The snow stopped, stopped, and at this time it fluttered in the air like goose feathers.

Those who are peasants want to be rich, and those who are rich want to be officials, but who knows that the life of being an official is not easy now.

The county magistrate walked around the room, his palms were still beating, his beard was about to be blown to the sky with anger, and his mouth kept saying: "What's the matter, is it that this year and I have a bad luck?" It is better to say that there was a flood a few days ago, and now that I have lost so many children, where can I find them? ”

"Don't worry, sir, these children ......"

"Not in a hurry? Can I not be in a hurry? Before the master finished speaking, the county magistrate immediately yelled at him.

It's no wonder that the county magistrate has a bad temper, but he is already busy now.

The previous county magistrate was also dismissed for buying and selling children's voices, and he finally took office, and he originally wanted to do something, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen one after another.

The most difficult thing to do is that there are several children smuggled in the town without any clue, the parents and the people are forced to do it, and the people under them are not effective, and they almost want to push him into a desperate situation.

"Master, there are two people beating drums outside."

"Drumming and crying out?" The county magistrate brought his own black gauze hat. "But what's the grievance?"

"I don't know, those two people said they had something very important to tell you."

"Go see?"

The master and the county master walked to the public hall, and saw Shen Qingqing and Lin Zhong, these two people were dressed quite considerately, and they couldn't help but make people look up when they stopped here.

The county lord sat on the court and patted him in shock: "You two, what are your grievances?" ”

Lin Zhong and Shen Qingqing glanced at each other, Lin Zhong stepped forward and bowed with both hands: "If you go back to the county master, the two of us have no grievances." ”

"It's just presumptuous, what are you doing without any grievances?" The master was afraid that the county master would be angry, so he hurriedly spoke.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhong said next: "Now we have found a few kidnappers in a ruined temple, as well as many children, and those children are afraid that they have been kidnapped. ”

"Are you serious?" The county master's eyes lit up and asked.

"We saw it with our own eyes."

This sentence is still available, it is really to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to go, it takes no effort to get it, just now the county master was very busy for this matter, and now there is a clue that time does not wait for anyone, and he immediately sent some catchers to go to the broken temple.

It's also to blame Shen Qingqing for their timely reporting of the news, coupled with the fact that they are fast and have a large number of people, they arrested all those people at once.

Because Shen Qingqing and Lin Zhong were from the official mansion, they couldn't leave yet, so they could only wait on the side.

There were about three or four kidnappers, all of whom were pressed into the prison for trial, and the children who were tied up all fell unconscious for unknown reasons.

Lin Zhong and Shen Qingqing couldn't wait on the side, those unconscious children were all placed in a room, and there were seven or eight children lying on a big bed, all of them fell into a coma, their faces were sallow, and they didn't look right.

Shen Qingqing knew at a glance that these children were definitely not caused by malnutrition, but seemed to have other characteristics.

There were also some officers and soldiers next to him, those officers and soldiers were all clumsy men, and they didn't know how to take care of them, but when they saw Shen Qingqing coming, they didn't feel embarrassed because the county lord had specially instructed them.

When Shen Qingqing just wanted to take a look at those children, he saw the county master and the master come in from behind, with a sad face.

"County Master, what's going on?"

The county magistrate also knew that Shen Qingqing was the number one person, and he had a good relationship with Zhen Qian Liu, and he invited the prefect over when he got married before, so he also looked down on Shen Qingqing: "I can't confess anyway, those kidnappers are some dead soldiers at a glance, and I am afraid it will take hard work to pry some words out of their mouths." ”

The county magistrate looked at the children lying on the bed again: "How are these children?" ”

Shen Qingqing shook his head: "I don't know yet, I'll take a look." ”

Shen Qingqing said to help these children take their pulses, only to find that the pulses of these children were extremely weak, but they found that something was wrong.

Shen Qingqing frowned and took out the spiritual spring water he was carrying with him and let these children drink them one by one, and when he wanted to say something, an officer and soldier should come to report: "Master, there are many people outside who have come to claim their children. ”

"Good. I'll deal with it right now. ”

The county master is also busy enough, he just sat down and his butt was not warm, and now he has to deal with these things.

