What on earth was going on? Hong Gu suddenly felt that something was wrong and asked quickly. Liu Ya then told her the whole story.

"broken!"

Hong Gu stamped her feet. She was so busy watching the workers digging lotus roots that she even forgot that Third Young Lady was sleepy these days and couldn't take care of Young Master Sun.

Hong Gu quickly looked around, but indeed there was nothing. She became anxious and asked the people who were digging lotus roots to stop and help look for it.

Everyone was from the village, and when they knew Xiaohai was missing, they became anxious. They quickly came out of the pond, washed their hands and feet, and started to help look for him.

Just now, Hong Gu sneaked into the Third Young Lady's room and saw that she was sleeping soundly, and Young Master Sun was not in there. She didn't dare to wake her up, for fear that she would get worried if she knew.

The Third Young Lady is only two months pregnant and the fetus is not very stable yet. If she knew that Young Master Sun was missing, the consequences would be disastrous.

Hong Gu thought about it and decided that the matter could not be delayed any longer, so she asked Liu Ya and Le Le to immediately notify the eldest and third young masters, and asked Qiao Qiao not to go anywhere but to stay at home in case Young Master Sun came back.

Now that such a big thing has happened, she can't bear such a heavy responsibility.

In addition, Hong Gu asked other villagers to help call Dadong and others back to help look for it.

Dachun and Sanchun were busy in the workshop at the moment, and Zhang Tiezhu was weighing peppers at the door.

Seeing Liu Ya and Le Le running in from the front door with red faces and anxious expressions, he immediately stopped what he was doing and asked, "What are you two doing? Why are you so anxious?"

"Grandpa, Xiaohai is missing. Grandma Hong asked us to come and find him." Lele said breathlessly.

"What! Say it again!" Zhang Tiezhu suddenly felt his blood pressure soaring, his vision went dark, and he quickly supported the person next to him.

Liu Ya said timidly, "Grandpa, we were playing hide-and-seek, and Xiao Hai hid somewhere. We couldn't find him no matter how hard we looked."

Now Zhang Tiezhu couldn't care less. He quickly threw down the peppers that had not been weighed and ran into the workshop to call Sanchun.

At this time Old Mrs. Li also heard something was wrong and hurried out of the grocery store. When she heard what they said, she rushed in to call Dachun.

Dachun and Sanchun felt something was wrong and walked out. They saw Zhang Tiezhu and Li and were stunned when they heard what they said.

Sanchun ran home as soon as he could. At this time, Dachun also reacted and ran into the workshop, asking everyone to stop what they were doing and help find someone.

All of a sudden, the workers came out in a mighty force. Upon hearing the news, Erya also asked the workers to come out to help in the search.

At this time, Dadong came back with his servants. The villagers told him that Young Master Sun was missing, so he hurried home in a hurry.

All of a sudden, hundreds of people from the workshop conducted a carpet search in Kaoshan Village.

Xiao also went back and told her husband He Guang, asking him to call on the villagers to search for him quickly.

When the village chief He Guang knew about this, he immediately asked his son He Jing to beat the gong and ask everyone to help find the person.

When everyone heard about this, they put down their work and joined the search.

Everyone has children, and everyone knows that children are the lifeblood of a family.

Normally, there may be some minor frictions among us occasionally, but when the critical moment comes, no one will gloat over other people's misfortunes.

No matter how big the conflict was, everyone would put their personal grudges aside. Even Liao joined the search.

There was no sign of Xiao Hai in the village, so everyone went to the next village and looked in the fields, but they couldn't find him either. This made everyone even more anxious.

Sanchun's eyes were red, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his dark face, and his chest was heaving violently.

Where could a two-year-old child go? Could he have been kidnapped by someone? Thinking of this, his pupils shrank, and countless possibilities flashed through his mind.

Everyone knew the situation was serious. It was almost noon now. If things continued like this, it would be even harder to find the body when it got dark. Everyone discussed and quickly expanded the search area.

……

At this time, Shen Ping and his party also returned to Heyang County. Passing by the county government office, Shen Ping went in to say hello to County Magistrate Zhang.

Magistrate Zhang had already received an imperial edict from the court, saying that the emperor would send people to Heyang County to revolt against the Tenth Prince, also known as Prince Yi.

He also heard that Madam Shen had been promoted to Concubine Yi.

Two days ago, people from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Internal Affairs came. These were the people who planned to stay in Qi's mansion, and he had arranged for them to stay.

The land that the emperor bestowed on Prince Yi and Yu Yiren was not far from Kaoshan Village, only about a mile away. The land of Prince Qi's mansion was also there.

The land for building the palace covers thirty acres, and when the time comes, the houses will be built nearby.

He Li also met with the people sent by the Ministry of Works and the Imperial Household Department. They exchanged polite greetings, and the person in charge of the Ministry of Works even gave the design drawings to He Li for review.

They also said that they had traveled around Heyang County in the past few days and ordered a lot of things needed to build a house.

Anyway, the emperor said that all these were left to them, so He Li was happy to have some free time. After all, when they finished building the house, he could just move in.

County Magistrate Zhang offered to keep them for dinner, but Shen Ping declined. With so many people in his group, if he started cooking now, it would take at least an hour.

This hour, I can almost get home. Shen Ping is now eager to go home, and does not want to delay for a moment. She came out of the government office and rushed back to Kaoshan Village.

After walking for another half an hour, the midday sun was scorching the earth. Shen Ping stopped under a tree by the roadside and let everyone rest for a while.

He took out the steamed buns he had bought earlier and distributed them to everyone. Some guards also whispered that it would have been great if they had stayed in the county government office to eat.

Unlike now, when we can only eat steamed buns in the hot summer. Shen Ping immediately retorted: "What's wrong with steamed buns? I don't know how many people can't eat steamed buns these days."

Chen Bi rolled his eyes at the soldier who said this: "You shameless guy, are you the reincarnation of a starving ghost?" The guard immediately shut his mouth.

After everyone had eaten, they soon continued on their journey. Shen Ping lifted the curtains to look at the scenery along the way. As they were getting closer and closer to the mountain village, Shen Ping became so excited that even her breathing became rapid.

Suddenly, Shen Ping saw a man and a woman, who successfully caught her attention.

The couple looked to be around 30 years old. Shen Ping thought they were a little strange. Why? Because they were carrying peppers as they walked out.

Looking at the direction they came from, they should have come from Kaoshan Village, but they are not from Kaoshan Village.

This is strange. If they were not from the mountain village, the two people carrying the peppers should have gone to the pepper workshop to buy them. But why did they carry the peppers back?

Not only that, the two of them looked nervous and looked back from time to time. There must be something wrong.
