Yunxi left Sanyuan Palace and planned to go to Guangxiao Temple immediately, but Song Liang suddenly came up with Song Qingshu and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report to Your Majesty."
"What's the matter?" Yunxi asked. Looking at their faces, he felt that it was not a good thing.
"Your Majesty, the guard Song Qingshu saw two kidnappers abducting a child, so he went to rescue the child who was about to be kidnapped. But he discovered that these two kidnappers were unusual."
…
…
After Song Qingshu saw someone trying to abduct a child, he told Song Liang that he was going to rescue the abducted child. This was because Yunxi had told him that if he met a kidnapper on the road and it was difficult to report to him, he could do it without disturbing the guards.
Under the circumstances, he went to rescue the abducted person without his permission, so Song Liang agreed to his request and asked him to rescue the abducted child.
Song Qingshu used Qinggong and quietly walked over to catch the two of them and rescue the child. But the two kidnappers were also very alert. When Song Qingshu was less than two feet away from the two of them, they realized that he was here to catch them.
He grabbed the child and threw it at him, then turned around and ran away.
Song Qingshu took the child with some hesitation: the two kidnappers seemed to have some martial arts skills and were more familiar with the roads of Guangzhou than he was. If he took the child to chase him, he might not be able to catch up; but without the child, he was afraid that the child would be lost again.
.
At this moment, Zhang Wuji and another guard named Feng Xishan rushed over under Song Liang's order. Song Qingshu immediately put the child on the spot, gestured to the two of them, and chased away.
He is a master disciple of Wudang. Although martial arts in reality does not have any internal skills like in martial arts, Wudang is a major sect in the world, and the disciples who study martial arts in the sect are naturally very powerful. Song Qingshu was able to be retained in the first place.
It was impossible for him to be a mediocre person when he became a bodyguard. So he quickly caught up with the two kidnappers and easily defeated them both. Seeing that the situation was not good, one of them committed suicide by taking poison, and the other had just taken out the poison and had not yet swallowed it.
He went down and was knocked unconscious and captured alive.
Of course, it is impossible for a fight in a busy city not to alert other people. Ordinary people avoided it. The patrol policemen who were patrolling nearby saw that the flow of people was wrong and hurried over.
Song Qingshu showed his identity as an imperial guard and asked two patrolmen to carry the body. The two patrolmen carried the knocked unconscious man back to the outside of Sanyuan Palace.
There was nothing going on on the way, so Song Qingshu took off the gourd hanging from one of the people's waist and looked at it. But at this glance, he felt that something was not right about the gourd, and said to himself: "Why does this gourd look so strange?
"
"Senior Brother Song, what's wrong?" He suddenly heard someone say.
Song Qingshu hurriedly raised his head and saw that he had returned to the place where Zhang Wuji and Feng Xishan were guarding the child he had rescued. It was Zhang Wuji who was asking questions just now.
"Wuji, look at this gourd," Song Qingshu said as he handed the gourd to Zhang Wuji: "I always feel that there is something wrong with the look of this gourd. I seem to have heard my father say something about it."
Zhang Wuji took the gourd, pulled out the stopper, looked at it, poured out the water, and then said in surprise: "This style of gourd is used for 'picking'!"
"A gourd used for 'picking raw materials'!" Song Qingshu also said in surprise.
"Brother Song, Brother Zhang, what does 'caisheng' mean?" Feng Xishan asked in confusion.
"No time to explain." Song Qingshu said this and began to touch the body of the person who was knocked unconscious. At the same time, Zhang Wuji also started to touch the body of the person who was beaten to death.
Song Qingshu took off the man's shoes but found nothing; he then pulled off his clothes; at the same time, he asked the police around him: "Do any of you remember this man?"
He just asked casually, not expecting an answer; but one of the policemen said: "Master guard, I don't recognize these two people, but they are probably gangsters outside the city."
"Danhu? What is a Danhu? Why do you think they are a Danhu?" Song Qingshu asked.
"Sir, Danhu are people in Guangdong who make a living by fishing and rarely get off the boat. They are the lowest class."
"The look of these two people's feet, well, I don't know what to say, but they are different from ordinary people. I have seen dead Danhus in the past, so I can tell at a glance that they should be Danhus."
"The Danhus will never enter the city unless necessary. The people who guarded the city gate in the past would not let them enter the city. They all live on the sea outside Zhenhai Gate." The policeman said.
After hearing what he said, other policemen also said: "Sir, they must be Danhu, and the little one looks like him too!" "Yes, sir, they must be Danhu."...
"Go and tell your boss immediately to send people to search the households on the riverside." After searching for a long time and finding nothing, Song Qingshu stopped and said loudly to the policemen in front of him: "This is 'picking and cutting'.
A big case that has shaken the world! Now His Majesty is in Guangzhou City again! If you delay the case and let the criminal escape, you will die without redemption!"
Several patrol officers felt that the word "collecting raw materials" was somewhat familiar from just now. When they heard the four words "collecting raw materials and cut them off" and thought about what it was, they were immediately frightened out of their wits.
