Chapter 193: Remnants of Brocade (1)
The little girl raised in this small place is not a stunning beauty, just a small jasper; The horizon is so wide, I just want to start a family with the man I like and be a housewife who does laundry and cooking. As long as there is hot soup and hot water, there is a very small and unproductive wish.
With the man who is adrift in the river, whether it is Li Chun or Lu Xiyue, he can't help but be attracted by this little girl who has no prospects, probably because she represents the smallest and most difficult wish, a home. Willow Branch feels like home. Her diligence, her good cooking, even her verbosity and her tacky short-sightedness are all homely. Li Chun, who got her, refused to let go, and those who didn't get it won't easily forget.
Lu Xiyue is a deep-minded person, he has never revealed his feelings, but Bai Lin is very sensitive. And in a certain nature, Lu Xiyue is also the same as him and Li Chun.
The lives of the three people are completely different now, happy or unhappy, you can tell at a glance. Just because one of them has a home, the home of dreams.
Bai Lin lowered his head and buried it in the palm of his hand, he didn't want to think about it, let alone admit that he was actually no worse luck than Li Chun, and there was also a same chubby, silly girl who crashed into his palm, but he let her go.
······
Mrs. Wang's eldest sister was married in Dayue Village, Yuenan County, and Hongze Hukou, where Mrs. Xu and her little son were killed, was in Xiaoyue Village, Yueping County. Just by hearing the name, you know that the two places are very close to each other.
However, this woman had already fallen ill and died last year, and the family did not know what had happened. Bai Lin had the official document issued by Lu Xiyue in his hand, covered with the bright red seal of the commander of the Nanquan Metropolitan of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er, saying that the person who took the official document was ordered to investigate the case here, and he was silent. The county magistrate of Yuenan County was taken aback when he saw it, and received him respectfully, and allocated two officials to Bai Lin to send him, and he didn't dare to ask him about specific matters.
Bai Lin had both silver and the tiger skin given by Lu Xiyue in his hand, and the subordinates ran errands like they were working hard, and the progress went very smoothly, and within three days, they arrested the well-known local people who bought and sold boys twenty years ago, such as Yazi and Wenpo, both men and women. The prison in this small county town was overcrowded for a while.
Filter one first, and then pick up a few and hit a few sticks with a strong body, and beat them screaming continuously, until they broke their legs and vomited blood, and scared everyone so that their lips and faces turned white. Bai Lin was inconvenient to involve Mrs. Xu's death at this time, so she could only start with Wang Da and his wife. Buyable children generally do not ask the name of the buyer, which is also a consideration for cutting off future troubles. Just talking about who sold a boy between the ages of about one and two years old in the winter of the eighth year of Chengping, who looks very decent, should come from a large family, give such a range.
How can these people easily admit that they have abducted and sold children, and they only keep shouting that they are wronged, and they all say that they are serious middlemen who have filed cases with the government, and that the transactions are both voluntary, that both the money and the goods are paid, and that the deeds are clearly and clearly signed.
"Master Qingtian, we are not the people who lack virtue, we are doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, and if there are more children in the family, we will go home for three or five years, and our parents are grateful to us."
"Yes, you can't wronged a good person, the old woman here specializes in sending maids and boys to big families, and never deals with that improper place, every transaction has a deed, which can be found in the official archive."
"I really sent a male doll to Wang Yuanwai's family, but the male doll was handed over to me by the clan after both parents died, and I still have the black and white words I wrote here. The king is also from other provinces, and the two of them have never had children, so they treat this male doll as a treasure, which should also be regarded as a merit. The child is now married, and he got a grandson outside the old man and made a special trip to ask someone to send me a thank you gift, isn't this right? ”
Bai Lin is not the one who listens to their blind coaxing, and orders that all these useless people should be whipped? These people are habitual offenders for many years, how many babies have been born in their hands in their twenties, and where have they not touched a few lives in their hands, they beg for mercy in their mouths and secretly complain in their stomachs, but they are afraid that the relatives of which children are now rich and powerful, and revenge is coming. If you say this, you are afraid that you will not be able to escape death, and one by one you will die hard and only desperately shout injustice.
