"Yes, yes! My heart has never been at ease since this happened!" Shen Ying had a sad face.
Lu Tong's frown relaxed, "That's okay, just don't run around. Maybe you need to go to the county government to testify."
Shen Ying was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked her. .
Su Tai saw the right moment and said, "There is one more thing."
"What else?" Lu Tong frowned in displeasure.
Su Tai hurriedly explained: "That's right, the troupe said they also lost a child, named Xiao Twelve."
"Yes, yes! Our child was also lost, and we are also victims! " Qiu struggled excitedly.
Su Tai didn't even look at her, and continued: "The child actually escaped and followed me home, and now he is hiding in my house."
Everyone was surprised. shock.
Lu Tong was even more surprised, "Where is the person? Bring him here quickly for questioning."
Mrs. Qiu's face was ashen, and she could not say anything except staring at Su Tai angrily.
Xiao Twelve was escorted by Tang Yu to the village compound.
The child has been cleaned up and put on new clothes. He looks out of place with Chunqin and the others.
Lu Tong had a good impression of Tang Yu at just one glance, "Did you clean it up for him?"
Tang Yu nodded seriously and said, "This child followed Mrs. Shen home, but Mrs. Shen really had no extra energy and inconvenience to take care of four children, so she entrusted the child to me. Sir, when I was giving this child a bath, I found that he had many scars on his body, old and new. Apparently, he had suffered a lot. Beaten."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and took off Xiao Twelve's shirt in front of everyone.
Without the clothes to cover up, Xiao Twelve subconsciously hugged himself. His skinny body was really covered with scars, which was shocking. In some places, the wounds had not healed well, and there were signs of suppuration.
Lu Tong was so angry that his head was about to explode.
Tang Yu's eyes were red and he complained with indignation, "He is only eight years old, but he looks like a six-year-old child. He has little flesh and no good skin. Mrs. Shen couldn't help but shed tears when she saw it. , the original wound was even more oozing, but Mrs. Shen brought medicine to clean the child's wound, and now it doesn't look so shocking.
I asked him how he lived in the troupe, and he said. The class leader and his wife always take out their anger on them. If others are small, things will inevitably not be done well enough, so they become a tool for them to vent their anger
On weekdays, he was not given much food, and he was hungry every day, so he couldn't hold back when he saw so much food that day. He wanted to have a full meal, but when he was full, he was told that he was dead.
The child was so frightened that he had to run away in order to survive. "
When the villagers heard this, they all started crying and cursed Rong Laosi and Qiu.
"We are also going to the county seat. I can't eat without seeing their end with my own eyes. Got it! "
"Yes! We want justice for those poor children! ”
Facing the angry people, Lu Tong did not dare to force himself. In addition, he also hated Rong Laosi very much, so he nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Shen Wen's wife Qi Yan rushed out and stared at Xiao Twelve without blinking.
Ms. Xu stepped forward worriedly, "Yanzi, what's wrong?"
Qi Yan pointed at a big red spot on Xiao Twelve's waist with trembling fingers, "Mom, what is that? "
Xiao Twelve looked puzzled. He touched the red spot subconsciously and said weakly: "There is nothing. This is not an injury. It has always been there. "
Qi Yan's eyes brightened even more. She came to her senses and knelt down towards Lu Tong, "Sir, a child was lost in Mr. Pu's house in Dahe Town. He had reported it to the government before. The child had a big red spot on his waist. He was old. That’s right. Can you tell Mr. Pu to come and have a look?”
Lu Tong of the Pu family in Dahe Town still knows about it. He is the richest man in Dahe Town. If this child is really from the Pu family, it will be a big deal for him. It's a great thing.
Lu Tong immediately ordered people to cross the river to find the Pu family. Then he asked about Qi Yan’s details.
Qi Yan did not dare to hide anything and said truthfully: "My father is the master of the Pu family's dyeing shop, and I can speak well in front of Master Pu. Master Pu also takes good care of my natal family. , when the Pu family lost their child, my father was still worried about it and was depressed for a long time, so the young woman would know more about the situation.”
Lu Tong nodded clearly.
Almost more than an hour passed.
The official came in a hurry with a group of people.
As soon as Mrs. Yu entered the courtyard, she looked around, and when she saw Qi Yan, she immediately rushed over, "Yanzi, where is the child? Where is the child?"
Qi Yan hurriedly pointed at Tang, who was close to him. Yu’s Xiao Twelve, “Madam, that’s him.”
Mrs. Yu suddenly turned her head, looked at Xiao Twelve's face carefully, and staggered over, "Can I see your birthmark?"
In Tang Yu's encouraging eyes, Xiao Shi Er took off his clothes obediently.
Yu's hand carefully touched the birthmark. From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Xiao Twelve's injuries. She cried twice and fainted.
Master Pu and Uncle Qi also rushed over.
Mr. Pu looked at his wife and his children for a while and didn’t know what to do.
Uncle Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Master, apart from the birthmark on his waist, is there anything special about the young master?"
Master Pu thought about it carefully and said, "I remember that there are two moles on the child's thigh. "
Uncle Qi stepped forward and asked Xiao Twelve carefully, "Can you take off your pants and show me to uncle?"
Lu Tong asked very understandingly. They went to the side room to check on Xiao Twelve.
Ms. Yu, who was woken up by Mr. Pu's pinch, struggled to follow him to take a look.
The family entered the wing, and everyone in the courtyard was nervously waiting for the news, not daring to take a breath.
After a while, Mrs. Yu came out holding Xiao Twelve tightly, and knelt down to Lu Tong and others with tears in her eyes, "Sir, this is the little son I lost, you can't be wrong!"
Master Pu was supported by Uncle Qi and knelt down, "Master Lu, please accept my bow!"
Everyone in the Pu family kowtowed to Lu Tong.
Lu Tong felt a little guilty, and quickly asked someone to help them up, and then explained what happened in detail, "If you want to thank, just thank Mrs. Shen and Mr. Tang. They were the ones who took in Xiao Twelve, and they were also the ones who took in Xiao Twelve. Treat Xiao Twelve’s injuries and seek justice for him.”
Master Pu and Mrs. Yu immediately turned around and knelt down in front of Su Tai and Tang Yu.
They were so frightened that they jumped up together, one to the left and the other to the right, jumping higher than a rabbit.
The villagers were amused and laughed.
Lu Tong also couldn't help laughing.
"Okay! It's a happy event that Xiao Twelve can find his parents, but the crimes committed by Rong Laosi and the others need to be carefully examined. It's getting late, let's leave first."
Lu Tong led an official and escorted Rong Laosi and others into the car.
When Mr. Pu saw Mr. Rong and his wife, there was a flash of killing intent in his eyes.
Rong Laosi and Qiu were too scared to look at anyone. They knew it was over when Xiao Twelve was recognized by the Pu family.
As soon as the official left, Shen Ying started preparing ox and donkey carts to go to the county seat. (End of this chapter)
