The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 371 The Missing Child

Ruyi Princess Mansion.

After Princess Chaifeng and Zhao Yuanzuo left, Princess Ruyi pulled Liu Wei into the pavilion.

There were some delicacies on the table in the pavilion, Princess Ruyi took one and put it in Liu Wei's mouth, and asked with a smile, "Then Yuan Zuo asked you what poem?"

Liu Wei smiled slightly: "It's just a very common poem, if the princess wants to hear it, I'll make a few for you."

Princess Ruyi hit Liu Wei. She knew that as long as there were only the two of them, Liu Wei would write some unsavory erotic poems, which would make people's ears blush and their hearts beat sometimes, so she didn't care. Would you like to listen to Liu Wei's poems?

After the two had played around with this question for a while, Princess Ruyi asked, "What do you think of this kid Yuan Zuo? I think he seems quite mature."

Liu Wei nodded: "Yes, at such a young age, you already have a lot of demeanor. If you cultivate it, you might become a rare person."

Princess Ruyi nodded and smiled, then Zhao Yuanzuo is from their Zhao family, and it would be a good thing for the Zhao family to have one more useful person.

As soon as Princess Ruyi smiled and nodded, Liu Wei suddenly hugged her and said with a smile: "My lord, we have been married for many years, do you think we should work harder, maybe our son is better than that Zhao Yuanzuo?" Be smart."

Hearing Liu Wei's words, Princess Ruyi's cheeks turned red immediately, but she didn't object. They have been married for a few years, and she really wants to have a child with Liu Wei, but for some reason, they have been married for so many years However, her stomach has not responded, which makes her somewhat anxious.

The two rubbed against each other, and soon fell in love.

The army of the Northern Expedition set off for a few days, and the capital was very quiet all the time. Because Zhao Dezhao, the King of Wu, had already made arrangements in the army, he only wanted to make mistakes in the capital this time, so he had no other new ideas to announce in the court other than being diligent. .

But at this time, Kaifeng Mansion received a case.

The four-year-old son of a member of the ancient family in the east of the city disappeared.

This kind of missing persons case is not a small case, and Su Tongkan is in charge of Kaifeng Mansion at this time, so he immediately asked Shen Tan to lead someone to investigate the situation.

The Gu family can be regarded as the home of Zhongming Dingshi in the capital, and the family business is very large. Shen Tan went to do some research and found out that the son of the Gu family member is called Gu Baobao. As a result, the servant lost his young master without paying attention.

There was nothing suspicious about the case, and all that was needed was to cast a net at once to find someone.

After Detective Shen reported these to Su Giankan, Su Giankan posted the portraits of Gu Baobao everywhere and offered rewards. Those who can provide clues will be rewarded with a reward, and those who can find the missing person will be rewarded with a reward.

Of course, all the money was spent by ancient officials.

But after the portrait was posted, there were no clues for three days. Gu Yuanwai and his wife went to the Kaifeng government office to cry all day long, and Su couldn't do anything else.

Su also saw that there was a city mansion, and his intelligence was also profound, but he really didn't know what to do about things like finding someone.

What else could he do besides keep sending people?
But at this time, someone came to report to the police again, saying that their child also disappeared suddenly. Although it was because of the carelessness of the servants in the mansion or the child's family, their child disappeared.

For several days in a row, eight cases of missing children occurred in the capital.

Under the emperor's feet, there was such a thing, so this matter quickly caused a sensation in the entire capital, and for a while, people with children were even more in danger.

Su Tongjian suddenly realized that the matter was very serious. In the first case, he could still say that it was a child who was playing and lost suddenly, but now that there are so many cases of missing children, it is not just a simple child who is playing. The ones who accept it.

It can only be said that there is an organization in the capital, and this organization is trafficking people.

In this era, there are special places for human trafficking, but those who are sold are servant girls and the like. These people have already sold themselves to their masters, and the masters have the right to sell them as goods.

But these children are not. They are tricked and sold for money.

Of course, it's also possible that it's not human trafficking, they just want to get those children away and do something else.

There are a lot of people who come to the government office to make trouble every day, Su Tongkan feels deeply disturbed, and at this time, Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wu who is the supervisor of the state, even issued a strict order to the Kaifeng government office, that if the case cannot be solved within five days, all people in the Kaifeng government office will be punished.

King Wu Zhao Dezhao's actions seemed to be for those abducted children, but anyone among them could see that he had selfish intentions. Kaifeng Mansion has always been King Jin's territory. It made King Jin bad.

