Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1400, Cracking down on beggars

In the capital, the sky is just getting bright, when the cold wind is howling and snowflakes are flying.

In the square outside the railway station, a four-wheeled carriage came, and a few beggars in ragged clothes got out of the car. These beggars opened the carriage behind the four-wheeled carriage very skillfully, and gave a child who was only seven or eight years old. Hold down.

The child's eyes were stabbed blind, his hands and feet were man-made, and he was very miserable. The beggar put the child on the ground and put a broken clay pot on it. A hat given by a kind person was taken away.

This thing covers the little beggar's eyes and face, and it will be warmer with a hat, so that it doesn't look so pitiful.

The four-wheeled carriage left quickly, and a similar child was put down a little further away, and a clay pot was also placed on it.

In this way, one child after another was continuously put down, in crowded squares, streets, stadium gates and other places.

The howling cold wind and the falling snowflakes made these blind and immobile children shivering from the cold. People passing by couldn't bear to see them. Some people even took off their coats to cover these children.

"These people should all be executed in a hurry, and the nine clans will be exterminated!"

On the teahouse opposite the train station, Zhu Houzhao clearly saw the scene in front of him with a telescope, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth and clenched his fists.

He has seen the poverty of Daming, and he has also seen people starved to death, but this is the first time he has seen such a dirty and dark side.

These beggar gang members even specifically abduct children, and then make them look like they are human, ghost or not, in order to win people's sympathy and beg.

It is simply heinous and vicious.

Killing people is nothing more than nodding their heads, but these people are even more hateful than killing people.

"He deserves to be put to death!"

Liu Jin on the side also nodded solemnly.

Liu Jin is also a father himself, and has his own children, so this is the kind of thing he hates the most.

Think about the future generations, those abducted children, their parents were heartbroken and spent their entire lives looking for their children, most of them never heard from them, and they never found their children again.

Even if they find their own children, they often no longer recognize themselves, but get closer to the adoptive parents who bought them with money. As for those human traffickers, they take the money from buying and selling children to enjoy themselves, even if they are killed. If caught, the punishment is often very light.

This makes the traffickers extremely rampant, and some even dare to rob children directly from their parents, and rob people directly in broad daylight.

Liu Jin has always felt that the criminal laws of later generations are too light in this regard, which is why human traffickers are rampant. Even if they are caught and sentenced, it usually only takes a year or two, and the fines are several thousand or tens of thousands. What kind of punishment is this?
We must know that once a family loses its own child, basically the whole family will collapse. I don’t know how many families have been ruined because of this.

Looking at the poor and innocent children in front of him, Liu Jin felt that Ling Chi's execution was really appropriate for them.

"Xiao Jing, pass on the order and close the net~"

Zhu Houzhao's face was stern, and he said coldly to Xiao Jing who was following behind.

This time, in order to severely crack down on the black and evil forces of the Beggar Gang, Emperor Hongzhi directly dispatched the power of the factory guards to let the factory guards first find out the situation of the Beggar Gang in the entire capital and Tianjin.

It may seem pitiful to be ready to dump these in one pot, but in fact he is the most hateful person in the world.

"Yes, Your Highness~"

Xiao Jing nodded quickly, and nodded to the factory guards beside him, and the people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei immediately started to act.

Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao watched carefully with binoculars.

I saw that the square of the train station was already crowded with people, and many migrant workers waiting to return home gathered together.

In the past few days, Yin Linpan of Shuntian Prefecture has done some things. He has organized many officials and servants to come here to maintain order at the scene. At the same time, he also drives away those who are performing arts in the rivers and lakes. Those who jumped in line went straight to the back, which made the order here a lot better.

The begging children also attracted a lot of people to watch. From time to time, some people came forward to give a few pennies, and the broken clay pots were already full. Wei's men were dispatched.

These factory guards disguised as ordinary people attacked almost at the same time, and caught these beggar gang members with lightning speed.

Of course, it's not just these beggars, there are also some pretending to be beggars and stealing in the gang. Once the factory guards stare at them, none of them can escape.

I saw that in the huge square here, in a very short period of time, members of the beggar gang were arrested one after another, and the people around felt strange. It was not until the factory guards turned over the sign of the factory guards that they knew it was the factory. Wei's people are handling the case.

