Chapter 861: Too Similar
"You're talking nonsense."
It was the kid who was in the county government just now who spoke, and he pointed to the fat steward: "You are very bad to us, you don't give us food, you don't give us warmth, you beat us at every turn, and some of your friends are even sold by you."
Zhao Rui was furious this time: "The Salesian Institute was established by the imperial court to let those orphans of the soldiers and the children of those who lost their relatives have a good life. For this reason, the imperial court allocates a huge amount of money every year, and you are not only greedy for the maintenance money of the Mo imperial court, but also treat these children like this, you deserve to be killed."
"You."
The steward was terrified.
They looked at Tong County Order, and Tong County Order shouted, "Look at it, he is Your Majesty, and no one can save you."
The fat and strong steward fainted directly when he heard the word "Your Majesty".
Fang Mengfu instructed Long Wei: "Bring a bucket of cold water, splash them awake, just let them faint, and cheapen them."
"No, no."
I thought that if I pretended to be dizzy, I could escape everything for the time being.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty spares your life, we, we can't do anything about it."
"Still making excuses."
From the moment he entered the door, Zeng Shengji, led by another child, went to search the courtyards of the two stewards, and found a large amount of jewelry.
Zeng Shengji asked Long Wei to carry two large boxes of jewelry to the living room, and when the box was put down, because the jewelry was still important in itself, the dust in the living room was shaken and flew everywhere.
"Ahem, ahem."
"Come, look, whose thing is this?"
The fat steward saw that his chest of silver was being carried out, and his heart was bleeding, and he wanted to rush over to protect his property.
I can't help but say nothing.
It's not easy to have two stewards!
But they thought it was too simple, even if they said and sold the children of the Salesian Institute, it would be enough for them to sit through the prison.
If the investigation reveals that there is a human life in hand, don't try to save this life.
Zeng Shengji brought not only two large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, but also a list of orphans who had been adopted for so many years.
"Two copies?"
Zhao Rui opened the list and quickly saw the problem, and the fake list directly slapped the fat steward's face: "A Salesian home, you have made so many famous halls, and you can think of a fake list. Gu Qing, the children on this list are personally verified by you to find out where they went, if there are any details, even if they are interrogated, whether they are alive or dead."
"Yes."
This time, the steward was completely frightened and fainted.
The messenger took all the cadres of the Salesian House to the county government and waited for their arrival.
Gu Qingjue checked the list non-stop, fortunately, the Salesian Institute was established in the past three years, because of the unification of Western Xia Dali, it was inevitable that there would be casualties among soldiers, and there were indeed more orphans than in previous years, and the imperial court decided to set up a Salesian Institute in the local area for the sake of these children, and adopted these orphans, hoping that they could grow up healthy and safe in the Salesian Hospital, and if they could learn a trade, they would be able to support themselves in the future.
"There are hundreds of orphans on this list, but when I counted the number just now, there were only seventy-six."
Gu Qingjue nodded: "I checked the roster, and there are eleven people who have been adopted, seven people have died of illness, and six people are missing. Together with the two recovered, there are one hundred and two in all."
Su Yixin calculated: "Then there are five more!"
Five children, unclear, are all living lives.
The two did not immediately go to the county jail, but first questioned the children of the Salesian House one by one to see if they knew any of the children and knew their whereabouts.
The two went to ask about the child's situation, but the first thing the child said was, "Are you good people?"
"Sister Xiaogu, don't be afraid, they are good people, and I am the one they found."
Xiao Gu looked only about four or five years old, thin, obviously in the Salesian Hospital, but her little face was dirty, and none of the clothes on her body were clean.
"One scoop brother, one day brother, where have you been, I haven't seen you for many days, Xiaogu misses you so much."
"I went out one day, thinking if I could meet a kind person and give us something to eat, but I fainted somehow, and when I woke up, I was locked in a room and not allowed to go out."
When Xiao Gu heard the words of Yishu, he cried out "wow": "Brother Yixiao, brother one day, I thought you were like Brother Yishu, and they will never come back when they leave."
"It's okay, it's okay."
Yi Scoop is eight years old, but he already looks old, and he quickly calms Xiaogu.
This is also due to the fact that they take care of Xiaogu on weekdays, otherwise they would not be so dependent on them.
"Now believe we're good people, give, I'll give you candy."
Su Yixin just gave candy to Xiaogu for the sake of questioning, a child, and a child in the Salesian Hospital, in this case, it should be very rare to be able to eat sugar.
I thought she would be very happy to take it, but I didn't think that she was so guarded.
Xiao Gu nodded, then took the sugar, tore the sugar coating, and happily held it in his mouth: "It's so sweet."
Xiao Gu's immature child's voice, when she said the words so sweet, Su Yixin's eyes suddenly turned red. In this world, there are still many children, and even eating a piece of candy is a luxury.
There was a lot of food in the storage bag, and after giving it to them, the Dragon Guard asked the dragon guards to make food for the children.
Next, Feng Zhutou and Wang Zhutou of the county government began to question the five children who disappeared from the list in batches.
The five children, all boys, are all seven years old, and Su Yixin is keenly aware of the information collected from the head-catching inquiry, and the birth dates of these five children are very special.
The reason why we know the birth date of the five people is because these five people are the children of normal people, and the birth date is registered with the government, and the children are not only four or five years old, but they are all twelve years old, and they came to the Salesian Institute two years ago, which means that they were already ten years old when they came.
"Five children, too similar, too similar to that one more than twenty years ago!"
Gu Qingjue held Su Yixin's hand, he knew which time Su Yixin was talking about, it was the murder case that she had helped Zhu Fuming and Yan Renxu solve not long after she arrived at Gu's house.
There were also five victims, but all five of them were women, and this time the five children who did not see anyone alive or dead were all boys.
Back at the county office, Su Yixin didn't speak. She couldn't figure out the connection yet.
Wang Xiaotian was using evil magic at that time, he used the special birth date of five women to get her blood, it was supposed to perform a ritual to obtain a mysterious power to change his face for the better.
However, because of her intervention, Wang Xiaotian did not succeed.
