"Xiao Ning, look at this." Han Yunshen handed a piece of paper in front of her.
Su Yining was fiddling with the roasted sweet potatoes on the stove, having just returned from the disaster area to warm up.
"These are the birth dates?" She looked back carefully and found that these birth dates were almost the same. Boys were born in the yang year, yang day, yang month, and yang hour, while girls were born in the yin year, yin month, yin day.
Her face became solemn. It was definitely not a good thing to have such a situation in ancient times. It was either used for sacrifice or there was a cult or something like that.
Han Yun thought deeply for a moment: "I think these children were specially selected, but I haven't figured out what they are used for."
"Then who would know such a child's horoscope, and the missing children are all nearby children, why not investigate from this direction, the nearby Wen Po must know these best, and the village chief's family." Su Yining felt that from these
It’s easiest for people to get started.
"Okay, I'll let someone do it!" As soon as he thought that he and Su Yining had the same idea, a feeling of sympathies would arise, as if their hearts were getting closer.
…
It was a very cold night on the 15th, and a group of them squatted outside a farmhouse. This child was the only pure Yang child nearby. If what happened before was not a coincidence, then this child would not be missed.
"What did the people at the Ministry of Justice say?" Su Yining asked in a low voice.
Han Yunshen looked at his sweetheart who was close at hand. Even on a cold winter night, his heart felt warm: "That old guy Feng Yuan pushed her away and said it was a matter in my jurisdiction that he didn't care about."
"Does the Emperor not care if he says so?" Seeing his hesitation in speaking, my heart twitched. Could it be that the Emperor doesn't even distinguish between the important and the important?
He took a breath of white air and said with unclear eyes: "The Emperor felt the same way, and even said that they were just a few children. Maybe they were sold by their own parents, and they were just stolen because they were afraid that the villagers would gossip behind their backs."
'That's too much!' She said nothing more and secretly complained: It seems that the Feng family still has a short memory. I would be really sorry for this person if I didn't take a roll.
"Your Majesty, someone is coming!"
Under the background of the moonlight, a sneaky figure appeared on the snow. The figure's whole body was shrouded in black. Little did he know that such an outfit would make him a living target in the snow.
He made a gesture, and the secret guards who were about to rush out stopped. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the man in black climbed directly in through the outer wall, and ran out not long after carrying something on his back.
"Come on!" In an instant, the secret guard pounced on the man like a hungry tiger. His movements were as fast as lightning, and he pushed the man to the ground without any sound. Unexpectedly, the bag behind the man in black also fell down.
"Bang, gulu gulu"
Take a closer look and see that there is no child here, but a bag of potatoes.
Several people secretly muttered: "We have been fooled!"
"Tell me, who asked you to come!" Su Yining grabbed the man in black by the collar and pulled off her hood. Why should she be so tightly covered when stealing food?
The man in black looked sad and apologized again and again: "Sir, I just stole a bag of potatoes, so you can't be so serious. I can't open the pot at home. If you don't steal it, I will starve to death."
No matter how much they asked, the man insisted that he was a potato thief, and for a while they fell into a dead end.
Unexpectedly, the child was still lost. On the afternoon of the second day after they returned, the person who stole the child was so elusive that it was impossible to detect him.
"Bang!" "I'm so angry!" Su Yining slapped the table several times angrily, causing the porcelain on the table to crackle.
I wiped my face in frustration, these people are too arrogant.
She leaned back on the chair and thought quietly, who leaked the news?
"Did anyone come here yesterday?" She called the secret guards and Yueying in and asked about yesterday's events. Their actions were not actually very secretive. After all, the matter of losing the child had been widely known to the common people.
We are like frightened birds, and the children are all our favorites.
Leng Wu stepped forward and saluted: "Princess, someone over there came yesterday. It's Su Zhenguo's concubine, calligraphy and painting. She doesn't know what she wants from you. It seems that she is in a hurry because she went back when you were not around."
"Is she the only one who has been here? Is there anyone else?"
The secret guards looked at each other and shook their heads. No one was there?
"Go and call that concubine." Han Yun knew this concubine well. She also had a daughter raised in Xiao Ning's village. Her sudden appearance might have some unexpected clues.
It didn't take long for the calligraphy and painting to arrive. His soft and beautiful face was haggard and his pupils were a little sluggish. It looked like he hadn't rested for a long time.
"Xiao Ning, it's not safe here. Please take your sister and leave." That's what she said when she walked in. Today's life is even harder than when Yan was here.
"What's going on? Don't be impatient and speak slowly." Su Yining poured her a cup of hot tea and put it in her hands, helped her sit down, and patted her back gently.
"Su Zhenguo is crazy. He and Su Bangyan are both crazy!" She was very emotionally unstable. She sniffed and grabbed her sleeves hard: "He is crazy. Believe me, he is really crazy!"
Tears kept falling incessantly.
"For the sake of me sending you a message, can you take Ye Ming and the others with you? Don't worry, they are very well-behaved. You don't have to be so nice to them. I beg you.
Please."
She knelt down and kept kowtowing to Su Yining. The child touched her fragile nerves and didn't pay attention to what others were saying.
"Crack!"
Su Yining raised his hand and slapped her head, and she stopped crying this time. She sighed: "Are you calm now? How can I save you if you don't say anything?"
Shuhua swallowed more and said: "Su Zhenguo is really crazy. Some time ago, he got some magic elixir from nowhere. After taking it, he started to behave abnormally. Yesterday, he gave Shuyan's child... and lost it.
He fell to death."
Her whole body was trembling, and there was a surge of hatred in her eyes. If she hadn't tried her best to stop her child, she wouldn't have been able to escape the clutches of the devil.
Miraculous elixir? What is this?
"Xiao Ning, please help me because I have never bullied you. Please help my children. It doesn't matter if I die, but they are still young. Yesterday, I heard Su Zhenguo say that he wanted to have a caesarean section to remove the child.
!”
There is also a pregnant concubine in the house now. He took her in last year. She became pregnant less than two months after entering the house. Calculating the time, she is only seven or eight months old now.
The two looked at each other and suddenly understood what the other meant. Su Yining almost emptied the Su Mansion before leaving, so where did they get the money to squander it now?
The money came from unknown sources, and there was also a strange elixir. As soon as I heard the name, I knew it was not a good thing. They had to perform a cesarean section to retrieve the child... Han Yunshen asked hurriedly: "Do you know the day the child was retrieved?"
"The day after tomorrow will be late." The calligraphy and painting even swallowed, and the eyes were all covered with tears and swollen like peach kernels.
"Yang year, yang month, yang hour..." He murmured, then picked up the piece of paper on the table full of birthdays and counted them carefully. There were forty-eight children in total. If you include caesarean section, there should be forty-nine.
