers are hateful, is it too harsh to change people up and down for this? Or is it because of tax evasion and private corruption? ”

Luo Zhihao shook his head and said: "The two crimes are added together, many people not only can't do it, but also have to go to prison, especially trafficking in abducted people, which is bigger than the crime of tax evasion." ”

Fu Xi was puzzled, and he didn't understand the powerful relationship, Luo Zhihao explained to her again: "My uncle said that a woman is old and married, under normal circumstances, she gives birth to four children, and in more than ten years, she will become a biological child, and in the past 30 years, that woman has four children and sixteen children and grandchildren. For 100 women, there can be 1,600 people, how much will the population increase in 60 years? The people were displaced during the war in the previous dynasty, not to mention the low survival rate of children, how many young and middle-aged people are gone? Why do various dynasties stipulate that women do not marry at eighteen and fine their parents, and they have to send official media to force marriage, just for the sake of the population. ”

Fu Xishi was stunned, she always thought that the women here got married before the age of eighteen because of customs, but she didn't expect it to be because of early marriage and early childbearing, and having many children and grandchildren.

No wonder my sister Xiaoyun didn't get married until she was eighteen years old, and if she didn't get married, she would be fined silver.

"Isn't there a kind of self-combing girl who doesn't marry all her life?"

"That was the later stage, women could make a living, and now they are still at home with the idea of following their fathers and marrying their husbands, which father and mother don't let their daughters marry? What does a woman do for a living if she doesn't marry? Father and mother are willing, and in the future, brothers are willing to raise sisters who will not marry? Everyone is a biological child, who will resist and take an unusual path? Don't say it's a big deal to be a nun, being a nun is not something you can do with shaving your hair, you also have to have the consent of your parents, and you have to have the degree of the imperial court, without the protection of a nunnery, sooner or later you will become a fireworks girl. Who put the usual days but, toss those? ”

Fu Xishi blinked, thinking about the time when he first came, he always wanted to escape from the Dou family, if he met a trafficker, he would catch a single woman and go far away, she would not be a normal person.

If you don't catch you, who will you catch?

Sold for nothing, for a sum of silver.

If you think about it, I'm afraid, I will deal with the bean dregs in these two moments, and I will change the wicked people, and I don't know why I die.
