It turned out that it was because of this that Luo Lan suddenly felt that the little beggar in front of him was very pitiful. He was about the same age as An An, but he had to beg for food on the street. Was An An also living such a life at this time?
It turns out that poor people have no age distinction.
She lightly hooked her lower lip, sighed empathetically, patted his shoulder, and asked in a low voice:
"Why are you asking for food? Where are your parents?"
The little beggar shook his head,
"I don't know, I don't know where they are."
"Then what's your name?"
The little beggar still shook his head.
"I don't know either. Others call me little beggar. I don't have a name."
The words of the little beggar made Luo Lan's heart ache. According to the couple in Fanjiatun, An An also lost his memory. Could An An be hiding somewhere like this little beggar and being a beggar at this time? Don’t you even know who you are or where your parents are?
She sighed sadly,
"What a poor child, just like my An An."
After saying this, she turned back to A Cai and said:
"Give him a little more money and let him find a safe place to sleep!"
If it were normal times, she would definitely help this little beggar find his parents, but now her mind is full of An An and she has no intention of caring about others.
The moment she stood up, the little beggar suddenly shouted:
"Sister, your daughter's name is An An?"
Luo Lan looked back at him and nodded,
"Well, her name is An An. She is probably about the same age as you. She probably doesn't remember who her parents are..."
At this point, her eyes began to turn red.
The little beggar suddenly stood up from the ground, stretched his neck and said:
"I think I've seen her before. Does she have big eyes? She also has two pigtails..."
Hearing what he said, Luo Lan looked back at him happily, put her hands on his shoulders again, and asked urgently:
"Tell sister, where did you see An An?"
The little beggar raised his head, pondered for a while, and said loudly:
"She was taken away by people from Yuhongyuan, right at the intersection in front..."
The little beggar's words made Luo Lan feel excited for a moment. She quickly took the little beggar's hand and said anxiously:
"Take me to Yuhongyuan. If you can find An An, I will definitely give you a good place to stay."
"Really?"
The little beggar followed her forward and asked with a longing tone,
"Sister, I will help you find your daughter, can you help me find my family?"
"Okay, sister will help you."
They were walking along the street, and when they were near Yuhongyuan, the little beggar suddenly tightened Luo Lan's hand and stopped.
"etc……"
"What's wrong?"
Luo Lan looked at him puzzled, "Why don't you leave?"
The little beggar shook his head in horror.
"Sister, are you from Beijing? You don't know much about the situation in Yancheng. During the day, I saw the streets full of people from Beijing. They also went to Yuhongyuan to search, but nothing was found. If I hadn't You guessed it wrong, Sister Hong must have hidden your daughter. Therefore, if we look for it rashly, we will definitely not find it. Besides, there are dozens of thugs in Yuhongyuan. The few of us who go in will not be caught. It would be weird to beat it into a pulp."
The little beggar's words reminded Luo Lan, yes, a large number of officers and soldiers went looking for him but couldn't find him. A few of them went there, but if the other party didn't want them to find him, they still couldn't find him.
So, she calmed down and asked again:
"Tell me what you know about Yuhongyuan, and I will think about what to do."
The little beggar thought for a while and began to introduce,
"The proprietress of Yuhongyuan is called Sister Hong. She is very tough backstage in Yancheng. No one dares to mess with her. If I didn't think you have a good face, sister, I wouldn't dare to tell you this even to death."
Having said this, he paused and continued:
"She often walks around the street. When she sees a good-looking girl, she will spend a lot of money to buy her back and work for her. If the girl refuses, she will try to force her to do it. If it is easy, she will just throw down the money and rob her. If it is too heavy, she will just throw away the money and rob her. The woman’s family beat her to a semi-crippling state, then left her money and asked them to treat their injuries, but she would still take the person away. Her background was really tough. In Yancheng, even if she killed someone, the government officials would not care about her. , so that day, she took your daughter away in broad daylight. No one dared to speak out about it. Everyone was afraid of her revenge..."
The little beggar's words made Luo Lan's heart suddenly pick up in her throat. She never expected that such a thing would happen in the small Yancheng.
Ah Cai shook her sleeves angrily and said bitterly:
"I will go back and inform the prince now, and ask him to send someone to take care of this lair in Yuhongyuan."
"No..."
Luo Lan raised his hand to stop her and said in a deep voice:
"If it is true as the little beggar said, we really need to discuss this matter in the long run. Ah Cai, go and inform the prince and take Xiao Lingzi and the four of them to Yuhongyuan to meet us. Don't make any noise or be alarmed. After catching the snake, Ah Hong and I will go there to take a look first."
"Princess, you can't go, it's too dangerous. Let's go together when the prince and others arrive."
Luo Lan looked firmly in the direction of Yuhongyuan, clenched his fists and said bitterly:
"For An'an, I have to go through all kinds of dangers and fires. Besides, we made such a big noise during the day. The people in Yuhongyuan must be frightened now. It's hard to guarantee that these people won't move An'an away. We must prevent this from happening."
A Hong also nodded, "The princess is right. The people in Yuhongyuan would never have thought that they would bring the second young lady of Prince Yu's Mansion back to Yuhongyuan, and now An'an has become a hot potato in their hands." , they want to let go but don’t dare to let go, want to stay but don’t dare to stay, so they will definitely try their best to take An An away from here like the princess said."
The little beggar rubbed his nose and said again:
"I heard from others that it seems impossible for women who entered Yuhongyuan to come out harmoniously. In the past, women who were brought into Yuhongyuan would be starved for three days if they disobeyed. If they don't obey, they will be beaten half to death and then sent to other countries. As for what they will do, I don't know, but I heard that they will never come back, so these women will be obedient after they go there. Be obedient, no one dares to disobey that Sister Hong’s order..."
Listening to the little beggar's words, Luo Lan's eyes sank slightly, and her worry about An An increased a little more.
She said quietly with a solemn face:
"Ah Cai, go inform the prince. Ah Hong, you go and guard the front door. I'll go to the back door. If I see someone suspicious coming out, I will find a way to hold him back until the prince comes to rescue him."
"princess……"
Ah Cai wanted to say something else, but Luo Lan suddenly raised his voice and loudly ordered:
"Do as I say."
"Yes, Princess."
Seeing that Luo Lan's tone was a little stiff, Ah Hong and Ah Hong didn't dare to say anything more, and they all did as she said.
Luo Lan held the little beggar's hand and whispered:
"You will follow me in a moment, and we will go to the back entrance of Yuhongyuan."
"Okay, I know where it is. I'll take you there. I've been all over the streets and alleys of Yancheng. Just tell me where you want to go."
Luo Lan nodded, held the little beggar's hand, and headed towards the back door of Yuhongyuan anxiously and impatiently.
