Chapter 144 145.
The emperor said seriously: "What's the matter, let Ai Qing get up and talk about it." Ming Zhiyuan's kneeling really shocked him.

Although Ming Zhiyuan was kneeling, his upper body was straight.He said righteously: "Holy Majesty, please let me kneel down and say this. This is also my confession that it took me so long to discover the clues. Even at the beginning, it was the juniors who discovered it and became suspicious, and I began to notice it. "

"This is the dereliction of duty of my minister of Dali Temple." Ming Zhiyuan kowtowed straightly: "Please allow me to atone for my crime."

The emperor gradually frowned and straightened up.With Ming Zhiyuan's attitude, it is obvious that things are not simple.Therefore, he didn't insist on making Ming Zhiyuan get up, but first asked: "Did Ai Qing find something wrong?"

"Yes." Ming Zhiyuan put his head on the ground and didn't get up: "Your Majesty, please be mentally prepared."

Actually, seeing the emperor today was already a smooth sailing for Ming Zhiyuan.But he still didn't dare to take it lightly, and said concisely: "Dayu clearly stipulates that officials are not allowed to have sex with prostitutes, but I found that some people secretly searched for good-looking men and women, and specially provided hiding places for certain officials."

The stakes are high.The emperor knew that what Ming Zhiyuan was going to say was very important, but he didn't expect it to be so big.At this time, his face was so heavy that he could drip water: "Aiqing is serious?" When the water is clear, there will be no fish.Therefore, he turned a blind eye to some bad behaviors of some officials he valued.

It is different to build such a place specially.This is blatantly provoking the majesty of Da Yu's laws.

"Do you have evidence? Tell me in detail."

"The thing is like this. At first, the eldest daughter-in-law who had never passed the door first noticed the newly opened pet shop in the middle of the capital. At first, she only noticed that the cats there were strange. She went to investigate out of curiosity, and found that the place was full of light. Under the sun, there is actually the idea of ​​wanting to rob the boy."

Ming Zhiyuan told the emperor in detail what Wen Shu had discovered before, including the details of the clothes Jiang Shuyao was wearing when he was targeted.

Hearing the characteristics of Jiang Shuyao's appearance at that time, the emperor was faintly angry. "Coarse cloth clothes", "Eleven or Twelve", "boys", piles and pieces, all show that this matter is unusual.

"Coarse cloth clothes" shows that their target is the children of poor families.They actually dared to rob it openly. It was obvious that they had a backer and bullied others.

"Eleventh twelve" and "man", such a young age, what kind of person would attack a person who is only ten years old?What's more, it's still a boy.

However, Ming Zhiyuan added: "However, I feel that the supervisor has seen too many people, and he can tell that she is a girl at a glance, maybe it is."

However, the emperor's expression did not change much.At this point, it doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl.The most important thing is that he can hear that Ming Zhiyuan still has something to say later.

"Later, because they suspected that there was an illegal place there, the ministers began to investigate secretly. After all, although he had the guts to rob it openly, he couldn't. He robbed everything openly, right?"

"After this investigation, I found a casino." Ming Zhiyuan described in detail the atmosphere of that casino that faintly induced people to sell their daughters.The palm of the emperor holding the armrest of the seat trembled with anger.

"Ridiculous." The emperor slapped hard: "Da Yu has only been stable for a few years, and he started doing this kind of thing that makes his wife and family broken up. Does this mean that my Da Yu is not chaotic enough?"

Some people really lost their bets, lost their humanity, and just bet their children away.What happened to secretly leading people to sell their children?

"Your Majesty, calm down." Ming Zhiyuan was also very angry when he found out bit by bit.It's just that the emperor can't be too angry, after all, there will be more to come, if he gets sick from anger, Ming Zhiyuan can't afford it.

"I'm fine, Aiqing, let's go on."

"In the end, we found out that the girls who were mortgaged all went to that pet shop. The most important thing is that they stayed underground."

When searching for missing persons before, he never found it.Later, I changed my mind and inquired about many examples of children being mortgaged.However, after those people sold their daughter, they never saw her again, without exception.

So... "That is to say, I haven't seen any girl who was sold and then returned to the ground."

"In addition, following the clues, the minister and the others also discovered two other places."

"The other two places?" Is it possible that one is not enough, and a third place has been opened?

"It's different from this one, but it's similar." Knowing that the emperor might have misunderstood, Ming Zhiyuan shook his head and continued to explain: "It's the same situation, but the victims have changed."

The emperor immediately remembered the phrase "girls and sons" that Ming Zhiyuan had just started.

"That's right, the basement of that pet store is full of girls, but the most prestigious clothing store does that kind of thing openly, and it's all boys."

"Also, about the children. They seem to be curious about the world, and now they're being treated that way. And, on top of that, it seems like every time they send a child over, they choose a place for the child that day."

The emperor couldn't sit still.He stood up and pulled Ming Zhiyuan up himself: "Master Ming, if what you said is true, they really deserve death!"

Ming Zhiyuan nodded in line with the emperor's words, but still refused to get up: "Your Majesty, let me make amends."

The emperor pulled him up half-forcedly: "Aiqing, you are not wrong. It is the people behind who should feel indebted most."

"If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can send the Jinwu Guards to find out where the minister said." Ming Zhiyuan said a few place names.The emperor waved everyone away, and at this moment he could only do it himself: "I've made a note. Do you have any better suggestions, Ming Aiqing?"

Ming Zhiyuan shook his head: "Everything is up to the Holy One." He told the emperor that he only hoped that the Emperor would allow Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate this matter: "I also hope that the Holy One will allow Dali Temple to intervene in this matter."

Although the emperor said that he would let the Jinwu Guard check it out, he didn't say whether to let the Jinwu Guard investigate thoroughly, or hand everything over to Dali Temple at that time.

"Okay. I'm sure." The emperor turned around, put the hand with the jade finger behind him, and could hardly control the anger that rolled all over his body.

"The ministers and others consciously only discovered some superficial things. I hope that the Holy One can understand such things for those children."

To Ming Zhiyuan, those girls in the basement of the pet store have already suffered for countless days and nights.If she is sold to a rich family as a maid, or even sold to that kind of place, she still has a certain degree of autonomy after all.

But now, they are locked in a dark place and forced to suffer such uncomfortable things.