In crowded places such as train stations, stadiums, racetracks, commercial streets, etc., scenes of exhaustion were constantly being staged. In a very short period of time, a large number of beggar gang members were arrested.

At the same time, in a warehouse in the southern district of the capital, many high-level members of the beggar gang were gathering together, each with a woman in their arms, drinking and eating hot pot, and chatting happily.

"Brother, it's still easy to make money here in the capital. You can't make a hundred thousand taels of silver this year."

"That's right, the people here in the capital are too rich, and some people throw out more than a dozen taels of silver casually without blinking an eye."

"It's nothing for us to earn this little silver a year. Only those who open factories and commercial banks make money. I heard that some big factories can earn several million taels of silver a year."

"It's nothing compared to them. They live on their sunny road, and we walk on our single-plank bridge. Anyway, as long as there is money, life will be easier."

"That's, that's~"

"Second brother, can your human-faced snake work?"

"Yeah, more than a dozen have been killed. If it really doesn't work, forget it."

"Of course it's fine. Isn't it just a dozen dead chickens and ducklings? There are plenty of them everywhere. If they're gone, just go get some back."

"You don't know that those who can perform and play in public, they can perform in any place, and after one performance, they can get dozens of taels of silver."

"Once I get this human-faced snake out, I will definitely make a lot of money at that time. At that time, we will open another one in the capital dedicated to watching all kinds of strange performances, such as human-faced snakes, treasures, etc. The bottle girl and the like are all brought out, making money, and selling tickets will be enough for us to lie down and collect money every day."

"The second child has brains, and he was the one who said he came to the capital."

"Yes, yes~"

Several people were chatting about their future plans while drinking and eating meat. In the nearby cages, dozens of children were shivering from the cold, and their eyes were dimmed from hunger.

They use this method to torture these children, calling them tame, obedient, and dare not have the slightest reaction, even if their biological parents are around, these children may not dare to admit it.

Afterwards, these children were trained to become thieves, who specialized in stealing things, some of them miserably got out to beg, and some were like the children in several jars on the side.

The hands and feet were chopped off and placed in a small jar, leaving only a small head outside; others glued snake skin to their bodies and put fake snake tails on them to make pots. Adult face snakes, bottle girls and the like.

"Bang~"

At this time, with a loud noise, the door of the warehouse was pushed open, and hundreds of factory guards rushed in all at once.

Some of these people didn't have time to react, some wanted to escape quickly, and some picked up their swords and wanted to kill them, but all of them were in vain.

In just a few minutes, all of them were taken down, and the five flowers were tightly bound.

"Who are you?"

Qiao Feng, the leader of the beggar gang (cough, I don’t want to think of other names, I hope it won’t remind you of His Majesty Jin Yong’s Qiao Gang leader) struggled hard, looking at these people in front of him with terrified eyes.

"Who are we?"

At this time, Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin walked over with a cold snort.

Looking at the leader of the beggar gang in front of him, and then looking at the children locked in cages in the warehouse, and those innocent children who were tortured to look like human beings.

"Pry open his mouth, don't let him bite his tongue and kill himself."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were red, like a bloodthirsty beast, looking at these beggar gang members, wishing to kill them all now.

"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and your retribution is coming!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Liu Jin couldn't bear to watch it.

That's horrible!
Especially those children who have been tortured and disabled by the farmers, I really can't bear to look at their miserable images, and looking at the beggars in front of them, it seems that they have seen the demons in the world.

"Everyone, everyone, I have something to discuss, something to discuss~"

"If we snatched your territory, you can make your way."

"If there is something wrong with me, we are willing to kowtow to make amends. We have money, and we are willing to give money."

Qiao Feng looked at the murderous people in front of him, and when he heard their words, he immediately kowtowed to apologize.

He was really panicking this time, and he had never encountered such a thing before. He was even taken away by someone without a trace. It seemed that they didn't intend to give him a good time.

"Silver, you should keep your silver and bring it to the underworld for use."

Zhu Houzhao said coldly: "If you do all the bad things and lose your conscience, death will not let you die easily!"

　Do you think the current law in this area is too light?
