He has enough fatherly love and mother's love, and there are many people who dote on him, and it is right to do more.

The three little sweethearts looked at each other, and the eldest prince deserved to be the most sensible and well-behaved of them.

The other side.

Tang Yingying and Mo Chen came to a restaurant, and the couple sat at the edge of the lobby, asking for a few side dishes and a pot of wine, and listening to the chats of the diners while eating.

"Have you heard about the prefectural order being clicked?"

"I've heard about it for a long time. It is said that the regent and his wife clicked, which is a good thing. This county order, tsk, no good things have been done, all bad things have been done, and those rich businessmen in the town are all accomplices."

"Those rich businessmen all clamped their tails and behaved as people, for fear of being settled by the regent's husband and wife. I just don't know if the regent and his wife will settle accounts with these rich businessmen."

Hearing this, Tang Yingying leaned her elbow against Mo Chen and whispered, "Do you want to deal with those rich merchants?"

Mo Chen snorted, "I've been waiting for the past few days, but no rich businessman has come to me, so I don't have to wait any longer."

Tang Yingying: "Nacheng, when we go back, we will deal with it." By the way, I just saw a knick-knackhead and snack that sells some for the kids, and they're sure to like it."

Mo Chen said "Okay": "Let's see what we want to buy, we will leave here in two days, and we have bought everything we should buy."

Tang Yingying thought about what she wanted to buy: "It's mainly for a few children to eat and wear. It doesn't matter if we adults are outside, but not a few children."

"Buy more food and ingredients that can be stored for a long time, as well as seasonings. Shall we take a boat this time?"

Mo Chen: "By land, let's see what the next town is like."

Tang Yingying thought it was okay: "Then let's hurry up, otherwise it will delay your participation in Zhuojie's wedding."

Mo Chen smiled, "It doesn't matter if we arrive later, as long as someone arrives."

Tang Yingying pursed her lips, but didn't say anything about it. Anyway, she doesn't like Zhuo Jie.

After the two had dinner, they went back to the county office.

The couple did not disturb the children, but invited their subordinates to inquire about the children.

The subordinate said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Great Prince, they have been investigating the case, and they have also ordered the secret guards to do things, and the servants have been working hard."

Tang Yingying's head bowed: "Let the kitchen send some food and drink."

"Yes." The subordinate saluted and retreated.

Tang Yingying packed up the things she bought, and she said to Mo Chen, "You go and do your business, let's leave early when we're done early."

Mo Chen told her a few words, and then went to go about his own business.

When Tang Yingying packed up all her things, she saw Mo Chen coming back, and she was a little surprised: "So fast?"

Mo Chen explained, "It's not hard bones, and it's all explained after a little questioning."

Tang Yingying sighed, "Do they know about the disappearance of the young girl?"

She poured a cup of tea for Mo Chen.

Mo Chen took it and drank, "Some know, some don't. Those who are very close to the former county magistrate know it, but these rich businessmen have all helped the former county magistrate to do evil."

"According to those wealthy businessmen, the former county magistrate also specially bought good-looking women, which is said to be used to honor his superiors, but more former county magistrates did not say. For this reason, they found or bought a lot of good-looking women and gave them to the county magistrate."

Tang Yingying frowned: "This kind of thing can't be broken."

Mo Chen also knows this: "If we can solve some of them, we will solve some of them, and we can't solve more of them."

They cannot be asked to go out all the time to investigate these things, and even if they are always to check them, they cannot cut off these things.

Tang Yingying also meant this: "Okay, this matter is solved, and the next thing is the case of the girl's disappearance." By the way, how long will it take for the people sent by His Majesty to arrive?"

Mo Chen calculated the time: "It will arrive today and tomorrow. When the time comes, we'll be able to leave."

Tang Yingying stretched: "I can finally go."

Finish. There are so many creeks here, and I'm a little wet."

It's hard to get used to staying here for a long time, but she still likes places that aren't so wet.

Before the people sent by the Holy Lord came, the former boss of the county order, Fu Yin, was arrested by the secret guards.

Atrium.

Mo Chen and Tang Yingying took a few children and interrogated Fu Yin.

Fu Yin kept wiping the sweat from his forehead, and the two trembled, he never thought that these things would be stabbed in front of the regent.

"Fu Yin, what's going on with the water bandits and the missing girl?" Mo Chen asked lightly.

Fu Yin wanted to say it clearly, but he understood that if he really said that, what awaited him would be the torture of life and death.

But he said it, and that life was gone.

"Wechen, Wechen......" He said for a long time, but he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Mo Chen ignored him, but looked at the eldest prince: "Your Highness thinks, how to clean him up?"

The eldest prince made a straight face: "Reward the whipping first." With so many punishments, he will always be honest."

