Back in Qingshi Town, Long Xiao gave the list to his subordinates and went to sleep. Wake up again, but the next morning.
His subordinates hurriedly reported: "Sir, the subordinates have investigated everyone on the list and found that butcher Li in Dongtou village is the most suspected."
Long Xiao was cold all over: "let''s go and have a look."
Long Xiao walked out of the Inn and didn''t want to eat breakfast. As long as the waiter wrapped two scallion cakes, he hurried on his horse and left.
After walking for half an hour, I finally came to Dongtou village, where there were smiling subordinates waiting at the head of the village. When you saw long Xiao, you quickly welcomed him: "my Lord."
Long Xiao turned over and dismounted: "how, where do people live?"
"It''s in Weicun." The man said.
With only two subordinates, Long Xiao entered the village and finally stopped in a shabby small yard.
Long Xiao saw that the door of the yard was not closed, so he went in and saw a thin old woman in her sixties robbing clothes.
Long Xiaodao: "aunt, I wonder if butcher Li is at home?"
The old lady looked back and was stunned: "who are you? What are you doing with my old man? "
Seeing her bad attitude, Long Xiao said faintly, "let''s ask him something."
"Ask what?" The old lady put her clothes on the bamboo pole and said, "my old man died a long time ago."
Long Xiao was stunned: "dead?"
The subordinate behind him said in a low voice: "Sir, we have visited all those rosters. None of them have been sold. This is the only one left. It is said that the owner used to be a butcher. We just want to inquire today. You wake up, sir, so this one is the most suspicious."
Long Xiao nodded and went up to the eldest mother and said, "aunt, let''s ask you something." Then he took out a piece of broken silver from his sleeve.
As soon as the old lady saw the broken silver, her eyes lit up, her attitude immediately got better and said with a smile: "well, what do you want to ask?"
"When did your man die?" Dragon filial piety.
"Seven or eight years ago." The old lady said, her eyes a little red, "you sit here."
The old lady said and sat down at a broken wooden table in the yard. Long Xiao also sat down.
"How did you die?" Dragon filial piety.
The eldest mother frowned: "what are you asking?"
Long Xiaodao: "I want to ask, did you sell a woman into the green banana building 20 years ago?"
The eldest mother was stunned, and then her face changed: "why do you ask?"
Long Xiaodao: "it''s an old friend of ours, so come and inquire. Why are you so nervous? " His eyes flashed slightly.
According to his guess, aunt Yun was probably butcher Li''s daughter or some relative, so she sold it. But now looking at the old lady''s nervous look, isn''t it their daughter? Are they abductors?
No, but the eldest mother said, "what am I nervous about? What do I have to be nervous about, that little bitch, who won''t sell her? "
Long Xiao frowned: "what''s going on." Then he took out another piece of silver, "who is that girl?"
When the old lady saw the silver, her eyes lit up and she said, "Why are you looking for her all of a sudden? Are you her relatives? That''s none of our business! The girl was given to the dead old man. " The old lady was angry.
"What do you mean?" Dragon filial piety.
"He''s an old widower. His name is Meng Dajiao! He owed us ten Liang silver. Before he came out, he gave his daughter-in-law to us. " The old lady said angrily, "let him ask for silver. He actually brought this little bitch back and used it as a little girl. I can''t be angry. I want to cut him with a knife and force him to sell him! Ben asked him to sell it to the county, but he sold it to the town. I really thought I didn''t know what his mind was thinking. I thought he could find her there if he sold close. Bah! When people enter the building, they become Huakui. Hehe, what can he touch! Not yet -- "
Then he began to scold. The three Longxiao people took a smoke from the corners of their mouths. Longxiao hurriedly interrupted her and took out the picture: "is it her?"
When the old lady saw the picture, she widened her eyes and said excitedly, "yes, yes, that''s her."
Long Xiao looked at each other with two subordinates. Long Xiaodao said, "aunt just said she was the daughter-in-law of the old widower in Mengjia village?"
"Yes!" The old lady nodded,
Long Xiao and his two subordinates looked at each other. Is such a beautiful woman the daughter-in-law of a country man? It doesn''t look like it!
Long Xiao said anxiously, "where is the old widower from and where does he live?"
"Here is Mengjia village ahead." The eldest mother said, "but you can''t see him. He''s dead!"
Long Xiao was shocked: "how did you die?"
The eldest mother wiped her tears and cried, "I went up the mountain with our old man seven years ago. Somehow, I was bitten to death by a wild wolf! They were bitten together... Sobbing... Only a head and a few bones were left. My God, it''s unreasonable. How can there be such a cruel thing! "
Then she burst into tears.
Long Xiao had to take out a piece of silver. The old lady stopped crying when she looked at the silver.
Long Xiao said, "since your man will go up the mountain with the widower, are you two very familiar?"
"A little kinship." Said the old lady.
"Then, do you know where his daughter-in-law came from?" Dragon filial piety.
The eldest mother Pooh a voice: "what married back, this is bought from the hands of traffickers."
