In a short period of time, there were more than ten cases of missing children near the capital, and all of them were boys?

And if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes today, Yu Wenlan wouldn't even know it.

Therefore, after listening to the guard's report, he immediately summoned the officials from Jingzhao Mansion, Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to enter the palace, and went to Qianming Palace himself.

And Yan Shu hurriedly inquired with the system—

[You said that Chai Weizhong, Minister of the Ministry of War, has something to do with this matter? Could it be that he captured all these children? What is this scumbag going to do? 】

The system, [It wasn't him who caught it, it was his latest friend named Hu Yichun. 】

Hu Yichun?

Yan Shu frowned, 【What does this person do? Also an official? 】

System, [There are many stories about this person. Hu Yichun was born as an actor and was once the male favorite of Yu Wenhu, king of Shu. 】

Hearing this, Yan Shu couldn't help but widen her eyes, 【Shu King Yu Wenhu is the cousin of the emperor's third uncle's family, he is also a broken sleeve? ? ? 】

System, 【To be precise, he is a man and woman. 】

Yanshu, […]

Sure enough, the royal family has been so wonderful since ancient times...

Is this really enough to eat enough, and men and women can eat it all.

But then, she wondered again, 【But didn't Yu Wenhu die because of treason three years ago? 】

System, [That's right, when Yu Wenhu died, everyone in the palace also paid for the funeral, but this Hu Yichun escaped by luck. He knows that many high-ranking officials and nobles have this habit. In order to make a living, they return to their old jobs, hang out in the broken sleeves of various places, and cling to the powerful. After collecting some money, he wandered all the way to the capital again. Then he aimed at Chai Weizhong. 】

Yan Shu tsk tsk, [The aim is really accurate, the broken sleeve in this capital is also Chai Weizhong's biggest official. 】

System, [Isn't that? Since he was looking for it, he must be looking for someone with real power and a certain position in the officialdom. 】

Yan Shu thought of another thing, 【Wait, isn't Chai Weizhong accepted? This Hu Yichun had served the king of Shu, so he must have accepted it, right? How could they get together? 】

The system, [Do you think Hu Yichun messed around for true love? He is for power and money, what is the plan to change people at any time? Chai Weizhong is also old anyway, only this person can control him to death. 】

Yan Shu, [...this is really inspiring. But since Chai Weizhong is rich and powerful, why does he catch children? 】

System, [Sister, you are still too naive, Hu Yichun was the male favorite of the King of Shu after all, can he be satisfied with a servant of the Ministry of War? He just used Chai Weizhong's power to do more business in the capital. 】

Business?

Yan Shu thought for a while, then suddenly froze, 【...Could it be that he wants to turn the abducted children into child prostitutes and sell them to perverts? 】

System, [Not bad. That's what he wants to do. First find good-looking boys in the capital and nearby places, or kidnap or rob them to train them as child prostitutes, and then sell them to rich perverts everywhere for fun and profit. 】

Hearing this, Yan Shu almost cursed out loud, 【This dead scum is perverted! ! It's a thing of the eighteenth floor of hell! ! 】

However, after scolding, she still had doubts.

[But why did he abduct the child from the capital? You must know that the capital is under the foot of the emperor, and the law and order is much better than other places. He is easily arrested? 】

System, [Because this person specially set up a training place in the capital, and stole the child to directly adjust it, which is safer than transporting it from other places. Furthermore, in their pervert circle, the price of child prostitution sold from the capital is higher than that from other places. 】

Yan Shu was still puzzled, 【Why is the price higher? 】

System, [Because many people like the Beijing accent. This person has traveled all over the world and knows too much. 】

...and a Beijing accent? ? ?

Yan Shu cursed the perverted scum again.

It is not an exaggeration for every pervert in this circle to be dragged out by a thousand knives!

After scolding, she asked again, 【But before Chai Weizhong also raised a child prostitute, and he bought them all. Can this person just buy them? Why did he steal them? Aren't you afraid of getting caught? 】

The system, [He still has to pay attention to the cost in doing business, how can it be a bargain if he buys it? What's more, he has Chai Weizhong to protect him anyway, so he is quite bold. 】

Yan Shu gritted her teeth and said, 【Chai Weizhong, a scumbag who cheated on marriage! 】

——When she wrote the storybook, she originally wanted to expose this person. However, in today's society, it is not illegal to break a sleeve, and even raising a child is acquiesced. It is almost impossible to touch him with the storybook alone, so she shelved it down.

But I didn't expect this scum to help the perverted concubine do such a disgusting thing!

Hey, it's really good, good, good, good, good! !

