Hongshi's words not only shocked Junqing, but also shocked everyone outside Zhuzi.

A 12-year-old child understands the truth, who cares about them, and who can really do it.

They have been fighting for the throne all their lives, never thought about working for the welfare of the common people, and sometimes even used state affairs to plot against their brothers, never cared about the life and death of the common people.

As a royal, it is my responsibility to think about my country and its people.

It seems that in the last life, Yinzhen was the only one who thought about the people, did practical things, and cleaned up those corrupt officials.

Thinking of this, they turned their heads to look at Yinzhen, but Yinzhen didn't notice the other people's reaction at all, his eyes were tightly locked on Hongshi in the bead.

He never thought that Hongshi would be able to think of this level. It turned out that Hongshi and his thoughts had never run counter to each other, but he had never paid attention to him.

At the beginning, he was all focused on serving the people, thinking about making the people live a better life, and he was all on the throne and political affairs. He never paid attention to Hongshi, didn't pay attention to Hongshi's life, nor To pay attention to his thoughts.

It turned out that it wasn't that Hongshi was useless, but that he had never understood him before.

Yinzhen looked at Hongshi with eyes full of admiration, and his heart was full of pride.

I also look forward to seeing Hongshi's later experience in my heart. He is so good now, so the previous experience must be very special!

……

Hongshi and Junqing finally decided to go to the homes of the dead women to check the situation first, maybe there may be any clues.

In order to facilitate things and to speed up progress, Hongshi and Junqing acted separately, one of them went to the east of the city and the other to the north of the city.

After Hongshi and Junqing separated, they walked to the north of the city and found the first victim's house along the road introduced by Zhang Huaiyuan.

The daughter of the family was the first to go missing and the first to be found dead.

When he arrived at the door, Hongshi took a deep breath. Although he lived in the palace since he was a child, he had seen descriptions of those poor people in books. Although those descriptions shocked him, he never saw them with his own eyes. people shocked.

What is in front of me is a dirt house made of mud. The thatched grass on it is spread obliquely, and there are several big holes. The cracks washed by the rainy weather have spread on the already dilapidated house, adding a bit of dilapidation to it.

Such a house stands there, and it seems that it may collapse at any time.

Hongshi suppressed the shock in his heart, and walked in slowly. As soon as he arrived at the door, an elderly woman in tatters came out with a basin of sewage. Pour all the water on Hiroshi.

Fortunately, it was caught in time so that it didn't fall on Hongshi.

"Who are you looking for?"

The woman looked at Hongshi suspiciously. There had never been such a noble person in their family. The clothes alone were worth a lot of money, and the demeanor all over her body made her sure that this person was not simple.

Therefore, looking at Hongshi's eyes became more nervous, and his heart became more apprehensive. Could it be that he offended him at some point?

Their family was not rich in the first place, and they had already reached the point where they couldn't make ends meet. If something went wrong, they really couldn't hold on.

"Don't worry too much, ma'am. I'm from the yamen, and I'm here to inquire about your daughter Yulan."

Seeing the vigilance in the woman's eyes, Hong Shi quickly comforted her.

"Yu... Magnolia." The woman's wary eyes suddenly filled with tears.

Their family was also very poor before, but Yulan was their hope, with Yulan here, no matter how hard they worked, it was worth it, but now...

The old man has been sick since Yulan's accident, and she has to run the house by herself. Sometimes if it is not because of her own old man, she really wants to go with Yulan.

Seeing the woman with tears in her eyes, Hongshi felt very conflicted. Asking her to tell the story of her daughter again is undoubtedly adding salt to the other party's wounds, but if you don't ask, there will be more people were killed.

This is also understandable.

"Auntie, please give me your condolences. I think if Yulan knows, she won't want to see you in such pain."

The woman nodded as she cried, "I...I know, but I just can't help it. When I think of Magnolia, I can't stop it."

Hongshi frowned and comforted her a few words, then stood aside and waited for her to calm down a little, before continuing to ask: "Maybe you can tell me the whole story about Yulan?"

The woman nodded and invited Hongshi in. After Hongshi went in, she saw the sallow man spread out on the bed.

Seeing Hongshi coming in, the man looked at him with unfocused eyes, "Who is your Excellency?"

"My servant, Ai San, is from the yamen, here to inquire about your daughter Yulan."

After all, men are much more sensible than women. When they heard Hongshi's words, they were taken aback for a moment, and a look of pain flashed in their eyes, before they said:

"If the official doesn't mind, you can sit down and listen to the old man."

For the officials and lords who came from the county yamen, the old couple still showed face. Although the yamen couldn't solve the matter of their daughter, they were really good to the people.

The county magistrate came here several times in person to make arrangements for the old couple, but they kept their thoughts of their daughter here, and they didn't want to leave here no matter what.

The woman hurriedly pulled a tattered wooden stool from the side and placed it in front of Hongshi. Embarrassment flashed across her face after she pulled it out.

"Officer, I'm sorry, our family is on this condition, I hope you can forgive me!"

The woman grabbed the clothes on both sides anxiously with both hands, and a red cloud flashed across her face.

"It's okay, don't be too restrained, ma'am, you can sit down too, let's sit down and talk slowly."

The woman nodded and sat next to the man awkwardly.

The man glanced at Hongshi, and said slowly: "This matter has to start from years ago. At that time, it was the twelfth lunar month. When my daughter Yulan went out to buy new year's goods, she suddenly disappeared. My mother and I were worried. After looking for it for a long time, it was not until the early summer of this year that there was news of Magnolia.

When our couple passed by, Yulan had already...

Her face had no blood at all, she was extremely pale, and she became very thin. Her mother and I almost didn't recognize her. No wounds could be found on the body, this matter was too weird, and the county government couldn't handle it.There was no result for a long time. My mother and I ran to the yamen many times, but it was useless. My leg went to the yamen once, and it rained when I came back, so I accidentally broke it! "
