After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder
Chapter 22 The Worried Village Chief
Although he didn't know which kind-hearted person was pushing this secretly, Lu Youqian still watched it patiently.
This complaint clearly stated a large-scale human trafficking case.
Most of the incidents happened more than ten years ago, and the traffickers have long passed away!
There were only three or two people left, living in a mountain village ten miles outside the city.
When Lu Youqian saw this, he originally didn't intend to care about it.
Putting aside the fact that we don't know who the plaintiff is, the case itself has no money or profit to gain, and it is an old matter spanning several provinces and cities. If we reopen this case, it will inevitably be time-consuming and laborious.
Besides, the human traffickers are already dead, so how can he catch the real culprit?
Even if he put the offspring of human traffickers in jail, what would be the use?
He put a group of villagers in jail and had to waste food to feed them. What was he trying to achieve?
In the letter, the informant said that he hoped he could let the abducted children return to their homes, severely punish the families of the perpetrators, and give an explanation to all the abducted children!
In response to this, Lu Youqian snorted coldly!
He is not taken advantage of!
Why do this?
He won't do it if it's a waste of time and effort and not worth the effort!
But today, the lady actually handed him a note!
The meaning of the note is clearly hinting at this matter!
Lu Youqian's eyes dimmed slightly. The person behind the scenes had already plotted against him. If he didn't take over the matter, would his entire family be killed?
What kind of person dares to plot against him?
All of Lu Youqian's good mood vanished at this moment!
Only Zheng was very cautious. She had been trying to have a child for many years and had tried countless methods.
Taking medicine doesn’t work, and praying to gods doesn’t work either.
If it is really as the Taoist priest said, that she only needs one point of good fortune to have a baby, then of course she wants to give it a try!
Now, after hearing about this major human trafficking case, Zheng thought that this was a clear path that God had pointed out to her!
Zheng's fair and delicate arms directly wrapped around the man who was frowning and thinking.
Taking advantage of the dark night, sleeping in the same bed, speaking softly and tenderly, I want to do more for those homeless children!
Lu Youqian's eyes darkened and he sighed in his heart!
He also wanted a biological child. Such a huge family business needed descendants to inherit it!
But, forget it, he will think about it again, think about it again!
Lu Youqian put aside his worries and stood up again with his gun in hand, but his wife snorted coldly and kicked him off the bed.
If you don’t agree, don’t touch me!
Lu Youqian: ………..
On the third day after the note was delivered to the yamen, the government still did not take any action.
Zhong Ning and Shen Yan unanimously decided to adopt the last method!
All the copied and excerpted petitions, which clearly stated the crimes of the two elders of the Zhong family and the list of human traffickers, were posted on the streets and alleys of the county!
In just one day, the case became known to everyone!
Led by the upright scholars, they rushed to the front line of the government office and demanded that the county magistrate take over the case and bring the abducted children home.
The family who lost their child fainted when the truth was revealed more than ten years later.
After waking up, they all cried for their son and begged the Lord of Heaven to help them!
For a time, this case caused a lot of uproar!
The yamen was blocked by the anger of the people.
Lu Youqian was placed on a high platform by everyone, with a frown on his face!
Zheng took the opportunity to persuade him again and again, saying that if he was an official and didn't serve the people, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes! What's more, this would benefit future generations!
If he doesn't accept it, it will be unjust!
Lu Youqian had a bitter face and lowered his head. He could only take the case first. If he didn't take it, he would be in trouble if the matter got out of hand!
In desperation, I had to stand up and express my position first. This county vows to be irreconcilable with human traffickers. Even if the real murderer is dead, the crimes he committed should be borne by his descendants!
Zhou Yuhua, Xu Yongzhang and their family were thrown into prison.
As descendants of human traffickers, the Heavenly Prison will be their only destination in the future!
Zhou Yuhua and Xu Yongkang are fine. Although they were frightened, they are in good health.
But Xu Yongzhang was in a miserable state. He was already seriously injured, and now his injuries were even worse!
Just a few days after entering the Heavenly Prison, he died due to severe injuries!
At the moment of his death, a faint golden light shot up into the sky and fell into Zhong Ning's sea of consciousness!
In his sleep, Zhong Ning turned over unconsciously without noticing anything.
