When Suning returned to Dali Temple, he first packed up his things and called Han Zimo and Tao Hongyi.Tao Hongyi was originally a third-year student who entered the Ministry of Rites, but a few days ago he asked to be transferred to Dali Temple as the master bookkeeper to help record matters in the dossier.Although the letter of appointment has not yet come down, it is still a stable position, adding a good hand to Suning.

He cleaned up in such a hurry because he was planning to go directly to Hanmei Town to investigate the case.The emperor originally asked Jin Yiwei to arrest all the officials of Hanmei Town and bring them to Dali Temple for questioning, but it was very inconvenient to do so, and more than one child was missing in Hanmei Town, and all the evidence was stored in Hanmei Town, so it would be better to go directly .

And this Hanmei Town belongs to Haijiang County, it is located in the south of the capital, separated by two mountains, because of the heavy snow in winter, plum blossoms are often blooming inside and outside the town, so the name is so elegant.But also because it is between the two mountains, the transportation is inconvenient, and Haijiang County is a convenient place for merchants to pass, so fewer people go to Hanmei Town. As a result, Hanmei Town is poor in supplies and is not a rich place.

The county government office in Haijiang County is divided into three parts: county magistrate, county magistrate, and master book.Previously, according to the imperial order of the emperor, the Jinyi Guards went ahead quickly, so Suning asked these Jinyi Guards to lock up all the officials in a room after they arrived in Haijiang County to prevent them from destroying the evidence.

As for the three couples, their children have been missing since they were three or four years old, and it has been five or six years now. It is not practical to start with them, and they will be detained in Dali Temple for the time being.

As for the choice of the guards guarding the three couples, in view of what happened to Zhang Shiyuan last time, Suning was not at ease with the people in Dali Temple, so he used the Jin Yiwei who stayed in Dali Temple after Yu's family murder last time.Those people dressed up as Dali eunuchs have been integrated into the Dali Temple since the last extermination case, so they will not arouse suspicion.

This time I went to Hanmei Town, and I brought a few entourage guards and a special painter with me.Generally, when a child is missing, an artist is required to draw a picture of the child's appearance, and then find it by posting an inquiry.

Because this case is so important, the group will stay in Hanmei Town for a period of time, so they carry a lot of items together, so they can only choose to drive to Haijiang County in a horse-drawn carriage, which is much slower than Jinyiwei.

Fortunately, the weather was bright and clear, the road was flat and dry, and the carriage was running fast. It took half a day to arrive at the location of the county government in Haijiang County.

Standing in front of the door were several brocade guards with arms folded and swords in their hands. They were wearing purple flying fish robes and hats, very conspicuous.

Suning and his party got off the carriage, and let a guard find the inn to store those things for the time being.

"Where is everyone locked up?"

The leader of Jin Yiwei cupped his hands and said: "I tell you, all those involved in this matter will be locked up in the main hall of the county government office."

"Take us in."

"Yes, my lord."

Jinyiwei, ordered by the emperor, is not only clean and quick, but also very fast. At this moment, not only the county magistrate, county magistrate, chief bookkeeper, and arrester of Haijiang County, but also Lizheng of Hanmei Town and the family members involved have been arrested. Here comes.Many people are still wearing ordinary clothes at home because of their rest, and they were also very embarrassed when they were arrested.

Seeing Suning coming, Peng Wei, the county magistrate of Haijiang County, was wearing an official robe, his face was white and beardless, well-raised, and his face looked like he was dead. First, he jumped out and stared at Suning, saying: "This The official was once a prostitute, and was appointed by the court as a witness. My lord is the minister of Dali Temple, but now I don’t know why I am directly interrogated as a prisoner. This is not reasonable! If I sue the emperor, you The Minister of Dali Temple will also be punished."

Suning looked at Peng Wei's stern appearance, and walked up to the hall calmly and said, "When you are ordered to file a complaint, I came to Haijiang County this time to investigate the case of missing children and the frequent occurrence of bribery. The Holy Majesty has already An imperial decree was issued that all those related to the child's disappearance case would be imprisoned, and if they were found to be involved in the case, they would be punished by skinning.

You, the county magistrate of Haijiang County, didn't say whether it was related to the child's case, you just suppressed the case without investigating it, and Chang Cheng covered up the child's disappearance as a mob incident.It is already time to remove your black hat, Chang Cheng has now been put into prison by the Holy Majesty.What qualifications do you have now in front of me, saying that you want to report to the Holy Majesty. "

Suning deliberately described Chang Cheng's acceptance of bribes as being imprisoned in a big prison. When Peng Weiguang heard about the child's disappearance, he was paralyzed on the ground with a face like gold paper, and his heart was beating very fast.How could the emperor know about the disappearance of the child?Why didn't the people from the Criminal Ministry come down to investigate?Did something happen to the guy above?

