Fifty-two The target is the population
Fu Ning has always been very hardworking, and came to the stall early every day to help, but suddenly didn't come today, Zhao Shuang felt that if he didn't abscond, something would happen.
Yuan Xi said: "Girl, shall I go to the River Temple to see Xiao Ningzi?" ”
Zhao Shuang said: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”
Although Yuan Xi felt that it was inappropriate for Zhao Shuang to go to the River Temple to see the little beggar, what this county magistrate's daughter did was not very suitable for his identity, so he did not persuade and went to the River Temple with Zhao Shuang.
When the two of them arrived at the river temple, it was quiet inside, and it was said that at this time, there should be many beggars crowded into such a vacant house, and it was right to make a commotion.
Zhao Shuang pushed open the door, and the sour smell in the room immediately hit his nose, but the room was empty.
Zhao Shuang remembered that there were more than a dozen beggars in Fu Ning alone, and now there were a lot of homeless beggars in Lanfeng County, and there should be many people crowded in this river temple.
Zhao Shuang asked Yuan Xi: "When does the morning of the porridge start?" ”
"It's just the beginning, and it's still early." Yuan Xi replied.
Zhao Shuang stepped into the river temple.
In the middle of the room was a statue of the Buddha, a square stone table in front of the statue, and other than that, it was all beggars' belongings.
Hay grass, broken bowls, blue clothes, dog beaters......
Zhao Shuang turned around and found a few small bags in the hay and corners, which contained clothes and even a few copper plates.
This thing is supposed to be the property left by the beggars.
But no, these things should be important assets for beggars, and they should carry them with them, even if they go to drink porridge, they should not leave them here.
What's more, for those new beggars from other places, who slept here last night, I don't know if they can grab a place here tonight, maybe they will have to change places in one night, and it is naturally even more impossible to put important baggage here.
There is only one possibility for leaving the property, and he is in a hurry and can't even take care of the property.
But Zhao Shuang couldn't understand that more than one beggar was so hurried that he ran away without even taking his baggage, and it was said that this would only be a matter of picking it up.
The beggars are not even able to take their burdens and leave, unless their lives are at stake...... Even if there is an earthquake, they can take their baggage and run out!
Therefore, the reason for throwing away the burden, unless they don't know, without consciousness, naturally they won't take the burden.
There is no consciousness......
Zhao Shuang searched carefully in the River Temple, and found no other clues except for the things left by the beggars.
She even crouched down to sniff, but she didn't smell anything suspicious.
First, Mr. Shang was poisoned by high-tech pharmacological effects, and now the beggar of the River Temple has mysteriously disappeared in an unconscious state.
Zhao Shuang felt that the water in Lanfeng County was quite deep, at least there was a guy who was very good at medicine, and this person's purpose was to be human!
Zhao Shuang's heart flashed in inspiration, wanting people, there is no more than abducting beggars and homeless people will not attract people's attention.
So in order to get more people, they lured a large number of beggars to Lanfeng County.
Zhao Shuang thought of the big pot of porridge in the square, if those medicines were in the porridge pot, the beggars drank it, and slept like dead pigs at night, and they were carried away, naturally they didn't know.
Zhao Shuang was so anxious that he turned around and ran back out of the River Temple.
Her little Ningzi was also arrested, if there are three long and two short, how can she eat in the future.
Yuan Xi hurriedly caught up with Zhao Shuang's footsteps: "Girl, where are we going?" ”
"Find my dad and seal the city gates!"
The little beggars were caught at night, and the gates were closed at night, and it was impossible for people to be transported out of the city, but only after the gates were opened at dawn.
Now that the sky is bright, the city gate may not be opened, hurry up and find my father to give an order to close the city, search the whole city, and maybe find Fu Ning.
Zhao Shuang panted and ran to the county office, regretting that he had not used the delicious value he had absorbed to improve his physical fitness.
The quality of this body is too weak, and I can't breathe after running a few steps, and I won't vomit blood when I run back to the county office.
"Yuan Xi, you hurry, run back to the county government and tell my father, seal the city gate first, and I'll explain when I go back!" Zhao Shuang gasped and commanded Yuan Xi, who was running beside him.
Yuan Xi agreed and sped away.
Zhao Shuang looked at Yuan Xi's back as he ran away, gritted his teeth, and continued to run back.
When Zhao Shuang ran back to the county office, Lord Zhao had already ordered people to seal the four city gates, and sent someone to notify the officials who were still at home to come to the county government to gather.
Zhao Shuang leaned against the wall and gasped for breath and thought, Dad is quite reliable.
When Zhao Moshen saw his daughter coming back, he hurriedly asked, "Shuang'er, what happened?" ”
Yuan Xi had already told him before that the beggars in the River Temple were gone, and as for what Zhao Shuang had discovered, Yuan Xi didn't know.
Zhao Shuang told Zhao Moshen about his discoveries and speculations in the River Temple.
Zhao Moshen said with a serious expression: "Shuang'er thinks that someone is taking the population captive? ”
Zhao Shuang nodded: "It must be, Fu Ning has found out before that there will be fewer and fewer beggars and homeless people." ”
Beggars and homeless people are also people, and population is the wealth of a country, not to mention that most of the beggars are evolved from homeless people, and when the famine passes, most of them will return to their hometowns, put them into production again, and become the labor force and builders of the country.
As an official of Tianhong, when encountering such a thing, Zhao Moshen suddenly felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
"Among the beggars and homeless, there are men, women, and children, what do you need with such a large number of people, and you don't choose?" Zhao Shuang asked.
She didn't know much about the population industry in ancient times.
In modern society, there are abductors and traffickers of children, women, and young and strong men, but there are not many abductors and traffickers of the elderly.
What are you doing with abduction? Is there someone who lacks mother's love and father's love?
But this gang of people captives hidden in Lanfeng County obviously does not pick people, men, women and children.
Zhao Mo stroked his non-existent beard and said, "I have never heard of abducting and trafficking women and children, abducting and trafficking young and middle-aged laborers, and even the elderly. ”
"Whatever they do with the captive population, it's clear that the three big families who are making porridge are very suspicious. Daddy Zhao, your Meng County Cheng is very problematic. ”
The three major families of Shecongee are the Meng family, the Zhang family and the Liu family.
Meng Xiancheng is the Meng family, and Miss Meng Er, who invited Zhao Shuang to tea a few days ago, is the daughter of Meng Xiancheng.
There are officials involved, Lord Zhao is bitter in his heart, the Meng family is the local head snake, they are involved, I am afraid that this case is not easy to investigate.
"The intoxicating grass and hook vine in the Zhaixintang Pharmacy are used to put them in the porridge pot, so that the beggars and homeless people who eat the porridge sleep soundly at night, and they are good at committing crimes!" Zhao Shuang thought of the large number of intoxicating grass and hook vines in and out of the Zhaixintang Pharmacy.
Zhao Moshen nodded: "That's the truth, but to convict these three families, evidence is needed." Where do we look for evidence? ”
