Unparalleled Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 173 The tip of the iceberg

The old woman was struck by lightning when she heard the words, she was dumbfounded and froze in place.

Seeing her like this, Tong Cheng'er didn't understand anything, so she immediately said to Su Peisheng, "Tie her up and send her to the officer."

The old woman regained her senses when she heard the words, and hugged the child tightly: "This is my own granddaughter, why are you like this, you still can't snatch the child."

She was about to run as she said that, she was not young anymore, she was no match for well-trained casual guards, so she was naturally held down.

A guard took the child from the old woman's hand, Tong Cheng'er took the child, and then said: "Let's go, go to the Yamen."

The old woman was tied up, her face was ashen, and she wanted to beg for mercy, but when she begged for mercy, she confessed directly, so she had to keep silent.

The pedestrians around did not expect things to turn around so quickly. It was said that many people followed them, probably planning to go to the yamen to listen to the excitement.

Yinzhen watched Xiao Fujin's series of actions, but said nothing.

Yamen will arrive soon.

When I first arrived, the yamen servants at the gate of the yamen were a little confused when they saw so many people coming, but when they saw the leader, they had a good momentum, and their attitude became much better unconsciously when they spoke.

"I don't know what you are?"

Su Peisheng: "Report to the officer, this old woman is abducting and selling children."

When the yamen servant heard this, he immediately became more energetic.

In the law of natural survival, no matter what species, it attaches great importance to its cubs, and trafficking of cubs is unforgivable at any time.

Moreover, human beings value family inheritance, so naturally they hate it even more.

"Wait a minute, I'll report right away."

Yinzhen spoke at this time: "Wait a minute."

The yamen servant was taken aback when he heard the words, then looked at Yinzhen and said, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Yinzhen handed Su Peisheng a sign and said, "You go in with him."

Originally, he planned to leave after having some fun, but now he was at the gate of the yamen, without revealing his identity, asking him to kneel down and salute the county magistrate, this Yinzhen really couldn't do it.

After a while, several people came out, and the head of the county magistrate looked anxious.

After Su Peisheng came out, he stood behind Yinzhen and Tong Cheng'er. The county magistrate walked up to them and was about to kneel down to salute. Before he could speak, Yinzhen waved his hand and said, "Don't be too polite, just go in! "

The county magistrate wiped off his non-existent sweat, nodded and bowed: "Yes, please."

Yinzhen and his party went in first, followed by the county magistrate.

It was only then that the people who followed behind suddenly understood that the person who could make such a humble magistrate must have a lot of background, but he didn't know what his identity was.

Everyone who should go in has gone in, and the gate is closed.

After Yinzhen and Tong Cheng'er entered, the county magistrate ordered tea to be served, but Yinzhen was not in the mood to drink tea, and said directly: "Look at the old woman's skillful way of abducting children, it should not be the first time, hurry up and interrogate, Yes, the abducted child’s clothes are of good quality, and he must be a child from a rich family, go and find out who lost the child.”

The county magistrate nodded upon hearing the words: "Yes, my lord."

Because Su Peisheng had ordered in advance not to let the county magistrate reveal their identities, the county magistrate called Yinzhen "Master".

Yinzhen nodded: "Move faster."

They are still in a hurry!
The county magistrate immediately began to "move" after hearing the words.

Although the old woman was skilled at abducting people, she hadn't done any anti-trial training. There were many ways to interrogate people in the yamen, and none of them required torture. The county magistrate got a testimony.

And from this testimony, the identity of the girl who was abducted by her today has also come out.

Yinzhen read the testimony once, and after reading it, her face was ugly. Tong Cheng'er looked at him and took the testimony from him, and her face was not very good after reading it.

After a while, Tong Cheng'er said, "Let's stay for a few more days."

Yinzhen nodded: "Okay."

From the testimony of the old woman, it can be seen that there are people behind that person, but the people behind are more cautious. The old woman is just the one who abducted the child directly. She doesn't even know who she's working for.

But because the price of abducting a child is "high", she will do this.

Of course, there were not any clues in the testimony. The person who led her on this road was a distant nephew of hers.

But this nephew is basically invisible according to her.

And every time she abducts someone, someone is secretly watching. As for who is watching, she doesn't know.

After reading this testimony, Yinzhen and Tong Cheng'er both knew in their hearts that there must be an organization behind it to be able to do so meticulously. The organization must be large, and there must be a backer behind it.

Just don't know who it is.

The testimony said that the child abducted today was the daughter of the Cheng family, a wealthy businessman in Bo County.

Because the kidnapper understands that even if Miss Cheng is lost, the Cheng family will not notice much, and when the people in the Cheng family react, the clues will be gone long ago.

Naturally, the child was sent back to Cheng Mansion.

What's more interesting is that when the child was sent back, the people in Cheng's mansion knew that the eldest lady in the mansion had been abducted.

It can be seen the status of the young lady of the Cheng family.

However, this incident "blew up" the old lady in the mansion. After a lot of trouble, Miss Cheng was finally taken to her house by the old lady.

Of course, these are all later things.

Now that the child has just been sent back, Yinzhen and Tong Cheng'er are preparing to investigate this matter.

The people around Yinzhen were much stronger than the people in the county government. According to the clues provided in the testimony, they went to interrogate again, and then interrogated a lot of things, and then followed this clue and started to investigate.

Because of this matter, they could only stay here. On the third day in Bo County, they finally found out something, but it was this clue that made Yinzhen frown even more.

It turned out to be involved with the capital.

This is not very easy to do.

So Yinzhen could only write a memorial and send it to the capital.

He couldn't help being shocked just by gently lifting the tip of the iceberg, and if he went down, even if he was a prince, he couldn't help it.

Besides, he is not alone now, and if the investigation continues, who knows if something will happen, and he is also afraid that Xiao Fujin will be implicated.

After all, people are pushed into a hurry and can do anything.

On the fourth day in Bo County, they just set off from Bo County, but Tong Cheng'er couldn't help being silent a lot on the way.

She didn't know why she felt uncomfortable.

They stayed just once on the way, and after a few days, they arrived in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Master, Fujin, here we are."

Tong Cheng'er felt a little relieved after hearing the words: "It's finally here."

The carriage was furnished very comfortably, but the carriage was no more comfortable than the room.

Yinzhen pulled Xiao Fujin out of the carriage.

The carriage stopped in front of the Jiangnan characteristic garden.

Jiangnan always makes people can't help but think of words like misty rain, gentle and beautiful, and this is indeed the case, especially in the gardens of Jiangnan, which embodies the beauty and beauty.

Tong Cheng'er stepped into the garden, and the more she walked in, the more she liked it.

The mansions in the capital are also beautiful and exquisite, but the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River are another kind of unique beauty.

Yinzhen could see that she liked it very much, and felt happy in her heart.

"Like it?"

Tong Cheng'er nodded: "I like it."

What Yinzhen thought after hearing the words was that in the future, he could build a courtyard with Jiangnan characteristics in the Zhuangzi in the capital, and the two of them could go to live for a while from time to time in the future.
