Chapter 207: Abduction
After a few days, Sixteen's health improved a lot. The speed of recovery is already a wonder in the eyes of the doctors, Yan Sui gave the silver, and also turned the threat, and the doctors will not make a noise, it is the three doctors who have come to observe the condition of Sixteen these days, and determined that he only needs to continue to take medicine to recover soon, so they shook their heads and sighed and said goodbye.
But unlike the last time Sixteen was slapped by the kidnappers, the last time he was able to eat a pot of rice in just the time it took him from the mountain to his home, but this time he was in a coma all the time.
It also shows that the person who injured sixteen this time was much more ruthless than the kidnapper last time, and his martial arts were also stronger than that kidnapper.
Zhu Youning couldn't understand that he was just a little boy, if it was really done by human traffickers, why did he kill him? Shouldn't human traffickers catch live people and sell them?
So in the end, Zhu Youning came to a conclusion, with the skills that he could knock over all the assassins last time, he could stand without resistance and be beaten, and the person who did it must be someone he knew.
Zhu Youning suspected that the person who did it was the "father" of the sixteen mouths.
It is very likely that the miracle doctor who transformed Sixteen's body in such a special way did not die.
Three years ago, when Sixteen was only five years old, the man left the child in the mountains to fend for himself, went away on his own, and when they met again, he wanted Sixteen's life fiercely.
Zhu Youning analyzed it and frightened himself.
How much resentment can make people have to kill a child? If there is no hatred, it is for the sake of extinguishing the mouth. 16. What do you know that you shouldn't know?
Zhu Youning didn't dare to delve into the sixteenth matter, because there might be some secrets that could not be known in the future.
Zhu Youning took care of him for 16 days.
At this time, a major incident also happened in Linshan County.
"Girl, you don't know, it's all messy outside." Bai Ling came back from shopping outside, and as soon as he entered the door of the inner room, he lowered his voice and said: "Many people have gathered at the yamen, and they have jointly sued Captain Chen of Hangzhou. ”
Zhu Youning was not surprised, and folded the corner of the quilt for the unconscious Sixteen, then walked outside and asked in a low voice: "What is it for?" Are there a lot of co-signers? ”
"It is said that it was a complaint against Captain Chen for accepting bribes and refusing to unseal it. Originally, the imperial court was going to unseal the mountain road between Linshan County and Fuyang County, but Chen Xiaowei refused to act because he received a large amount of silver. The people here in Linshan County have less farming, and more people run to deliver goods. ”
Zhu Youning raised the corners of his mouth lightly, and asked again: "So many people have jointly filed a complaint, has the yamen begun to accept it?" ”
"It is said that Fang Xun is on trial, anyway, there are many people outside the yamen, and many people in Linshan County have gone to see the excitement."
Zhu Youning nodded.
It seemed that things were as she expected.
Fang Jinrui has a reputation for being incorruptible, and the most unaccustomed thing is to accept bribes to enrich his own pockets. If the rest is the rest, there may be room for relaxation. But this incident really hit him straight on the muzzle of the gun.
Fang Qingtian avenged the people's grievances and worried about the suffering of the people, where can he ignore this kind of boiling matter of people's grievances?
And this is exactly the purpose of her letting Feilong Tang secretly pry the people to sue.
As for why these people were so easily stirred, it was all due to the geography of the place and the living conditions of the people.
Most of the people in Linshan County were counting on that traffic artery to make a living, but the imperial court blocked the mountain road, and their lives were seriously affected, but they didn't dare to speak because of the accident of the six princes.
Now let them know that this matter is not the intention of the imperial court, but a corrupt official who took a bribe, and it is strange that the people do not blow up.
Fang Qingtian is upright and upright, he was ordered to patrol the Hangzhou Mansion, and it is impossible to sit idly by when encountering such corrupt officials and harming the people, so the current situation has naturally formed.
Zhu Youning didn't let Bailing and Thrush go out again, one was worried that the city was too chaotic and they were in danger, and the other was that the case of human trafficking had not yet been followed, and the people from the six doors had not left, and she was also afraid that the people around her would be in danger.
Zhu Youning and the two maidservants took care of Sixteen in the inn.
And Yan Sui and Yan Butler, who were separated by a wall, went outside to watch the excitement for several days, and after returning to the inn that day, they closed the door and chatted.
"I didn't expect things to develop to this point, Fang Qingtian not only invited Captain Chen to Linshan County for trial, but even Yang Ge Lao was shocked."
Today's case has reached a key link, which really makes them feel like they are going through ups and downs.