The ball of light of the Book Spirit System in her sea of consciousness slowly expanded a little as it absorbed the faint golden light, and the entire ball seemed to be satisfied.
The book spirit consciousness sleeping in the dumpling even moved its eyelids slightly, and then fell silent again!
...
In the village near the mountain.
Because Xu Yongzhang's family was suddenly arrested by the government, the whole village was in an uproar.
All the heads of the family gathered at the village chief's house to discuss countermeasures.
Now, there is a human trafficking family in Kaoshan Village, which directly brought the fire to Kaoshan Village.
Everyone is saying that the Xu family has abducted so many children that it is hard to say whether it was just one family that committed the crime or whether the entire village, young and old, was involved.
After all, the petition clearly stated that two children were left in Kaoshan Village.
The little girl Xu Xiaocao has been treated like a slave in the Xu family since she was a child. Now her life or death is unknown. I wonder if she has been sold by the Xu family again.
The boy Shen Yan was sold to a widow's family in the same village in his early years.
From this we can see that the entire Kaoshan Village was aware of the Xu family's child trafficking, and this is an inescapable fact.
Some people even suggested that the entire Kaoshan Village should be investigated thoroughly to prevent any children from suffering without knowing it.
Lu Youqian decided to handle this matter well, and immediately sent yamen runners to investigate house by house. The reputation of Kaoshan Village was completely ruined.
The village chief frowned and remained silent for a long time. All the men in charge also lowered their heads, not knowing what to do!
"Tell us all!" the village chief said. "This concerns the reputation of our entire village. We should come up with some ideas on how to remedy this!"
"Uncle Chen, you are the elder, please go first!" The village chief said to the white-haired old man sitting aside with his eyes half closed.
Old Master Chen opened his eyes slightly, then sighed again, "I knew the Xu family's grandfather back then. I knew he made a fortune outside and built a new house after returning to the village, but I never imagined he made his fortune in this way."
"Who says it's not?" Old Man Liu also spoke up. "That little girl Xiaocao, they said back then that she was Zhou's daughter born outside, and that boy from the Shen family was his sister-in-law's child. They gave him away because they had too many children and couldn't afford to raise them. How did it suddenly become like this?"
"Hmph!" A middle-aged man in an old grey robe slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "This is just one bad apple spoiling the whole barrel. Poor girl... This Xu family deserves to die!"
Everyone looks bad!
The middle-aged man's name is Wang Wu. His daughter is fifteen years old this year. She is engaged to Zhou Jiandong, a young man from the neighboring village. The engagement has been made and they are just waiting for the proposal.
As a result, something happened in Kaoshan Village.
The Zhou family immediately cancelled the engagement.
The reason is very far-fetched. The general meaning is that there is a family like that in your village. Who knows if your village is a human trafficking village that makes a living by kidnapping and selling children? They don’t want their descendants to be tainted by such a bad reputation!
It wasn't just the Wang family's daughter who had her engagement broken off.
As for those who are already married, because Kaoshan Village is now famous, they have registered with the county government and become the hot search headlines in the county this year. As a result, they can no longer hold their heads up in their husband's family.
I want to go back to my parents' home, but I'm worried that coming back will burden them. If I want to remarry in the future, I'm afraid I'll marry someone worse.
This phenomenon occurred one after another, and it can be said that all the heads of Kaoshan Village were worried.
"I have an idea," a usually silent man squatting at the edge suddenly spoke up. "It's already happened, so we have to find a way to make amends!"
"How can we make up for it? The Xu family has been thrown into jail." asked the village chief.
The man scratched his head and then said, "In our village, there is also a boy who was abducted and sold..."
"You mean? Shen Yan?"
"Yes, he was trafficked to our village by the Xu family. Let's ask him what he needs and do our best to help him! That's what I think," the man said embarrassedly. "Everyone, please tell us what's inappropriate and we can make changes."
Everyone fell into deep thought, and then felt that this might be a feasible solution.
So he sent someone to invite Shen Yan over to see what he thought.
If he wanted to go back to find his relatives, they would find a way to get him some travel expenses, and then get him a pass to send him away.
If he wants to stay here, they will allocate some more land to him, help him build a new house, and find him a wife!
