"Xiao You." Xia Younan hurriedly stopped her and whispered in her ear.

Of course she knew her husband's intentions. In this situation, she had no choice but to compromise and find other solutions.

After hearing her words, Qu Xiaoyou was very unhappy and said coldly: "You want me to go with them first? Why? It's not like I can't beat them."

Xia Younan lowered his voice and whispered: "Don't be impulsive, this is a third-rank official, not the kind of unknown person you met.

"He is in the right now. If you use force, you will not get any advantage. When he files a complaint with the emperor, even if you are not afraid of death, I am afraid that your father will be implicated."

Qu Xiaoyou was slightly moved when she heard this. She had always been fearless in the martial arts world, but if she really offended the emperor and implicated her father, she didn't want to see that.

Xia Younan continued to persuade him, "Don't worry, I won't ignore you. After handing you over to the Ministry of Justice, it will take at least three days to review the various procedures. During these three days, the prince and I will find out the truth and redress your injustice."

"Really?" Qu Xiaoyou hesitated.

Xia Younan nodded heavily, "Really? Also, my senior brother doesn't believe you. If you use force, he will think you are barbaric and unreasonable.

"When I find out the truth and prove that you are innocent, I will slap him hard in the face, make him feel guilty and blame himself, and make him apologize to you."

Qu Xiaoyou's eyes lit up, and she glanced at Zenmu with resentment. She stopped struggling and agreed to her suggestion, "Okay, I believe you. You must redress my grievances."

Xia Younan patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will."

Xia Younan let Tao Fengzheng and the others take Qu Xiaoyou away. He sighed and looked at Tao Fengzheng's back and murmured, "Who is this Shangshu? He doesn't look like a good person."

Lu Xiuyuan snorted coldly and replied, "Having been friends with Ye Baijiang for more than ten years, what good can that be?"

"Ye Baijiang?" Xia Younan exclaimed, frowning as if thinking about something.

"Are you still going to continue the investigation? She has admitted it herself, and the victim she mentioned does not exist." Chanmu didn't quite understand Xia Younan's insistence.

Xia Younan glared at him unhappily, "Just wait and apologize to her!"

Xia Younan believed that the girl's family and villagers were forced to tell lies, so he dragged Lu Xiuyuan and Chan Mu to question them door to door.

However, no matter how she investigated, the villagers were surprisingly unanimous in saying that there was no such girl in the village.

"What should I do?" Xia Younan was worried.

Lu Xiuyuan touched her head and comforted her: "There will always be a way. Didn't you notice? When the villagers heard our questions, they were too excited. They didn't dare to look us in the eye. Some even didn't dare to open the door."

Xia Younan sighed, "I also discovered that they are obviously afraid and guilty, but they refuse to speak, and we can't torture them."

"Let's think of another way." Lu Xiuyuan took her hand and was about to leave.

"What if you can't think of a solution?" Xia Younan pouted and looked at him.

Lu Xiuyuan raised his hand and scratched her nose, and said the cruelest words with the warmest smile, "Then I will kill Tao Fengzheng's entire family. Anyway, as long as you don't want Miss Qu to die, I won't let her get hurt no matter if she is guilty or not."

Xia Younan was touched, and she hugged his neck and acted coquettishly, "My husband is so domineering, I love you so much."

"..." Zenmu and Zenen's faces were filled with black lines. These two people are really a perfect match.

After the investigation was fruitless, the group reluctantly turned back. When they reached the small river outside the village, a child's voice suddenly called them.

"Brother and sister, wait a minute!"

A few people stopped and looked back, and saw a little boy running towards them.

The little boy was about seven or eight years old. His eyes were red and tearful, and his fair face showed anxiety.

Several people looked at each other in confusion, and Xia Younan walked up and asked, "Are you calling us, kid? What's the matter?"

The little boy rubbed his red eyes and said to her with a sob: "Please save my sister. She has been captured by the bad guys."

When these words came out, several people were shocked. Xia Younan asked hurriedly: "Who is your sister?"

The little boy replied: "My sister's name is Yueqing, she is the girl you were looking for at my house just now."

Xia Younan was surprised and happy when he heard this, and looked at his companions angrily, "Did you hear that? That girl really exists, Xiaoyou didn't lie."

Zenmu looked at the boy, a guilty look on his face, and asked, "We went to your house to look for your sister just now. Why wasn't your sister here? And why did your mother say she didn't have a daughter?"

The little boy sobbed and explained, “Before you came, my sister was captured by a group of people. They said that my sister killed their young master and wanted my sister to be buried with their young master.

"They also didn't allow my mother to tell anyone about my sister. If we didn't obey, they would kill our whole family."

Xia Younan flew into a rage after hearing this, and asked with gritted teeth, "Then the villagers in your village were also coerced by him?"

The boy nodded while crying, "Yes, they told the village chief that if anyone mentioned my sister, they would massacre our village. My mother locked me up just now, and I escaped by secretly climbing over the wall.

"I know you are the only one who can save my sister. Please, save her!"

The little boy cried more and more in pain, tears and snot fell down, his little face turned red from crying, and he looked heartbroken.

"How ridiculous!" Xia Younan was so angry that his whole body was shaking, veins popped out on his forehead, and his teeth were clattering, like an active volcano about to erupt.

"How can you be a prince when a third-rank official openly abducts women and threatens the people?"

Unable to bear it any longer, she shouted at Lu Xiuyuan and started to chase in the direction where Qu Xiaoyou was taken away.

Judging from the situation, I'm afraid her anger will not be appeased unless I kill a few people today.

Lu Xiuyuan was stunned by being yelled at for no reason. He blinked and chased after her with a helpless look on his face.

This girl, doesn't she know that everything requires evidence?

Zen En glanced at Zen Mu beside him and said sarcastically, "Big Brother, does your face hurt? I believe that Sister Xiaoyou would not kill people for no reason, but you didn't believe her and said that to her.

"She saved someone but was still scolded. Can you imagine how wronged and sad she is right now?"

Zen Mu was speechless, his expression was as cold as a rock, and there seemed to be infinite regret in his indifference.

The image of the girl suffering injustice and the aggrieved and resentful look she gave him before she left emerged in his mind. His heart sank to the bottom and he was so guilty that he couldn't utter a word.

Chan En pouted and pulled him to chase Xia Younan and his wife, "Let's go, senior brother, think of a way with senior sister, we will definitely be able to rescue Sister Xiaoyou."

Zenmu nodded and followed him somewhere in silence.
