He quickly set up a stove with his hands and feet, and got some firewood from the firehead, and the crucian carp was quickly stewed.

The emperor took a few ministers and princes for a walk nearby, and when he saw Gu Wanning's stove fire rising here, he came over curiously: "The Huotou Army has prepared a meal, why are you still on fire here?" ”

Gu Wanning saluted the emperor: "The servant girl of the son saw that there were fish in this river, so she caught some and prepared to stew a fish soup, if the father does not dislike it, you can taste it later." ”

The emperor still remembered Qiu Ju, after all, he was the one who had made ramen for him, and knew that she was a good cook, so he nodded, "Okay, then try it." ”

He didn't stay here long, and after saying a few words, he raised his feet and walked forward.

Ye Hanyu deliberately took a few steps behind, winked at Gu Wanning, and then hurriedly followed.

Gu Wanning was so amused by him that her eyebrows and eyes were bent.

The interaction between the two was seen by the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and the old man smiled and frowned.

I didn't expect that the relationship between this young couple was quite good, seeing that King Yujun usually had a straight face all day long, I didn't expect that there would be such a side.

Xi Jing soon came out of the mountains and forests with the guards, and it seemed that he had gained a lot, in addition to pheasants and hares, he also hunted an adult sika deer, and the guards cleaned up the prey by the river with their hands and feet, and then took it to the imperial kitchen to choose, and the rest was taken to the fire head army.

When the sky darkened, torches were planted around and a bonfire was lit, the imperial kitchen's meal was almost ready, the prince and the ministers were left to eat with the emperor, Gu Wanning sent a portion of the fish soup to the imperial tent, and she solved the dinner with a few maidservants.

It was still a little cold on the side of the mountain at night, Gu Wanning was a little sleepy and didn't wait for Ye Hanyu to go directly into the tent to rest, in the middle of the night, there was a sudden sound of a dog barking on the side of the mountain, followed by noisy voices and footsteps, Gu Wanning was awakened all of a sudden, Ye Hanyu didn't know when she came back, so she slept next to her, as soon as she opened her eyes, the man was lightly putting on a coat.

"You're awake too?"

"Master go and see what's going on, and by the way, let Hongmei come over to accompany you."

The sound outside was getting closer and closer, Ye Hanyu put on his clothes and walked out of the tent, and the guards who were keeping vigil had already ridden to the front to inquire about the situation.

The guard soon came back to report: "Three children were lost in Zhujia Village before, and now the whole village is looking for those three children, but there are no clues, and the child doesn't know when he lost it." ”

On the mountain road, the light of the torches slowly approached the camp, and the villagers were agitated, and a few of them were clamoring to come and look for the children, how dare the guards let this group of villagers approach, in case they disturbed the holy car, they had ten heads that were not enough to cut off.

"Why are you stopping us from inspecting?"

"Because there are no children of yours here, don't blame the official for your sins if you dare to make a noise."

"Amazing to be an official? If you say that you will punish the crime, you will punish the crime! That's three men, what's wrong with you asking us to find out? ”

"Yes, people have been sent to look for it nearby, and I haven't even seen a ghost, what if the thief is hiding in your camp?"

"When you didn't come, our village didn't lose any children, but the three children you changed vegetables today were lost, if you want to say that this has nothing to do with you, who believes it?"

Xi Jing has been paying attention to the person who spoke, this person was the first to encourage the villagers, and he was the first to suspect that there was something wrong with their group.

As long as he has long eyes, anyone can see that their group of people has a great background, and he claims to be his own official, it stands to reason that the common people only have to hide, how dare they go up and offend?

"What's the use of stealing children? And what thief did you see who stole something and didn't leave, and waited where he was? ”

One of the women suddenly cried out, "Master, you can do it, my family is just a little bean and a lone seedling, he is only six years old this year, if he really loses it, I don't want to live!" ”

The other two women, who had lost their children, also began to cry and cry loudly.

Xi Jing frowned slightly, he still remembered this woman, in the evening, he took his men to the village to change vegetables, and she also said that after changing the money, she would go to the town tomorrow to buy candy for her son.

The emperor naturally heard such a big movement, "Li Changhai, what time is it?" ”

Li Changhai hurriedly put on a dress for the emperor, "If you go back to the emperor, it's already ugly." ”

"Since you have encountered it, you will help find someone, and if you can't find it by dawn, you will send someone to the nearby county office and let the local parents and officials take care of it."

Li Changhai hurriedly got out of the tent, walked quickly to Xi Jing, and passed on the emperor's words.

After Li Changhai finished speaking, he hurried back to serve the emperor, Xi Jing saw that the women were crying louder and louder, so he said loudly: "This sister-in-law, our master has already confessed, tonight send guards to help you find the child, if you haven't found it by dawn, you will go to the county government to ask the county lord to help find it, although you can rest assured, the child will definitely be recovered." ”

"You said lightly, the county lord is so easy to move? The year before last, we had a few babies in the next village abducted by kidnappers, and the village was taking a few families who lost their children to report the case, and the county lord collected ten taels of silver from those families, and as a result, he sent a few officials to pretend to look for a long time, even if the search was finished, so far the children have not been recovered. ”

Xi Jing couldn't help frowning, it seems that stealing children here is quite rampant, and this county lord is a little inactive.

"Lin Yi, you take two teams of guards to accompany these villagers to find the whereabouts of the child, and if you haven't found it yet, you will go to the county office."

Lin Yi received the order, ordered two teams of guards, and then beckoned the people to continue looking for the child.

The most important thing is that as the leader of the official said, it is impossible for people to steal children at first glance, and they have the help of others, so they left quickly, after all, they still have to find children!

Gu Wanning listened to the sound outside gradually disappearing, and then the man entered the tent, "Sleep, it's okay." ”

"How could it be so coincidental? But the person who led the Xi to change things lost the child? ”

Ye Hanyu also felt that this was very strange, as if someone was trying to plant a blame on their group, but at first glance, they didn't look like human traffickers.

"If you don't understand, don't think about it yet, go to sleep."

The man took off his coat and lay down beside Gu Wanning, and one arm naturally stretched out under her neck, and he was about to hug the person in his arms.
