For Jin Yiwei, as long as there is a thread in such a case, a whole bunch of threads can be pulled out.
In fact, strictly speaking, this case is not difficult at all. The difficulty lies in whether you are willing to put in the effort to investigate it.
The official servants of Yingtian Mansion are also husbands, and they have long been sharp-eyed. But the difference between them and the Jin Yiwei is that although the Jin Yiwei is more ruthless, they are also simpler.
As for the people at the yamen gate, they are more or less unprofitable and can't afford to be early, and they are more or less able to avoid causing trouble to themselves without causing trouble to themselves.
In fact, it is understandable why there is such a difference. The merits of the people in the Yamen Gate belong to the adults, and the adults lead them vigorously and resolutely. But if the Jin Yiwei has merits, the emperor can directly see and hear them.

"After identification at the scene, a total of 42 people participated in the physical beating of the traffickers!"
In the Qianqing Palace, He Guangyi bowed and said to Zhu Yunxi, who was changing clothes under the eunuch's service.
"After screening the identities of these forty-two people, we found that thirty-eight of them were local residents of Yingtian Mansion." He Guangyi spoke slowly, trying to be as detailed as possible, "They are all good citizens with legitimate identities. The chief, the chief security officer, and the officers from the Army and Horse Department can all testify!"
"Four of them have registered residence in other places and are renting in the capital! When I first asked, they were vague and tried to get away with it. The addresses they reported were all wrong!"
As he said that, He Guangyi raised his head and said, "Moreover, he deliberately concealed his place of origin, let alone what he did as a career in the capital! So I ordered him to be tortured!"
Zhu Yunxi changed his clothes, sat down on the Arhat bed, and motioned for He Guangyi to continue.
"Just as the prince said!" He Guangyi thought about his words, "these four people are the accomplices of the two traffickers who were beaten to death! Seeing that their accomplices were held down by the neighbors and unable to escape, they were afraid that their accomplices would say anything in the yamen Their members still had a hiding place! Taking advantage of the righteous indignation of the neighbors at that time, they clamored and took action first!"
"It was those four people who had murderous intentions and deliberately took advantage of the chaos to kill them!"
"I also asked Wu Zuo to inspect the corpse of the deceased. The fatal injury was on the back of the head. Ordinary people usually don't hit people in such a fatal place, and they also don't hit so accurately and within such an inch!"
"These four people were also recruited. They are responsible for the role of thugs in this human trafficking gang! The old woman who was beaten to death was looking for people to be abducted. Because she was a woman, she was not easy to let others know. Suspicious! This old woman came forward to rent their residence in the capital!"
"The man who died was the son of the old woman. He was the whistleblower in their gang and the spy who let everyone know!"
"There are a total of sixteen people in this gang. They have a clear division of labor and are good at covering up. They are hidden in three houses in the middle of the capital. I have ordered their arrest. I think they should have been arrested by now!"
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi interrupted He Guangyi, "These people killed them when they saw the situation was wrong. Not only did they not escape but they stayed in place afterward, which shows how cruel and daring they are!"
"Long live the Lord Shengming!" He Guangyi continued, "I asked people to find out their real names. They are all wanted criminals on the list." After saying that, he paused and said, "They all have lives on them! "
Zhu Yunxi nodded, "Go on!"
"Actually, they rarely abduct people in the capital. The kidnapping of boys this time was just a temporary move. Most of the time they abducted people elsewhere and then brought them back to the capital..."
"And they are also different from other human traffickers. First, they only abduct boys, and second, they must be children from well-to-do families."
Zhu Yunxi frowned slightly, "Why is this?"
"This starts with their superior, the great monk of Lingyin Temple!" He Guangyi continued, "To be precise, this group of traffickers are all minions raised by the great monk of Lingyin Temple!"
"Lingyin Temple is not a big temple among the temples in Yingtian Prefecture! The temples in the capital can be traced back to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and have a long history. But this Lingyin Temple was only built in the past few decades."
