Gongqing bone

Chapter 9 "Gossip at the Guest Window"

It wasn't until half a month later in Malt Village that everyone felt something was wrong:

Ordinarily, from Baoding to Yanjiao, how to go back and forth, [-] days is enough, so why did it take so long?

Some people began to wonder if they were delayed by something on the road?
So after another five days, someone finally came to his senses, could it be that Niu Yuegui came to shoot Hanako!
With her appearance, the village chief was taken aback. Her dilapidated house is far from worth that much money!
And she just made some small favors, and took away all the beautiful girls in the village!No, they were all kidnapped!
Thinking about the future fate of those girls, it would be a good idea to be sold as daughter-in-law, but I am afraid that they will be sold to some dirty place...

Thinking of this, Aunt Liu suddenly realized that it would be nice if Niu Yuegui didn't hate herself, why would she let her daughter be her daughter-in-law!

So he cried and wiped away his tears again, scolded Niu Yuegui as "God damn it", and then went to the government to report the case with other women in the village.

When I got to the government, I was dumbfounded. Is the government's case handling efficiency so high?
Aren't those dozen or so dusty girls his own children?And the one kneeling on the ground is Niu Yuegui;

I don't know the other men, judging by their demeanor and attire, they don't match up with the "rich man" at all, and I don't know which one is her concubine.

"Niu Yuegui, I'll kill you!" Liu Axiang was the first to rush forward, and with a gesture from the official, the yamen servant stopped her.

"Okay, auntie, it's all right, take the children home, they must have been frightened these few days." The yamen servant said kindly.

"Thank you, Mr. Qingtian!" Half of the people in the courtroom knelt down in a mighty manner. This time, it was from the bottom of their hearts. They had never felt that the government was in charge of things like this.

***
Ten days was enough for the round trip from Yanjiao to Baoding, and it was enough for Niu Yuegui and his group to transfer the girls to find a good buyer.

As soon as the price is negotiated and delivered, they disappear into the crowd and the girls are sold all over the world without anyone catching them, as it has done before.

But this time, when they were dealing with the previous family, the officials were like magic soldiers, and they came and wiped them all out.

When Du Heng was still Lin Zhijun, he discovered that the method used by these traffickers to abduct and sell the children of poor families was nothing more than "returning to the hometown".

But Qin Guogong's little granddaughter, whose status can be seen from her clothes, is not low. She has an outstanding appearance and a red mole between her eyebrows. With such obvious characteristics, she is not an easy target for traffickers.

Moreover, she lost a left foot. After reading "Gossip at the Guest Window", Du Heng suddenly remembered a story in it. Could it be that the little granddaughter of Duke Qin was "killed and eaten, and her bones were burned into pills"? ?
That little girl looks like a boy under Guanyin's seat, maybe she is a cruel buyer who listens to demons and takes children's flesh and blood for food?

But she was released alive, and her clothes were still the same at that time.

As far as Du Heng knew, the county where the little girl was found was not closely tracked down, and even the capital was jittery for a few days.

At that time, Du Heng had a very terrible idea in his mind.

Even if it is human trafficking, it has its own huge network of relationships, offline and offline, because it is not visible, but it is more implicated, and one can catch one.

If it can be broken a little bit, sooner or later the matter of Qin Guogong's little granddaughter will be revealed!
So Du Heng suggested to Du Shengping to send more officials to pay attention to the movement in the village, especially the good thing that the pies in the sky will take away women and children;

Finally, the hard work of more than a month was not in vain, and a clue was pulled out!
And Du Heng told Du Shengping, more tactfully told Qin Guogong:

This time, there is a high possibility that there is an inner ghost in the government.

Qin Guogong needs to pay special attention to those maids, wives, and servants who have not been in the mansion for a long time, and they resigned not long after the granddaughter was lost. He or she may have been lurking in the inner house several months ago.

At this point, Du Shengping's position as Minister of Dali Temple is considered safe, and Du Shengping seems to have gotten to know his youngest daughter well.

In the end, Du Heng made a request that he and Qin Guogong recommend Wu Youdong, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple who was his colleague, to be the inspector and inspector.

