Fragrant willow catkins

They also found that there was a small shabby house not far from where they met Miss Luo, and several bodies were found inside, with the time of death being highly consistent with when they met Miss Luo. They also found out that there was an isolated village in the mountains, where a baby boy was lost two or three months ago, and it should be Xiao Luo.

After the two guards finished reporting the situation, He Lao looked at the seated Third Master. The Third Master was frowning. Losing a child was not a trivial matter, but drawing a mountain map was not a trivial matter either. Their team could only choose one of the two.

They could take Miss Luo and Xiao Luo to Qingcheng to complete the mountain map, but the journey was too long and Xiao Luo, a three-month-old baby, would suffer. Not to mention that if Miss Luo discovered the truth and ran away, raising Xiao Luo would be a responsibility for them.

If they wanted to send Miss Luo to the authorities immediately, they would have to take a detour to the nearest town, find out the whole story, and return Miss Luo to her biological parents in time.

It is now basically certain that Xiao Luo is the lost baby, but why Miss Luo stole the child is still a mystery.

Seeing that she is at the prime of her youth, a girl from an ordinary family would never think about raising children at her age. She hasn't even enjoyed the beautiful scenery and romance of Yonghe Continent yet, so how could she possibly steal a child to raise at the age of eighteen or nineteen?

Moreover, although he usually stayed in the carriage, he could see how much Miss Luo loved Xiao Luo, and he couldn't rashly throw Miss Luo into jail based on one-sided information.

Sad.

Between Shanxingtu and Xiaoluo, San Ye has to choose one.

Helpless, the Third Master sighed, "Give the order, we will take a detour to Linyang City first, stabilize Miss Luo on the way, and then send a team to invite the baby's parents to Linyang City. When the time comes, both parties will confront the government, find out the reason and settle Xiao Luo."

There is no way. Someone can be sent to draw the mountain map later, but Xiao Luo’s growth cannot wait. He should be raised by his loving parents.

He Lao also understood what the Third Master meant, and said to the guards, "Please take those corpses and the midwife from that day to Linyang City to serve as witnesses and evidence."

The guards nodded in response, bowed and retreated.

Mr. He told the students to go to bed early, then stood up and left.

Suddenly, the Third Master was the only one left in the tent.

He leaned back and stretched his body, staring blankly into the sky.

Time passed by little by little, and the Third Master thought that before he left, he had to do something useful for the Tianle Dynasty.

The Tianle Dynasty is vast and rich in resources, but only half of the land resources are known to be in use. Most of the land resources are unknown mountains and islands, and maps can only be drawn manually. In this regard, I wonder how much manpower and material resources have to be sacrificed.

During the day, although no one else was notified, the team's overall direction had changed. Since there were mountains all around, no one else could notice any changes.

I thought that with one more person to take care of the baby, Miss Luo's complexion would be better, but her face became more and more gloomy. Because she realized that this group of people had the ability to hire a wet nurse in the mountains, which meant that they could send her and her child out of the mountains. But why didn't they do that? What was their purpose in holding her back?

Or did they discover something?

As they went down the mountain road longer and longer and more and more people passed by, everyone realized that they should be close to the town. Several people in the Mo family were almost crying with joy. They finally finished the mountain road that took almost a month!

In Linyang City, a group of people checked into the inn in a grand manner. When Mo Xun was still feeling emotional about finally setting foot on the ground, Miss Luo came to their table holding little Luo.

Sitting at their table were San Ye, Ning Xu, Mo Xun, Mo Xiao and Mo Xi. San Ye and Ning Xu sat on one side. When Miss Luo came, San Ye didn't notice her and was still pouring tea for Ning Xu.

Miss Luo: "Thank you all for your hospitality. Now that we have arrived in the town, I will not bother you any more. I will say goodbye today."

Miss Luo bowed slightly, holding little Luo in her arms, and didn't think of taking anything with her.

Seeing that everyone had come to say goodbye, Mo Xun stood up and returned the greeting, and asked with concern, "Miss Luo, what are you going to do in the future? It's not easy for you orphans and widows to make a living, so take these silver coins first!"

Mo Xun took out his purse and handed it to Miss Luo.

Miss Luo was embarrassed and stepped back repeatedly, "How can I be so embarrassed? I have already troubled you enough, there is really no need."

After the Third Master took care of Ningxu, he looked up and saw this scene. He cleared his throat and said, "Miss Luo, you are unfamiliar with this place. We will rest in the inn for a few days. You can stay here first. It won't be too late to find a place to stay in the next few days."

Mo Xi was smiling as she looked at Mo Xun and Miss Luo, but she didn't expect that after Third Master said that, the corners of her mouth instantly drooped, causing Ning Xu to laugh.

Miss Luo was pretending to refuse at first. She really didn't expect that the Third Master would keep her, so she just stood there in a daze.

Mo Xun: "Yes, what Big Brother said makes sense! Miss Luo, you can live with us first, it will be safe and there will be someone to rely on! Someone, open a room for Miss Luo, make sure it is safe!"

After Mo Xun gave the order, several guards dressed as servants came to Miss Luo and led her upstairs.

Ningxu sipped her tea and teased Mo Xun, "You two are working together well."

Mo Xun took back the money bag and sat back down. "What do you want to cooperate with?"

Ningxu: "Aren't you cooperating with big brother to detain Miss Luo?"

Mo Xun: "Detain her? Why do you want to detain Miss Luo? Did she commit a crime?"

Looking at Mo Xun's silly look, Ning Xu was certain that these people really couldn't notice that there was something wrong with Miss Luo.

Third Master: "Whether he committed a crime or not, we will know tomorrow."

He stood up and helped Ningxu up, "Xiaoliu, let's go and accompany big brother to do some work."

The Third Master was lifting Ningxu's left hand as she was drinking tea. Ningxu hurriedly put down the cup and followed the Third Master happily.

The two walked out of the inn under the gaze of the three siblings of the Mo family, and the scene turned and they walked to the government office not far away.

The people sent by Mr. He arrived in Linyang City almost at the same time as them. Because the team did not take the mountain road, they were able to move faster.

In the yamen's side room, the Third Master and Ning Xu were sitting at the table, opposite them was Lord Wang from the government office, while Old He and a guard were sitting on the side.

Guard: "My Lord, the baby's family is a young master from a wealthy family in a certain city. The young lady of that family had hysteria. When she had an attack, she ran away from home and wandered to the village where she gave birth to Xiao Luo. She was eventually abducted by Miss Luo, and the people sent to look for her were also brutally killed by Miss Luo. The above is the confession of Young Master Xiao."

Third Master: "What do the villagers say?"

Guard: "The villagers said that the young lady had fled to the village, and she didn't seem to be sick. She lived happily in the village for more than ten days before giving birth. But on the day of the birth, Young Master Xiao found the village and threatened outside the delivery room, forcing the young lady to take the child home. After the child was born, there was no movement in the delivery room. When we went in, we found that the young lady was dead, and the two midwives had fainted on the ground. The windows and doors were wide open, and the child was gone."
