Honglouchun

At the door, Tieniu was already yelling angrily.

He was working on the pier with Liu Laoshi's family back then. What kind of people have you never seen?

Naturally, I have also seen what the child after being cut off by Caisheng looks like.

That's not human anymore...

It didn't feel too deep back then, but now that he has the little stone, Tieniu is mad with anger at such acts of mutilating children.

And this time not one or two, but eighteen ships!

Don't underestimate the huge profits of such activities. In the previous life, the subway begged more than [-] yuan a month, and it was probably normal people asking for food.

If a "monster" who picks and cuts the money is begging for money on the subway, it is possible to double it several times.

Even in other places, at any busy street, the income is not cheap.

Even if a child only needs to board one tael a day, it counts as 50 children per boat, 800 taels per boat, and [-] taels per [-] boats.

If you plant a thousand acres of land, you may not be able to earn 800 taels a year, and this is just one day...

And for a child, begging for a day may not only be one or two...

However, this huge profit is earned at the cost of countless children's lives, their limbs, their blood, eyes, bones, and voices.

How can it be so simple to organize such a large-scale harvesting and cutting?

Of course, it is not possible for a small Qipin county magistrate to stop it.

"Master Wu, do you know who is behind the scenes? Doing this kind of thing, making small troubles, secretly going to the court may not be all that hard to catch, but such a large-scale mess, this Didn't you send the Nine Clans to the guillotine yourself?"

Jia Qiang asked curiously.

Although there are not many ways for the powerful to make money, most of them are search and squeeze, but there should be very few people who dare to use this method.

Wu Zhixian said in a deep voice: "It's the Cao Gang! Behind the Cao Gang are the Governor's Yamen of the River Transport and the yamen of all levels along the canal. The generals of the River Battalion are also well fed by them. And the officials also know that the Cao Gang is now The biggest backer behind is you Ninghou!"

"..."

Jia Qiang stared wide-eyed at Wuzhi County, and after a long pause, she said in amazement: "Me?! Isn't this nonsense? Who doesn't know that I am digging the roots of the Cao Gang? How come I have become a big backer of the Cao Gang?"

Wu Zhixian shook his head and said: "As long as you are an official, you will know that many children of the Jia family joined the Cao Gang and became the chief hall master, banner master, chief banner master, and even the rudder master. If Marquis Ning is not the backer of the Cao Gang, why should the Cao Gang Give the Jia family so much money?"

Jia Qiang reacted for a while, then said angrily with a dark face, "You mean the Jia family in Jinling?"

Wu Zhixian nodded and said: "Exactly! Not only the Jia family in Jinling, but also the historians, Wang family and Xue family, relying on the power of Ninghou in Beijing, and Lin Xiangye's name, they are rampant in the south of the Yangtze River! Lin Xiangye is in Beijing Every time Ninghou steps up, every time Ninghou wins his opponents in Beijing, his prestige increases, and the arrogance of the Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue families grows stronger. The four big families had already started gaining power. When Banshangong was around, they were more restrained. After Banshangong left, the Zhen family collapsed again, and Jiangnan became the world of the four big families. Prestige, dare to be angry and dare not speak out! If the case of Caisheng’s torture and mutilation is too damaging to the peace of heaven, even this official would not dare to say anything. Ninghou..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking!"

Jia Qiang's face was frightening, and she interrupted Wu Zhixian's words with a wave of her hand, making Wu Zhixian's face pale, and his eyes were filled with anger.

Then I heard Jia Qiang scolding: "The group of forgetfuls thought they were divided into sects, so they drew a clear line, but they didn't expect to die to this extent! There is also the Cao Gang... come here, tell the Cao Gang members Hao, three days later, I will be waiting for him to explain in the Ningguo Mansion in Jinling. If there is no explanation after three days, and one of the villainous people escapes, I will take the heads of the father and son of the Ding family!"

He turned his head to look at County Magistrate Wu again and said, "Do you know if there is any criminal evidence in Suzhou City right now? Master Wu, I promise to investigate this matter to the end. No matter whether it is surnamed Jia, Wang, Shi, or Xue, anyone involved Among them, at the least, they will be imprisoned and exiled for three thousand miles! If it is found out that they are the mastermind behind this case, I will punish them all!"

Wu Zhixian heard the words and said excitedly: "Yes, yes! It's on Shili Street outside Changmen!"

……

"Aunt Feng, where did you say your home was?"

After Jia Qiang returned to the inner house, he saw that the girls had already changed into Confucian clothes, each of them was laughing and joking with "brother" and "good brother", and he asked Feng Shi standing in the corner.

Feng quickly apologized and said with a smile: "There is a Shili Street outside Changmen, and there is a Renqing Lane in the street, and there is an ancient temple in the alley, called the Calabash Temple. A few years ago, there was a big fire and it disappeared, but I heard that it was destroyed later. Fixed..."

Jia Qiang nodded, but her expression was slightly hesitant.

Daiyu was joking with Tanchun at the side, but she kept paying attention to this side from the corner of her eye. Seeing Jia Qiang's expression was not right, she came over and asked, "What's the matter?"

Jia Qiang said softly: "There is a big case. The gangsters abducted other people's children and tortured them badly. It's on the other side of Shili Street. I thought everyone would stop by and have a look. It would be a good experience for you. I can't bear the misery, and I have nightmares at night..."

Daiyu was startled when she heard the words, then she nodded firmly and said, "Go and have a look, and remind the little girls. It will become more and more mischievous in the future, and Huazi will take pictures sooner or later."

She also had another thought that she didn't say out loud. She also wanted some people in the family who lamented their miserable fate all day long to see the real suffering in the world.

Two years ago, she would never have thought this way.

At that time, she felt that she was the most miserable person in the world...

And it was precisely because of jumping out of this cage of inner self-suffering that Daiyu felt that she should let her family see more sufferings in the world.

Open up their minds from the loneliness and darkness, and the family will be better in the future.

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Okay, since the head of the family has made a decision, let's all go!"

"Pooh!"

"Go to Xiangling's former residence for a while, and take a boat to Hanshan Temple at night!"

Seeing the girls gathered around, Jia Qiang declared.

When Tanchun, Xiangyun, Baoqin, Keqing and other educated girls heard the news, they jumped up and cheered.

The sky is full of frost and moon, Jiang Feng Yuhuo is sad.

Hanshan Temple outside Gusu city, the bell to the passenger ship at midnight.

The Fengqiao in the eternal romantic poem "Fengqiao Night Mooring" is just outside Changmen...

……

Suzhou City, Changmen.

Ten Mile Street.

"Plum blossom cake, plum blossom cake, sweet but not greasy plum cake!"

"Taishi cake, Taishi cake, Sima Gong's Taishi cake!"

"Hemp cake, hemp cake, Changle club's hemp cake!"

Suzhou Mansion deserves to be the world's first-class mortal resort. The Jia family's carriage team will stop every fifty steps on average.

Jia Qiang can feel the joy and happiness in the carriage even when she is riding outside.

However, he was also a little worried. Will they be able to stay in the garden in the future...

Jiading County Magistrate Wu Wei, who was leading the way, felt a little uneasy about the way the Jia family behaved.
