A group of cavalry drove out with a bang and galloped away.
Jia Cong led fifty soldiers, including Li Biao, Tiezhu and others, to kill the nearest human trafficker's den.
These human traffickers are all repeat criminals, and each one is very alert.
We must make a quick attack before they get the news and capture them in one fell swoop.
Otherwise, if they get the news and run away directly, it will be difficult to catch them again.
The reason why people from the Beicheng Army and Horse Division are not allowed to come forward is because they are afraid that the personnel of the Beicheng Army and Horse Division will be complicated, so as not to leak the information and alert the enemy.
A quarter of an hour later, everyone arrived at a luxurious courtyard.
If it weren't for the confession, I would never have imagined that those traffickers would hide here.
I don’t know whose name this courtyard is in, so I need to investigate it carefully afterwards.
Jia Cong waved his hand, and everyone dispersed and surrounded the entire courtyard to prevent anyone from escaping. Li Biao led two teams of men and horses, broke through the door directly, and fought their way in.
Immediately, bursts of killing sounds and screams came from inside.
Jia Cong did not go in. There was no need to take action personally in such a small scene. Li Biao and the two teams of soldiers were enough.
After a while, five or six people climbed over the wall and escaped. They were knocked down and tied up by the soldiers guarding outside.

The faster a battle happens, the faster it ends.
With the combat power of Li Biao and others, when the numbers are equal, two or three rounds will be over.
A total of twenty-five human traffickers were arrested, but no one was killed this time. Seven or eight abducted children were also found.
After searching the entire yard carefully and finding nothing else, they rushed to the next place.
An hour later, Jia Cong escorted more than thirty people and a dozen children back to the Bingma Si Yamen in Beicheng.
This gang of human traffickers actually had fifty or sixty people and abducted nearly twenty children. They were really crazy and audacious.
It is said that every year, dozens of women and children in the city disappear due to various reasons.
Then, it never appeared again.
But when it comes to such things, the government often turns a blind eye or closes one eye.
At most, the best thing to do is to send some more people to investigate around the city, and then leave it alone.
The reason is that the Shenjing City is too big and has too many people, so a thorough investigation is simply impossible.
Besides, everyone has been taken out of the capital, where can you go to check?
Especially if it's for one or two insignificant people, it's not worth it to waste a lot of time.
This kind of behavior from the government also emboldens the arrogance of these traffickers in a disguised way, making them become more unscrupulous.
This time he bumped into Jia Cong's hand, which was considered retribution.
Returning to Beicheng Soldiers and Horses Division, there were actually a lot more people here.
When Zeng Yuanping saw Jia Cong back, he hurriedly greeted him. When he saw more than thirty human traffickers and nearly twenty children tied up, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This Shangguan, apart from anything else, is very powerful in terms of his ability to do things.
Ordinary officials are really incomparable.
It's just that being too young, too impulsive, and too idealistic is not a good thing after all.
If this continues, if there are too many people offended, they will eventually be attacked in groups.
However, this has nothing to do with him, so he should deal with the man in front of him first.
"Congratulations, sir. You have returned with a great victory. You have wiped out the gang of human traffickers in one fell swoop. You have eliminated harm to the people of Shenjing City. You have also saved so many children and allowed those who lost their children to reunite their families. It is really a great merit."
This guy has no other skills, but he is really good at flattery. Even Jia Cong felt very comfortable after hearing this.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Commander Zeng has given me the prize, but a bunch of chickens and wagyu are nothing worth mentioning. I would like to trouble Commander Zeng to find someone to take care of these children and have them claimed as soon as possible so that their family can be reunited." .
However, we must be careful and don't believe those people's words easily. We must see the child's reaction and whether he knows his parents. Don't let some people with ulterior motives take advantage of the loophole. That will be our sin. "
Zeng Yuanping nodded and said: "Don't worry, sir, this matter will be handled properly. There are indeed many people in Shuntian Mansion who have lost their children and went to the government office to report them. I have already asked them to inform them to come and claim their children." ”
At this time, a man in official uniform came over, bowed his hands to Jia Cong and said, "I have met Ning Guogong. We are from Shuntian Mansion. We have been ordered by Master Yin to receive the prisoners and return them." Please Ning Guogong, please hand over the prisoner to your subordinates and take him back to the government office."
These people were very well-informed and moved very quickly. They actually came back to the door in the middle of the night.
If this person is brought back, it will immediately become the credit of Shuntian Mansion.