Bai Lin's black hair is tied in a high bun, tied with a sea dragon to grab the pearl and wipe the forehead, the bead is a real thumb-sized round pearl, the long eyebrows are bent like a crescent moon, the eyes are dark blue like gems, the lip color is as pale as nothing, the facial features are bewitching, and a good woman may not be able to. Wearing a bright apricot color roller embroidered four-fold Ruyi pine moire robe, a pair of cloud head shoes on his feet, and a fur cloak on the outside, the white fox came out to set off more and more white as jade, and the whole person bloomed like a white lotus in the bloody and rancid cell that emanated.
Such a seemingly beautiful and fragile person is completely different from ordinary people, and he doesn't frown at the torture and bitter scenes, and seems to appreciate it very much.
Bai Lin picked up one of the case files, this person is a real abductor, but he has been living with one of the Ya Po for a long time, and the abducted person is handed over to Ya Po to train and sell it seriously. This man is a man of many evil deeds, and he sold several young girls three years ago, and he has ravaged them before.
Bai Lin discussed with the county magistrate of Yuenan County to take this out for surgery. The county order was bitter, and this mysterious young man didn't know what case to handle, and he wanted to do it in his own land. However, the evidence of this villain's crime is conclusive, and he is not embarrassed by himself, so he sent an official document and wrote a report to report it to him, and here he allowed Bai Lin to go to the county government to publicly beat thirty boards and then stand in the flail.
There has not been such a sensation in the small place for a long time, and there was a crowd of people in front of the county yamen for a while. When the literate shook his head and read the proclamation, explaining who this man was and what he had done, the crowd was immediately indignant.
"My cousin had a baby at the beginning, and he was taken away by someone when he was watching the lanterns during the Lantern Festival, but my poor cousin couldn't afford to go like this."
"Yes, yes, we have a family and property outside, and the life is very beautiful, and a ten-year-old sister in the family was abducted by a wet nurse and a pretending merchant at the door of the house. Zhang Yuanwai spent a lot of money to find this sister, searched for several years, and finally found it in that unsightly place, and sold all the family's property before ransom the person back. In the end, I still couldn't bear the gossip that Sister hanged herself, and Zhang Yuanwai was also crazy, and now you go to Qiaotou Town and see an old madman who shouts Sister Gui in his mouth - Sister Gui is the original Zhang Yuanwai. ”
"Alas, so this kidnapper is hateful, where can I not earn a bowl of rice to eat in the Qingping world, I have to do these immoral things that cut off children and grandchildren."
"Lord Qingtian caught this crutch! This kind of person should have his head cut off! ”
"Lord Qingtian!" "Lord Qingtian!"
"Kill him, kill this kidnapper!!"
The cries came and went, the crutches who had been beaten by the board were already beaten to sparse flesh and skin, and their breath was dying, and they could barely stand by relying on the cage, and the wooden shackles around their necks were difficult enough, and no matter how excited the people were to throw the vegetable skins and garbage, they bent down to pick up a handful of sand and threw it over without anything, and the head of the crutches was broken and bleeding with a bang. Maybe it was the blood that stimulated the crowd, or maybe there were people who were among the victims who couldn't hold it back, rushed over first, cried and shouted, grabbed the kidnapper, opened their mouths and bit off a piece of meat alive.
The crowd was like a swarm of excited ants, and the messenger couldn't get away with water and fire sticks, and everyone wanted to take a bite or punch the crutch that should have been cut with a thousand cuts.
Bai Lin, who was watching inside, gently ordered to go down, and the cha ya, who suddenly realized it, hurriedly went to find a big wooden barrel, and after receiving the water, he threw buckets into the crowd one after another, and the people quickly woke up in the scolding, and realized what they had done and retreated in horror. But the law does not blame the public, and the instant of a swarm of bees runs cleanly.
