In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Chapter 192 The Gang is Huge

Chen Ruotong rolled her eyes and smiled slyly, "Of course, we hide them in a safe place."

Then, she had an idea and remembered that another four-courtyard mansion she had purchased not long ago was still vacant, so she quickly added: "If Lord Zhen is anxious to solve the case, you might as well come with me to interrogate the criminal." After that, the group quickly arrived at the door of the new house.

Chen Ruotong took out the key and unlocked the door, and everyone filed in. The yard was dark, silent, and unattended.

Qiao Zien took out a lighter and lit the lantern on the porch. Chen Ruotong hurried to a house and then released the couple and eleven children in the space.

The children were still sleeping soundly. When the couple came out of the space, they looked confused, not knowing what had happened.

Chen Ruotong ran out of the room and shouted loudly: "Master Zhen, the person is here!"

Qiao Zien entered the house first with a lantern in hand, instantly lighting up the entire room.

At this time, the couple suddenly realized that they had been knocked unconscious and brought into this dark room.

At this moment, the eleven children were lying neatly on the big bed.

Before the two men could speak, Zhen Yu's face was gloomy and he asked sternly, "Whose instructions did you two receive to be so bold as to openly kidnap children?

According to Daliang law, anyone who kidnaps and sells children from decent families will be punished with fifty strokes of the cane and ten years in prison! "

When the two men saw Zhen Yu and Wei Bufan in official uniforms, they knew that they had fallen into the hands of the government.

But they still refused to give up and tried to argue. The man said, "Sir, I am just a middleman, not a kidnapper.

These children all have indentures, and we can show them to you to prove our innocence." As he spoke, he quickly reached out and pulled out a stack of indentures from his bosom.

Everyone knew that this so-called indenture was most likely forged and could not be used as evidence at all.

Wei Bufan was always decisive and he hated procrastination. Therefore, without saying anything, he tortured the two men.

How could the two men withstand such torture? They could no longer endure the pain and begged for mercy: "Sir, please spare my life... I will tell you... I will tell you everything..."

It turned out that they were just two of a group that trafficked in women and children. The gang was so huge that they didn't even know how many people there were.

They were only responsible for sending the abducted children to the capital, to a man named Xiong Ge, and then going out to sell the children.

They had no idea where the child was sold to.

The two men knocked out the dozen or so children, brought them to the inn, and then transported them to the capital city after they had enough food in two carts.

Chen Ruotong had already woken up the children. After waking up, the children were scared and thought they were going to be beaten and take medicine again.

Chen Ruotong comforted them, "Don't be afraid, kids. The bad guys have been caught by the government. Don't worry, you will be reunited with your family soon..."

Qiao Zien and Chen Ruotong asked about the children's home addresses in detail and found that they came from different places, including Pingyang Prefecture, Chaoyang Prefecture, Qingyang Prefecture, etc.

These children come from different backgrounds, some are from wealthy families, and some are from poor families. But no matter what their backgrounds are, these children have one thing in common: they are good-looking.

Zhen Yu secretly wondered about the future fate of these children. If nothing unexpected happened, they might be sold to brothels or prostitutes.

Zhen Yu seemed to have some impression of the man called "Brother Xiong".

After some thought, he remembered that this person was most likely Chunxilou's thug.

When he was investigating the human trafficking cases of Liang Zhilan and Su Kexin, he had been to Chunxi Tower and noticed that the prostitutes there were generally younger and had good looks.

Moreover, their accents were all different, and it was obvious that they were trafficked from various places.

Now hearing the man's description of Brother Xiong's appearance, which was exactly the same as the man he had seen before, made Zhen Yu even more convinced that Liang Zhilan was involved in human trafficking.

Now there is some progress in the case. After a few more days of investigation, we will be able to conclude the case and arrest the suspect.

Zhen Yu sent a team of people overnight to throw the two kidnappers into the prison. He sent the eleven children to the guest room in the back house of the Dali Temple and took good care of them. He first notified their families that the children had been found, and after the case was closed, their families would take them away.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Chen Ruotong and Qiao Zien returned to Huicui Building.

Old man Chen and old lady Chen had not gone to bed yet. They were sitting in the living room, chatting and waiting for Chen Ruotong to return.

Chen Ruotong saw that the light was on in Old Mrs. Chen's room and knew that she had not rested yet, so she decided to go visit her first.

She knocked gently on the door, and it opened quickly. Old Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "Why did you come back so late, kid? Grandpa and grandma have been thinking about you."

Chen Ruotong smiled and replied, "Grandma, I'm sorry to have made you worry. I just went out to take care of some things and I'm back now."

Then she turned to Old Man Chen and said, "Grandpa, your things are outside. I just had them brought in. Let me help you move them into the house."

As she spoke, Chen Ruotong walked into the darkness and waved her hand lightly, and all of Old Man Chen's belongings instantly appeared on the ground.

Chen Ruotong began to move these things into the house one by one, and Old Man Chen also hurried out to help.

He asked with concern: "Old grandson, has the convoy left? And where did you put the seeds?"

Chen Ruotong answered without hesitation: "Grandpa, don't worry, I put them in the Dali Temple."

Chen Ruotong now lies without thinking, she just opens her mouth!

Let’s talk about the owner of Yuelai Inn. He hurried to the Chaoyang Prefecture government office to report the case early in the morning.

It was said that a couple of human traffickers who often stayed at the hotel, along with the eleven children they trafficked, disappeared without a trace overnight.

And just last night, he was held hostage by two strangers and almost lost his life.

When Magistrate Ma heard this, his heart suddenly tightened and he secretly groaned.

Because those two men's moneymen were specially instructed by their superiors not to interfere in the matter.

Now two people have disappeared on his territory. How can he report this to his superiors?

Obviously, there must be some big shots backing these two gangsters, otherwise why would their superiors specifically tell them not to meddle in other people's business?

Now, Ren Yazi has disappeared inexplicably, and he may lose his official hat!

Thinking of this, Magistrate Ma could not help but break out in a cold sweat. He immediately wrote a letter to Xie Renhuai, telling him the whole story, hoping to reduce his guilt.

After all, this matter is no joke. Once it is investigated, he will be in big trouble.