But after a while, three or four women ran into the house, and when they saw the child lying on the bed, they hurried over and hugged him: "My child, my mother has found you, and you are worried about your mother." ”

"Where have you been these days, my child? It's all bad for mothers. ”

It seems that these women's children have been lost for a long time, and they are crying and crying.

Shen Qingqing pulled them away: "Now there is something wrong with these children, and we can't find out what the specific illness is, if you really want the good of the children, let me come and watch it quickly." ”

The county master's mood eased a little, and when he heard Shen Qingqing say this, he stepped forward and asked, "How are these children?" ”

Shen Qingqing sat on the edge of the bed and put his fingers on the child's pulse: "I don't know, but you see that these children's faces are very bad, and they seem to have been poisoned, but I can't detect it." ”

If it is according to the past, no matter what the symptoms are, as long as they drink some spiritual spring water, they can immediately see the effect, but these children have drunk a lot of spiritual spring water and it still has no effect.

The master's brain turned quickly, and he whispered: "Master, have you noticed that the symptoms of these children are similar to those of the kidnappers?" ”

"Oh, it's true." After the master said this, the county master also found out and said to Shen Qingqing. "This lady, when I went to interrogate the kidnappers just now, I found that the state of the kidnappers is similar to that of these children, is there anything strange about this?"

"This ......," Shen Qingqing frowned, and couldn't say a thing or two.

Just as I was about to check it again, a little girl opened her eyes, and her eyes were like grapes, not to mention how cute they were.

Shen Qingqing immediately ran to her side, held her little hand and said, "Child, don't be afraid, this is very safe for the government, what happened to you before, why did it become like this?" Have you gotten some poison? ”

Shen Qingqing asked a series of questions, it was too urgent, if it was replaced by other children, she would have been scared a long time ago, maybe because this little girl was trained by those kidnappers, at this time, she was a little calm, and her voice was as soft as glutinous sugar: "Madam, we have all been poisoned." ”

"Poison? What poison do you know? Shen Qingqing took her hand and just wanted to continue asking, but the little girl fell asleep again.

I was afraid that I suddenly woke up just now and saw Shen Qingqing before I calmly said those words.

"Hurry up and ask the doctor to come and have a look." The county magistrate slapped the table and immediately patted it, and after a while, four or five doctors came over.

These doctors are all famous doctors in the town, and it stands to reason that it should not be a problem to treat some incurable diseases, but no one thought that those doctors shook their heads after seeing the symptoms of those children, and they couldn't say a reason.

"It's a tough thing to do." Shen Qingqing and Lin Zhong glanced at each other, knowing that it was not trivial, and they were afraid that they would not be able to go back tonight.

The county magistrate was also very grateful to Shen Qingqing and hurriedly vacated a room in the official mansion for the two of them to live in the forest.

Shen Qingqing couldn't rest assured of the child, and took care of it for a few hours at night, and just when he wanted to leave, he saw that suddenly a dream came out of a little boy's mouth, and his hand seemed to be slipping in the air, and the cry was getting louder and louder, alarming the officers and soldiers next to him.

Just after dark, the official mansion suddenly became bright again, and the child's mother hurriedly ran over and hugged him in her arms: "Son, what's wrong with you?" Your mother is here, and you can tell me what you have to do. ”

The child opened his eyes and touched his mother's face and wanted to speak, but when his mouth just opened, he spit out a mouthful of blood, staining the ground red.

Shen Qingqing saw that things were not good, and hurriedly asked the mother to get out of the way, and when she just held the child in her arms, the child vomited a mouthful of blood again, and her eyes were closed.

Shen Qingqing's whole movement was squatting in place, her hand was on the child's snort, and the whole person collapsed to the ground: "No...... It's out of gas. ”

"My baby!" With Shen Qingqing's words, the mother cried heartbreakingly, hugged the child and collapsed to the ground, the whole person closed her eyes and looked up to the sky and cried, almost alarming everyone in the official mansion.

The county magistrate hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed over, and the mother hugged her child and shouted loudly: "My son, my hard-working child, how can you be so good that you are gone, and your mother has not protected you." ”

"Hurry! Put this little kid down! The county magistrate shouted.

Unexpectedly, the mother lost her mind, and the child in her arms crashed to death on the wall.

Two lives were lost in vain overnight, and the county magistrate was stunned when he saw this picture, he was about to be driven crazy.
