"And the palace built for you is actually just a cover. Yang Kaiguang used the pretext of building the palace to levy taxes on the local people. The local squires are not bad, they have money, and they are even willing to The extra money is just to be able to show his face in front of the Prince's Palace in the future. The poor people are poor, they can't afford the money, so they can only work as coolies, helping to build the palace day and night, and they are exhausted. people."
…
Nie Changping said a lot about the county magistrate Yang in one breath.
Most of them were heard from the people, and a small part was overheard by the two guards who lurked in the county office last night.
After a long time, Luo Qinghan said in a deep voice: "Let's leave it alone for the time being with the magistrate Yang, I will take care of him when I look back, and find out the whereabouts of the missing children first."
Having said that, he turned to look at Xiao Xixi and asked, "Can you figure out where those children are?"
Xiao Xixi said, "I need their birthday characters."
Luo Qinghan asked Nie Changping to inquire about the birth dates of those children.
Nie Changping had already learned Xiao Xi's calculation skills yesterday, he didn't say much at this time, he took the task and left.
It was not until the afternoon that Nie Changping came back.
He put a piece of paper full of birthdays and names in front of Xiao Xixi.
"I can only inquire so much, and the parents of a few children have already fainted from crying, and they are still unconscious. Even if I want to ask, I can't ask anything."
Xiao Xixi said, "That's enough."
She glanced at the eight characters of the birthday, all of them were half-old children between the ages of eight and twelve, both men and women.
She closed her eyes and began to count silently in her heart.
Cold, hungry, panic, helpless…
Countless negative emotions rushed in, overwhelming Xiao Xixi's heart.
She raised her hand on the table, her face slightly pale.
Luo Qinghan was sitting beside her. Seeing her like this, he raised his hand and took her shoulders, letting her lean on him.
Seeing this, Nie Changping couldn't help smacking his tongue, the prince really loves this little eunuch!
Xiao Xixi leaned on the crown prince, and it took a while to recover from those negative emotions, she said softly: "Those children are locked in a very dark place, there are no windows, the surroundings are very cold, that place is located in the southeast Bearing, three miles away from us."
Luo Qinghan looked at Nie Changping.
The latter said immediately: "I'll go check it now."
Nie Changping hurried away with the guards.
Luo Qinghan went through what Xiao Xixi just said in his mind, and when he looked down at her again, he saw that she had fallen asleep leaning on him.
Her face was still a little pale, but her brows and eyes were stretched out, and she seemed to be sleeping soundly.
this moment.
As if the hustle and bustle of the world was gone.
His heart was very peaceful.
dong dong.
The door was knocked.
Xiao Nan's voice came in through the door.
"Master."
Luo Qinghan: "Come in."
Xiao Nan and Xing'er walked in one after the other.
Myolie stopped crying, but her eyes were still red.
She wanted to speak, but when she saw Xiao Xixi fell asleep, she suddenly did not dare to speak, for fear of disturbing the other person's sleep.
Luo Qinghan said lightly: "You can say what you want, she won't wake up."
Xing'er opened her mouth cautiously, her voice hoarse.
"I have buried my grandfather. From now on, I will be your slave. I will do whatever you ask me to do."
