Chapter 54: Not the End, but the Beginning

This is the first time everyone has heard Gu Changqing scold like this, if he hadn't been forced to a certain level, he wouldn't have done so.

Many times, he seems indifferent, even a little cold, but those are the protective film he has constructed to hide his inner fears.

Xie Ling looked at Gu Changqing with an angry face, but felt that he was extremely real like this.

Gu Changqing walked to the man's side and held his shoulders tightly with both hands, "Are you sure you continue to keep your mouth hard?" ”

"Tell me, you ask, I'll say whatever you ask." The man lay on the ground, grinning with aching teeth.

"There." The man pointed to the stove in the room outside and said, "There it is." ”

Gu Changqing glanced at him, Jiancheng immediately walked over, opened the lid, and there was nothing, but the pot was loose, and it was easily lifted, and there was a black hole below, I don't know where it leads.

Gu Changqing let go, thinking that he would go and see it himself. The man who was still lying on the ground just now got up instantly, pushed Gu Changqing away, and jumped towards the hole.

The man disappeared into the black rumbling hole in an instant.

Gu Changqing jumped down without saying a word, it was very dark inside, and he couldn't see anything, so he shouted to the top, "Built, throw the candle down." ”

Immediately after that, there was the sound of a person jumping down again, and Gu Changqing looked back to see that only Xie Ling was holding a fire fold in that area and lighting a candle.

There was a faint wind at the entrance of the cave, and the candles that had just been lit trembled as if they might be extinguished at any moment.

Gu Changqing took the candle, he didn't know whether it was safe or not in this hole, and the man who jumped down just now was not in sight, he dragged Xie Ling behind him, and slowly walked forward by the light of the candle.

The darkness was illuminated by the light of the candles, and it became more and more dim and dark.

He frowned, the feeling of fear in the darkness began again, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead, and he shook his head, trying to clear himself up.

Xie Ling stepped forward and grabbed his hand, "I'm scared in the back. ”

Gu Changqing glanced at it, then held it tightly, and the two of them walked forward side by side, and after a few steps, they saw a dark shadow looming in the light.

"Be careful." Gu Changqing whispered.

The two of them walked towards the black shadow, and when they arrived in front of the black shadow, they found that this person was the man just now, and he stood there motionless, and did not speak, but his two eyes kept scurrying.

Gu Changqing asked in front of him, "What?" Don't run away? ”

The man's eyes moved from side to side, meaning that he would not escape.

"Speak." Gu Changqing said angrily.

The man still moved his eyes from side to side.

"I think he's doing a lot of bad things." Xie Ling said on the side.

Gu Changqing glanced at him with disdain and said, "What about those children?" ”

The man continued to stare ahead with his eyes, blinking incessantly.

Gu Changqing and Xie Ling guessed about the same, and when they turned around a corner, they saw children lying on the ground.

They crouched down and sniffed, and found that several of the children were probably just asleep.

Gu Changqing took a closer look at this underground secret room, and it was sealed, there was a small hole in a small unobtrusive place, which was probably used for ventilation, and there was something blocking the wall, which should be prepared for sound suppression.

The place is very large, and it should be okay to fit dozens of children, but this only found three or four, and in short, I felt that something was wrong.

I wanted to ask the man, but he was still in the evil spirit, and he couldn't even speak.

After going up again, he sent a few servants down to bring the children up, and also carried up the man who wanted to escape to the inexplicable evil.

He walked outside to the courtyard, where the few people who tried to resist were being guarded, "Which of you tell me, what's going on?" ”

Several people lowered their heads, looked at each other left and right, and a somewhat chubby man said, "My lord, this business has not been easy to do in the past two years, we have been entrenched here for more than ten years, and now the buyers and sellers are close to saturation, there is no market and no supply?" So that's it, it's nice that we can feed ourselves! ”

Xie Ling was not happy when he heard this, "Then you mean that you can't steal the child, and you have to blame others for not having enough children." ”

The man shook his head quickly, "That's not what I meant!" ”

"I know what you mean, your stronghold has shifted!" Gu Changqing looked at the sleeping children and said.

On the way back, Gu Changqing roughly calculated, whether it was the children found in Qingyun Temple or the children found in that dilapidated village, there were more than twenty in total. There were more than 30 monks and several people from the buying and selling gangs who were arrested. Coupled with the servants he brought, dozens of people returned to Yong'an City

As soon as I entered the city gate, I saw many people kneeling at the city gate to greet them.

When I first came, he was very low-key, and few people knew that he was the county magistrate. But I didn't expect that in more than a month, there would be such a scene of reception by the people.

He hurriedly dismounted, and one by one helped those who knelt down and shouted to the Lord Qingtian.

He just wanted to support justice with his enthusiasm, and he didn't think about the name of the Qingtian Lord.

Those ethereal things are not real, and it is easy to make people dizzy.

