Majia Town.

An ordinary small town.

The town got its name because everyone in it has the surname Ma.

Because the imperial court's tax collection was severe this year and there was a drought, this place is extremely rich.

When the carriage entered the town, many people stared at them.

It was not until the carriage stopped at the gate of the county government office that two men of extraordinary bearing came down from the gate.

The people guessed that he must be some important figure.

He Wenshang first took the disciple token and task list of the Wangsheng Sect to find the county magistrate to understand the case.

Young girls have been missing from this area since last month.

It was a young girl between eight and twelve years old, but the one who went missing last night was an eleven-year-old boy.

The crime was committed at night.

The county government has already sent extra personnel to patrol at night, especially to protect families with children.

But no one knew where those people came from, and it was impossible to guard against them at all. Those who were supposed to disappear would still disappear, and no trace of them could be found.

Many families with children have now moved out of Majia Village to avoid the limelight.

The county government had no choice but to invite the children and their mothers to stay at the county government office for easier protection.

But a child was still missing last night.

At night, He Wenshang was guarding the county government office.

Jiang Que was leaning against the beam and sleeping.

It was not until midnight that a burst of incense suddenly wafted over. He Wenshang, who had been full of energy, began to doze off, but he still kept his eyes open in a daze.

The kitten let out a pitiful cry. Jiang Que, who was lying on the beam, looked down and saw one of the little girls was curious. She followed the sound of the cat's cry and finally stood by the well. Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out, covered the little girl's mouth and pulled her down.

Jiang Que flew over and saw that the water below was just an ordinary well with water shining inside.

When the fragrance faded and everyone regained consciousness, they discovered that a child was missing.

The mother of the missing child fell to the ground and cried heartbreakingly.

He Wenshang just felt a little sleepy, and his eyelids were drooping, but he clearly remembered that he was not asleep. But in just a moment, a child disappeared.

He Wenshang took the sword and went out, only to see Jiang Que standing by the well studying it.

He Wenshang probably knew what he should see.

He is familiar with the agency.

He Wenshang asked the yamen runner for some candles and went down to check.

The rope was tied around He Wenshang's waist, and several yamen runners pulled it with gritted teeth.

The edge of the well was damp. He Wenshang lit a candle and studied it for a while. He pressed a spot on the well and stones gradually rose up on both sides of the well to form a simple ladder. The well, which was originally filled with water, was suddenly drained by something.

An extremely narrow and deep cave entrance was revealed.

It looks like only a child of a few years old can crawl into it.

He Wenshang is an adult man, and everyone has this kind of leniency.

He Wenshang went up first and shook his head. He guessed that the other party must be an expert in bone shrinking, so he could carry the child in and out so easily.

And almost every family has such a well.

It’s just that there was a drought some time ago, so the water level in the well didn’t increase much. During this period, the water level in the well suddenly increased a lot.

It was probably because the other party built a mechanism to hide the entrance of the cave and brought water in from somewhere else.

But the entrance to the cave was too small, and all those present were adults, so no one could go in, unless there were children. But if a child went in, he would just be killed.

Jiang Que took out a pack of explosives and planned to blow up the entrance of the cave.

Before He Wenshang could object, Jiang Que directly lit the bomb and threw it accurately into the hole, causing the well to explode.

There was a strong smell of gunpowder that lasted for a long time. After the entrance of the cave was blown open, there was a wide cave inside.

Several yamen runners went down with them and walked deeper into a damp cave, where they saw a dishevelled little girl using her bone-shrinking skills to run towards another well.

He Wenshang drew out the sword in his hand and stabbed it. The sharp sword directly pierced the little girl's shoulder and nailed her to the wet mud wall.

There was also a wooden barrel in the deep cave, with unknown water in the barrel, and the little girl she had just caught was soaking in it.

Fortunately, we arrived in time before the little girl was soaked in the soup.
