Rebirth of marriage

Although An Le Gong resigned from the military power, he was a military commander after all. The three kingdoms all attacked Daxia, so how could he sit at home peacefully.

He occasionally followed the Duke of Zhen to the military camp, and tried his best to hand over his great-grandson Su Bolin to his parents Su Jing and Zhao Qiutong.

Su Jing now works in the Sixth Department, and it has been a busy time in the Yamen recently. Zhao Qiutong is pregnant and easily gets sleepy at noon, so he always has to squint for about an hour, so Little Bolin is taken to play by his servants.

Today, Little Bolin clamored to see Mr. An Le. The servants did not dare to disturb Zhao Qiutong, who was taking a lunch break, and could not coax the young master, so he took the child to play at the door of the house, but he suddenly fell into a coma for some reason. When the concierge found out that he was unconscious, When we left, the child was gone.

After Su Jing and An Le Gong received the news, they returned home and searched all around. Zhen Guo Gong personally led the soldiers to search in the capital for half a day, but couldn't find anyone. Only then did they find Xie Jiu, a pregnant woman.

When Xie Jiu heard that Zhao Qiutong's son was missing, his first reaction was that it was related to the emperor.

The emperor was ill now, and she and Gu Xiao had been worried that he would do something crazy for the sake of his health. Gu Xiao took over Aunt Qing's previous connections in the palace and asked them to keep an eye on them. There were also people watching when entering and leaving the palace. With.

Xie Jiu quickly asked Li Sheng to contact these two parties to see if they could provide some clues.

Then he thought that if the emperor's secret guards were really responsible, it would be difficult for these people to detect anything strange, so they still used the method they used to find Lou Qi last time, and asked King Golden Horn to mobilize a group of snakes to help find people.

Sure enough, Li Sheng quickly responded to the message, and no abnormalities were found in the palace. In other words, they were restricted by their status and the places they could keep an eye on were limited.

The news reported by King Jinjiao was that there was a small gate in Cao's Mansion, and there was nothing they could do if they went inside Cao's Mansion.

Because snakes rely on smell to find people, and the Cao Mansion has been spreading realgar and snake and insect repellent medicine continuously since the last incident with snakes. Under the cover of these smells, they can't tell the difference between Little Berlin and Little Berlin. odor.

Xie Jiu was puzzled, why did the Cao family arrest Xiao Bolin?

To lure her to Cao Mansion?

Cao Zhicheng sent people to southern Xinjiang, and he believed that she had incredible abilities. He wanted to lure her to the Cao Mansion, and then use Gu insects to control her?

This also makes sense.

But Xie Jiu always felt that it was not that simple. Even if Cao Zhicheng, that old fox, wanted to control her, he would not attack her openly in the Cao family.

What's more, why should she go to Cao's house?

Tell the Cao family, my snake found out that someone kidnapped Little Bolin and entered your Cao family?If that were the case, I'm afraid they would have attacked Xiao Bolin before they even entered Cao's mansion.

Breaking in by force would not work. If Xiao Bolin had been moved, not only would they not be able to find anyone in the Cao Mansion, they might also have a conflict with the Cao Mansion and be entangled by them, unable to get away to find Xiao Bolin.

Xie Jiu paced back and forth, what was Cao Zhicheng's purpose in arresting Berlin?

Maybe if you understand this, you can really find someone in time.

She suddenly stopped and asked Li Sheng, "Where is brother Cao Zhicheng?"

Upon hearing this, Li Sheng quickly turned around to confirm their movements.

Xie Jiu's heart sank. When they heard that Berlin was missing, they subconsciously rushed to find Berlin while ignoring the others.

An Le Gong knew that his great-grandson had been kidnapped into Cao's house, and when he was about to break into Cao's house with his sword that had been abandoned for many years, Su Jing dissuaded him with the same concerns as Xie Jiu.

They didn't have any evidence to prove that it was the Cao family who abducted the person, except for the message delivered by the little snake, but what if the little snake made a mistake? After all, they were not human, and they were not familiar with Berlin.

He was not afraid of offending the Cao family, but he was worried that he would go astray and miss the opportunity to save his son.

An Le Gong angrily wanted to scold Su Jing for not being able to take care of his son, but seeing that he had a circle of blood blisters on his mouth due to anxiety, he couldn't bear it anymore.

He felt so remorseful that he should have held Little Bolin around his neck like before.

Su Jing saw his self-blame and comforted him, "Grandpa, let's all calm down. Now is not the time to feel guilty and self-blame. If someone intentionally harms Berlin, I'm afraid you won't be able to change the outcome.

What I can't figure out now is why the Cao family wanted to arrest my son, or was it that someone arrested my son in the name of the Cao family? "

Xie Jiu, who was just thinking of this, raised his eyes to look at him and asked, "Brother-in-law, does he have any close confidants in Jingzhao Mansion? Can you check if anyone has reported a missing child recently?"

