"Sure enough, I still can't bear to part with my son-in-law."

"You two dead girls, if I had known, I would have changed to Azhu, who didn't talk much."

"Okay, we dare not."

The two girls surrendered, and the master and servant smiled and led Cheng Fei back to his room to take a nap...

Chen Huang, who was far away in Yingdu, took a murder case for Ruoao Zike to him, and he also brought up a case of a circle of people. It was the strong man who sent people to send back to Beijing by Cheng Jia and Mi Huang.

As the defeated Si, Ruo Ao Zike didn't take it seriously, just called Chen Huang and Cheng Jia, the brother-in-law, to take over.

In the dark prison, several prisoners followed him and smiled and complimented, "Lord Tingli is so busy recently!"

“Busy?”

Chen Huang held the case file in his hand and raised his eyebrows, disagreed.

Ruo Ao Zike often left the yamen to come these days, and he didn't know what he was busy with. It was a bit mysterious. He threw all the chores of the Criminal Division to him. Compared to him, he was naturally busy.

Since the entire Yingdu handled Zhou Mu's major case last year, there have been no major cases. They are just cases of thieves and can't get busy even if they want to. Poor he stood firm for Ruoao Zike and could not go out for fun with Qingqing.

"Let's go, bring the criminal out!"

"Look at who dares to ban refugees privately."

Chen Huang sat behind the long case for interrogation, threw the case file at random onto the table. After the person sat down, he ordered someone to take it out. Now, unlike him last year, he has the identity of Cheng's son-in-law, and he still gives him some face to everyone. Even Ruoao Zike is having fun with him.

"Yes, sir."

Several prison leaders took the prison guards to detain a group of strong men in batches. Chen Huang frowned and looked at the strong men kneeling on the ground and howled. They all had bruised noses and swollen faces, and they were secretly frowned, "So many? Twenty or thirty?"

"How many refugees have they surrounded?" Chen Huang asked.

"This time, they caught more than a dozen furry children, and then they were discovered by Adult Cheng on the spot." Li Jun, the aide beside him, replied.

Chen Huang nodded. More than a dozen people were not considered a major case.

If there are more people behind this group of people and a population of tens of thousands, that is a big case of selling people slightly.

I don’t know why Cheng Jia mobilized all the troops to send these gangsters to Beijing.

"Did they tell who the head of the family behind them?"

These people are just thugs in a clear way, Chen Huang thought about it and asked.

"They said that the one who guarded them was a man named Master Xian." Li Jun replied, "But we checked all the merchants in Yingdu and nearby counties, and there was no wealthy businessman named Xian."

"The surname Xian is not much in our Chu State."

Chen Huang nodded.

"So, are there anything else to ask?"

"Then there are not many important things. These people are just thugs. They collect money to arrest people. When they are caught, they will be sent to the designated location and someone will take over." Li Jian flipped through the confession he made.

"Where did they send people on weekdays?" Chen Huang nodded and recorded these.

"A deserted farm in the suburbs is a lordless farm. They said that they just sent people in there."

"I guess they've sent people a few times."

Li Jun thought about it and said, "This should be an organized long-term human tooth, or a big tooth shop to support him."

When Chen Huang heard this, he nodded. Finally, it was not a few small fish and shrimps, who could add some political achievements to his position as a court. "Then how many times did they send people, how many people in total?"

"They didn't say that, they insisted that they only caught these dozen children and signed a contract with them. They just caught them."

Li Jian took out a stack of contracts they handed over and shook his head and said, "These are contracts for those children. According to Lord Cheng, the children insisted that they were refugees after the flood. When they encountered these people being forcibly detained and trafficked into slaves, they wanted to escape, but these thugs chased them tightly and wanted to catch them back."

"Since they refuse to say it, has Zhuangzi sent someone to investigate?"

"I'm going to send someone to investigate."

"Let's go and have a look together."

Chen Huang closed the file and then told several prisoners, "Help these guys well for me until they are willing to give more." Then he led people out of the prison.

"Yes, sir, don't worry!"

"They are so happy that they can greet you."

Several prisoners turned around and looked at the strong man kneeling on the ground with a fierce look, and shouted loudly, "Brothers, please try all the punishments in our prison, and use them all."

More than a dozen jailers walked to the wall and picked up the torture instruments one by one. It turns out that in this world, they are all soft and afraid of hardness and evil and cruel.

All the strong men kneeling on the ground looked at the various torture instruments hanging on the wall, each of which was shining with a cold light, revealing a hint of fear, "Men, can we still deal with it now?"

"No, if you just call me first, you won't have this trip."

"Now that sir, if you come back, you will not be suffering from flesh and blood. We will not be able to do this job well." The prisoners rubbed their fists, their eyes slashed across the thorny whip and nail board with nails, and said with ease.

All the strong men suddenly felt a cold sweat behind them.

After so many years of doing this kidnapping, it was the first time they were arrested in Yingdu. It seemed that the superiors gave up on them this time. When the strong men thought of this, they knew everything and said everything.

But they really don't know much.

In addition to the place where the person was handed over, there were also people who had collected more than twenty times after the flood. At the most, they arrested refugees in the entire village at one time. Almost thousands of people were there, and they could not say anything else.

