Chapter 270 Wanted
After hearing Shen Yun's question, Liao Chunfa simply said, "Let me see my son. I'll tell you everything when I see him."
"You said it first, I will let you see them. And Dan Niang, I think you have something to tell her. If I am satisfied with what you said, I will let you see them and their son."
After Shen Yun said this, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. He was so tired from the night that his eyes were so dry that he could hardly close them.
But after a while, Shen Yun opened his eyes again and looked at Liao Chunfa, "How is it, have you thought about it? If you don't want to tell me, I won't force you. But an orphan will probably be sent to a charity. If other children in the charity know that your son is the son of a trafficker, will they bully him?"
Tao Sizhi stopped writing. He thought to himself that he couldn't write this paragraph. Shen Siqing looked too much like a corrupt official.
At this time, the only sound in the whole room was Liao Chunfa's heavy breathing. Suddenly, the breathing stopped, and Tao Si immediately grasped the pen.
"Uncle De said that the prettiest girls are sold to brothels, the second-best ones are sold to wealthy families as maids, and the third-best ones are sold to the mountains to be child brides. Boys are more popular. People want sons everywhere, including Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Guangzhou, and Minzhou. You ask me where those children are, but I don't know."
The fact that the children were sold was mentioned so casually made people angry for no reason, but the most important thing now was to find "Uncle De" and to find those poor children.
"Is there anyone above Uncle De who is in charge?"
Liao Chunfa shook his head. "No more, but there are many people like me who help him find goods. If you want to know more, you should find Uncle De. This is all I know. I'm done. Can you let me see my son now?"
"It's not over yet. Tell me everything, including when and where you kidnapped the child, and when you gave the child to Uncle De."
"No need to tell me." Liao Chunfa raised his head and said calmly, "In the thatched house in my yard, there is a loose brick on the east wall. There is a book inside, and everything is written on it."
Shen Yun immediately sent someone to Liao Chunfa's home in Qingxing County again, "Once we get the things to the Dali Temple, we will let you see your son."
When Shen Yun and Tao Sizhi came out of the cell, it was already bright outside. Coming out of the dim cell, the bright light outside was hard to adapt to.
"You've worked hard, Tao Sizhi. Go back and have a rest. It's time to go on duty. Everyone should be here soon."
"Mr. Temple Qing has worked hard."
"Sir, the painters have arrived."
"Okay, I understand."
Shen Yuan was shocked when she saw her father. Her father had not returned home all night and he seemed to have lost a lot of weight and seemed to be very tired.
"Master Shen, please follow me. Please wait here for a moment."
After coming out, Shen Yuan hurriedly asked: "Dad, how is the case going? Why did you get so tired?"
"There has been some great progress in the case. There is still someone to be arrested. I asked you to come here to draw more portraits of him. We need to hunt him down throughout Dazhao."
"good!"
Shen Yuan listened to Wang Hongyun's description of Uncle De's portrait once, and then to Liao Chunfa's description again, and tried to make it more like the original. After finishing the painting, he immediately went back to have all the painters who came to copy it together. The adults in the Dali Temple who were free and could copy also came to help with the painting. Every time a layer of the painting was finished, someone came to take the portrait away and prepare to send it out.
The person who went to Liao Chunfa's house in Qingxing County to get the list came back soon. Liao Chunfa was worried that "Uncle De" would not give him money, so he wrote down every time he kidnapped a child and where he did. Now this list has become the common evidence of his, Wang Hongyun and "Uncle De".
The adults in the Dali Temple were speechless when they saw the list. There were hundreds of names densely packed on it. Behind these names were hundreds of heartbroken families who had lost their children.
Shen Yunye found time to write a memorial and then went to see the emperor. After reading it, the emperor was so angry that he said he would cut Uncle De into pieces. However, half a month after the wanted order was issued, no news came from any prefecture.
However, there was some good news in the past half month. In Qingzhou, Jiaozhou, Guangzhou and other places where "Uncle De" often moved, the emperor ordered the Imperial City Division to lead the imperial guards and conduct a thorough investigation of the brothels together with the local officials. They found three young girls who were sold to the brothels by "Uncle De". These girls were no more than six or seven years old. As Liao Chunfa said, they were good-looking and the brothel madams hoped to train them into courtesans. Fortunately, they had not suffered greater harm for the time being. The families of these three girls were found by comparing them with the list left by Liao Chunfa, and then their parents and relatives were contacted to take the children back home.
"Yuwen Mu wrote to me and told me about this. He said that he had specifically contacted several local governors to take care of them. These girls are all loved by their families. Another family even said that they plan to move away with the children so that no one will gossip about them. Maybe when they grow up, they will forget all these bad things." Lu Shuyan said to Shen Yuan.
It was a holiday again. Shen Yuan had been in a bad mood recently because she had not caught "Uncle De". Seeing her like this, Shen Yun drove her out and asked her to go out and relax. Shen Yuan then called Lu Shuyan, Yan Siyu and Jiang Yunyi to go to the restaurant to sit together.
Recently, "Uncle De's" portraits have been posted all over Beijing. Now there are fewer and fewer children playing on the streets, and the family members are afraid that they will be lost, so they keep a close eye on them.
Yan Siyu said, "This man is really abominable. I don't know where he is hiding. It would be better if Ling Chi was caught as soon as possible! Your wedding date is in early March. It's already the sixth day of February. If Lord Yuwen doesn't come back, will it delay your wedding?"
Lu Shuyan said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal about our marriage? Getting married is just a matter of course. If there's really no time to prepare, Yuwen Mu can just roll up his shingle and move into my house."
Lu Shuyan's words made Shen Yuan, who had been upset for a few days, laugh. "If you say this, Lord Yuwen won't have any objections, but your mother might be angry."
Lu Shuyan spread her hands, "There's nothing we can do about it. Yuwen Mu is doing something big. Compared to helping those poor children find their families, getting married is not that important."
“These people are so hateful.”
A few people cursed the hateful person again, but not only did they not feel relieved, they felt even more aggrieved, so they simply started talking about other things.
Lu Shuyan told them, "My caravan will be here soon. I received a letter in advance. I will bring back a lot of new things. You all have to come to the shop to show your support."
"Of course. We have invested money, so we have to come and take a look."
