It has been more than half a month since Governor Tan arrived in Xinping City, and it was said that the new official had taken office three times, but when Governor Tan arrived in Yucheng, all matters were in accordance with the original rules. With such a move, naturally no one stumbled him. Many people think that Tan Zhifu is a middle-of-the-road person. The so-called moderation is the kind that no one can offend and leave after the expiration of the term. But these people don't know that during this time, Governor Tan has been looking at the files of Xinping City's tax and litigation cases in previous years.

When Yu Cong arrived at the prefect's yamen, Governor Tan was still reading the scrolls in the house. Hearing that someone from Yucheng came, Governor Tan was a little strange.

The entourage of Governor Tan handed him a letter and said, "My lord, the person who came said that as long as you read this letter, you will understand. ”

After reading the letter, Governor Tan held the letter and said, "Go and invite people in." "The surname of Tan Governor is Tan, and his name is Tuo, and he is a two-list jinshi. At that time, Tan Tuo's scientific examination ranking was very high, and he could have entered Hanlin, but he was reluctant to switch to others because of the Han family's funding, so he was stumped and finally sent to a poor place in Guizhou as a county magistrate.

Tan Tuo was originally a child of a poor family and was used to living a hard life. Although he was sent to Guizhou, a land of poor mountains and bad waters, he did not collapse and did his best to help the people. He has been in the position of county commander for nine years, and he has been excellent in the assessment every year, but unfortunately he has not been promoted. It wasn't until Han Jianming took charge of the Han Mansion that he felt that his character was commendable, and helped him dredge up the relationship, so he was promoted. With Han Jianming's backing, Tan Tuo's promotion after that was much smoother. From the county order to the prefect, it only took eight years, and it was unbelievable.

Yu Cong saluted Tan Tuo and said, "My lord, these lost children are all orphans, and I ask you to help you find them." "Since it's my own family, it's natural to be respectful.

Governor Tan is a firm-minded person, otherwise he would not have stayed in that poor place in Guizhou for nine years and did not become decadent, but governed that county very well: "You said that the people from Wangchun Tower coaxed the child away from the Salesian, but there is evidence." ”

Yu Cong handed the painting that Yuxi had painted to Governor Tan and said, "My lord, it is this woman who took away four children from the Salesian Institute in the name of adoption. My lord, we have found out that this person is the kiln sister of Wangchun Tower. "It's a pity that Mrs. Yin was tortured by Zi Jin and went to half her life, so she couldn't bring it over.

Governor Tan read the words and nodded, it would be good if there was physical evidence.

Yu Cong said: "My lord, our general said that if there is a need, you can just order us. Yu Cong's words also showed that they would not act on their own, and they would listen to Governor Tan.

Regarding Yu Cong's attitude, Governor Tan was very satisfied, and said: "When I call the catcher, you can go to Wangchun Tower with me to get people." "Although it is said that the military and the government are separated, and each has nothing to do with it, in fact, if there is a serious case in the locality, it is still necessary for people in the military to come forward to shake the scene.

Yu Cong was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, sir." "I didn't expect this new prefect to be so bold, he thought that he would investigate the news first and then act!

Governor Tan summoned more than 20 quick officials, plus more than 20 people from Yu Cong, and more than 50 people followed Governor Tan to Wangchun Tower.

Among the people who followed, a catcher surnamed Gao trotted to Yu Cong's side and asked, "Brother, what's going on?" Looking at this posture, something big must have happened.

After Yunqing learned that the whereabouts of more than 30 children in the Salesian Home were unknown, he closed the city gates. So the news was not sent, at least until now, many people in Xinping City don't know what happened.

Yu Cong said: "When you get to Wangchun Courtyard, you will know what is going on." "Who knows if this person is the minions of the people behind the scenes, this kind of thing will naturally not be leaked casually.

When he arrived at the door, Governor Tan asked Yu Cong to send a part of the people to guard the entrance and exit with a few officials. The others followed him in to arrest and save people. Making such an arrangement is also because Governor Tan is worried that these officials and fast arrests are not all reliable. As for Yu Cong, because of Yuxi's letter, he naturally wouldn't doubt it. Governor Tan knew very well that he was able to be promoted to this prefect two levels in a row, which was also the convenience of Yuxi.

Governor Tan brought someone in, restrained the bustard first, and then asked people to find the person on the painting. It's a pity that people are not in Wangchun Tower.

The old bustard cried and said, "I have already said that Qiuhong has redeemed herself and is no longer a person in our building." My lord, although you are an official of the imperial court, you can't just wronged us. We also do our part in business. ”

It's so harsh to hear. If it is said that brothels are also honest business, there are really no honest people in the world.

Governor Tan climbed up step by step from the county order, and he was in the depths of Guizhou, a place full of people, and he had never seen any tricky people. From the moment he came in and saw the old bustard's panicked look, he knew that there was a problem, and said quickly to Yu Cong and Yigan: "Search, search every corner of Wangchun Tower, and be sure to find out the child." ”

At this time, the group of fast officials also knew what was going on. There are bad guys, but most of them are still people with a conscience. Knowing the ins and outs, these people are naturally very dedicated to searching.

Half an hour later, more than 20 little girls between the ages of five and ten were found from the Wangchun Tower.