However, after she got angry, her heart tightened again, and she said, 【Those children lost before were all stolen by this Hu Yichun, right? 】

System, [Yes. Since the emperor came to the throne, the law and order in the capital has improved a lot, and it is easy to see no traffickers. Of course, this person did it. 】

Yan Shu's heart tightened. Doesn't this mean that those children are about to face a tragic fate? !

No, she has to tell the emperor quickly and tell him to arrest him!

Thinking of this, she immediately left Ganlu Hall and headed straight for Qianming Palace.

~~

Yan Shu ran so fast that Liandong didn't catch up with her, but when she came all the way to Qianming Palace, she met Yu Wenlan coming out, followed by several officials from Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment.

"His Majesty…"

She couldn't care about anything else for a while, and hurriedly called out out of breath.

Seeing her like this, Yu Wenlan thought something happened to her, so she walked over and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

The officials behind him also looked around curiously.

Yan Shu calmed down, thought about her words again, and said, "The concubine is concerned about the lost children. I don't know what's going on? Do the adults have any countermeasures?"

Yu Wenlan said, "I have asked them to go to the three places to investigate together. According to the statement from Jingzhao Mansion, it should be the same group of people who did it."

Hearing this, the Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion hurriedly said, "Since the group of people are heading towards the south of the city tonight, it is expected that their lair should be in the south of the city. I will send the servants to the south of the city to investigate."

Yan Shu nodded, and said, "Your Excellency's words are reasonable, but I think that since this group of people has already done more than a dozen cases, they must be very cunning. After today's miss, they may be vigilant and move places."

He also said anxiously in his heart, 【That Hu Yichun has firewood to be his loyal eyeliner. Seeing that the emperor called these ministers urgently, he realized that something was wrong, and he has already moved to Lihua Lane to the east! 】

Yu Wenlan listened to it in his heart and couldn't help but pause.

Chai Weizhong is the eyeliner?

Is this matter related to Chai Weizhong?

It seemed that she knew about this and was in a hurry to remind him.

He then said, "What Concubine Yi said is polite, then expand the scope of the search and search the residential areas in the east of the city, remember not to startle the enemy, let alone leak any information to the outside world, anyone who disobeys the order will be executed."

When several people heard this, they immediately bowed their heads in response, all of them were extremely solemn.

I also heard the king add, "Finding the missing children is the key now, and we must ensure the safety of the children."

Several people hurriedly responded, and seeing that the king had no more orders, they hurried out of the palace to do things.

After returning to Ganlu Palace, Yu Wenlan asked Yanshu again, "Your analysis just now makes sense. Apart from that, what else did you find suspicious?"

—He knew that she had powerful abilities, so he wanted to find out more useful information at this time, so as to find those missing children as soon as possible and catch the culprit.

Of course, as usual, she might write a message to hint at him, but tonight was short of time, and it was too late to write a message.

This is really a tacit understanding, and Yan Shu is also thinking about how to tell him about it.

When writing the storybook, firstly, it was too late, and secondly, the case had just happened at this time, and she wrote it when they were struggling to investigate, and the emperor did not doubt that she was a ghost.

So, she could only try to guide him.

So he said, "The concubine is still thinking, usually the abductees are local ruffians, who have no legitimate livelihood, steal other people's children and sell them to make a living, and they must be sneaky. But tonight there are three people, and a carriage , and they still robbed them in broad daylight, which shows that they are not ordinary human traffickers. Maybe...they didn't intend to sell the stolen children for money."

Yu Wenlan had already thought of this point.

"That's right. Those who rob children like this are obviously not like ordinary human traffickers. I'm afraid there are some forces behind them."

He also thought to himself, just now she mentioned Chai Weizhong, maybe it was Chai Weizhong who did it.

At this moment, she heard her yelling in her heart, 【What a perverted Hu Yichun! When I catch you, it's hard to dispel the hatred in people's hearts if you don't cut them apart! ! And that deadwood is loyal, and it's just that he perverted and cheated on the marriage. As an official of the imperial court, he is actually protected by a scumbag who kills children! ! In the future, I will definitely add a few more words to your notebook, and I will ruin your reputation, cut you into pieces, and be cast aside by the world! ! 】

Now, Yu Wenlan finally heard clearly.

She said that Chai Weizhong was the umbrella...

That's what it means to be the force behind the culprit.

That name before Chai Weizhong...

Hu Yichun? I'm afraid it's the culprit.

However, she called Chai Weizhong's "concubine".

Of course he already knew that Chai Weizhong was a Duanxiu. From this point of view, this person surnamed Hu was also a man.

