Boss Xue in the room was dumbfounded.

All the abducted women and children were taken over by the Immortal Division, and the brothers were not allowed to work until the next transaction.

How can I trade without goods? How to explain to the buyer?

The deposit has been collected!

Although the truth is indeed as Boss Xue just said, the two sides have been trading for several years and have never seen the true face of the buyer, but this does not prevent Boss Xue from knowing the strength of the other party's ability.

The gates of Kyoto Castle have not been closed for hundreds of years, but it does not mean that anyone and goods can enter and exit at will, and the thousands of forbidden troops guarding the gates and the eight battalions stationed outside the city are not decorations.

All persons entering and leaving Kyoto must provide a wayfinding or corresponding identification, and all goods must be opened for inspection and tax paid.

Over the years, the mysterious buyer has bought no less than a thousand people from Boss Xue, and the total number of the other three cities is as high as five or six thousand.

With so many abducted women and children, how did the buyers transport them out of the city?

Just thinking about this question made Boss Xue shudder.

"Second brother, can you believe that your surname is Rong? Does he really want to work with us to make money, or does he have another purpose?"

"Big brother, now that it is clear that the surname Rong is staring at our brothers, whether he is sincere or fake, our brothers have no way out."

"What do you mean?"

"Although the buyer's power is unfathomable, Rong Fei's knife has been put on his neck, and it is always good to live a few more days. And cooperating with the Immortal Division, there may not be a glimmer of life."

"My lord, just now, the arrester of the Immortal Division took the order signed by Rong Fei and transferred a large number of arresters from our yamen and the criminal department, and divided them into three batches and went straight to the three cities in the east, west and north, it seems that they are going to do it."

Kong Xiwen hurriedly ran into the bedroom and said to Chen Xiusong, who was lying on the bed.

"Alas, eventful, eventful! Looks like it's time for me to change places."

Chen Xiusong sat up and sighed with a sad face.

"My lord, forgive the students for being blunt, it's just human trafficking, why is this so? You've put in a lot of effort to secure your current position, and if you hold on for a few more years, you'll have a chance to leave the cabinet and pay respects, so it's a shame to give up now."

Kong Xiwen asked puzzled.

"You're still young, and you're too shallow in some things. Let me ask you, so far, how many reports of missing people have been received in the Yamen this year?"

"Well, there should be more than 300 of them."

Kong Xiwen replied uncertainly.

"It's been a whole year last year."

Chen Xiusong asked again.

"About five or six hundred."

"How many people have been recovered?"

"There are less than ten people, and the rest of the missing people are missing."

"That's the problem. In less than two years, seven or eight hundred people have come to the Yamen to report the case, and there will only be more who have not reported the case. I guess I guessed that since I took over as Kyoto Prefecture Yoin, Kyoto City has inexplicably disappeared far more than 10,000 people. More than 10,000 people have not seen their lives or bodies, where can they go?"

"Most of them were smuggled out of the city and sold."

"From which gate?" How to get out? Why didn't the forbidden army defending the city report it? Are they all blind and foolish?"

Hiss!

Kong Xiwen couldn't help but gasp.

He really hadn't seriously thought about this question before, but now that Chen Xiusong said it, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

The Forbidden Army is involved in human trafficking!

The two are also teachers and friends, and their relationship is irreversible. Therefore, just looking at Kong Xiwen's expression, Chen Xiusong had already guessed what he was thinking.

"After all, the military is not as rich as civilian officials, and it would be better to say that the forbidden army is just for money. But if you think about it, the people who are being sold are women and children. A woman's beauty can make money, but what can a child do with it?"

"Death... Dead soldiers! My lord, do you suspect that Fan Liren's assassination some time ago has something to do with human trafficking?"

"Shhhhhh No

Quiet. It's all just speculation, I just hope I'm wrong."

"When did you find out, my lord?"

"Why has there been an increasing backlog of cases in Kyoto over the years? It's not that the official doesn't have the ability to solve the case, he really doesn't dare. If all the other cases are solved, but the number of missing cases is accumulating, the Holy Lord and the cabinet will inevitably be suspicious. In desperation, I can only ignore all the cases, and the water is hidden in the sea, so naturally no one will find out."

"Then why didn't you stop the Immortal Division coming to investigate the case this time, my lord?"

"Block? Hehehe, to put it lightly. What do you want your official to stop, and why do you stop it? That Rong Fei came out of thin air, and he didn't even pay attention to the household department and Jingyuan Houfu, how could I fight with him as a small mansion Yin.

At that time, I could only secretly pray that Rong Fei would not find the clues, but it backfired. The old man's forbearance over the years has been in vain, and it is very fortunate not to be implicated."

Steward Liu escorted the murder suspects Shi Huanxi and Zheng Hang to the Immortal Division, and the victim's body was also taken away. The frightened Haruka will not be able to pick up customers in the near future, and will be placed in the backyard to recuperate, and the dead man's room will also be closed.

There was no excitement to see, and the crowd of onlookers dispersed, but the heat of the murder and the topics it caused became the focus of people's discussions.

In particular, watching Eifei, who has recently become famous in Kyoto City, handle the case himself, and everyone's interest is even higher.

On the first floor, the poetry club was attended by some well-known literati in Kyoto City, or young talents who came to Beijing from all over the world to find opportunities to become famous.

Seeing that the murder has been dealt with, the first floor has resumed its liveliness, the audience has reappeared, and the poetry meeting has been able to continue.

It's a pity that although the audience has returned to their seats, their interests and topics are no longer related to the poetry club, and they are all discussing the murder and honor just now.

The news of the emperor and Rong Fei's confession has spread.

