Uncle Chen in the earthen house didn't know that the officers and soldiers had come, and when he saw the officials and the catchers breaking in, he was so frightened that the medicine in his hands fell to the ground with a "clang", and the thick smell of medicine mixed with the smell of blood filled the air.

"You ...... You do ...... What are you doing......" Uncle Chen was already a little behind his ears, no wonder he didn't hear such a big movement outside just now. At this moment, seeing that the servants surrounded him, he didn't see him panicking, but he felt distressed and picked up the medicine that fell on the ground, "My grandson's medicine...... You bastards...... Bastard, that's my grandson's medicine......" Uncle Chen cried out in pain, kneeling down and trying to scoop up the spilled medicine.

Sui Ge frowned and looked around, the bungalow was dimly lit, completely unventilated, covered with coarse cloth, and the room could still smell a bad smell, and the coughing of children and old people kept coming from the side of the bed. A servant came out of the room with a not very good face, and reported to Sui Ge: "There is a child and an old woman lying on the bed, and the situation of the two is ...... None of them look good. ”

Sui Ge went to the window first and opened all the windows in the house. Uncle Chen seemed to be crazy and wanted to rush over to stop him, and kept shouting: "This window can't be opened!" The big head is still sick, and the body will get into the wind when the wind blows. It was not easy for a few officials on the side to hold him up, only to find that this old man was quite strong.

Sui Ge looked at Uncle Chen and said coldly: "Stupid." You teamed up with Aunt Huang to abduct children and used their human blood as medicine, you can be convicted! ”

With the song, Uncle Chen's voice was serious and loud, Uncle Chen heard it clearly, but he didn't have any remorse: "I just trapped them for a few days, I didn't give them less food, but I took a little blood from them, I want to save my grandson!" They don't eat less chestnuts given by my daughter-in-law on weekdays, but they just take a little blood, so they will pay back the money for the chestnuts, and when I get better, we will naturally release them. ”

These words were full of selfishness, and several officials and catchers gritted their teeth when they heard it.

Uncle Chen saw that several officials lifted out the pale and coughing big head on the bed and Uncle Chen's wife, and cried excitedly: "Ouch, what a sin...... You corrupt officials and thieves...... Don't hurt my grandchildren...... Woo, old woman...... My grandson......"

The big head that was lifted out had a decent face, but he was coughing non-stop, and his face was not full of vitality. And Mrs. Chen's face was very ugly, her face was pale, and the blood stains on her chest placket could already be seen that she had begun to cough up blood, and the disease was already very serious. At that moment, Sui Ge ignored Uncle Chen, who was crying wolf, and directly instructed the officials to take him to a prison on the outskirts of the city. Uncle Chen and Aunt Huang both ate and lived with the patient for many days without coughing, and they should have only carried germs and had not been infected. But this child and the old lady must be isolated.

Sui Ge asked a few catchers to find a bed board and a wooden strip, wrap it tightly with cloth, make two simple stretchers, and transport Datou and Mrs. Chen to the bungalow near the prison on the outskirts of the city for isolation, especially to separate Datou and Mrs. Chen. At the same time, he sent a servant to the town to ask the two Langzhong to take protective measures to give the two people simple treatment.

After all this was done, Sui Gecai instructed everyone to burn their clothes when they returned to the yamen, and everyone had to bathe thoroughly before leaving the palace. Yin Dongsheng watched the stretcher carry away, and there was no danger before he ordered Tao Ziyi and the others to send the children back to their respective homes. The ten-year-old boy broke free from the catch, ran to Sui Ge, raised his face and asked, "Sister, I don't want to go home." ”

Sui Ge lowered his head, then squatted down, looked at him level, and asked, "Why?" ”

The boy's expression was very resolute, "I want to learn from you how to be a fast catcher, I am not afraid of hardship, I am willing to do any job!" Can you please let me follow along? ”

Sui Ge shook his head and said, "Let's not say that you are too young, it doesn't matter if you say it, you need to have the consent of your parents." ”

The profession of catching fast is not very popular in Qingyun Country, the work is hard, you can't take care of your family, and if you don't have particularly outstanding merits, you can't talk about an official position. The government will recruit people every year, and some children from poor families are also the target of the convocation, let them study from an early age, and generally let them do some chores in the government, including food and housing, and when they are old, they will be directly selected as government officials or fast catchers depending on their personal ability.

The boy's face darkened, and he replied: "My father and mother died very early, and now I live with my uncle's family. The boy didn't go on, but looking at the application, he could probably guess that life was not ideal. Tao Ziyi mentioned this when she reported the family situation of the missing child before, and specifically mentioned that the family didn't seem to be very concerned about the loss of the boy.

Sui Ge was silent for a while, pointed at Yin Dongsheng, and said, "He is the governor of Zhengzhou Mansion, you go and talk to him." Yin Dongsheng had already listened to the conversation between the two on the side, and at this moment, when he saw that Suige had thrown the pot to himself, he cursed in his heart, and chatted with the boy with a pleasant face: "What's your name?" ”

"Winter ......"

