One of the passers-by

The person who came here was a marketer in Chang'an City. He was idle on weekdays, running around everywhere, and only liked to inquire about gossip about other people's houses.The news of the loss of the Twelve Princes in Pei's residence has been rumored in Chang'an, and this marketer has certainly heard of it, and knows a little bit tricky.However, the gang of kidnappers who can gain a foothold in Chang'an City is not easy, and ordinary people dare not talk too much even if they hear the news.That marketer wanted to take the opportunity to cling to Pei's mansion, but he was not sure that among the group of abducted children he knew was Mr. Pei's family.

It wasn't until the Pei Mansion filled Chang'an with the portraits of the Twelve Lords, that the marketer saw that the people painted on the portraits were exactly the same as the children he had seen before, so he was relieved.

Afterwards, the merchant didn't rush to the mansion to receive the reward, instead, he got three or four idlers who were friends with him on weekdays to stare at the den of the kidnappers.Only then did Shi Shiran go to Pei's mansion to report the news.

The matter involved the old master's favorite Twelve Langs, and the disciples of the Pei family did not dare to be careless, and immediately led him into the shackle room to wait. Ask in front of you.

The merchant knew that Pei Ji was in a hurry, and he was not verbose, so he explained in such a concise and concise manner, and then took out a small portrait drawn by Xue Yan from his bosom, and said flatly: "The villain dares to guarantee his life. A young gentleman is among them. Now my brothers are hiding outside the kidnapper's den to watch out for the movement of the gang. I also ask the Prime Minister to gather people and horses to go with me as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

Hearing this, Pei Ji didn't dislike the vulgarity of the marketer, so he quickly thanked him in a warm voice, and raised his voice to order the servants of Pei's mansion to go with the marketer.He also asked the general manager of the Pei Mansion to take his name card to Jingzhao Mansion to ask the soldiers to dispatch.

This matter is originally the responsibility of the Jingzhao Mansion, and it is also a credit to catch these gangsters, and it can please Pei Xiangye, so the Jingzhao Mansion is naturally willing to cooperate.

So when everyone in the Xue family heard the news again, the Twelve Lords of the Pei Mansion had already returned home safely.A dozen or so children of similar age were rescued together with Pei Twelve Lang, all of whom were abducted by this group of abductees during the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival when no one was looking.Originally, they wanted to send these children out of Chang'an that night, and then sell them to various state capitals.Unexpectedly, the Pei Mansion reacted quickly and immediately asked His Majesty to close the gate of the city. This group of people was detained in the city, and they were finally caught in the urn.

After the abducted child was rescued safely, the Jingzhao Mansion immediately sent people to post notices at the gates of Chang'an City and various squares, informing his family to come and identify him.At that time, there are those who recognize each other and have a family reunion, and there are also abducted children who are not happy in the space. In a few days, there are countless joys, sorrows and sorrows staged one after another, which makes people feel sad.

Xue Yan's pen and ink painting is indispensable for Pei's mansion to find Twelve Lords back so quickly.So on the second day when Pei Twelve Lang returned to the mansion, Pei Ji immediately sent his nephew and nephew to come to the door with a salute to thank him, and handed him a greeting card.On the third day, the old lady of the Pei family came to the door with her daughter-in-law and grandson to express her thanks in person.

It must be because he suffered a lot of fright and torture during the two days when he was abducted. Pei Twelve Lang, who was originally a bear, no longer had the lively and arrogant attitude he had during the Lantern Festival that day.Nestled beside Mrs. Pei lazily, a pair of small hands tightly held Mrs. Pei's clothes, and a look of panic flashed through her big eyes from time to time.

After seeing Xue Yan, Pei Twelve Lang looked at Xue Yan in a daze for a long time, and then said carefully: "I have seen you, and I bumped into you at the Lantern Festival that day."

Xue Yan smiled slightly, and Pei Twelve Lang continued: "I heard from Auntie and grandmother that it was you who drew my portrait and posted it everywhere, so that someone recognized me and came to my house to report the news. If it weren't for someone They won't be able to find me with your portrait. I will be kidnapped by a kidnapper and I will never see my family again. Brother Xue, thank you for saving my life."

