After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

When Liu Yunxiang heard this, he was startled for a moment.

"Your wife just gave birth to a daughter for you. Where did the son come from? Could it be that you were outside..."

"The dog I have raised for more than ten years is my biological son!" Zhou Lihuai explained hurriedly.

Liu Yunxiang glared at Zhou Lihuai speechlessly, then became confused again, "Your dog was kidnapped?"

"A masked man kidnapped me and said that if I don't accomplish what they asked me to do within ten days, my son will be stewed!" Zhou Lihuai said anxiously.

Liu Yunxiang felt that the person who hijacked Zhou Lihuai was childish, and Zhou Lihuai was also childish. The matter itself was childish.

"So, why did you ask Yan Mu for help?"

"Only he can help with this matter!"

Although it was outrageous, seeing how anxious Zhou Lihuai was, Liu Yunxiang could only take him to the palace first. Fortunately, Yan Mu had already returned from the palace and was reviewing piles of memorials. So when he heard Zhou Lihuai coming in such a hurry just to ask him to save his dog, he gritted his teeth and ordered his guards to throw him out.

"Lao Qi, if Xiaoyue is lost, he can be considered our son!" Zhou Lihuai grabbed the corner of the desk, fearing that the guards would drag him out.

Yan Mu lowered his head and continued to review, "What Xiaoyue, I don't remember."

"We picked it up on the street. You saw it in the firewood pile first. It was trembling when it was born without opening its eyes. It must have been abandoned by its own mother. You said this dog is pitiful, but I said you You might as well take it back and keep it, but you thought it was troublesome and asked me to take it home. Later, you often went to see him, and he also kissed you. Based on this, you must help me save it!" Zhou Lihuai started to act rogue. .

Yan Mu took a deep breath, pushed the folding paper in front of him away, and leaned back, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Zhou Lihuai saw that Yan Mu wanted to take care of it, so he quickly cheered up and said anxiously: "This matter, this matter... I actually haven't figured out what it is until now."

When Yan Mu heard this, he picked up the folding book in front of him and was about to smash it over. Liu Yunxiang hurriedly handed over a cup of tea and whispered comforting words: Listen to him speak slowly.

Yan Mu took a sip from Liu Yunxiang's hand, and then pulled her to sit next to him.

"Yan'er and Xingyi went to play at Qu Moran's place. We'll pick them up together later," he said.

"But you have so many memorials here, can you leave?"

"Every book is written in a hurry, but the more urgent it is, the more time it takes to read it."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "What's the truth?"

"They are anxious, but if I am not anxious, they will figure it out on their own."

"How treacherous!"

The two exchanged a few small words, and Zhou Lihuai finally understood and said: "It's not as good as yesterday, neither hot nor cold, and I rarely have free time, so I took Xiaoyue for a walk. When I reached the intersection, At that moment, Xiaoyue suddenly became very excited, untied the dog leash and ran out. I hurriedly chased after it, and saw it... ahem, I saw it was talking to a five or six-year-old child. I just ran over and grabbed Xiaoyue, At this time, the official came and said that the child was a thief. He stole the meat buns on the ground to buy them with other people's money. He wanted to take him back to the Jingzhao government office. The child was really hungry. He was still there at that time. He ate it, for fear that the dog would snatch it from him again, so I tried to stuff it into his mouth. I said that the child was still too young to be sent to the government office. How much money had he stolen? I would make up for it for him. But the official said that it was stolen. If the man refuses to give up, the thief must be severely punished.”

Zhou Lihuai finished speaking in one breath, picked up the teacup next to him and took a big sip.

Liu Yunxiang exclaimed, "According to Darong law, children under the age of 12 who commit crimes can be dealt with lightly if appropriate. If you steal money to buy a few buns, you should not go to jail."

Zhou Lihuai nodded and sighed, "The bad thing is that this child escaped from the Shan Nian Camp."

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang and Yan Mu couldn't help but look at each other. They knew very well what was going on at Shannian Camp. After the fire, the people there were hungry and cold, and wanted to run out whenever they had the chance.

After the emperor ascended the throne, established the Shannian Camp and imprisoned the criminals of the former Crown Prince Ming Yong's rebellion, he also established a special law: Those who are low-ranking members of the Shannian Camp violate the law, regardless of the severity of the crime, regardless of their age, regardless of their age. Any reason will be severely punished.

In order to please the emperor, the last sentence of heavy punishment has evolved into a capital crime. That is to say, as long as a person in the Shannian camp breaks the law, no matter how serious or big it is, without any reason, he will die.

Zhou Lihuai said helplessly: "The law is so, I can't say anything. I can only see the officials taking the child away. When the child left, he didn't forget to pick up the uneaten meat buns on the ground. Hey, he was really hungry. Cruel. After that, I took Xiaoyue to wander around the lake for a while. Because I was really not in the mood, I planned to go home. Suddenly a woman wearing a mask, about seventeen or eighteen years old, came up. He grabbed the dog leash from my hand. I was unprepared for a moment, and because the girl knew kung fu, she quickly snatched it away and dragged Xiao Yue away. I let Xiao Yue bite the dog thief, and then she I found that it was walking crookedly, and it was obvious that it had taken some drugs. The girl was also very strong, so she picked up Xiaoyue and ran away. I didn't catch up, and when I was about to report it to the official, someone gave me a paper Tiao, first scolded Xiaoyue for taking advantage of others' power and snatching other people's meat buns to eat, and then said that I should find a way to rescue the child who was just taken away by the officials. If he can't be rescued in ten days, they will stew Xiaoyue."

After finally finishing talking, Zhou Lihuai looked at Yan Mu and the others, "Do you understand? It's just that, but why it happened to me is really inexplicable."

Liu Yunxiang had no choice but to say, "I can only blame your dog for being too greedy."

"Look at the way that child is picking up meat buns on the ground to eat. They said they were going to stew Xiao Yue. I have to believe it!" Zhou Lihuai patted his heart. Before anything happened, he began to feel sorry for his dog son.

Yan Mu narrowed his eyes, "So you're looking for me?"

"I could only follow those people's request and go to Jingzhao Mansion to see if the child could be redeemed. They said they felt sorry for the child, but the person who had the money stolen wanted to be held accountable, so they could only Handle the case impartially. I asked if there was any way to save the child. They said that as long as the owner of the stolen money was not held accountable. I asked who the stolen money was from. At worst, I would beg him. Don't tell me, looking at them, that person has some background. I don't have the reputation, but you are the Minister of Justice and have the right to intervene in this case, so you can help me find out who that person is." Zhou Lihuai said .

Yan Mu was silent for a moment, "This is not difficult to do."

Zhou Lihuai nodded hurriedly, "It's just a piece of cake for you."

At this time, the servant of the house brought a paper package, saying that someone had put it at the door of the house, but they could not see who it was.

Yan Mu asked the boy to open it, and there was actually a bunch of dog hair in the paper bag.

Zhou Lihuai stood up in a hurry and shouted heartbrokenly: "My Xiaoyue, if you have two shortcomings, my father will not be able to survive!"
