Chapter 1923 Sea Chart 980
"Lost a child?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Hasn't a child been lost in Ubi City before? Why do you think it's related to Boss Luan?"
"It must have never been lost!" Ning Cheng was a little unsure. He looked at Shen Haolin and Chen Cha, "Although I haven't been to the Western Regions yet, I also know a lot of common sense about the Western Regions from the merchants in the Western Regions. There are a lot of things, but I'm afraid that when I go there in the future, I won't be able to integrate them quickly. I heard from businessmen in the Western Regions that although not every city is like Ubi City and Golden City, every household has a lot of gold, and they are all extremely rich. Oil, you only do business when you have nothing to do, but compared to Daxia, every family does not worry about livelihood. In various cities in the Western Region, it is basically rare to see beggars, and it is also rare to see people begging. Those who sell sons and daughters. Besides, their value for children is completely different from ours. We prefer boys because boys can inherit the family business, but it is different in the Western Regions. Both boys and girls can inherit the family business. More importantly, they are not the same as concubines."
"I know a little about this." Shen Haolin nodded, "There are laws in the Western Regions. If a man marries four wives, the status of the four wives is equal and the same. Their children are not distinguished as legitimate concubines."
"The Duke is right." Ning Cheng nodded, "It's different from the so-called three wives and four concubines in our Daxia. Our household registration in Daxia is that there can only be one main wife, and the background of the side wife and aunt are the same. The status cannot be higher than that of the main wife, but if one is born well, it is impossible to be a concubine or concubine for others, right? Of course, except for the royal family, I guess many girls from good families feel that marrying into the palace is a step to success. .”
"Ha!" Shen Cha sneered, "I'm afraid only those who have truly lived in the palace will understand that life outside the palace is the freest and happiest." She shook her head helplessly, "Continue to talk about losing children. thing."
"Boys and girls in the Western Region are all the same, and the number of children in the family is also the same. Few families will throw away their children. Anyway, the family is rich, and even the bastards and prodigal ones can afford to raise them. Of course, except for those who are in love with the enemy and elope together." Ning Cheng sighed, "So in the Western Region, losing a child is a top priority and everyone is concerned about it."
"So, people from the Western Regions still have a sense of justice, right?"
"What sense of justice? General, you think too highly of them. They are just bored and like to watch the fun. They don't really care whether the culprit who kidnapped the children can be found. What they care about is finding the children. The process of catching bad guys brings a lot of fun to their boring lives and makes them feel that their lives are very fulfilling."
"The brains of people from the Western Regions..." Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin helplessly, sighed, and said, "It's indeed quite strange."
Shen Haolin nodded, he thought so too, but he was more concerned about other issues.
"What are the lost children like? How come you think they are related to Boss Luan?"
"There are both boys and girls. They are all about two or three years old. They are the kind of age where they don't remember anything at all. As for family background..." Ning Cheng thought for a while, "The merchants in the Western Regions never said that families in the Western Regions, unless they are City lords, nobles, etc. are all basically the same, and no one cares. In fact, it is not necessary to think that it is related to Boss Luan, because there are no so-called human traffickers in the Western Regions. In their hearts, those who abduct children must be outsiders. Boss Luan is the most conspicuous among the outsiders. Moreover, it is not unreasonable for him to be suspected. This happened when he lived in Ubi City. He left Ubi City and returned to Daxia. This situation will disappear. I guess anyone with some brains will think of him."
"How could someone like him, who takes several steps, do such a stupid thing?" Shen Cha shook his head gently, "Think about the time he delivered medicine to your father-in-law, and then look at this, it's obvious It's not his style or his usual approach, is it?" "You mean, someone wants to frame him? Why?"
"Why?" Shen Cha shook his head, "It's hard to say. Maybe it's his enemy, maybe it's a colleague who doesn't like him. What he did may have cut off someone else's financial path, or it may have cut off someone else's wealth. To make a living, he has always been ruthless in doing things, leaving no escape route for others. It is already very difficult for him to survive until now without being assassinated."
"You're right." Shen Haolin nodded, smiled at Shen Cha, and said, "I'm afraid there are many people who want him to die, but there are only a few who can make him die." He raised his eyebrows slightly. , his eyes fell on Ning Cheng again, "What happened to those abandoned children?"
"I ran back after being lost for four or five days. There was no injury anywhere, not even a scratch on my skin. I had delicious food and drink, and I also wore a new piece of clothing." Ning Cheng sighed softly, " What’s strange is that when adults ask them what they have experienced during this time, they don’t know anything. They don’t know anything and can’t remember anything.”
"Don't remember anything?"
"A few little ones said that a beautiful aunt asked them to play with them and sent them back after they finished playing. But the adults followed their instructions and went to find the place where the so-called beautiful aunt lived. The building is already empty, and there is not even anyone who can breathe." Ning Cheng spread his hands, shrugged helplessly, and said, "I asked several times and got the same result. I found the empty and ownerless house. There are several, but there is no clue about this so-called beautiful aunt. However, the Western Region businessmen also said that since Boss Luan completely left Ubi City, such a thing has never happened again. "
"This..." Shen Cha touched his chin, blinked his eyes, and asked, "Beautiful aunt, could she be the city lord's little daughter?"
"Ah?" Ning Cheng looked at Shen Cha and thought for a moment, "What do you mean..."
"Maybe she missed her children too much, so she found such a big child to accompany her, but after all, these children belong to other people's families and will eventually be sent back, so..." Shen Cha sighed He took a breath and said, "Are you sure the guy who eloped has never been found?"
"That's what the merchants from the Western Regions said, but it's not true that they haven't been found. I don't know for sure." Ning Cheng held the teacup with a sad expression and said, "If this beautiful aunt is really the city lord's youngest daughter, then she It’s so pathetic!”
"It must have never been lost!" Ning Cheng was a little unsure. He looked at Shen Haolin and Chen Cha, "Although I haven't been to the Western Regions yet, I also know a lot of common sense about the Western Regions from the merchants in the Western Regions.
