Section 5: Bandits and Thieves Are Rampant and the Fog is Heavy (3)

"It all started a month ago. On that day, the grandson of the old Wang family was lost. The boy was smart and well-loved, and the neighborhood liked him very much. Shopkeeper Wu said.

As soon as she heard that a child was missing, Ling'er thought of Xiao Yizi, whose whereabouts were unknown, and asked worriedly, "How old is that child?"

"It's eleven or twelve years old!" Shopkeeper Wu said, sighing, "It's not easy to raise it to such a big age, and if you say it's lost, it's lost." ”

"How did you lose the child?" who took him?" Ling'er asked again.

"I heard that he was secretly taken away at night. As for who took the child, everyone agreed that it was from Beifeng Village!" said the shopkeeper Wu.

"Niu Da said that Beifeng Village trafficked people, is it true?" Zhong Long interjected.

"Why do you think that the people from Beifeng Village have captured the child?" Ji Cangyu asked the shopkeeper Wu.

"That's what Lao Wang said himself, and I don't know what he said. But everyone felt that what he said was reasonable and convincing. Shopkeeper Wu said.

"Then I'll have to go to Lao Wang's house and ask later. Ji Cangyu said.

At that time, everyone was upset about the old Wang family and persuaded him to settle accounts with the people in Beifeng Village. Maybe Lao Wang was timid and afraid, and after hesitating for a long time, he still didn't dare to go to Beifeng Village. Shopkeeper Wu said.

"At this time, you should go to Beifeng Village to take the child back!" Zhong Long said indignantly.

"You don't know about the situation of the old Wang family. Lao Wang, his son and daughter-in-law are gone, and he and his wife are the only ones in the family. You let a weak old man go to Beifeng Village to make trouble, so that he will be sent to death!" said the shopkeeper Wu.

"This situation can really only be done in a hurry!" Zhang Ziran sighed.

"If you just lose a child, it's not enough to make the whole village tremble, right?" Gong Ming asked.

"Not bad. What scares us is what happens later. Shopkeeper Wu recalled, "After the grandson of the old Wang family was lost, several children were also lost. These families are different from the situation of the old Wang family, and there are strong men in the family, so they went to Beifeng Village to discuss the law and have children, who knew that the people in Beifeng Village did not admit it, and drove everyone back. ”

"And then?" Zhong Long couldn't help but ask.

"If you lose your own child, how can you give up so easily? There is a couple who went to Beifeng Village to have a child the next day, but the result is ......," Wu said, shook his head, and couldn't bear to continue.

"How dare they kill someone?" Ji Cangyu said angrily.

"They didn't just kill people! That couple died so miserably!" the shopkeeper Wu shook his head as he remembered what had happened.

"Is there any royal law here!" Zhang Ziran said.

Shopkeeper Wu continued: "Of course, everyone believes that there is a royal law, so they want to go to the yamen to complain. But it's also going to die one by one, and one dies worse than the other!"

"Was he killed on the way to complain?" Ji Cangyu asked with a frown.

"Yes, right at the entrance of that village! In the future, if anyone is upset about the affairs of those children, they will die a tragic death. That's a living life!" Shopkeeper Wu said sadly.

Zhong Long couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he heard this, he was still here and said that he was going to kill Beifeng Village, and he wouldn't be the next one to die tragically, right?

"This is the reason why the villagers are panicking, and why does the outside world only know that bandits are rampant in Gaoyakou Village, but they don't know that so many boys have been arrested?" asked Ji Cangyu.

"Yes! If it weren't for the old man, he believed that the owner of Jizhuang would definitely get rid of Beifeng Village for us, and the old man wouldn't dare to say much. Shopkeeper Wu said.

"Except for Beifeng Village? So many lives may be what Teng Fei dares to do! Ji can only guarantee that this kind of thing will never happen again in the future!" Ji Cangyu said.

Shopkeeper Wu was still a little uneasy, not that he didn't believe in Ji Cangyu, but that he felt that only by completely eradicating Beifeng Village could he feel at ease.

Seeing that Ji Cangyu didn't ask again, Ling'er took the opportunity to ask, "Are those lost children also teenage boys?"

"It's all boys, but some are big and some are small. Shopkeeper Wu replied.

Isn't it? Ling'er suddenly wondered if the arrest of these boys had something to do with Xiao Yizi, and the boy who fell off the cliff in place of Xiao Yizi was one of them. But hearing what Shopkeeper Wu said, Ling'er was not so sure.

Shopkeeper Wu said: "If you want to say that these children have anything in common, it is that they are almost so tall. Shopkeeper Wu said and measured the height with his hand.

Ling'er was shocked, isn't this height exactly the height of Xiao Yizi? Could this matter really be related to Xiao Yizi's arrest, that is to say, it was done by Mrs. Piaopiao!

Ling'er glanced at Xu Jun quietly, only to see him sitting on the side with his hands on his cheeks, his face expressionless.

Then, Ji Cangyu took everyone to Lao Wang's house.

Lao Wang guessed that Ji Cangyu was here for his precious grandson, so he quickly led the people out of the courtyard and covered the door.

"The old woman can't stand the stimulation, so she can only grieve you to talk outside. Lao Wang explained.

"It doesn't matter. We came here to ask why you thought it was Beifeng Zhai who had captured Ling Sun. Ji Cangyu said straight to the point.

Because the old man remembers the situation clearly. On that day, it happened to be Beifeng Zhai who came to collect protection money, and it was the second master of Beifeng Zhai who went to the old man's house to collect money. He saw my Ming'er playing there, and deliberately went over to tease him, and when he was about to leave, he said that Ming'er was very cute, and asked Ming'er if he wanted to go to Beifeng Village with him to play. Lao Wang said.

"What else?" asked Ji Cangyu again.

Lao Wang shook his head.

"Just because he said these words, do you think that Beifeng Village captured the child?" Ji Cangyu asked with a frown.

"Isn't this enough?" Lao Wang roared bitterly, "He took a fancy to my Ming'er being well-behaved and cute, so he took him away at night! If it weren't for the fear that the old woman would be alone and unaccompanied, the old man would have rushed to Beifeng Village to fight with them!"

Ji Cangyu was about to comfort him a few words, when he heard a heart-rending cry from the room.

Lao Wang hurriedly wiped the tears from his eyes and rushed into the house to coax his wife.

Ji Cangyu looked at the other people helplessly and said, "This black pot in Beifeng Village is really wronged!"

"Does the owner of Jizhuang think this is a coincidence?" Gong Ming asked, "Will anyone want to blame Beifeng Village?"

"You mean Jinniuzhai?" Ji Cangyu asked with an eyebrow.

"Well, apart from Jinniu Village, who else would want to get rid of Beifeng Village?" Gong Ming said as a matter of course.

Ji felt that there might be a third-party force behind this incident, and what they tried to hide might not be just the boy's arrest. Ji Cangyu put forward his own ideas.

"It seems to be getting more and more complicated. Gong Ming frowned.

"So what should we do?" Zhong Gong asked.

Ji Cangyu said: "Go directly to Beifeng Village to ask clearly!"

Zhong Long couldn't help but swallow again, he was no longer the person who was ready to do a big job.

"This matter has to be considered in the long run. Let's go back to the inn first!" Ji Cangyu said, and left Lao Wang's house first.
