Warm fragrance cloud around

How much can you do in one night?Quite a few, especially if you're well manned and have the privilege of unimpeded access.

Dali Temple asked Xiuzhu the way and place to contact the people outside the palace, dispatched overnight, and captured the main culprit who kidnapped the little princess in a dark kiln.

The prisoner was immersed in the gentleness of the woman, and just when he couldn't think of leaving, the officers and soldiers broke in suddenly, scaring the prisoner into a daze, and the woman even screamed, looking very pitiful.

The officers and soldiers in the lead didn't have any sympathy for the beauty, so they directly let the prisoner be escorted to Dali Temple, regardless of whether he was dressed or not, because it was late at night anyway, and he was not afraid of being insulting to the gentlemen.

Dali Temple didn't show any reason to this kind of human traffickers, and directly served them with sticks, "Be honest, where is the girl you kidnapped a few days ago?"

The prisoner's surname is Qiu, and he is the third eldest child. People call him Qiu San, because he is so ugly.

Shen Shangshu has always acted cautiously, and he picked out Ugly San after going through many detours. He was the one who led the way to Xiuzhu. Ugly San only used money to do things, and he knew nothing about the identity of the client or the person who was going to be kidnapped. .

Shen Shangshu's ideas are very thoughtful, when the turmoil passes and all the insiders are slowly eliminated, he will still be the innocent Shen Shangshu.Now that the capital is in full swing because of the disappearance of many young children, it is obviously not a good time to silence, so Chou San can still live well.

It's a pity that although Concubine De was his first daughter, she failed to inherit his scheming and disposition, and hurriedly killed people to silence her, and she messed up her position.

Even though he was arrested, Chou San didn't give up, and still kowtowed, "What kind of girl, I don't know! The three generations of my ancestors have been good citizens, and I have never done anything illegal!"

"Three days ago, at midnight, Zhengyang Street, someone gave you a hundred taels of silver and asked you to kidnap a girl, right?"

Chou San still wanted to deny it, but the interrogator didn't give him a chance, "Don't quibble, the person who instigated you has confessed now, and we also found the money from your home. Didn't you notice that there was a mark on the money? That is best evidence."

There is actually no sign or anything, but other than this sentence, it is all true. Dali Temple has secretly visited Chou San’s friends and neighbors. It's okay to cheat him.

Sure enough, upon hearing that there was a mark on the silver, Chou San's face turned blue and white, as if remorseful and somewhat resentful, and after a long while he uttered harshly, "You want to save that girl? You must let me go first!"

The soldier next to him couldn't see it, so he lashed his shoulder with a whip, "I'm still bargaining, and I don't even look at where this is!"

The person in charge of interrogating him was a temple minister, he squinted his eyes, "You mean, the girl is still alive?"

Ugly San does a lot of evil, and his psychological quality is quite strong. He didn't tremble because of being drawn, but as if he had some kind of support, he said gloomyly: "They really want me to catch people and kill them immediately. I'm not stupid. Then The girl's clothes are obviously from a wealthy family, and keeping her at a critical moment may save my life."

"Where is she now?"

Chou San gave him a gloomy look, "It's where you can't find it, so let me go and explain."

Si Cheng stared at Chou San, trying to judge whether he was lying. At this time, Cheng Jiangyun came over after finishing the matter at hand.

Si Cheng explained Chou San's confession to him. Chou San saw the attitude of the two of them, and judged that Cheng Jiangyun was the one who could be the master, and planned to bargain with him.

"As long as you agree to let me out of the city, I will tell you about the girl!"

Cheng Jiangyun heard Si Cheng's words, didn't give Chou San a look, and directly led everyone out of the torture room, leaving Chou San jumping around and shouting alone.

"My lord, do you think he is lying?"

Si Cheng is still a little worried, this is related to the safety of the little princess, as well as their official positions and heads!

Cheng Jiangyun asked back, "What kind of person do you think Chou San is?"

"Take wealth as life, and do whatever it takes."

"That's right, such a person will never let go of any chance to make money," Cheng Jiangyun paused, and then asked him, "Have you seen the little princess?"

Si Cheng lowered his head, "The princess has golden branches and jade leaves, how can the lower officials see it."

"Then what do you think a person like Ugly San will do if he catches an unidentified but not-so-good-looking little girl?"

Si Cheng's face turned pale, "Could it be, could he sell the little princess?"

Cheng Jiangyun looked solemn, "It's possible, let people find out if there are any familiar people among the people Chou San associates with."

The profession of Renyazi was a gray industry in ancient times, because buying and selling slaves is legal, and it can even be said to be just needed for some wealthy families. The existence of various Yapoya people undoubtedly provides them with convenience and is indispensable; Without a reliable backstage, if one fails to do something well and offends someone who shouldn't be offended, he will be labeled with countless hats at will, and catastrophe is imminent.

Si Cheng led the order to go out, but he couldn't help sighing. I don't know who are so short-sighted, who dare to buy and sell the royal princess. I just hope that the little princess is not abused, otherwise there may be bloodshed.

