It was already dark outside, and the owner of the door insisted on leaving the prince for dinner before leaving, but the prince refused on the grounds that the meal sent by the corpse did not necessarily meet his appetite.

This sentence made Mai Jiu, who was standing beside him, unconscious of a cold sweat, fortunately, the person next to him was a prince, if he was an ordinary person with such a stinky mouth, he would have died many times.

The Hui Sect was a little far away from the capital, and along the way, Mai Jiu looked at the dark surroundings, and his heart trembled a little, for fear that a ghost fire would suddenly appear in the forest on both sides.

After a long time of bumps, I finally arrived in the capital, and as soon as I walked into the rocky road, I saw that Aunt Wang and many neighbors were already standing at the door of each house with lanterns in hand.

Aunt Wang had already said that Xiaohu Niang was going to be treated, and after dinner, they didn't sleep and came out to wait, just to know the result.

It was the first time Mai Jiu had seen such enthusiastic neighbors, she, who had lived in a high-rise building, had no concept of the word neighbor at all, and the family on the other side of the door never greeted each other.

Sang Huai'an took Mai Jiu off the horse, and Aunt Wang trotted all the way and hurriedly asked, "How is it!" ”

On the carriage in the rear, Xiaohu lifted the curtain and asked his mother to come down first, Aunt Wang was overjoyed to see Xiaohu Niang carrying bags of medicine in her hand, she looked at Mai Jiu, and Mai Jiu also nodded slightly.

All of a sudden, the neighbors surrounded Xiaohu and his mother.

Mai Jiu looked at them with a smile, it was good to have such a neighbor, and then Sang Huai'an behind him said happily: "Don't look at it, this king is dying of hunger." ”

Mai Jiu's face suddenly fell, and she turned around and just wanted to go back when she saw a figure not far away.

She squinted her eyes and saw that it was the father and son she had seen in the afternoon, and the old man was looking at this side with a smile on his face.

Aunt Wang came over and asked enthusiastically, "Xiao Jiu, have you had dinner, come to Aunt Wang's house for a bite?" ”

Mai Jiu shook his head and hurriedly refused: "No need Aunt Wang." Speaking of this, she remembered something and hurriedly asked, "I heard Xiaohu say that he still has a sister, right?" ”

Aunt Wang hissed, pulled Mai Jiu and whispered: "I was sold, and the neighbors in our street didn't dare to talk about this in front of Xiaohu Niang, and I cried when I mentioned her." ”

"Do you know where it went?"

Aunt Wang shook her head again and again: "I don't know." ”

After saying goodbye to Xiaohu and his mother, Mai Jiu and Sang Huai'an rode on horseback and walked on the street, and the people on the street were still quite lively.

Mai Jiu asked in a low voice, "If I was also born in a poor family, would I also be sold?" ”

Because on the horse, the distance between the two was very close, and Sang Huai'an's deep magnetic voice sounded in Mai Jiu's ears: "Now Da'an has ordered a ban on human trafficking, but it still can't stop them from trading secretly. ”

"So have you ever thought about changing the situation?"

"I've thought about it, but this king's ability is limited..."

Mai Jiu didn't continue to ask questions, and the two returned to the palace.

As soon as he returned to Yi'an Hospital, Mai Jiu threw himself into the bed, and he didn't even have dinner.

She is a touching person, in modern times, she does not have the ability to help people in need, and the only help is to meet the old man who buys vegetables on the way home to buy more and let him go home early.

She admits she's sad again.

Day 2

Early in the morning, Sang Huai'an was nowhere to be seen, Mai Jiu got up and yawned and tugged at his messy hair.

After breakfast, the beauty store sent a letter about opening a branch.

Mai Jiu mentioned this matter when it opened, and now although the business of this shop is very good and the geographical location is okay, it is not what Mai Jiu wants.

Mai Jiu folded the letter and put it on the table, and the new shop was not on Suzaku Street, but on a street that he didn't frequent, and that street was next to many mansions, and officials and nobles came and went.

The analysis in the letter was very detailed, and Mai Jiu accepted this matter, and now she is finally a little happier.

At this time, Sang Huai'an was leading a team of people, walking towards the bamboo forest of Yangliu Village with high spirits, today's bamboo forest is a little more normal than yesterday, and the guards will only walk into the depths of the bamboo forest when they find no abnormality after the guards inspect for a week.

The door of the hut opened, as if it knew that someone would come, as if it opened the door to greet it.

There was a chair in the center of the room, and on it sat a man whose head was tilted back and he couldn't see his face.

Sang Huai'an stopped at the door, and Shen Qianyue said, "Lord Wang, my subordinates will go first and test it." ”

Sang Huai'an didn't reply, he walked straight in, there was no one else in the room, only a lot of flies circling around the corpse.

Sang Huai'an saw the mask, the totem on it was extremely familiar, he took out the embroidered handkerchief from his waist and took it off through the handkerchief.

Without any accidents, the dead person was Bai Yusheng, his eyes were still open, and the blood that flowed out had already coagulated on his face.

Sang Huai'an looked at the corpse, the corpse was not stiff, but there were already large corpse spots, and it seemed that he had been dead for more than five days.

Sang Huaian handed the mask to Shen Qianyue behind him, he turned his head and waited for Bai Yusheng to take one last look before he said, "Bury him." With that, he walked out of the house.

The clue was broken again, Sang Huai'an was restless, and it was about to be the tenth day, and the commander found it but the perpetrator had no clue.

I knew it was that group of people, but I just couldn't find it, and every time it disappeared like the world evaporated.

