I solved crimes in the Song Dynasty and strengthened the country [Seventh Five-Year]

81 Willing to teach the sad years

Anyone who hears these two pieces of news at the same time will inevitably feel a thump in their hearts.

Xie Ling's age was about the same, and he happened to be related to Qinglong Mountain, so Jiang Lindang rushed to the scene of the crime with Tan Cuo and the servant.

But after only one glance at the corpse, Jiang Lin immediately felt relieved.

I saw that young man was dressed in rags and looked haggard. Although his face was extremely distorted, it was almost difficult to identify him, but the old calluses and wounds on his body proved that this person had not lived a decent life before him, and he was by no means a pampered young man like Xie Ling. son.

Jiang Lin felt that the wound on his body looked familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

At the level of Shaoqing, the usual murders in the village should not have passed through Jiang Lin's hands.He was still thinking about the missing Xie Ling. Although he felt that the deceased in this village had died strangely, he first taught Wei Qin, a new official transferred from the Ministry of Punishment, to inquire about the specific situation of the deceased, and then talked to the young man about it. Xie Ling.

Jiang Lin asked: "When did your young master say he was going to Qinglong Temple? Has there been anything unusual before?"

The servants all answered according to the facts, Jiang Lin calculated the date, it was the time when Yu Shi and his father returned home and taught himself to find the secret treasure of Qinglong.

The news about Ye Fengqiu came sooner than he expected.

No wonder the other party was able to choose a target to pretend to be with enough time after hearing the news, sneak into the mountains, and didn't show his flaws until the end.

But if this is the case, doesn't it mean that Xie Ling who was faked by him is in danger?

Seeing that Jiang Lin remained silent for a while, and his expression became more solemn, the boy couldn't help but anxiously said: "Jiang Shaoqing, don't you know where my young master has gone? The young master is the only seedling in our family. If he really disappeared, what should we do?" Explain to Master and Madam..."

Jiang Lin suddenly remembered a detail, and asked the boy, "Does your son have any other brothers and sisters?"

The young man said: "The eldest girl was selected into the palace just a few years ago, and the only male is the young master...Jiang Shaoqing didn't know that the wife gave birth to a fetus that died, and the young master had a hard time, and he was always regarded as an eyeball." It seems to be protected, but there must be no mistakes..."

Before Jiang Lin could speak, Wei Qin, who was going to investigate the case, rushed back with the news.

Wei Qin was young, and it seemed that this was the first time he was investigating a murder scene, and there was an undisguised physiological reaction on his body.

He said in great embarrassment: "Jiang Shaoqing, the monk who found the dead man can't speak clearly, and the village head of Qingniu Village is also unwilling to cooperate. Could you please go and have a look with the officials?"

·

When Jiang Lin heard that there was a monk, he felt a premonition that he would meet an acquaintance. Who knew that the other party was not Ming Qi whom he had just met on the mountain?

Ming Qi was timid at first, and when he discovered the corpse by himself, his face turned pale with fright.

Jiang Lin knew that he might not be able to speak clearly, so he patiently comforted him for a long time, but the other party still kept the words upside down for a long time, and Jiang Lin could only briefly sum it up——Ming Qi was coming down the mountain to beg for alms, I accidentally saw a body leaking from a house that had been washed away by water.

The subsequent events were pieced together by another passing boatman. When Ming Qi saw the corpse, he yelled loudly and summoned a group of passers-by to watch, and they reported the corpse to the village chief.

Wu Zuo had already experienced the corpse, and the child actually starved to death in the room.

Jiang Lin noticed a detail, looked at the village chief and said, "Jiang came to Qingniu Village to look at it yesterday. The village chief said that the houses in the village were safe and sound just after the water flow. Why did collapsed houses 'appear' today?"

The head of the village, Niu Sheng, was sweating on his forehead, and said: "It was not obvious when it was first washed, but later the house was flooded and slowly collapsed. Everything I said is true, and I dare not lie to Mr. Shaoqing... "

Jiang Lin was unhappy.

He had been worried about the impact on the village at the foot of the mountain when he changed the water flow, so he came here to check it out. It can be seen that Niu Sheng's attitude is obviously concealing and not reporting.

He frowned and continued to ask: "Then what is the identity of the dead boy? Can he starve to death at home, is it because no one takes care of him?"

Niu Sheng said: "It's just a little fool with no name and no surname in the village. His parents are dead and no one is looking after him. He usually just picks up grass leaves from the field and eats them randomly. He has been doing this for many years. I didn't expect him to die like this..."

"Can't you even tell his name?" Jiang Lin said sharply, "It's better to transfer all the household registration files in your village and let Jiang check it himself."

With a perplexed expression on his face, Niu Sheng anxiously took Jiang Lin to fetch the household registration files.

Seeing his suspicious expression, Jiang Lin taught Wei Qin to go around other places in the village to see if he could find anything strange.

After entering the village, Jiang Lin carefully observed the surrounding environment, noticing the occasional children in the hut and the big men wandering on the road, he suddenly felt a sense of disobedience in his heart.

Jiang Lin looked over the household registration records Niu Sheng gave him, and asked, "How many acres of land are there in this village?"

