[Red House] World Transformation Project

In the capital, where a fifth-rank official can be hit by just throwing a stone, in fact, a fourth-rank Guozijian sacrificial wine is not paid much attention to.

Ruan Qing originally wanted to go in person, but after thinking about it, she decided to forget it.Banquets on such occasions also have the meaning of blind date banquets. Most wives who are not relatives and have sons go there, basically for the purpose of meeting their children. She just rejected him, and going there in person would be a bit of a slap in the face.

In the end, Yuanchun and Wang Xifeng were allowed to pass by. Little girls of the same age participated, mainly to support the sisters. One of them was the only daughter-in-law of Rongguo Mansion, and the other was the fiancee of the eldest son of Rongguo Mansion. It's not small anymore.

When Mrs. Li received the notice from the servants, she was actually a little bit reluctant. At the beginning, after Mr. Li told her that she had discussed with Jia Zheng, she was full of joy. Who didn't know that the two sons of the Rongguo Mansion were both young talents, and they kept their lives clean. , Is it a profit if you pick one up? Without this sentence, she would definitely not dare to miss Jia Zhu, but being disappointed after having hope is more uncomfortable than having nothing.

If you can't do it, don't promise, but it will make people happy.

Li Wan is gentle and Buddhist. Although he felt a little lost in his heart, he was able to comfort his mother and said: "For a family like Rongguo Mansion, even if it is the second room, we are the ones who have climbed up. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. With such a family background, after entering the door, we must pay attention to it." There must be a lot of rules in socializing, in the big family, and the daughter is dull, how can I cope with it. I just want to live in peace, just like my mother."

Thinking of this, Mrs. Li could only sigh, and forced a smile to ask the servants to treat the two girls well. No matter what, their identities are not worthy of neglect.

Wang Xifeng is extravagant, shrewd and willing to lower her social status, Yuan Chun is dignified but not at the same time friendly. Although the two are eye-catching, they will not overwhelm the guests. They are not in the same circle as the Li family, and it would be embarrassing to stay for a long time, so they only gave gifts, saying After a few auspicious words, they dispersed.

The gifts they gave were quite rich, outsiders didn't know about it, they thought that Li Wan had a good relationship with the two girls from the Rongguo Mansion, but they only seemed more eager when they saw this, Yuan Chun still had lingering fears after leaving the Li Mansion, "You ladies are really enthusiastic. "

She seems to understand, but Wang Xifeng is very clear. Yuan Chun is the only daughter from the Rongguo Mansion, but her father's official position is not high. Because Jia Zheng was married at a low age, they were not qualified to see him normally, but when they finally saw him, they were all worried about it.

Wang Xifeng didn't want these thoughts to dirty her sister's ears, so she said: "You are the youngest among the juniors present, so everyone naturally wants to love you a little more."

Yuan Chun seemed to understand, he pursed his lips and laughed, and said: "I was thinking that I don't have anything to do today, why don't I go to the street to buy some snacks to take back, An'er always yells to eat those."

Ruan Qing does not restrict children from eating outside food. Some small stalls in ancient times were much cleaner than some modern restaurants. Just make sure that there is no problem. There is no need to raise them in a deep boudoir and not touch anything, but the resistance will be weak.

An Chun has a lively personality. Yesterday she knew they were going to go out and she kept clamoring to go, but there were two invitations, one for the first room and the other for the second room. There would be no more, and she could only stay at home, Yuan Chun felt distressed Sister, I just want to go back earlier today.

Wang Xifeng had no objection to this, but said: "Everything you buy has to be checked by the girl. Sister An'er is still young, so don't make her sick when she is tired."

Yuan Chun pushed her and said with a smile: "What you said, everyone is young, you are the big sister, and I am An'er's sister."

The two sisters talked and laughed, bought some snacks and refreshments along the road in the carriage, and hurried home before it was dark.

Ruan Qing had just counted the number of betrothal gifts with Mrs. Zhang, when she saw Yuan Chun come in and asked An Chun where she was with curiosity, she said: "Seeing you go out, she made a fuss to go out, I'm afraid it's not safe for her to go out secretly. Let Bai Ling take her out."

Yuan Chun was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Just say that my mother is hard-spoken and soft-hearted. In this way, we will look like outsiders."

Ruan Qing ate melon seeds lazily and didn't care: "An'er can give me a hug, can you?"

Yuan Chun pursed her lips and remained silent when she heard the words. She was already 13 years old, how could she stay in her mother's arms all day long.