After Li Jian, who was taking the transcript, ordered the prison guard to ask them to mark and press their handprints. "It seems that the case is not small this time. There was a big flood. They caught thousands of people. I can give Chen Tingli an explanation."

The prisoners nodded frequently, "We don't think they look like anything good either."

...

On the other end, Chen Huang led the officers and soldiers of the Criminal Prison to rush to the village outside the city where the thugs confessed. In the evening, they saw the abandoned village outside the city. The whole village was big and there was nothing. I don’t know how long it had been abandoned. They were both inside and outside, and they turned over tables and cabinets, and the buildings were empty, and there was no one even a figure.

It can be seen that someone had already run away in front of them and they were leaving in a hurry.

Chen Huang and his people frowned when they saw this, looked at the staff beside them and said, "It seems that the news has leaked."

"What should I do if Tingli does?"

The staff asked.

"First ask someone to guard the place to see if anyone comes back, search the surroundings to see if there are any traces or evidence left. If they catch people, there must be a place to continue to transfer people." Chen Huang thought.

"Yes, sir."

On the way back to the Criminal Prison Office, Chen Huang was wondering where they could transfer people? Or was there a next company that had bought these refugees who were in the strong circle? Or was there a cunning rabbit who had three holes?

After returning to the Imperial Gate, Li Jun told him a new interrogation result.

"Sir, after the prison chief torture, all these thugs were taken. They have arrested more than a thousand people after this flood."

"So much?" Chen Huang was shocked when he heard this.

"Yes, sir, it seems that there must be someone behind these people."

Since he took office, Yingdu has been calm for more than half a year, and even thieves have not caught a few every month. Now, a group of people have been caught all of a sudden. Unexpectedly, it is still a vaguely big tooth shop. Not only is it a big tooth shop, but they may still be a very organized tooth shop.

Trafficking people is called "simple sales" in major vassal states. Although the laws and regulations of various countries are still incomplete, they unanimously stipulate that this is a serious crime, including major crimes such as robbers, killing and injuring people, and stealing graves, and being punished with corpses (after beheading and splitting the body).

The fundamental reason is that during the Spring and Autumn Period, the population of various countries was sparsely populated, and most of the population was a permanent population in the war. Some large or slightly sold gangs transferred the population of a certain country to other countries through the squad, forcibly encircled the good people as slaves, and made huge profits from it.

Although the nobles and nobles from all major families of princes and lords all bought people privately, they explicitly prohibited the trafficking of their own people to other countries, especially those with thousands of people, which is a serious crime.

Chen Huang pondered for a while, "You sent someone to call Lord Situ of the Wucheng Military and Ma Si, and said that he would help us handle the case."

"yes!"

"Wait, send someone to send the information we found to Chengyoutu on the Dongjiao."

"yes!"

Chen Huang suddenly felt a little uneasy. Looking at the dark sky outside the window, it was dark, and then he realized it was dark. He said to the staff who were sorting out the case, "It's dark?"

"Yes, Lord Tingli, I was about to say that I was holding the light." Li Jian picked up the flint and lit the oil lamp.

"Well, since it's so late, please find me some of the missing or trafficking cases reported in the past or two years, and then go back first, and I'll take a look at the case."

Li Jian brought out a stack of missing and trafficking cases reported in recent years from the file clerk next to him, "That adult, I'm here, I'll leave first."

"Um."

The case that Cheng Jia gave him was the biggest case he had ever taken since taking office.

Although only 20 or 30 people have been caught now, there is a very likely future where there will be a whole gang of selling or a big tooth shop in which country is backed by.

Chen Huang looked at the files on the table, leaning against the chair, suddenly felt heavy on his shoulders for no reason, and sighed, suddenly understanding why he always felt that Cheng Jia was so tired before.

These big cases and big events have been suppressed.

When you are younger brother, you can go home first, but they still have to continue to resist.

This is responsibility!

"Forget it, Wei Qingqing, I have worked hard to get married, and I will do it no matter how tired I am!"

He buryed his head and flipped up the file. The oil lamp on the desk was out of oil several times. Chen Huang ate and added oil to continue investigating the case. Fortunately, Qingqing didn't wait for him to come home for dinner recently, so he could concentrate on doing things.

In the garrison of the Wucheng Military Office located in the south of the city, a messenger came in and reported, "Mr. Duwei, Chen Tingli from the Criminal Prison Office said that he wanted to recruit some officers and soldiers from you to help them investigate a case of refugee ban."

"The refugee circle is banned?"

Situ Nan, who was playing with people in the martial arts field, held up his long spear in his hand and chuckled, "This Chen Huangxin took office, three fires, I want to solve the big case like Cheng Jia."

"The public security inside and outside Yingdu is all under the responsibility of our five cities' military commanders. His hand is too long." The young adjutant also put away his sword and returned to the sheath with disdain, "I really think that he has become a phoenix when he is a poor family."

"Since he wants to check it, let him check it!"

Situ Nan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a shiny flashed by. He smiled and placed the long halberd on the weapon stand with a "crown" sound, "It is the real ability to find out."
