Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands
Chapter 237 Meeting Cui Can
On the day she returned to the garden, Xie Xian received news that Hu Chong might have come to his senses as he actually sent her a lot of information about the various hideouts of the Beggars' Gang.
I guess he has figured it out. When he has to work under Xie Xian in the future, it will be hard for him to get things done.
"Is this news from the Hai Gang true?" Xie Xian asked.
Xiang Jie nodded solemnly, "We have confirmed all the places we went to scout." Although Kuaiji County seemed prosperous on the surface, it was actually a place of filth and corruption behind the scenes.
"I didn't expect this Beggar Gang member to be so arrogant."
In this county, there are no less than a dozen dens. These brokers have clear division of labor, including those who scout, those who follow, and those who abduct. In Xie Xian's words, an industrial chain has been formed.
Moreover, brokers have a particular preference for good-looking boys and girls. They have a huge influence behind them, and their network of relationships is as intricate as the roots of an old tree.
"This is a difficult matter." Zuo Wei and others in the hall were also frowning and thinking.
Qingdai poured tea for everyone, and after walking around, she said, "No wonder it's so rare to see a girl on this street."
Isn’t it? Human traffickers are so rampant that the locals can only keep their wives and daughters at home to protect themselves.
"Doesn't the county magistrate care about this city?" Dong Qian asked when he didn't understand.
Zuo Wei shook his head: "I'm afraid that's the case. Even if the county magistrate knew about it, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it." He shook his head and sighed. In fact, he had also noticed these anomalies when he was fortune-telling on the street, but he didn't think too much about it.
"These human traffickers are very good at judging the situation and choosing the right person for their services. As long as the local nobles and dignitaries pay tribute to them, they will naturally be protected by them."
Ji Yuanyi's face flashed with anger, and he said unhappily, "Birds of a feather."
Xie Xian looked at him in surprise. This man's temper was sometimes good and sometimes bad, and his mood was quite unstable. "Everyone, let's think of a solution. Now that we know about this, we can't just stand by and watch."
Zuo Ci said: "Can't we just hand these things over to the government office?"
Seeing everyone's disapproving expressions, it was obvious that he was thinking too simply.
"Guess whether the Beggars' Gang has been entrenched here for decades and whether they have any people in the government office." Ji Yuanyi said unhappily. The noble families were very familiar with this method of collusion among each other.
Zuo Wei suggested: "Don't dirty your hands. This matter cannot be initiated by us. It is best if people in high positions and with high power know how serious it is."
Ji Yuanyi seemed to remember something and said, "Many people have come to Kuaiji County in the past few days." He had a playful smile on his face.
"Xishan Temple is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Those noble people who come here for good health highly respect it."
At the foot of the Western Hills is a luxurious manor where the nobles live.
Xie Xian touched her chin and said, "I have an idea..."
After several days of scouting, Xiang Jie found a good target, Princess Showa's Villa. According to Xie Xian, since he was looking for the powerful, he had to look for the top powerful people. If such a person got angry, even the county magistrate would be unable to suppress him.
In the courtyard of a brick house not far away, a fat boy screamed loudly, "Come on, come on, if you can find it, I will return it to you!"
The little fat man in a bright yellow vest was holding a wooden bowl in his hand. The bowl was roughly made with immature craftsmanship. It was obvious at first glance that it was not a valuable item.
"Cui Can, you are a child of a noble family, but now you are in your aunt's yard and your good brother can't save you, haha."
Cui Can, who was wearing a green shirt behind him, suddenly turned pale on his already flushed face.
"Come here, put this bowl on the tree for me." Then he taunted Cui Can with ill intentions: "If you can get it, I will return it to you."
Cui Can climbed up the tree with trembling hands and feet. His hands were rubbed raw, but the young boy didn't care at all. This bowl was the only thing he had in mind since he came back from Que County.
Xiaoli'er and Yudan gave it to him before they left. My eldest brother couldn't even protect himself, and now he can only rely on himself. He wanted to cry, but he remembered what Sister Xian said, that men should be self-reliant.
Now the eldest brother cannot come because of something going on at home, but all he can do is to protect himself and tell the eldest brother not to worry.
Xiang Jie narrowed his eyes. This little fat boy called the eldest princess aunt. He must be the son of some noble family. He was quite impressive.
Cui Can had never climbed a tree before. It was three heads high and he hesitated for a long time without his feet leaving the ground.
His face turned red from holding back his laughter, and a light laugh came from somewhere. At this moment, the wooden bowl on the branch was suddenly hit by something and fell down at an angle.
Cui Can quickly stretched out his hand to catch it, and looked around, trying to find out who was laughing at him. After searching for a long time, he didn't see anyone.
No matter what, I finally managed to save my bowl.
Holding the small wooden bowl, he hurried back to the room, dragged out a copper box from under the bed, opened the lock and lifted the lid. The box was not big and could not hold many things, but these were all the young boy's favorites.
If it wasn't for the good weather today and he wanted to take the things in the box out to dry them in the sun to get rid of the moisture, Li Zheng wouldn't have seen him and used this wooden bowl to tease him.
There were several books and a set of tortoise shell copper coins in the box. These were left to him by his teacher and must not be lost.
Originally, I came to Kuaiji with my brother to pay a visit to the teacher, but halfway through the journey, something happened to the family ship, and my brother had to split himself to deal with those people.
On the way back to her own villa, she and her car had an accident. When she woke up, she realized that this was the villa of the Grand Princess of Kuaiji.
He requested for a meeting many times but to no avail. He was small and weak, and Degui was covered in wounds. The manager of the villa seemed to be very hostile to him, so he could only be obedient and wait for his brother to come.
The little boy lay on the box and sobbed twice to vent his inner depression. Then he pouted and locked the box. He looked at the bland food on the table, rubbed his stomach, and moved over reluctantly.
On the other side, the Crown Prince Li Zheng complained loudly, "That Cui Can is so boring. He won't respond to anything I say to him. My aunt wants me to play with him. I won't do it tomorrow."
"Oh my little ancestor, Her Highness the Princess is doing this for your own good. He is the legitimate son of the Cui family, and there are only benefits in making friends with him..." The waiter Huang Ying advised with a wry smile.
"Tsk~ Don't think I'm easy to fool. It's because my aunt has taken a fancy to Cui Dalang that I don't have the patience to care about these things. If there is nothing fun tomorrow, you'll have to jump over the wall."
As soon as Li Zheng said this, the servants beside him began to tremble like sieves. This Prince Yu was a little devil. The wall that the prince mentioned was not this low wall, but the three or four meter high brick wall on the other side of the door. It seemed that after the servants were forced to jump over the wall, they injured their legs and feet and could not get out of bed until now.
But the young master said that they were useless. He had clearly seen someone jump from a four-meter-high door and still remain unharmed.
During these few days, the servants in Cuiwei Garden have been replaced almost three times.
Huang Ying perked up, put on a smile, and said: "Tomorrow, let's change some new things to make the prince happy." Don't let those servants jump over the wall to play, these people don't have the time to do so.
After a lot of effort, Li Zheng finally ate his meal obediently.
When Li Zheng fell asleep, Cuiwei Garden's manager came over and said, "We've invited all the opera troupes in the city to perform these days. There's really nothing new here."
He was also very worried. After saying this, he glanced at the yard next to him and said, "Why not use the boy over there to entertain the prince instead of tormenting us?"
