Qi Wushuang has his own private army with many capable people under his command, but they are only useful on the battlefield.

When it comes to investigating cases, Qi Cheng, who is the most meticulous, is only half-baked.

Seeing that Ye Wuwei was clear-headed and responded appropriately, although he was still unsure of Ye Wuwei's identity, Qi Wushuang still had the idea of ​​using Ye Wuwei.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Ye Wuwei."

Ye Wuwei?

How could it be such a coincidence? The name is opposite to mine?

Qi Wushuang observed Ye Wuwei silently, but did not realize that he was lying.

"What else do you know?"

"That's all I know for now. If you want to know more, I can find out for you."

"For the time being, you will stay by my side and be at my command."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When Ye Wuwei came to this world, he had no relatives, no money, and no property. He didn't know what to do. Now that an opportunity has been given to him, he decided to seize it.

Although he didn't know what kind of prince Qi Wushuang was, the domineering temperament displayed by Qi Wushuang made Ye Wuwei judge that he was a strong man.

Moreover, based on past experience, Ye Wuwei judged that Qi Wushuang was not a cold-blooded, cruel, ruthless, sinister and vicious person.

This kind of person is exactly the thigh that Ye Wuwei, who has nothing, urgently needs to hold on to.

On the other hand, the human trafficking case is also a case that Ye Wuwei hates. Even if Qi Wushuang is not a person worthy of refuge, Ye Wuwei intends to help him investigate the case.

Qi Wushuang signaled Qi Cheng to take Ye Wuwei downstairs to wash up first, and they would temporarily stay in the back house of the county government office.

While washing, Ye Wuwei thought that it would be troublesome to get rid of the lice on his head, so he asked Qi Cheng to find him a razor and shaved his hair cleanly.

After washing up, Ye Wuwei looked through the blurry bronze mirror.

Although his original body was still thin, he looked quite neat after being tidied up, and his appearance was somewhat similar to that of his previous life.

After washing up, Ye Wuwei first asked Qi Cheng about the Qi Dynasty’s human trafficking system.

The Qi Dynasty did not prohibit human trafficking, but the law stipulated that all human trafficking must go through the brokerage agency and be registered with the government's population department. Any other activities were considered illegal.

Even if someone picked up an abandoned child, they had to first send the child to the government's Population Bureau for registration.

According to the law, if it is confirmed that the people were trafficked, then the people who bought them are also accomplices and will be fined at the very least and sentenced to forced labor at the worst.

Those who were trafficked and know their original families must be sent back according to regulations. Those who do not know their original families will be registered with the Population Bureau first, and then re-processed according to the wishes of the victims.

After understanding Qi Dynasty's human trafficking system, Ye Wuwei came up with an investigation plan.

After dinner, Ye Wuwei asked to see Qi Wushuang.

Qi Wushuang was reading the various news sent by Chu Fuchi. When he heard Ye Wuwei wanted to see him, he let him in.

Ye Wuwei imitated Qi Cheng's bow and said, "Your Highness, how do you intend to investigate the human trafficking case?"

Qi Wushuang looked at Ye Wuwei.

The beggar looked brand new after washing.

He was wearing a long cotton robe with cloud-embroidered edging at the collar and cuffs, a wide green brocade belt with auspicious clouds around his waist, and a pair of deerskin boots on his feet.

If it weren't for his bald head, he would look no different from a noble young man in Chamdo.

"Why did you shave your hair?"

"I had lice, so I shaved it clean."

Qi Wushuang thought to himself: This beggar is a very straightforward person, not shy at all.

Qi Wushuang was not serious about the case. The emperor sent him to such a remote place as Anping County only because he was afraid of him, so he found an excuse to transfer him out of Chamdo.

No matter how well he investigated the human trafficking case, the emperor would find fault with it.

Besides, investigating cases is not Qi Wushuang's specialty.

Seeing Ye Wuwei taking the initiative to talk about the human trafficking case, Qi Wushuang asked: "What suggestions do you have?"

Ye Wuwei said:

“Human trafficking cases may not seem like big ones, but they are actually quite complicated, and investigating them is time-consuming, laborious, and unpleasant.

Not only is there a complex interweaving of laws and morals, but it also involves the privacy of multiple families. If not handled properly, it can not only harm the trafficked person but also cause family breakdown.

Therefore, we cannot conduct a high-profile investigation.”

Is this something a teenage beggar would say?

Qi Wushuang's eyes instantly became sharp, and he looked Ye Wuwei up and down several times.

But no matter how you look at him, he is just a fifteen-year-old, very thin boy.

Qi Wushuang thought about himself again.

He is called the "God of War", but when he first entered the military camp at the age of fifteen, he was just a young man. It was under the careful guidance of General Chu that he gradually achieved his current achievements.

Even Chu Fuchi, who was generally recognized as a "fox spirit", was just a teenager who knew how to control his emotions and was more thoughtful than his peers when he was fifteen years old.

The young man in front of me hit upon the crux of the human trafficking case in one sentence. Who taught him to say these words?

What was the purpose of the person behind him sending him close to me?

Qi Wushuang was thinking for a moment: "Then how are you going to investigate this case?"

"If Your Majesty trusts me, how about letting me visit each of these families involved in human trafficking?"

Qi Wushuang deliberately said: "Why bother with so much trouble? Just summon them to the county government office for questioning."

"Your Highness, most of the people who were trafficked were very pitiful. Some were imprisoned, some were disabled, and some were sold into brothels.

If they were summoned to the county government office for questioning, those who had been trafficked would be afraid and would not dare to say anything.

I also believe that people who are trafficked are victims, and their privacy and rights should be protected to the greatest extent possible."

Qi Wushuang thought for a moment:

Now it is still unclear what Ye Wuwei's purpose is in approaching him, so why not keep Ye Wuwei by his side first and see what Ye Wuwei wants to do? By the way, lead out the person behind Ye Wuwei.

After making up his mind, Qi Wushuang said, "Just as you said, I'll let Qi Cheng bring a few people to visit with you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

……

The first house Ye Wuwei went to was Zhang the Butcher’s.

With the official document, Butcher Zhang did not dare to act wildly and called Ye Lingling out.

Ye Wuwei asked everyone else to leave as he wanted to talk to Ye Lingling alone.

Ye Lingling is about sixteen or seventeen years old, with beautiful features and a tall and slender figure. She is now a maid in Zhang the Butcher's house.

"I'm a subordinate of Prince Qi. I know you were trafficked to Anping Town when you were young. There are many people like you who were trafficked here in Anping Town."

Perhaps because Ye Wuwei looked like a weak boy, Ye Lingling was not too wary of him.

"That's right. During the Lantern Festival when I was six years old, I went out to watch the lanterns and was abducted by human traffickers and taken to Anping Town."

"Then do you remember where your previous home was? Who were your parents?"

"I only remember that my family was from Qamdo. We were probably well off, with a large house and many servants. My mother called me Nannan."

Is that so? That's a little bit of information.