Long Xiao was surprised.
The old lady continued, "Monroe got married very early, but after getting married, he beat his wife every day. The wife couldn''t stand it, so she took the child and jumped into the river and died. He became a widower, because his wife died pitifully and no daughter wanted him anymore, so he had to be widowed. Until one day, he suddenly got a fairy like daughter-in-law home. Originally, he looked solid, but later we found it and asked him how he got married. He didn''t say anything. Later, he was forced to hurry. He said he bought it from the toothed woman in the county. We all laugh at him. Will she sell him such a good and beautiful girl? Does he have money to buy it? He said, this girl is crazy! Always sick, so he bought it home cheaply. "
Long Shao couldn''t help frowning. He was teased again and again. Do you want to go to the county again?
A subordinate beside Long Xiao said, "is that girl really ill?"
No, the old lady laughed, "do you say you are sick?"
The subordinate''s face was slightly stiff, and the other one gave him a white look: "if you are sick, green banana won''t buy her, and you can''t be a Huakui lady."
"Anyway, when the village is curious and asks too many questions, the dead widower will beat people, so no one pays more attention." The old lady smiled, "but we all know that it must have been sold to him by his trafficker cousin Huang Sigou."
"What, so you know?" Long Xiaojing said.
The old lady smiled: "I also know that Huang Sigou is a wimp. In several villages here, several daughters-in-law were bought from that man, but he didn''t admit it when he died. However, we know that man is a private dealer secretly. I''m the way to buy people. However, even he has stopped doing this job. "
One of Longxiao''s subordinates said, "where does the Yellow four dogs live?
"It''s in Shihe village." Said the old lady.
"Aunt, just take us." With these words, he took out a string of money and stuffed it into the old lady''s hand.
The eldest mother was overjoyed and quickly nodded, "well, it''s not easy."
Then he put the last piece of clothes in his hand on the clothes pole, walked on the apron and wiped it, and followed long Xiao them out.
Several people got on the horse and soon arrived at Shihe village. The eldest mother knocked on the door of Huang Sigou''s house and saw a young man in his twenties.
"Sunspot, where''s your father?" Said the old lady.
The sunspot said, "I went out yesterday and haven''t come back yet. I don''t know which pit I was drunk in."
"I used to be very energetic, but I''ve become an alcoholic in recent years." Dalian turned back to Long Xiao and continued to ask the young man, "where are you drunk?"
The young man said, "how do I know? Sometimes in the town, sometimes in the mountain pit, but wait. He will come back for dinner at noon."
Long Xiao and his two subordinates went to the banyan head not far away and sat waiting.
At this time, in Qingshan Town——
In a small garden in the town, a small old man in his fifties was tied up in a big tie. He was no other than the Yellow four dogs!
The Yellow four dogs were tied up and thrown there. They were cold and hungry, and their eyes rolled with anxiety.
Yesterday he was going to drink in the town. Unexpectedly, two people rushed out and tied him up!
Huang Sigou was frightened and scared. He was not a beautiful girl, nor a rich member. He was just a man in the mountains, and he was still a poor jingling. He was tied here!
And the bundle is not lost to any rotten places, but such a beautiful yard!
What''s the matter? Is it true that someone took a fancy to him and tied him here to prepare for humiliation?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Tears came out quickly.
At this time, there was a squeak outside. The Yellow four dogs struggled with fear. Looking out of the window, they saw that the yard door was pushed open and a small carriage was driven in.
Looking at the pony cart, Huang Sigu''s eyes widened with surprise. There was no such carriage except Chen in the town! Where did this come from, sir?
Several of the little carriages stopped in the courtyard. The boy driving opened the curtain, and then walked down an old man dressed in Raven green silk. He knew which master it was at a glance!
What''s going on? When did you offend such a person? Huang Sigou couldn''t understand what he thought.
I saw the master of Raven green silk and satin say, "bring it out."
"Yes." The boy promised, rushed into the house, dragged the Yellow four dogs out and threw them in front of the master. Another tear open the cloth blocking the mouth of the Yellow four dogs.
Huang Sigou took a hard breath, and finally he could breathe normally. He trembled all over and knelt in front of the old man: "this big master, what''s wrong with being so small that you tied the small one here."
The master turned around, took out a piece of paper from his arms, spread it out in front of him and said, "do you recognize the woman in the picture?"
Huang Sigou didn''t see the person in the picture, but heard him say he didn''t recognize any woman. Huang Sigou''s face was blue with fear.
Because he used to be an individual dealer, guilty of being a thief and specialized in selling women. Just stare big eyes, isn''t it
Huang Sigou trembled: "I don''t recognize any woman, I don''t recognize..."
I didn''t want to. Before he finished, the master of Raven green silk and satin kicked him to the ground: "don''t you recognize him? Of course you don''t recognize them. There are not a thousand but hundreds of women who have been trafficked by you. How can you recognize them all? "
As soon as Huang Sigou''s face changed, he immediately fell to the ground: "I... I didn''t... no... sir, spare my life! Spare your life! "
It''s no use how Huang siguzi denies it, because the other party has caught himself here. He must inquire clearly. Even if he denies it, others will kill him.
