Feng Lingjun looked at the crying man sitting at the city gate with a look of shock on his face.
"gentlemen!"
The man who was crying was stunned, wiped the filth mixed with snot and tears on his face, looked at the old man and the young man approaching, and rushed forward as if he had grasped the last straw.
"Have you seen my oranges? I couldn't find them. I just tried to sell chickens to someone, and he disappeared!"
"I do not see it!"
Feng Lingjun shook his head, thinking of what he had just seen and heard, he also had a guess in his mind.
"Don't worry yet. Maybe the child just ran away. You should go to the Yamen to report the case first, and then search for it slowly. It's useless for you to sit here and cry."
The old man comforted the men in the same village, but all he could give was words of comfort.
"I have searched for him and reported the case to the Yamen. Now I can only stay here!"
"I'll go back to the village first, notify the villagers, and come over to help you find it!"
"Thank you sir!"
"We are all from the same village, how can we say thank you!"
After saying this, the old man squeezed his grandson's hand a little tighter, and then followed the flow of people and prepared to leave the city.
The gate of the city, which was usually accessible at will, became extremely tight at this time. The policemen held long knives in their hands and scanned the pedestrians who wanted to leave the city like hawks, focusing on observing the faces they did not recognize on weekdays.
Even those who know each other cannot escape the search. Any place where someone may be hiding will be stopped by the police and the search will be carried out strictly, and no one will be spared.
Naturally, Feng Bingwen and his grandson would not be stopped. The policeman at the city gate took one look and let them pass.
As soon as the grandfather and grandson left the city, they heard the barking of dogs behind them. Feng Bingwen turned his head and immediately saw a familiar donkey cart. This vehicle full of local dogs was also stopped, but because there was no one
There was a place where people could hide, and the police officers took a look at it and waved them away.
"Woof! Woof!"
In the donkey cart, a half-big yellow dog covered in bloodstains was also quite conspicuous. Feng Bingwen turned his head and met the eyes of the yellow dog. When he saw Feng Bingwen's eyes, the yellow dog looked at him again.
Howled wildly.
"Hey, old gentleman, young master, we meet again, what a coincidence!"
The sudden riot of yellow dogs made a man following the donkey cart notice the grandfather and grandson, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, but in Feng Bingwen's eyes, this smile was a bit sinister like a jackal.
"Well, what a coincidence!"
Feng Bingwen responded calmly, without any intention of talking to the dog dealers, and took his grandson away.
But I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but the group of dog dealers pulling the donkey cart also followed leisurely, seemingly walking on the same road as them.
"grandfather!"
Feng Bingwen noticed something was wrong and pulled the old man.
"Hurry home, your grandma has already prepared a meal and is waiting for us. Walk faster!"
The old man did not turn his head, but he pulled his grandson along and walked a little faster.
At this time, the donkey cart following behind gradually distanced itself, and after walking for a while, it was no longer visible.
"Grandpa, that group of people just now was very strange."
On the way home, Feng Bingwen thought about the group of dog dealers. He vaguely felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say it out loud.
"Um."
The old man had traveled abroad when he was young, and he also felt that something was wrong with the group of people just now, but he could not tell what was wrong.
"Grandpa, do you make a lot of money selling dog meat?"
Feng Bingwen thought about it for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked.
"I don't know about this either."
The old man was stunned by the question. He stayed for a while and shook his head.
"It should be a lot. Otherwise, if five people sell dog meat together and share the profits equally, if the money is not enough, there is no need to go all the way to collect the dogs from us."
Feng Bingwen noticed something strange. There were too many people selling dogs, but if the profits were huge, it could barely be explained.
"However, there are not many people raising dogs in Qingshan County. Where did they get so many dogs?"
Feng Lingjun also noticed something strange.
"Hey, you are indeed a scholar. Your brain can spin faster than those barbarians. After meeting us twice, you found something wrong."
The old man and the young man continued to communicate, but there was a discordant sound coming in from the roadside. The two stopped and saw three men emerging from the grass on the roadside. They blocked the middle of the road and spoke.
It was the man in the middle, the dog dealer who had apologized to them twice before.
"I wonder what you want to do by blocking the way?"
The old man frowned, stretched out his hand, and blocked his grandson behind him. At this time, he was approaching Fengjia Village. There were few people in Fengjia Village, and there was no sixth person on the road.
"Hey, old man, looking at your dress, you seem to be a scholar. You scholars have read a lot, are more knowledgeable, and are smarter than others. Why don't you guess what we want to do?"
The man in the middle had a joking smile on his face, completely losing the previous respect and humility, like a bloodthirsty wolf eyeing its prey.
"Don't you want to rob Tao? I have no money left and only have a few copper bahts. If you don't mind, you can take them."
Without saying much, the old man took out five copper coins and threw them on the ground.
"Old man, if you want to send us away with just these few copper coins, you must be thinking too much!"
Looking at the copper coins on the ground, the three of them looked at each other, and then burst into laughter. That arrogant attitude almost showed that I am not a good person on my face.
"There's nothing you can do about it if you think it's too little. I only have this little money!"
"Old man, please don't be modest. The boy behind you is worth at least a dozen silver bahts. If you can find a big merchant, you might as well sell it for one or two gold bahts."
The three people's plans suddenly appeared, revealing their true intention of blocking the road. As they spoke, the three people dispersed and surrounded the old man and the young man.
"How dare you abduct people in broad daylight!"
Feng Lingjun was shocked and angry, and took a few steps back. He didn't expect to encounter such a vicious and unscrupulous person.
"What's wrong with this!"
The three of them looked at the furious old man who looked like a gentleman in front of them and thought it was very funny.
"Aren't you afraid of the king's law? According to the laws of the Great Qian Dynasty, human trafficking must be punished immediately!"
"Wang Fa? Hehe, that's bullshit. If you want to chop off our heads, we have to catch him first."
As soon as the words fell, the three of them rushed forward, with the obvious target being the grandson who was blocked by the old man.
Feng Bingwen, an old and frail old scholar, was naturally not willing to accept his grandson being snatched away. He clenched his fists and stood up to resist. However, he was no match for the three assailants. As soon as he came into contact, he was knocked to the ground and suffered a nosebleed.
