Chapter 52
Although they were not injured, after all, the female relatives' reputation is more important. After registering, the female relatives will go back first.

At the foot of the mountain, Jiang Xin received Qin Lang, who was carrying prey, and a group of children with blood on their bodies.

Jiang Xin reluctantly picked up a few children and a bunch of prey, Qin Lang went up the mountain to continue to check if there was a secret room, and she returned with a group of female relatives.

In fact, as soon as Jiang He disappeared today, she immediately thought that Jiang Huimin had found the Qianji Pavilion group again, and when she pried open the secret door behind the toilet, she felt that there was something wrong with the Yuanyang Taoist Temple.

You Qi also found a room full of weapons, what is this Yuanyang Taoist temple trying to do?
The journey was fine, and we arrived in Zhen'an City in a safe and sound manner. Jiang Xin asked the coachman to drive the Feng family back together, and then divided some of the prey that Qin Lang and the others had killed. Mother Feng thanked Jiang Xin very much. The caring, the mother and daughter were indeed a little frightened, terribly frightened.

After sending off the people, Jiang Xin and the others drove back to their home. The prey Jiang Xin kept two hares, and let Heidou Doudou take the children to the compound for the rest.

The helper cleaned up the rabbits, cut them into small pieces according to Jiang Xin's request, and marinated them in clay pots with various seasonings.

Jiang He took a bath here, drank a bowl of soothing soup, was told by Jiang Xin to practice physical skills for another half an hour, and lay down to sleep.

Huzi and Lele had a good time playing for half a day today, but they were also scared from behind. When Jiang Xin and Xiao Hu entered the door, the two children followed, and Qin Tao from the next door came to play with them. They don't want to leave Jiang Xin too far.

Xiao Hu dug out the rice and millet and asked the helper to wash the steamed rice, and said to Jiang Xin angrily: "These human traffickers who are paid thousands of dollars, why are they endless? Look, they scare the children."

Jiang Xin sighed: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Things were really as Jiang Xin thought, it was really not that simple.

Two pots of rabbits were fried for dinner, one pot was slightly spicy and the other pot was spicy. The autumn Chinese cabbage came down, pickled a little sour, shredded and stewed with white meat, and burned two big carps and radishes. Stir-fried and deep-fried, the autumn spinach is mixed with fermented bean sprouts, and the staple food is two rice and deep-fried oil cakes.

The four servants ate in the kitchen. The Qin family and the Jiang family plus Hei Doudou had a total of ten or so people. Generally, men and women ate at each table, separated by a small screen. Everyone ate at their own pace. Qin Tao ate at the men's table when he was older. Huzi and Lele ate at the women's table when they were young.

After eating, Xiao Hu put some delicious dishes in bowls and put them in the cupboard. You don't need to give this order to anyone. Qin Lang has a big appetite, and he is hungry in the middle of the night, so he warmed it up when he came over. .

Jiang Xin was called to speak in the courtyard of the Qin family.

Jiang Cunliang's face was as black as ink, and Jiang Zhen said angrily: "These sons of bitches are actually using Taoist temples to traffic women and children."

Jiang Xin frowned: "What's going on?"

Jiang Zhen explained: "In the Taoist priest's room, a ledger was found, which recorded how many women and children were arrested."

Qin Hua said with a sullen face: "For 20 consecutive years, more than 4000 female dolls and children have been arrested."

They all use the passages in the middle. This Yuanyang Taoist temple also sells Wushi powder and the so-called Shengziwan, so it is so rich, and the Taoist temple built is comparable to a royal temple.

Qin Lang rubbed the short knife in his hand, and said lightly: "I first interrogated the Taoist priest in charge. They seem to be a Taoist temple established and developed by Qianji Pavilion in the early years. In order to corrupt and win over the people, the biggest one on our Liaodong side is From Yuanyang to Taoist temples, there are different Taoist temples in other places, using some methods of curing diseases, praying for children, and praying for peace to attract believers and brainwash them."

Jiang Xin asked: "Will General Fang report it?"

Jiang Cunliang sighed: "It should be reported secretly, but this group of people has been taken away by the people brought by the prefect of Liaodong. It is hard to say whether they will confess later, and whether the evidence will be destroyed."

It seems that Qianji Pavilion has been in operation for 30 to [-] years, and the lurking is too deep. I am afraid that its tentacles have already extended to various places. No one knows whether Zhizhou and Qianji Pavilion in Liaodong are involved.

In the evening, Qin Lang was called away by General Fang overnight, and he sent a letter back not long after, saying that he had brought five hundred soldiers to the capital to deliver the letter.

Jiang Zhen and Jiang Cunliang also left overnight, came back for breakfast just after dawn, and there was no one else at the table, Jiang Zhen said with a sullen face: "Yesterday afternoon, the team that sent the letter to the capital was intercepted and killed near the city entrance officer in Liaodong. A group of people are cleaning up." , the result was seen by the caravan, and they ran away."

Jiang Xin shook his head and said, "It's really insane, are these people crazy?"

Jiang Cunliang sighed: "It will be a day later if the court finds out about it. Although it will be sooner or later, they will have time to cover up some things and hide some people later."

Jiang Xin nodded, thought for a while and said, "Daddy, are there any retired soldiers in the garrison? It doesn't matter if you are missing an arm, as long as you can be a normal guard. I want to hire some people to go to the compound and the sugar workshop. Be my bodyguard."

Jiang Cunliang nodded: "Of course I did. I'll ask later and find some good and experienced ones for you."

Jiang Xin hurriedly said: "The more the better, Dad, another inn here is about to open, and I plan to send some disabled retired soldiers to the inn over there."

Jiang Cunliang nodded: "Okay, there are a few scouts who are a little older and are about to retire. They are all residents of the local army station. They have participated in the war and are very alert. I think you will definitely be able to use them."

Jiang Xin felt better after hearing this.

Fourteen of the people Jiang Cunliang was looking for came three days later. Jiang Xin chatted with them one by one and asked about their personal situation. After checking, he sent six people to an inn, one of whom was an old scout. , his task is to inquire about the news, to see if there are any suspicious persons, and to report if there are any.

Jiang Xin's monthly payment was not low. In addition to the normal monthly payment from the inn, Jiang Xin also gave another one, five taels of silver a month, plus full board, lodging and clothing, and red envelopes and annual gifts at the end of the year.

A group of retired sergeants are somewhat disabled, but they can work normally. The two most serious are a little lame and one eyed. These are carefully selected by Jiang Cunliang.

The big guys are basically four, five, six, and the oldest one is a scout who is 55 years old. He is thin and thin, and he looks very inconspicuous. Hearing from Jiang Cunliang, he is quite capable. If Jiang Xin is not leaving, he They all plan to come back and do something for him.

With more people, Jiang Xin felt relieved. Both Jiang Zhen and Jiang Cunliang were centurions, and it was not a wartime. There were no large-scale drills at ordinary times. It was okay to come back every night, but if something happened, it would be easy to delay .
