Chongzhen Chat Group

Emperor Chongzhen just exited the chat group at this time. Hearing what the man said, he couldn't help but darken his face and shouted: "You didn't break the law? Sophistry!"

Hearing this, the onlookers were stunned. Many of them had not understood the matter before, but when they heard that human trafficking was illegal, they immediately became angry.

In ancient times, although human trafficking was allowed, there were also things that were not allowed. For example, trafficking similar to that of later generations has not been allowed since the Warring States Period, and may even be punished by hanging. The buyer will be punished with a reduced crime and will not be let off.

People's hearts are full of flesh. If their children were sold, most people stared at the man, silently expressing their anger, and a few were even ready to roll up their sleeves.

When the man saw it, he was a little panicked and quickly explained: "That's not the case. Her parents are both dead. I am her uncle and the family cannot support her. Therefore, I have no choice but to become the adopted daughter of this mother to give her a way to survive." !”

As soon as they heard this, the anger in the crowd disappeared. This kind of thing was actually very common in the Ming Dynasty and understandable.

Thinking of this, these melon-eaters couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the noble young master again, their eyes seeming to blame him for making such a fuss.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen actually sneered and said, "Have you accepted the money to be her adopted daughter?"

When the man heard this, he hesitated for a moment, looked at the people around him, and guessed that he couldn't be deceived, so he had no choice but to reply: "I raised her for two years and spent a lot of money. My family is poor, so I have to collect some subsidies." For home use?"

"Haha!" Emperor Chongzhen sneered, then pointed at the man and shouted, "Look at your clothes, how poor are you?"

At this point, he shouted again: "What is your ID number? Tell it!"

The people who eat melons looked at the man. Judging from his clothes, he did not look like someone whose family was too poor to even afford a little girl.

"You have to have some dignity when you go out, right?" The man immediately defended, "My family is very poor, so I only wear this outfit when I go out."

In the south of the Yangtze River, luxury has slowly developed since the Jiajing period, and reached its peak in the early Chongzhen years. The trend of luxury has become hypocritical. For example, it is better to be hungry than to be decent.

Therefore, the people who eat melons can accept this man's explanation. Even Concubine Yuan Guifei understood his explanation, but turned to look at the little girl with tears stains, still feeling a little pity.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't hear him answer him, nor did he care about the question about his ID number. After he finished speaking, he suddenly sneered and said: "Your name is Pan Xu, Yangzhou Yi Zhenren. You are good at eating, lazy in cooking, and good at gambling. In the past two years, , almost all the girl’s family’s property was lost. She also owed gambling debts, so she set her sights on this little girl, is that right?”

This man, Pan Xu, was stunned when he heard this. He doesn't recognize this young master, but this young master is so clear about his affairs? This was completely unexpected.

When the onlookers heard this and saw Pan Xu's reaction, they were immediately sure that what this noble man said was probably true. They had never thought about why this noble young master knew so well, but they were very angry about Pan Xu and very sympathetic to the little girl. They all started talking at once, condemning this scumbag.

Pan Xu came to his senses due to their quarrel, and suddenly became angry. He waved his hand in a big circle and said: "What the hell are you guys doing? I can't support her anyway. Is it wrong to find a way for her to survive?"

It has become a fact that he loses all his wealth by gambling, so this little girl seems to have this only way out. Thinking of this, the people around them all shut up. What else could they do? The most they could do was sympathize with the little girl who met a scumbag uncle.

When Pan Xu saw the reactions of the people around him, he felt a little proud, but he felt guilty, so he was ready to take this opportunity to leave.

However, Emperor Chongzhen shouted again in time: "According to the Ming Dynasty Law, the sale of people under the age of ten is strictly prohibited; if you are over ten years old, you are not allowed to buy or sell people if you don't agree. This little girl is obviously not willing, she was coerced and induced by you ,This is a fact!"

Upon hearing this, Pan Xu was immediately stunned.

The old Ming Dynasty law, someone can actually say it at this time. If this is not everyone's acquiescence, who would care about this kind of Ming law!

The other onlookers were also stunned when they heard this.

