After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 99 Human Traffickers

Don't underestimate these little beggars, because they walk around the streets and beg everywhere, so they have seen many people and seen many things.

"No."

A younger boy squinted his eyes and said, "I've seen two of them. They are the town I entered the day before it snowed heavily."

Lu Daxiong stared, and he just wanted to try his luck, but he didn't expect it to happen.

"What kind of people? Do you know where they end up?"

The boy sucked his nose, twirled his fingers, then touched his stomach and said, "I haven't eaten today."

Lu Daxiong smiled slightly: "I saw you when I was clearing the snow before, and you took two cornbreads in a hurry, how many did you hide?"

The boy's complexion was not good, but he didn't feel guilty: "I brought it for my younger brothers and sisters. They are too young to work."

Lu Daxiong looked away, and noticed a few children of about four or five.

"This is ten copper coins. You can ask people to go shopping and eat first. If what you say is true and effective, you can come to the inspection department to find me, and I will give you another reward."

The boy was overjoyed, as long as he had the money to take it, he could talk about anything!
Besides, the person in front of him is Lord Inspectorate, no matter how mischievous he is, he will not dare to deceive His Excellency.

Although he had a bad life, he still didn't want to die!

According to the clues provided by the little beggar, Lu Daxiong went all the way to a bun shop on the street.

There was a small alley next to the steamed stuffed bun shop. According to the little beggar, those two people drove a carriage into that alley, but he didn't know exactly which house they entered.

Such clues are already obvious.

Lu Daxiong called Lu Xingwang, and the two chatted while walking.

Those who do business in the town basically know these two.

"Hey, inspector Lu is here, are you late for patrolling the streets today?"

"Hmm, I have some official business to deal with. Is there nothing going on recently?"

"No, the business is still going well. Would you like a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

Lu Daxiong shook his head and led Lu Xingwang forward.

After walking a few steps, we arrived at the steamed stuffed bun shop.

Lu Daxiong does not patrol the streets every day, but as long as he is not busy, he will definitely hang around on the streets, and he does not accept gifts or protection fees. As time goes by, small businessmen are more than happy for him to go out for a walk , but also help deter the bullies in the town.

"Hey, Inspector Lu is out to patrol the streets! Freshly baked meat buns, how about some?"

Lu Daxiong glanced at Lu Xingwang, and said coldly, "Is there any hot soup?"

"Yes, yes, there is freshly boiled mutton soup today, you two have a try?"

"Okay, I happen to be hungry too."

The two sat at the table closest to the stove, and then ordered six big buns and two bowls of mutton soup.

Lu Xingwang felt a little greedy when he smelled the scent. He knew that Lu Daxiong had a business to do, so he was only responsible for being a foil.

"Inspector Lu, this is hot soup, be careful, both of you."

Lu Daxiong nodded, picked up a bun and took a bite.

"That's right, your steamed stuffed bun is quite filling."

The boss laughed and said, "This steamed stuffed bun shop has been opened since my father's generation. It's all the old neighbors who take care of the business. How can I earn those black-hearted money!"

Lu Daxiong gave a rare smile: "You have a good idea. The taste of this mutton soup is also quite good. Is this the secret recipe passed down from the ancestors?"

The boss smiled even more happily, "That's not true, my mother-in-law figured it out on her own. If Xunjian Lu drinks well, he will come here often in the future!"

Lu Daxiong nodded, seemingly unintentionally said: "How many buns does your family steam every day? Can they be sold out every day?"

"Yes, they are almost sold out every day. If there is a lot of leftovers at the end of the day, I will sell them cheaper. Sometimes I will carry the burden to sell them farther away. But these days, I don't have any buns left, and I sell them every day. .”

Lu Daxiong frowned slightly, "Really? Is that a new customer?"

"That's not true! It's Blind Song who comes here every day to buy steamed stuffed buns, and every time he buys them, they're packed in a basket!"

Good guy!
There are many buns in this drawer!
Even a man like Lu Xingwang would need seven or eight people to finish his meal.

Lu Daxiong knew this Blind Song. Although he was called blind, he was not really blind. It was just that there was something wrong with his eyes, his eyes were squinted, and he couldn't see the other person's face clearly when he was three feet away. Girl, that's why I got such a nickname.

Although the Song blind man has eye disease, he has a good handicraft, and the woodcarving is amazing!

Because of this craftsmanship, life is not difficult.

"Blind Song's family has someone to import?"

"Oh, I heard that a relative came to the house and wanted to learn woodcarving from him. I have been here for a long time, and this person came here before it snowed."

"Well, Blind Song's craftsmanship is good, but don't those craftsmen say they are apprentices of the church, and the master is starving to death. He is really willing to teach now that he is young?"

The boss shook his head: "I don't know what he was thinking. But I have seen a small apprentice twice. He is not very old, maybe seventeen or eighteen. He has a pretty face and has come here to get buns a few times. Like the kind of ungrateful person."

An old man on the table next to him said: "Can you tell if you are ungrateful? There is a way of saying that people should not judge by appearances. You may not be able to believe what you see!"

The boss choked for a moment, then smiled and said: "What you said is that my eyelids are shallow."

"By the way, I remember Song Xiazi is in the second house, right? I seem to have seen him when I went to Mrs. Wang's house last time."

"Inspector Lu, your memory is wrong this time. His house is the third one from the outside, and the door opens to the west."

Lu Daxiong knew what he wanted to inquire about, and said with a smile: "There have been too many things recently, and I have mixed up my memory."

"Haha, you are a very busy person. But the matter of clearing the snow this time is thanks to you. If you hadn't called on the big guys to work hard to clear the snow, the business of our steamed stuffed bun shop would not be so good now. It has snowed so much , that is to say, our town clears the snow the fastest, and the roads in all villages are also cleared. Only when the villagers can come out, can someone buy my buns."

After chatting with him for a few more words, Lu Daxiong took Lu Xingwang away.

At night, Lu Daxiong quietly approached Song Xiazi's house again.

The walls of Song Xiazi's house were not high, so Lu Daxiong went in without any trouble.

Sure enough, there was a carriage in the yard, but no horse was seen. There was a light in a room, and it seemed that there were still people talking in a low voice.

Lu Daxiong approached carefully, groping in the dark, preferring to be slow, and absolutely not to startle the snake.

After finally dawdling under the window, Lu Daxiong finally heard the conversation of the people in the room.

"Boss, we are also unlucky this time. The road is blocked by heavy snow. I have inquired about it. Right now, only Qingshui Town and the villages are accessible, and other places are not at all. Shall we go back to the county seat again? "
