The whole city knows we are locked

Here, Shen Yu was still staring at Cao Lu and Xiao He in the orphanage.

Suddenly Jiang Sheng turned over and jumped in from the window.He did things simply, took out an account book from his pocket, threw it on the bed and said, "It was dug out from Manager Wang's room. Read it quickly, and return it when you're done."

Xiaohe quickly picked up the account book and looked through it carefully.Fatty Cao leaned over to watch it together.

Although Wang Xiaoguan came out of the palace, not all the maids are literate.Manager Wang should be able to read a little bit, but she can't write well, so her account books are made with her own personal characteristics.

Xiao He guessed and said: "This symbol means to enter the account, right? So here it means that 20 taels have been entered into the account. And this symbol means to withdraw from the account?" There are many symbols on the account book, and each symbol has a reference.

Jiang Sheng had obviously studied this booklet in advance, and stood with his arms folded against the wall: "I can be sure that this is definitely not the personal account book of Steward Wang, she has a monthly salary, but there is no record in the account book. "According to the rules and regulations of the Orphanage, the only legal income for Manager Wang is her monthly salary.However, there is no fixed salary record in this account book, and there will only be such a large income every few months.

20 taels is definitely not a small amount.

Fatty Cao asked without hesitation: "So this is really her black account for buying and selling children?"

Shen Yu listened a few times, and couldn't help but ask, "Little Steward Wang? The little Steward Wang who takes care of the girls in the Orphanage?"

Fatty Cao gave Shen Yu a strange look: "Are you sleepy? Aren't we checking her these days?"

Several people were talking, and Xiaohe made another discovery.Because there are few entries in the account book, it may only be entered once every few months, and even every two years. Therefore, such a booklet records all the "extra income" of Wang Xiaoguan for more than 20 years.Many things in the Orphanage will be recorded in the yamen. On what year, month, and day, a new child is adopted in the Orphanage. The physical characteristics of this child can be found in the yamen.Similarly, if the child dies of illness, the yamen will also record a sum.After Mou Yang became a police officer, he found out the date of his sister's death in the yamen, and just two days before the official date of his sister's death, there was an entry in Wang Xiaoguan's account book, which was 13 taels of silver.

It's hard not to think that Manager Wang sold Mou Yang's sister for 13 taels of silver.

"The people we sent out don't know if they have seen Miss Mou, as long as she is brought into the capital, she is a living proof, and we can sue Manager Wang for human trafficking," said Fatty Cao.

"Wait, wait!" Shen Yu hurriedly stopped.

In fact, these days Shen Yu is also paying attention to the orphanage in his own way.The idea of ​​lurking into the Orphanage was given to Yan Chuyin by him. According to his personality, it is difficult to let these things go.It was because he was too busy that he was too sleepy at noon, so he went to Wu Ming's place to take a nap, and then interspersed with Yan Chuyin for the third time.

If they don't stop Fatty Cao and the others, they will report the case to the yamen with the account books.Shen Yu said: "I suddenly remembered... I met Wang Xiaoguanshi before (actually, I didn't, but now I can only say that), and she sometimes goes outside for alms. This account book may be her account book for alms. It’s a donation from well-wishers.”

Xiaohe didn't doubt Shen Yu's words, but felt strange: "If there is any need for money in the Girls' Home, you can directly apply to Manager Yun. Why do you want Manager Wang to go out for alms in person?"

Shen Yu really knows some things: "The Orphanage stipulates that boys at the age of ten and girls at the age of twelve must go to the workshop as apprentices, where food and housing are included, and a little salary will be given according to their work. Basically, they will work honestly for a few years. They can save a little money. When boys are sixteen and girls are eighteen, if they are in good health and their hands and feet are sound, the Orphanage believes that they can take care of themselves, and will encourage them to leave as soon as possible and give up the location of the workshop to those who need it more. people."

A 16-year-old boy was already a grown-up in the eyes of the people at the time.

They are all adults, so naturally it is not good to stay in the Orphanage.

When they leave, they can take their personal belongings including clothes, and with the money saved in the workshop, they can basically live after leaving the orphanage.Especially girls, who were already eighteen when they left, and they are completely ready to get married in this era.It's unrealistic for them to want to marry high-ranking people; but if they just want to find a dutiful family, it's not difficult, and the money they earn in the workshop can be used as a dowry.

There are those who live better after leaving the orphanage. The husband and wife both grew up in the orphanage. After leaving, they used the money they saved to buy a burden. Head flowers, purses and the like are for sale.After two years of this, they had more money in their hands, so they tried to find a way to rent a stall.

Several years later, the couple set up a small shop in the outer city. Country people like to buy needles and thread from them when they go to the city, and some hunters like to put their prey in their shop for consignment...the couple still They gave birth to one son and two daughters. If they said how rich their life was, it would definitely not be true, but at least it was safe and smooth.

But there are also those who have a bad life after leaving the orphanage.After a woman gets married, she finds out that she is married to someone who is not human; after working hard for a few years, her life has improved, but she suddenly becomes ill and becomes in debt; she does not want to marry for a while, but she is targeted by others because of her beauty, and her livelihood is cut off Yes...someone is having a hard time.

They have grown up, and after leaving the orphanage, the orphanage has no responsibility for them.However, they have no father, no mother, no relatives, and no relatives to help them when they encounter problems. Could it be possible that they return to the Orphanage?

Wang Xiaoguan is begging for these people.She helped these people half a tael, and helped that one tael, and that was enough for these people to tide over the difficulties.I did not apply for money from Manager Yun, because this is really not the responsibility of the Orphanage.

There is one thing that Shen Yu heard from Wu Ming.

Uncle Wu's family is the largest cloth merchant in Shannan.They sell cloth as well as ready-made clothes.Since they sell ready-made clothes, they have their own embroidery workshop.There was a woman who came out of the orphanage who was very talented in embroidery, but she married someone who was not human. In fact, her husband's family used her as a mule to imitate her handicraft after marriage.She couldn't bear to reconcile, so she was locked up by her husband's house. Later, Manager Wang rescued her and found a way for her to find a job in Wu's Embroidery Workshop.

Now this woman is already the pillar of Wu's embroidery workshop.

The reason why he was able to help the girl find a job in the embroidery workshop was because Manager Wang had also befriended the Wu family.Uncle Wu's family also sighed with emotion. At the beginning, he asked his subordinates to distribute three or five taels of silver as a good deed. He never expected that there would be such a blessing later!The woman who became the pillar of the embroidery workshop, no matter how many people came to dig it, they couldn't dig it away!

Shen Yu said: "Wang Xiaoguan is definitely not a particularly good person. She is indeed prejudiced against disabled children. She was the one who rejected Xu Chunsheng before. She did it very wrong. We You can say that she has not done her duty and give her some punishment. But she should not be responsible for buying and selling children."

Either everyone is mistaken, and there is no such thing as buying and selling children in the orphanage.

Or someone is indeed secretly buying and selling children, but that person is obviously not Wang Xiaoguan.