Jia Cong didn't care about this credit, but the Iron Blood Gang was involved later, but the news couldn't be leaked, so as not to alert the snake, let alone lose the witness.
Since the Iron Blood Gang is openly disobeying his own laws, no matter what his purpose is, he will not let them go.
What's more, the biggest possibility is that they are targeting you, so you can't let them go.
Before this matter is over, it is impossible for the criminal to be taken away by Shuntian Mansion. This guy's trip is destined to be in vain.
"Your actions are really very fast. If you are also at this speed when dealing with eucalyptus, what kind of eucalyptus cannot be broken? Now that I have intervened in this case, I will get to the bottom of it.
So, I'm sorry to have you make this trip in vain. These criminals cannot be handed over to you for the time being. If you want them after this case is over, I will send them to you again. "
The man did not stop there, but spoke again: "Ning Guogong, is it not good for you to do this? The parents of the child went to our Shuntian Mansion to report the case, and our Shuntian Mansion also accepted it. This case should be handled by us. Let Shuntian Mansion handle it."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Since you said that, you can just look for clues to solve the case. Who do we want? According to the records of previous years, these human traffickers are not a group. You should mobilize people to find them quickly. , to avoid being escaped."
That guy was also a zodiac sign, and he kept pestering him, which made Jia Cong a little angry.
But she couldn't do anything to him, and finally said to him: "If you really want someone, come back in three days. If you pester me again, don't blame me for being rude. If someone comes, look at him. If you pester me again, just call him out."
The guy saw that Jia Cong really didn't let go, so he led the people away angrily.
This time, we directly caught the leader of this group of traffickers and killed them all.
Jia Cong asked Li Biao to interrogate these people again, focusing on the leader of the traffickers.
Qingwen also rushed over with the information and gave it to Jia Cong after Yue Ya compiled the information.
Jia Cong read through it carefully, highlighted some suspicious people, and asked Tie Zhu to arrange for someone to investigate and find out the details of these people.
At the same time, Tie Zhu was asked to find Yue Ya, read the information about the Iron Blood Gang, conduct a careful investigation of the Iron Blood Gang, and prepare for the next action.
After arranging everything, Jia Cong sat on the chair and thought carefully.
The best time to deal with the Iron-Blooded Gang is to raid overnight.
Kill them in one fell swoop when they are unprepared, without giving them any time to react.
However, the person behind the Iron Blood Gang was the second prince, which made Jia Cong a little troubled.
Once he wiped out the Iron Blood Gang, he would be on the opposite side of the second prince. Then, he and the second prince would be completely enemies. The old and new grudges could no longer be resolved.
No matter how generous the second prince is, he can't pretend that nothing happened.
Even if you choose to tolerate it for the time being and not cause trouble for yourself, you will take the opportunity to make trouble in the future.
If you choose to ignore it, let the Iron Blood Gang go, and treat it as unaware, you can barely maintain a superficial relationship.
By doing this, are the Iron Blood Gang deliberately targeting themselves and causing trouble for themselves?
When they did this, did the second prince mean it?
Jia Cong could not confirm this.
If the Iron Bloods wanted to help him, then that would be fine. If the Second Prince ordered them to do this, then it would be meaningless for him to give in.
It is very unwise for you to still have sweet dreams of calming things down when others have made it clear that they are in the right position with you.
Jia Cong thought over and over again and decided to hold off for now.
As soon as day breaks, he will go into the palace to see Emperor Longqing, report the matter to him, and let him make the decision.
If the emperor gives way, let's move again. If the emperor doesn't let us move, then forget it.
There is also an advantage to doing this, that is, the emperor will not have any opinions about himself.
After all, the second prince is the son of Emperor Longqing, and they are biological father and son. If he had made a move without saying a word, even if Emperor Longqing didn't say it on the surface, he would definitely have opinions about him in his heart.
Having made up his mind, Jia Cong asked someone to bring a pen and paper and write a memorial.
He wrote down exactly what happened, found several confessions, and attached them as well.
At this time, Li Biao came in and said with cupped hands: "Sir, those people have been recruited. The leader of the human traffickers has also recruited all his strongholds in various places. This is a confession."
Jia Cong nodded, took the confession, and read it carefully.
He raised his head and said to Li Biao: "There will be no action tonight. Let the brothers go to the barracks to rest for a while. I will make plans after consulting with His Majesty."
"Yes, sir, I understand."
Lin Biao agreed, turned around and went down.