First of all, the people jointly sued Captain Chen, using the public for personal gain, embezzlement and bribery, and refusing to unseal after accepting bribes from others.
After being invited here, Captain Chen flatly denied taking bribes. Due to insufficient evidence, Fang Qingtian was unable to make a judgment, and the two began to argue.
Who knew that at this time, the buckle meat that had disappeared for a few days suddenly came and sued Captain Chen, knelt in the lobby and began to shout grievances.
"I am a businessman from other places, and I gave Chen Xiaowei more than 2,000 taels of silver before and after, in order to ask him not to open the trade route between Linshan County and Fuyang County, so that I can also make a profit, who knows that I will be good as he promised, and the silver will be accepted, and in the blink of an eye, this is about to be unsealed again? I don't care, Captain Chen should have done something for me after accepting my money, he suddenly repented, and my silver had to be returned to me! ”
's three-inch incorruptible tongue, coupled with his excellent singing and songwriting skills, made Captain Chen bite down, and he couldn't refute it several times in a row.
And the people of the plaintiff were even more excited, and they scolded Chen Xiaowei and Kou Rou, saying that they were a nest of snakes and rats.
"You little brother is too lacking in morality, you only care about your financial route, no matter whether so many people in our county live or die!"
Buckle meat retorted: "I also have no choice, and besides, it wasn't me who took the bribe, in the final analysis, we are all a group of bitter haha, and we have been cheated by this kind of corrupt official!" ”
The people scolded Captain Chen again: "No wonder the court doesn't care about this matter, but you don't unseal it, saying that you accepted bribes, but you don't admit it, now the human evidence is there, and the physical evidence is available as soon as you search it, and you are still stubborn!" ”
……
The power of the people is infinite, and even Yang Gelao, who came to listen, made a big noise.
When Yang Ge was in the capital, he heard that the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce was going to make a businessman turn over and be the master, where would he let the businessman get his wish? That's why he made a special turn and went to Hangzhou on the way back to his hometown, and arranged to block Captain Chen's unblocking, so the last time he was unsealed was interrupted halfway.
It's good now that Captain Chen actually took a bribe of 2,000 taels of silver for this incident!
If this matter is noisy, it will not be easy to handle!
Elder Yang Ge glared at Captain Chen fiercely, only feeling that this kind of incompetent martial artist was really shallow and could not be reused, and it was in vain that he had worked hard for the Holy Ancestor.
Looking at the lively Yan Sui and Steward Yan below, they understood at that time that this matter must have been arranged by Zhu Youning.
The result of the matter was known to have not been decided when he left the mansion today, but Fang Xunji had already said on the spot that he would quickly collect evidence, and Yang Ge Lao also angrily reprimanded Captain Chen's behavior in the court.
As long as the evidence confirms the fact that Chen Xiaowei took bribes, then the matter of unsealing will be immediately tied to the fact that corrupt officials refused to unseal the bribes.
Originally, Fang Jinrui couldn't control the unblocking. But Zhu Youning beautifully turned this matter into the issue of the integrity of officials, and Fang Jinrui, who was ordered to patrol Hangzhou, had to ask for the people's life.
Because no one dares to stir up public resentment because of this kind of thing, if it spreads to the whole country, none of them can afford that public opinion.
"In my opinion, the unsealing has been lifted for the past two days." Yan Sui said with a smile: "Before, I thought that after I made a big fuss, the difficulty of unsealing the matter also increased, because it was a little too difficult for her to be a little girl, and I wanted to help her secretly." Who knew it was me who underestimated her. ”
Steward Yan also smiled: "In my opinion, Miss Zhu is indeed very similar to Gongzi when she was young, she is also smart enough, and she is also able to grasp the opportunity." ”
"That's why it's pleasing to look at her." Yan Sui smiled, remembering the situation of Sixteen, he frowned again, and squeezed out a fine line in the center of his eyebrows, "The person who injured Brother Hong'er is a little suspicious, maybe he has some secrets on his body." ”
"Indeed, behind the internal strength of the person who did it, he is a master of internal kung fu, if he is really right, I am afraid I may not be his opponent. How could such a master want to kill a child for no reason? That's the weirdness. ”
When Steward Yan said this, he thought about the situation of Sixteen, and said, "Childe, do you need me to investigate?" ”
Yan Sui pursed her lips, shook her head for a while, and said, "No need." Each family has its own secrets, and we don't need to get involved in them, and I'm afraid that it will end badly for them. ”
"Childe is thoughtful." In fact, in these years, if Zhu Youning asks for help, it is already very interesting for them to nod and help, and their relationship with Zhu Youning is not particularly close, so why take the initiative to do anything?
