Chapter 21 The Case of the Disappearance of Children I

When his brother rushed to King Ming's mansion, he came to her sister's room, saw Ye Xi who was unconscious on the bed, saluted King Ming, and sat on the edge of the bed, he was anxious, "Sister, little sister, wake up quickly!" ”

Zhong Licong sat at the table in the room and whispered, "She just drank the medicine, you can wait for her to wake up slowly!" ”​

Ye Yi sat on the edge of the bed, glanced at Zhong Licong, and his face was grateful, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Ming, for saving the minister's sister!" I'm going to take her back now, live in your Ming Palace, the minister doesn't feel suitable, it's better to take her back! ”​

Zhong Licong didn't say anything? After all, as a woman, living in her own mansion will cause people to gossip, and she is still waiting to be married.

Ye Yi gently picked her up, lightly carried her to the door of the mansion. The carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion was waiting, and he gently put Ye Xi into the carriage and let her lie in his arms.

When Ye Xi woke up, it was already dawn, and his eldest brother personally fed her medicine, and after drinking it, she gradually fell asleep.

After a week, her injuries were all healed, and she was ready to go to Borentang again, but his brother asked her to rest for a few more days, and Ye Xi rested for another two days, and then went to Borentang for a doctor as usual.

In the past few months since Ye Xi came to Rongjiang Kingdom, she has secretly cultivated a group of her own people, who either learn medicine and poison, or learn marksmanship, or learn hidden weapons, or learn song and dance, of course, she also let them learn ancient martial arts.

Although she doesn't know ancient martial arts, but she has these resources, why waste it, her brother's study has a lot of martial arts secrets, anyway, she can't use her brother's martial arts, so she copied a few of them and handed them over to them, so they can learn by themselves, and of course, there are internal skills.

She also wants to learn, but she doesn't have time many times, so she simply doesn't study, only specializes in medical skills, she wants to make her medical skills reach the point of being supernatural and unpredictable, and then she can do whatever she wants, whether she is saving people or killing people.

This morning, she went to Borentang, and saw a group of officers and soldiers on the street, searching from house to house.

She grabbed an eldest lady and asked, "What happened?" ”

The lady, dressed in a coarse linen garment, whispered, "I heard that many children have been missing in the city lately!"

I don't know if it's the one who should be killed, and he didn't even let go of the child! That kind of person should be cut with a thousand cuts. She couldn't help but scold.

Ye Xi listened to this, and felt uncomfortable, after all, it was a group of children, but she was not an official and could not do anything.

Ye Xi thought of her child, an unspeakable grief rose in her heart, thinking of this, she hated the emperor of Chengguo even more, and Shen Yunhan, if she couldn't ruin the entire Chengguo in this life and avenge her family, she would be thundered by the sky, she thought bitterly in her heart.

Ye Xi saw that the eldest lady in front of her seemed to be shocked by the anger in her eyes, she gently restrained the anger, changed to a smile, and then she walked to her pharmacy.

After Ye Xi entered her pharmacy, she began to see a doctor, and today she needs to see fifteen patients, all of whom have made appointments a few days ago.

She spent the morning treating people, there should have been fifteen people, but now there is one less.

She asked the shopkeeper to find out who was the person who didn't come? It was a child and a widow who had heard that her husband had died a few years earlier, and that she had raised the child alone.

Ye Xi asked the shopkeeper, "Why didn't they come?" With a suspicious expression, she guessed in her heart that it couldn't be missing!

The shopkeeper sighed, "Alas! Her child heard that she disappeared yesterday and doesn't know what happened to her? The shopkeeper sighed with sympathy on his face.

When Ye Xi heard this, she was not at ease, "Shopkeeper, you look at the shop, I'll go see her!" ”

Ye Xi knew where she lived, because when she made an appointment in advance, she wrote the address.

She followed what others said and came to the west of the city, of course, followed by Yan Limei, protecting her all the way.

When Ye Xi arrived at her house, he saw a palm-sized earthen wall house with a roof made of wool and grass.

She saw a group of officers and soldiers standing in front of her door, the leader of whom seemed to be inquiring about the situation.

Someone saw her and shouted, "Who? ”

The woman's grief-stricken countenance, which was pale, answered the prestige and explained in mourning, "My lord, she is the child's chief doctor, and her name is Ye Xi. ”

When the word Ye Xi entered his ears, he was surprised, Ye Xi, could it be Ye Xi from the Prime Minister's Mansion, I heard that she is very good at medicine.

He thought he was wrong, but when she walked in and looked closer, it was really her, and he had also seen a woman who looked amazing in front of him at the banquet, and one of the two countries, the emperor and the prince, were the first to marry her, and I heard rumors that the three countries almost fought because of this.

When she approached, he couldn't help but be amazed, she was indeed beautiful, no wonder the two of them were vying to marry her, he thought to himself.

