Chapter 468: History Repeats Itself?
Chapter 468: History Repeats Itself?
Losing three or five can still be explained.
Losing only boys or girls can barely make sense. But this boy and girl are mixed and lost, and they are lost quietly, and they are ghostly.
At first glance, this case is really confusing.
But anything, as long as it has happened, there are clues to be found, and the reason why she feels clueless is because there are some key things that she has not yet discovered.
Feng Ge shook his head. "In the past few days, I have entered the palace and flipped through the files of the previous dynasty. At the beginning of this dynasty, such a thing also happened, and it didn't happen in the capital, so it was just a scribbled note. ”
The new dynasty was first built, and a hundred ruins were waiting to be rebuilt. At this time, the records in the history books were naturally mostly about singing praises of virtue.
This kind of thing, which will ruin the reputation of the new dynasty, is naturally brushed aside.
Xiao Ying looked at Feng Ge and waited for him to continue. "Because the place where it happened is thousands of miles away from the capital and close to the mountains. The final conclusion is that the hungry wolf comes down the mountain......"
Only the children were lost, and they were lost silently.
In the end, it turned out to be such a conclusion. Xiao Ying's eyes widened, and a look of surprise appeared on her face, and Feng Ge felt that her face was a little hot.
Although it was said that it was something that happened to the ancestors, after all, it was done by someone surnamed Feng. Moreover, Feng Ge believed that the emperor at that time, that is, the first monarch of the Feng family, was probably very aware of the inside story, but in the end he still connived at the historian's record.
Shame on you.
"Don't be disappointed, even if you check, I'm afraid you won't find any results. I've been busy checking past files these days, trying to find out similar cases...... Except for the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, after making a note in the annals of history, I can't find a second case similar to it. ”
"After so many years, the same case happened...... Naturally, it will not be the same person who committed the crime, after all, there are very few people who can live to be 100 years old, but it cannot be ruled out that this is a gang. A gang that existed from the very beginning of the Feng Dynasty. Back to the original question.
What are they going to do?
So many kids? What is it used for? Boys and girls? What kind of cult sacrifice? The file records that the last case happened in a small place. But this time it happened blatantly in the capital. Fifth brother, the other party may be a little unwilling to be silent......"
It doesn't matter what the use of tying up a child is.
Is this Chiguoguo's against the imperial court? It's like a declaration of war.
"It's an eventful time." So it's not surprising that any ghosts and ghosts come out. As for the other party's purpose, Feng Ge's intuition was about to be revealed soon......
Just after dawn the next day, Wang Ji arrived as promised. There was also a man with a cowering expression. The man looked to be in his mid-thirties, and he was born with a face that was disgusting to look at.
This man is the drunkard who is said to have seen the child go out on his own.
Thinking about it, Wang Ji was afraid that this person would surprise Feng Ge and Xiao Ying, so he cleaned up for him. It's just that he didn't have time to make new clothes, so this man was wearing a half-new pants, and it looked like someone else's clothes.
The corners of the trousers are a little big, half dragged on the ground, and every step this person takes, his hand has to gently pull the corners of his trousers, as if he is afraid that the half-new pants will be stained with dust. Presumably Wang Ji had warned him in advance, he entered the flower hall and fell to his knees with a thud, his head bowed desperately, and he waited for Xiao Ying to ask.
"Your Highness, County Lord, this is the drunkard."
Feng Ge waved his hand, motioning for Wang Ji to step aside, and then looked at Xiao Ying.
Xiao Ying looked the drunkard up and down. This kind of long-term alcoholic person will not look good.
This person is too, his appearance is quite stumbling, and his whole face is swollen with the smell of wine, and it is dark red. "You said you saw the child open the door and walk out on his own?" Xiao Ying asked softly, and the person seemed to be a little surprised that it was a girl.
But he never dared to look up.
Wang Ji told him that it was a noble man who wanted to see him, and he couldn't afford to offend.
And he had heard Wang Ji address His Royal Highness and the county lord just now.
It should be the county lord who asked the question. Although it was strange for a woman to ask questions, this person was naturally timid and did not dare to hesitate at all.
Asked in a somewhat trembling voice. "Yes, the little one saw with his own eyes, and that day the little one made a few pennies more during the day, so he added an extra pot of wine. I drank more than usual, and I wandered out into the street in the middle of the night. On weekdays, the little ones don't dare to go out. The wine was so strong that he didn't know how to go out that day and wander around the streets. When encountering a night watchman, he dodged.
Later, I don't know how long I went shopping. Suddenly I came to a small road.
At that time, Xiao Jiu had already woken up for five or six minutes, and he had vaguely remembered that the curfew in the capital had been extended recently. I was scared and wanted to sneak home.
I saw a house not far from where the small one was, and the courtyard door suddenly opened slowly from the inside.
It was dark and windy...... The little one was scared out of white sweat. Hurriedly hid in a doorway, and then tilted his head to look carefully......
The little one saw a small child. Although it was dark, it was still a little difficult for the figure to cross the threshold.
Finally, crawl out...... It is indeed a child. It seems to be a little girl. The little ones are not lightly scared...... suddenly remembered the recent rumors of losing children in the capital. He followed quietly with courage. Who knew that after following the shadow into an alley, the child would disappear. The little one was completely frightened and woke up, and went home with a lot of pee. The next day, after thinking about it, I felt that I had to report this matter to the official......"
Although this man is timid, his speech is quite clear.
Wang Ji continued.
"The lower official sent someone to investigate, and the family really lost a female doll that night." This is the reason why Wang Ji dared to show up with this drunkard.
This drunkard, eighty percent of what he said is true.
"You only saw a little kid crawl out on its own? Are you sure there's no one else nearby? ”
“…… The little one didn't see it, anyway, the courtyard door of that house, the child seemed to have been tinkering for a long time before opening it. Then he climbed out of the threshold again, and as for whether there were anyone else nearby, I really didn't know if the little one was there. Xiao Ying's question made the man tremble again. Thinking that at that time, maybe the real murderer who abducted the child was nearby......
"Nobleman. Please save me, I summoned everything I saw...... "If the real murderer wants to kill people, his leaky house can't stop it."
"Shut up, babble nonsense. What is this place? It's up to you to mess around. Wang Ji scolded.
The drunkard's frightened face turned pale, and he didn't dare to make another attempt. "Let him stay in the palace and be a servant. Lord Wang, this king is going to take a look at the alley where the child has been lost in a while, and you will go with you. The drunkard looked happy and hurriedly kowtowed in thanks.
Wang Ji had a white face, and secretly said that a rotten drunkard had lost his luck.
And he is dignified and obedient, but he wants to be a little follower.
