It was very quiet in Dongnuange.

Kangxi sat high and high behind the imperial case, with his elbows propped on the table, staring at the audience with a blank expression.

Minister of the Ministry of Officials Kerkun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials Wang Yangchang, and Minister of the Ministry of Officials Kulana were standing below their heads in a state of uneasiness. They had no idea why the emperor suddenly called them.

Is there something wrong with the assessment by the Ministry of Officials?

Ke Erkun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, found that the smile on the emperor's face was restrained, and his expression became more and more dignified, his heart sank suddenly.However, this sudden call made him have no time to ask his subordinates, and he could only quickly calculate the recent events in his mind.

Kangxi's face was serious.

Most of his face was shrouded in shadows—Kangxi never expected that a southern tour would lead to so many important events.

Jin Hong, governor of Zhejiang, Qin Yun, governor of Hangzhou, and Yin Chuwen, deputy commander of the capital... Among the involved officials handed over by Prince Yinfeng, they were all excellent.

Ha ha!

Kangxi slapped the officials' examination on the table with his backhand.

Kerkun's eyelids twitched.

He fell to his knees almost the moment the table was slapped, holding his breath and waiting for the emperor to speak.

"Governor Jin Hong of Zhejiang, Governor of Hangzhou Qin Yun, Deputy Governor Yin Chuwen... and others have bribed for money, conspired with gangsters to kidnap and traffic women and children, the crown prince has already reported it to me." Kangxi said in a deep voice.

He threw the evaluation of the Ministry of Officials in front of Minister of the Ministry of Officials Kerkun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials Wang Yangchang, and Minister of the Ministry of Officials Kulena: "But you have a look-how did you judge this excellent? Huh? Who judged it? "

The cold sweat on the back of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Ker Kun, instantly seeped out.

He bit the bullet and replied: "Damn the slave, the slave will be re-examined."

Kangxi stared at Kerkun coldly for a long time.

Ke Erkun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stared straight at the ground, and the cold sweat instantly fell on the ground on his cheeks.

He felt infinitely terrified.

At this moment, the voice of the emperor rang in his ears: "I heard that you just took in two skinny horses from Jiangnan last month?"

Kangxi's voice was flat.

However, it fell into the ears of Kerkun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, like thunder. The blood on his face faded, and he knelt on the ground and trembled: "Slave...slave...slave..."

Kangxi ignored Kerkun's struggle.

His eyes shifted to Wang Yangchang and Kulena, the servants of the Ministry of Officials again: "What about you?"

The two had already been fighting with each other.

The moment Kangxi's voice fell, he also collapsed to the ground.They didn't have the courage to refute at all—from the appearance of Shangshu Keerkun, they knew that the general situation was over. Since the emperor investigated Shangshu Keerkun, why wouldn't he investigate them?

The two looked desperate.

There is only a clean plea: "The humble minister/slave deserves to die, please forgive me."

Kangxi has long been prepared.

As the saying goes, killing chickens to scare monkeys is nothing more than that.

On this side, Kangxi was busy rectifying the court.

On the other side, the three of Yinzhen were busy arranging a group of rescued girls.

The girls who were sold to human teeth by their families and then entered the Shouma Institute were either arranged to work in a newly built textile factory or a dairy factory, and very few chose to leave with money.

As for the kidnapped girl.

Fifty-six times out of ten, they found a family that matched their description in the previous report list—the three of Yinzhen, Prince Yinreng, and fourth elder brother Yinzhen discussed it and decided to send them home.

Qiqi girl is also one of them.

It's just that compared to the excitement and excitement of the others, she seemed extremely timid and inferior, and frequently asked to go directly to work in a dairy factory, and she didn't want to be rejected at all.

Yinzhen took her hand: "What if? What if your family didn't receive the letter at all? What if they were still expecting you to come home? What if something happened and they didn't have time came to find you?"

The qiqi girl was silent.

She looked at Yinzhen with a wry smile: "Brother Jiu... Minnv knows that you have good intentions, but... How much is the restriction on our daughter's family in this world? I'm afraid that my family is willing to let me go home... I don't know." I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'll be tired..."

The bleakness in the voice was nothing but that.

A woman's reputation is a matter of life, if the news that she was a skinny horse spreads, the family and clan will be shamed, and even family members will be implicated.

A trace of pity flashed in the fourth elder brother Yinzhen's eyes.

He stepped forward to hold Yinzhen: "Yinzhen, since Miss Qiqi wants to stay... forget it."

"I……"

"Yinzhen." The fourth elder brother Yinzhen interrupted Yinzhen's words, he looked at Miss Qiqi: "This is also Miss Qiqi's choice, we should respect her opinion."

"..." Yinzhen looked at the girl Qiqi who lowered her head, and finally agreed with Yinzhen's words.He dragged Yinzhen out of the yard, and kicked the pebbles on the ground sullenly: "Brother, I... just want to make any regrets? What if that person is telling lies... What if Miss Qiqi's family Have you been waiting for her to come back?"

Yinzhen reached out and patted Yinzhen's shoulder lightly.

He glanced back and sighed softly: "Unfortunately, things don't always happen, maybe it's just fate."

Yinzhen was dejected: "...Really."

The fourth elder brother Yinzhen sent Yinzhen back to the wing room, stayed at the door for a while, then turned around and walked into the courtyard where the girl Qiqi lived.

the next day.

When Yinzhen boarded the carriage going out of the city, she was surprised to find that Miss Qiqi was already sitting on the seat.Facing Yinzhen's shocked eyes, she tightly held the small package in her hand, lowered her eyelids, looked at the ground and murmured awkwardly: "...Minnv is just worried about her younger sisters and wants to accompany them home together."

Yinzhen's eyes shone brightly.

