Prince of Prey's Little Ginseng Extract [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 144

"No."

The teenager looked at the child in front of him.

——It was the child he saved yesterday.

The child is white and clean, very cute, the dirty clothes on his body have been changed, the same high-quality materials, it can be seen that the family is either rich or expensive, the eyes are clear, there is no haze, it can be seen that no harm has been done, the young man is relieved Take a breath.

After sleeping for so long, the boy's voice became even hoarse. Jiang Ling brought him a glass of warm water: "Drink some water first."

The young man picked up the cup, his body tensed slightly, although he tried his best to hide the guard on his face, Jiang Ling still noticed it.

Jiang Ling could understand that it would be difficult for people who lived in that kind of place to survive if their guards were not strong.

"This is my Uncle Jiang, he saved you, brother, does your wound still hurt?"

An An took one brother at a time, with a soft and waxy voice, as if it could touch people's hearts.

The young man had never felt warmth before, and was looked at with concern by several people, and he pursed his lips a little uncomfortable.

The wound on his body was painful, but it was not unbearable. He thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect to wake up again.

"Thank you for saving me."

Jiang Ling reached out to touch the young man's forehead, the young man subconsciously wanted to hide, but resisted, Jiang Ling touched it.

The touch from his forehead was soft and soft. The young man had lived underground for many years, and most of the people he came into contact with were dirty and rough, unlike the people who appeared in front of him now.

Warm and not stained with dust.

Jiang Ling checked the temperature on Tanteen's forehead: "Fortunately, the fever didn't continue."

The Ninth Prince was very interested in the young man who saved An An from the hands of the thieves regardless of his own life. Seeing him awake, he leaned over and said, "You don't need to thank you. We should be thanking you for saving An An."

The young man talked very little and didn't take the initiative to ask questions, but An An, the young man was very excited after waking up, and talked to him a lot.

So, from An An's mouth, the boy knew his current situation.

After he fainted, he was brought up by An An's mother, and was rescued by Uncle Jiang whom An An said, saving his life.

"Brother, what's your name?" An An lay on the bedside, curious in her eyes, "You asked my name, but I don't know your name yet."

"I don't have a name."

The young man lowered his eyes. He is a person who lives in darkness, and seems to be out of tune with this bright world.

Unexpectedly, what he got was such an answer. An An was at a loss, and turned to Jiang Ling for help. Jiang Ling patted his head and looked at the young man: "Do you want to be An An's brother?"

An An suddenly forgot about the name, looking forward to looking at the boy: "Can I call you brother?"

"Okay, you can call him whatever you like." The boy had endless patience with An An.

As soon as Princess Shuhui came, she heard about the boy's waking up, so she hurried over to see him.

An An was talking to the boy, while Jiang Ling and the Ninth Prince sat aside, not disturbing the two children's exchange of feelings.

"Finally woke up."

The young man stared blankly at the young woman in luxurious clothes coming over and patted his head.

"This is mother," An An introduced to him, "Mother is very good."

The young man moved his lips, as if he could see what he wanted to say, Princess Shuhui said: "You rest at ease to recuperate, what's the matter, wait until the illness recovers."

In the end, he was seriously injured. The boy persisted for a while, then fell asleep again out of energy. An An was talking, and found that the boy suddenly closed his eyes, and was shocked: "Uncle Jiang, what's wrong with brother?"

Jiang Ling felt the boy's pulse.

"It's okay, he's asleep."

The Ninth Prince hugged An An: "Let's go out first and let the child have a good rest."

Several people went to another temporary place to stay.

Xiao Shengyun came back from the Ministry of Punishment, bringing him a chill, Jiang Ling brought him a cup of hot tea: "Your Highness, how is the situation?"

"The couple made a confession. They saw that An'an was young and good-looking, so they had evil intentions and took her away."

Princess Shuhui also went to the Ministry of Punishment today and personally participated in the interrogation.

This is not the first time that the couple has done this kind of thing. At first, they only dared to look for children who were alone, or the kind of children who were dressed in ordinary clothes and whose family background was very ordinary. Gradually, they tasted the sweetness and became more and more courageous. The older he got, the more he set his sights on children with a little family background.

"This time, they kidnapped five children in total, and An An was the last one. If you hand over these five children, you will get a huge reward."

"Where will these children be sold to?"

"They are only responsible for handing over the children to each other, and they don't know where these children will end up."

What Xiao Shengyun said has already simplified a lot of the truth. The attitude of the couple towards the child is the same as towards the goods. In the eyes of these people, the child is no longer a living person, but an item that can be exchanged for a large amount of money. .

According to the clues provided by the two, the Criminal Ministry sent someone to bring the other four children back.

These children had just gone missing, and the family members were in a hurry to find them. The government posted a notice asking the families of the lost children to claim the children.

The wife of the Shi family married her husband for ten years and had only one child. This child is intelligent and sensible, and he knows how to take care of the family at a young age. school.

