Prince Fusu took out another mooncake from his sleeve and handed it to him, "Don't be afraid, you just need to tell us why the Huns are in the village?"
"My sister suddenly disappeared one day. My father said she died of illness, but I heard them say at night that they were going to send my sister to Aunt San."
Seeing him speak, another boy who had been staring at the mooncakes also spoke up: "Me... Me too, my brother is obviously fine, but my mother insisted that he had starved to death."
Prince Fusu took out a small loaf of bread from his pocket and handed it to the boy who had just spoken.
Seeing that there was food to be taken, the children around started talking.
"After my younger brother and sister were sent to my third aunt's house, we had food to eat in the following days."
"We thought Xiaohua had been sold and was working for someone else."
"The night before yesterday, a few of us secretly followed Aunt San, and we found that she had taken Xiaohua outside and was taken away by a bearded Hun..."
"Then I overheard that they said that children's meat is the most delicious... I need to find more recently to use for the winter."
At this point, several children were frightened and cried.
...
...
After hearing this, the faint smile on Prince Fusu's face disappeared completely, and he clenched his fists.
He didn't expect that there would be a village engaging in this kind of human trafficking!
And they were sold to the Huns as food!
They are absolutely heartless!
Qin law was strict. Once a family committed a crime, all the neighbors would be implicated if no one reported the crime.
Since even children know about this deal, it means the entire village is hiding it from everyone else!
This devilish village no longer needs to exist!
Looking at the skinny children, Prince Fusu decided immediately, "Are you willing to come with me to build the Great Wall? I will pay you according to your work."
As soon as he finished speaking, the oldest child and the others knelt on the ground, "Thank you, sir. We are willing to build the Great Wall!"
Prince Fusu signaled to several soldiers to protect the children.
Then the others went to the village to investigate and see if the village was really like what the children said.
…
"Village chief, a group of Qin soldiers have come to the village. Do you think they are coming for us?" Aunt Hua San felt uneasy today.
"The Qin army should be passing by. Our village has been law-abiding for so many years. There is no reason for the Qin army to come to us." The village chief drank the tea with rich milk flavor calmly.
After he sprinkled a handful of salt into the tea, he suddenly said, "By the way, Xiaohua ran away on the way last night. Keep an eye out for her. When you catch her, hand her over to A Shitu. He said he would come and take the goods back personally."
"Don't worry, I've been here for so many years, and no dead girl can escape from my hands." Aunt Hua San's eyes revealed ruthlessness as she spoke.
However, what they didn't know was that outside the door, Prince Fusu had already led his men to surround the place.
Next to them was a Hun who was beaten half to death.
All the clues have been found and the evidence is conclusive.
"Load the crossbow!"
When the Qin army went out, they would first lead the charge with Qin crossbows and suppress the enemy with arrows.
The arrow feathers instantly pierced the house where the village was located.
Inside the house, the village chief and Aunt Hua were talking when they suddenly heard the sound of an arrow flying towards them. He immediately pushed over the table and blocked the way.
"Oh no! We've been discovered by the Qin army!"
"Damn it! How on earth did they get discovered?"
The houses naturally could not withstand the attack of the Qin army, and soon the village and Aunt Hua were captured.
As soon as the village chief came out and saw A Shitu being captured by the Qin army, he knew that everything was over.
"Take everyone in this village back!"
According to Qin law, human trafficking is punishable by death.
Some villagers cursed all the way, while others huddled in a corner in fear.
There was only one crazy villager who laughed all the way, "Ahahaha, God has eyes, I knew that this village would be destroyed sooner or later, and we are all going to die!"
Prince Fusu was riding on his horse, looking at this series of people, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"It's Uncle Lu Shan. I heard that Uncle Lu Shan went crazy when I was very young." The little boy explained to others.
"It's not just Uncle Lu Shan who's crazy, it's the whole village!"
Prince Fusu couldn't help but look at the little boy a few more times, "I see that you have some understanding, are you willing to follow me and be my book boy?"
Unexpectedly, the little boy asked back: "What is a book boy? I don't want to study, I just want to practice martial arts. I want to drive away all the Huns! So that they will never dare to invade us again!"
After being rejected, Prince Fusu did not get angry, but changed his tone, "The book boy can read a lot of books, and he can also read military books. In short, he will become very powerful."
"Besides, you can also learn martial arts by being my servant."
As soon as he finished speaking, the little boy knelt down in front of him, "Thank you, little stone!"
…
Prince Fusu led a group of soldiers and horses and returned to Shangjun in a mighty manner, suppressing the villagers.
Meng Tian just happened to rush over after hearing the news.
After Prince Fusu told the story, Zhang Han and Meng Tian were so angry that their eyes turned red.
They didn't expect that the Qin people would collude with the Huns to traffic people under their noses!
It's simply treason!
Moreover, those Qin children were bought. Those who were luckier became slaves of the Huns, while those who were unlucky were eaten after the winter came.
These Huns are so cruel!
That's a human being!
Living people, not chickens, ducks, birds or beasts.
How cruel it is to eat one's own kind!
What's the difference between them and the devil?
He had always known the cunning and ferocity of the Huns.
But I never expected that they could come up with such a cruel thing.
Because there was nothing to eat, they plundered the people around Daqin for food...
If you can’t plunder, you can sell people…
I never thought there would be such unscrupulous people who would do such a thing.
"According to their confessions, they said that there were frequent wars in the past, so they did the human trafficking business for many years without being discovered. Later, the Qin Dynasty conquered the six kingdoms, and life became much more stable, so there has been very little buying and selling in recent years."
Hearing this, Meng Tian couldn't help laughing and felt a chill on his back.
At that time, the six countries were constantly at war, and in many places children were exchanged for food. I wonder how many children were sold!
It was not until Emperor Qin Shi Huang unified the country that the scene of purgatory on earth stopped appearing.
"Sir, what should we do with the villagers who were brought back?"
"According to Qin law, human trafficking is punishable by death, and in serious cases, the offender will be cut into pieces."
As the two were talking, the governor of Shangjun, Xian, also came over after hearing the news.
"Your humble servant, the county magistrate 'Xian', pays homage to Prince Fusu and General Meng." The county magistrate hurriedly saluted despite being sweaty.
"Shangjun has such a human trafficking incident, and the county governor cannot escape the blame." Prince Fusu glanced at him and continued, "This matter still needs to be handled properly. Fusu will write down the specific process in a memorial to the emperor."