As Yan Sui expected, the unsealing was finally finalized the next day.
Under the consultation between Fang Qingtian and Yang Gelao, for the purpose of the interests of the people of the county, Captain Chen's dismissal was finally ordered to be lifted and the soldiers stationed in the mountains were transferred.
The entire Linshan County was boiling because of this incident.
Buckle meat was fined for bribery, but when he returned to Zhu Youning, he still went to Hangzhou to find Chen Xiaowei's bribe.
Zhu Youning said with a smile: "It's a shame that Brother Bei let the two of you follow me, otherwise there is really no one around me who can do this." ”
Buckle Meat shook his head, thinking of Sixteen, who was still in a coma in the house, he couldn't help but sigh, "I just didn't expect that I had only been away for a few days, and Brother Hong'er was injured, but fortunately, his life was fine, otherwise I really don't know what to do." ”
Sixteen hasn't woken up yet. However, the doctor finally came to see that his injuries were still rapidly improving, and now he was asleep, perhaps because his body was recovering on its own.
Without worrying about his life, Zhu Youning can also think carefully about how to catch the murderer.
Just as Zhu Youning was thinking about countermeasures, Feilong Tang rushed in from outside, and said in a low voice: "Miss Nine, the whereabouts of the kidnapper have been found!" ”
Zhu Youning got up and asked eagerly, "Where is it?" Did you arrange for someone to find it? ”
"It was found by the people of the six doors, and the yamen has already sent someone to follow Zhou Zhutou to go together, I followed behind to see, and I will tell you immediately after knowing the location, this matter still has to be at your command, how to deal with it?"
Zhu Youning muttered: "I want to go around to see the situation, I guess I don't get too close, and there are so many errand servants, it shouldn't be in the way." ”
Feilong Tang was a little hesitant, the person who injured sixteen people has not yet been found, obviously that person is a rather tricky figure among the abductors, if he gets close, he is unlucky and is injured by mistake, wouldn't it be wronged?
Zhu Youning said again: "I only went to see the situation from a distance, not close, I also want to know who hurt my brother." ”
Zhu Youning had some suspicions that the person who injured Sixteen was the miracle doctor "Dad". But there is no evidence in the end, even if there are all kinds of things that she thinks are unreasonable, but Sixteen may indeed be injured by the master of human traffickers, no matter what, she has to see the situation with her own eyes.
Seeing Zhu Youning's resolute expression, he saw how Zhu Youning promoted the unsealing of the matter, and the flying dragon soup and the button meat also knew that Zhu Youning was not an ordinary little girl, so he nodded immediately.
Zhu Youning instructed Bailing and Thrush to stay and take care of Sixteen, so he followed the Flying Dragon Soup and Buckle Meat out of the door, winding through the alley, and soon arrived at a house.
At this time, there were many errand servants outside the door of this family, because it involved a particularly large child abduction and trafficking case, even Fang Jinrui was shocked.
At this time, Fang Jinrui also took several guards around him and stood in front of the door with a solemn face.
A short, middle-aged man knelt in front of Fang Jinrui and was sobbing: "Adult Mingjian, I am really not a kidnapper, I brought these children home to save their lives!" ”
Fang Jinrui didn't speak, only stood with his hands down.
At this time, Zhou Feiyi had already brought out many children from the house with many errand servants.
Some of those children are still in swaddling clothes, most of them are one or two years old, the oldest is no more than five years old, some are asleep, some are crying, and some are not crying or making trouble, holding the hands of adults and following with small short legs.
If you look closely, there are twelve children in total.
Fang Jinrui pointed at those children and said in a deep voice: "These children are here, you told the official that you are not a kidnapper, are they all your children?" ”
The short middle-aged man shook his head again and again, "No, no, no, I rescued these children!" These are all children in this county, they are all targeted by the Qingyun Sect, I am afraid that they will be arrested and suffer, so they will all come home, not to mention the good food and drink, but also to make the silver to feed them and take care of them, adults take a closer look at these children's complexions and know that I have not abused them! ”
Fang Jinrui and Zhou Feiyi took people to check, and sure enough, they saw that those children looked very good. There were also a few older children who smiled when they saw the middle-aged man.
Zhou Feiyi arched his hand to Jin Rui, and then asked in a deep voice: "You said that the Qingyun Sect wants to abduct and sell these children?" How do you know so much? ”
Zhu Youning also felt strange when he heard this at the entrance of the alley, but the people who came to watch the excitement together were all fried.
"Impossible, the Qingyun Sect specializes in doing good deeds, how can they abduct and sell children?"