Yi'an Hospital

Near the afternoon, the guards came to report that they had found the house where Xiaohua was now, and Mai Jiu, who was slumped on the bed and eating grapes, stood up directly.

I didn't expect the ancient people to be so efficient and find out so quickly?

Mai Jiu ran out of the palace with Zhihua, and when he found the place where the guards spoke, Mai Jiu and Zhihua looked at the gate of the carved tree, and did not dare to enter for a while.

Mai Jiu looked up at the plaque above the gate - Ma Fu.

There was no way, so the two could only sit on the tea stall not far away and wait and see what happened.

Suddenly, the door opened, and a richly dressed woman walked out, followed by a nurse-like man holding a girl of four or five years old.

Mai Jiu put her hands in front of her eyes to make the shape of a telescope, the sunset was so intense that she couldn't see clearly.

The woman got into the carriage, and the nurse walked up with the girl in her arms, and the carriage moved slowly and quickly left Mai Jiu's sight.

Mai Jiu lowered her hand and retracted her gaze when she happened to see the stall owner, and she asked, "Do you know what the situation of the youngest daughter of the inner family is?" ”

The stall owner wiped the table with a rag in his hand, he stopped his movements and looked at Mai Jiu, who stretched out his finger and pointed at Ma Fu.

After understanding what Mai Jiu meant, he leaned closer and said: "That child, I found it at the door last year, Mrs. Ma gave birth to three boys, and then Lord Ma's other concubines gave birth to four boys one after another, and they didn't give birth to a daughter." ”

Speaking of this, the stall owner sat directly next to Mai Jiu, and continued with a dance: "When I saw this little girl, Mrs. Ma thought it was a gift from God, good guy, I love it very much, and she said to the outside world that she was her own daughter, and she didn't leave her hand to serve her delicious food and drink." ”

Mai Jiu wondered: "Then how do you know?" ”

The stall owner shook his head and said: "I saw the stall at sunrise early in the morning, it was two old people who threw it at the door, and the child could only stand, and then the people in the house noticed the abnormality and walked out, and then I looked at it, and the two old people had already run away." ”

Mai Jiu looked at Ma Fu again, and for a while she didn't know what to do.

After drinking two cups of tea at the stall owner, Mai Jiu and Zhihua returned to the palace.

As soon as Mai Jiu walked into the gate of the palace, Sang Huai'an also stopped at the door on his horse, and Mai Jiu could only stop and wait for Sang Huai'an.

The first thing Sang Huai'an said when he saw Mai Jiu was: "Out of the house?" ”

Mai Jiu nodded.

"Went to Mafu?" Sang Huai'an walked towards the mansion as he spoke, and Mai Jiu hurriedly followed.

Mai Jiu asked curiously, "How did you find out?" ”

Sang Huai'an said in a flat tone: "You can't just torture to extract confessions. ”

Mai Jiu twitched the corner of his mouth. What do you mean? She didn't understand.

Sang Huai'an continued: "Didn't you say that Xiaohu's grandparents sold his sister? It would be nice to find out where you live, and you will be asked as soon as you ask. ”

"Then you really tortured to extract a confession?"

Sang Huai'an replied indifferently: "That's natural, even my own granddaughter can be sold, why do you pity this kind of person." ”

They were silent all the way, until the two of them walked to Yi'an Courtyard, and as soon as they entered the house, Mai Jiu said, "I have something I want to refer to your opinion." ”

Sang Huai'an sat on a chair in the room, waved his big hand and said, "Speak." ”

Mai Jiu also sat on the chair, she approached Sang Huai'an a little and asked, "I went to see it today, Xiaohu's grandparents didn't sell Xiaohua, they probably heard that Mrs. Ma wanted a daughter very much and put Xiaohua at the door of Mafu." ”

Zhihua brought the tea, and Sang Huai'an took it and asked, "And then?" ”

"And then... I found that Xiaohua lived a good life, and Mrs. Ma treated her like a child born to her own hands, and I was thinking..."

Sang Huai'an took a sip of tea, put the teacup on the table and said, "Are you thinking about whether to tell Xiaohu and his mother Xiaohua's situation, whether to let Xiaohua continue to stay in the Ma Mansion, or to help his mother find Xiaohua back and reunite mother and daughter." ”

Mai Jiu nodded: "Yes, I don't know what to do." ”

Sang Huai'an looked at Mai Jiu with a serious face: "According to this king, you should go and ask Xiaohu Niang's opinion, if she wants to find it back, we will help her and reunite their mother and daughter, if she is unwilling to find it after hearing about Xiaohua's recent situation, then this matter can be regarded as a successful end." ”

Hearing this, Mai Jiu nodded repeatedly.

Early the next morning, Mai Jiu went to Xiaohu's house, as soon as he entered the courtyard, Xiaohu ran to Mai Jiu and hugged her, Xiaohu Niang didn't dare to come out, so she could only stand at the door and greet her with a smile.

Mai Jiu told Xiaohu Niang about finding Xiaohua, and after hearing it, Xiaohu Niang first took a deep breath, and her face was relaxed, as if a big stone in her heart had finally fallen.

Xiaohu stood at the door of the inner room and listened, but he didn't dare to step forward or speak.

Xiaohu Niang glanced at Xiaohu and said, "It's good to have Xiaohu with you." ”

Mai Jiu understood, Xiaohu Niang chose to let Xiaohua continue to live in Mafu, Xiaohua in Mafu will have more choices than Xiaohua in Rock Road, and will have a better life.

On the road of life, we will all go through many choices, and these choices will determine your destiny.
