"Rescue?"

Jin Miaomiao looked at Xue Ruitian with curiosity, desperately searching the files she had read in her mind, but could not find any information about Yi Ting and Yi Tong.

"Xiaocha, do you still remember those files and what happened about them in them?"

"No."

Shen Cha shook her head gently. Just like Jin Miaomiao, she was frantically recalling the files from the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion that she had read before. Because they wanted to investigate the Qinglian Sect, all the files they had read were It was more than twenty years ago, or even thirty or forty years ago. She could be sure that she had never seen the names of these two people in any file, not even in the internal files.

"You must have never seen this." After reading so many files, I should have seen a case about a missing child that happened in Xijing City almost twenty-five or twenty-six years ago, right? This case alarmed the late emperor and made him furious at the court meeting. The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Patrol Battalion and the Forbidden Army are ordered to jointly handle the case and must solve the case within one month.”

"Yes, there is such a case, the biggest and most sensational case that year." Seeing Shen Haolin looking at him, Shen Cha gestured towards Xue Ruitian and gave a brief introduction to Shen Haolin, Jin Jing and Mei Lin who had never heard of this case. He explained, "If it weren't for the investigation of the Qinglian Sect, we wouldn't have looked through the old files so early and found this case. To be precise, this was not a missing child, but a case against a wealthy family in Xijing City. As for those children, for more than ten days in a row, three to five-year-old children have gone missing from the Duke’s Palace and the Six Ministers’ Palace in Xijing City.”

"Three to five years old?" Jin Jing frowned slightly, "Is it a little boy or a little girl?"

"They are all, regardless of gender." Shen Cha sighed softly, "And most of the children lost in these mansions are the most favored children in the family. For example, the little grandson of the Qingyuan uncle's mansion was only three years old at the time. He was taken out to attend the temple fair by eight or nine servants, but he didn't know what happened and the child was lost. Uncle Qingyuan also asked, and none of the servants and girls said they didn't know what happened to the little grandson."

"Is there a mole?" Shen Haolin frowned slightly, "I remembered that my father and mother told me about this. Xijing City lost more than a dozen children in a row, not only the prince's house, the six ministers, but also several The princes and county princes also lost their children. Every day, the Jingzhao Mansion received many kind greetings. Not only that, these people who lost their children also went to court to severely criticize the Jingzhao Mansion, saying that he was a vegetarian and did not take care of his errands. , Their children have been missing for so many days, there is no news at all, and no kidnappers have come to ask for ransom or anything."

"Wow, something like this actually happened in Xijing City. It's really scary!" Merlin hugged Jin Miaomiao's arm, blinked his eyes, and said, "What happened next? What does it have to do with these two marquises from the Kingdom of Jin?"

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly!" Shen Cha smiled, "Brother said just now that there was a mole, and indeed there was a mole. Otherwise, why would other people's children be lost instead of others? The most favored children in each house? The three- and four-year-old children all look the same. How do the robbers know which family to kidnap and which family to kidnap? There is no way that there is only one such older child in a big family, so how can one be sure that there is indeed a mole, right? "

"Yes!" Shen Cha looked at Xue Ruitian and sighed softly, "What I saw in the file is that the adults from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple found out the commonalities between these mansions where children were lost, and gave them The people who delivered food and meat were all the same people, so they targeted this group of people. It didn't matter if they were targeted, they found that they had close contacts with the kidnappers. To be more precise, they were in the same group as the kidnappers. Later, they carried out the crime. During the next kidnapping, the patrol camp and the imperial army were used to arrest them all. They even found the place where they hid their children and rescued all the children. Only after a joint interrogation by the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple did they find out. It's not that those people don't want the ransom, they want to tie up all the targets, and then send letters to each family, telling them whoever bids the highest price will have their children sent back first, and the one with the lowest bid will be ranked behind. You will definitely come back, but there is no guarantee that the one who comes back in the end will be completely intact.”

"Oh my God, how can there be such disgusting and vicious people!" Merlin was furious, "No, they are not worthy of being human, they are beasts!"

"He is indeed a beast. He can do something to such a small child. What is he but a beast?" It was hung at the city gate for a whole month."

"I probably understand." Merlin nodded, "But what does this have to do with those two princes? They were not mentioned at all!"

"The last kidnapping failed because of their contribution." Xue Ruitian thought for a moment, "The last target was the Xia family's uncle."

"What?" Jin Jing and Mei Lin shouted out in unison, "They actually..."

"You are targeting the Xia family, aren't you?" Seeing the two people nodding, Xue Ruitian shrugged helplessly, "There is nothing you can do about being targeted. After all, the Xia family is more special." He sighed and said, "You also know, The eldest prince has a good relationship with these families and is very close. Furthermore, the two young princes also have a good relationship with them. Occasionally, accompanied by their father and Uncle Shen, they will visit the Xia family as guests. Naturally, they had met their uncle, who was just over three years old at the time. Later, the two young princes went to the street to buy something, and accidentally saw a few people who were delivering food and meat to the Xia family. What were the guys talking about? They were young and curious at the time, so they followed him secretly. Their skills were much better than those of the kidnappers. If those kidnappers didn't have insiders, they wouldn't have been able to kidnap so many people. Child. So, the kidnappers didn’t notice him.”

"Did you follow me to your lair?"

"Well, with their abilities, isn't this easy?" Xue Ruitian nodded and smiled at Jin Jing, "They remembered how to go, so they came back to report the news. Of course, they also consulted the eldest prince. The eldest prince took them to the door of the Xue family and the Xia family, so they made a plan, just like Xiaocha said just now, and arranged the manpower to catch one of the kidnappers. Current. But later when the case file was filed, the two young princes said that they should not leave their names since the limelight had already been exposed. After asking the late emperor, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion involved in the case all The name of the young prince has been erased."
