Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at the suddenly excited Song Jue speechlessly, and sighed at the same time. Sure enough, Song Jue is still the same Song Jue. Even after being the emperor for so many years, a certain innate temperament cannot be erased. dropped.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Song Jue touched his face, "Did I say the wrong thing?"
"No!" Shen Haolin shook his head, "It's so well said! It's so contagious that my blood is boiling now!"
Shen Cha saw his brother telling lies with his eyes open and couldn't control himself, so he burst out laughing.
"I'm sorry!" She covered her mouth and coughed twice, "I didn't mean to do it." She picked up the teacup in front of her and raised it to the other three people, "I apologize for using tea instead of wine. "
"Hmph, don't think that I don't know what you think." Song Jue took a sip of tea angrily, "If conditions didn't allow it, I would..."
"What do you want?" Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows, "Think about it before you talk. If you talk nonsense, I will sue the Queen Mother for you!"
"Xiao Lin, are you too overbearing? I don't even have the qualifications to think about it now?" Song Jue complained with an aggrieved face, "It won't become true!"
"That's not necessarily true." Watching Jin Jing fiddle with the charcoal basin, Shen Haolin winked at Song Jue, "At first you said you came to the border just to think about it, but now isn't your dream come true?"
"Well..." Song Jue touched his nose and laughed twice, "If you say that, I really can't refute you." He looked at Jin Jing, who was already sleepy but still holding on. , "Xiaojing, go back to sleep. I want to chat with them for a while longer."
Hearing what Song Jue said, Jin Jing immediately stood up and saluted. To be honest, he really didn't like to get involved among these three people. It was too embarrassing.
"Brother Xiao Jing!" Seeing Jin Jing walking to the door of Nuange, Shen Cha called him, "When you pass by the small kitchen, ask them to bring some hot soup."
"I know!" Jin Jing waved her hands, nodded towards Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, opened the door and left.
Shen Haolin walked slowly to the door, made sure that Jin Jing was gone, and then walked back and sat down.
"First of all, are they the same group of people?"
There were no outsiders in the Nuan Pavilion. Song Jue sat directly with Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, put a cushion on the table, and lay down on it.
"The leaders have definitely not changed, they are still the same ones we know, but the guys who are doing things are not the same group of people. After all, it has been so many years, and it is unrealistic for those leaders to do it themselves." Song Jue yawned several times in succession. "Actually, you don't need to ask what happened in those days. Just look at the appearance of the rescued children." He sighed heavily, "It's miserable, it's really miserable!"
"Those children..." Shen Cha frowned, "Are they okay?"
"The boy is better and can be carried alive, but the girl..." Song Jue shook his head gently, "It's not very good. I asked people from the Tai Hospital to guard it. It can be seen from the news they sent back. When I came out, these children were greatly stimulated. They didn't eat or drink. Once they fell asleep, they would have nightmares. You could always hear their screams in their sleep." He looked at Shen Cha, then looked at Shen Haolin, "Xiao Baizi personally went to interrogate those beasts, and they confessed that they were entrusted to find some handsome little boys and girls. As for what to do, they were not very clear. And the person who entrusted them, They are regular customers who know their details very well. They speculate that these little boys and girls should be sent to some brothels in the south of the Yangtze River. This regular customer has always been in this business."
"Absolutely impossible!" Shen Cha denied this statement, "These people are all cunning and will not tell the truth so easily."
"Cha'er is right. You just said that those children looked miserable when they were rescued, and they never came out of this shadow after they were rescued. It is absolutely impossible to be a simple abduction. If it is a trafficking They won't touch these children when they go to the brothel. Are there any injuries on these children?"
"A lot." Song Jue nodded, "From head to toe, there are almost no good places."
"Look, who do you think would want a child like this sold to those brothels in Jiangnan?" Hearing the footsteps outside the door, Shen Haolin made a gesture, stood up and walked to the door. When he opened the door, he saw Mei Lin, Mei Zhu carried two big food boxes, "Come in!"
Mei Lin and Mei Zhu quickly placed the wontons, hot and sour soup and other items in the food boxes on the table, and quickly left the Nuan Pavilion.
"Let's talk while we eat!" Shen Haolin handed Song Jue a night of chicken soup wontons, "Cha'er's favorite, try it." Then, he filled a small bowl of hot and sour soup and put it in front of Shen Cha. , "Drink it while it's hot!"
"Okay!" Shen Cha picked up the spoon, took a sip, and continued, "Brother's inference just now, I think is very reasonable. It is definitely not the simple trafficking we thought. Otherwise, after so many years, Brother Xiaojing will not I will always be worried about this matter. As I said before, they have disappeared for many years, so how did this so-called regular customer find them? Also, even if they accept this commission, they can easily find them in the surrounding cities. The county abducted some children, so why would they take such a big risk and go to Xijing to kidnap the children of a wealthy family, even Uncle Wang's family?"
"So, you think the point is... the so-called regular customer?" Seeing Shen Cha nod, Song Jue blinked, "By the way, how old was Xiaojing when she was kidnapped last time?"
"Hmm..." Shen Haolin touched his chin, "She should be around ten years old. For a human trafficker, this age is considered old."
"Actually, when I was very young, I heard a rumor. Maybe it shouldn't be called a rumor. If I hadn't run away with the wine, the rumor would have become a fact." Shen Cha took two more sips of the hot and sour soup. , put down the spoon in his hand, saw the expressions of Shen Haolin and Song Jue, and smiled, "Don't be like this, it happened a long time ago, I don't care anymore."
"But I care." Shen Haolin held her hand and said seriously, "I..."
"Brother, to me, they are already strangers, the kind of strangers that I can use. They can no longer hurt me."
"Ahem, cough, you two!" Song Jue snorted twice, "There is someone else next to you, can you pay a little more attention?" He looked at Shen Cha, "If you think so, I feel relieved. , don’t worry about irrelevant people. Although they gave birth to you, you have already repaid this little bit of so-called kindness. Without your help, I’m afraid they would have been executed in this prison incident. .”
"Your Majesty is right, I think so too." Shen Cha smiled, "Although they deserve to die, they cannot die in my hands."
"That's right!" Song Jue slurped down the remaining wontons, wiped his mouth and said, "So, did you hear that rumor from them?"
"Yes, I overheard it when they were chatting, but they didn't know." Shen Cha pushed the remaining half bowl of hot and sour soup in front of Shen Haolin, and rinsed his mouth with tea, "Keep it simple It is said that some sects in the world that specialize in cultivating death warriors and killers will maintain a very close relationship with human traffickers. The group arrested this time should be one of them."
"Speaking of which, I think I've heard of it too." Shen Haolin finished the remaining spicy soup from Shen Cha, "It was just when we were in Jiaping Pass, my father arrested several waves of human traffickers, and they mentioned this. But. Later, the number of human traffickers gradually decreased. Except for Xiaojing's case, there were no cases of child abduction. Judging from this incident, Xiaojing was abducted back then and should have been sent to those Jianghu sects. .”
"What a pitiful little Jing!" Song Jue touched her chin, "She has experienced so many things that she shouldn't have experienced at such a young age."
"You, go back and ask the commander-in-chief to investigate in this direction." A sneer flashed across Shen Haolin's face, "Let's see who is causing trouble behind the scenes. Maybe we can really catch a few big fish. It’s causing a sensation throughout Xijing!”
