"Actor Lan Xiang, pay my respects to my wife."
"You said you have something important to tell Mrs. Ben?"
Gu Jiu looked up and down, Lan Xiang standing in front of him.
She was as soft and beautiful as ever, but this time when they met, she was more firm.
Gu Jiu was very curious, why was he so firm? What does he want to do
"Exactly!"
Gu Jiu smiled, "The musician is your senior brother. I heard that something happened to him, and you just found Mrs. Ben at this time. Could it be that you want to intercede for your senior brother?"
"Of course not." Lan Xiang raised his head slightly, "If a villain asks for love, he should also ask the prince, not the madam."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Then Madam Ben really can't think of anything you can do when you come to see me."
Lan Xiang stared at Gu Jiu in a daze, a little presumptuously, and he said earth-shattering words in a soft voice.
"The villain has a way to help Madam put the Li family to death."
Gu Jiu's body froze obviously, obviously shocked by Lan Xiang's words.
But in a blink of an eye, she calmed down again.
She pretended to be casual and asked, "Which Li family are you talking about?"
Lan Xiang said with certainty, "Naturally, it's the Li family."
"Oh?" Gu Jiu looked at him with a half-smile, "You help me deal with the Li family? Isn't that right? As far as my wife knows, the Li family is involved in the Ma Zheng case, so they can't protect themselves. And you, a mere actor, you What qualifications do you have to deal with the Li family? Hitting a stone with a pebble is not a wise move."
Lan Xiang lowered his head and smiled, "Naturally, the villain is not so arrogant that he wants to hit a stone with an egg. The villain just wants to help Madam."
Gu Jiu shook her head slightly, "The case of the Li family has nothing to do with my wife. If you really have any clues, you should report the case to the Jinwu Guard."
Lan Xiang raised his head and looked at her, "Is Madam doubting the sincerity of the villain? Or is he doubting the villain's intentions? No one else knows about Madam's holiday with the Li family, but the villain still knows a thing or two.
This time the Li family is in trouble, it seems dangerous, but it may not be destroyed. But if there are clues provided by the villain, I dare not say anything else, it is still possible to peel off the Li family. "
Gu Jiu narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at Lan Xiang curiously.
"Are you really an actor?"
Lan Xiang smiled lightly, "If it's true, he is indeed an actor."
Gu Jiu said softly: "Intellect is pretty good."
"The villain has read a few books."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Tell me about your clue, Madam Ben will judge whether it is useful or not."
Lan Xiang stared at her, "Does Madam believe me?"
Gu Jiu shook her head, "It depends on what you said. I'm giving you this chance, and I hope you can grasp it."
Lan Xiang took a deep breath, "Ma'am, you know that there are a group of kidnappers in the capital. They cover up their identities as actors and actresses, but they are engaged in human trafficking in private. Adults and children, big girls and young wives, except for the elderly, they dare not kidnapped."
Gu Jiu frowned, "Continue talking."
Lan Xiang considered it for a while, and then said: "These kidnappers have traveled all the way from south to north these years. There are probably no fewer than ten thousand people who will be trafficked by them."
Gu Jiu stared at him, "Ten thousand people? Do you know what that means?"
But Lan Xiang said loudly: "Actually, the kidnappers will only talk more than the villains, and will not talk less than the villains.
Madam, do you know where the human beings they trafficked go? The children are sold to brothels all over the country, or to the homes of the rich and powerful. Adults were trafficked to Beirong and Xiliang as slaves.
As far as the villain knows, there is a secret route in the north. Over the years, they have used this route to traffic a large number of abducted people to Beirong Xiliang as slaves. "
"Is this true?"
Gu Jiu looked serious.
Human trafficking is not uncommon, and it is also not uncommon to traffic the abducted human beings to brothels, the homes of the rich and powerful. It is not uncommon to even be sold to a mine as a miner's slave.
This kind of thing hidden in the dark area has been unable to eradicate it since ancient times.
Think about it, in modern society, child abduction happens every year.
