The Tzu Chi Bureau was established by the late emperor.

At that time, the war had just ended, the Yong State had just been established, and there was a lot of work to be done.

In order to take in homeless and abandoned babies who were unable to raise themselves, the late emperor allocated a portion of the silver from the already empty national treasury to establish the Tzu Chi Bureau.

At that time, the highly respected Master Yuanle from the Huguo Temple was invited to be the person in charge.

Later, as the Yong Dynasty grew stronger, the Tzu Chi Bureau was preserved because of its immeasurable merits and gradually became a custom.

Today, the person in charge of the Tzu Chi Bureau is still the master of the Huguo Temple, whose Buddhist name is Yuanyou.

Qiao Tianjing shared all the information he had found about the Tzu Chi Bureau with Qiao Jiaojiao, and then said seriously:

"Little sister, if things are really as Lu Yin said, then big brother will definitely go to the Tzu Chi Bureau to investigate."

Qiao Jiaojiao was a little worried, "Brother, can Lu Yin be trusted?"

Qiao Tianjing shook his head uncertainly. "One must be on guard against others. Big brother must be careful."

At this time, Qiao Jiaojiao remembered something and suddenly laughed.

She turned her wrist and conjured up a talisman and a pill.

"Brother, take these two things with you. One is the Disguise Pill, and the other is the Rebound Talisman!"

"Brother is a famous scholar who won the imperial examination in Beijing. It would be bad if someone recognized him. After taking this disguise pill, it will last for three hours and you can change your face immediately!"

"The rebound charm is also very useful, but it is easy to be mistaken for a freak. However, with the disguise pill, big brother can use it without restraint!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Tianjing immediately came forward with a look of curiosity, touched the pill and the white talisman, his eyes full of amazement.

Qiao Jiaojiao boasted a little.

This is a combination she came up with with great difficulty!

————

On the second day, Qiao Tianjing took a special leave and arrived at the north gate of the Tzu Chi Bureau in Daxing County at the agreed time.

Chu Sheng and Lu Yin had been waiting here for a long time. Chu Sheng had also changed his appearance, this time with a beard.

The two were talking in low voices when they suddenly saw a strange young man walking towards them.

This person was born ordinary, with nothing memorable about him, but he had a scholarly air about him.

Chu Sheng frowned slightly, and then he heard the young man's very familiar voice.

"Brother Chu, Brother Lu, I am not late, am I?"

Chu Sheng:〈(゜。゜)

Lu Yin: (⊙.☉)?

"What? Can't you recognize me?" Qiao Tianjing tilted his head.

"Ah? Joe—"

The two of them uttered a low cry at the same time, then quickly stopped talking.

Chu Sheng was still calm, but Lu Yin had already limped forward and was looking him over desperately.

"Oh my God! Where did you get this human skin mask? It's too real, isn't it?"

He even leaned closer to take a look at Qiao Tianjing's jaw, and found that the joints of the human skin mask were seamless!

"Master! The person who made the mask must be a master!"

Qiao Tianjing raised his lips slightly when he heard this, causing Lu Yin to exclaim again: "This mask fits so well! Even the smile looks so natural!"

Chu Sheng walked up, put his arm around Lu Yin's shoulder, and said a little embarrassedly:

"Sir, A Yin is being rude. All detectives are like this. I have seen many human skin masks, but I have never seen one as exquisite as this."

Qiao Tianjing waved his hand and said with a smile: "Then let's go in."

Speaking of business, Lu Yin became serious, took out the key from his waist and opened the north gate.

"Sir, this Tzu Chi Bureau is actually not that strict, especially since our subordinates were sent by the county government, and there is no one to supervise them."

"The subordinate office is in the north courtyard. It is independent. There is a long corridor leading to the south courtyard, which is where the children stay."

"I usually don't go there. After all, there are maids there."

Qiao Tianjing nodded and said in a gentle voice: "For the sake of convenience, let's call each other brothers. You can just call me Brother Ya."

Before entering the yard, Qiao Tianjing put his right hand behind his back and gestured to the outside calmly.

Lu Yin’s office room is very simple, and you can tell he’s a straightforward person.

He had picked out the names of those with doubts yesterday, and now he had deliberately turned to that page and laid it directly in front of Qiao Tianjing.

"Brother Ya, please look!"

Seeing this, Chu Sheng consciously stood guard at the door to prevent anyone from breaking in.

At this time, Qiao Tianjing already had a very good impression of Chu Sheng and Lu Yin. The two of them were indeed steady and quick in their work.

Qiao Tianjing lowered his head, and Lu Yin had already extended his hand to introduce:

"Brother Ya, look, there are a total of 23 children here, 18 boys and 5 girls. All of them were adopted in the same year, ranging in age from three to seven years old."

"I have compared them specifically. In other years, there were as many as seven or eight, and as few as three or four. How could so many be taken away at once?"

Qiao Tianjing's eyes swept over the twenty-three names one by one.

"Twenty-three in one year..."

Qiao Tianjing murmured softly. At this moment, these upright names seemed particularly shocking!

If the facts are really as revealed by Meng Guxue, this Tzu Chi Bureau is where the Second Prince recruits his death squad.

How many of the 23 children adopted four years ago are still alive today?

Lu Yin pointed downwards again, "Brother Ya, this is where the adoptive families are recorded. This is where I went, and there is no such person at all!"

Qiao Tianjing knew in his heart that not only this one, but dozens of others were very likely fake!

This happened four years ago, and it was so obvious that something was not discovered until now.

From this we can see that the officials in the past were either in cahoots with the corrupt or were just sitting there doing nothing!

"Brother Lu, where did you go last time?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yin immediately replied, "They said the whole family moved, but I haven't really asked where they went."

Qiao Tianjing knew what was going on. He knocked on the list and asked in a low voice, "Brother Lu, this list is so important, why do you just leave it here casually?"

This list is simply strong evidence. Zhou Bo and his men did such a shameful thing, but they didn't even keep it properly?

Lu Yin groaned.

"Brother Ya, the list you see now is the one I have carefully cleaned. When I first came here, this list was piled in the innermost box, gathering dust!"

"The roster is checked once a year. This year's list is checked against last year's. Who cares about the stuff from four years ago? Only I have the time to look through it all and sort it out."

After Qiao Tianjing thought about it carefully, he came to his senses.

The training of death squads was originally a top secret, and who could link the death squads with the Tzu Chi Bureau?

Zhou Bo and his team must have been extremely cautious at the beginning, and they had arranged everything thoroughly to leave no room for error.

But over the past decade or so, this matter has been kept well hidden, and the operation has become very familiar. Even Zhou Bo and his men must have begun to relax.

After all, if not for the large number of deaths in Nanjiao last time and Meng Guxue’s reminder, who would have thought of coming to the Tzu Chi Bureau to find out what happened?

Thinking of this, Qiao Tianjing raised his head and asked, "Brother Lu, can I take these lists away?"
