Chapter content begins --> "A person who even robs a little beggar should be taught a lesson. Why don't you let me chase him?"
Luo Fengtang was puzzled.
Yang Ruoqing whispered into his ear.
Luo Fengtang understood, nodded, handed the bundle in his hand to Yang Ruoqing, and then chased after him again.
Looking at his figure running away, Yang Ruoqing curled her lips slightly.
She had let the man run away on purpose just now.
The purpose is to follow the clues and see where he is going.
From Wanghai County to Huguang County, we saw an exponential increase in the number of beggars.
She felt that there was something hidden in it.
Turning around, her eyes fell on the little boy on the ground behind her.
He had struggled to sit up, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and there was a cut on his arm where the loin was exposed, and it was bleeding.
"Don't move, I'll help you stop the bleeding."
She whispered, squatting down next to him.
The little boy resisted for a while and then gave up.
He looked at her timidly, not daring to move, and allowed her to treat his wounds.
"The person who hit you, was your father?" Yang Ruoqing asked while dealing with it.
The little boy frowned and shook his head: "No, my father died of illness a long time ago."
"Then who is he to you?" she asked again.
The little boy lowered his head and whispered: "He is in charge of us."
"What do you mean by someone who cares about you?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.
The little boy said: "He brought us here when we came to beg on the street. All the money we get from begging should be given to him."
hiss……
Yang Ruoqing frowned.
Are these little beggars really being controlled?
"You gave him the money to please him, why did he still beat you?" she continued.
The little boy bit his lip: "My sister is sick and can't come out to beg for several days, so they let her starve."
"I hid a bun and wanted to take it back to my sister..."
Yang Ruoqing understood.
What a loving little brother.
"Where do you and your sister live?" she asked.
The little boy thought for a while: "In a big manor, the walls are so high that you can't climb out. There are many, many children there..."
"Where is that manor? In the city or outside the city?" she asked again.
The little boy looked confused: "I don't know. Every time we go out to beg, we always go out in a carriage blindfolded. When we get to the street, they put us down..."
Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing became more sure of her guess.
There are suddenly many beggars on the street, and there is a criminal gang behind them.
Even the beggar man who threatened Brother Xu Mang's daughter last time was also a member of this gang.
hateful!
While she was thinking, the little boy in front of her had already stood up, holding on to the wall.
He picked up his dog-beating stick and the broken bowl from a puddle of smelly water beside him, and limped toward the entrance of the alley.
"Where are you going?" Yang Ruoqing stood up immediately and asked him.
"If you are willing, I can help you escape from their control." She said.
The little boy turned around, looked at her gratefully, and then shook his head.
"Thank you for your kindness, sister. I can't leave. If I leave, no one will take care of my sister."
After saying these words, the little boy turned around and walked out of the alley.
By the time Yang Ruoqing followed him out, he was already begging along the street.
Looking at the thin figure walking further and further away, Yang Ruoqing felt uncomfortable.
What a responsible little brother, willing to give up his freedom for his sister.
It's not sweet to be forced. Since he has his own choice, she can't interfere forcefully.
What's more, even if he was saved, there were still a lot of little beggars outside who were being manipulated by that criminal group.
If you want to treat the symptoms and root causes, you have to start at the source.
Soon, Luo Fengtang came back.
"How is it? Have you found any traces?" Yang Ruoqing asked quickly.
Luo Fengtang looked a little solemn.
"I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface." He said.
"I followed the man all the way to the river. Suddenly, a cold arrow shot over."
"I dodged and when I came back to my senses, I realized that the target of the cold arrow was actually the man who was running away," he said.
A look of surprise flashed across Yang Ruoqing's eyes.
"So, it's... silence again?"
"So, maybe we were discovered by someone hiding in the alley while we were fighting a grievance."
she pondered.
At that moment, she was angered by the scene of the man beating the child, and ignored the nearby surveillance.
"The other party probably guessed our intention, so they killed the man first and cut off the clues!" she said.
Luo Fengtang said: "I think so too. If this is really the case, then this matter will be a bit tricky."
Yang Ruoqing nodded.
The two of them were very cautious along the way.
Although they didn't feel that anyone was following them, just to be on the safe side, the two of them walked around the street for a long time before returning to the inn.
Zuo Junmo happened to be there, so Yang Ruoqing told Zuo Junmo about the matter.
After Zuo Junmo heard this, he also made the same guess as them.
"There haven't been any famines in this area in recent years. It's impossible for there to be so many beggars, and they're all children."
Zuo Junmo said.
"In all likelihood, these children are controlled by some evil organizations and used to make money."
"I'll send someone to inquire. Maybe we can find out something." He said.
…
In Pengxian Lieutenant's mansion.
"Master Peng, what did the above say?"
The good man Pang Pang stood in front of Lieutenant Peng's desk with his back hunched over. He looked at Lieutenant Peng who was reading a letter and asked eagerly.
Lieutenant Peng Xian put down the paper in his hand and leaned back.
His fingers tapped lightly on the armrests of the chair, as if thinking.
The good man Pang Pang quickly picked up the paper on the table and looked at the ten lines.
After seeing it, he raised his head and was shocked.
"Master means to take everything here..."
The good man Pang Pang used his palm as a sword and made a killing gesture.
Peng Xianwei nodded slightly and acquiesced to Pang Dashan's question.
"Things here have been exposed. The master is dissatisfied and plans to give up here."
Lieutenant Pengxian said slowly.
The good man Pang Pang raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his face and said: "This is a big job. There are hundreds of beggars on the street alone, and there are also abducted and trafficked women."
"Killing so many people in one breath will definitely cause a stir, and the noise won't be small!" he said.
Lieutenant Peng County glanced at Pang Shanshan and said, "They are all a bunch of untouchables. Their lives are worthless, so just kill them."
"This is the master's wish. Whatever the master asks us to do, we must do it! Do you still dare to disobey me?"
"Don't dare!" Pang Dashan shook his head hurriedly, the fat on his cheeks trembling.
Even if you give him ten courages, he won't dare to disobey his master!
"Master Peng, please order me to be the executioner!" he said quickly.
Lieutenant Peng County smiled with satisfaction: "Don't be anxious, people must be killed, but you have to pay attention to the killing method."
The so-called teacher has a good reputation and his reputation is justified, so that he can stand on the commanding heights of morality.
"I have an idea here, you might as well listen to it!"
Lieutenant Peng Xian called Pang Dashan to come closer, whispered something in a low voice, and made a few light gestures with his fingers.
When Pang Dashan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and his whole body became excited.
"Wonderful, wonderful, Master Peng's plan of killing two birds with one stone is really wonderful!" End of chapter -->