There are also those half-grown children who ran away in anger, and even adults who disappeared from the world, most of them were deceived and trafficked.
Maybe a disabled beggar on the street is the half-old child of 'your' family. Maybe the nameless corpse found somewhere is 'your' family member.
But trafficking human beings abroad as slaves is definitely a transnational human trafficking, which is a huge case.
Although they are essentially human trafficking, in the eyes of the court and the world, this is a completely different nature.
Trafficking people from Dazhou to Beirong, Xiliang, is seriously an enemy.
And how many people who were trafficked to foreign countries have a good end
Nine deaths is not an exaggeration.
"It's absolutely true!" Lan Xiang said with certainty.
Gu Jiu looked at him seriously, "How do you know these things?"
Lan Xiang bowed and said, "The villain has grown up in a theater troupe since he was a child, so he knows more or less the inside story."
"What is the relationship between what you said and the Li family?"
Lan Xiang said: "These kidnappers have been active in the capital area in recent years. As far as I know, they have always been backed by big people. The backer in the capital seems to be the Li family."
"It seems? So, you are not sure that the Li family of your relatives must have something to do with these kidnappers?"
"Yes! But the villain once heard his brother leak his words. He once mentioned the Li family and Concubine Li De. It seems that Concubine Li De was able to be favored smoothly after entering the palace, and they also put a lot of effort into it."
Gu Jiu's heart skipped a beat, "What you said is true?"
"The villain dare not lie to Madam."
Gu Jiu didn't fully believe it.
She asked: "For such an important matter, why didn't you report it directly to the lord, why did you come to find Mrs. Ben?"
Lan Xiang laughed, "Of course it's because the madam won't harm villains. As for the prince, the villain can't guarantee whether he will survive if he tells all of this."
Gu Jiu snorted, "If this word reaches the ears of the prince, it will definitely kill you."
Lan Xiang still smiled, "The villain believes that the madam will have reservations about the prince and save the villain's life."
"Why do you believe that Madam Ben won't harm you?" Gu Jiu asked casually.
Lan Xiang replied very seriously: "Intuition!"
Gu Jiu laughed, "You will thank you for your self-awareness. Ma Xiaoliu, take Lan Xiang down to watch. Without Mrs. Ben's order, no one is allowed to touch him. Pay special attention to his diet. Mrs. Ben doesn't want to hear until any accident happens."
"Little one obeys."
Lan Xiang took a deep look at Gu Jiu, then at Ma Xiaoliu.
Ma Xiaoliu glared at him, "Don't worry, I was not trafficked into the palace, I chose to enter the palace by myself. It has nothing to do with the kidnappers you mentioned, and I won't kill you."
Lan Xiang was embarrassed, "Thank you, Eunuch Ma."
"I'm sorry! Let's go this way."
Gu Jiu called Nanny Fang, "Go to the Bixi Pavilion for my wife, and tell the prince to spare the life of the musician. If the prince asks the reason, he will say that it is about the Li family. Go quickly."
She was worried that Nanny Fang was late and the musician was killed by the prince.
Immediately afterwards, she ordered Song Zheng to go to the Yamen to ask Liu Zhao to come back.
It is about a huge trafficking group, and it may even involve the palace, which is no longer something she can handle alone.
This matter must be brought forward by Liu Zhao.
…
Liu Zhao rode back to the palace.
"What's going on? What's wrong with you, do you want to call a doctor?"
He looked at Gu Jiu nervously. Hearing that she had something urgent to do, he thought she had an accident, so he hurried back on horseback.
Gu Jiu took his hand, "It's not about me, it's because there are new clues in the case of the Li family, and it may even involve the palace."
Then, Gu Jiu told Lan Xiang what he said one by one.
Liu Zhao was dumbfounded and frowned.
"He really said that?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "I don't think he is lying. You still need to come forward to find out this matter. I have already asked my father to save the life of the musician. In addition, I promised that Bao Lanxiang would not die. You can interrogate him, but you can't." torture."
Liu Zhao nodded, "I'll interrogate him personally. Don't worry, he won't be punished."