Ye Xi shouted, "Eldest sister, today I saw that you were delayed in the future inspection, I was worried about the child's illness, so I took the liberty to come and ask, please forgive me!" ”

The eldest sister has never seen such a humble and gentle woman, not to mention that the woman in front of her is not a simple doctor at first glance, and it is estimated that her identity is very noble, otherwise the Dali Siqing in front of her will have to salute her when she sees the woman in front of her.

I saw the respectful greeting of Dali Siqing, "The minister participates in the princess!" ”

Of course, she is the sister-in-law of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother personally named her Princess Lingping, and she will marry to the West Di Kingdom as the queen in a few months, and her identity is of course extremely noble.

When the woman heard this, she was stunned and ready to kneel down and salute at once. Ye Xi held her up and smiled softly, "Eldest sister doesn't have to be like this, just like usual!" ”

She turned her head to look at Dali Siqing, with a supple smile, "You don't have to be polite, my lord, I'm just coming to see my patient!" Go on! ”

Dali Siqing continued to ask the woman, "Yesterday, after you took your child to finish the work in the field, you came home, and your child is still there, what time was it?" ”

She thought about it for a moment, "The woman remembers that the sun had just set, and it should have been just after midnight. ”

Dali Temple continued to ask a few questions, "Did anything happen after returning home?" When did the child not see? ”

The woman thought for a moment with worry in her eyes and said, "When the women came home, they went to the stove to make food, and it took about half an hour before they came out.

When the woman came out, the child was gone, and she searched all over the house and outside the house, but she didn't see half a figure. ”

She wanted to report the case in the second half of the night yesterday, but it was too late, and the yamen didn't open at all, so she had to wait until this morning, and as soon as it was a little bright, she went to Dali Temple to report the case.

After Ye Xi listened, he secretly thought that after the child went home, he disappeared, which means that the child disappeared between the time and the time.

Ye Xi couldn't help but ask, "Eldest sister, when you were looking for the child last night, or before this, you could find something wrong, or you could see someone passing by your house." ”

What did she seem to have in mind with this reminder? She expressed eagerly, "When I was cooking last night, I went out to fetch water from the well at the entrance of the village, and when I came back, I saw a figure at the door, standing in that corner, and I thought I was wrong!" She said and pointed in that direction.

Dali Siqing was a little surprised, but she didn't expect the woman in front of her to ask the key point at once.

Dali Siqing was thinking, who doesn't go home at night and wanders by other people's walls, either this person is the murderer of this case, or this person has an accomplice, and then when the accomplice arrests the child, he will let the wind go, they should cooperate inside and outside, and kidnap the child.

Ye Xi thought of the same thing, however, she was thinking, there was another possibility, that is, someone had been peeking at this eldest sister, after all, this eldest sister was still very young, and she looked good, giving people a feeling of being a little jasper.

Dali Siqing continued to ask, Ye Xi said a few words, and she left.

After Ye Xi came out, she saw many people watching outside the wall, and she asked who were the neighbors of her house.

I saw a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman in the crowd, and they nodded.

Ye Xi asked a few words, "Did you see any suspicious people last night, or could you hear any movement next to you?" ”

The middle-aged man shook his head, saying that he didn't see it, so she had to ask the other family, who was also her neighbor. It's just that there is only one old woman in this family, and her grandson.

She came to the door of the family herself, and when she came out, a young man supported a trembling old woman, who had a kind face and a muddy voice, "What is the matter with the girl?" ”

Ye Xi said softly with a smooth face, "Old woman, can you hear any strange movements in Sister Qi's house next to you last night?" ”

The old woman thought for a long time, "The old woman went to bed early last night, and she is old, and her ears are not good, and the old woman can't hear any movement next to her." ”

Her grandson said a few words, "Last night I heard a dog barking in Sister Qi's yard, but after barking a few times, I didn't bark anymore, I don't know if this counts." ”

When Ye Xi heard this, she was very grateful, said a word of thanks, and then gave the young man a few pieces of loose silver, and left the place.

She was thinking about it, if a stranger entered Sister Qi's house last night, Sister Qi was cooking and stir-frying, and she didn't hear any movement outside, and the murderer at this time took the opportunity to climb over the wall or secretly open the door, sneak in and steal the child.

Anyway, she first went to see if the latch of Sister Qi's door had been pried on.

She came to Sister Qi's door, looked at the latch on the door, and found that it had not been pried, so it was another possibility.

Ye Xi thought, it seems that the murderer came in over the wall last night, took advantage of Sister Qi's cooking in the stove, knocked the child unconscious, and secretly took it away.

It's just that what is the figure that Sister Qi saw last night? There is also why the murderer arrested those children, whether it was for abduction and trafficking, or for other things, she has to find out, after all, Sister Qi's child is her own patient.

That child is also quite pitiful, so young, suffering from congenital asthma, no wonder Sister Qi washes her face with tears every time she comes, one is crying that her child is still so young, she has an incurable disease, and the other is crying for herself, she is still so young, she became a widow, and only their orphans and widows are left in the family.

She prayed in her heart that the child would not have an asthma attack and would live.