For a long time, the Kaifeng Mansion has done a lot for the people of the capital, especially the three Qingtian guillotines, which are highly respected by the people all over the world, and this has also given King Jin a lot of prestige among the people.

But if Kaifeng Mansion cannot solve the case, then the prestige of Kaifeng Mansion will be drowned by the spittle of the people in an instant.

It is very difficult to establish a good reputation, but it only takes a moment to destroy a good reputation.

For the sake of Kaifeng Mansion's reputation, and for the reputation of King Jin, this case must be solved regardless of Su's opinion.

Therefore, he raised the reward amount to ten thousand strings.

Ten thousand guan is a lot of money. For many people, they have never seen so much money in their entire life. Now the court has paid such a high price in order to find those children, and all the people are boiling for a while. up.

In the past, they were only worried about their children being kidnapped, but now, under the temptation of money, they spontaneously searched for clues about those children. gold hunter.

These bounty hunters are for the bounties posted by the court. Most of them are skilled and well-connected. Sometimes they find people who are more effective than the court.

There was a frenzy of searching for the missing children in the entire capital, but this was not Su Tongkan's real purpose.

Perhaps, after raising the reward amount to a high level, many people will take risks to find those missing children for this reward amount, but the chance of success in this case is very low. Su also sees that the real purpose is to let those kidnapped children Some people brought their children out because they were greedy for the [-] guan reward amount.

The temptation of money is great. Those people kidnapped children only for money. Now that there is such a good opportunity, will they let it go?

He probably wouldn't let go of this great opportunity.

Ruyi Princess Mansion.

Since the Northern Expedition, Liu Wei has had a rare few days of easy life. Every day, he is not reading a book, or discussing the plan of making a man with Princess Ruyi. When the news of a missing child in the capital came, both of them were shocked. Then came the rage.

Princess Ruyi was very angry. She didn't expect that there would be people who would dare to abduct children under the emperor's feet. What are the intentions of those people?

"Damn, it's really hateful, those people are so cruel." Although Princess Ruyi has not yet given birth to a child, due to the natural motherhood of a woman, she can still deeply understand the pain of those parents who lost their children.

But when Princess Ruyi reprimanded those who took away the children, Liu Wei was very calm, but occasionally frowned slightly. Seeing this situation, Princess Ruyi said: "Why are you in a daze? Now there is such a thing in the capital. How can you stand by and watch such a thing?"

Liu Wei smiled slightly. Princess Ruyi wanted to talk about a peaceful life before, but now something happened suddenly in the capital, and she yelled to go out on her own. How do you live this peaceful life?
Liu Wei suddenly remembered a sentence, people can't help themselves in the Jianghu, but once Liu Wei stepped into the court, once he made a start for the people of the world, it would be very difficult for him to give up.

In life, there will be many things waiting for you to do.

Liu Wei shrugged and said: "It is necessary to go out, but now is not the time, don't worry."

"Can you not be in a hurry, what if something happens to those children?"

Liu Wei thought for a while, then smiled and said, "If those people were just trying to kill the children, our people would have found the bodies long ago, but if they haven't found them now, it means those children are still very safe."

Princess Ruyi has always trusted Liu Wei, but when she saw Liu Wei not in a hurry, she was very angry: "There is still a way to do things in Kaifeng Mansion, look at Su, after increasing the reward amount , The whole people are looking for those missing children, I can't guess that those children will be found in a few days, and maybe those robbers will pretend to be the ones who found the children to collect the reward money because of the money."

Princess Ruyi said, and gave Liu Wei a blank look, as if she was very disgusted with Liu Wei's inaction, but Liu Wei didn't care, and secretly said: "This group of robbers is not simple, they kidnap children It's not for money, so in Su's view, increasing the reward like this can be said to be of little use."

Princess Ruyi was a little disbelieving, and said, "How do you know that those people kidnapped children not for money?"

"My lord, do you think that seven or eight days have passed since the first child was kidnapped? During these seven or eight days, have those families who lost their children received blackmail letters? Have they been asked to use money to redeem people?" ?”

Princess Ruyi is also a smart person. After hearing Liu Wei's words, she suddenly realized something. In comparison, it is safest for the robbers to ask for ransom directly from the family who lost the child, but they didn't ask for it. What does this mean? That means they're not here for the money at all.

And according to what they know, the missing children are of different ages and family backgrounds. In this way, it is more certain that they did not do these things for money. If it was for money, they only need to kidnap someone Children from rich families will do.