Although the laws of the Ming Dynasty have clear regulations on the legal and extraordinary buying and selling of people. However, since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the law has long been abolished, and this kind of human trading has long become an unspoken rule. Even the government will not take the initiative to take care of this.

But at this time, someone actually cited this Ming law seriously. It's no wonder that these people who are accustomed to it are stunned.

Pan Xu came back to his senses and said angrily: "What does a child know? I am her uncle, and I let her follow this mother for her own good. It is true that she loves her family now, but when she grows up, You will know that I am doing this just for her own good!"

Among the crowd of onlookers, there was an older woman who followed the exit and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "This young master, you are so stubborn. If you cheat on this deal, even if this little girl can go back, she will definitely go back." Life will not be easy. Otherwise, forget it!"

"Yes, let's forget it. After all, we just had a good time, but this little girl might be guilty." Some older people sighed and said, "Who told her to stay at her uncle's house? !”

…

After hearing the advice from several people, Pan Xu couldn't help but feel a little proud again. He looked at Emperor Chongzhen with eyes that seemed to say, the world is big and the earth is big, no matter who you are, can you still take care of my housework?

Concubine Yuan Guifei also pulled Emperor Chongzhen's sleeve without leaving a trace, and whispered: "If the little girl goes back, this person will definitely abuse her. It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs..."

Before she could finish her words, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly shouted coldly: "If I guessed correctly, you were in a hurry to sell the little girl, and then said later that the little girl was lost, right? "

These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Pan Xu's heart, making him take a step back and stare at the young man in front of him in surprise, as if he had seen a ghost in the daytime.

The people around were shocked when they saw this situation, as if there was something hidden in it. Suddenly, everyone was very curious.

Emperor Chongzhen became a little impatient, and without waiting for Pan Xu's reply, he continued: "This little girl's father did not pass away. He just went to a different place to do business and lost all his money. He could not return home, so he worked locally to raise money. . Three days ago, her father sent an instant message home, saying that he would come back this year to celebrate the New Year. You were scared after receiving this instant message, weren't you? "

Upon hearing this, Pan Xu was so frightened that he involuntarily took two steps back, a little unsteady on his feet, and stared at Emperor Chongzhen with a look of shock.

The little girl was also shocked. She looked up at her uncle, and then at the noble young master in front of her, a little unbelievable.

When the crowd of onlookers saw this, they could tell from Pan Xu's reaction that the noble young master was right again. Suddenly, they became angry.

However, Emperor Chongzhen hadn't finished his words yet. He continued to stare at Pan Xu and shouted sternly: "If my prediction is correct, her father thinks that the family still has some money and is not worried about the lives of his wife and daughter. But he didn't expect that this little girl Her mother passed away soon, and all the family’s money was lost to this uncle. You were afraid that her father would not be able to explain it when he returned home, so you wanted to sell her as soon as possible, right? "

Pan Xu felt like the world was spinning. Why did the person in front of him know all these things? This makes no sense! Just now this man looked like he didn't know anything and wanted to ask his brother-in-law's name. What exactly is going on? Could it be... could it be that the spirit of his mother-in-law's sister appeared in heaven?

The woman who bought the girl was so frightened when she heard these words that she didn't even figure out the identity of the young man in front of her. She subconsciously softened her legs, knelt down in front of Emperor Chongzhen, and hurriedly explained: "The slave family doesn't know the inside story. , I really don’t know that the slave family also thinks that this little girl is pitiful, so they want to adopt her as their adopted daughter..."

Hearing this, Pan Xu reacted and knew that the situation was getting worse, but how could he be willing to accept it? He shouted a little hysterically: "It sounds like the truth. Who do you think you are? What are you talking about? What instant messaging?" I've never met him at all. Who is he? I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!"

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to run away. But the captain of the Jinyi Guards was spread out next to him, so how could he let him run away? Someone immediately stepped forward to block him.

Emperor Chongzhen shouted coldly: "Capture him and deliver him to the prefect of Yangzhou. Explain the situation and deal with it according to Ming law!"

"Yes!" Xiaoqi, a guard in uniform, agreed immediately.