He asked Jin Yiwei to investigate later.

At this moment, I heard her say again, "Your Majesty, still remember the storybook written by the concubine? There was a scumbag who lied to a woman to marry him and serve his parents while he clearly liked men?"

Yu Wenlan nodded, "I remember."

Yan Shu continued, "The concubine used to read in the scriptures that some rich people lived too extravagantly and lustfully, so they developed a lot of strange hobbies. Playing with women is not enough, and they also raise some good-looking men to be shameless." What's more, they will take some children who haven't grown up as their..."

At this point, she pretended to be frightened and said, "Your Majesty, is it because of this kind of thing that those people robbed the little boy tonight?"

After finishing speaking, he said anxiously in his heart, 【Do you understand, they rob little boys to make them prostitutes and sell them! Be sure to catch them! ! 】

Of course Yu Wenlan understood.

Indeed, the purpose of these people to **** young boys is already obvious.

Plus it has something to do with Chai Weizhong...

He immediately said, "I'm going to ask someone to investigate such places in Beijing."

Yan Shu nodded hurriedly, "Your Majesty is wise! The concubines think the same way, and they must hurry up. If they get wind of it, it will be bad if they run away."

Yu Wenlan hummed, then got up and went to call someone outside the door.

But at this time, she sighed in her heart again, 【That's all I can do. If I talk too much, I'm afraid he will doubt me. I hope they can find the Yingbin Pavilion in Jinshui Lane. 】

Yu Wenlan raised an eyebrow.

— Jinshui Lane, Yingbin Pavilion, and the one named Hu Yichun.

He remembered it all.

~~

Yanshu's painstaking reminder was not in vain, the government searched the city all night, and the next morning, good news came.

Seven children were found in a mansion on Lihua Lane in the east of the city, all of whom had been lost before.

In addition, the officers and soldiers also captured two men who were guarding the children.

But after being tortured and interrogated, the two only confessed that they wanted to sell the children to homes in other places that wanted boys, and they did not admit anything related to child molestation.

On the surface, it seems that this is just a child abduction case...

In the court hall in the early morning, after listening to the reports from the Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple, the king asked, "What characteristics do these lost children have in common?"

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment replied, "Your Majesty, except that these children are all boys, their facial features are relatively regular, and they are all between four and five years old."

But the king said again, "If it was just abduction, how did they find children of the same age with good facial features?"

After the words fell, everyone began to think in their hearts.

Hanlin scholar Zou Mozhong said, "Your Majesty's words are very true. I believe that these people are most likely planning illegal activities."

— Tsk, there are a lot of shocking things these days. Didn't the former concubine Zhao Chengwen buy a house in the south of the Yangtze River to buy and sell women?

He said, "In the past, there were many people who kidnapped girls and sold them to Fireworks and Willow Lane. Since these boys are of the same age and have good looks... it is very likely that they are going to be sold to some dirty people."

As soon as these words came out, everyone thought carefully and panicked, and they all echoed——

"What Master Zou said is absolutely true!"

"If they really entered here, wouldn't there be a few unrecovered children who will fall into the tiger's mouth? Please order the search to continue!"

"If this is the case, it is really creepy, and please order a strict investigation from your majesty!"

"Please His Majesty order a strict investigation!"

In the excitement of the crowd, the king nodded and said, "Since ancient times, there have been many people who have been addicted to Longyang. If they don't harm the sky, it's fine. But if they hurt innocent people and commit unforgivable crimes, I will definitely punish them severely. This matter is handled by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion will continue to investigate, and will trace all missing children cases in recent years, not limited to men and women, if any place is found, anyone is suspected of buying and selling people, and strict investigation will not be neglected."

When the voice fell, everyone responded in unison, calling His Majesty Shengming directly.

Yu Wenlan saw that Chai Weizhong was among the crowd, and he also had a face of righteousness.

He listened attentively, but saw the other party thinking, 【Recently, I really want to stop, tell Chunlang not to come out. 】

~~

After the court meeting was over, Yu Wenlan went out to the government hall, but Jin Yiwei came to return.

"Your Majesty, when I went to Jinshui Lane, there was indeed an inn called Yingbin Pavilion, but the building was vacant, and the missing child and the man named Hu Yichun were not found. However, I found that Chai Weizhong often went in and out recently. A martial arts gym on Mashi Street."

"Martial arts?"

Yu Wenlan frowned.

Jin Yiwei should say, "The owner of this martial arts gym is Hu Yichun."

Yu Wenlan immediately asked, "What about others?"