The children are also up-to-date, and they are doing well in learning, which has won the favor of the master. Every time the master sees them, he says that this son will become a great weapon in the future.

Even though life was a little bit hard, the couple didn't feel anything was wrong until half a month ago, the child suddenly disappeared.

They searched everywhere, but found no trace of the child. The child was only seven years old, and it was impossible for him to get lost for no reason. As time passed, the couple realized that the child might have been abducted.

This kind of thing is not uncommon. The village next door lost a child in the first half of the year, and they haven't found it yet. The village is urging them to have another one. The child probably won't be found. The lady of the Shi family refuses to give up. No matter what, she I also want to get my child back.

"If we can't find it here, let's look elsewhere. We can always find it." The lady of the Shi family said.

"What about at home?"

"The chickens and ducks fed at home are sold as soon as they can be sold, and I can make some money. I will see if my second brother wants them in the field, and if I want them, I will give them a cheap price..."

The two were discussing a plan to sell their property to find a child, when there was a sudden knock on the door.

The lady of the Shi family stopped talking: "I'll go and have a look."

The door opened, and standing outside was the second younger brother who had just been mentioned. Before the lady of the Shi family could speak, the other party said eagerly: "Sister, the government has issued a notice, saying that those who have lost their children should go to the government. Go quickly. Maybe we can find out the whereabouts of my nephew."

It was so shocking that the lady of the Shi family forgot what she was going to say just now, and tightened her hand holding the door frame: "Is what you said true?"

"Sister, am I joking about this kind of thing? I just came over there, and someone has already gone, hurry up."

Of course the lady of the Shi family knew that the second brother would not joke about such things, she just...

I couldn't believe it when I got such news suddenly in despair.

The man came out when he heard the movement, and grabbed his wife's hand: "What are you waiting for, let's go!"

Regardless of whether the news is true or false, they have to make this trip.

What if it's true.

The haggard face suddenly became radiant, and there was hope in his eyes, and the second brother walked out with the two of them.

"You go by in my ox cart, it will be faster."

The two didn't shirk, now is not the time to shirk, no matter what the outcome of the matter, the second brother came here to tell them the kindness, they will always remember it.

After arriving at the government, the petty official asked them why they came, and learned that they had lost their children, and took them to another place.

It was the first time for the Shi family and his wife to come into contact with a big man who was an official, and they were extremely nervous.

The little official talked to them while walking: "You don't have to be nervous. Several families have already found their children today."

Child traffickers don't keep track of where each child comes from. What they tell them is only where the child was abducted. The government can't send the child back directly. It can only post notices and spread the news to the lost children. Children's places, let these parents claim it themselves.

The Shi family couple were taken to an empty house near the official residence, which was used by Xiao Shengyun to temporarily house the children.

Along the way, the Shi family and his wife figured out that they were able to find so many abducted children this time, thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Only a small number of children were found underground. They were "tolls". There is an exit in the underground passage leading to the outside of the capital.

According to the results of the interrogation, Xiao Shengyun sent people to retrieve many children. These children basically came from near the capital, and most of them were children of ordinary people.

The Shi family couple is one of them.

"Wait a minute, I'll report it." After the little official finished speaking, he walked towards the guard with a knife guarding outside the gate.

The lady of the Shi family stood there, rubbing her hands nervously, she didn't know if her child was inside, it was best if she was there, what would she do if she wasn't?

Those who have the last hope, dare not imagine what will happen to themselves when their hopes fail.

Soon, the little official came back: "Follow me, don't wander around after entering."

"Yes, my lord."

This house is not very eye-catching in the capital where rich and noble families gather. To the Shi family couple, it is the most luxurious place they have ever seen in their lifetime. The courtyard is also guarded by guards with knives. They dare not look around and follow closely The little official who leads the way.

"It's here."

A group of children are playing in the house, and those who sit quietly and do not participate in the play will be particularly conspicuous.

"It's Bao'er." In an instant, the lady of the Shi family burst into tears.

When the child was brought out, the lady of the Shi family didn't care about other things, she stepped forward and hugged the lost and recovered child tightly, crying uncontrollably.

It was not the first time for the little official to see such a scene, and at this moment, he still couldn't help the soreness in his eyes.

There are many like the Shi family couple.

With the in-depth investigation of the case, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple have dug up a huge industrial chain, and child trafficking is just an inconspicuous branch of this industrial chain.

They didn't dare to delay, and spread the news to the palace as quickly as possible.

At the same time, the dark guard handed over a secret letter to the prince.

After reading the letter, Xiao Shengyun lit it by candlelight and watched the letter turn into ashes little by little.

Jiang Ling walked in wearing a thick cloak, sniffing: "Your Highness, what are you burning?"

"Some insignificant things, why did Ling'er come here?"

"His Highness disappeared after taking a bath. Let me see what His Highness is doing behind my back." Jiang Ling stuffed herself into the man's arms, "Are these things more attractive than me?"