"Look at this picture. Do you recognize it?" The old man said coldly.
Huang Sigou''s frightened body trembled constantly. When he looked up at the portrait, the whole person was stunned and shook his head: "I don''t recognize it, really don''t recognize it."
He has so many women in his hands, and after so many years, he can''t recognize them.
The little black teacher behind him came forward and slapped Huang Sigou on the head.
The Yellow four dogs were beaten to the ground with a painful cry.
The old man said, "didn''t you sell this woman to your cousin? Finally, it was paid to the creditor and stepped into the brothel. "
As soon as Huang Sigou''s face changed, he remembered that he had indeed sold a woman to his cousin.
The portrait in front of me is becoming more and more familiar. Yes, it''s this woman! It''s very beautiful!
At that time, I thought it would be cheaper to sell to my cousin!
Now, after 20 years, Huang Sigou turns pale with fear when he suddenly finds such a group of people.
Generally speaking, when a woman is missing, no one will trace her for a long time, especially in large families.
Because they are missing, they are not clean. Big families can''t afford to lose face. They won''t continue after looking for it for a few days.
I didn''t expect that someone came to the door after 20 years, and look at the dress, it looks like a rich family''s.
Huang Sigou was so frightened that he trembled: "Sir, please spare your life. Small... Small ones are forced to be helpless..." with this, Huang Sigou felt guilty.
He thought he was going to be killed by them, but the master suddenly sneered: "we can spare you from dying!"
"What?" Huang Sigou was surprised. He sold other people''s daughters. However, they said they would not die?
"Did you hear something yesterday?" The grandfather said suddenly.
"What''s going on?" The Yellow four dogs were surprised.
"The woman in the picture is the eldest daughter of our Zhao family. She disappeared more than 20 years ago. Our master gave up, but her wife only has such a daughter. After 20 years, she suddenly saw a child similar to her daughter. She couldn''t help tracking down the child''s life experience. The more she tracked down, the more she felt that the child''s mother was her missing daughter. But it''s just similar. Some of them are unknown and can''t be determined. So the wife followed the vine all the way and finally found this way. "
Sure enough, it belongs to a big family! This is terrible. Huang Sigou trembled as he listened. He had a sense of rotation.
"The people we sent out yesterday have come to this town. Ask everywhere. Have you heard of it?" The old man said.
Huang Sigou was stunned and then suddenly widened his eyes. When he went out yesterday, he happened to see some strangers from the village and asked who was at home?
At that time, I didn''t care. Now when I listen to the old man in front of me, I know that those people are looking for that woman! Also looking for him!
"Hehe, our girl has been missing for many years. My wife washes her face with tears every day. As long as she is sure that she is really the missing girl in our family, she will take her grandson home to raise her. Of course, you people who have abducted and sold her will not be spared! "
Huang Sigou''s face changed sharply and screamed, "sir... Please... Please... Just now you said you could spare me from dying."
Yellow four dogs can be human traffickers. People are naturally smart. Since the people in front of them will suddenly bind themselves and talk to each other before this, there must be room for discussion.
He raised his head with a runny nose and tears. Sure enough, he saw that the originally kind-hearted old man suddenly gave a ferocious smile: "however, my second wife doesn''t want the child to be recognized at home."
Huang Sigou was stunned, and then his face was full of joy. He heard that there were a lot of shady things in those rich families. What second bedroom poisoned his son and what main wife beat him to kill his children by some means. Anyway, how can he come with shady things.
Now, obviously, the wife wants to prove that the woman is her own daughter, but the second wife doesn''t want to be proved for some reason.
Huang Sigou seemed to see the dawn and quickly looked at the old man and kowtowed: "Sir, please tell me what to do?"
The old man said, "what do you say?"
"By the way, is it just that those people come and I don''t admit it? Just say you don''t recognize this woman? " The Yellow four dogs hurried.
No, the old man said, "no! There are so many people in front of you. You don''t admit it. Do you think others will let you go? Do you think others will believe it? "
Huang Sigou''s face changed dramatically. Yes, everyone testified against him. If he didn''t admit it, he would only be beaten and even lose his life.
"Sir, don''t sell off. Tell me what to do." The Yellow four dogs begged.
The old man snorted coldly, bent down, whispered something in the Yellow four dogs'' ears, turned and got into the carriage and drove away.
Yellow four dogs sat on the ground, staring at the carriage going farther and farther, and felt like a dream.
After staying for most of the day, he got up and walked home.
When I returned to the village, I saw several strangers standing under the banyan tree not far from my house.
As soon as Huang Sigou''s face changed, sure enough, the man who tracked down the woman came!
I can''t get to the bottom, otherwise I can only be retaliated by the woman''s family.
After cleaning up his emotions, Huang Sigou took two mouthfuls of wine and stumbled home.