Jin Yiwei said, "Since last night, this person has suddenly disappeared, and he said that he went back to his hometown to visit relatives."

This is of course an excuse.

Since last night, in order to track down the traffickers, all entrances and exits of the capital have been under martial law, this person must still be in the city.

Yu Wenlan said, "Continue to track down Hu Yichun, and then arrange people to check this martial arts hall and that Yingbin Pavilion, and see who usually patronizes."

After finishing speaking, he added, "Continue to monitor the Chai Mansion."

Jin Yiwei should be.

~~

At this time, in Ganlu Hall, Yan Shu also heard the news that Hu Yichun had escaped.

What the hell, this pervert is really good!

No matter how much she reminded the emperor, even if she pointed out the direction to the emperor, this scumbag would run away as soon as he saw the movement, which shows how many caves he had found in the capital before!

Not to mention Chai Weizhong who tipped off the news.

This person has also been an official in the court for many years, and he has eyeliners everywhere.

The opponent is in the dark and the government is in the open, how can they be their opponents!

At this moment, the system snorted, 【After all, this person has been in so many places. When the Shu Palace was destroyed, he could still escape. How could he be easily caught. 】

Yan Shu patted the table, 【No matter how smart you are, you must bring this rope to justice, otherwise I won't even have the appetite to eat! 】

The system, [Oh? Who just ate a cage of crab roe wrapped in a beef patty and a bowl of wonton for breakfast? 】

Yan Shu, […This is the state where I have no appetite, if I can add a basket of steamed stuffed buns, two side dishes and a bowl of porridge. 】

...but that's beside the point.

The point is, she has to catch this perverted scum! !

After all, there are still several children who have not been found! !

How could she watch so many cute little lives fall into the hands of perverts! !

Don't say it, after roaring so angrily for a while, she suddenly came up with an idea...

~~

In the evening, when Yu Wenlan stepped into the Ganlu Palace, she saw Yan Shu approaching her with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, is it okay if you don't have dinner in the palace today? You said that day that you would take your concubines to eat outside the palace, but you haven't eaten yet." Here we go."

Yu Wenlan felt strange, why would she still want to go out for snacks at such a time?

Unexpectedly, after that, she heard her anxiously saying, 【Quickly agree! I want to take you to catch that perverted Hu Yichun! I know where he is, if I don't catch him, I'm afraid I will run out of the city! ! 】

Yu Wenlan couldn't help raising her eyebrows secretly, she actually wanted to take him to arrest someone?

But if you think about it, at this time, maybe only her supernatural ability can find the place where the person is, let alone startle the snake.

So he nodded and tried to say, "That's fine, where do you want to go? Is it Tianjing Lane?"

But she shook her head and said, "No, I heard today that there is a delicious restaurant called Jifulou on Shuanggui Street in the north of the city. The Huaiyang cuisine in it is pretty good. I want to try it. Can?"

North of the city, Shuanggui Street?

It seems that Hu Yichun is there?

Yu Wenlan nodded and said, "Well, then let's go, while it's still early."

As he spoke, he smiled again, "I will try it with you."

It's hard for her to be so enthusiastic in her small body, since he can catch the villain, it doesn't matter if he goes there himself.

Seeing her happy face, she did not forget to remind him, "However, my concubine is afraid of encountering some villain who will steal children again. Your Majesty, please bring a few more people."

Yu Wenlan smiled, "Okay, then bring a few more."

Only then did Yan Shu feel relieved, and hurriedly changed into casual clothes with him, and went to Shuanggui Street in the north of the city.

~~

When the lights first came on, the two finally arrived at the Jifu Building.

Yu Wenlan got out of the carriage and looked around calmly.

Along the way, he knew that this place was a bit remote, and this Jifulou looked like an ordinary restaurant.

But it was time for dinner, so there were not too many diners.

He thought to himself, could it be that Hu Yichun is also eating here?

Seeing that Yan Shu was wearing a curtain, she naturally led him in, asked the store owner for a private room on the second floor, sat down and began to order food.

"I want some of your most famous dishes here, eel paste in oil, stewed lion's head, boiled dried shredded fish, and a squirrel mandarin fish."

The shop waiter should go out later, she smiled at him again, "These are the most famous dishes of Huaiyang cuisine, husband, you can try it and see if it is better here or at home."

Yu Wenlan snorted.

But she thought in her heart, she didn't mean to arrest people, why was she not in a hurry?

But he couldn't take it lightly, so he signaled the hidden guard to ambush in the restaurant first.

Soon, the ordered dishes were delivered one by one.

Seeing that the appearance was good, Yan Shu's eyes lit up, and she tasted it immediately.