Peng Wei didn't dare to think too much, and shrank back in fear.

Seeing that Peng Wei had calmed down, Su Ning didn't want to talk nonsense, so he patted the gavel and said, "So you are going to tell me plainly that the case of the missing child in Hanmei Town and the case of Chang Cheng's appeasement of the mob still have to be closed for a few more days. Find out by yourself? You don’t have to think about how to disclose this matter, the so-called if you want people to know, you have to do nothing.”

Some of the people in the hall were distressed, some were sweating, and some had erratic eyes. It can be said that they had different expressions and each had their own ghosts, but they all kept silent, and the atmosphere was immersed in a strange silence. .

Suning knocked on the table. The disappearance of this child can be traced back to ten years ago. That means that after the founding of the Communist Party of China, children disappeared one after another in Hanmei Town, but no one reported them.In the beginning, the large number of disappearances would bring a stain on political performance, but the same is true of child trafficking is a huge benefit. It is not ruled out that powerful people in Hanmei Town and Haijiang County will be lured or even bought by money.

"Aren't you going to say it?" Suning waited for a stick of incense, and seeing that there was no one who wanted to speak, he looked down coolly, and said casually: "Are you thinking of not blaming the public? Or do you think it's okay not to say anything?" .According to the law, officials other than their family members are guilty of concealing the case by not reporting it.

But wait for the next step to find out who is related to the child's disappearance or bribery.According to the law of this dynasty, if the number of kidnapped and trafficked children is more than ten, it is still a violation of the law.Bribing officials to cover up their duties is punishable by 30 years in prison, and severe cases beheaded.You decide whether to take the initiative to admit now that you have committed crimes and performed meritorious deeds, so as to protect your family from death, or go to hell together. "

Suning's beatings, from serious to light, let the people under him weigh it for themselves.

This time the emperor was furious, and there was only a few hours between the discovery and the strict investigation. None of the people below got any news, and they were caught off guard. All visible evidence was clearly stored and destroyed in the future, as long as it was really involved Related, this prison or capital crime is inevitable, so it is better to choose to admit the guilt and meritorious deeds.

After thinking about this clearly, a group of people began to huddle together and talk.

"My lord, I said, I said."

"There are more than a dozen children missing in Hanmei Town, but we have been investigating."

"Some of the missing children in Hanmei Town were mischievous and ran away from home, so it is very difficult to find out. Those unscrupulous people claim that the children ran away mischievously, and all of them are missing. It is not easy for us to investigate."

"Yes, yes."

Snapped!Suning patted the gavel heavily, pointed to the person below and said, "Who has been in office for the longest time? When did the child's disappearance occur? Explain everything after it appeared from the beginning to the end. I have found some evidence , if I find out that there are signs of lying, then don't mention the crime and meritorious deeds."

A slightly fat old man squeezed out from the crowd, kowtowed and said panickedly: "I am the director of Haijiang County, and I have worked here for 20 years. The child's disappearance occurred about ten years ago, when the county magistrate It’s not this one, it’s just that we did check at that time, but we still couldn’t find the child. It’s very difficult for us to find a little doll who is a few years old.

In the following five years, children disappeared one after another, but these children could not be found, so this case has been suppressed.Waiting for the county magistrate to be transferred to another county, the current county magistrate came, but this case has never been investigated.The old man spoke softly and warned the county magistrate to investigate the case, but they were all..."

"Old man Li, stop talking nonsense here, why didn't I investigate it! You have been investigating this case for five years and haven't found it out. How can I find it out in five years?" Peng Wei came out and shouted , interrupting old man Li's words.

"Who told you to talk?" Su Ning patted the table, looked at Peng Wei coldly, jumped out in such a hurry, it was not really a ghost.

Cold sweat broke out on Peng Wei's head, and Nuonuo retreated again, worrying why the man in the capital didn't come to help him, and also felt that Chang Cheng had been convicted, so the man in the capital might not be able to keep him.

"Master, keep talking!"

Old man Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The case was suppressed by Mr. Peng, saying that it will be investigated later. Compensate the parents of the missing children with some money, let them settle down, etc. Hanmei Town is originally a backwater , Some people can’t afford to have children after giving birth. Some people settled down after receiving the money. But some people still clamored for children, so there was a mob.”

"How much money was given, and who was it distributed?"

Under the hall, Li was sweating coldly. Before the master could say anything, he jumped out and kowtowed: "The villain is the leader of Hanmei Town, and the master gave each person ten taels of silver as compensation. Then, then, the villain It is true that some were deducted, but part of it was also distributed.”

The author has something to say: Check it out slowly, this matter involves a lot, because the temptation to abduct and sell children for profit is too great.Of course, the end result is that these human traffickers are all tortured~ Don't worry, you can grow fat.I have to prepare for an exam recently, so I can only say three thousand updates.
