A look flashed in Prince Jin's eyes, and he suppressed his guilty conscience. He didn't expect that Xiao Ruoyi knew his purpose.
However, in order to get Xiao Ruoyi's talisman, I have no choice but to be shameless!
King Jin smiled and thanked him, "Hehe, thank you very much, Yiyi!"
Xiao Ruoyi looked at the box in her arms and asked in a baby voice, "Then the emperor's uncle won't take the jade in here, right?"
"No, no!" Prince Jin no longer felt the heartache he had just felt, and quickly smiled and waved his hands.
"Hey, that's good!"
Xiao Ruoyi laughed happily, and felt even more proud in her heart, [Humph, this is not considered as getting something for nothing! After all, the talisman of this Heavenly Master is priceless! ]
Prince Jin was still smiling, pretending not to hear Xiao Ruoyi's thoughts. It really wasn't like getting something for nothing!
This guy who gets something for nothing seems to be him!
Looking at Xiao Ruoyi working so hard to draw the talisman, although this is not very fair, in order to make up for his loss and comfort his soul, he can only let his little niece work hard for a while!
...
...
The arrest outside was in full swing. Throughout the whole day, the guards were almost entirely under the help of Xiao Ruoyi to arrest the human traffickers.
At a faster speed than ever before and with lightning speed, all the human traffickers' dens were wiped out in one fell swoop, and there were almost no ones left.
This is also because they are too fast, and it is impossible to catch them by people who have contact or cooperation with them, resulting in the human traffickers in these dens being caught before they can react.
The prison cells in the entire Jingzhao Prefecture were suddenly filled to the brim.
Similarly, at the end of the day, with the support of the jade, Xiao Ruoyi drew a lot of tracking symbols, and drew more than ten of them on and off, and also spent most of the jade sent by King Jin.
Xiao Ruoyi sent these tracking symbols out and asked the Royal Guards to interrogate the captured people and find out the things used by the most important human traffickers. They could then be arrested using the tracking symbols. This would save time and effort and could also help dismantle the human traffickers' dens.
Xiao Ruoyi was busy outside, and the concubines in the palace were also discussing something in full swing, and they were discussing her affairs.
"The Emperor is going to confer the title of Princess Xiao Ruoyi?"
"Isn't this normal? After all, she came out of the cold palace and hasn't been sealed yet!"
"But I heard that the emperor attaches great importance to this enthronement ceremony!"
"How much can it be taken seriously?"
"Anyway, the list of gifts for the enthronement ceremony can rival that of the eldest princess!"
"What? Princess? This... isn't this against etiquette?"
"What exactly does the emperor want to do? How do you want to confer the title of Emperor Xiao Ruoyi?"
"Who knows! I also heard about it from the Ministry of Rites!"
"It's not certain that this princess can be crowned! Just wait and see!"
"I think so too! Not only is it against etiquette, but the Queen Mother is still here! She will definitely disagree!"
The concubines are all pessimistic about what Emperor Donglin has done and are ready to watch the show!
Outside the palace, as Xiao Ruoyi found more and more human traffickers' dens, and as there were many children imprisoned in those dens, many children were rescued.
The entire Jingzhao Prefecture was filled with human traffickers and children, which made Prefect Yan feel overwhelmed.
Especially the young children who only knew how to cry loudly. Once one of them started crying, the other children would start crying too. The whole Jingzhao Prefecture was filled with the cries of children. Prefect Yan felt as if his head was about to be lifted off.
Prefect Yan really couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurried to find Prince Jin and Xiao Ruoyi, hoping that they could give him some advice.
"Your Highness, Little Princess, all the human traffickers that should be arrested have been arrested! The children captured by the traffickers have been rescued to Jingzhao Prefecture. Now the government office is filled with these children and is almost full!"
King Jin was slightly surprised when he heard this. "So many?"
"Yes, there are at least ten people in almost every den. Some dens have as many as thirty or forty people in their small basements. They were just sent here from other places! We haven't counted them all yet, but I estimate that there are at least four or five hundred people!"
King Jin couldn't help but gasp, "There are so many!"
Xiao Ruoyi was not surprised at all, this was still considered a small amount.
She had no idea how many human trafficking dens she had busted in her previous life. How could the total number of children be tens of thousands?
Prefect Yan nodded and sighed helplessly, "So, I came here to ask the prince and the little princess, what arrangements should be made for those children now? After all, my government office is not for them to live in!"
"Indeed!" King Jin nodded, "Then did the notice you posted work? Did the child get taken away?
"Only a small number of people have been claimed, and there is still no news about the vast majority! Just now, I said that so many children in one den were sent here from other places!" Yan Fuyin sighed, with a look of regret on his face, "Some children should have been sent here from other places, and they are planning to choose a seller in the near future, so their relatives don't know about them, and they are temporarily treated as orphans!"
The King of Jin sighed and asked Prefect Yan in dissatisfaction, "Don't they remember where they are from?"
Prefect Yan sighed helplessly, "Most of them are under ten years old, and some are still in their cradles. They don't even know what city they are in. At most, they only know a rough idea!"
Prince Jin was immediately overwhelmed and scratched his head, "That's troublesome! So many children have been in Jingzhao Prefecture all this time!"
Because of this, the traffickers only target children.
Those who are a little older will try their best to return to their homes. Only the children who are easy to deceive are difficult to find.
Although some have been sold, those children were illegally bought and sold after all and could be confiscated.
As long as the child does not want to stay in that family, the government can rescue the child by force.
So, almost all the children that were sold were not in good condition and were brought back.
But with so many children at once, there is no place for them to rest in the government office.
Xiao Ruoyi frowned, "This won't work!"
"Yes, where these children will go is a problem!" Prince Jin nodded, and he also became conflicted.
Xiao Ruoyi rolled her eyes and said, "Then let's build an orphanage first, so that those children can at least have a place to live in peace!"
"An orphanage?"
Prefect Yan and Prince Jin both stared at Xiao Ruoyi in surprise.
"Yes!" Xiao Ruoyi nodded, "It can be considered a good deed! This time we arrested those human traffickers, followed the clues, and rescued those children, not just a few! It's just right to set up an orphanage! I can tell you the hometowns of some children through their faces! You just need to send someone back to check!"
