"Okay, I hope Ayun is fine. I guess you were scared too. Go back to your room and take a rest." Huo Jingchen couldn't help softening his eyebrows and pinched Jiang Heyun's little face. He felt that it was not as fleshy as before, and he couldn't help but
I felt a little distressed, and a chill flashed through my eyes when I thought of those villains.
"Yes, Ayun, go back and take a nap and forget all the bad things." Xie Yan looked at Jiang Heyun who was still well-behaved and sensible with a gentle expression, his eyes full of doting and happiness.
"Yes!" Jiang Heyun agreed loudly, then bowed his hands to everyone and trotted back to the room.
Jiang Hexuan, who was standing quietly at the side, hurriedly followed him. After this series of frightening events, he was so frightened that he couldn't bear to leave his brother for even half a step.
"Girl, let me go and give Ayun a bath?" Xing Luo thought of Jiang Heyun lying on the bed dirty, and couldn't help but felt very distressed as he picked up the quilt. He frowned slightly, and after being troubled for a long time, he still couldn't help but speak.
Ask Jiang Hexi.
Jiang Hexi was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect this. After a moment, she patted her head in annoyance and nodded with a smile.
Seeing that the children were gone, Huo Jingchen calmed down and said after a while: "This matter is definitely not simple. Xue Kun seems to have colluded with some people to commit the crime. I will go back and interrogate them later."
, I will definitely give you an explanation when the time comes.”
Hearing this, Jiang Hexi nodded clearly and understood that this matter was very strange, so he said with seriousness: "Thank you for your hard work."
Huo Jingchen glanced at Jiang Hexi lovingly, with a pair of eyes fixed on her, his eyes were deep and soft, as if he wanted to drown her in them, and said warmly: "Then I'll go back first, you've been exhausted these past two days, take a good rest.
, if you have anything to do, please ask Xing Luo to write to me."
"Okay." Jiang Hexi agreed naturally, her expression full of suppleness.
Seeing that she was rarely so obedient, Huo Jingchen's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a few beats for no reason, his eyes flashed, he said no more, nodded slightly to Xie Yan and left in stride.
Huo Yubai, who was waiting quietly at the door as a guard, saw that his master was about to go back, and hurriedly followed him.
"Then I'll go back first. You can comfort Ayun and rest for a few days. Don't just be busy with things in the workshop these days. Take a good rest!" Xie Yan smiled slightly and lowered his head to see.
There were complex emotions behind Huo Jingchen's expression, the tip of his nose twitched slightly, and a gentle voice lingered from his throat.
"Okay, you should also pay attention to rest and go back soon." Jiang Hexi naturally agreed and smiled.
After everyone left, Jiang Hexi thought about everyone's safety and her little brother who was not frightened at all. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and hummed a cheerful tune. After thinking about something, she ran back to the room to comfort Jiang Heyun.
went.
In the dark night, the twilight is like a big blue-black net, falling silently, covering the entire land. The bright moonlight shines all over the ground, projecting several tall black shadows on the earth.
"Master, everyone in the kidnapping gang has been brought to justice. My subordinates have imprisoned Gou Hua, his wife and Xue Kun in the dungeon. Master, do you want to interrogate them personally?" Huo Jingyun, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, saw Huo Jingchen.
The group of people came back in great numbers and walked forward in a hurry.
Huo Jingchen handed the horse rope to Huo Twelve, nodded slightly, and strode in.
Huo Jingyun and Huo Yubai immediately followed.
Several people walked into a rockery. Huo Jingchen activated the stone mechanism on the side. With a clang, a downward stone staircase suddenly appeared in front of them.
As soon as we walked in, the two-meter-wide secret passage was extremely dark. Only the large oil lamps one meter apart on both sides slightly illuminated the path that a few people were walking on. The sound of dripping water could be heard from time to time, and the sound of the wind blew a few people up.
of brocade robes.
"Master, my subordinates have imprisoned Gou Hua and his wife and Xue Kun respectively. Which one do you want to interrogate first?" Huo Jingyun's deep voice sounded.
Huo Jingchen said briefly and comprehensively: "Interrogate Xue Kun first."
After a while, Xue Kun, who was walking calmly, was escorted to the interrogation room by Huo Jingyun.
"Xue Kun, what do you want to attack now?" Huo Jingchen sat on the sandalwood chair and carelessly played with the sword tassel on his waist, and glanced sideways at Xue Kun.
"General Huo has caught the villain, and he has been convicted of kidnapping and trafficking children. There is nothing else for the villain to confess." Xue Kun lowered his eyes and whispered softly, half-lowering his head so that no one could see.
See the look on his face.
"Oh? It's rare that you didn't go to Ping'an Village to arrest people because you heard some rumors? Otherwise, there were so many children there at that time, why did you only arrest Ayun?" Huo Jingchen didn't believe his perfunctory lies, and directly told the strange story.
at.
A trace of fierceness flashed in Xue Kun's eyes, but he still lowered his head and said softly: "The villain doesn't understand the general's intention. The people under his command just caught the young master because he looked so cute, and the rest
It’s just that everyone looks down upon her.”
"Xue Kun, you don't need to quibble. I know almost everything about your actions. You don't need to be afraid of Gou Hua. He himself can't protect himself. Besides, do you think Gou Hua's backers are so reliable?"
Hearing this, Xue Kun suddenly raised his head, widened his eyes, and looked at Huo Jingchen in disbelief.
Huo Jingchen smiled slightly and winked at Huo Jingyun.
Huo Jingyun immediately gathered his soul, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Gou Hua colluded with Xia Xing, the general magistrate of Jingzhou, to search for beautiful young girls from all over Jingzhou, and secretly sold them to various places, especially to certain officials and nobles.
In my backyard, my subordinates happen to have the list of names found from Xia Tongpan, and by the way, Xia Tongpan is still in Jingzhou Prison."
As soon as he heard Xia Xing's name, Xue Kun's face turned pale and he collapsed on the ground.
"Xue Kun, what's the matter? You still want to be loyal to your master and let Gou Hua put all the blame on you, so that you can be a loyal dog that dies?" Huo Jingchen stood up and swept his sharp eyes over
Xue Kun on the ground.
Xue Kun laughed miserably, a trace of ferocity flashed across his face, and then he said in a low voice with a wooden face: "The reason why the villain sent people to catch the young master is because these are Gou Hua's special instructions. The villain remembers that there was a mysterious man that day.
Come to see Gou Hua, and then Gou Hua will give instructions to the villain."
"Then do you know who that person is?" Huo Jingchen asked after him, staring at Xue Kun.
A trace of complacency flashed in Xue Kun's eyes, and he said with certainty: "That person is the second shopkeeper under He Yinbao, the owner of Yuelai Restaurant, He Fugui. I have met him once before, and I have a particularly good memory. I will never forget it.
