89 Flower Thief
The two mutilated juveniles have been identified as being 13 and 14 years old.
After Ling Xiaoning heard it clearly, his eyes couldn't help but light up, he didn't expect to hear such exciting news in ancient times.
"This flower thief must be a lewd uncle or a homosexual...... But it sounds interesting, and I don't know what will happen next. ”
It's just that the method of the flower thief is so cruel that everyone who listens can't help but be angry.
The 13-year-old boy was found dying, stripped of his clothes, and there were countless scars on his body, large and small. It is clear that he was also subjected to inhumane torture before being violated.
Another 14-year-old boy is also in a similar condition, and after diagnosis and treatment, his legs may be disabled for life, and he will no longer be able to walk like a normal person.
It is said that the flower thief traveled all the way north, and it is likely that he was already approaching the capital. This made those of the same age even more nervous, and the people in the government had already begun to take action, preparing to arrest the flower thief.
Notices were posted at the city gates and in some of the more conspicuous places, and if the common people reported the discovery of the flower thieves and were reliable, they would be rewarded with ten taels of silver.
If any capable hero helps the government, or if he can catch the flower thief, he will be rewarded with 50 taels and only 100 taels of silver.
100 taels of silver is a great reward for ordinary people, and if a person saves a little, it will be enough to live the rest of his life.
For a person like Ling Xiaoning, who can grab a handful of money casually, it is really not a cost-effective thing to risk his life to earn these 100 taels of silver.
Several people gathered around the posted notice and talked about it.
"I've only heard about the flower thief, and I've never seen a real person...... Who knows how powerful that guy is, if he accidentally loses his life, he will lose money. ”
"I don't think that kid has much ability to start, they are all young men of thirteen or fourteen years old, and people of that age generally don't have much strength......"
A burly man who looked to be in his 30s had a loud voice.
"If that bastard really comes to the capital, I will definitely arrest him and go to the government to get the 100 taels of silver!" With all this money, my wife and children will have a ......."
"Hahaha, where is the silver of this government so easy to earn, maybe the people of the government have already fought with the flower thief, because the other party is very powerful, so this kind of notice will be posted."
After Ling Xiaoning listened to a few words, he turned around and walked slowly towards the front.
"It's really a bit interesting, and I don't know when the people in the government will be able to catch this flower thief. In fact, everyone has never seen the flower thief with their own eyes, so how can they be sure whether it is a lewd uncle or a fierce aunt? ”
Ling Xiaoning went to the branch in the capital to take a look at the situation.
Inside the storefront there is a shopkeeper and a small attendant who is responsible for running errands.
Today's business is not very good, only a few ordinary people came to buy a few pots of ordinary flowers, and did not sell a single pot of expensive flowers.
Ling Xiaoning sighed softly, told them to take care of the flowers and plants in the store, and planned to go back to the courtyard to prepare for dinner and rest.
As soon as I walked out of the store, I saw a few people gathered in front of me, and it seemed that there was some news again.
When I first entered the store, I didn't find the group of people, and after a while, a group of people gathered together, which should have happened not long ago.
Ling Xiaoning couldn't help but be curious, and walked over quickly.
"It's really the flower thief on the notice......"
"Surely that's right, I saw people being dragged away just now......"
Not long ago, a tragic death occurred on another street.
First, when a lady cleaned up the street, she found a naked person lying near the door.
The eldest lady began to blush and her heart beat, thinking that someone was doing something unsightly in the daytime, but after a few minutes, she found that the person was motionless, as if she was not breathing.
The eldest lady realized that the situation was not right, and hurriedly shouted, attracting people nearby to come over to check the situation.
A bold man kicked the door open and dragged the man out, and most of the people present were breathing nervously.
The person lying on the ground was almost out of breath, and his body was covered with bruises, especially the lower body was miserable and bloody, as if he had been cut by some enemy.
"That flower thief is so cruel that he rarely treats a man!"
"The flower thief seems to be getting more and more, not only for those thirteen or fourteen-year-old beautiful boys, but also for men of the same age and ordinary appearance......"
"What can I do? The target he picked didn't ask much, could it be me next? ”
A dark-skinned, young man anxiously reached out and touched his face.
"Don't worry, you're still safe, no matter what, he can't find a piece of black coal."
"Why bother, although there are not as many petty officials as prostitutes, but there are also many capitals, and you can play casually with a little silver...... If you do this kind of murderous thing, sooner or later you will be caught by the government and punished by God! ”
"The few times he arrested people was until he killed people, even if he got to that kind of place, he couldn't escape if he died......"
"This is a complete pervert, we must catch people quickly, otherwise I don't know how many people will be killed next!"
Everyone talked about it and was outraged.
They plan to go to the government together to complain, asking the government to solve the case as soon as possible and catch the flower thief who killed people.
Otherwise, I don't know how many innocent people will be harmed. As soon as the people in the government received the report, they took away the body that had died not long ago, and naturally arranged for more people to arrest him.
It's just that so far, except for the corpse injured by the flower thief, no one has seen the true face of the flower thief, and it is really difficult to arrest him.
The flower thief disguised himself a little, and I am afraid that he would not know what was going on when he walked past everyone, let alone arrest others.
Ling Xiaoning couldn't help but be glad that the flower thief's target was a young man and not a woman, otherwise he would have worried about his safety.
Not long after she returned to the courtyard, she still felt uncomfortable.
"Autumn leaves...... His Royal Highness the Great Prince hasn't heard anything for two days, do you know what he's been busy with lately? ”
"I don't know much about ...... either"
"It's better like this, you let someone help me to send a message to the palace, tell him about the recent flower thief, and let him be careful, don't have any accidents."
"Yes."
At present, the flower thieves are 13-year-olds, 14-17 years old.