Liu Zhao interrogated Lan Xiang, closed the door, and interrogated Lan Xiang for a full two hours.
After that, Liu Zhao hurriedly went to see King Ning.
Chang En came out again and interrogated the musician himself.
In the evening of the same day, the guards of the palace were dispatched, rushed into the major theater troupes in the capital, and arrested people in the kilns.
This action quickly alarmed Xiuyiwei, Wucheng Bingmasi, Jing Zhaoyin, and Jinwuwei. Even the Prisoner of Shaofu is also asking about this matter.
Everyone asked one after another, why did King Ning go crazy and went to the theater troupe to arrest people, could it be that the theater troupe abducted the concubine of the palace
I have to say that everyone will think about it. And the association is very reliable.
Xiuyiwei and Jinwuwei entered the palace one after another and reported the matter to the emperor.
The emperor was furious, and reprimanded King Ning for being inferior to pigs and dogs, relying on his power to do anything wrong.
Order Ning Wang to go to the palace early the next morning to explain clearly.
Only one night.
The dungeon of the palace was lit all night.
Chang En went out to interrogate in person, no matter how hard his mouth was, he could not pass three tricks in his hands, so he had to confess honestly.
A string of lists surfaced.
Before dawn, Liu Zhao personally led people and arrested them according to the list.
Xiuyiwei refused to agree, this is job grabbing.
What qualifications does Prince Ning's Mansion have to arrest people in the capital
Is it true that the embroidered clothes guards eat dry food
Liu Zhao was very straightforward, "At this moment, there is a great achievement in front of us, involving a huge case. After it is done, the Embroidered Yiwei will be able to feel proud from now on, without the need for a short Jinwuwei. Master Xu is willing to seize the opportunity and accompany I arrest people together?"
Xu Xianzhi stared at Liu Zhao suspiciously, "What's the big case? Can you tell me a thing or two, so that the lower officials can know the risks."
Liu Zhao looked at him with a half-smile, "If you want to make great achievements, how can you not take risks. It depends on whether Master Xu has the courage."
"Young master didn't lie to the official?"
Liu Zhao didn't get angry and pretended to be arrogant, "My son has always said what he said. Whether Mr. Xu is willing or not, just say it."
Xu Xianzhi weighed left and right, Liu Zhao was well-known, although he was a bit risky, but thinking of his great achievements, he gritted his teeth and agreed, "I will trust you once as an official."
Liu Zhao was overjoyed.
With the participation of the Embroidered Clothes Guard, arresting people can be justified.
Embroidered clothes guards have the duty of arresting them.
There is a huge gang of kidnappers hidden in the capital, and their actions are appalling. Of course, the Embroidery Guards must be involved in such a big case.
It wasn't until Xu Xianzhi got involved that he realized that Liu Zhao hadn't lied to him.
It's really a big case, as long as it can be solved, it will be a great contribution to the sky.
At that time, the Jinwu Guard will be overwhelmed by the Xiuyi Guard.
It's just that at this moment, he still doesn't know that this big case also involves the Li family of his relatives, even the harem, and the transnational human trafficking.
If he had known, even if he had made great achievements, he would not have waded into this muddy water.
He was also confused by the credit in front of him, and didn't think deeply about the strangeness of this matter.
For a mere kidnapping case, there is no need for people from Prince Ning's Mansion to be mobilized.
Prince Ning's Mansion is not a fighter against kidnapping.
Prince Ning's Mansion will only come forward if there are enough interests and benefits.
When Xu Xianzhi learned the truth, he had already boarded the pirate ship and could not get off.
He could only hide in the toilet and weep against the wind, tossing with Prince Ning's mansion.
In the court hall, the censors discussed and impeached King Ning together.
King Ning was not stingy, as if a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. Regardless of whether you impeach him or not, he just wants to play a rogue and a hooligan.
After the morning court, he was called to the emperor, scolded and beaten, and King Ning responded with a playful smile.
He wanted to delay the time so that Liu Zhao would have enough time to dig deeper into the case.
Once this case is handed over to the emperor, what will happen will be out of his control.
