Chapter 268 Risk it all
Shen Ying explained: "She still has four children to take care of, so she can't keep running away. It was good to come over to help last night."
"Then That's true!" Seeing that there was no trouble in the village, Liu Tiechui turned around and asked about the child.
It happened that Shen Laizi and the others had just returned with their children, so they hurried over to reply.
In front of the town official, Shen Laizi cried until he died, "Sir! You have to make the decision for the common people! Our children have never suffered such a serious crime since they were young. They were originally fine. The skin is all covered with bites, and she is still feverish and lethargic. I am just such a precious girl! If anything happened to her, I would not be able to live anymore."
The others were similar to Shen Laizi, crying and cursing Rong Laosi and Qiu, and the emotional one kept shouting that they wanted to hack Rong Laosi and Qiu to death.
Liu Tiechui’s people tried hard to stop him.
Shen Ying and Liu Guangyao also tried their best to persuade them before stopping them.
Chunxiang was silently listening to what was going on outside in the room, with tears streaming down her face. She was inexplicably envious of the rescued children. It would be great if she also had a family who loved her! Unfortunately, same people have different fates.
She shook her head with a wry smile. Even if she couldn't hear the movement outside, she didn't dare to go out, for fear of being offended by the angry villagers.
On the third day, Lu Tong finally entered the village with a group of officials.
After receiving the news, Su Tai hurried out to meet.
After Lu Tong learned her identity, his expression softened a lot. He just nodded to her slightly and turned his attention to Liu Tiechui, "What is the situation now?"
Liu Tiechui thought of Rong Laosi's arrogant and domineering appearance yesterday, and his face instantly darkened, "He is a scoundrel, fearless, and he threatened me, saying that his brother-in-law is the owner of a big gambling house in the county. Mr. Lu, what do you think?" "
Lu Tong sneered and raised his lips, "A big gambling house in the county? It's just a mob! "
When Rong Laosi and Qiu were brought in front of Lu Tong, they were still talking dirty words.
Lu Tong was so angry that he smashed the tea cup at Rong Laosi's head, and he finally calmed down.
“Rong Laosi, let me ask you, do you admit that you stole the villagers’ children?”
Facing Lu Tong’s serious face, Rong Laosi began to cry out, “Sir, It’s unfair! How could the grassroots do such illegal things just to earn a living with the troupe? If I really had the ability, I wouldn’t be able to live such a hard life!”
“ "Hard work? As far as I know, you often go to other places to kidnap local children and give them to brothel madams for training, right?" Lu Tong immediately exposed Rong Laosi's secret. .
Rong Laosi felt guilty, but he still argued hard.
Lu Tong shook his head, "Those actors under you have already confessed, even when and where you stole the child. According to the law of Langya Kingdom, unless the biological parents sell their children, Or children sell themselves voluntarily, otherwise they cannot force others to do so. You use illegal means to force them to submit. Now they accuse you of committing evil acts. "
"I, I, I didn't! I didn't! They did it voluntarily! And if we hadn't selected them, they would have been in the brothel long ago. They should be grateful to us!" Rong Laosi said so righteously. Bai Di scolded Chunqin and the others as white-eyed wolves.
Chunxiang, who was under guard in the yard, looked a little pale. Faced with the encouragement from the villagers, she could only smile bitterly, "The class leader is right about this. We were taken out of the brothel by them. Nothing happened before. I remember." "Chunxiang! Just because you are forgetful doesn't mean that we are forgetful!" Chunqin and others hurried over and knelt in the yard and shouted: "Sir, I remember that I was playing with quilts in the village when I was four years old. I was taken away by people in a coma. I can’t remember the situation in my hometown, but I remember the jujube trees. There are many jujube trees in our village.”
Liu Tiechui muttered: "Master Lu, it seems that only Qilian County in the northeast of Lizhou grows jujube trees. It seems that the girl's family is in Qilian County."
Lu Tong was convinced.
Dongri also said loudly: "The grass-roots people were abducted and trafficked when they were young, but in my memory, my parents regarded me as a treasure. The family conditions were quite good. I often ate meat when I was a child. The grass-roots people didn't think that my father was a treasure. My mother took the initiative to sell me. I must have been abducted by human traffickers."
"And us."
Others rushed to tell their origins and tried their best to prove that they were abducted. , not sold by family members.
Teacher Rong and Mrs. Qiu's faces turned pale inch by inch, and they could only grit their teeth and say, "Even so, it has nothing to do with us. We redeemed them from the brothel."
Chunqin retorted excitedly, "Bah! You and the brothel's madam are in the same group. If we no longer have any use value, we will be sent back to the brothel to pick up customers, or we will be beaten to death by you. You two are so heartless that you will be punished sooner or later. !”
Chunqin was prepared to risk everything from the moment she came out to testify.
"What? Have they beaten anyone to death?" He was so shocked that his face turned pale and he was shaking.
Ms. Xu on the side quickly supported her.
Chunqin said firmly: "As far as I know, they killed six actors, all three years ago. One of them was beaten to death because he was forced to lose his innocence by Rong Laosi, and was jealous of Qiu. The other two were caught sneaking away and were killed alive by them.
The other three were younger and couldn't learn well. They also died when they were punished. They were demons, basically. Not a human being!"
"Chunqin! You bastard, wait until I turn around and skin you!" Qiu threatened and cursed angrily.
Chunqin was shocked and frightened, but also a little happy, "You all heard it! It was common for her to shout and kill, and this was true for people in the theater troupe, let alone the brothel, where every day There are girls who are unwilling to accept guests and are beaten to death, and there are also sick girls who are thrown into mass graves to die. It’s all the work of these beasts!”
Others may have the same illness and hug each other together! Cry loudly.
Lu Tong's purpose of coming here today was not so pure, but more for his own future plans. He didn't expect to hear so many appalling scandals, and he was so angry that he said, "Come here! Bring Rong Laosi and Qiu together." Catch him and punish him severely!
In addition, we sent people to raid the brothels and gambling houses, and put everyone under custody until I make a decision after interrogation."
Su Tai. He winked at Shen Ying.
Shen Ying hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully, saying: "Your Majesty loves the people like your own children, which is a blessing to our Zhaohua County! The grassroots people have a heartless request. I hope your Majesty can allow us to follow you to the county seat to wait for news. "
Su Tai stepped forward and echoed: "Mr. Lu, this matter happened because of our village. If our village hadn't performed a big show, so many children wouldn't have suffered, big guy. Although he doesn’t say it on the surface, he must be angry with us in his heart. The village chief also wants to do it himself so that he can give an explanation to other villages later.”
