Family Has a Concubine

Huiran and Qingliu listened to Xiaoyue's words with worried faces.

Qingliu gritted his teeth and said, "The child is missing again? Didn't the trafficker just get caught? He came to the capital again to commit crimes?" Qingliu was about to cry angrily, "Do these damned traffickers have any grudge against us? They even kidnapped the third grandma before. Now... come to get in the way again! Do you really have a grudge against us?"

"Qingliu." Hui Ran stopped her, turned to Ye Tangcai and said, "There is the third master outside, the third grandma must trust the third master."

Ye Tangcai was shocked, and her eyes widened: "Yes, the trafficker...the trafficker...yes, it's him..."

As he said that, his whole body was chilling, his hands hugged his shoulders tightly, his face was terrified, and his body trembled.

Seeing Ye Tang, the three of Huiran looked terrified: "Third grandma... what's wrong with you?"

Ye Tangcai shook her head, her voice trembling: "Go...call the third master back! Call me back!"

"But..." Xiaoyue hesitated.

"You go!" Qing Liu interrupted her, and pushed her out, "Go, I'll be with you."

When the two went out, Hui Ran stepped forward to support Ye Tangcai: "Third grandma..."

Ye Tang's eyes seemed to be out of focus, and his voice was hoarse: "Go down and eat something."

Hui Ran pursed her lips and nodded: "Okay."

With Hui Ran's departure, the whole room fell into silence, but Ye Tangcai couldn't calm down.

Ye Tangcai didn't know how long she had been waiting, the sound of insects outside became louder and louder, and the night got deeper and deeper.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and Ye Tangcai recognized it as Chu Yunpan.

Then, I saw Chu Yunpan walking in wearing a cold night dew, his face was tired and his eyes were bloodshot because of the non-stop running around.

Ye Tangcai stood up and looked at him, tears streaming down her face.

"Tang'er, what's wrong with you?" Chu Yunpan's heart skipped a beat.

At this moment, she would not call herself back for no reason. Pian Xiaoyue and Qingliu don't know what happened. Seeing her crying now, my heart sank little by little, could it be that Yao'er...

Chu Yunpan walked over and took her hand gently, only feeling cold. He couldn't help but hold it tightly.

"Third Master..." Ye Tangcai looked at him, "You may not like to hear the following words, and you may blame me, but...that is the only hope for the baby to survive."

Chu Yunpan felt the coldness and slight vibration of the hand she held in his hand, "Say it."

Ye Tangcai said: "This matter was done by the emperor."

Chu Yunpan's handsome face was frosty and deserted, and his pupils shrank.

Ye Tangcai said: "The entire palace is surrounded like an iron barrel, but the baby was abducted there. He used human traffickers to put me together before. Besides, there are all the missing children in Beijing, What happened in July last year, what happened in the first month of this year, and what happened tonight are all good things he did."

Chu Yunpan shook his head: "Why do you suspect him?"

"When Xiaoyue scolded people today, she mentioned April 11th. It was not only the baby's birthday, but also Yingqi's death. One birthday, one death. This is an unlucky day, so I thought of the ritual." Ye Tangcai The whole person was numb, "Last year the emperor summoned a group of alchemists into the palace, and then sent Jinlin guards to bring Yingqi back to life. Later, the alchemists didn't do anything, and Jinlin guards had no news, but he slowly walked out of the shadows. I got better with Shangguan Yun. At that time, we all thought he had changed his mind, but in fact...he didn’t! It’s all a cover-up! He has found a way to bring her back to life! In mid-July, there was a child missing case! And Our babies are all... sacrifices!"

Chu Yunpan froze on the spot: "It's ridiculous, how could he do such a thing..."

"That's because he's gone crazy!" Seeing that he still didn't want to believe it, Ye Tangcai was overwhelmed with shock and pushed him hard: "He went crazy when he called those monks and priests into the palace! No, it was The moment she died, he went crazy! It's not normal for a long time!"

Chu Yunpan's brain was struck by lightning, his heart felt dull pain, and even his fingertips felt cold.

"Woo..." Ye Tangcai burst into tears, lowered his head and kept wiping his sleeves, and grabbed the clothes on his chest with one hand: "Third Master... the baby, the baby is in his hands... you save the baby... "

Her voice was choked and hoarse, and she was almost out of breath from crying. Chu Yunpan only saw her drooping head and arms wiping tears, weak and helpless.