**

Cheng Jiangyun came to Xiuzhu's cell again.After a whole night of interrogation like a battle of wheels, Xiuzhu's whole face was already haggard.

The color is as pale as dead gray.

Seeing Dali Siqing come in, she still moved a few times, and climbed up to Cheng Jiangyun, "Have you caught the prisoner? Where is the little princess, have you been rescued?"

After all, this is related to whether she can continue to live. The cruelty when helping Concubine De has long been worn away, and she has been silently praying in her heart that nothing will happen to the little princess, although this hope may be minimal.

Cheng Jiangyun didn't answer, but looked at her blankly, "You want Chou San to kill him immediately after he wins?"

Xiuzhu shivered in fright from his cold tone, "Yes, that's right, Concubine De is afraid of future troubles."

"Do you know what is the crime of murdering the royal blood?"

Xiuzhu was well aware of the death penalty, and she had been lucky before, but now that Cheng Jiangyun pointed it out, she felt chills all over her body.

"My lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life! By the way, I have evidence! I have evidence of Concubine De's infidelity!"

Cheng Jiangyun said in a cold tone, "Say."

"The concubine De concubine had a private relationship with Wood before she entered the palace. The two of them exchanged many letters, most of which were found out by Shen Shangshu and destroyed. I secretly withheld a few of them without them knowing."

"that's it?"

"Also, there is the sachet embroidered by Empress Concubine De, let me give it to Wood. At that time, Wood had already been disposed of by Shen Shangshu, so I didn't hand it over."

Did you not hand it over, or did you keep it in your hand on purpose?Cheng Jiangyun couldn't help but take another look at Xiuzhu, this person has a lot of tricks, he probably still wants to make a fortune with the evidence in his hand, no wonder Concubine De is in a hurry to get rid of her.

"Where is the evidence?"

Seeing that he was interested, Xiuzhu showed joy, "I..."

"Don't try to bargain, my patience is limited."

"Sewn in the interlayer of a padded jacket, I can take adults to find it!"

Cheng Jiangyun looked at Xiuzhu coldly. She seemed to see the hope of surviving because of the evidence.He would never tell her that having the evidence of the concubine's filthy harem would only make her die faster.

**

Although it is not very kind to break into houses at night, and it is too much to save people, Dali Temple knocked on the doors of many people related to Chou San overnight.

For the good people, they followed Cheng Jiangyun's instructions and gave them a little money before leaving, which was regarded as "spiritual damage fee".

In the end, they got what they wanted.

Chou San seems to have some vague relationship with a matchmaker nicknamed Pocky Chen Po, but both of them don't have a good reputation in the neighborhood, and they are both lonely, unmarried and unmarried, and no one cares about them .

Mazi Chen has a wide network of contacts. I heard that she has friendship with the stewards of many wealthy families and the tortoise bustards of the brothels. The adults in the neighborhood often use her to scare the disobedient children at home, "If you are not honest, I will give you to Mazi. Mrs. Chen, sell it to the official's family as a cow or a horse."

When people from Dali Temple rushed into Mazi Chen's house, she was still lying on the bed and sleeping like a dead pig, the kind that could not be woken up by a thunderbolt, and she only woke up after splashing a few ladles of water.

"Ah, who are you and what are you going to do to me!"

The leader of Dali Temple is a young man in his 20s. He is speechless after hearing this. What can he do to her?Do you want to do nothing!

He directly took out the portrait of the little princess, "Where is this girl now?"

Having been a matchmaker for many years, Granny Chen certainly has some brains. She secretly thought that she was not good, and she was still pretending, "What girls, I don't know what you are talking about!"

"Stop pretending to be deaf and dumb, the ugly three are recruited, if you want to survive, be honest!"

A person like Mrs. Chen is very good at reading the situation, and when she sees that someone is not easy to mess with, she confesses without struggling for a long time.

Two days ago, Chou San grabbed a girl doll from somewhere and brought it to her. When she saw it, she said, darling, this girl has bright eyes and bright teeth, and she will be so beautiful when she grows up. She will definitely sell for a good price.

Ugly reiterated that no one knew that the doll was captured by him, and the family members would definitely not be able to find it, but to be on the safe side, it is best to sell the capital.

Grandma Chen knew quite a few low-class people, she had her own secret channel to take people out of the city, and she really took the limelight out of Beijing and sold them to a flower house in a neighboring county.

"Did the girl's family come here? I was also tricked by Chou San, and I never intended to harm anyone!"

"Hualou bought people for the purpose of receiving customers in the future. It must be too late to go now, so I sold it for 300 taels of silver. Why don't I return it all to you?"

Chen Po's desire to survive is also very strong.

Hehe, 300 taels, if you say this price, you will lose your life immediately, the young man in the lead sneered, and asked Po Chen to be escorted back to Dali Temple sternly.

"Officer, just tell me, let me be mentally prepared, whose family does that girl belong to?"

The young man didn't want to talk to her at first, somehow he felt a little mischievous, and pointed to the palace.

Chen Po let out a scream and fell powerlessly to the ground.