——She knows that pervert is here today, but the dishes here are indeed famous.

Ahem, people must be caught, but food must also be eaten.

Well, I have to say, this dish is really good.

The lion's head is as big as a fist, and it tastes fat but not greasy, soft and delicious;

The oily eel paste was still sizzling when it was served on the table, and it tasted oily but not greasy, delicious;

The squirrel mandarin fish is sweet and sour and crispy, and the boiled dried shredded fish is also soft, glutinous and delicious.

Of course, while eating, she did not forget to listen to the system's news.

And when the four dishes were about to be finished, the system suddenly dinged, [Hu Yichun has entered the door. 】

Yan Shu immediately put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth, and said to Yu Wenlan, "Husband, let's go."

Yu Wenlan was taken aback, "Have you eaten yet?"

Yan Shu nodded, but said in her heart, 【The **** is here, hurry up and arrest him! 】

But at this moment, a hidden guard also entered the room and reported to him in a low voice, "Master, we have arrived."

Yu Wenlan nodded and said, "Okay."

Get up and walk out with her.

After leaving the door of the private room, you need to go downstairs to the door of the store.

Just as the two of them were stepping down the wooden stairs, a man was coming towards him.

Yan Shu glanced through the curtain, but saw that the other party was wearing a bamboo blue satin robe, with a normal figure, and at first glance, he looked pretty good.

But after taking a second look, I felt a greasy and wretched feeling rushing towards my face.

At the same time, the system dinged, 【This is that Hu Yichun. 】

Yan Shu, 【It really looks like a pervert! 】

The sound came to Yu Wenlan's ears at the same time.

The store is not big, and the stairs are narrow. At this moment, he was passing this person.

He frowned, and was about to ask someone to do it.

But seeing the other party turned his head and called out, "Your Excellency..."

A meal for several people.

Yu Wenlan also looked back at him, but didn't make a sound.

But the man laughed and said, "I don't know if I've seen Your Excellency somewhere before, and I feel so familiar?"

Yu Wenlan raised an eyebrow secretly.

But the other party thought, 【This person has such a good temperament, could he be a high-ranking official in the court? Or a family member? 】

[I don't know if you like male sex? Is there a chance to seduce, seduce...]

Yu Wenlan, "???"

And Yan Shu who was beside her also heard the system saying, 【Pay attention, this person wants to seduce the emperor. 】

Yan Shu, [? ? ? Why does this pervert still want to seduce the innocent little emperor? 】

Damn, I can't beat him to death today! !

So she said first, "You must have misunderstood the person, my husband doesn't know you."

Immediately afterwards, without waiting for the other party to speak, he suddenly covered his nose and said, "Oh, why is it so smelly all of a sudden?"

Smelly?

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

Including the perverted Hu Yichun in front of him.

Yan Shu said to him again with a look of disgust, "Didn't this guest officer just come out of the latrine? Why is he full of stench?"

As soon as these words came out, the other party immediately narrowed his eyes and said, "Madam was joking, I just came in from the street."

After finishing speaking, he hummed in his heart again, 【How dare this dead woman say that about me? Bai blind such a good-looking man! 】

Yu Wenlan, "???"

And the system immediately transmitted it to Yan Shu, 【He scolded you. 】

Yan Shu laughed in her heart, but suddenly said in surprise on her face, "Oh, where is my purse?"

System, [Good idea! Hu Yichun recently brought a royal blue brocade purse with twenty taels of silver in it. 】

Yan Shu immediately pointed at the other party and said, "Could it be that you stole my purse!"

Hu Yichun was taken aback, "What? How could I steal from you..."

Before he finished speaking, Yan Shu said again, "It was still on me when I was in the room just now, and after walking a few steps, it disappeared after rubbing shoulders with you. You must have stolen it!!"

After finishing speaking, I couldn't say anything, and immediately looked at Yu Wenlan and said, "Husband, quickly ask someone to search him, and see if there is any royal blue brocade money bag of my concubine, with twenty taels of silver in it!"

"what?"

Hu Yichun was stunned when he heard this.

This is not his purse...

But how did this woman know...

However, before he could react, Yu Wenlan had already winked to the side.

In an instant, several strong men rushed out from all sides and pushed him against the wall.

Yan Shu said, "Search for him!"

The guards should be, and immediately found a royal blue brocade money bag with twenty taels of silver in it.

Yan Shu immediately said, "Okay, stealing silver taels in broad daylight! Husband, this person must be a habitual offender, and I have to report to the government to investigate. What else did he steal?"

Yu Wenlan, "..."

It was so effortless.
