The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 91 Does it look familiar? (two more)
"Why did you see him running away? And why didn't you go in to attend the class?" Su Tang slowed down his tone as much as possible to make himself look softer.

The little boy looked at Su Tang with stubborn eyes and didn't speak, and kept struggling, trying to get out of Wang Dong's control.

"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you." Seeing him like this, Su Tang continued.

After struggling for a long time, he couldn't break free, so he simply gave up. The first thing the little boy said when he looked at Su Tang was, "I've seen you."

"Oh? Where have you seen me?"

"On the day when Princess Huang's carriage was taken to the street, a man hugged you, and they all said that you were the daughter of destiny."

"." Su Tang was quite speechless, wandering around the city by himself, how could he remember that time alone, "Since you were there that day, you should know that I am not a bad person, can you tell me what happened now?"

After being asked by Su Tang, the child stopped talking again. Su Tang looked at him and happened to see a few bright silk threads protruding from his arms.

The silk thread looks like a high-quality material, it should not appear on such a child, Su Tang wanted to go up and take it out.

"Don't touch me." The little boy seemed to be grabbed by someone's lifeblood, struggling desperately. The small size almost made Wang Dong let go.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Su Tang pulled out the silk thread. It was the tassels on a purse, and the purse was made of high-quality brocade.

Lifting the purse in front of him, Su Tang asked, "Where did this come from?"

"I picked it up." The little boy was quite unconvinced and snorted coldly.

"If you don't tell the truth, then I will have to send you to the officer, and then I will check to see if you picked up this purse." Su Tang observed his dodging eyes, the child was obviously lying.

"Don't send me to see the officer." Hearing these words, a trace of panic appeared on the stubborn face of the little boy.

"Why can't I send you to see the official." Su Tang said to Wang Dong, "Send him to the government office."

"Don't, don't, I really can't go to see the official. There are still many people waiting for me to eat. If there is no me, they will starve to death." The little boy panicked and said quickly.

He knew that if he saw the official, he would not be able to come back.

"Stop lying, you're a child, you're skinny and hungry, who would count on you to support you?" Yingyue pouted at the side, obviously not believing what he said.

"Really, what I said is true." The little boy said it seriously, and it didn't look like he was lying.

"Take us to see those who need you to raise a child, otherwise we will report to the police." Su Tang frowned slightly, always feeling that things were not that simple.

"Then you swear, no matter what, you will never report to the police to arrest us." The little boy looked at them vigilantly.

"Okay, as long as you are not a murderous, treacherous and evil person, I swear in the name of the daughter of destiny that I will never report to the police to arrest you."

Su Tang and the others followed behind him and walked into a small alley near the city wall. The place was almost deserted, dirty and messy, and some houses had collapsed.

"Yanyang City has few people, and the common people gather in the city. There are many empty alleys near the edge of the city wall." Wang Dong said as he walked.

"No one?" The little boy walking in front taunted, and casually pushed open a door next to him, "You said no one just because you didn't see it."

Su Tang looked at the scene through the courtyard door, his eyelids twitched, Wang Dong and Yingyue were almost startled.

Through a small courtyard, you can directly see the situation in the middle lobby. Most of the people inside are children, the older ones are in their teens, the younger ones are only three or four years old, and there are a few adults. Sitting or lying on the dry grass, there was a dead atmosphere.

"Brother Shitou, come back." A three or four-year-old girl ran out of the house when she heard the door opening. When she saw Su Tang and the others, she quickly shut up and dared not make a sound.

It was only when they walked in that they could see clearly that most of these people were disabled, missing arms or legs, or deaf and dumb, and there were few healthy people. Seeing this scene, Su Tang felt a surge of blood rushing to his head, buzzing.

"Village Master, these people's injuries don't seem to be natural. Like this kind of missing arms and legs, ten people can't survive with this kind of injury. How can there be so many here? And most of them are children." Wang Dong looked Seeing the scene in front of him, he felt that his voice was trembling.

"One of the twenty can always survive, and two can survive if one can survive. What's so strange about so many people?" Shi Shi, who brought them back, said calmly, as if he had long been accustomed to this situation.

"Brother Shitou, I'm hungry." The little girl just now timidly hid in the corner and spoke to Shishi.

Stone rubbed her head, "I didn't bring anything to eat when I came back this time, so bear with me for a while, and I'll go out and buy it for you later."

"Can you feed so many people by yourself?" Su Tang observed those people, sitting on the hay, looking lifeless and silent.

It seems that he has become numb to this kind of life and his own appearance.

"There are still a few friends who steal something outside, or beg for food, and come back for some food. After all, they will never die of hunger." Shito replied.

"Where do these people come from?" Wang Dong finally couldn't help asking, it must be abnormal to have so many disabled people all at once.

"I picked it up." The stone rummaged around in the house, and found a small piece of hard steamed bun and handed it to the little girl, "Some were picked up in the wild woods outside the city, and some were sick and abandoned by others. Some of the ones who came back were orphans who had nowhere to go, and some were found stealing things and were beaten and maimed.”

"Abandoned, abandoned by who, their family?" Wang Dong really didn't expect such a corner in the city.

Shi Shi paused the movements in his hands, and looked up at Wang Dong, "Don't you think they look familiar? Don't you think they look like disabled beggars who go in and out of every corner of the city to beg?"

These words exploded in Su Tang's mind like a bomb, and her face turned pale immediately. Yingyue saw that something was wrong with Su Tang, and quickly stepped forward to support her, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Su Tang waved his hand to show that he was fine, but looking at the miserable situation in the house, even if Su Tang didn't want to admit it anymore, the facts were in front of her, and she had to admit it.

This scene, this familiar modus operandi, seemed to appear in her mind as real images one by one. What she really didn't expect was that this cruel method, even in ancient times, still had its trace.

Kidnapped or picked up children are deliberately disabled, and then put on the street to win the sympathy of others to beg. At the end of each day, the begging money must be handed in, and if there is less, they will be beaten.
