[Red Mansion] The happiness of a winner in life

"Take the person first, and there are a few over there."

Jia Amnesty explained to Butou in a low voice, and Butou made a few gestures to get others to surround the area where those flamboyants pretending to be ordinary people were.Picked two good hands to tie up the subdued Paihuazi, and the people around him surrounded him with punches, kicks, and spit on him.

"Damn it, you're a flower! I won't give you some color today, let's see if you dare to come to our place in the future!"

"See if I can't beat you to death, tell you to abduct your child, see if I don't destroy you!"

"Officer, this thing is not good, kill him immediately!"

"That's right, sir, we have to deal with them well, don't let those bastards think we're easy to mess with!"

......

Seeing that the scene was chaotic, Catcher Chen hurriedly came out to speak, and clasped his fists together, he said, "Don't worry, elders, this paihuazi will be brought up to ask the magistrate to settle the case. You can't be beaten to death now, the county magistrate still needs to ask questions." , if it was abducted from us before, you have to look for it."

The people below looked at each other in blank dismay, and shouted, "Thank you, the officer, for making the decision for us! Let's get tied up now!"

Chen Butou and Jia Amnesty looked at each other, followed Jia Amnesty's line of sight to look around, and keenly spotted a few flamboyants hidden in the crowd.Although they hid it well, but he has been a headhunter for more than ten years, and he has rich experience and he knows the people here well, so he can naturally see the difference.

Seeing that the yamen servants had already guarded the exit, he said loudly: "There are still accomplices here, everyone stand still and don't move to avoid accidental injury!" Ordinary people dare not lift their heads.According to experience, the common people are generally extremely afraid of officials, and they must be as frightened as a bird now, so they can blend in naturally by doing so.

But they didn't notice that the people around them were scanning the crowd brightly, so the few people who kept their heads down and said nothing were extremely conspicuous.This is the first time they have been caught, and in the past they have used such tricks without any disadvantage.Although they know that the people hate Pai Huazi deeply, but they think that the government is the most feared by the people.

The people around saw that something was wrong with the old woman in shabby clothes, the strong man, and the haggard woman, and kept away from them calmly.Although he hated and wanted to peel off Huazi's cramps, he knew rationally that his presence would only hinder the official's work, and he would beat him up to vent his anger when he was caught.

Chen Butou watched the people calmly give way, and calmly called the yamen servants to come forward to catch them.A group of people rushed up, and the three of them didn't know where they were exposed. Except for the man, there was still room for resistance, and the woman and the old man were caught immediately.The women and the elderly did not dare to resist when they were suddenly arrested, they just kept shouting for injustice.

"Officer! I'm a girl from a good family, I'm not a human trafficker!"

"My lord, how can I be a human trafficker when I'm already old! I'm wronged, my lord!"

The two kept crying and calling for grievances, and the people around them were also a little shaken.

"Hey, don't people from the village know about our place? This woman doesn't look like an old one."

"I don't know. Since the official caught him, there might be something wrong with him. I don't know if he came from another place or what happened."

"Hey, you are all stupid! The man pretended to be the father of the child, and the woman pretended to be the mother of the child, and even brought a grandma. Can you know if they are flirting? I can see that they are together, maybe It's not that little brother, that woman is coming to call the man home!"

The common people were discussing quietly, not afraid of Chen's arrest, a few came up and asked if they could go with them to the government office to see the county magistrate's decision.Chen Butou waved his hand to signal to the yamen servants to put him in custody, "My lord has ordered that this time, all the folks who want to come to see the patting of Huazi. The crime of patting Huazi is a heinous crime, so we must make everyone feel at ease."

The people cheered for a while, and they all went home to greet their friends and friends, and then brought their own rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs to greet those pampers.Shui Ze stood beside Jia She, the child was still being held by Jia She, and when Chen Butou saw this, he let a small yamen servant behind him hold him.Seeing Jia Amnesty looking at him strangely, he touched his waist knife and began to explain.

"My father was a yamen servant before he was alive, but later he caught a group of tomb robbers and disappeared. My mother raised me until I was three years old, put me in the Salesian Bureau, and remarried. I grew up eating a lot of food, Afterwards the grandfather found out about my father, and granted me permission to work in the yamen as a yamen servant, and the villagers also trusted me and got close to me."

