The whole family died tragically? The eldest daughter is the most powerful in the capital after her

Both Gu Nanyuan and Song Zhennan said that they would take action on this matter.

When Lin Shiyuan heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Whether it is the Gu family or the Song family, they are incomparable to their Lin family.

If the two of them could take action, things would be much easier.

At this moment, Lin Ruoxuan suddenly said, "Although most of the women who returned home before kept silent, some went to the government to make statements after returning."

"General Gu, I wonder if you can get confessions from those women who were kidnapped and then returned?"

Lin Ruoxuan now has no idea how to prove that this method will work, so she just wants to see if there are any clues.

Anyway, there is no way to find anyone, so we can only try our best to save the situation.

Gu Nanyuan and Song Zhennan both understood the meaning of her words.

Gu Nanyuan said: "This method is not bad, but it is not easy to make those people speak."

Song Zhennan suggested, "Why don't we visit the homes of those women? Maybe we can find out who is behind it."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded, thinking it was a good idea.

"There are many villages around the capital. If Mr. Song really wants to go there, he should be careful."

Song Zhennan glanced at Lin Ruoqiao calmly, "Ms. Lin Ba is right. If I go there rashly, I'm afraid I'll really suffer a great loss. If Miss Qi goes with me, I'll feel more at ease."

Lin Ruoqiao was stunned. She didn't expect Song Zhennan to make such a suggestion.

Lin Ruoqiao subconsciously looked at Lin Ruoxuan.

"Seventh sister, please follow her. Third sister's life is the most important thing now."

"If Seventh Sister is worried about your identity being exposed, I will definitely find a chance to help you suppress this matter."

Lin Ruoqiao nodded and said, "If that's the case, I'll go look for it."

After hearing what Lin Ruoqiao said, Song Zhennan's lips curled up slightly.

Lin Ruoxuan, Gu Nanyuan and the other three discussed it and decided to act separately in order to find Lin Ruoxi's whereabouts more quickly.

Lin Ruoxuan saw that the carriage was heading towards Jingzhao Prefecture, and she understood Gu Nanyuan's intention.

But when she thought about the character of the Jingzhao prefect, she couldn't help but worry.

Although the prefect of Jingzhao was a relatively upright person, he was still very concerned about the black hat on his head.

But this is also human nature, and Lin Ruoxuan didn't think that the prefect of Jingzhao did anything wrong in this regard.

But now they really need evidence. If the prefect of Jingzhao does not cooperate, it will be difficult for them to find clues.

Seeing her frown, Gu Nanyuan guessed her concerns and couldn't help but squeeze her hand.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Lin Ruoxuan nodded. Gu Nanyuan’s identity was indeed much more useful at certain times.

The yamen runner guarding outside the door saw Lin Ruoxuan and Gu Nanyuan coming from afar and hurried in to report.

When the prefect of Jingzhao heard that Gu Nanyuan had come again, he did not even bother to have dinner. He packed up and hurried over from the backyard.

"General Gu, what brings you here so late at night?"

Gu Nanyuan nodded, "There are indeed some things that require your help, sir."

The prefect of Jingzhao was startled. Gu Nanyuan was so polite. Could it be that something big happened?

"Your Excellency, do you know about the women and girls who have disappeared and returned home in the capital these days?"

This matter is no small matter, it would be hard for the Jingzhao prefect not to know about it.

"I do know about this. Why did General Gu suddenly ask about this matter? Do you have any clues?"

Gu Nanyuan did not answer the Jingzhao prefect's question, but asked, "I wonder if Your Excellency could show us the files and confessions of these women and ladies?"

This is not a confidential matter, so the prefect of Jingzhao would naturally not refuse.

"Wang Hu, find the files on the missing women that Master Xu has compiled these days."

When Lin Ruoxuan and Gu Nanyuan received the confessions, their brows furrowed more and more.

When the two men put down the files, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

It was not for any other reason, but because after reading the files, they found a place mentioned by these women in common, the "Old Town".

The two knew about the old city, which was also called the slums, where poor people and workers who came to Beijing to work as laborers lived.

Thinking of the flow of people and the distribution of personnel there, Lin Ruoxuan couldn't help but frown. If Lin Ruoxi was really taken there, she would probably be in great danger.

"The women's confessions recorded in these files all mentioned the 'Old Town'. Why didn't you send someone to investigate there?"

The prefect of Jingzhao also knew that this question could not be hidden from the two of them. When he heard Lin Ruoxuan's question, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Miss Lin, you may not know that most of the people living in the old city are people who come to the capital to do rough labor. The population mobility is also very large. If only the yamen runners of Jingzhao Prefecture go to investigate, it will be very difficult. If they are not careful, they will alert the enemy. Not only will they not find the people, but it will also be a problem whether these yamen runners of Jingzhao Prefecture can return safely."

The words of Jingzhao Prefecture Yin made Lin Ruoxuan silent. It was not like she had never seen refugees causing trouble. She had seen it countless times in her previous life...

Seeing that Lin Ruoxuan did not refute, Jingzhao Yin knew that she had taken his words to heart.

"And the second reason is that there is no definite evidence for this matter. As long as there is no evidence, unless our people catch those people on the spot and deny it, no one over there will admit to this matter."

Lin Ruoxuan looked unhappy, "Those women..."

"Ms. Lin, do you think those women will come forward and admit that they were defiled?"

Lin Ruoxuan did not answer because she already knew the answer in her heart.

Jingzhao Prefecture Yin shook his head and said, "We all know that there are problems in the old city, but it is extremely difficult to deal with the problems in the old city."

Lin Ruoxuan calmed down. She knew that what the Jingzhao prefect said was not wrong.

Gu Nanyuan, who was standing beside him, suddenly stood up and said, "Sir, do you still remember your responsibilities?"

The prefect of Jingzhao was stunned. He didn't expect Gu Nanyuan to ask this.

But when he saw Gu Nanyuan's angry expression, he understood the reason.

"General Gu, I certainly remember it."

"Since you remember, then in your heart, the affairs of ordinary people are not worthy of your attention?"

"If one day, the children of those dignitaries were kidnapped, I wonder if you can still shirk your responsibility so calmly?"

Upon hearing Gu Nanyuan's words, cold sweat immediately broke out on the forehead of the Jingzhao prefect.