Return to the county office. First and foremost, the most important thing is to get out the portraits of the children who have been brought back and put them up.

Whoever loses the child will receive it, but it must be recorded, if the child recognizes it at first sight and calls you Daddy, you can take it directly.

But the child hesitates, and further investigation is needed to see if it is the child's father.

Secondly, the most important thing was the trial, the trial of more than thirty people, one by one, and finally seven were convicted.

And those monks of Qingyun Temple, after investigating them one by one, proved that they really didn't know what the host did.

After all of them were released, there was one of the most special people who didn't know what to do with it.

A person who has been involved but can't bear to solve it.

The little monk, he was raised by the host, and he would bring food to those children every day at the request of the host.

Say that he is not involved, but he knows, and say that he is involved in a child, what can a child do and understand?

Before those monks left the county government, Gu Changqing also deliberately asked what their plans were in the future.

The supervisor of Qingyun Temple said, "Where are the plans, Qingyun Temple can't stay anymore, after going back, we will dismiss them all and find a way out." ”

If something like that happens in Qingyun Temple, it is estimated that there will be no incense in the future, and dismissal is also a matter that has to be carried out.

Faced with such an answer, he still decided to leave the little monk behind. He knows the pain of a person's life, those things that he has experienced, and he doesn't want him to go through it too.

A large number of people have been solved, and the rest are those few people who have serious cases.

Xiao Baisheng, the man of the buying and selling gang, Ling Feng, and the presiding master of Qingyun Temple, Master Wuchen.

Master Wuchen has solved it on his own, which can be regarded as a confession, and he also confessed to the little monk before his death that he would take them to find that den after his death, which can be regarded as a meritorious service.

Xiao Baisheng has also gone crazy and talks nonsense all day long, but for the sake of him not directly buying and selling children, he still just sentenced him to life imprisonment, even if he is released directly, he may not be able to live, and spending the rest of his life in this prison can be regarded as a place that can solve the problem of food and clothing.

And Ling Feng, Gu Changqing did not show the slightest mercy to his subordinates, and made a decisive decision.

On that day, above the great hall of his judgment, he confessed everything. Li Hongsheng's death was committed by the killer he was looking for, and the sale of children was also promoted by him behind the scenes, and most of the corpses in the cave came from his hands.

In prison, he was beaten countless times, and he almost collapsed.

Gu Changqing has already confessed, everyone has to accept punishment for their mistakes, those criminals can't get used to people who trade children like this, so they beat him desperately, let him ask for help, and the officials just didn't hear it.

As long as there is still a breath left on the day of the execution.

After his trial, Gu Changqing took advantage of the fact that no one had seen him, he had a question, and he knew that there was no answer, but he still wanted to find out.

"You may think you're smart. But I've seen a lot of your tricks to confess your sins like this, and you just want to keep something, whether it's your relatives, family or money. But, as long as you are willing to say it, I will do my best to keep what you want to keep! Gu Changqing also sat on the hay in the prison.

Ling Feng just raised his head, glanced at him, and didn't say anything.

"I know you won't tell, and I'm just bored to ask. But that day, why did you go and jump, knowing that there was nowhere to run from that place. ”

Ling Feng was still silent. Since the day he confessed his guilt, he no longer insisted on it.

Gu Changqing looked at his silent appearance and couldn't help but laugh, "I know, you went in to destroy the startup thing. That thing might betray some people, right? But you don't expect that you will suddenly be unable to move. ”

The man was no longer indifferent when he heard this, and his hand was fiercely formed into a fist underneath.

However, these were all seen by Gu Changqing. That's what he wants!

Xie Ling told him that she saw the Liu family that day. Ling Feng suddenly couldn't move, it should have been her doing!

Regarding what the fat man said, Gu Changqing had already sent documents to the border county government, and the names, residences, and dens of the people behind them were all clearly written.

So far, this gang of human trafficking has come to a probable conclusion.

However, at night, Gu Changqing was lying on the bed, and suddenly felt that all this had happened too smoothly, whether it was the Qiuyue Inn, the Qingyun Temple, or the dilapidated village.

It's all like someone else has planned a path. Just waiting for him to go.

However, just like Xie Ling said, it was Li Hongsheng who had been helping them, but those people confessed their sins too smoothly.

It's like I knew it was going to be like this.

Before he finally fell asleep, he was vaguely sure in his heart that this was not the end. It seems to be the beginning.

The beginning of the chess game played by the man behind him.

And whether it is Xiao Baisheng or Ling Feng or the fat man or the abbot, they are just a chess piece at the beginning, and they have never even had a chance to go on!

However, what is the purpose of that person behind the scenes, who would sacrifice himself so much to get into this bureau.

He couldn't figure it out. I don't want to think about it anymore.

It's late at night, and darkness is the best protective color! Then let them be in the dark for a moment.

As for him, there are more important things.
