When dozens of white, tender, but frightened children were taken out, the whole street was in a commotion!
"What, this troupe is actually a group of human traffickers?"
"This is such a bastard!"
"Children are kidnapped and trafficked, and both humans and gods are outraged! It's really unjust and unforgivable!"
"I have known for a long time that they are not good people. They are sneaking around all day long and making people suspicious!"
"The consciences of these people have been eaten by dogs!"
The public opinion of the people around him immediately changed!
Human hearts are made of flesh. No matter whether people are rich or poor, they all want their children to be healthy and grow up happily. No one wants their children to be abducted!
Zhen Shiyin in "A Dream of Red Mansions" had a mental change because her child was abducted, and she became a Taoist priest.
Therefore, in the blink of an eye, this team immediately became the target of thousands of people.
Not only was the surrounding people shocked, but Feng Zhou led the government officials to bring the traffickers and abducted children back to the government office.
As a result, the entire Shuntian Mansion was in shock!
This is like destroying a human trafficker's den! A group of human traffickers were arrested and more than 20 abducted children were rescued. This achievement can be said to be huge!
And it is a great achievement of supreme merit!
Even Zhang Qingbo, the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture who had never dared to get involved, was shocked by it.
If all such achievements are extrapolated, I'm afraid Zhang Qingbo will become the laughing stock of the world!
So as soon as he received the news, he showed up to speak and greatly praised Feng Zhou, the prime minister!
Under everyone's fiery eyes, he not only announced a huge prize, but also asked everyone to keep up their efforts and strive to return Shuntian Mansion to a bright future!
You know, human traffickers usually abduct children from wealthy families.
Firstly, it is because they are raised to be white and tender, making them easy to sell.
Secondly, it can also be sold at a good price.
So once you find the child’s parents’ family, that’s a huge network!
Being able to forge a good relationship with such a powerful family will be unlimited for the development of yourself and your family!
Feng Zhou personally sat in charge, and during twelve hours of non-stop interrogation, he quickly obtained a large amount of criminal evidence from this group of traffickers on the sale and robbery of children. The number of children sent away and bought by them turned out to be no less than hundreds. It was simply
shocking.
Feng Zhou wrote these charges into the memorial and handed it to Zhu Qizhen's desk before the morning court.
"Crazy, really crazy!"
When Zhu Qizhen saw the content in the memorial, Long Yan was furious immediately! He was also furious at the court meeting and issued a reply demanding that Shuntian Mansion investigate to the end and not tolerate it. Anyone who dares to stop him will be killed without mercy!
The civil and military officials throughout the dynasty were all well-informed people, so naturally they would not get into trouble at this time. Even those officials who liked to contradict the emperor did not open their mouths at this moment.
Because they know that offending the emperor can make them famous. If they offend the family power behind those children, they are afraid that they will die without a burial place!
Of course, Feng Zhou would not give up. With the emperor's affirmation, he stepped up his interrogation of the criminal facts of human trafficking in Xiangqing Class, and based on the information revealed by the criminals, followed the clues to catch all the human traffickers involved.
The Ming Dynasty was peaceful for nearly a hundred years. Except for the battle to defend the capital ten years ago, the capital has always enjoyed peace. Therefore, evil elements of all sizes have reared their heads. Over the years, they have gradually formed a large-scale industry and are spread throughout the city.
Outside the city, they have a clear division of labor and a tight organization, and their crime areas have spread throughout several northern provinces.
The Shuntian Government Office acted quickly and quickly arrested dozens of other criminals related to the crime, and at the same time rescued nearly ten children who had just been robbed.
The case has only just begun when it reaches this point.
After all, human traffickers are just an upstream industry.
As the saying goes, without demand, there is no business.
No buying and selling, no harm!
Those midstream and downstream industries are much larger and more powerful than some human traffickers!
After all, they are the ones who make the most money.
The so-called benefits move people's hearts. Some people with evil intentions can do anything for benefits.
Soon, Feng Zhou personally led the team and rushed directly to a well-known brothel in the capital. He escorted the madam and the girls inside to the hall and beat the guests who dared to cause trouble with sticks.
All of a sudden, everyone, whether they were gentry or scholars, was rushed into the hall and watched by hundreds of soldiers with guns. Feng Zhou led the government officials to open boxes and cabinets, smashing them everywhere, looking for the girls.
Each of the government officials held a stack of information in their hands, which included the physical characteristics of the abducted girls.
Seeing this, the old bustard suddenly turned pale and trembled all over.
Although there is a big boss behind the Chunlou where they are located, and he has a very high status, once a child abduction and trafficking occurs, the big boss behind him will immediately throw the madam out as a scapegoat without blinking an eye.
Although there were some thorns shouting in the hall, Feng Zhou didn't care. His purpose was not to demolish the brothel and cause a conflict with the big boss behind them.
As long as we seize the matter of "child abduction and trafficking" and don't let it go, the big boss behind it, even if it is the British government, will cease to exist at this time.
Even if it is the Southeast King or the Taiping King, if he is offended, he will be overthrown immediately!
However, those who can open a brothel are all good people, and they will not stand up on the pole and stick out their faces to be slapped at this time, so after Feng Zhou thoroughly tortured the brothel, he left with the traffickers and girls.
In one night, he raided seven brothels, rescued nearly a hundred abducted girls, and arrested dozens of stewards who were doing business with human traffickers. The whole capital was completely shocked...
But what's quite strange is that despite all his efforts, no one in charge of the matter "has heard about it".
It was probably a sensitive moment and I was afraid of getting into trouble!
But Feng Zhou had no intention of stopping!
As the "Crackdown Operation" he carried out in Shuntian Prefecture continued, in addition to arresting a large number of illegal criminals, he also discovered some deeply hidden clues.
The big and small brothels, gambling houses, and backstage bosses in the capital are all high-ranking officials. They are either the Duke's Palace, the Marquis' Palace, or some other prince's palace.
Although most of the princes of the Zhu family are in the local area, it does not prevent them from opening a brothel in the capital and gathering information.
Of course, some people are on the surface, while others are very hidden. If Feng Zhou's intelligence network was not very powerful, the hidden connections would not have been discovered at all.
This is the most normal phenomenon!
As the saying goes, “If you want to be rich, be good at selling wine and vinegar”!
Wherever the emperor is, he is walking at his feet, where hundreds of officials gather, and a lot of money flows in every move. If you do business here, as long as you have a bright eye, you will definitely make a fortune.
Not to mention opening a brothel or gambling house?
The benefits are exciting. The speed at which these side businesses can make money, or in other words, amass money, is much faster than serious business.
Whether it is the big families who want to be rich and prosperous, the vassal kings from all over the country who want to collect information, or even the Southeast King and Taiping King who are thoughtful and thoughtful, they all want to achieve a great career.
And to succeed, all you need is talent and money.
When they are at this point, it is impossible to do without money!
If you want to maintain a wealthy life and win over a master like Ye Gucheng, it is absolutely impossible without money!
Feng Zhou also vaguely noticed some of the clues through a combination of investigations by the beggars gang and the government, but he didn't take it to heart.
As long as he can attack those criminals and get promoted step by step, then he won't bother to deal with these forces!