So we must strive to make the case an iron case.
The emperor didn't know the truth, but only knew that Prince Ning's mansion was out of power.
The emperor sent Jinwu Guards to intercept Liu Zhao. To arrest Liu Zhao and interrogate him in the palace.
What qualifications does a mere prince's mansion have to arrest people in the capital? Who gave the right
This is a proper overreach.
The emperor can take this opportunity to seize the title of King Ning.
However, King Ning refused to say why he arrested people even after killing him, which aroused the curiosity of the emperor.
Don't be in a hurry to deal with King Ning, the emperor must first find out what happened.
This kind of feeling of knowing what happened, but being concealed by others is not good.
The emperor hated King Ning even more.
The Jinwu Guards were mobilized to arrest Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao and Xu Xianzhi acted separately, playing hide-and-seek with the Jinwu Guard in the huge capital city.
The Jinwu Guards couldn't find anyone, so they simply blocked the gate of the palace and prepared to sit back and wait.
Mrs. Pei didn't know the truth, so she was taken aback when she saw the Jinwu guard blocking the door.
She asked Gu Jiu to come to her, and asked, "What's going on? What happened to the boss again? Why did the Jinwu Guard come to the door?"
"Mother and concubine, don't be impatient, the matter will end soon."
"So you know what happened? You know, but this princess doesn't. What's the reason?"
Gu Jiu looked at her, "Mother Concubine really wants to know?"
"nonsense!"
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, "Young master is busy with something related to the Li family."
Pei's heart skipped a beat, "Why are you getting involved with the Li family again? Aren't the Li family all sent to jail?"
Gu Jiu said casually: "You can come out even after being ordered to jail. The concubine de concubine and the little prince are enough to keep the Li family alive."
Pei's mind was heavy, "Is the prince clear?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Without my father's consent, how could the young master mobilize the guards of the entire palace."
Pei frowned, "What's the situation now? Did Concubine Li De notice it?"
"Don't worry, Concubine De. Concubine De should not have noticed. As for the Jinwu guards blocking the door, don't bother with them, nothing will happen."
"It's fine if nothing happens."
It was getting dark.
The Jinwu Guards didn't even catch Liu Zhao's shadow, so they screamed angrily.
His Majesty ordered Liu Zhao to be arrested early in the morning, and Liu Zhao was brought to the palace for questioning. As a result, a whole day passed, and Liu Zhao was still missing.
When did the Jinwu Guard catch such a rookie
What should I do
The emperor asked how to make a difference.
"My lord, it's not good. Young Master Zhao and Xu Xianzhi, the embroidered clothes guard, will enter the palace to face the saint."
I rely on!
The Jinwu Guard turned pale with shock.
Tell Xiu Yiwei to take the lead, so it's still worth it.
Wei Zhong, the left guard of the Jinwu Guard, rushed to the palace in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the gate of Xingqing Palace, he heard the roar of the emperor coming from the main hall.
He summoned a small yellow gate and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Xiao Huangmen said in a low voice: "I heard that Young Master Chao and Xiu Yiwei have uncovered a major case together."
"What big case?"
As soon as Wei Zhong heard the word "big case", Wei Zhong tensed up all over his body.
It is the prerogative of the Jinwu Guard to investigate major cases. What qualifications does Embroidery Guard have to take the credit of Jin Wuwei
"I don't know yet." Xiao Huangmen said in a low voice.
Wei Zhong took a deep breath, which made it clear.
"Get in!"
In the main hall, the emperor let out a roar.
Wei Zhong walked into the hall in a frenzy.
Before he could speak, a stack of documents was thrown towards him.
"What do the Jinwu Guards do? There are such insane people hiding in the capital. After all these years, you Jinwu Guards haven't found out?"
Wei Zhong was very confused, knelt down to plead guilty, and took the opportunity to stare at the documents that fell on the ground.
kidnapper? Cross-border trafficking? Tens of thousands of people
Every word is not unusual, but together, this is a shocking case.
"Damn my minister!"
"Of course you deserve to die!"
