Hang Tianyi couldn't help but be stunned after hearing Sima Sheng's words. This was really a big deal. It seemed that Wang Xiaoshan's disappearance was definitely not an accident.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, can't we live a safe and peaceful New Year? Hang Tianyi's eyes are full of helplessness.
"How many people are missing in total?" Hang Tianyi asked.
"These families in the capital are all big families. There are more missing people in the town, fifteen people in total!" Sima Sheng looked slightly solemn.
By this time, everyone could see that there was a big problem.
In his previous life, Hang Tianyi knew many cases of child abduction and trafficking. He didn't expect that in this world, all of this would happen before his eyes.
Under normal circumstances, there is almost no chance of finding an abducted child, so he became a little more solemn.
"Brother Hang, this case of missing children can be big or small. You have to pay attention. This is the capital. Once there is any public opinion, it may get out of hand!"
Sima Sheng was not joking. The important thing is that there are several wealthy families here. Under normal circumstances, there are people from such families who are serving as officials in the court.
If it's not handled well, something big will happen.
Hang Tianyi's expression became solemn: "Indeed, plus Wang Xiaoshan from Wangjia Town, there are now sixteen children!"
Sima Sheng said: "Brother Hang is always the best at solving cases. I am here to wish Brother Hang success and solve the current crisis!"
When Hang Tianyi heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Why would Mr. Fu Yin say this at this time?
"Sir, I have found some businessmen, tourists, circus, and opera singers in Wangjia Town. They are very likely to be related to this case. I also ask you to request an imperial edict and ask the local government to cooperate in the investigation!" Hang Tianyi said
.
Sima Sheng said: "Although this is a bit difficult, I can do it. You go and tell the brothers to do things, and I will go to the palace to ask for orders!"
"Okay, I'll leave it to you, sir!" Hang Tianyi bowed his hands and saluted.
Sima Sheng waved his hand: "What are you talking about? We are all working for His Majesty, and we are all in the Kyoto Prefecture Yamen!"
Hang Tianyi smiled indifferently and didn't say much. Although Sima Sheng was a little more diplomatic, he was still a good official.
If the governor were not Sima Sheng, but someone else, it would not be so convenient for him to do things.
Next, Hang Tianyi called Zhang Chenyu, Li Chunlai, Liu Ying and others together.
There were dozens of people in the Kyoto Prefectural Government Office, all of them were in high spirits and looked serious at this time, because they knew that cases of missing children like this were often the most difficult to handle.
In the history of Kyoto Prefectural Government, there have been several cases, but so far, none of the cases have been solved.
"The things I put in your hands include the missing children in the surrounding towns, their addresses and other information. It is already late today. I will check it out tomorrow to see how the children disappeared and whether there are any outsiders.
When passing through town, checking the inn is the key!"
Hang Tianyi ordered his brothers, and they agreed to come over one by one.
They are all still young. Since arriving in Kyoto Prefecture, they have not dealt with the case of missing children. This is the first time, although they know that such cases are difficult to solve.
But seeing that Hang Tianyi's arrangements were orderly and targeted, the brothers gradually gained confidence.
After the brothers left, Hang Tianyi divided the remaining ones among Liu Ying, Zhang Chenyu and Li Chunlai.
"These families all have people in the court. Brothers, please be careful!" Hang Tianyi said.
"Don't worry, boss, we have always been very measured!" Li Chunlai assured him, patting his chest, this guy has always been good at pleasing his boss, he really can't change his attitude.
"In that case, I wish you all smooth sailing, the case will be solved soon, and the New Year will be easy!" Hang Tianyi said with a smile.
Zhang Chenyu and Li Chunlai hugged their fists and left.
Hang Tianyi said: "Go back, you haven't been back for dinner for a long time, your adoptive mother is talking about you!"
Liu Ying smiled calmly: "I'm not going home, I just have some things of my own to do. It just so happens that we're done today, so we'll go home together!"
Hang Tianyi nodded, and the two brothers went to Liu Ruoxi's Tianxi Bookstore. After closing the door, the three of them went back to Liu's house.
Today, the snow has increased a bit more, especially in the evening, when heavy snowflakes fall down like cotton wool.
Outside the house, there was a thick layer of snow, and inside the house the oil lamps were shaking, and there were many figures. After all, this was the capital city, which was lively and prosperous, and no other place could compare with it.
When she got home, Wang Shu had prepared a meal, and Liu Hongzhi, who had gone out to do business, was also back.
Except for Liu Ruolan from Qingyun Academy, the whole family has already gathered.
The Chinese New Year is a day for family reunion. According to Hang Tianyi's estimation, Liu Ruolan will definitely come back.
In this way, the New Year is really a "New Year" for Hang Tianyi, but fortunately according to the usual rules, Liu Ruolan will not stay at home for a few days.
"Big pot, I want to eat that, bring it over to me!"
At the dinner table, Liu Ruoxi saw that Hang Tianyi was in a daze, so she put the bowl over her. In her eyes, Hang Tianyi was closer than her eldest brother.
Hang Tianyi came back to his senses, smiled calmly, gave Liu Ruoxi a piece of pig's feet, and said with a smile: "You should eat more vegetables!"
"Hmph, it's better to eat meat!" Liu Ruoxi is really a carnivore.
But this girl won't gain weight after eating it. If she had this kind of physique in her previous life, I don't know how many celebrities would be envious of her.
In the Liu family, there is never a shortage of food. Liu Ruoxi is not a partial eclipse either. She eats a lot of meat and a lot of vegetables.
After a dinner, Liu Ruoxi urged Hang Tianyi to catch up on manuscripts. Recently, "The Peony Pavilion" and "The Romance of the West Chamber" have been selling well in the bookstore, but the most popular one is "A Dream of Red Mansions", which is currently being serialized.
Regarding these, Hang Tianyi gradually adapted to it. It seemed that using other people's things to make money was quite good, and he also made a lot of money.
The most important thing is that the author cannot come to this world to sue him. This is... a bit lawless!
After finishing the manuscript, Hang Tianyi fell asleep. In his dream, Cao Xueqin, Wang Shifu, Tang Xianzu and others came to him to demand compensation and file a lawsuit.
In the morning, Hang Tianyi woke up and smiled bitterly. How could he have such a messy dream?
After breakfast, Hang Tianyi did not go directly to the Yamen. Instead, according to yesterday's plan, he went to inquire about homes where children were missing.
In the town, the brothers can handle it, but for the big families in the capital, it is a bit troublesome if there are people in the court.
So when Hang Tianyi assigned tasks, the swordsmanship department was singled out and he, Zhang Chenyu, Li Chunlai, and Liu Ying were responsible for it.
Among these families, Zhou Xianlang's family, where Hang Tianyi is going to go today, is the most difficult to deal with.
Zhou Xianlang was a Tanhualang who took the imperial examination three years ago. He became a disciple of Prime Minister Wang Boduan and now holds the official position of Minister of Rites.