Yu Cong didn't know the appearance of the kidnapped children, looked at this group of children, and said to Governor Tan: "My lord, I don't know these children, I have to ask my mother-in-law to identify them." "He's looking for the lost child in the Salesian, and the rest is beyond his control.

When the old bustard heard this, he immediately cried out, "My lord, we have bought all these things with money, and each of them has a deed of sale. "If you buy it with money, it's not a crime. The kidnappers of the Salesian Institute are all orphans of martyrs, which is a big taboo.

As soon as these words fell, a little girl pushed through the crowd and shouted, "My lord, you didn't buy me, I was deceived by you." My father's name is Wei Desheng, and he is the seventh lieutenant of the Dingbei Army and a subordinate of General Yun. Speaking of this, the little girl's eyes were red: "My lord, my father died in battle at the beginning of spring, and my mother died of bad news." I had no one at home, so I was sent to the Salesian. These people tricked me and the others out of the Salesian House and brought them to this filthy place under the guise of adoption. "The people of Yucheng are fierce, and the girls are very bold. However, it is also the little girl who has been in Wangchun Tower for a short time, and she has not been abused inhumanely. After a while, there may not be such courage anymore.

The bustard immediately fell to the ground. is also because the little girl is too smart, even if it is a thorn, these people are reluctant to give up.

When Yu Cong heard that it was the children of the soldiers of the Dingbei Army, he couldn't help but have a sour nose when he thought of those children who died in battle, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring you back to Yucheng." ”

The little girl has been deceived once, and when she looked at Yu Cong's eyes, she was naturally vigilant: "Who are you?" I was deceived once, but I can't be deceived a second time.

Yu Cong said: "I am also a member of the Dingbei Army, my name is Yu Cong, and I came to you on the order of the general." Seeing the child's eyes like this, Yu Cong was very uncomfortable.

Surprise flashed in the little girl's eyes, and she said, "You are the guard next to the general, I heard my father say it." By this time, she knew she was truly saved.

Tan Zhifu was a little speechless when he saw Yu Cong chatting with the little girl, and he didn't look at what kind of occasion this was, so he chatted: "Take it all back." ”

Governor Tan asked Gao Yu to quickly escort Lao Bustard and the others back to the yamen first, and he took people to find the person in the painting. Soon, the person on the painting was found, this person is called Qiu Hong, who redeemed himself not long ago, and married someone, and married a ruffian. Now the couple lives in a small house.

After the official sent the people to arrest them, they searched the house and found several children from the house. It was confirmed that four of them had been abducted from the Salesian home.

Back at Yamen, Governor Tan was immediately promoted.

The old bustard bit these children to death, and she bought them with money, and she still had a deed of sale in her hand. Qiu Hong will not be stupid enough to say that she has bad intentions: "My lord, the women are wronged." The women also heard that there were many orphans living in the Salesian Hospital. The women wanted to do some good deeds, so they went to the Salesian Home to adopt these children. ”

Governor Tan sneered, slapped the shocking wood hall on the long case, and shouted loudly: "The big punishment is waiting." "If you don't tell the truth at this time, you must be punished before you are willing to confess.

As soon as she was sentenced, Qiu Hong couldn't hold it anymore and confessed: "My lord, the women also heard that Wangchunlou has had a lot of good-looking little girls recently. When the women inquired, they learned that these children were brought from the Salesian Hospital in Yucheng, and the women wanted to get some of the previous flowers, so they started to think about it. When I arrived in Yucheng, I saw that the housekeeper of the Salesian House was greedy for money, so I gave her benefits and picked four. Because I've picked it a few times before, the looks I picked are not outstanding. ”

The old bustard opened Yacha's hand, threw Qiu Hong to the ground, and slapped Qiu Hong twice. "You shitty hoof......" foul words came out in a stream.

The old bustard is not like Qiuhong will come forward by herself, the people she sent at that time were all fresh faces, and after the matter was completed, she also let these people leave Xinping City, even if she was detected and traced to Wangchun Tower, she had the deed of sale of these children in her hand. When the time comes, she can completely say that she is unaware and deceived. But Qiuhong's words were about her dragging into the water.

Governor Tan slapped the Shocking Mutang again and said, "Don't pull the person away yet." "It seems that the prefect's yamen has to be cleaned inside and out.

After a big punishment, the bustard finally confessed. However, she only said that she wanted to pick up the bargain, and the girls who were abducted from the Salesian House were all of the best looking, but the cost was very small, so she moved this crooked thought. As for the rest, there is none.

The purpose of the Tan Governor's Mansion is to dig out the people behind the scenes. The new official took office with three fires, and this fire should also be burned. However, the bustard bit to death, and she had a crooked idea, and no one instructed her. made Governor Tan fall into passivity.

There is no way to stalemate, and at that moment Governor Tan shouted angrily: "Retreat." ”

After retreating to the yamen, Governor Tan said to Yu Cong: "You take someone to guard in the dark, if someone misbehaves to the old bustard, he will catch him." "Governor Tan doesn't believe that an old bustard has such courage, this matter must have been instigated by someone. According to Governor Tan's speculation, this person behind the scenes must have wanted to kill people.

However, Governor Tan miscalculated this time, and no one came to kill people, but the old bustard wanted to commit suicide, but was stopped by Yu Cong, who was secretly watching. R1148