The haze between his brows dissipated completely, and he showed a bright smile to Miss Qiqi: "Yeah!"

The journey of finding relatives was surprisingly easy.

The uneasiness that had lingered in everyone's hearts disappeared in the excited shouts.

Seeing the children crying and throwing themselves into the arms of their parents, seeing the excited look of the couple hugging the children or bending over or kneeling to kowtow to thank, not to mention Yinzhen who was already grinning, but the calm Si Ah Brother Yinzhen, the corners of his mouth showed a slight arc, his whole heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, and his whole body felt warm.

The number of people in the carriage decreased again and again.

Once again boarding the carriage amidst the shouts of gratitude and thanks, Yinzhen jumped up and down in excitement and lay on the window: "Guarjia guard, who's next?"

Guard Guerjia flipped through the list in his hand.

He raised his eyebrows in surprise, and glanced at Miss Qiqi: "Master, there is still the last household left."

Yinzhen was slightly taken aback: "... hey."

Guerjia's guard said in a deep voice, "It's... Miss Qiqi's house."

Girl Qiqi clenched her palms on her knees into fists, trembling slightly.Looking at the experiences of the people around her, she undoubtedly had a glimmer of hope in her heart—maybe, maybe her parents didn't come to look for her, it was really... an accident?

Yinzhen was also anxious.

He took a deep breath, and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen silently held his sweaty palm: "...don't worry."

The three sat quietly in the carriage.

The carriage was driving very fast, and it took half a cup of tea to drive into a small town.Where have I seen such a luxurious and gorgeous carriage and so many guards and soldiers, just as the carriage and horses stopped, a group of people watching the excitement stood nearby, poking their heads and chirping.

Guerjia's guards got off their horses.

He bowed his hands to many villagers in a graceful manner: "Uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters-in-law, our group is entrusted to come here to find someone."

Guerjia's guards spoke clearly, behaved gracefully, and faced many villagers without any arrogance.

The rare and handsome young man instantly dispelled the resistance of many villagers, and soon the villagers came over, and an honest old woman in the lead asked cheerfully: "Brother, who are you looking for? How old is this year? Have you ever studied? Have you ever been married?"

Guard of Guarja: ...

He coughed to cover up, and quickly changed the subject: "We are looking for Xu Sanlang's family from East Second Village."

"...Xu Sanlang?"

"...Xu Sanlang from East Second Village?"

Surprisingly, as soon as Guerjia's bodyguard finished speaking, all the villagers in front of him changed their faces, and they gathered together to whisper to each other for a while, but no one came to inquire about Guerjia's personal affairs.

This particularly weird scene made the hearts of Yinzhen, the fourth elder brother Yinzhen and Miss Qiqi suddenly sink.Before they opened the window to speak, the old woman who spoke first asked hesitantly: "...What are you looking for him for?"

"His daughter... the government found it." Guerjia's guard hesitated for a moment, but said slowly.

The old woman exclaimed subconsciously: "Did you find Sanya?"

The girl Qiqi was shocked.

She slammed close to the car window, looking at the strange yet familiar face in front of her, countless memories that had been buried surged up all at once.Miss Qiqi couldn't control her emotions anymore, she pushed the door of the carriage, stumbled and ran down crying, "Xu... Aunt Xu?"

"Three Ya'er..." Mrs. Xu stared blankly at the beautiful girl who looked like a fairy, trying to connect her with the gray girl in her memory with difficulty.

Her lips twitched.

After a while, he wailed: "You child... why did you come back now—!"

"This is Sanya'er?"

"Three girls are back!"

The villagers around screamed in surprise, and with their shouts, many villagers appeared around, and they crowded together.Seeing this scene, Yinzhen and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen also had a faint smile on their faces, and they also got off the carriage together.

I haven't had time to talk to Miss Qiqi yet.

She looked around and said hesitantly, "Madam Xu... where are my parents?"

The place was silent.

Guerjia's guard was puzzled and at the same time had an ominous premonition: "Excuse me..."

"Xu Sanlang's family in Donger Village, three years ago, someone sent a letter to tell Sanya'er's whereabouts, and their family just... went out..." Mrs. Xu couldn't bear to avoid Miss Qiqi's gaze, her voice trembling Open your mouth.

"Since that day...they never came back."

The moment her words fell, the smiles on the faces of Yinzhen and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen disappeared.

The hearts of the two fell into the ice cellar in an instant.

They immediately thought of Miss Qiqi's crying complaints—someone sent a letter, but they themselves waited for three months, six months, and half a year without waiting for a reply, let alone seeing anyone.

What if... what if Miss Qiqi's parents hadn't given up on her?What if they set out to find Qiqi?Then...how come they didn't come back?

Thinking about those vicious gangsters who were kidnapped for the first time, Yinzhen didn't dare to think about it.He opened the window and said in a trembling voice, "Grandma...you...can you tell us where Xu Sanlang's house is?"

The farmers looked at each other.

Soon a group of people pointed the direction, surrounded the carriage and drove towards the village.

The mansion is dilapidated.

The two gates were half-closed, and the words on the door plaques were so mottled and blurred that the original words could not be seen clearly.Looking in through the gap between the gates, there are sundries scattered in the courtyard, the weeds are already half the height of a person, and the dilapidated and decayed doors and windows exude an unpleasant musty smell.

The person who led the way shook his head: "This is it."

How can the qiqi girl not remember home?In the corner, her father once held her in his arms and set off firecrackers, which scared the big white geese in the house next door and chased them for three miles.

She stretched out her cold hands and pushed open the door.

The door crashed down, leaving countless traces of family members in the dusty yard, but there were no traces of her two dearest and dearest.

The Qiqi girl crouched down on the ground.

She covered her face and cried heartbreakingly.
