Mo Wuxie thought for a moment and asked Miao Xiong to find out when the batch of medicinal materials arrived in the imperial capital.
Miao Xiong had just received Mo Wuxie's verbal benefits. In order to gain more favor from Mo Wuxie, he naturally devoted himself to this matter.
If you want people to do things wholeheartedly, you have to give them some actual sweetness.
After Miao Xiong left, Mo Wuxie went to Mo Xie again and told Mo Xie the truth. Mo Xie was naturally overjoyed. Nothing was more important than curing his son's disability, and he readily agreed to Mo Xie's request.
As a result, Miao Xiong's father is about to rise in both the ruling and opposition parties...
It was not until evening that the tongueless boy finally woke up from his sleep.
Mo Wuxie was vomiting in the yard when he heard the noise in the house and immediately entered the room.
"Ahhh!" The boy seemed frightened, trembling all over as he watched Mo Wuxie come in and hide under the table.
"You are safe now, don't be afraid!" Mo Wuxie didn't know why, he could look at the corpses wrapped in horse leather and be indifferent, or he could look at people lying in a pool of blood and remain indifferent, but he only hated those who killed children.
"He's just a child!"
He felt a pity in his heart.
The boy's eyes were full of fear. After one glance, he huddled under the table. No matter what Mo Wuxie said, he didn't dare to come out, for fear of being beaten!
After Mo Wuxie's guidance, the boy finally crawled out from under the table, but his eyes still flickered from time to time, trying to avoid Mo Wuxie's gaze.
"Tell me, who harmed you? I will stand up for you and bring that person to justice!"
Seeing him, Mo Wuxie nodded and shook his head, making gestures with his hands.
The child was speechless at all!
He took out another piece of paper and put it on the table and asked the boy to write down the person who harmed him.
The boy couldn't write at all, but he drew some incomprehensible things while trembling!
Looking at the messy paintings, with Mo Wuxie's strong understanding, he finally seemed to see that these were big jars!
Big jar?
Mo Wuxie muttered softly, thinking of the boy curled up on the bed, and seemed to suddenly understand.
"Did someone put him in a jar and keep him?"
His idea shocked him. It was inhumane and only a crazy person could do it!
Mo Wuxie comforted the boy for a long time, and the boy seemed to be no longer afraid. There was a sense of panic and security in Mo Wuxie's eyes.
He knew that it might take a lot of effort to make the boy no longer afraid.
Thinking of Qinghe, it seems that only the brilliance of women can help a boy get out of the darkness!
So, he found Qinghe again.
It's strange to say that this boy just took a moment to start talking to Qinghe with ahhhhhhh gestures, and seemed to have stepped out of the shadows all of a sudden.
Mo Wuxie felt relieved.
He walked out of the Duke's Palace and came to the deserted alley where he had met the boy. To his surprise, the eight bodies had disappeared, and the blood stains on the ground had also disappeared.
Someone cleared the place!
This idea suddenly appeared in his mind, making him even more certain that this was an organized crime.
Considering that the boy's frail body could not run very far no matter how fast he ran, then the place where the child was killed should be nearby.
He immediately looked around, his eyes like lightning.
There are more than thirty households here. Which one is it?
He knocked on a door and an old face poked out from inside.
The old woman's cloudy eyes suddenly lit up, and her expression showed excitement. She hugged Mo Wuxie and cried, "My grandson, you are finally back!"
Mo Wuxie did not push the old woman away or speak.
The old woman's crying became louder and louder, and Mo Wuxie could only comfort her: "Old man, you are wrong. I am not your grandson. Look at me again!"
Mo Wuxie gently pushed the old woman away. The old woman looked at him carefully, then suddenly lowered Mo Wuxie's shoulders and said excitedly: "Give me your grandson, give me your grandson!"
Mo Wuxie suddenly realized that the old woman's grandson must have disappeared. Thinking of that boy, he couldn't help but wonder if he was the old woman's grandson.
This possibility was very high, so after some reassurance, the old woman's mood gradually calmed down, and she looked at Mo Wuxie again.
Through understanding, the old woman had a thirteen-year-old grandson who disappeared three months ago. His son and daughter-in-law went out to look for him, but he never came back!
The old woman cried every day, and her eyes almost went blind from crying!
"Old man, to tell you the truth, I am a detective from the Duwei Mansion, and I am investigating the disappearance of children. Are there any strangers moving around here recently?"
The old woman thought for a moment, pointed to a high-walled courtyard opposite, and said: "I have lived here for more than seventy years and am very familiar with this place. Not long ago, I found some strange men moving around in the courtyard opposite.
.They rarely go out, and every time they go out they buy some daily necessities!”
Mo Wuxie's eyes lit up when he looked over. The courtyard was indeed very big, and the walls were high enough, at least three meters high. The gate to the courtyard was closed, and it seemed very quiet inside!
"Old man, I saved a child today. I don't know if he is your grandson. Just wait here and I will bring the child over to meet you!" After saying this, he was about to leave the old woman's dilapidated and low house.
When I walked to the door, I thought of something, and told the old woman to stare at the opposite side. He would be back in a moment!
So, the old woman sat at the door and looked at the opposite side without blinking.
When he came back with the boy, he found that the old woman was already sitting at the door, even her eyes were still staring straight at the opposite side.
When the boy saw the old woman, he threw himself into her arms, and the old woman's body collapsed immediately!
"Ahhhhhh!"
The boy was gesturing with his hands, his face was very anxious, and tears were streaming down his face!
Mo Wuxie knew that this boy was the old woman's grandson, and the old woman was already dead!
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
He pulled the boy away and pressed his fingers on the old woman's neck. Then his expression suddenly changed and he tore the clothes off the old woman's chest. There was a five-finger blood mark on the old woman's wrinkled chest!
"Brother, this old man was murdered!"
Qinghe felt sad for a while and almost shed tears.
Mo Wuxie said: "I didn't expect that the old man would be killed on the back when I stepped on the front foot. There should always be someone watching here!"
He turned around and looked at the high wall, feeling regretful in his heart. If he had ignored the old woman's feelings for her grandchildren and went in to investigate, perhaps nothing would have changed. At the same time, he also speculated that the old woman's son and daughter-in-law should also
Suffered a vicious attack!
But there is no regret medicine in the world, not to mention that he just did bad things with good intentions.
He glanced at Qinghe and said seriously: "Qinghe, hurry back to the Duke's Mansion!"
After saying that, he put the old woman's body and the boy into the carriage and asked Xiao Xinzi to take them home.
"Brother, you have to be careful!"
Qinghe was very worried about his comfort.
"Don't worry, no one in this world who can kill me has been born yet!"
After sending Qing He away, he no longer has any worries and can let go and find out!
As soon as I stepped onto the high wall, I immediately felt something strange in front of my eyes.
There are three houses within the high wall. The houses are dilapidated and the window paper is almost intact. The yard is overgrown with weeds. Even a dry well does not have a well rope or a barrel. It does not look like someone has lived there!
Someone has been in and out of such a courtyard for some time, and it is impossible for it to be like this now. Obviously, there will be clues here.
He jumped down the wall, and the thigh-high weeds on the ground immediately fell down in all directions.
But at this moment, a strong sign of danger appeared in his mind, and his expression changed drastically.
Then, a ball of red light shot up from the weeds, stirring up a large amount of weeds and dust, and rushed straight towards Mo Wuxie's chest.