Sui Ge is not the Virgin, and she will not sympathize with this child because of her poor background, after all, everyone has their own circumstances, and people's birth is inherently unfair, but those who can survive poverty and difficulties are the winners of life. Sui Ge only has Ruan Ruan in his heart at the moment.

Under the shade of the tree, Dark kept holding Ruan Ruan in that posture, not moving at all. Sui Ge walked over, touched Ruan Ruan's face, and saw that she slept comfortably without any discomfort, and said to the secret: "Thank you."

Nodded darkly.

Sui Ge looked back at Yin Dongsheng and said to the dark: "I'm sorry for you to help me send her back to the house first, let Pear Blossom burn her whole body clothes, and help her bathe, I haven't finished my business yet, so I won't go back so soon." ”

Darkness nodded again, and after a while, the figure holding Ruan Ruan disappeared into the shade of the tree.

Xiaobai barked twice excitedly towards the place where they left before walking to Sui Ge's feet and rubbing it. Sui Ge touched Xiaobai's head and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work." Later let the pear blossom award you beef. Let's go back. ”

Xiaobai screamed and ran in the direction of Zhengzhou Mansion.

Sui Ge walked back to Yin Dongsheng's side, interrupted his solicitation of the little guy, and said with a serious face: "Lord Yin, the trial is about to begin." ”

In order to treat tuberculosis, kidnapping children to take blood for medicine is a matter of spreading to the outside world, which will cause a great panic, especially if ignorant people follow suit, and must be severely punished to set the record straight.

There is another thing that Sui Ge is very concerned about, how were those children abducted? In the past few days, what kind of medicine did Chen Bo use to take blood to make them fall asleep? More importantly, how did the medicine come about? If Aunt Huang made it herself, what is Aunt Huang's identity, but if it is given by someone else, things are even more complicated.

Sui Ge bent down and asked Dongsheng, "Your name is Dongsheng, right?" ”

Dongsheng nodded.

"Can you tell me how you came to Uncle Chen's house in the first place?"

Dongsheng's face instantly became confused, and he said, "I...... I do not know. ”

"Don't know?" Yin Dongsheng felt strange, "Didn't Uncle Chen bring you here?" ”

Dong Sheng shook his head, pointed to the bungalow they had been locked up in before, and said: "I only know that I felt groggy that day, originally I fell asleep at my uncle's house, but when I woke up, the descendants were already here, my hands and feet were tied, and a cloth was tied in my mouth. ”

Dongsheng said that, lifted his clothes, revealing the strangulation marks on his wrists and ankles. What is even more shocking is that there are four or five knife marks between his wrist and forearm, and one has scabbed over time. Zhang San and the two officials, who were still waiting for Yin Dongsheng here, felt distressed for this child when they saw it.

After helping Dongsheng tidy up his clothes, Sui Ge patted him twice on the head and praised him rarely: "You are a brave boy." ”

immediately glanced at Yin Dongsheng, Yin Dongsheng smiled knowingly, turned his head and said something in Zhang San's ear, Zhang San smiled arrogantly, picked up Dongsheng and wanted to send him home.

"You...... You let me down...... I'm not going home, I'm going to be a catcher......" Dongsheng twisted uncontrollably. Zhang San laughed twice, knocked his head with two fingers, and said, "Silly boy, don't you let me go to your house to explain the situation to your relatives!" Coming to our yamen apprenticeship requires the consent of the adults......"

Seeing that the two were drifting apart, Sui Gecai and Yin Dongsheng led the rest of the people to the direction of the cell on the outskirts of the city.

"With the song, the medicine that Shicai Dongsheng said should be a drug." Yin Dongsheng rarely got serious.

Sui Song nodded and added, "An upgraded version of the drug." "It may be a medicine that can make people hallucinate slightly, as long as the effect of the medicine is working, pick some hours when there are few people, such as noon when Ruan Ruan disappeared or in the evening when another little girl disappeared, just lead the child over, and others will not deliberately notice. Thinking of this, Sui Ge took out a small piece of hard lump wrapped in oiled paper from his arms.

Yin Dongsheng took it and asked, "What is this?" ”

"This is the red cake that General Ji and I smashed a few days ago."

"This medicine has the effect of ecstasy?"

Sui Song nodded, "Here, the medicine that can make people hallucinate, I only think of this one." ”

Yin Dongsheng pondered for a while before he said, "After receiving your letter, I immediately sent someone to investigate over there, but the building was empty." The village you are talking of has been burned to ashes, and the bungalows on the hillside where poison is made have been burned down, and we have found nothing in it, and the flower fields on the hill are the same, except for a mess. ”

This has already been guessed by Sui Ge, after all, the entire cottage can be disguised as villagers and do this thing directly on the remote mountain, the owner of the village is also a smart person, and if the matter is revealed, all traces must be erased.

Sui Ge shook his head, returned to the case this time, and said: "Aunt Huang is not in good spirits now, and she may not be willing to invite her truthfully. And I don't think Uncle Chen may know the origin of this medicine, and you will have to play with me later. If that medicine really has something to do with the red cake, I'm afraid things will be tricky. ”
