"Stay flat." Kangxi had already sat down, motioned Guo Yanzuo to stand up and asked, "Is that child Lin Ruhai's daughter just now?"

"Yes! I have sent someone to send her back to Rongguo Mansion."

"This Lin Ruhai came to Beijing to report on his work, why didn't he live in his own house, but in Rongguo Mansion instead?"

"This... Your Majesty doesn't know that the house of Master Lin's family in the capital has been in disrepair for a long time. At the end of last year, there was heavy snowfall, and half of the roof collapsed! No one can live here, let alone..."

Guo Yanzha and Lin Ruhai were born in the same family, and they were much older than Lin Ruhai. At this moment, they couldn't help but feel that talking about other people's family affairs behind their backs was not done by a gentleman.

But seeing that Kangxi listened with gusto, he had no choice but to continue: "Master Lin has a weak relationship with his in-laws, so he didn't plan to live in Rongguo Mansion from the beginning.

It turns out that Master Li, a scholar, has made an appointment with Master Lin to let his family live in the University's mansion temporarily.Ruhai went to Li Dashi's mansion on the first day when he arrived in the capital, but he never thought that when he went to pick up his wife the next day...

The people from Rongguo Mansion were waiting at the pier, and invited Mrs. Lin and Ms. Lin into their carriage without saying a word..."

"Li Jingqi has actually endured his temper?" Kangxi was amused when he heard this.

"Scholar Li naturally couldn't bear it, otherwise he wouldn't have chattered so much with the officials, but the Rongguo Mansion is Master Lin's in-laws after all, and Bachelor Li didn't want to make a scene like a sea of ​​embarrassment over this matter. nice."

"This Rongguo Mansion is also outrageous. My son-in-law didn't pick it up when he came, but my daughter and granddaughter picked it up so diligently, they didn't take Lin Ruhai seriously at all."

Kangxi sighed, put the topic aside and looked at Guo Yanzuo: "There are kidnappers rampant even in the capital? How dare you snatch children in broad daylight?"

Guo Yanzuo just got up, when he heard this, his complexion turned pale and he knelt down again: "Your servant should die!"

"Stand up and answer!"

"...there are indeed kidnappers in the capital, and these kidnappers usually work in gangs, abducting a few children in one place and then running to another, which is extremely difficult to track.

In addition, most of the abducted children are about three to eight years old, and most of them are rescued without even knowing the location of their own homes. These are considered lucky.

If most of the girls have been sold to rich families to be maids, and if they are good-looking and even a lot of them are exiled, it is useless to know where their hometown is! "

Guo Yanzuo looked very dignified.

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are all these villains wantonly snatching children, let alone outside? As the Governor of Shuntian, you are so indifferent! What should you do?"

"The minister should die!"

"Damn you!" Kangxi stared angrily at Guo Yanzuo with a bad tone.

Guo Yanzuo was so frightened that he leaned over the ground and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, you don't know. Most of these people are covered by local hooligans, and the officers and soldiers in my minister's Shuntian Mansion are even more familiar to them. These people in this place have long since fled without a trace!"

"Your Majesty! The ministers are willing to testify for Mr. Guo!"

Kneeling at the back, a white-bearded judge gritted his teeth and took two steps forward, "Master Guo's eldest daughter was abducted by kidnappers at the Lantern Festival a few years ago and hasn't been on tour yet!

Because of this, Mrs. Guo cried and went blind!As soon as Mr. Guo got news of the kidnapper, he formed a team to arrest him, but nine times out of ten, someone tipped the news!Master Guo was murdered several times!Everyone in our government office knows about this—! "

"Is that so!?"

A trace of complexity flashed across Kangxi's face, and he became more and more annoyed seeing Guo Yanzuo weeping down his face.

He slapped the table heavily and shouted angrily: "Liang Jiugong!"

"The slave is here!"

"Immediately send someone to pass on my order, order Xiangbai Banner Assistant Leader Song Zhu to lead a team of more than a hundred people to gather outside the city, obey the order of Governor Shuntian, and make sure to catch all these kidnappers!"

"twitter!"

"I obey the order! I thank the emperor Long En!"

Guo Yanzuo was overjoyed and immediately accepted the order.