Rong Fei, who has the triple identity of the royal prince, the first arrester in the world, and the head of the five products of the Immortal Division, and solves the case into the gods, is obviously more topical and gossip than the poetry club.

The first poets to compose poems were those who were younger or less talented. After bringing them to set up the atmosphere, it is the moment when some talented and experienced talents shine on the stage.

Moreover, every time the poetry meeting, the initiator will invite several seniors to come to the town, in the name of pointing to knowledge, but in fact, he wants to use the mouth of these seniors to promote the name of the reserve.

The initiator of today's poetry meeting is Ren Jinhan, the son of the new Ministry of Rites, and invited two Hanlin Xu Jingchuan and Kou Yucheng to come to the town.

In order to set off the cold atmosphere as soon as possible, Ren Jianhan sent two talented people who were already well-known in Kyoto to compose poems, and after the poems were completed, they were recited by two Hanlin respectively.

The poems made by these two talents are good, and the two Hanlin are also quite hardworking, and the recitation is full of emotion and hoarseness.

But after the recitation, there were very few people who applauded in the audience, and most of them were still talking about the murder and honor just now.

Not only are the onlookers in the outer circle, but also many talented Confucian students in the inner circle who participate in the poetry club.

Ren Jinhan's eyes swept to the position of Liu Yingrong and Zhu Leyao, Liu Yingrong is one of the four princes of Kyoto City, the first of the four beauties, and a frequent visitor to the big and small poetry clubs.

But Zhu Leyao, who was sitting next to Liu Yingrong, Ren Jinhan didn't recognize it.

Although Zhu Leyao is also dressed as a man, how can he hide Ren Jinhan, a veteran of flowers. At a glance, it can be seen that she is a woman, and her status is not low. Otherwise, it would not be so close to Liu Yingrong.

Liu Yingrong's dislike of men is known to all the people in the capital, so she gave up the idea of marrying a wife and climbing high branches. I just don't know if this delicate and lovely woman who pretends to be a man and can't hide her cute and lovely is the daughter of the *** family, and whether she is also as disgusted with men as Liu Yingrong and Liu Gongzi.

Therefore, this poetry meeting, in addition to making a name for himself through poetry, all the talented people have one more idea to attract the favor and heart of this mysterious beauty.

But at this time, the thoughts of the guests and beauties

All turned to the murder just now and the body of Rong Fei, which made Ren Jinhan, the initiator of the poetry club, and a group of talented Confucian students who came with expectations very depressed.

Each table at the poetry meeting was equipped with pen, ink and paper, so that the draft could be typed before the poem was written. At this time, Liu Yingrong scribbled on the paper with a brush in her hand, and Zhu Leyao said something with great interest on the side.

Liu Yingrong is not composing poems, but displaying the clues and evidence in the murder case just now, and Zhu Leyao is supplementing.

Soon all the clues and evidence were sorted out, Liu Yingrong bit the tip of her pen and said with a frown.

"With only this clue and evidence, how Rong Fei deduced the murderer and the entire crime process, as if he had watched it with his own eyes, this is too incredible."

"Hehe, I'll just say that Rong Fei is very powerful. You can't even do it, sister, doesn't it mean that Rong Fei is better than you."

Zhu Leyao's eyes were almost smiling into a pair of crescent moons, and she said happily.

"You two are still at a glance, and now you are starting to sell and boast about yourself. Be careful to rejoice in the last emptiness."

Liu Yingrong knocked Zhu Leyao's head with the barrel of her pen and laughed.

"Rong Fei is really powerful, but I'm not because... Because... What is the reason to praise him, didn't the emperor's brother also recognize his talent and named him the first in the world?" Z.br>

The two girls were smiling and laughing, not noticing that Ren Jianhan had come around behind them at some point.

The second daughter's voice was very low, and Ren Jinhan naturally couldn't hear it, but Liu Yingrong's words on the paper were clearly visible.

Another homicide!

It's Rong Fei again!

This surnamed Rong is here to make trouble today, why was all the limelight robbed by him.

It's just a shit lucky little official, why!

Ren Jinhan thought resentfully in his heart.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the building, and Ren Jinhan heard someone exclaim.

"Look, that's Miss Rue's personal maid?"

Ren Jinhan was refreshed when he heard this, and immediately put those irrelevant things behind, and after tidying up his clothes, he put one hand behind him and the other in front of him, and looked in the direction that everyone pointed out with the posture that best reflected his temperament.

I saw a delicate maid, holding a bouquet of pale yellow rue flowers in her hands, slowly walking down the spiral staircase from the patio from the sixth floor.

At this time, not only the first floor, but also the second, third, fourth, and fifth floors heard the news, gathered on the railing by the verandah, and stared at the maid holding the yellow flower in her hand.

"Is the poetry meeting over, and Miss Rue has started to choose people?"

"No, we're only halfway there."

"What's going on?"

"You ask me, how do I know, and look at it."

Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, the maid holding the yellow flower in her hand did not have the slightest nervousness and panic, with a faint smile on her face, she walked slowly without squinting, and when she reached the staircase on the second floor, her body suddenly changed direction, and she stopped in front of a room on the second floor with a closed door.

"Huh! Why don't you go to the poetry club on the first floor?"

Someone wondered.

"You don't know who's in that room, do you?"

Someone next to him laughed strangely.

"Who is it?"

"Isn't that the room that Rong Fei entered just now, why did the little girl with the yellow flower go there, is it to find Rong Fei?"

Zhu Leyao grabbed Liu Yingrong's arm and asked strangely.

Rong Fei!

It's Rong Fei again!

How come there is this guy everywhere!

Hearing Rong Fei's name, Ren Jinhan's face was a little deformed with anger.