Two of the smartest people immediately ran to the patrol station in the north of Guangzhou City; then more people reacted and ran to the patrol station in the north of the city. Song Qingshu stopped a few people and said: "Someone has already gone to the patrol station in the north of the city.
Branch office, you guys should go to the Police Headquarters next to the Guangzhou Government Office, the Guangdong Procuratorate Department, the Chief Envoy Department and the Capital Commander Department to report."
These people were in a very scared state at this time. When they heard his order, they ran towards the place he pointed, regardless of whether it was right or not.
Song Qingshu carried the dead body alone, while Zhang Wuji and Feng Xishan tied up the unconscious man again, carried him to the vicinity of Sanyuan Palace, and reported to Song Liang.
…
…
"'Collecting raw materials, cutting them off'? What is 'picking raw materials, cutting them off'?" Yunxi asked in confusion after listening to Song Liang's report.
"Your Majesty, there are thousands of kinds of activities in the world, ranging from plundering sheep, lying and lying to killing people. And the most terrifying thing is this 'harvesting and cutting'."
"The so-called 'picking and cutting' means turning a good person into a cripple or even a monster in order to gain more charity from passers-by."
"'Cai' means to take and collect; '生' means raw materials, mostly children; 'cut' means to chop with knives and axes. It means to catch a child and use knives, axes, or other methods to turn him into a grotesque disabled monster.
." Song Qingshu, who was standing aside, explained.
Yunxi suddenly felt a chill in the back of his head. He already understood what "Cleaning" was, and immediately thought of the Indian movie "Slumdog Millionaire" he had watched in his previous life. Logically speaking, he had been here for more than ten years.
, but after hearing Song Qingshu’s words, I very clearly remembered the situation in which the protagonist was almost crippled.
"The technique used by these people is to use kidnapped children to make a deformed man with a big head: they buy a large vat, put the child in it, with the head exposed, and knock a large piece off the lower part of the vat for excretion.
The child couldn't move in it, and after a few years the jar was smashed. The child only had a head but not a body, just like a big-headed baby. Because the limbs could not move, they were completely atrophied. The arms and legs were as soft as cotton and could be manipulated at will. Like a monster.
.Wherever you take it, it will attract a lot of curious onlookers..."
"There is also "creating animals": destroying the skin around the person, killing the animal, skinning it and wrapping it while it is hot, thus turning the person into a living animal, which is used to beg and perform in exchange for money."
"The 'picking' in 'picking and cutting' has another meaning: killing a living person and harvesting the soul for driving. There is a whole set of magic rituals when killing people. After killing a person, this
The human soul is collected in the gourd and driven by the master to cause trouble."
"I am a lay disciple of the Wudang Sect. Your Majesty also knows that the Wudang Sect also practices Taoist magic. Although I have not officially become a Taoist priest, I heard the elders of my sect introduce the magic and evil arts in the world, and I mentioned this 'picking and cutting'
.So Chen and Zhang Wuji saw something was wrong with the gourd he carried: although the gourd was indeed used to hold water for drinking, its shape was that of a gourd used for 'gathering'."
"Mr. Tao Zongyi's "Nancun Shui Notes" records that something like this happened in the third year of Zhizheng in the Yuan Dynasty (1343 AD): Zhongshu Province approved the Shaanxi Provincial Consultation, and Chahan Nao'er Xuanwei Division submitted: Bazak Street Li Jingfang Wang Bi reported,
..., (The story recorded in "Nancun Stops Farming" is very long, so I won't go into details to avoid cheating on the word count. Those who are interested can look it up)" Song Qingshu was still talking.
"Stop talking!" Yunxi suddenly said loudly. Song Qingshu immediately fell silent.
Although Yunxi had already been on the battlefield and had seen tens of thousands of people fighting each other on the battlefield, he was still very scared and angry after listening to Song Qingshu's introduction just now: such a thing actually exists in the world!
"Immediately order the police stations inside and outside Guangzhou to conduct a comprehensive search of Guangzhou. If you see anyone who looks like a kidnapper, beggar, or behaves suspiciously, you will arrest them." Yunhe calmly ordered.
"Your Majesty, I just talked about this matter with several patrol policemen I met on the road. They have already gone to the patrol branch in the north of Guangzhou and the police headquarters in the city." Song Qingshu said.
"You did a good job!" Yunxi said again: "I still remember that I just said that I captured a kidnapper alive? Song Qingshu, you sent this man to the Yamen of the Inspector's Office and told the Inspector: You must pry open his mouth! And!
Remember to instruct the searchers not to kill the arrested people, I want to see the prisoners alive!"
Song Qingshu and others were ordered to deliver the order.
After giving the order, Song Liang boldly said, "Your Majesty, are you still going to Guangxiao Temple?"
"I'm not going!" Yunxi said: "I don't want to go anywhere now. I'll just go back to the palace. But you go and tell the abbot of Guangxiao Temple that in a few days, I can pay homage to the dead and rescue the living souls. I still need him!"
After giving the instructions, Yunxi got on the carriage and returned to the palace.