"Your Majesty, if you don't go to Prince Gong's mansion, it will be too late!" Liang Jiugong paused, and whispered in Kangxi's ear to remind him.

"You send someone to report to Chang Ning, saying that I have something to do today! I will go together later! I want to know how many families these kidnappers have harmed over the years! How many evil things have they done!"

"Your Majesty! Your dragon body is precious, how can you do such a thing—"

If something happens...

Guo Yanzuo was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and advised him tactfully.

"No need to say more!"

The two jailers stood at the door, watching obediently as Mr. Fu Yin followed Kangxi into the prison.

They lowered their heads and looked at the ground, secretly astonished at the identity of this person, but they never imagined that it was actually the emperor himself.

After entering the prison, he walked through the dark passage to the inside. The man who was caught on the road was hanging in the air with a bruised nose and a swollen face, looking at a group of people who came in from the outside in surprise.

The jailer in charge of the torture didn't pay attention to the other people who came in and just bowed their heads: "Master Guo, this person has been interrogated by us for a while! He confessed that it was just a coincidence, and when he saw the young lady sitting outside the door, he took medicine and turned over." Take it and leave!"

Before Guo Yanzuo could speak, Kangxi directed Kaiyang who appeared behind him at some point: "Take down this jailer, and then interrogate this man."

"twitter."

Kai Yang's expression remained unchanged, he bent slightly to send Kangxi off, turned around and walked out the door, showing a frightening smile on the prisoner's face.

Regardless of the more and more miserable screams resounding from inside, Kangxi stood outside the door, most of his face was surrounded by shadows, staring at Guo Yanzuo indifferently.

"I'm afraid this is not the first time the jailer has acted like this! Don't you know?"

"minister……"

How could Guo Yanzuo dare to say that he had never been in prison at all, his face flushed and he knelt and kowtowed.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Kangxi's eyes.

Within a quarter of an hour, Kai Yang wiped his hands and appeared silently in front of Kangxi, knelt down on one knee and replied, "Master, this person has already confessed. There are a total of ten people in their gang and 20 guards. They are near Fengtian Mansion in Shuntian Prefecture." They have stolen, cheated, and bought nearly [-] children! All of them were placed in the farmhouse outside the west gate."

"Has Song Zhu arrived yet?"

"Master Songzhu has sent someone to deliver the letter, and has arrived at the gate of the city to prepare, and is waiting for your majesty's will!"

"very good."

Kangxi nodded and looked coldly at Guo Yanzuo, who was kneeling on the ground and fighting all over his body, "I see that you have been loyal in the past and have not made any mistakes. I will forgive you this time and make you atone for your sins this time! Be sure to put these The kidnappers will be wiped out! If anyone escapes—"

"Just raise your head and come see me!"

"Yes! The minister obeys the order!"

"Your Majesty, there is one more matter." Kai Yang muffled.

"Say."

"This man still has the child's life in his hands! According to his confession, he didn't plan to steal Miss Lin's, but a child he had a crush on before took the medicine and somehow developed a rash all over his body! He despised it as useless. He just threw it into the river and drowned... That's why he stole Miss Lin at the corner to make up for it!"

"brute!"

Kangxi was furious. He was afraid that the child was allergic to drugs. If he was sent to the hospital, he could save a life, but he met such a wolf-hearted person!

It's a pity that the child's life was lost!

"After asking, let's execute!"

"twitter!"

"Go! Let's go immediately!"

"twitter!"

In order to deceive others, Kangxi and his party got into a plain and simple horse-drawn carriage with ebony sheds and green screens, and drove all the way to the gate of the city.

There is now a long queue at the gate of the city. Besides the gate guard, there are four more guards with knives carefully checking everyone who enters and exits.

Seeing Liang Jiugong's appearance, Song Zhu, who was standing on the sidelines patrolling, hurried forward to greet him and walked together to a clean corner.

"What does that mean?"

"Your servant sees the emperor!" Song Zhu knelt down and saluted unhurriedly, "The servant sent people to check the entrance and exit of the capital to ensure that there is absolutely no kidnapper in the city who can slip out again!"

He was quick-witted, and after hearing the news from the messenger, in order to prevent people who were still in the city like kidnappers, all the children brought by the people who went out of the city were shaken awake and questioned carefully.

"very good!"

Kangxi's expression softened a lot: "How about the village?"
