The Ming Dynasty in Another World: People are in the Heavenly Prison, and Wuji becomes a Taoist

"Right over there!"

Zhong Ling walked to the street with a few people.

Halfway down the road, I heard the sound of gongs coming from the front, which sounded very lively.

When I got closer, I saw that there was indeed a one-meter-tall bear performing a handstand.

And there were two beggars beside him in the warm-up area.

"Brothers, sisters, fellow countrymen, come and take a look. We two brothers came from Huqiu, Suzhou to find relatives. Unfortunately, our relatives and friends died of illness, and all the money we had was exhausted, so we had no choice but to perform here. Everyone. If you do well, those who are rich will support you with money, and those who have no money will support you with personal support."

After speaking, one of the beggars took out a pen and paper.

Let Xiong hold the pen and write a few big characters.

Although the handwriting is a bit sloppy, you can see four words: good fortune and longevity.

After finishing writing, the bear straightened up and bowed to a fat man in a suit.

The fat man was very happy. He happily took out two pieces of ocean and threw them over.

The two beggars immediately picked up the reward money from the ground with smiles on their faces.

Because this bear is very strange, it cannot speak but can write and compose poems, which attracted many people to watch.

Many people found it novel and rewarded the beggar.

Lin Mo watched the performing bear quietly, but couldn't help but feel a strong anger rising in his heart.

This anger was not directed at the bear, but at the beggar!

He could tell at a glance that the bear in the show was a human pretending to be a bear.

And to the extent that the fake is the real thing, it is undoubtedly the method of harvesting and cutting!

The history of harvesting and cutting has a long history, which can be traced back to the Song and Yuan Dynasties.

At that time, some people would collect raw materials to sacrifice to ghosts, which was extremely cruel.

This behavior comes from the ancient art of witchcraft, which is the so-called: "Sacrificing humans to ghosts to seek fame and fortune from ghosts."

In essence, it is to kill a person with cruel means, and then use the person's soul to sacrifice to ghosts and gods to achieve one's own goals.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, harvesting and cutting was gradually learned by some ruthless beggar gangs, and the horror of the incident also doubled.

The traffickers will artificially mutilate the abducted children, and then let these children beg. Some even cut off the children's organs and sell them.

Since the emergence of "picking and cutting", the government has punished it with an "iron hand", and the criminals have been punished with "treating them in their own way."

Starting from the Han Dynasty, the most cruel punishments were used for criminals who abducted and trafficked young children.

In order to serve as a warning to others, the Han government killed prisoners and then divided their bodies.

Although the Tang Dynasty reduced the sentence, it was still sentenced to death by hanging.

During the Yuan Dynasty, people were killed without mercy.

In both the Ming and Qing dynasties, prisoners were executed at Lingchi.

The "Laws of the Ming Dynasty" stipulates: "Anyone who harvests, cuts or mutilates a person will be executed without mercy, and his property will be cut off and paid to the deceased's family. Even though his wife, son and family members do not know about it, they will be relocated two thousand miles away and beheaded for his followers."

Lin Mo was extremely angry about this. These people did not hesitate to torture others in order to seek benefits. They were simply crazy.

Wu Yue keenly noticed the change in Lin Mo's expression and asked in a low voice: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"nothing."

Lin Mo instantly regained his composure and decided not to expose the two men's tricks for the time being.

Because he wasn't sure if more children were being harmed, he couldn't risk alerting others.

So, he decided to wait and see.

He even pretended to be a passerby watching the fun, clapping his hands from time to time and throwing a big ocean as a reward.

His performance surprised Zhong Ling, and he couldn't help but have self-doubt in his heart.

Could it be that I really felt that something was wrong?

Lin Mo saw Zhong Ling's confusion, but he didn't explain anything.

When the two beggars closed the stall and left on the grounds that it was getting late, Lin Mocai said to a few people: "Axiu, you take Xiaoling back first, Xiaoyue and I will follow and have a look."

Zhong Xiu was puzzled: "Huh? Brother Mo, you're not..."

Lin Mo interrupted him: "I just did it on purpose to avoid alerting the enemy."

Then, he turned to Zhong Ling and touched her little head, "Your feeling is correct. That bear is a pretender."

Zhong Ling asked in surprise: "Really?"

Lin Mo nodded affirmatively: "Of course it's true. When did I lie to you?"

"Then I want to go and have a look." Zhong Ling said not to be outdone.

Zhong Xiu stood up and tried to dissuade her: "Sister, please stop making trouble. With so many of us going there together, we will definitely attract others' attention."

Lin Mo also said: "With the large number of us, it is easy to attract attention. You go back first. I will come back and tell you after I find out the truth."

Hearing Lin Mo's promise, although Zhong Ling was a little reluctant, he still agreed.

"When I find out the truth of the matter, I will come back and tell you." Lin Mo promised.

After the Zhong brothers and sisters left, Wu Yue asked doubtfully: "Senior brother, is what you just said true?"

Lin Mo nodded affirmatively: "Of course! That beggar is doing 'picking and cutting'."

Wu Yue's expression changed: "Collecting raw materials, cutting them?"

Lin Mo explained: “Yes, this is an extremely cruel behavior. Beggars abduct or kidnap children, chop off their hands and feet, cause them to be disabled, and then use their misfortune to beg to make money.

This is not the scariest thing. In order to attract attention, some people will also install some animal features on their children. "

"Such a thing can happen!"

Wu Yue was frightened when she heard that. She reacted instantly, "So, do you think that the bear just now was made like that by those two beggars through harvesting and cutting?"

"Yes!" Lin Mo nodded, with a sharp flash in his eyes.

Wu Yue asked if he should call the police?

Lin Mo shook his head and said no.

"The police focus on evidence when handling cases, not on our empty words."

"It would be more appropriate for us to go there first and sneak around to see if we can find anything. After we are really sure, we can go to the police."

Wu Yue was a little worried, saying that there might be more than two people in the house?

Lin Mo patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, you still have me!"

"You wait outside later, I can go in alone. If something happens, I will call the police. You can go directly to the police station to call the police."

Of course, these words were used to appease Wu Yue.

Lin Mo is still extremely confident in his own strength.

Wu Yue heard this and felt it made sense, so she said no more.

Seeing that the two beggars had walked away, Lin Mo said softly: "Let's follow them and have a look."

"Okay!" Wu Yue nodded.

The two carefully followed the beggar to their residence.

It's still a little far away from where we just performed.

It's in a remote alley on East Street.

There is a small yard here.

The outer wall is inlaid with iron sharp stones, which look like they were specially put there.

Because the people next to me don’t have these things at all.

The location here is a little far away from the main street and is very remote.

It was dark in the alley, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
