Take a Door with You

"It's not a cellar?"

After coming down, Cao Xin realized that he had guessed wrong.

Entering from the entrance under the bedroom bed, it is not a cellar at all, but an underground passage. Going down the ladder to the bottom is a small space, about the size of a hut.

Further outside, there is a channel connecting.

Cao Xin took out the torch from the portable space, and went forward. After walking about seventy or eighty steps, it came to an end. If you look carefully, there is a secret door at the end.

Push open the secret door.

It was pitch black.

"here it is--"

Cao Xinyi was a bold man, he took a torch and looked around, and he knew clearly: "This is Wuyou Cave!"

...

"The ditches in Xijing are very deep and wide, and many refugees hide in them, calling themselves 'Worriless Cave'; what's more, women are stolen and hidden, which is called 'Ghost Fan Tower'. From the beginning of the country to the prosperous age, there are often, although talents cannot be eliminated. also."

...

"Worry-free cave."

"Ghost Fan Tower."

The two are mysterious and mysterious, and ordinary and ordinary.

The underground drainage system of Xijing City is deep and wide, and people can live in it. Many desperadoes hide in it. They call it the "Worriless Cave".

There are also some human traffickers who abducted women and children and hid them here, which is also called "Ghost Fan Lou".

It has existed from the beginning of the Kingdom to the prosperous years. Although the imperial court often sends people to clear the payment, it cannot stop it.

With the passage of time and the evolution of the times, "Worriless Cave" has become synonymous with a place where filth is hidden and lawless, and it is a place outside the law.

There are many villains hiding in it, chaotic and disorderly, a group of moles living in the dark.

Order collapsed.

The strong are respected.

Some people walk alone and fight alone.

Some people linger on their last days and vassalize the strong.

There are also powerful alliances to become bigger and stronger.

Among them, the most famous of the latter is the 'Ghost Fan Tower'.

"There are fan towers on the earth and in the world, which are first-class places of enjoyment."

Fan Lou!

This is a very famous entertainment place in Xijing City. The building is three stories high and the fifth floor faces each other. It can accommodate thousands of people. They can eat and drink, sleep in flowers and sleep in willows. place. When outsiders enter the capital, if they don't go to Fanlou to play, they don't count as having seen the world.

As for the name 'Ghost Fan Tower', one can imagine what kind of place it is.

A group of vicious gangsters, based in Wuyoudong, specialize in illegal activities. Kidnapping children in the streets and alleys is commonly known as "patting Hanako". People who lost their children are anxious to find them, but as long as they take their children and escape into the underground tunnel, the child will be gone.

Even if the parents go to the government to report the case, the government officials can't find their dens.

As vast as Xijing City is, this 'Worriless Cave' is as big as it is, and it extends in all directions, like an underground city.

The abducted children grew up in it and received the teachings of the 'predecessors', and their three views were distorted.

Boys become beggars or pickpockets, and when they grow up, they become a new batch of go-getters in the "Ghost Fan Tower".

The fate of the girl is even more tragic——

The obedient ones are sold to the brothel above, and the disobedient ones are left underground. The same is done in the sale of fireworks and willow lanes.

The yamen at all levels in Xijing City and the five city soldiers and horses are cleaned up several times a year, but it is difficult to cause a heavy blow.

Too many difficulties!

People from the "Ghost Fan Tower" lived here for a long time, they are very familiar with the terrain inside, and they are well versed in the set of "if the enemy comes, we will run, and if the enemy retreats, we will return". Officials who are not familiar with the terrain can't find them at all.

Secondly, in addition to channels, there is also an ancient city from the Warring States period underground in Xijing City. The folk song said-'Xijing City, cities piled on top of each other, there are several cities buried underground', which undoubtedly increased the difficulty.

On the other hand, although there are many dens of thieves and criminals such as the "Ghost Fan Tower" in the "Worriless Cave", most of them are homeless and poor people. To a certain extent, they are the hostages of the suspects, and the Yamen are afraid to push them too hard.

