"Uncle Liu, He San said he is from Hejia Village. Do you know where this place is?" Su Liuye asked.
"Hejiacun?" Old man Liu thought for a moment and shook his head, "I'm not sure about this. Are there any mountains, rivers, etc. near Hejiacun?"
He San immediately said the name of a mountain.
Hearing this, Old Man Liu suddenly realized, "I know! Hejia Village is in Heping Town on the lower reaches of Lingjiang River. It's so far away from here! It takes half a month to travel by boat and waterway."
Su Liuye pursed her lower lip, her eyes filled with coldness.
Yu Xiangqin used to live in Qinghe Town. She thought the victims were only in the area near Qinghe Town. She didn't expect that there were children who were abducted and trafficked even in places so far away!
In a dynasty where communications were not widely available, these children were abducted so far away that they could not even recognize their way home. They probably would never have the chance to reunite with their relatives in this life.
"How abominable!"
She cursed in a low voice and asked, "Lianlian, you have been here for so long, have you seen Shi Feng and the others?"
"Not yet—hey, someone's riding over here!"
Qin Lian was about to shake her head and say she didn't see it, when she suddenly saw a few people galloping on horses outside the city gate. These people were in a hurry and rode directly into the city.
Horseback riding is not allowed in Luoxi Town, but these people have this privilege, and they are not ordinary people at first glance.
"Are they just here to find the little prince?" Qin Lian asked her in a low voice.
Su Liuye shook his head and looked at the direction they were going, which seemed to be the direction of the Yamen.
Will they go directly to the Yamen to find the prefect?
"Forget it, let's just wait here for Shi Feng to come over. We don't know the people from Liu Fushang's side." Su Liuye said, calling He San to the stall next to him and asking for some snacks. He San asked again about things related to Zuihua Tower.
It has been a long time since He San was brought to Zuihua Building, but he had been locked in the woodshed before and was only released for training in the past few days.
"Training?"
When Qin Lian heard this word, her expression turned ugly again.
She used to be in Qinghe Village and thought that people like her parents were evil enough, but she didn't expect that there were such scum in the town.
He San nodded and told them what he knew.
But after all, he had only been here for a few days, so he didn't know much.
There are two Zuihua Houses, one is a brothel and the other is Nanfeng Pavilion. The boss of both Zuihua Houses is Boss Luo, but He San has never met Boss Luo and only heard from a few stewards. Have heard of this name.
Su Liuye also knew that he had just arrived and didn't know much, so he didn't continue to ask questions and ordered him a bowl of noodle soup for him to eat first.
"Little lady, I think I saw someone with you!"
Old Man Liu had just taken the horse away from the inn. He originally wanted to take the horse out for a walk, but unexpectedly he saw Shi Feng.
Old man Liu was excited for a moment and ran back directly to talk to Su Liuye.
Su Liuye was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was doing, and she said in surprise, "You're really here?"
"Yeah, it's right outside!"
Su Liuye immediately followed Old Man Liu and ran outside the city gate. Sure enough, he saw several people on horseback coming from the official road, and one of them was really Shi Feng.
"Shi Feng!"
Qin Lian waved her hands excitedly.
"Over there!" Shi Feng heard Qin Lian's voice and quickly reined in the horse.
"Stop!" The man at the front shouted sharply, and the people behind him stopped immediately.
The other person's face was covered with a piece of black cloth, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.
Su Liuye took one look at him and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She had an intuition that this person was not easy to get along with. She pulled Qin Lian aside and walked to Shi Feng.
Qin Lian said, "Shi Feng, why are you here at this time! Yu Xiangqin has been here a long time ago, and the little prince is not on her carriage. He may have been sent to Zuihua Tower!"
"Where is Zuihua Building?"
It was the leading man on horseback who spoke.
When he heard this, he immediately got off the horse, his deep voice filled with majesty.
Su Liuye looked curiously, always feeling that this man's identity was not simple, and such sharp eyes were not something ordinary people could have.
"Zui, Zuihualou is a brothel in Luoxi Town." Qin Lian was startled by this person.
Hearing this answer, the man's aura became cold, and there was a chill in his tone, "Lead the way!"
As he said this, he grabbed Su Liuye's hand and led him onto the horse.
Su Liuye didn't even have time to exclaim. When she came to her senses, she was already sitting on the horse.
As soon as she spoke, Qin Lian's voice came from beside her. When she turned around, she saw that Qin Lian was also taken to the horse by the people following her. Even Old Man Liu and He San were taken away.
Su Liuye quickly realized that this person should be the person who was ordered to come over to the little prince.
She no longer thought about it and immediately gave them directions.
The horse rushed directly into Luoxi Town. She was so frightened that she tightened her body. It was the first time she rode a horse so fast. Her body was uncomfortable. From time to time, she could rub against the man behind her, whose strong muscles carried a burning body temperature. , through the clothes, it seemed to stick to her body.
Just when he was feeling uncomfortable, Su Liuye saw Zuihua Tower.
"it's here!"
Hearing her voice, the man behind him tightened the horse's rope, "Stop!"
With that said, the man got off his horse, and several people behind him immediately followed.
"is it here?"
During the inquiry, the man took off the black cloth on his face, revealing a handsome face.
Perhaps due to the long-term wind and frost, the man's skin was a little rough, but more masculine, which made Su Liuye stunned for a moment.
After coming back to her senses, her cheeks were slightly hot and she nodded immediately, "Yes, this is it! There is a woodshed in their backyard, which is used to imprison people! He San told me that the people who were just sent here will be imprisoned. Woodshed for a few days.”
Hearing her words, the man narrowed his eyes, and a sharp chill passed through his eyes.
"Go in and search!"
Following the order, the people following the man walked directly into Zuihua Building.
Soon, exclamations and yelling came from inside. It must be that the people in Zuihua Tower were resisting because they didn't know what was going on.
But the next second, several people with bruises and swollen faces were thrown out onto the street, scaring the passers-by into hiding.
Su Liuye felt a cold feeling on her back, and she couldn't help but ask, "Shi Feng, who is this person?"
"I don't know either." Shi Feng scratched his head, "It seems to be some kind of commander."
"I followed the shopkeeper's instructions and found the wealthy merchant Liu. I told them the whereabouts of the little prince, and they asked me to bring the commander over to find him."
Commander?
Su Liuye's eyes flickered. So, is this person from the palace? They must be the guards around the little prince.
No wonder he didn't take the officers and soldiers of Luoxi Town seriously at all and just rushed in.