"Yes, a friend I once helped is now a literary historian in Jingzhao Mansion." Su Jing didn't know why she asked this, so he answered first.

After replying, he asked, "Do you suspect that it's not just my Berlin that is missing?"

Xie Jiu nodded. If the Cao family did this just to lure her into the game, then why did it have to be Xiao Bolin?

She didn't know why, but she thought about the possibility that the pills that the emperor had taken before were made using women's bodies to make pills. Now, he was eyeing children again.

The emperor was able to do even the job of cutting up a pregnant woman. In his opinion, sacrificing several children might be considered a blessing for the children.

According to normal logic, he would not have targeted Berlin from the beginning. No matter how little military power Lord An Le had lost, he was still a military commander who had made great contributions to the Xia Dynasty. The emperor would not be so unscrupulous as to attack the children of the old hero's family.

Unless there is no suitable candidate in the capital, but obviously not. The most indispensable thing in the capital is children, especially those from well-off families. There are a lot of women in the house, and children are born like mushrooms after a rain.

Children are different from women. Women can enter the palace with their names in the draft. Children from wealthy families are not like poor families who sell their children to enter the palace as eunuchs.

The emperor could only steal the child, but if someone really lost the child, there would be no news at all. She suspected that someone reported the crime, but was suppressed.

Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Jingzhao Mansion all obey the emperor's orders. Wu Chong of Dali Temple is already regarded as Gu Xiao's man, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is considered a decent person, and only the Jingzhao Mansion is there.

The newly appointed governor of Jingzhao is the emperor's servant and is only loyal to the emperor. If the emperor orders it, he will suppress these cases and even conceal them for the emperor.

So she asked Su Jing to check this.

The Cao family was most likely aware of the emperor's actions and took the opportunity to capture Berlin and present it to the emperor, worsening the conflict between An Le Gong and the emperor.

But it cannot be ruled out that Emperor Lard was deceived and looked down on children of low status, and focused his attention on Berlin, so he used the Cao family's cover to arrest people.

Thinking of this, Xie Jiu glanced outside the door. Li Sheng hadn't come back yet.

A thin layer of sweat broke out on her back. With this guess, for some reason, her thoughts seemed to be pulled by something, and she was desperately trying to get closer to it.

If this is really the case, she bit the tip of her tongue to keep herself calm, then the emperor really deserves to go to hell.

Su Jing didn't know that Xie Jiu was in a turmoil, so when she nodded, she didn't ask any more questions and went to find the clerk of Jingzhao Mansion.

Xie Jiu then ordered Yanzhi, "Take my name card to Mr. Wu Chongwu and ask him to help check whether any children have disappeared recently. Let the people from Jiuxiao Pavilion also investigate the matter, focusing on rich households and ranks. The home of a low-ranking official."

"I'll go to the other end of Wu Chong." Lin Shu stood up, "Yanzhi, please send the order to Jiuxiao Pavilion."

Yanzhi nodded when he saw Xie Jiu, and followed Lin Shu out the door.

An Legong didn't know what Xie Jiu was thinking of, but seeing her give a series of instructions, he must have a direction, and he hurriedly raised his hand to her, "Princess Xiao, I have thanked you in advance, is there anything I can do?"

Xie Jiu saw that his eyes were full of anxiety, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart. He would definitely not be able to wait if he was asked to wait quietly. Hearing that Zhao Qiutong was already furious, if something happened to Xiao Bolin, he was afraid that An Le Gong and Zhao Qiutong would also die. Follow and throw it away.

But what can An Le Gong do at this time?

Those were just her guesses, she needed to wait for Li Sheng to come back to verify.

Just as he was thinking about what to say to appease An Le Gong, he saw Li Sheng running over quickly, "Pavilion Master, while we were looking for someone, Cao Zhicheng entered the palace.

The brother who was staring at the palace gate said that he had brought many boxes into the palace, saying that there was a war on the front line and the Cao family would donate some of their wealth to the national treasury.

Today, Mrs. Cao Er took a group of Cao family members to the Daming Temple to pray for the soldiers fighting on the front line.

The first assistant's wife returned to her parents' home to visit her sick mother. "

If the Cao family knew how to think about Daxia, the emperor would not have thought about eradicating them all these years.

Within one day, they had three parties dispatched, which already showed that there was a ghost. No matter which party wanted to hide a small Berlin, it would not be difficult.

"Where will they hide my Berlin?" An Legong understood Li Sheng's words, but he couldn't figure out where the Berlin would be, just like he couldn't figure out why the Cao family wanted to capture his Berlin.

Xie Jiu looked behind the screen, where a dark shadow flashed away.