Shui Ze was a little happy when he heard Chen Butou's words, "I think your father was also an excellent person before he was alive, so the folks treat you sincerely, and when you grow up, you also help the strong and the weak, which shows that you are a kind person. "

Chen Tutou, who was in his thirties, couldn't help laughing when he heard the tender-faced Mizusawa look like a seasoned critic.It was only after laughing out loud that he remembered that Mr. Jia was a person whom the grandfather treated with care, so the status of this Mr. Jia who was traveling with him was probably very important.Some worried that he would cause trouble for the grandfather, but seeing his expression did not hesitate, he just felt relieved.

Although he didn't show it, Mizusawa was a little excited along the way.For the first time he felt his own worth, being able to save one family, and potentially countless more.The yamen was still a little far away, and when they arrived, the magistrate was already dressed and sitting in front of the hall.

As an important witness, Jia Shen Shui Ze followed to the front of the hall and sat in the seat specially set by the grandfather.A couple kneeling in the hall were looking at the direction they came in.I was a little disappointed to see the two men, and couldn't help crying when I saw the yamen servant holding his child behind him.

The man knelt on the ground excitedly, "I beg the adults to make decisions for the villain! God damn Pai Huazi abducted my child, he deserves to be cut to pieces!"

The woman looked at her child lying on the shoulder of the yamen servant, strode over and hugged the child in her arms and shouted "heart and soul", woke up the child and watched the child cry and call mother before she felt relieved, mourning Out of intonation.

The people in the hall looked at the couple and hesitated whether to bring Paihuazi directly.Judging by the couple's appearance, they are afraid that they will directly beat the traffickers to death.

"Cough cough." The county magistrate above attracted attention with a fake cough, "Zhao Shi, Zhao Lin Shi, the child has been found. Zhao Shi stays for the trial, and Zhao Lin Shi takes the child down to find your in-laws. "

The wife and the child knelt down and kowtowed to the county magistrate before leaving.Waiting for Zhao Lin's family to go far away, the magistrate of the county asked the servants to come up to the hall and line up on both sides, and Chen Butou personally came up with the head of Pat Huazi.

After slapping the gavel, the county magistrate asked the crime in a calm voice: "Where is the sinner, what age is he, please report his name."

There was silence in the hall, and none of the four patriarchs dared to speak.The woman and the old man dared to yell that they were not flirting when they were first arrested, but now they are a little scared.Most of them are doing photo shoots in surrounding counties and towns, and they rarely come here. They never expected to be discovered as soon as they came.They are very well-managed in Qingquan Village, and the village chief and the people there have long been threatened or bribed by them, and they dare not go to the government to report the incident.

Most of their household registrations are also fake. They spent a lot of money to get the village chiefs to get them, and they were taken in in the name of refugees.This has not been investigated. As early as when he was arrested, he caught a glimpse of several villagers in Qingquan Village muttering together, fearing that they have already arrived there and arrested everyone.

"Now that you've been arrested, you'd better recruit the real ones, otherwise...someone will drag these three people to the execution room first. This boss, stay here and give me the punishment!"

The head of Pai Huazi was left in the hall, and he was a little scared to see the bamboo sticks and fingerboards brought by the yamen servants.He didn't dare to admit that he was a flirt, but even if he didn't admit that the magistrate would not let him go.

The master on the side pondered for a while, and opened his mouth and said: "The "National Law" says: All Lue people and those who sell people as slaves will be strangled; If there are more than three children sold, both the master and the accomplices will be executed immediately." Seeing the magistrate cupping his hands, "If this pauper is willing to tell where the children were sold before, I might as well give it a good time."

The county magistrate was a little unhappy to hear it, but after thinking about it carefully, he still thought it made sense.After all, this method of patting Hanako has also been described by Chen Butou, and I am afraid that he has abducted many children.In recent years, there have been no missing cases under his rule, but he heard from his colleagues in Lin County that there were quite a few of them there, but the child was taken away because he thought it was unlucky, and the investigation for several years was fruitless.

So he shouted loudly: "According to the law, you should be put to death early, but if you do it honestly, you will not suffer from physical pain. As long as you get the child back, I will give you a good time!" Looking at the dead pig in the hall, it is not afraid of boiling water. Pat Hanako, the county magistrate was a little angry.With gloomy eyes, he secretly thought he shouldn't give this screwdriver such an inhuman face.