Emperor Chongzhen then turned to look at the woman who bought the little girl. Seeing that she wanted to explain, he ignored her and said directly: "You know that the little girl is unwilling, but you are still pursuing the deal and you are just seeing this." The little girl is pretty and has a good voice, so she can make a lot of money for you. You are also an accomplice in this kind of behavior and will be escorted to the Yangzhou magistrate to deal with it. "

When the woman heard this, she was so frightened that her face turned pale. But Emperor Chongzhen wanted to punish her severely, so he ignored her and said to the little girl in a gentle tone: "If something happens to you, I will send an instant message to your father and ask him to come back as soon as possible. Before that, I How about having someone take you to the county government for resettlement, and wait until your father comes back?"

When the little girl heard that her father was still alive, she was naturally very willing. Overjoyed, he kowtowed repeatedly.

The onlookers were all happy to see such a sudden change in the plot. It would be the best to have this kind of result.

But Pan Xu was willing to give in. He suddenly shouted: "Who are you? You arranged so many things and bullied me by relying on the strength of the crowd? Oh, I understand, you must have taken a liking to her when you grow up. She must be very beautiful, right? You guys want to take advantage of others..."

His words made everyone around him stunned. Could it be that the plot has taken another turn and there are other dramas? I watched it around today and felt a little dizzy.

Emperor Chongzhen frowned when he heard this, and after sneering, he gave a slight signal to a military captain in royal robes, then ignored the matter and turned around and left.

The Imperial Guard Captain immediately took out his waistband and shouted, "Look at your dog eyes!"

Pan Xu took a closer look and was immediately frightened. He involuntarily took two steps back and fell to the ground. He never expected that he would bump into Jin Yiwei's hand.

The crowd of onlookers also saw it clearly, and they couldn't help but suddenly realized, and everyone immediately started talking excitedly.

"No wonder he is so powerful. He seems to know everything. It turns out to be Jin Yiwei!"

"Let me tell you, that noble young master just now is probably a member of the Imperial Guard. He looks noble at first glance, and he is a good person!"

"No, if I look at it from my perspective, he might be a member of the Imperial Guard Baihu! Look, there are quite a few followers!"

"..."

Listening to the chatter of the crowd around him, the military captain in imperial robes couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. This group of people guessed and guessed, and the best they could guess was Qianhu Jinyiwei. But do you know that among these people just now, there are not only commanders of the Imperial Guards, but also emperors and concubines. You are really blind!

Of course, the emperor went on patrol incognito, but he didn't have the guts to take the initiative to expose it, so he followed the emperor's instructions and took people to the Yangzhou prefecture magistrate's office. As for the little girl, he would also arrange to go to the local county office. With the endorsement of Jin Yiwei, this matter was not allowed. There will be no problem.

On the other side, Concubine Yuan Guifei was very curious and asked Emperor Chongzhen in a low voice: "Master, are all the things you just said true?"

To be honest, she felt a little incredible. After all, she was accompanying the emperor, and she basically knew who the emperor came into contact with, what information he heard from someone, and so on. She couldn't imagine how the emperor knew what happened just now, or did the emperor make it up himself?

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly at her and said, "This world belongs to you and me, so how can it be possible that your master and I don't know about the affairs of this world!"

"..." Concubine Yuan Guifei was speechless upon hearing this.

She's not in the chat group, so it's hard to explain to her. However, Emperor Chongzhen unexpectedly discovered the benefits of the new household registration management from this incident. He casually recruited Liu Xingzuo, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and said: "The new household registration system should be of great help in investigating cases. I just checked it casually and found out the relevant things. I thought about this matter, and in the future the factory guards As for the investigation, there are also local government investigations. I am considering allocating specialized personnel to assist in the investigation of the household registration system and opening up certain powers. You should have an idea of ​​​​this matter first. The person in charge of the relevant powers will sort it out first, and then report back later. I."

The establishment of the chat group household registration system allowed Emperor Chongzhen to find out a series of things about the little girl and her uncle based on family relationships when he was checking the little girl’s father. Today's matter, if there was no chat group household registration system, there would probably not be such a result. But once you have it, you can easily solve it.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen thought that in the investigation of cases across the country, this chat group household registration system would definitely have a lot of auxiliary effects and could greatly enhance the detection rate.