"His Royal Highness the Great Prince spares his life! I beg His Royal Highness the Great Prince to spare his life!" Fu Yin kept kowtowing.

The eldest prince didn't bother to listen to him, and directly waved his hand to let the secret guard take people down to be tortured.

Fu Yin was originally a coward who bullied the weak and was afraid of the hard, and he hadn't been whipped a few times, so he couldn't bear it anymore, so he was dragged back by the secret guard.

"Say, I don't want to hear nonsense." The eldest prince said.

Fu Yin trembled and explained: "The matter of the water bandits, the matter of the water bandits was not done by me, yes, it was I who sent troops to encircle and suppress them after learning that there were water bandits, but they failed."

He really sent troops to encircle and suppress the bandits, but failed.

Those present were impatient to listen to this: "Explain what should be explained, don't talk this nonsense."

Fu Yin swallowed: "After that failure, the water bandits came to threaten me and blocked the waterway. The bandits said that if I didn't do what they wanted, they would keep blocking the waterways, and they would let the court know about the illegal things I was doing in secret......

In desperation, he had to agree to cooperate with the bandits. Since then, when necessary, he will lead troops to "encircle and suppress" the water bandits, and usually the water bandits will give him some of the money and beauties they have robbed.

Such days have been uneventful until they are discovered.

As for those girls, some of them were found or bought by him, and they were used to honor the peak, dot and dot, and some of them were sent to designated places, and there would be special people to receive them.

"Where is the designated place?" Tang Yingying asked.

Fu Yin: "Every time you designate a different place. It could be somewhere out of town, or it could be in a town, and someone would send a letter to inform them every time."

"I don't know who the messenger is, but I was introduced to me by my superiors. At that time, I went to the peak and said that this thing is good for me, if I don't do it, then I don't have to be the governor of the house."

Tang Yingying laughed angrily: "You guys are really colluding! You go on, say what you know, and the nonsense won't work."

Fu Yin told everything he knew, and most of the disappearances of the girls in the towns under his jurisdiction were taken captive by their people. These girls have two things in common, one is their low status, and the other is that they are good-looking.

Especially good-looking, the more good-looking girls are, the faster they will start.

But he really didn't know where these girls were sent or what they were used for.

Once, he also inquired, but was warned by the peak. After that, he didn't dare to inquire about it anymore.

After he finished explaining everything, Mo Chen ordered the secret guard to take him down and lock him up, waiting for the person who took over to deal with it.

"Look at this, I'm afraid it's been around for a long time." Tang Yingying said.

Mo Chen also looked at it this way: "Daughter-in-law, we don't need to worry about this matter, leave it to Your Majesty to worry about. Let's just do our thing."

Tang Yingying also knew that it was not so easy to investigate this matter, so she left this matter behind. Anyway, His Majesty is here, this matter

You will be able to find out.

A day later, the officials who came to take over arrived, and Tang Yingying and Mo Chen set off with a few children after handing over all the things and people.

When they started again, the children were very happy: "I can finally continue to play, I'm tired of staying in that place."

For children, it is fun to come out and play, no matter where they go.

A few children chattered, played a little game from time to time, or giggled and laughed, not to mention how happy.

On this day, Tang Yingying and his entourage did not catch up with the time to enter the town and settled on the side of the stream in the wilderness.

The secret guard was in charge of setting up a tent to make dinner, Tang Yingying and Mo Chen rested against the trunk of a tree, and several children were energetically playing in the water by the stream.

"There doesn't seem to be any fish in this creek, and I kind of want to eat fish."

"When we get to town tomorrow, you'll be able to eat fish, so bear with me now."

Tang Yingying smiled and said, "Tomorrow when we get to the town, let's eat a whole fish feast."

Some of the children were happy and some were unwilling.

"Whole Fish Feast...... Forget it, I'll have to have some other dishes, I can't stand to eat a whole fish feast."

"The whole fish feast is good. Different flavors of fish, think about it."

Tang Yingying was making a fuss with a few children, and when she was about to talk to Mo Chen, a secret guard fell in front of her.

"Princess, Princess." The secret guard handed a letter to Tang Yingying with both hands: "It was sent by His Majesty quickly."

Tang Yingying took the letter and read it with Mo Chen.

This letter is thick, except for the large nonsense that His Majesty has always cried that he is so miserable and tired without rest, the rest talks about the case of the disappearance of the girl and the water bandits.

After a strict investigation by the Criminal Department and two local officials, the whole matter was found out.

This matter was originally the personal preference of the Ministry of Rites, he preferred young beauties, and wanted a good reputation, so he raised a group of beautiful girls in private.

Some of these girls were abducted, some were given by others, and some of them were obtained by himself, but without exception, the status of these girls was very low.

This is also the reason why there has been no trouble for so long.