Wang Xifeng saw that they were indifferent when they chatted, so she turned her head and told the girl to heat up the snacks, so as not to have to wait for An Chun to come back, Ruan Qing said: "Look at how caring your sister Feng is, people say that your daughter is a caring little padded jacket , your sister is caring, you are a leak."

Yuan Chun twisted her body and refused to recognize her, lying next to her coquettishly, Wang Xifeng followed suit, and inadvertently looked outside the door, frowned slightly, and said: "It's getting dark soon, why hasn't Sister An'er come back?"

Ruan Qing froze for a moment, frowned and said, "It's a bit late..."

Soon she thought about it again, "An'er is playful, so she probably doesn't want to come back, and Bai Ling doesn't dare to be tough, they all bring guards, it's okay."

Wang Xifeng thought about it too, so she didn't say any more, and smiled in agreement with Ruan Qing.

At first, no one paid much attention to it. Children loved to play, and they often came back after dark. It was not until the time of Hai Hai that Ruan Qing gradually became a little panicked, and kept asking people to ask, but there was no news.

When it was close to midnight, someone replied. Seeing Bai Ling limping back, Ruan Qing immediately had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the moment she opened her mouth, there was a thunderous thunder: "Madam! Damn the servant, the second girl... the second girl was abducted by a kidnapper!"

Rongguo Mansion was brightly lit all night.

Bai Ling has always been calm and self-retaining, but now she was sobbing and her description was messy. She continued intermittently: "The girl wanted to go to see the lanterns before dark, but the slave refused, so the girl just sat down and didn't dare to hurt the girl. , thinking that there are two brothers who can always protect the girl well, but when the servants pay the money, the girl disappeared in a blink of an eye!"

Aunt Shen's eyes darkened, she couldn't stand still, she was barely supported by Pomegranate.Pomegranate pointed at Bailing "you" for a long time but couldn't say a word, thinking that the little girl came to say goodbye to them with a smile when she went out at noon, and lost the news in the afternoon, her eyes were red, and she shed tears Come.

In fact, not to mention this era, even in modern times, abducted children are rarely found back. Basically, heaven and man are separated forever, and it is difficult to get together again.

Ruan Qing gritted her teeth secretly, feeling a strong killing intent for the first time since being a tasker.

She stood up from her chair with a bang, and said in a cold tone, "Prepare the car, follow me to see the master."

Bai Ling was taken aback, thinking she was talking about Jia Zheng, but when he heard that he was going to prepare a car, he quickly realized that it was Jia Daishan.

She panicked, "Ma'am!"

Ruan Qing said: "I don't have time to explain. Let's go first, Shiliu, tell the old lady and sister-in-law after we leave."

Because they had been paying attention, they were the first to know about the accident. What Ruan Qing was going to do next was out of the ordinary, and she might not be able to leave after telling Mrs. Zhang and the others.

Aunt Shen and Shiliu almost thought that they were all daughters. As usual, even if they were daughters of aristocratic families, they could only report to the officials if they were lost, but it was almost impossible to find them back. At this time, the beautiful girl was lost, and the ending was predictable. Know.

The two expressed their thanks in a hurry: "Thank you madam, thank you madam..."

Ruan Qing didn't listen any more, turned around and left.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng hurriedly ordered people to stabilize the situation in an orderly manner, in an attempt to buy Ruan Qing more time.

Ruan Qing hurriedly sent a message to Wu Ming on the way: "Lend me a soldier, An Chun is lost."

Then he sent it to Li Zhi: "Write the imperial decree, Anchun lost it, I will lead my troops to look for it."

Wu Ming just fell asleep, when she heard that she was dying and was sick, she sat up in shock, hurriedly got up and changed her clothes, and when asked by the servants, she said that she wanted to go out to get some air.

Li Zhi was reviewing the memorial at this time, and she was immediately shocked, but she had lived in the deep palace all year round, and she had already developed the ability to hide her emotions and anger, so she raised her head and said calmly to the servant beside her, "Please prepare your pen and invite the imperial decree."

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

When Jia's mother and Mrs. Zhang woke up quietly and learned that Ruan Qing had left the mansion by car, Ruan Qing had already left the city with the token of Rongguo Mansion.

Under the fearful eyes of the servants, she got up, faced the soldiers' vigilant swords calmly, showed the token in her hand, and said, "Jia Wang, the second daughter-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion, begs to see her father, Duke Rong."

The two soldiers looked at each other, waved their hands, and someone turned around and ran in to call for someone. Soon Ruan Qing was called in. She was not polite when she saw Wu Ming, and said, "An'er is missing."

Wu Ming just knew it, nodded and said, "I'll go with you."

She turned her head and said: "You go and order a hundred elite soldiers and wait outside the city, you accompany me into the palace."