Before the words were finished, Pei Twelve Lang got up and left the table, bowing to Xue Yan.

Xue Yan hurriedly stepped forward to support Pei Twelve Lang, while Princess Pingyang smiled and said, "Old Madam Pei is too polite. Since Prime Minister Pei asked His Majesty to close the city gate, those gangsters have become shackles and were caught. It's just a matter of time. Yan'er's small portrait of Danqing is just a matter of raising one's hand, and doing his best."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Pei leaned forward and said modestly: "That's the case. But Chang'an City is so big. If we really need to search every house, every mile, and every square, I really don't know how long it will take. Besides, Come on, asking His Majesty to close the city gate is only a temporary matter. If it is delayed for too long to cause people's resentment, it is not my original intention. I still want to thank Prince Xue and Duke Wei for their willingness to help, otherwise the night will be long and dreamy. Unpredictable."

Princess Pingyang saw that Mrs. Pei was a sensible person, so she no longer humbled her words.She glanced at Pei Twelve Lang who had been abducted for two days, and described him as thin. She smiled lightly and said, "No matter how you say it, it is a blessing that Twelve Lang Jun can return safely. It can be seen that this little man is very lucky." Fate is great. When you go out in the future, you must ask your followers to follow you."

For example, Xue Yan, who is already 14 years old after the new year, Princess Pingyang and Xue Ji have to hold Xue Yan's hand as much as possible when they go out, or follow behind them every step of the way.They were also terrified. "Children are the lives of their parents. If their lives are lost, this person will not be able to live."

Hearing this, Mrs. Pei still rubbed Pei Twelve Lang's neck with lingering fear, her eye circles were reddish and she said in shock: "Isn't that exactly what you said. Xiao Twelve grew up by my side since childhood, eating, sleeping, sitting and lying down." They are all with me, I just regard him as my lifeblood. If he really can't get back this time, I don't want to live anymore."

Before he could finish a sentence, he thanked Duke Wei's mansion and Xue Yan for their great kindness.Mrs. Pei even ordered her daughter-in-law and grandson to kowtow to Princess Pingyang and Xue Yan.Princess Pingyang and Xue Yan got up to avoid it, and helped them up.After a lot of tossing and sitting down again, Xue Yan looked at Pei Twelve Lang who was obediently curled up beside Mrs. Pei like a kitten, and ordered his maid to serve homemade fruit yoghurt candies.

Pei Shierang looked curiously at the various candies wrapped in exquisite sugar coating in the celadon butterfly, Princess Pingyang smiled and said: "This is the fruit yoghurt candy that Yan'er made in his spare time during the Chinese New Year. It is slightly smaller than the ones sold in the outside market Novelty."

Mrs. Pei also heard a little about the fact that the son of Xue's family was good at cooking, and learned from Pei Ji that the Duke of Wei's mansion offered sugar production methods and suggested that the imperial court specialize in it. Open a piece of candy.Seeing the bright red candy like pigeon blood lying quietly in the sugar coating, Princess Pingyang saw it and said with a smile, "This is pomegranate flavored."

Pei Twelve Lang put it in his mouth curiously, savoring it carefully.Mrs. Pei also twisted a piece casually, but it tasted like grape yogurt.All of a sudden, there was a sweet aftertaste in the mouth, Mrs. Pei's eyes lit up, and she praised: "It's really sweet, but also very milky and mellow. Everyone praises Xue Shizi for not getting tired of food, and it's true. "

Mrs. Pei was not the only one who said this, and Xue Yan's ears were almost numb from hearing it.Everyone doesn't care.On the contrary, Mrs. Pei saw that her youngest son liked the candy from Duke Wei's mansion very much, so she really wanted to ask for some.But because the relationship between the two is not close, I am embarrassed to announce it.

It was still Princess Pingyang who had a bright eye and a bright heart, and in front of everyone, ordered her maid to wrap some candy for Pei Shierang.Mrs. Pei had no choice but to make an apology for the trouble.