Du Shengping's subconscious reaction was to frown.

Du Heng understands what he thinks in his heart, Dali Siqing is only a third rank, he recommends his future subordinates to continue to be equal to him as an official?It is a lie to say that there is no fire.

Du Heng reassured him that Beijing officials and foreign officials are of the same rank. This not only sent Wu Youdong far away, but also replaced him with a subordinate who obeyed his own words and did not fight against him, and also showed that he, a colleague, had a big heart, didn't he?
Du Shengping naturally knew this truth, and he quickly realized that this trick was really clever. He just felt that this daughter was thinking too far.

When Du Heng did this, he also had his own deeper plans in it:

It is one thing to help the little girl of Duke Qin's family, and another is to improve her voice in front of Du Shengping. Her road to revenge cannot always be confined to the inner house;
She did this to get closer to the Sheng family.

She will ask Du Shengping to establish a good relationship with the General Secretary and General Political Envoy. With the level of in-laws, she will push Sheng Ruchi, and she will indirectly help my little aunt;
Moreover, the Tongzheng envoy is in charge of accepting internal and external chapters and memorials to seal and refute matters. For all matters such as petitions from all sides, complaints of grievances, or accusations of wrongdoing, etc., the reasons for the complaints are transcribed in the bottom book. effect.

I can't see the memorials from Jinyiwei, Lijian, and the cabinet;
But on the side of the Tongzheng envoy, there are complaints from the common people, which is less difficult, and there may be some clues.

And relying on Wu Youdong's ability, it will only be more convenient for him to flex his muscles in the local area;
Staying in the capital and intrigue all day should not be his destination.

***
"Miss, don't stay at home, let's go see the beheading!" Jing Se said excitedly.

Du Heng's heart skipped a beat when he heard the word "beheading", and asked nonchalantly, "What's so interesting about this, aren't you afraid?"

"The ones who were beheaded were all criminals, and the sage approved it without hesitation. Wouldn't it be very satisfying!"

Du Heng's hand holding the book couldn't help but clenched tightly, what a heinous crime, the Lin family died so quickly, they ended up with these people.

She really wanted to ask Jingse, ask the world, were they also so happy when the Lin family ransacked all the families?

The hatred in his heart was so painful that he bled, so Du Heng finally went to the execution ground.

***
"Hey, did you hear that the last woman went to her mother's village to take pictures of flowers, and you said it was disgusting! But I heard that she was also sold in her early years, and she was changed hands several times! "

"This is called 'poor people must have something to hate'. She has abducted a lot of girls and children over the years! She must be condemned by God!"

……

Du Heng listened to the discussion of the bustling crowd, and accidentally learned that a noble concubine of Duke Qin's son had an affair with a servant, and was sold to a kiln by the mistress;

The concubine's daughter is only one or two years younger than the concubine's daughter who was just found back. The aunt was dismissed, and she was not dedicated to being served by servants. She broke her leg walking at night, and the doctor didn't know if the treatment was not timely. How could he carelessly connect the wrong bone, and he would be a cripple in the future.

At the beginning, the matter of this noble concubine caused a lot of limelight. This noble concubine was born in a low-class family, and she was a noble lady in a brothel.

The Duke of Qin's son was bewildered at the first sight of her, and he wanted to carry her into the mansion regardless of her family's objections;
And with such a lowly status, she was finally promoted to a noble concubine.

How much everyone laughed at Mrs. Shizi at that time, and how much everyone teases Mrs. Qin Guogong now, leaving the beautiful and charming lady behind, and going to a brothel to find someone. In the end, she was put on a cuckold and turned into a bastard.

Du Heng thought to himself, Mrs. Shizi is really decisive, so she chose the worst excuse;

But it is expected that Qin Guogong and his wife would not dare to have any objections, this is all the sin of Qin Guogong's son himself.

Before seeing the execution, Du Heng said that she was tired and went back to the mansion by herself. It was really difficult for her to watch this carnival with her head dropped, regardless of whether the things they celebrated were upright or not.
