Chapter 889 Killing Two Birds With One Stone (Fifth Watch)

"Even snatching the little beggar's things, that kind of person should be taught a lesson, why don't you let me chase?"

Luo Fengtang was puzzled.

Yang Ruoqing whispered something in his ear.

Luo Fengtang understood, nodded, handed the bundle in his hand to Yang Ruoqing, and chased after him again.

Looking at his figure running away, Yang Ruoqing curled her lips slightly.

Just now she deliberately let that man run away.

The purpose is to follow the clues and see where he is going.

From Wanghai County to Huguang County, the number of beggars has multiplied along the way.

She felt that there was something hidden in it.

Turning around, her eyes fell on the little boy on the ground behind her.

He had already struggled to sit up, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and there was a cut on his exposed arm, bleeding.

"Don't move, I'll help you stop the bleeding."

She said softly, squatting down beside him.

The little boy resisted a little, then gave up.

He looked at her timidly, not daring to move, allowing her to treat the wound for himself.

"The person who beat you was your father?" Yang Ruoqing asked while dealing with it.

The little boy frowned and shook his head: "That's not true, my father died of illness a long time ago."

"Then who is he to you?" She asked again.

The little boy lowered his head and said in a low voice, "He is in charge of us."

"What do you mean by someone who takes care of you?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

The little boy said: "When we came to beg on the street, he brought us here. All the money we got from begging should be handed over to him."

hiss……

Yang Ruoqing frowned.

Are these little beggars really controlled?

"You gave him the money to please him, why did he still beat you?" She continued to ask.

The little boy bit his lips: "My sister was sick and couldn't come out to beg for several days, so they let her starve."

"I hid a steamed stuffed bun and wanted to bring it back for my sister to eat..."

Yang Ruoqing understood.

Such a loving little brother.

"Where do you live with your sister?" she pressed.

The little boy thought for a while: "In a big manor, the walls are so high that we can't get out. There are many, many children..."

"Where is that manor? In the city or outside the city?" she asked again.

The little boy looked blank: "I don't know, every time we go out to beg, we always go out in a carriage with our eyes blindfolded, and they put us down on the street..."

Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing became more certain of her guess.

There are many little beggars suddenly appearing on the street, and there is a criminal gang behind them.

Even the beggar man who threatened Brother Xu Mang's daughter last time was also a member of this gang.

hateful!

While she was thinking, the little boy in front of her stood up while leaning on the wall.

He picked up his dog-beating stick and the broken bowl from a puddle of smelly water on the side, and limped towards the entrance of the alley.

"Where are you going?" Yang Ruoqing immediately stood up and asked him.

"If you want, I can help you out of their control," she said.

The little boy turned around, gave her a grateful look, and shook his head.

"Thank you for your kindness, sister. I can't leave. My sister will not be taken care of when I leave."

After saying this, the little boy turned around and left the alley.

When Yang Ruoqing followed him out, he was already begging along the street.

Seeing the thin figure walking away, Yang Ruoqing felt uncomfortable.

What a responsible little brother, willing to give up his freedom for the sake of his sister.

A twisted melon is not sweet, since he has his own choice, she can't forcibly interfere.

What's more, if he was saved, there are still a lot of little beggars outside who are being manipulated by that gang of criminals.

If you want to cure the symptoms, you have to start from the source.

Soon, Luo Fengtang came back.

"How is it? Did you find anything after tracking?" Yang Ruoqing asked quickly.

Luo Fengtang looked a little dignified.

"I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as it looks on the surface." He said.

"I followed the man all the way to the river, and suddenly, a cold arrow shot over."

"I dodged it, and when I came back to my senses, I realized that the target of the cold arrow was actually the man who was running away." He said.

A look of surprise flashed across Yang Ruoqing's eyes.

"So, it's... silence again?"

"So, maybe we were discovered by people hiding in the dark when we were fighting injustice in the alley."

she pondered.

At that moment, she was irritated by the scene of the man beating the child, and ignored the nearby stalking.

"The other party probably guessed our intentions, so he killed the man first and cut off the clue!" she said.

Luo Fengtang said: "I think so too, if it is true, then this matter will be a bit tricky."

Yang Ruoqing nodded.

Along the way, both of them were cautious.

Although they couldn't feel that there was someone following behind them, just to be on the safe side, the two of them walked around the street for a long time before returning to the inn.

It happened that Zuo Junmo was also there, so Yang Ruoqing told Zuo Junmo about it.

After Zuo Junmo heard it, he guessed the same as them.

"There hasn't been a famine in this area for several years. It is impossible that there will be so many beggars, and they are all children."

Zuo Junmo said.

"Nine times out of ten, these children are controlled by some evil organizations to make money."

"I'll send someone to inquire, maybe we can find out something." He said.

……

In the mansion of Peng Xianwei.

"Master Peng, what did the higher-ups say?"

Standing in front of Lieutenant Peng's desk with his back arched, he looked at Lieutenant Peng who was reading a letter, and asked eagerly.

Lieutenant Peng put down the paper in his hand and leaned back.

His fingers tapped the armrest of the chair lightly, as if he was thinking.

Pang Dashan hurriedly picked up the paper on the table and glanced at ten lines.

After reading it, he raised his head, stunned.

"The meaning of the master is to take everything here..."

Pang Dashan used his palm as a knife and made a beheading gesture.

Lieutenant Peng nodded slightly, acquiescing to the question of the great man.

"Things here have revealed their flaws. The master is displeased and plans to give up here."

Peng Xianwei said slowly.

The great man wiped the sweat off his face with his hand, and said, "This is a big job. There are hundreds of little beggars on the street alone, and there are also abducted women."

"Killing so many in one go, there will definitely be a commotion, and the commotion can't be small!" He said.

County Captain Peng glanced at Pang Pang, "They're all a bunch of untouchables. Their lives are worthless. If you kill them, you'll kill them."

"This is the meaning of the master. Whatever the master asks us to do, we must do it! How dare you resist?"

"Don't dare!" Pang Dashan shook his head hastily, the fat on his cheeks trembling.

Give him ten guts, and he wouldn't dare to disobey his master's will!

"Master Peng, just give me orders, this subordinate will be the executioner!" He hurriedly said.

Lieutenant Peng smiled with satisfaction: "Don't worry, people must be killed, but you have to pay attention to how to kill them."

The so-called teaching is famous, and the name is justified, so that we can stand on the commanding heights of morality.

"I have an idea here, you might as well listen to it!"

Lieutenant Peng called Pang Pang, a good man, to him, whispered something in a low voice, and made a few gestures with his fingers.

When Pang Dashan heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and his whole body became excited.

"Wonderful, wonderful, Mr. Peng's plan to kill two birds with one stone is really wonderful!"
