Chapter 53
Ah Hua moved very quickly. The next day, before dawn, he stood guard at the gate of the palace.

Sure enough, Lao Zhou came swaggeringly. When he saw A Hua, he was about to say something when A Hua twisted his hands behind his back.

"Hey little brother, what are you doing! This is repaying virtue with hatred! You..."

A Hua said coldly: "You can save these words and talk to Princess Ning."

In the mansion, Tang Xueyao had just had her breakfast, and there was a cup of hot tea beside her, filled with the fragrance of tea.

Wang Man stood behind Tang Xueyao, looking at Lao Zhou warily.

Tang Xueyao looked coldly at the man who was thrown in by Ahua, and said slowly: "Old Zhou, which relative are you today?"

How could Lao Zhou have seen such a scene before? He was frightened by Ahua, and couldn't speak clearly: "Wang... Wangfei, I am just a jobless vagrant. Where are my relatives? I am afraid that Wangfei has arrested the wrong person."

"Catch the wrong person?" Tang Xueyao sneered, "My concubine sees you wandering around outside the palace all day long, so your purpose is not pure."

Lao Zhou was stubborn, still trying to argue: "The villain just saw so many people here, but just wanted to see if there is any kind-hearted person who can help me, Wangfei Mingjian."

This old Zhou, even though he knew that Ah Hua had told others, he still refused to admit it. It seemed that he wanted to scare him.

With a sound of "clang", Tang Xueyao poured all the hot tea in her hand all over Lao Zhou's body, and the teacup rolled on the ground and stopped at Lao Zhou's feet.

"It's okay not to tell the truth." Tang Xueyao looked indifferent, ignoring Lao Zhou's pleading, "Ah Hua, take him to the Shuntian Mansion, and say that he stole the things from the palace, and torture him hard."

As soon as Ah Hua took two steps forward, Lao Zhou kowtowed on the ground with tears in his eyes: "I said, I said, I just want to make money, I didn't break the law, I really didn't break the law!"

Old Zhou emptied out all about his trading account in one breath.

Tang Xueyao pondered for a long time: "Based on what you're saying, this is no longer a matter of a day or two? Then, do you know how many people do this in Baicao Hall alone?"

Lao Zhou recalled: "The business of Baicaotang is booming, there are at least a dozen people."

This is indeed a troublesome matter, Tang Xueyao frowned tightly, without saying a word.

The laws of Ningguo did not stipulate that they exchanged time for money, and used a high-sounding reason to take advantage of the loopholes. This led to people who were really seriously ill and needed to be treated in advance, but failed to receive treatment, and the benefits were all taken by those from decent families. up.

"People live for the rest of their lives just to spend a few taels of silver. This money can save people, but it can also harm people." Wang Man sighed deeply.

"This trafficker has mixed personnel, and it would be troublesome to investigate carefully." A Hua frowned, and couldn't think of a good solution for a while.

Tang Xueyao suddenly asked: "Wang Man, can you draw?"

Wang Man didn't know why the princess would ask this, so she could only reply: "Knowledge a little, it's not considered proficient."

"That's enough, Lao Zhou. You will tell Wang Man all the colleagues you know, what they look like, and what characteristics they have. Let her draw them down, the more carefully the better."

Lao Zhou was very embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "This..."

"Twenty cents a person, as long as you sit here and use your words, we can still provide you with delicious food and drink. Isn't it easier than standing outside and queuing in the cold?" Tang Xueyao threw out her trump card.

Lao Zhou weighed it in his heart, and his small eyes rolled around: "This...is not impossible."

Tang Xueyao seemed to see through what Lao Zhou was thinking, and changed the topic: "Old Zhou, don't think about talking nonsense, it's still easy for us to find someone in Prince Ning's Mansion."

A Hua pinched his fingers beside him and creaked.

Lao Zhou hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed heavily: "No, no, I must do it well, do it well."

Soon, Lao Zhou went to Alan to collect the money, and Wang Man handed over a thick stack of portraits to Tang Xueyao.

"Princess, that old Zhou looked at him with treacherous eyebrows, and seemed unreliable. He wouldn't lie to us, would he?"

Wang Man really didn't have a good impression of Lao Zhou. When she was painting just now, those small eyes rolled back and forth on her body, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"A petty citizen like him is most greedy for life and afraid of death. As long as he is frightened, he will be recruited." Tang Xueyao looked at the portrait.

"Then what's next, shall we search for them one by one according to the portraits?" Ahua rubbed his fists, obviously ready to take on the task at any time.

"No," Tang Xueyao replied lightly, "There is no end to this kind of number traffickers. Once you kill a group, a new batch will emerge. After all, there is still a market for buying and selling numbers. of."

"You and Axuan usually take a look at the door. If you find people in these portraits, be careful." Tang Xueyao handed the portraits to Ahua, and said in a cold voice, "Wang Man, you draw a picture." A notice was posted outside the mansion, saying that buying and selling accounts is prohibited, and if this behavior is discovered, Baicao Hall will not accept such patients within a year."

After this incident, the phenomenon of Baicaotang's trading accounts has indeed decreased a lot, and Tang Xueyao is very satisfied.

In the evening of this day, Tang Xueyao finally finished watching the last patient, and stretched lazily on the chair.

Ah Mui brought a bowl of white fungus soup with great insight.

Tang Xueyao had to do acupuncture for Ning Han and dispense medicine for A Xuan every day, and Baicaotang was treating patients, so Tang Xueyao was so busy that she couldn't keep up with her physical strength.

Two days ago, when she was looking at the patient, she suddenly became dizzy and frightened everyone in a hurry.

So in the evening, it gradually became her habit to have a bowl of white fungus soup.

While Tang Xueyao was enjoying this rare leisure time, A Hua rushed in with a notice in his hand.

"Princess, when I went to the street to buy medicinal materials today, I saw this piece of paper pasted in many places. The people painted on it are very similar to the big tree."

Tang Xueyao took the notice and looked at it carefully.

The person above is the same as the big tree, with a round face and almond eyes, and several obvious features are all in line.

"Ah Hua, go and contact the person who issued the notice. Just say that the child in the portrait is temporarily staying in Prince Ning's Mansion, and don't mention anything else."

If he can see his relatives, after being stimulated by similar scenes, Dashu may be able to recall the past.

It's just that it's hard to judge whether they are Dashu's biological parents now. The portraits of this era are not realistic enough, and it is easy to admit mistakes.

Now Xiaoshu is studying with Ning Han every day. There is only one child in Dashu's house, and Tang Xueyao dare not let him go to the street casually. At this moment, Dashu is alone, squatting on the ground and counting ants in boredom.

"Dashu, do you still remember what your family looks like?" Tang Xueyao waved to Dashu.

Dashu raised his head in confusion: "Home? Prince Ning's Mansion is my home. I have a sister, a brother-in-law, and Xiaoshu."

Tang Xueyao shook her head: "Dashu is a human being, and they all have parents. Your parents are not in Prince Ning's Mansion, they are looking for you everywhere."

"Did I cause trouble for my sister?" Dashu pursed his mouth, as if he was about to cry, "Is my sister driving me away?"

Tang Xueyao shook her head wearily, so she hugged Dashu in her arms, and softened her voice: "Okay, Dashu will stay in Prince Ning's Mansion and won't go anywhere."
