The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 666 Human Traffickers

The only thing that seemed a bit out of place was that Cai Si's figure was not as thin as ordinary beggars, but rather weak.

Instead, through the holes in his clothes, he could see the strong muscles on his body.

It looks very abnormal!

It was obvious that he was not a serious beggar.

But a human trafficker!

The reason for dressing up as a beggar is for the convenience of committing crimes.

And get away after committing a crime!

Don't look at Cai Si's desperation now that he needs to hide under the eaves to avoid the rain, he used to be brilliant.

Among the tens of thousands of beggars in Nanjing City, he used to be able to be called famous.

However, with the generous relief from the Ming court to resettle the refugees and beggars in Nanjing, Cai Si's life suddenly became difficult.

Almost all of his subordinates were forcibly taken away for work-for-relief and scattered resettlement.

In the huge city of Nanjing, eighty to ninety percent of all kinds of refugees and beggars disappeared at once, and the remaining Cai Si and others lived in hiding in Tibet in order to avoid the court's search.

However, what made Cai Si feel unacceptable the most was not that all his subordinates were forcibly taken away and resettled.

But after all his subordinates were taken away, he suddenly couldn't continue his job as a trafficker.

One is because all the subordinates have been captured and there is a shortage of manpower.

The second reason is that as the beggars and refugees in Nanjing City were cleaned up, the law and order in Nanjing City suddenly improved a lot.

Under the light, ghosts and monsters naturally have nowhere to hide!
Naturally, there will be fewer dirty things in the dark.

Now Cai Si is full of resentment towards Zhu Hongyu's good governance in resettling refugees and beggars.

You are the emperor!

Isn't it supposed to come out when there is nothing to do, levy exorbitant taxes, rob people's daughters, trust eunuchs, build palaces... such a thing?
You are so thankless, what is the point of resettling refugees and beggars?

With resentment towards the emperor in his heart, Cai Si put on a coir raincoat for himself, got into the heavy rain without looking back, and was about to go home for dinner.

He was running in the heavy rain wearing straw sandals, and his feet were in the icy rain, which was no different from not wearing shoes.

The hem of the clothes was also soaked in the rain in the blink of an eye and became wet.

The drenched clothes stuck to the person, accompanied by a gust of cold wind, Cai Si couldn't help shrinking his neck.

pat!pat!
Cai Si ran on the street, stepping on puddles, and the rain splashed everywhere.

While Cai Si was running forward with his head buried, there were other people running wildly on the street.

A middle-aged man in rustic clothes was running wildly with shoes in his hand.

A young scholar held an umbrella, rolled up his books and stuffed them in his arms, and ran wildly.

What surprised Cai Si was that the speed of these two people running was even faster than that of a human trafficker who often runs around.

In the blink of an eye, the two ran behind Cai Si.

In the next moment, the two of them shot at Cai Si, one left and one right, and rushed towards Cai Si.

Cai Si was suddenly attacked, and he couldn't react at all. His face was full of shock, and he was pushed to the ground.

In the streets and alleys in all directions, patrolmen wearing police uniforms rushed out one after another.

Clang!
The sound of the long knife coming out of the body is very pleasant in the heavy rain.

In just a moment, Cai Si was covered in a big man, and was held around his neck by several long knives.

The sharp blade pressed against the skin of his neck!
A clear layer of cold sweat emerged from Cai Si's forehead.

Looking at the arresters around him, he felt a chill in his heart, knowing that something about himself might have happened.

But on the bright side, he still pretended to be calm, trembling and pretending to be nervous, and asked.

"Officer... What is the officer doing?"

"Small, small people are good people, good people!"

"..."

The head catcher was wearing a coir raincoat and a straw hat, squatted down beside Cai Si, reached out and patted Cai Si's face lightly, and said in a cold tone.

"Stop pretending, something happened to you!"

The rain dripped down the brim of the straw hat, onto Cai Si's face and body.

Cai Si was pressed to the ground, his whole body was soaked by the cold rain, and the expression on his face gradually became frightened and desperate.

Because Cai Si knew that based on the crimes he had committed, as long as he was caught, he would be able to deserve the fault of beheading.

He might even be awarded an opportunity to go to Tai Hospital to contribute to the medical progress of Ming Dynasty.

……

Nanjing City, Chengtian Mansion Yamen!

In the interrogation room, a middle-aged man dressed in ordinary clothes was sitting on an interrogation chair with a frightened expression on his face.

And opposite him, sat a Ming official wearing official robes.

Judging from the style of the official robe, it was Dong Yuanfeng, the Yin of the Chengtian Mansion of the Ming Dynasty.

Dong Yuanfeng's fingers kept tapping on the table, and the expression on his face made people look a little unfathomable.

The middle-aged man was sitting on the interrogation chair, writhing his body constantly, his uneasiness and fear were almost visible to the naked eye.

Finally, the middle-aged man couldn't hold back anymore and asked.

"This... my lord, you promised me that as long as I confess honestly, it will be regarded as atonement. You won't lie to me, will you?"

Dong Yuanfeng didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, and said in a calm tone.

"You voluntarily surrendered, and now you have redeemed your crimes, so you are naturally different from others!"

"If the officer promises you, of course you can't do it falsely!"

The middle-aged man, surnamed Xu and named Goudan, was once a beggar and a member of Cai Si's criminal group.

Of course, he is not an important person, just a little boy who is responsible for letting the children out when Cai Si and others steal the child.

When the Ming court resettled the refugees and beggars in Nanjing according to Zhu Hongyu's wishes, Xu Goudan was one of those refugees and beggars who were resettled.

After Xu Goudan found out that he could still have enough to eat even if he left Cai Si's criminal group, he decisively broke off contact with Cai Si and others.

I no longer want to get involved with Cai Si and others!
However, after that, Xu Goudan did not get the happy life he imagined.

After finishing his work every day and lying on the bed after eating, the children who were abducted and taken away under his accompaniment would appear in his mind...

Some children were sold to brothels and forced to start a flesh and blood business.

Some were sold to rich families as slaves, and they were separated from their families forever.

However, this is still lucky!
Those who are really miserable are those children whose hands and feet are broken and used as tools for begging.

The hands and feet of these children were interrupted, and they would not be healed at all. The limbs that had grown up were twisted and rotted, and they were extremely miserable.

As long as Xu Goudan closes his eyes every night, his conscience is still intact, he can seem to see those children with severed arms and legs, howling and screaming at him, accusing him of crimes...

At this time, he will be awakened from his sleep!

And then I couldn't fall asleep no matter what!
