The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

Jing Muyang and the Fourth Prince are strictly investigating the abducted children in the capital. Just looking at the transaction records, there are those who were abducted from other places through the human market, some who were trafficked privately, those in orphanages, and even beggars who were snatched from the streets in broad daylight. There are hundreds of people who were sold to various places or private homes.

Everyone must be confirmed to be in place and their lives must be checked. Some people are lucky and are not treated harshly. They are willing to continue staying in the host's home, and they generally respect their own choices.

It is difficult to find those who were abused. Anyway, not all of those written in the account books have been found. Many of them have disappeared, so they must have died.

Many wealthy young men and owners of romantic buildings were arrested. Those with relatively minor offenses were released and compensated, while those with serious offenses were convicted. However, most of the buyers did not know that their slaves were abducted. After all, in their minds, as long as they bought slaves, they had the power of life and death. Therefore, it was impossible to punish them for serious crimes. At most, they would be imprisoned for half a year or given dozens of beatings in court as a warning.

During this process, many victims felt ashamed to return home, or had already accepted that kind of life and were unwilling to stand up, which made it very difficult for Jing Muyang.

On this day, not long after Jing Muyang went out, a child came to Prince Zhan's mansion. The gatekeeper had been instructed by the princess that any child who came to visit should be let in, so he led him into the mansion.

Chu Jian was reading a book and dispensing medicine in the pharmacy. Although there had been no news from Mr. Fang Lin since he passed away, she studied the medical books he left behind every day, and would study them with the court physician. If she didn't understand something, she would go to Dean He for help. Her and the court physician's medical skills had greatly improved, and even Yao Tong and Jin Xiang had become experts.

"Princess, Princess Zhan! Please save my sister!"

When I first saw him, I heard anxious shouts from outside before I even saw him. When I looked up, I saw the boy from that day. His face was covered in tears and his body was extremely dirty. He was kneeling outside the door and kowtowing in the mud under his feet.

"What's wrong?" Chu Jian hurriedly went up to him and pulled him into the house. His hands were cold and his shoes and pants were wet. "Uncle Quan, find him some clean clothes and shoes first. Hurry up, Jinxiang, go get some ginger and sugar water. Qinglin, come over here and take off his wet clothes and wrap him up on the couch."

"Princess, I don't need it. Go save my sister first. My sister is dying!" The boy broke free from her hand and knelt on the ground again, kowtowed repeatedly, "Princess, please! Please!"

"Okay, okay, get up first. We don't need to rush. You need to change these cold and wet clothes. If you get sick too, who will take care of your sister? Tell me while you change. What's wrong with your sister?"

"My sister is sick and has had a high fever for three or four days. The medicine hasn't helped..." The boy stopped struggling and let Qinglin do whatever he wanted. The housekeeper Liu Quan also quickly brought clothes and changed him in no time.

"She's had a high fever for three or four days? Can you tell me what other symptoms she has?" Chu Jian's heart sank for a moment. He was afraid that she might get burned out if she had a high fever for so long.

"At first she had a slight fever, then she started to cough and couldn't take medicine. She didn't wake up after falling asleep last night. I couldn't wake her up even if I shook her. I thought she looked like she was in a coma."

The boy was almost dying of anxiety. There were no adults in his family and his only relative was his sister. If his sister was gone too, he would really be homeless.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll go with you and see if there's a way." Chu Jian went to the counter and wrote a prescription, took some medicine, and put several bottles in her pocket. She came out and pulled him along, "Let's go."

"Princess!" Qinglin called her, and Qingye also stopped in front of her, "Princess, the prince has told you that it is not safe outside, so you should try not to leave the house. I can send the child and the medicine over."

"Yes, Princess, the west side of the city is very chaotic." Jin Xiang was also very worried.

"No, I have to go over and take a look at the details." Chu Jian rejected them without even thinking about it. "Jin Xiang, you stay at home and get ten doses of medicine according to the prescription I just wrote. Then ask someone from the mansion to send it over. Qing Lin and Qing Ye, you two come with me. Don't waste time, let's go!"

Chu Jian pulled the boy out in a hurry. They didn't take a carriage but rode horses directly. The cold wind was very biting and soon their faces turned red.

The west of the capital is a mixed area, where some lower-class people live all year round, as well as some people who come to Beijing to live temporarily. The population mobility is relatively large and difficult to manage, so this area is indeed quite chaotic.

The boy lived in Liujia Alley at the very edge. The houses here were relatively primitive and a bit far from the main road. It was like a separate village. There were quite a few houses, probably dozens of families. Most of the courtyards had two or three mud houses next to each other, with only narrow alleys in between.

Chu Jian followed him inside and didn't go too far into his house. The house was extremely simple. A little girl was lying on the bed with a flushed face, trembling constantly.

High fever convulsions!

"Qingye, bring a basin of cold water. Qinglin, go and boil the medicine you brought."

Chu Jian immediately stepped forward and gave the little girl a bottle of antipyretic medicine. Her body was extremely hot, probably over 40 degrees, so she had to cool down first.

Chu Jian lifted her quilt and undressed her, wrung out a cold towel and wiped her body continuously, and asked Qingye to help her.

By the time Qinglin had finished boiling the medicine and came over, the little girl had already sunk down a little and was lying down again. She had also woken up, but she was coughing the whole time.

It took a lot of effort for Chu Jian to get her to drink the small bowl of medicine. The little girl should have pneumonia caused by a viral or bacterial infection, and it would probably take several days to get better.

"Boy, your sister is seriously ill. Can you take her and your sister to the palace?" The room was freezing cold, which was not conducive to the patient's recovery.

"My name is Liu Yunfei, and my sister is Liu Yunxia." The boy knelt on the ground, "Princess Zhan, my sister is seriously ill. We can't go to the palace. It's unlucky."

"It's okay, sister doesn't believe these, just come back with me." Chu Jian pulled him up and motioned Qingye to hug the little girl.

But as soon as they walked out of the house, they saw a lot of people gathered outside the yard, many of them coughing.

The houses here are close to each other and the walls are low. A distinguished guest came to Liu Yunfei's house and boiled some medicine. The key point is that the unconscious girl woke up, which shocked them greatly. Many people came over, and when they first saw them, they saw more people on the way.

"Girl, please be kind and save us too!" The few people who were closer were already trying to pull at the gate.

Chu Jian frowned. The dozen or so people outside and the group coming over later were all sick and coughing non-stop. Could it be that it was a highly contagious disease?

"Go back to the house and put on the veil!" Chu Jian saw that she was always wearing a veil, but Qinglin and Qingye were not. Qingye immediately turned around and went back into the house, putting the little girl down and letting Liu Yunfei take care of her.

"Fellow villagers, don't be anxious. I'm very scared of you now. If you really want me to treat you, then line up and I will treat you one by one."

Chu Jian looked around and said, "Call the person in charge here and arrange a more spacious place for us."
