"And the palace built specifically for you is actually just a cover. Yang Kaiguang used the excuse of building the palace to levy taxes on the local people. The local squires are not bad, they have a lot of money, and they are even willing to

Pay more money just to be able to show up in front of His Highness the Crown Prince in the future. What's pitiful are the poor people. They can't afford the money, so they can only work as coolies, helping to build the palace day and night, and they are exhausted.

people."

…

Nie Changping talked a lot about Magistrate Yang in one breath.

Most of them he heard from the people, and a few of them were overheard last night by two guards he had lurking in the county government office.

After a long time, Luo Qinghan finally said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about Magistrate Yang for the time being. I will take care of him later and find out the whereabouts of the missing children first."

Having said this, he turned to look at Xiao Xixi and asked, "Can you figure out where those children are going?"

Xiao Xixi said: "I need their birthdays and horoscopes."

Luo Qinghan asked Nie Changping to find out the birth dates of those children.

Nie Changping had already learned Xiao Xi's calculation skills yesterday, so he accepted the task without saying anything and left.

Nie Changping didn't come back until the afternoon.

He placed a piece of paper in front of Xiao Xixi with birth dates and names written on it.

"I can only ask so much. The parents of several children have fainted from crying and are still unconscious. Even if I want to ask, I can't ask anything."

Xiao Xixi said: "This much is enough."

She scanned these birth dates at a glance. They were all half-grown children between the ages of eight and twelve, both male and female.

She closed her eyes and began to calculate silently in her mind.

Cold, hungry, panic, helpless...

Countless negative emotions surged forward, suffocating Xiao Xixi's heart.

She raised her hands to rest on the table, her face turned slightly pale.

Luo Qinghan was sitting next to her. Seeing her like this, he took the initiative to raise his hand, put his arm around her shoulders, and asked her to lean against him.

When Nie Changping saw this, he couldn't help but clicked his tongue. The prince really loved this little eunuch!

Xiao Xixi leaned against the prince, and it took a while to recover from those negative emotions. She said softly: "Those children were kept in a dark place with no windows and the surroundings were very cold. That place is located in the southeast

The direction is three miles away from us."

Luo Qinghan looked at Nie Changping.

The latter immediately said: "I'll go check it out right away."

Nie Changping left in a hurry with his guards.

Luo Qinghan thought over what Xiao Xixi had just said in his mind, and when he lowered his head to look at her, he saw that she had fallen asleep leaning on him.

Her face was still a little pale, but her eyebrows had relaxed and she looked like she was sleeping soundly.

this moment.

It seems as if the hustle and bustle of the world has faded away.

His heart was extremely peaceful.

Dong Dong.

There was a knock on the door.

Xiao Nan's voice came through the door.

"Master."

Luo Qinghan: "Come in."

Xiao Nan and Xing'er walked in one after the other.

Myolie stopped crying, but her eyes were still red.

She wanted to speak, but when she saw Xiao Xixi sleeping, she suddenly didn't dare to speak. She was afraid of disturbing the other person's sleep.

Luo Qinghan said calmly: "You can tell her what you want, but she won't wake up."

Xing'er then spoke carefully, her voice was hoarse.
