Feng Danyuan also frowned and said: "This can only prove the first thing. The taxes and grain paid by these more than a thousand households are far less than the money they can earn from their 'disappearance'."
Wei Zi was puzzled: "In modern times, people are very valuable. Taking their organs and selling them to the black market, coaxing them into committing crimes such as fraud, or even selling them directly is a big number."
"But today's ancient times are different. There is a huge gap between the price of goods and the price of people. If Yongchang had not exempted taxes and grains in the 26th year of Yongchang, then the Changhe County government would have to make up for this every year in order to conceal the disappearance of more than a thousand households.
To put it very sadly, this money is much more than selling people directly. What's more, in Yun State, human trafficking is a serious crime."
Wei Zi looked at Feng Danyuan: "I can't think of it for the moment. The Qinghe County magistrate did not hesitate to commit a serious crime and also wanted to make more than a thousand households disappear. What kind of business can make so much money?"
Feng Danyuan remained silent, with all the details of his arrival here flashing through his mind, and he slowly said: "Li Zheng from Qingquan Village said that the people in Baima Village disappeared overnight, but starting from Shuimo Village, first
The missing men are the men. The restaurant chef said that there are few men in the county, and the assistant cook said that his neighbor Zhou Dazhuang went out to make a living alone, and his wife and mother did not come with him."
Wei Zi understood immediately: "The other party wants a male!"
Feng Danyuan nodded and continued: "There are also incidents in several villages around Qingquan Village, but only Qingquan Village is safe for the time being..."
"Because they are poor?" Wei Zi answered his question.
"Poverty directly leads to thin body. If I were to choose a soldier, I would choose a strong man like Zhou Dazhuang." Feng Danyuan said.
"So, to be precise, the opponent's first choice is a strong man!" Wei Zi had a tacit understanding, and then thought of "catching strong men" and guessed: "They want strong men for fighting?"
Feng Danyuan said: "Generally speaking, it is true. But there are still doubts. We only roughly checked the missing persons situation in Changhe County. What about other counties and even other states? If this is the case in several border states, the missing people
The population is not a small number, so where have these people gone? Northern Xinjiang? Western Regions?"
"As far as I know, there has been no large influx of people from the Northern Xinjiang and Western Regions in recent years."
Wei Zi asked: "Apart from Northern Xinjiang and the Western Regions, is there no other place to go?"
"There's another place—"
"where?"
Feng Danyuan took the phone and turned to the map interface. His slender fingers landed on a place between Yun Kingdom, Suiye Kingdom in the Western Region and Northern Xinjiang: "Desert City."
Wei Zi felt that the name was inexplicably familiar, and quickly searched the memory in his mind before blurting out: "Where did you borrow a million troops and dig three feet into the ground to find Yu Manzhu?"
The corners of Feng Danyuan's lips curved, and he couldn't help but smile: "You grasped the key points quite accurately."
When he smiled, it was as bright as the moon, and Wei Zi couldn't help but be stunned.
The Feng Danyuan in front of him was different from the Crown Prince of Yan in the Yun Kingdom.
The Crown Prince of Yan, due to the early death of Princess Yan and the disagreement with the King of Yan since childhood, stumbled and grew from a child to the all-powerful first commander of the Yun Kingdom. He was unruly and cold-blooded and full of evil spirit.