By the time of lunch, all the people in Pei's mansion had their meals at Duke Wei's mansion.The eldest princess of Pingyang had to show off a pot of pork and braised pork, as well as several other dishes created by Xue Yannian that meant good taste and good taste.Everyone in the Pei residence naturally praised it.Xinran finished his meal, had tea soup and snacks, and chatted for a while before getting up to leave.

When Xue Ji returned to the mansion in the evening, everyone couldn't help but mention Pei's visit to thank him again.Princess Pingyang sighed: "These kidnappers are the most hateful. They do all kinds of evil for a little money, but they have caused many families to lose their wives and families. I must find a way to deal with them so as to dispel the hatred in my heart."

Xue Ji, Duke of the State of Wei, thought of the heart-wrenching pain his family had suffered for more than ten years, and he also hated his teeth.

It's just that everyone is cursing in their mouths, but there is no good way to stop it.Gein has been abducting and trafficking human beings since ancient times.Da Chu's curfew is so strict, and Wei Guogong's and Pei Xiang's mansions are so powerful, especially during the New Year's Eve, tragedies cannot be avoided.What's more, other families who are not as good as Xue Pei's two mansions?

All we can do is to guard against the passing of time and alert ourselves.Other than that, they all have more than enough heart but not enough energy.

Just pity those ordinary people who have suffered bad luck.Neither the power of Pei's mansion nor the luck of Xue's mansion, the abducted children can only be sold to the north and south of the river like livestock.

And the gang of kidnappers arrested by Pei Shierang yesterday was just a small part of the ocean.

Xue Yan felt the same for everyone's indignation and powerlessness.Not to mention the lack of information, Da Chu, who has a vast territory, even a well-informed later generation, it is very difficult to fight abduction.It wasn't until the year before Xue Yan's crossing that the entertainment circle made many movies with this theme, and then used the convenience of the Internet to call on the public to participate as volunteers, and this matter made great progress.

But resignation to fate is not Xue Yan's character.Although he can't change Da Chu's current situation.But it's okay to try to give some suggestions.

"When my mother has nothing to do and enters the palace, she can also discuss this matter with the empress. Since the imperial court allowed the establishment of Anjifang, the role of Anjifang is naturally up to the queen and Auntie. In times of disaster, donate money and food for disaster relief. It is the responsibility of Anjifang, but the world is so big, a year is only four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, so there are so many famines. If so, you can also do some other good deeds on weekdays to help His Majesty."

"For example, the abduction and trafficking of children by a kidnapper. I am in Chang'an. Although I am beyond the reach of certain crimes. However, Anjifang can contribute money and efforts, and also create a document similar to the imperial palace newspaper, which travels around the state capitals. This document records The most important thing is the specific information of the lost children in various states in the world, and the rewards that can be received after finding the children. If anyone sees someone they know, they can send a letter to Anjifang, and Anjifang will notify the child when the time comes Parents to claim it. Of course, it would be even better if people in the local and state capitals could leak the news like Jinger in Chang'an, and cooperate with the government to catch those kidnappers."

After a pause, Xue Yan smiled again: "This matter can be entrusted to the students of prefectural schools and county schools in all states. Anyway, they don't have much to do besides studying seriously. Why don't they care about the suffering of the people's livelihood? You can also understand what you will do after entering the court as an official."

After hearing this, Princess Pingyang and Xue Ji were deeply convinced.Princess Pingyang said: "It's a pity that the written description is not as clear as seeing is believing. If everyone in the world can have Yan'er's wonderful brushwork, things will be easier to do."

Xue Yan smiled and said: "I was just thinking about it randomly, and I just said it casually. I don't know exactly what to do. I still have to discuss it carefully with the mother and the empress. I only hope that this action can explain the world a little bit. parents' worries."

At the end, he said with some worry: "I'm also afraid that some villains will profit from this and disturb the audience. At that time, we will try our best to do things with good intentions, but disturb the people and waste their money for nothing. That's not good."

Hearing this, Wei Guogong Xue Ji said disapprovingly: "Everything in the world is good if you don't do it. But if there is no one in the government and the opposition, how will your Majesty govern the world? Not much to say, we just need to ask our hearts It’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