"It was not famous before, but it has suddenly become prosperous in the past six or seven years. The reason is that Lingyin Temple is particularly effective in praying for a child!"
"Are you begging for a child or selling a child?" Zhu Yunxi sneered.
"Your Majesty!" He Guangyi said again, "You are selling your children!"
He said and smiled, "In fact, most of the people who seek children in this world are because they have hidden diseases and are ashamed to be outsiders! So they ask the gods and Buddhas, and the great monk of Lingyin Temple attaches great importance to this point."
"Looking for a buyer among the generous pilgrims? Then let those people choose the kidnapped and trafficked children!"
Zhu Yunxi thought thoughtfully, "Oh, the buyer who spends a lot of money must be from a wealthy family! So the children they want to abduct must also be children from well-to-do families, because children from poor families are not raised so carefully since they were young and cannot enter those
The eyes of rich people! Of course, the children they sell must be as young as possible! Come to think of it, they have not only kidnapped but also stolen a lot in recent years, right?"
"The Emperor's Holy Ming!"
He Guangyi said, "In order to cover up their actions, those who bought the children claimed that after praying for a son in Lingyin Temple, they sincerely moved the gods and Buddhas and gave them a son. In addition, Lingyin Temple deliberately sought to make some excuses
Smart people spread the word about their efficacious effects among the people, so there has been an endless stream of pilgrims seeking children over the years!"
Zhu Yunxi sneered again, "I'm afraid there is an endless stream of people buying sons!" After saying that, he paused and said, "If you can't give birth to a child, don't have one. Isn't adopting a nephew as a son to continue the family line?"
In fact, he also knew that what he said was a bit weak.
When wealthy families adopt sons among relatives, they often end up raising tigers.
It’s not that the adopted son is a tiger, but that the adoptive son’s biological parents are tigers. They are tigers who keep an eye on other people’s property.
Not to mention wealthy families, even ordinary families with only a few houses and acres of thin fields. As long as they don’t have a son, they are fat in the eyes of all relatives and want to take a bite.
Human nature, that's what it is.
"How many monks are there in Lingyin Temple? Are they all involved in this matter?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"Yes!" He Guangyi opened his mouth and said, "Lingyin Temple is not big, there are only more than twenty monks in total, and they all participated!" After saying that, he paused and hesitated.
"If you have anything to say, please feel free to say it!" Zhu Yunxi said.
"Go back to the emperor!" He Guangyi said again, "According to the accounts of the captured criminals, since the imperial court inspected the temple properties of temples all over the world and confiscated the fields and properties of each temple, the life of the monks in Lingyin Temple has not been easy.
!”
"Humph! Real monks are pure-hearted and celibate, but these flower monks are just drunkards and lascivious men wearing cassocks!" Zhu Yunxi said angrily, "Life is hard? You don't farm the land, you don't work, and there are people to support you. Do you still think life is hard?"
As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm really curious, how did the monks from Lingyin Temple get together with these gangsters?"
"According to the confession of the prisoner, one of the monks in Lingyin Temple is a wanted criminal by the government!" He Guangyi said immediately, "This man was afraid of being arrested by the government, so he bought an ultimatum ten years ago and hung it in Lingyin Temple.
!”
"Humph!" Zhu Yunxi sneered again.
The ultimatum can be purchased!
"This man escaped but did not want to repent. After establishing a foothold in Lingyin Temple, he brought his accomplices into the temple. He also provided shelter for criminals wanted by the government!"
He Guangyi said, "That's why the great monk of Lingyin Temple has the means to recruit these bad guys!"
Zhu Yunxi raised the corners of his mouth and said sarcastically, "It was originally a place for gods and immortals, but it has become a den for evil thieves. I will lose my conscience in front of you and worship the gods and Buddha in the back!"
As he said that, he stood up and said, "If it weren't for the chance to reveal the truth and use the temple as a cover, I wonder if it would have been absolutely foolproof!"
"The Emperor's thunderous power, Xiaoxiao is gone!" He Guangyi said immediately, "It is also the sky's net that is clear, and evil will be punished!"
