Chapter 53 No worries!
"It's not a cellar?"
After coming down, Cao Xin realized that he was wrong in guessing.
Entering from the entrance under the bedroom bed is not a cellar at all, but an underground passage. Following the ladder to the bottom, it is a small space, about the size of a thatched cottage.
Further out, there is a channel connecting.
Cao Xin took out the torch from his portable space and leaned forward. After walking about seventy or eighty steps, he reached the end. After a closer look, there was a secret door at the end.
Push open the secret door.
It's pitch black.
"here it is--"
Cao Xinyi was brave and took a torch and looked around, and he was already clear in his heart: "This is a worry-free cave!"
...
"The ditches in Xijing are very deep and wide, and most of them are hidden in it. They are called "Wuyou Cave"; even those who steal women are called "Guifanlou". They are often found in the country when they first reached their prosperous times, and even if they are talented, they cannot be eliminated."
...
"Worry-free Cave."
"Ghost Fanlou."
These two are mysterious and mysterious, and they are ordinary.
The underground drainage system of Xijing City is deep and wide, and people can live in it. Many desperate people hide it inside. They call this "Worry-free Cave".
Some human traffickers abducted women and children and hid them here, also called "Ghost Fanlou".
It existed from the beginning of the dynasty to the prosperous times. Although the court often sent people to pay the bill, it could not be eliminated.
As time goes by, the times have evolved, and the "Worry-free Cave" has become synonymous with the lawless land that hides dirt and is a land beyond law.
There are many evildoers hidden inside, chaotic and disorderly, and a group of moles living in the darkness.
The order collapsed.
The strong are respected.
Some people come and go alone and fight alone.
Some people survive and rely on the strong.
There are also strong alliances to make them bigger and stronger.
Among them, the latter is the most famous one.
"There is a Fan Tower on the earth and on earth, which is a place of first-class enjoyment."
Fanlou!
This is a very famous entertainment venue in Xijing City. It has three floors high and five floors facing each other. It can accommodate thousands of people. It can eat, drink, sleep and sleep in flowers and willows. It is a place where wealthy merchants, nobles, and children of wealthy families in the city seek fun. If outsiders enter the capital, if they don’t go to Fanlou, they will not be considered as seeing the world.
As for the name of "Ghost Fanlou", you can imagine what kind of place it is.
A group of vicious people, based on Wuyou Cave, specializes in illegal rituals. They take children in the streets and alleys, commonly known as "Paihuazi". People who lost their children are anxious to find them, but as long as they take their children into the underground channel, the child will be gone.
Even if parents go to the government to report the matter, the yamen runners will not find their den.
The vastness of Xijing City is, the size of this "Worry-free Cave" is, which is well-connected, like an underground city.
The trafficked children grow up in it and receive the teachings of the "predecessors", and their views are distorted.
Boys become beggars or pickpockets, and when they grow up, they become a new group of generals in the "Ghost Fanlou".
The fate of a girl is even more miserable-
The obedient ones sold to the brothels above, and the disobedient ones stayed underground, and the same thing was done in the business of fireworks and willow alleys.
The yamen at all levels in Xijing City and the military commanders of the Five Cities have to be cleaned up several times a year, but it is difficult to cause a heavy blow.
Too many difficulties!
The people from the "Ghost Fanlou" have lived here for a long time, and are very familiar with the terrain inside. They are well aware of the "Enemy comes and I run, and I retreat and I return". Officials who are not familiar with the terrain cannot find them at all.
Secondly, in addition to channels, there are also ancient cities in the Warring States Period. The folk song says this - "Kaifeng City, the city is piled up, and there are several cities buried underground." This undoubtedly increases the difficulty.
On the other hand, although there are many criminals in the "Wuyou Cave" such as "Ghost Fanlou", more of them are homeless poor people. To a certain extent, they are hostages of the suspects, and they are afraid to force them too hard.
Going further, if the clearance is successful, what will the people inside deal with?
So many people suddenly appear, and the court cannot control their food, clothing, housing and transportation, will cause greater chaos.
Therefore, over time, let it go.
These people in the "Wuyou Cave" are also very aware of each other. They only look for outstanding people among the people who are abducted and never look for officials. They only dare to offend people among the people and dare not get involved in the government.
To a certain extent, it can be regarded as bullying the weak and afraid of the strong.
However, there are rumors that the "Ghost House" has collusion with the officials, with protective umbrellas on it, a lot of money for filial piety, and the best-quality "slim horse" is offered every year, with a considerable background.
Among the above difficulties in clearing out the crackdown, the so-called "innocent people", "hostages", and "resettlement" are afraid that these corrupt officials are clamoring and dragging their backs.
...
"The genus attached to the bone!"
"This is a stubborn disease!"
Cao Xin first heard the information about "Wuyou Cave" and "Ghost Fan Tower" from Tang Miao. Later, after exploring it himself, he became more and more aware that it was not easy to clear out "Wuyou Cave" and destroy the "Ghost Fan Tower".
The power of one person is even more slim.
"It may be."
Powerful enemies tend to disintegrate more easily from the inside.
Cao Xin did not stay in the underground crypt for too long, so he soon returned to the underground crypto room and began to interrogate the two human traffickers.
...
If you dare to shoot Huazi in Xijing City, these two people have the ability to seek benefits and avoid harm.
Cao Xin interrogated the two separately and soon got to know them.
These two are not old and are in their early twenties.
The young man is called "Li Liang" and the woman is called "Ren Xiaomei". He is a couple. He has been in this industry for four or five years and specializes in selling children with good looks and smart and flexible appearance, making a lot of profits.
But they are not considered to be the direct descendants of "Ghost Fanlou", they can only be considered as non-staff members. They are the regular soldiers of Guifanlou - they grew up in Guifanlou since they were young, and most of them are martial artists.
For example, the online "Shi Chuang" of Li Liang and others is a formal disciple of Gui Fanlou.
Li Liang and his wife abducted the child in Xijing City and sent him to Wuyou Cave underground. Then, "Shi Chuang" came to join him and sent the child to the stronghold of Guifanlou.
This is online.
In addition, Li Liang and Ren Xiaomei also had contacts with several beggars in Maxing Street Market. These beggars were also from Gui Fanlou and belonged to Shi Chuang.
Each beggar head controls dozens or hundreds of beggars of all sizes. When begging, he searches for children and then handes the news to Li Liang.
Li Liang and Ren Xiaomei followed and waited for an opportunity to start.
After success, they will be handed over to Shi Chuang and sent to Guifanlou.
In this way, an industrial chain is formed.
...
"shocking!"
Li Liang and the other two have been trafficked in four or five years.
Thinking about it carefully is extremely scary!
Think about it, for example, how many channels Guifanlou has mastered in total? How many people will harm in a year?
It's really shocking.
However, what is even more desperate is that even if a human trafficker like Li Liang and Ren Xiaomei is caught, even if he is forced to ask about the identities of "Shi Chuang" and the several beggars who provide information, he can even follow the clues and take down all of these people and kill them.
But then, Guifanlou could easily launch another disciple, appoint a few beggars, and find a few human traffickers.
Make a comeback.
As usual.
With three or five people in hand and one or two routes, this does not pose any threat to Guifanlou, who has a large family and a large number of soldiers and generals.
"How can I completely wipe it out?"
Cao Xin thought for a while, four or five suggestions suddenly popped up in his mind.
There are many ways to do it.
There are light and heavy, there are urgent and slow, there are difficulties and easy.
But the specific operation needs to be studied.