Furthermore, if the suppression is successful, what will happen to the people inside?

If so many people suddenly appeared, the imperial court could not or would not take care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation, which would cause even greater chaos.

So, as time goes by, let it go.

And these people in the 'Worriless Cave' are also very knowledgeable, abducting children only looks for people with outstanding looks, and never for officials. If you commit crimes, you only dare to offend the people, not the government.

To a certain extent, it can be regarded as bullying.

However, there are also rumors that the 'Ghost Fan Tower' has colluded with the officials, there is a protective umbrella on it, a lot of money for filial piety, and the best 'skinny horse' donates every year, the background is not small.

Among the above-mentioned difficulties in the suppression, the so-called 'innocent people', 'hostages', and 'resettlement', etc., I am afraid that these corrupt officials are making noise and dragging their feet.

...

"Necrosis attached to the bone!"

"This is a stubborn disease!"

Cao Xin first heard the information about 'Worriless Cave' and 'Ghost Fan Tower' from Tang Miao. Later, after investigating by himself, he knew more and more that he wanted to wipe out 'Worriless Cave' and destroy 'Ghost Fan Tower'. No easy task.

The power of one person is even more slim.

"Break into the interior, maybe it can be done."

Strong enemies are often easier to disintegrate from within.

Cao Xin didn't stay in the underground culvert, and soon returned to the underground darkroom, and began to interrogate the two traffickers.

...

Dare to take pictures of Huazi in Xijing City, these two people have the ability to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Cao Xin interrogated the two separately, and soon got to know them.

These two are not very old, in their early twenties.

The young man is called 'Li Liang', and the woman is called 'Ren Xiaomei', they are a couple. I have been in this business for four or five years, specializing in the sale of good-looking, smart and lively children, and I have made a lot of money.

But they are not considered direct descendants of 'Ghost Fan Lou', they can only be regarded as non-staff members. Above them is the regular army of Guifanlou——grow up in Guifanlou since childhood, most of them are Lianjiazi.

For example, Li and Liang's online 'Shi Chuang' is an official disciple of Gui Fan Lou.

Li Liang and his wife abducted the child in Xijing City, and sent it to the underground Wuyou Cave. Afterwards, their own 'Shi Chuang' came to meet him and sent the child to the stronghold of Ghost Fanlou.

This is on the line.

In addition to this, Li Liang and Ren Xiaomei also had contacts with several beggars in Ma Xing Street Market. These beggars were also from Gui Fan Lou and belonged to Shi Chuang.

Each beggar has dozens or hundreds of beggars, big and small, and finds children along the way while begging, and then passes the news to Li Liang.

Li Liang and Ren Xiaomei followed up and visited, waiting for an opportunity to act.

After winning it, hand it over to Shi Chuang and send it to Guifanlou.

In this way, an industrial chain is formed.

...

"shocking!"

Li and Liang alone, in four or five years, no less than 30 children were abducted and trafficked.

Think carefully!

Think about it, for example, how many channels does Gui Fan Lou have in total like Li Liang? After one year, how many people will be harmed?

It's really shocking.

However, what is even more desperate is that even if human traffickers like Li Liang and Ren Xiaomei are caught, even if the identities of 'Shi Chuang' and the beggars who provided the information are found out by force, they can even be taken down by following the vine. , Kill.

But then, Gui Fan Lou can easily launch another disciple, appoint a few more beggars, and find a few more human traffickers.

Comeback.

as usual.

Three or five people, one or two routes, this does not pose any threat at all to Gui Fanlou, who has a great family, a large army, and a large number of generals.

"How can we completely wipe it out?"

Cao Xin pondered for a while, and suddenly four or five plans popped up in his mind.

There are many ways.

There are light and heavy, urgent and slow, difficult and easy.

But how to do it exactly needs to be studied further.
