After marrying a concubine, I have the ability to read minds

Chapter 453

He quickly set up a stove, and got some firewood from Huotoujun, and the crucian carp was stewed quickly.

The emperor took a few ministers and the prince for a walk nearby, and when he saw a stove fire rising at Gu Wanning's side, he walked over curiously: "The Huotou army has prepared meals, why is there a fire here?"

Gu Wanning bowed to the emperor: "The servant girl saw that there were fish in the river, so she fished some and prepared to make fish soup. If the emperor doesn't mind, you can try it later."

The emperor still remembered Qiu Ju, after all, she was the one who made ramen for him. Knowing that she was good at cooking, he nodded, "Okay, let's try it."

He didn't stay here too long, and after saying a few words, he raised his feet and walked forward.

Ye Hanyu deliberately lagged behind a few steps, blinked at Gu Wanning, and then hurriedly followed.

Gu Wanning was so teased that her eyebrows and eyes were raised.

The interaction between the two was noticed by the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and the boss smiled.

Unexpectedly, the relationship between this young couple is quite good. Seeing that King Yu usually has a straight face all day long, he did not expect to have such a side.

Xi Jing quickly came out of the forest with his guards. It seemed that he had harvested quite a lot. In addition to pheasants and hares, he even hunted an adult sika deer. The guards cleaned up the prey by the river quickly, and then brought it to the imperial chef. Choose, and the rest is given to the Huotou army.

As the sky darkened, torches were placed around and a bonfire was lit. The imperial chef's meals were almost ready, and the prince and ministers were left to eat with the emperor. Gu Wanning filled a portion of fish soup and sent it to the imperial On the other side of the tent, she settled the dinner with a few maidservants.

It was still cold on the side of the mountain at night, Gu Wanning felt a little sleepy, so she went directly into the tent to rest without waiting for Ye Hanyu. In the middle of the night, there was a sudden sound of dogs barking on the side of the mountain, followed by noisy human voices and footsteps. Gu Wanning was awakened suddenly. Ye Hanyu didn't know when she came back, so she slept next to her. When she opened her eyes, the man was gently putting on his coat.

"Are you awake too?"

"Master, go and see what's going on, and let Hongmei come over to accompany you by the way."

The sound outside was getting closer and closer. Ye Hanyu put on his clothes and went out of the tent. Some of the night watch guards had already rode to the front to check the situation.

The guard came back quickly and reported: "Three children were lost in Zhujia Village earlier, and now the whole village is looking for those three children, but there are no clues, and the child does not know when it was lost."

On the mountain road, the light of the torches slowly approached the camp. The villagers were agitated. Several people insisted on coming over to look for the children. How dare the guards let these villagers approach. If Sheng Jia was disturbed, there would be ten of them The head is not enough to cut off.

"Why did you stop us from checking?"

"Because there are no children of yours here, if you dare to make noise again, don't blame me for punishing you."

"It's great to be an official? Punish the crime if you say it! Those are three men, why did you ask us to look for it?"

"Yeah, I sent people to look for it all around, but I didn't even see a ghost. What if the thief is hiding in your camp?"

"When you didn't come, our village didn't lose any children, but today, the children from the three families you changed vegetables lost. If you say that this matter has nothing to do with you, who will believe it?"

Xi Jing kept paying attention to the person who spoke, and it was he who first encouraged the villagers, and he was also the first to suspect that there was something wrong with their group.

As long as anyone has eyes, anyone can see that this group of people has a lot of background, and he claims to be an official. It stands to reason that ordinary people can only hide and go, how dare they rush to offend?

"What's the use of me stealing a child? Besides, which thief did you see stealing something and didn't leave, and still waited there?"

One of the women suddenly burst into tears, "My lord, you can do me any favors, my family only has a single seedling, Xiaodouzi, who is only six years old this year, if he is really lost, I don't want to live!"

The women of the other two families who had lost their children also started crying, their voices so loud.

Xi Jing frowned inexplicably. He still remembered this woman. In the evening, he took his hands to the village to exchange vegetables. She also said that after the exchange, she would go to the town to buy candy for her son tomorrow.

The emperor naturally heard such a big movement, "Li Changhai, what time is it?"

Li Changhai hurriedly put on a piece of clothes for the emperor, "If you go back to the emperor, it will be an ugly time."

"Since we have met, I will help you find someone. If you still can't find it by dawn, then send someone to the nearby county government and let the local parent officer take care of it."

Li Changhai hurried out of the tent, walked quickly to Xi Jing, and passed on the emperor's words.

After Li Changhai delivered the message, he hurried back to serve the emperor. Seeing that the women were crying louder and louder, Xi Jing said, "Sister-in-law, our master has already told us that we will send guards to help you find it tonight. My child, if I haven't found it by daybreak, I will go to the county government to ask the county master to help me find it, folks, don't worry, the child will definitely be found."

"You put it bluntly, the county magistrate is so easy to please? A few children were abducted by kidnappers in the village next door to ours the year before last. The village is taking several families who lost their children to report the crime. The county magistrate accepts them. After collecting the ten taels of silver collected by those families, a few yamen servants were sent to pretend to search for it for a long time, and even if it was all over, the children have not been found so far."

Xi Jing couldn't help frowning, it seems that child stealing is quite rampant here, and this county master is a bit inactive.

"Lin Yi, take two teams of guards to accompany these villagers to find the whereabouts of the child. Before Yinshi finds it, go to the county government."

Lin Yi took the order, pointed out two teams of guards and called the people to continue looking for the child.

The villagers who proposed to come here were also in a panic. There are hundreds of people here, and their entire village is no more than eighty or ninety families. The most important thing is that, as the leader of the official said, At first glance, he could not be the thief who stole the child, and he got help from him, so he left quickly. After all, he still had to find the child!

Gu Wanning heard the voices outside gradually disappear, and then the man entered the tent, "Go to sleep, I'm fine."

"How could it be such a coincidence? But the person who Commander Xi went to change things lost a child?"

Ye Hanyu also felt that this was very strange, as if someone was going to plant a frame on their group, but they didn't look like human traffickers to anyone with a discerning eye.
"Don't think about it if you don't understand it, just go to sleep."

The man took off his coat, and lay down next to Gu Wanning, one arm naturally stretched out under her neck, and he was about to hug him in his arms.
