But at this time, Master Xu didn't dare to have the slightest resentment in his heart, he only hoped that His Majesty would not be too angry, so as to behead their whole family.

A son can be reborn when he dies, but he can't be resurrected when he dies.

"What does Concubine Ai think? Are you willing to accept their apologies? Yu Liyuan turned his gaze to Shen Xingyue.

Shen Xingyue is the party concerned, her decision is valid, and no one can make decisions for her except her.

Shen Xingyue also nodded when she heard this: "Then do what Master Xu said." ”

Her voice was soft, and she didn't propose more punishments, which also made Master Xu breathe a sigh of relief.

That's the best.

At this time, Master Xu had completely forgotten what he was doing when he came here.

Of course, Shen Xingyue would not let go of the eldest young master of the Xu family, after all, if he had robbed not himself, but someone else, would those girls from good families be succeeded by him?

As for what Master Xu said would send people back, Shen Xingyue couldn't tell if this was a scene or not.

However, in the end, it was the mistake of the eldest young master of the Xu family, the Xu family donated half of the family property, which was already considered atonement, and the disaster would not affect the family, and Shen Xingyue also knew that he would accept it when he saw it.

Shen Xingyue was relieved, and of course Yu Liyuan didn't say anything more, just nodded and asked Wu Zhao to send people back and accept half of the family property they promised by the way.

The treasury is not empty, but the big war is imminent, and it would be great if one could add a little.

After solving this matter, the group came to the study of the City Lord's Mansion, in fact, today the Xu family is just by the way, the reason why Yu Liyuan summoned Wu Zhao is because there are more important things.

Wu Zhao took out a stack of files with a solemn face and handed them to Yu Liyuan: "These are all the news of these recent cases. ”

Yu Liyuan did not avoid Shen Xingyue, and directly opened the file, so that Shen Xingyue could watch it while sitting next to him.

The files are densely packed with records of the same type of cases, and roughly estimated, there are dozens of them, but so many files are not needed.

If you look closely, you will find that in each dossier, there is a collection of all similar cases in one place.

This is also the reason why the officials in those places knew that Yu Liyuan would come to Luoyang City, so they prepared in advance and handed it over to Wu Zhao at this time, so that he could tell Yu Liyuan.

The more Yu Liyuan looked at it, the more solemn his expression became, and even Shen Xingyue next to him held his breath.

On the fifth day of October, a seven-year-old girl in the west of the city disappeared and was never heard again.

On the seventh day of October, an eight-year-old boy in the south of the city went missing and has not been found.

……

And so on, all of them are missing news, so many people look at it, and it is already dozens of children's lives.

Shen Xingyue looked at the time and distance, and when Yu Liyuan turned to the end, she was also vigilantly aware of a phenomenon: "The person who made such a case has already come to Luoyang City." ”

The perpetrators have not been caught so far, but they will arrest three to five children in each place, and as they go deeper and deeper, there is now a case of disappearance in Luoyang City.

It is foreseeable that in the next few days, another family in Luoyang City will soon have another child missing.

This kind of thing is not dared to be announced directly, and can only be secretly searched, which also leads to the more and more rampant criminals who steal children.

"What should we do?" After reading the dossier, Shen Xingyue felt a chill in her heart.

She never thought that there would be such a vicious criminal in ancient times, and what they did was really contrary to human morality.

"Find someone." Yu Liyuan said in a deep voice.

The people who rely on the government can't find them, and the perpetrators are now becoming more and more arrogant, and often the two cases happen in the same place.

It was only a day after the disappearance of the child in Luoyang City, and the child's father and mother came to the government to report the case, and they were reported to Wu Zhao as soon as possible.

They didn't find a pattern of the perpetrators stealing children, they seemed to be very casual, and they would steal children once when they remembered it, the shortest time was one day apart, and the longest time was five days apart.

"Let's go to the missing child's house first." Yu Liyuan closed the file, and at this time the sun was already hanging high in the sky, but he still felt cold.

Shen Xingyue grabbed Yu Liyuan's hand, and when Yu Liyuan looked at it, she also said firmly: "The concubine is also going." ”

"The concubine can't know that after so many children were stolen, she is still indifferent, Your Majesty will take the concubine to take a look, otherwise the concubine will definitely have trouble sleeping." Shen Xingyue almost put worry on her face, and her words were also firm.

This made Wu Zhao's impression of Shen Xingyue a lot better, although this is a woman, but the attention of the people is not a lot at all, I heard that she does good deeds all year round, and she has perfectly managed the floods in Jiangnan before, and has not let the victims riot.

But those are all heard, this time seeing Shen Xingyue worried about these things, Wu Zhao admired Shen Xingyue more and more.

As a woman, she is not afraid of this kind of thing at all, and even takes the initiative to ask for help, which can be worthy of the title of a woman.

"Let's be together, then." Thinking that the child was stolen, and there was no blood at the scene, Yu Liyuan also agreed.

However, handling cases has always been very hard, and I hope that after Shen Xingyue investigates there, she will not be so interested.

Thinking like this, Yu Liyuan's gaze at Shen Xingyue softened a lot.

The family that lost the child happened to be in a small village on the edge of Luoyang City, and the couple was sighing at this time.

"It's been a day since I reported the case to the old men of the county government, why haven't I heard a word...... The child didn't know if he could find it. When a relative came, the woman began to weep and choked up.

When the man saw that his wife started crying again, he also said impatiently: "Don't cry, how many times have you cried this day, and you will be blinded by crying later." ”

"I'm really worried about the dog baby, he's such a small person, although the skin is a little skinny, but he is also lively, now that something like this has happened, even if you want to hear him make trouble, I can't hear it." The woman burst into tears, and her relatives persuaded her.

The man was silent, but his eyes were a lot redder.

He stood up, and said angrily: "I'll call a few people to go to the back mountain to look for it, you stay at home, don't make any trouble, it's not easy to find a son, I don't want to go to you again." ”

The woman also wiped her eyes and nodded: "Then remember to get enough dry food......

After speaking, she hesitated, and took out a piece of broken silver from her waist: "These two pieces of silver are the last savings of the family." ”