······
In the imperial palace, in the royal study.
Emperor Longqing read the memorial in his hand and put it aside.
I am very satisfied with Jia Cong's attitude in doing things. This guy is really resolute. He arrested all the human traffickers in just one night. This efficiency is really incredible.
Compared with the old bureaucrats in the government, who only know how to talk and procrastinate in doing things, they are many times better.
He raised his head and said to Jia Cong: "You did a good job in this matter. You successfully captured the human trafficker gang and rescued the abducted children, so that these families could avoid the pain of separation. I am very relieved."
Since this Iron Blood Gang provided them with information, according to your style, you should not let them go. Why didn't you take action directly this time? Instead, report it to me first? Let me make the decision? "
Jia Cong cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I also want to suppress the Iron-Blooded Gang overnight, so as not to give them a chance to react. However, I dare not provoke the people behind the Iron-Blooded Gang, so I can only come to Your Majesty to make the decision."
Emperor Longqing laughed when he heard this: "Why, there are still people you dare not provoke? You are not even afraid of King Zhongshun. Is the person behind the Iron Blood Gang more powerful than King Zhongshun?"
Jia Cong smiled sheepishly and said: "Your Majesty, I used to live in Zhuangzi, and then I went to Liaodong for three years. I rarely stayed in the capital. I didn't know who was behind the Jinsha Gang. I found out later that it was King Zhongshun.
In fact, I don’t want to provoke anyone from the royal family. After all, they have special status and aloof status. They cannot be touched lightly, let alone by me. The backstage of the Iron Blood Gang has something to do with His Majesty, so I dare not touch them. "
Emperor Long Qing laughed and scolded: "You brat, you got me in while you were talking. Tell me, who is that person? I also want to know now."
Jia Cong hesitated for a moment and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is His Highness the Second Prince."
Emperor Longqing was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that this man would be his son.
After looking at Jia Cong for a few times, I knew that it was impossible for him to joke with me about this kind of thing, so I believed him eight or nine times.
He turned to look at Dai Quan and asked, "Is this true?"
Dai Quan cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to my master, the leader of the Iron Blood Gang is indeed very close to His Highness the Second Prince. As for the backstage of the Iron Blood Gang, I cannot guarantee whether it is the Second Prince or not."
Dai Quan said this just for the sake of caution and did not say anything to death.
Emperor Longqing already understood in his heart that this matter was very close. He had been a prince before, so he was no stranger to these things. It was just to make money and cultivate power.
This is the only way for most princes. Several of his sons are getting older, and the battle for the crown prince has already begun.
Emperor Longqing said: "Jia Aiqing, what do you think I should do?"
Faced with Emperor Longqing's question, Jia Cong did not answer directly and chose to practice Tai Chi.
"Your Majesty is the lord of a country. You can do whatever you want. I will obey your Majesty's orders in everything."
Emperor Long Qing stretched out his hand and nodded Jia Cong and said: "You little naughty boy will make trouble for me. Apart from this, does the Iron-Blooded Gang have other illegal activities?"
Jia Cong said: "Your Majesty, none of these gangs are clean. If they are dealt with according to law, these people will all die."
Emperor Longqing said: "In that case, let's wipe out the Iron-Blooded Gang. Jia Cong listened to the order, and I ordered you to be responsible for wiping out the Iron-Blooded Gang. I asked Dai Quan to follow you and be responsible for helping you deal with the aftermath."
Jia Cong quickly knelt down and said loudly: "My lord, Jia Cong accepts the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Emperor Longqing asked Dai Quan to follow him, probably because he was interested in the property of the Iron Blood Gang and wanted to take it back to the inner treasury.
That's fine, with Dai Quan following him, he doesn't have to worry about counting assets, and the emperor will feel more at ease.
Jia Cong received the imperial edict, Dai Quan put on a few more young eunuchs, and the group left the palace and rushed to the Beicheng Military and Horse Department.
Arriving at the Beicheng Army and Horse Department, Jia Cong asked Zeng Yuanping to summon 500 soldiers and assemble in the school grounds.
Jia Cong shouted: "The Iron Blood Gang blatantly defied the law, colluded with the human traffickers, and treated the king's laws as child's play. In accordance with His Majesty's decree, the Iron Blood Gang was annihilated and the lawless criminals were intimidated. If there was resistance, they would be killed without mercy.
Zeng commanded the envoy, and you will lead the soldiers to serve as the main attack, wipe out the Iron Blood Gang, and set off. "