The people watching outside the government office also realized what was about to happen, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.Throwing down a stick, two tall and mighty yamen servants stepped forward, one pressed him tightly, and the other picked up the bamboo stick and pierced the man's hand.The bamboo sticks are sharply cut, and blood will flow profusely when pierced into them.

Just like that, the man almost couldn't take it anymore, and was woken up in pain by being poured with salt water by the yamen...

The entire torture process was extremely cruel, but the common people were extremely excited. If it wasn't bad for polluting the government office, they would have thrown rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves in.Mizusawa sat comfortably on the chair, his face turned pale after the torture became more intense, and he looked at Jia Amnesty in bewilderment.After discovering that Jia Amnesty and Chen Butou whispered a few words, Chen Butou asked his grandfather for instructions and then went to the torture room to interrogate other prisoners.

Seeing Jia She's calm look, Mizusawa was a little lost.I really couldn't bear such a scene, I got up and wanted to leave.Jia She chased him out and found him hiding under a tree retching. "If you can't stand it, go to the yard of the county government to rest for a while, sorry, I didn't think about you."

Mizusawa managed to calm his breathing, "Will all prisoners be tortured like this?"

"No. Local officials also pay attention to their own reputation, so why would they beat prisoners at will? This is because the crime of patting a flower is a heinous crime, and it is useless to deal with such a person. The common people also agree to torture and torture a flower."

"Then what if Pai Hanako, who was not caught, killed all the children in order to avoid the harsh wind? Such a severe punishment..."

"This is not playing tricks. No matter how harsh the treatment of Pai Hanako can be, but too light a sentence will make Pai Hana more arrogant, and too heavy a sentence may cause harm to the children. There is no way to have both."

"I'm sorry, am I too weak. I don't want to..."

Seeing Shui Ze crying while holding onto the tree trunk, Jia Amnesty stepped forward with some distress, and took a handkerchief to wipe away the tears from his face. "Then let's go in later, after the torture is over."

About two quarters of an hour later, Catcher Chen came to look for him, saying that the prisoner had recruited him.

The front hall was a bit bloody, so the two still stood under the tree and listened to Chen Butou finish the process.It turned out that shortly after the two went out, the man couldn't stand the punishment and explained the matter.According to him, they were originally refugees from Shanxi Province. Later, a group of refugees gathered into a gang to do a flower auction business, and specially abducted children and sent them to Louzi Xiaoguan shop.

The four of them are only responsible for abducting the children. There are about a dozen young and strong people in the village who are responsible for taking the children to other places, and there are middlemen who specialize in contacting buyers.Over the years, people in the village have made speculations, but they are all up and down, so naturally they dare not make a top-notch denunciation.

As for the town and the local county, although they were wary of a few outsiders, they were guaranteed by the people of Qingquan Village. In addition, these four people were seen all the time and had no time to sell their children, so naturally they let it go.Who would have thought that these few people would do such a heartless thing right under their noses!

Under Jia Amnesty's means, those in the torture room also told what they knew.Several people made a statement in pairs, and found out one by one.Therefore, the four of them were convicted of Ling Chi in court.The villagers of Qingquan Village were beaten with [-] boards if they were coerced, and the village chief was sentenced to hang as an accomplice.

As for those flamboyants who stayed in the village, one by one were all sentenced to death.Such severe punishments are very rare, because the people who led the way to Qingquan Village found the bones of many children in the cellar, both boys and girls.After a rough search, there were more than a dozen corpses, not counting the children who were sold.

The people in the local town and county almost skinned the people of Qingquan Village, and they were greeted with a lot of rotten eggs when they were escorted all the way.And the entire Qingquan Village was demolished by the family who lost their children after the official sent out.The houses were smashed, the poultry were taken away, the furniture was broken and thrown out...

The magistrate of the county is also somewhat connected with the capital, so he naturally guessed that the tender young man here is the princess, and he was trembling all over.When something like this happened, Jia Amnesty and Shui Ze naturally wouldn't stay here for too long.The next morning, he left here by boat, and Huafang paid the full amount of money early and returned it back.

After the two left, there were vague rumors that the one who saw through the slapstick was the current Princess Roujia, and the one who assisted the yamen in handling the case was the son-in-law of Rong Guogong...