Chu Yunpan hugged her into his arms: "Don't worry, the baby will be saved. I won't let anything happen to him."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Chu Yunpan led people out of Beijing and went straight to Fahua Temple.

Taking advantage of the dark night, Chu Yunpan sneaked into the temple and found the place where King Liang lived. As a result, the imperial army guarded the bedroom tightly, but Ji Hai was the only one in the room!

Chu Yunpan's heart became colder by inch, he turned and left Fahua Temple.

When we returned to the capital, it was already dawn.

Although it was early in the morning, there were a lot of things going on yesterday. It was the son of Zhenxi Hou who was killed by the remnants of the abolished prince, and the traffickers went against the wind to commit crimes. Therefore, the early morning of this day was too lively.

Amidst the fireworks, even the passers-by eating wontons on the street were chatting.

"What kind of world is this? There are so many things."

"A group of human traffickers came just a few days ago and killed more than 30 children."

"Now, Prince Zhenxi's son died peacefully, alas... so pitiful. Then several noble children disappeared..."

"Is it a human trafficker again? He actually committed crimes against the wind?"

"Otherwise, the coincidences are all washed away by the water?"

Another child went missing last night, not many, only five.

They are the great-grandson of Lu Zhi, the eldest granddaughter of the Marquis of Ningguo, the youngest son of Prince Qingping, and two other noble children.

It is said that the famous half-immortal Yongzhen Xiangu in the south came to Beijing, and I heard that she is best at giving orders, especially giving birth to children. Yesterday, she officially met the guests, and the place where she met them was actually on the boat.

Those noble women brought their children to visit one after another, but the boat caught fire when it sailed into the river, and the people inside were so frightened that they all jumped into the water to escape. In such chaos, the children just disappeared.

Some said that it was because they fled for their lives and jumped into the river and were washed away by the river. Some said that they were burned to death and sank to the bottom of the river. In fact, some people said that it was human traffickers.

Chu Yunpan walked by these people step by step, and not far away, Yu Yang hurried over: "Third Master, Liao Shoufu and others have all gone up to court."

"En." Chu Yunpan responded coldly, got on his horse, and galloped towards the palace.

Walking into the main hall, there was a mess of porridge inside.

Because several of the missing were the sons of the courtiers, led by Lu Shangshu, they all shouted at Suifeng, the deputy commander of the imperial guards: "It's been a whole night, and you can't even catch a shadow?"

"The river is too fast, and we are already doing our best to salvage it." Sui Feng said.

"Lao Lao Lao..." Lu Shangshu's eyes were so anxious that his eyes turned red. If he waited any longer, the child would have drowned long ago.

"Shang Shu, calm down, the child didn't fall into the river, but the trafficker is coming again." Cheng Fu Yin stepped forward in a low voice.

"Human traffickers?" Liao Shoufu said coldly, "I just caught a group of people not long ago. How long has it been since they committed crimes against the wind? Impossible."

"Shoufu, this king feels that this method is indeed like a human trafficker. Whether it was last year or the first month, the children who disappeared were all four or five-year-old children, older or younger. But now, the monks and grandchildren of Shangshu seem to be about the same. Big." King Lu frowned and looked at Lu Shangshu: "How old is Shangshu's little monk and grandson? I remember, maybe five or six years old?"

"Five years old." Lu Shangshu said with a sullen face.

"My child is also five years old." Ning Guohou said. "I got September, only six years old."

Lu Shangshu and the other three nobles who had lost their children were surprised. Lu Shangshu said: "My little monk's grandson is also born in September, the tenth day of September."

"That's right, the tenth day of September!"

"What's going on here?" King Lu looked puzzled, turned his head to Fu Yin and said, "Let's go check on the children who disappeared in the first month and see when their birthdays are."

At that time, when investigating human traffickers, only the name list was handed in below, and the age was not marked. After all, no matter how old they were, they were all caught by human traffickers, and the children could be rescued if they were caught.

Who would have thought that this age seems to imply some mystery.

"Let this case be investigated by the king." A cold voice sounded.

Everyone present trembled involuntarily, and when they turned around, they saw Chu Yunpan walking in with the cold wind, covered in ice.