Niu Sheng scratched his head and said, "Seven or eight hundred mu?"

"But when I looked all the way just now, I only saw a dozen young and strong men." Jiang Lin said, "With such a small number of people, can they plow the land here?"

"Jiang Shaoqing, I told you yesterday that the village was dry a few days ago, so many people ran out..."

"Women also ran away?" Seeing that Niu Sheng was choked up by his question, Jiang Lin said again, "You don't have many women of the right age in your household registration, but you have many children."

Jiang Lin's eyes sank, and he asked Niu Sheng, "May I ask, where do these children come from?"

Hearing Jiang Lin's question, Niu Sheng's face immediately changed. Before he could say anything, Wei Qin rushed back. He clasped his fists and said to Jiang Lin, "Your official found a huge crack on the mountain behind the village. There is no spark in the crevice, but it is hot and dry, like a stove. Shaoqing, do you want to go and check?"

Jiang Lin was startled. Could it be that the secret of Qinglong Mountain was about to be revealed so quietly?

·

"Abduction?!"

Hearing that there was another treasure, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao met Jiang Lin again in Qingniu Village, and Jiang Zhigao also insisted on coming to help.In order to confirm that the gap was related to the secret treasure, Jiang Lin specially transferred Yun Shu out of Dali Temple.

Although the latter still put on a world-weary face, they still cooperated with their actions.

The moment he heard the news, Bai Yutang was first surprised that Jiang Lin could see the clues of the village in a few words, and then he was surprised that there were nearly a hundred abducted children hidden in this small village. .

Jiang Lin nodded and said: "Not only that, we also found that this case can be related to the 'Cannibal Alley'. These human traffickers are all over the country, and it is not a big deal to set up such a stronghold in an unnoticed village outside Kaifeng Prefecture. something strange."

Zhan Zhao was also very aggrieved for those children: "Responsible officials are too careless to allow such a thing to happen in central Beijing..."

Bai Yutang also frowned and asked, "But what are those people doing after capturing so many children?"

Holding a torch, Jiang Lin led the three of them into the crevice of the rock: "It's still under interrogation. But looking at the scars on those children, it shouldn't be something good..."

Suddenly, his voice paused, and he turned to look at Yun Shu: "Your body..."

Bai Yutang also reacted, and asked without hesitation: "Miss Yunshu was also abducted by human traffickers?"

As soon as the words came out, Jiang Zhigao gave him a hard look, which made him feel that something was wrong, and quickly expressed his embarrassment.

Yun Shu's reaction was still indifferent.

But Jiang Lin felt a sudden chill up his spine.

If it was only a coincidence that Bai Yutang met Yun Shu in Pei's mansion, Jiang Lin might not have thought about it too much, but if he added a case of abduction and trafficking related to "Cannibal Alley", Jiang Lin would have to start over again. Consider how involved Yun Shu was in the first case.

Noticing that Jiang Lin was holding the torch and there was no movement for a while, and several people turned their heads to look at him, Yun Shu still had no expression on his face: "Jiang Shaoqing, the treasures guarded by our clan should be here. However, it is not so easy to take them away." easy."

Jiang Lin suddenly sensed something was wrong, subconsciously turned his body to one side, and only then dodged a hidden weapon flying behind him, caught a slight surprise in Yun Shu's eyes, and Jiang Lin was dragged to the other side by Jiang Zhigao's hand .

"How could even this kind of hidden weapon almost sneak attack you?"

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao also realized that something was wrong, and looked up in the direction from which the hidden weapon was flying.

I saw the person standing on the top of the mountain, who else could there be besides Ye Fengqiu?What shocked everyone even more was that Xie Ling, who had been missing for many days, was still held hostage in his hands.

Seeing that Xie Ling was still alive, they couldn't care less about being happy.

Ye Fengqiu laughed loudly and said: "Now you are all lambs waiting to be slaughtered, you should hand over the secret treasure obediently, and capture it without a fight!"

As he spoke, dozens of men in black approached step by step from the shadows.

Bai Yutang subconsciously looked at Yun Shu and said, "What's going on? There are so many traps in the cave, how could Ye Fengqiu escape from it alive?!"

Jiang Lin pressed his tongue against his chin, leaned against the stone wall and said, "I'm afraid she doesn't feel that she has the obligation to help us catch Ye Fengqiu..."

"What?!" Bai Yutang felt dizzy before turning the blade to Yunshu, "You..."

Yun Shu turned his eyes to Jiang Lin and Jiang Zhigao indifferently: "If you want to blame, you can only blame them for involving you in this dispute."

Jiang Lin was about to be laughed at by Yun Shu.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Xie Ling didn't know why they didn't escape, and was still crying: "Jiang Shaoqing, it's all my fault! It's an incompetent official, go away! Go away! Leave me alone!"

With his back against the stone wall, Jiang Lin raised his eyes to look at Xie Ling and said, "Why are you crying?! I'll tell you later that you let Ye Fengqiu out of prison!"

He turned to Yunshu, and said in a deep voice, "That's how you repay 'me' for saving your life?!"