When Ruan Qing saw the surprised eyes of some people, she realized that she was too close to Wu Ming, and immediately distanced herself from her calmly, saying, "Are you going or should I go?"

Wu Ming said: "What do you think, I can only go, you will see the imperial concubine at most, but you will not see chestnuts... Your Majesty, don't worry, An Chun was lost at night, when the city gate was closed, the trafficker If you can’t get out, you wait until I bring the imperial decree.”

It is not a trivial matter to deploy troops without permission. If it is not done well, it will be a charge of rebellion. After all, Li Zhi is still the emperor on the surface, so it is difficult to favor such things.

Ruan Qing breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.

She closed her eyes to relax, and felt where An Chun was. This was her ability to feel living people avoiding zombies in the last days, but now she used it to find people.

Some people are scarier than zombies.

Wu Ming rushed to the palace without stopping. The palace door was locked, so she used the token Li Zhi gave her to come in. Without stopping for a moment, she took the token and brought the eunuch next to Li Zhi to come out.

Neither of them dared to delay, so they took the imperial decree and went to order the city to be closed. The movement at night shocked many people, but most of them shrank back after seeing the imperial decree and the eunuch beside Wu Ming.

Ruan Qing tapped her temple twice, her brain felt a little tingling, she frowned and said, "Someone come with me, I probably know where it is."

A soldier beside Wu Ming was taken aback immediately, but she didn't respond, "Follow her, you all listen to her."

After he finished speaking, he paused, and then said: "I am here to guard the city gate, you just need to rest assured."

Ruan Qing nodded, very upset, and led the equally distressed Jing Zhaofu Yin and a group of soldiers into the city.

Yin of Jingzhao Mansion was also just picked up from the concubine's bed, he wiped his sweat, he didn't dare to approach Ruan Qing at all, and said in a low voice: "According to my humble opinion, the second girl of your mansion may have been killed by those people. I bought it..."

Human children were relatively legal in ancient times, but first of all, they were willing. Many who could not afford to raise children or survive would be sold voluntarily, and some family members of criminal officials would not care whether they were willing or not, but Voluntary or not, who knows.

Those who don’t want to raise their daughters and sell them can say that they can’t survive. Those who were kidnapped ignorantly at a young age may not remember that they were kidnapped. To put it bluntly, no one will care about these things. If they are all banned, Who will serve them?

But An Chun is already nine years old!

A girl at this age is already a big girl, and she will be able to discuss marriage in a few years. Whether she is well-raised or not is one thing. She has already remembered, and An Chun's appearance and pomp will not be a small family. If she sells it, if she finds a chance to contact her family, it will be a disaster for traffickers.

Ruan Qing squinted at him and asked, "Have there been similar cases in the capital before?"

The fat cheeks of Jingzhao Mansion Yin trembled, and he thought about it: "Yes... yes, there were many adults who came to report to the government in the past..."

But no one is as aggressive as the Rongguo Mansion!

He wants to cry but has no tears, and there is always a feeling that a storm is about to come.

Ruan Qing frowned and said, "Which family are they?"

There was more sweat on his forehead, and he said tremblingly: "The third daughter of the Liu Yushi family's brother, the sixth daughter of the concubine of Chen Shilang's family, and the fourth daughter of the concubine of Master Li's family in the west of the city..."

Ruan Qing calculated carefully, and found that these were either the daughters-in-law of some small officials, or the daughters of officials with no real power below the third rank, or the daughters of businessmen, but they all had one thing in common: they were not qualified to suppress On the head of Jingzhaofu Yin!

The governor of Jingzhao Mansion is from the third rank, and those who lost their girls are the highest rank from the fourth rank. They have no real power, and most of them are concubines. As we all know, the status of concubines is not high, and they don’t have much background. Basically, they just lose it. lost.

Ruan Qing knew that Liu Yushi was the only niece who was an old-fashioned niece. The pedantry of this guy was only worse than that of Jia Zheng. He would use the board to slap every word a girl said to a male servant, let alone lose it. In his eyes, he has lost his virginity, and if he finds it, he will be beaten to death.His brother is white and a concubine, and the wife he married is not from a wealthy family. Even if he wanted to save him, he didn't have the guts to challenge Liu Yushi.

Is it really such a coincidence that all the girls who are not easily found are all girls who are not easy to find, or is there someone behind the scenes who are planning to promote it?

Moreover, these concubine girls may not be valued much at home, even if they are lost, they just want to look for them. In the end, if you are lucky, you will go to some people's house to be a maid. .

Ruan Qing: "..."

If the fist is hardened, the traffickers will die! ! !
