As Lu Tingxiu expected, no matter how interrogated, Feng Yuzhu was silent about the child trafficking, let alone the whereabouts of the child.

Liu Tiezhu, who rushed back from other places after hearing the news, specially came to the county office, he came to divorce his wife, not only admitted Feng Yuzhu's adultery with Liu Butcher, but also confessed to her trafficking of children.

Adultery, Liu Tiezhu has actually endured it for many years. He suffers from a hidden disease, which is not good at all, but he doesn't want to divorce his wife, so he can only turn a blind eye to Feng Yuzhu's broken shoes.

Although the sale was with the consent of the child's parents, he faintly felt that it was inappropriate, and once persuaded her to stop, but Feng Yuzhu not only listened but sneered at him, so he did not participate in it.

Ten catties of gold, Liu Tiezhu prevaricated and said that he didn't know. In fact, the Liu family knew that Feng Yuzhu was rich, but they didn't know where to hide, so they strongly advocated that she be immersed in the pig cage. As long as Feng Yuzhu dies, the money will be his own, but he didn't expect someone to take the lead, not only was the gold stolen, but also involved in the child trafficking case, which was really unlucky.

The child trafficking case is too big, and there is no evidence for the gold matter, so it has to be closed.

The yamen issued an announcement, and the parents who gave up their children in the early years learned the truth, but it is still difficult to collect evidence. The yamen estimated that there were about 100 children who were trafficked, but only about 20 parents actually came to report the crime.

It's not that they don't know it, but that the children are sent out for adoption, and each family gets three to five taels of silver. Feng Yuzhu said that it was a supplement from the adopters, but they all knew in their hearts that they were selling their children.

The new magistrate of the county has been sentenced for adultery, and it is estimated that selling children is not a trivial matter, and they are afraid of being sentenced, so many people dare not come to report the case.

Although there are only more than twenty, it is enough to sentence Feng Yuzhu to death.

She has the right to remain silent, but this does not prevent Lu Tingxiu from adjudicating the case.

On the day of the verdict, many people came to the yamen to watch the trial, and when the new county order sentenced Feng Yuzhu to death, in addition to the applause of the people, there were also many people's cries.

Although the death sentence was imposed, it still had to be sent for trial layer by layer, waiting for the receipt of the criminal department.

If all goes well, Feng's death sentence should be carried out in three months.

After the case was closed, Lu Tingxiu did not breathe a sigh of relief, but re-read the information of all the informants twice, and sure enough, he found something suspicious.

A beggar came to report the crime, and in just about a year, six companions disappeared.

The missing children, the youngest is five or six years old, and the oldest is about thirteen years old.

Feng Yuzhu is sold privately, without accomplices, it is easy to coax five or six-year-old children, but twelve or thirteen-year-olds already have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, especially those who have been begging for a long time, and they are very vigilant.

Even if she has the heart to sell it, she may not take it away.

Lu Tingxiu pulled out the case file alone, intending to review it again.

Before it could be started, another family came to report that their child was missing.

The report was made by the Zhang family, a gentry in the east of the city, and Boss Zhang's seven-year-old baby son Zhang Tianbao disappeared five days ago.

Five days ago, Feng Yuzhu had already been arrested.

The Zhang family didn't believe in the government before, so they sent people to look for it everywhere. I heard that the government had arrested the traffickers and sentenced them to death, so I hurried to report the case with the attitude of giving it a try.

Missing for five days, the chances of survival are already very small.

Boss Zhang is old and has a son, beware of the liver baby, now that his son is missing, he has lost his head all night.

He issued a reward order, no matter who it was, as long as Zhang Tianbao could be found, the Zhang family was willing to give a reward of 5,000 taels of silver.

Five thousand taels! Xia Qiu's eyes were green, and he immediately took Zhang Tianbao's portrait and recognized it carefully.

Zhang Tianbao looks very exquisite, like a porcelain doll, very likable.

Looking at it, Xia Qiu's nose was a little sour, and she couldn't help but think of her younger brother.

However, after a closer look, Zhang Tianbao is really a little similar to his younger brother.

"Boss Zhang, do you have Tianbao's personal belongings?"

Boss Zhang didn't care why she asked, and hurriedly ordered someone to go back and get Zhang Tianbao's pillows, clothes, etc.

Xia Qiu picked them up one by one, smelled them carefully, and then memorized the taste in his mind.

For her method, the officials looked at each other, and almost didn't burst out laughing.

However, Lu Tingxiu made a move and instructed Xu Mingming, "Go find a few dogs and smell them well." ”

For this pair of strange masters and servants, Xu Mingliang couldn't help laughing, but he really asked people to get a few dogs, and after smelling them, he asked the servants of the Zhang family to take them to the places where Zhang Tianbao often went to find them.

Using dogs to solve the case, the subordinate officials are hotly discussed.

That's right, the dog's nose is a spirit, but Lin County is so big, and the child has been missing for five days, I'm afraid that the howling dogs in the sky can't be found, let alone a few ordinary dogs.

**********

Wu Ze rented the yard, the Jin family and Wu Yu also entered the city, and Xia Qiu planned to go over.

She came out with Xu Mingliang, and when she arrived at the door, she was about to separate, Xu Mingliang beckoned to the two people who came in the distance, "Come and see, have you seen this child?" ”

Five thousand taels of silver, who doesn't want it. Boss Zhang spoke, even if the government is the duty, as long as you help find someone, the reward will be a lot.

Xu Mingliang is full of energy, and he has dozens of people under him, even if he turns the world upside down, he has to find out the child.

Min Zhuang came over and took a closer look for a long time, and one of them muttered: "It seems that I have really seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while." ”

"What?" Xu Mingming's eyes glowed green, "Think about it, where have you seen him?" ”

Xia Qiu pulled Xu Mingliang aside, "Who are they?" ”

Xu Mingliang said in a low voice: "These two are my own people, I have found a strong establishment for them, and as long as they are fine, they will secretly help me keep an eye on the Wu family." ”

Xia Qiu thought for a moment and beckoned the two of them over, "Have you seen him in the Wu family?" ”

Min Zhuang suddenly realized, and then remembered, "It seems that he was taken away from the back door by a doctor two days ago." ”

Xia Qiu stumbled, no wonder he felt that Zhang Tianbao was a little similar to his younger brother, and it was good to dare to love Wu Tongxing.

"Take it away?" Xu Mingliang hurriedly said: "Where did you take it?" ”

The people were a little embarrassed: "We didn't care at the time, the child seemed to be injured, and his expression was quite trance, so he let the doctor take him away." ”

"You pig brains, think about it quickly." Xu Mingliang was anxious, "There are so many pharmacies and medical halls in the city, where can we find them?" ”

"The doctor will come to Wu's house every once in a while, and it doesn't seem to be the first time he has taken the child away."

There must be at least a few hundred doctors in the whole city, and it is related to Wu Tongxing, Xu Mingliang is very impulsive, Xia Qiu advised: "Don't make a noise about this in advance, you go in privately to discuss with Lord Lu, don't mess around." ”

Xu Mingliang took a deep breath and ordered himself to calm down.

According to Wu Tongxing's forces, even if Zhang Tianbao is really done, the Zhang family is afraid that they won't even dare to let go of a fart.
