Song Jiujiu made a random guess and actually guessed the truth.
She couldn't help but worry.
Ye Peizhu felt distressed and helpless. Jiuer was very smart and could not be fooled.
"Jiu'er, your father has sent powerful secret guards to protect your brothers.
They really will be fine. Look at you, you are so young, but your face is wrinkled from worrying so much.
Don't worry, they will be fine. Come on, let me take you to wash up."
Ye Peizhu tapped her daughter's little nose and carried her to the outer room.
Song Jiujiu was worried about her brothers and didn't react at all. Her mother's words seemed to be able to hear the worries in her heart.
Song Jiujiu knew that her fifth brother and brother Dong Zhuo had taken advantage of the situation to find out about the bad guys, so she stopped clamoring to see them.
But her worries only increased. She even prayed to her living father, God, in her heart before going to bed every day, hoping that she would not have any bad dreams about her fifth brother and brother Dong Zhuo.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. During this half month, the government officials searched for the missing children in the capital, but found no trace of them.
Every day when facing outsiders, King Kang deliberately pretended to be sad and upset about losing his son.
But when he returned home, he returned to normal.
Since Song Le'an and Dong Zhuo left, Lin Ye would send a pigeon message to tell him the situation every few days.
King Kang felt relieved when he learned that everything was going well for them.
That day, King Kang once again caught a skinny carrier pigeon by the window. He took out the letter and took a look at it, his expression looking a little unhappy.
Ye Peizhu noticed Prince Kang's expression and hurried over.
"Your Majesty, what does the letter say?"
Song Jiujiu, who was sitting on a small blanket playing with toys, raised his chubby face and pricked up his ears, waiting for his father to speak.
"Lin Ye said that after their recent investigation in Ancheng Bolefang, they discovered that human trafficking also existed in Ancheng Bolefang.
The situation is even more serious and arrogant than in the capital, because the government in Ancheng is colluding with the manager of Bolefang.
With the government in charge, Bolefang was in chaos. Commoners were lured into gambling and lost their fortunes. To make up for the losses, they had no choice but to stay in Bolefang and do odd jobs, or send their own children and those of their relatives to the gentle countryside to pay off their debts...”
Prince Kang explained in a serious tone, and Ye Peizhu and Song Jiujiu both looked unhappy.
"If there's collusion between officials and businessmen...it's indeed a bit difficult to deal with. If Lin Ye and the others continue to stay there to investigate, I'm afraid they'll alert the enemy.
Your Majesty, what about An'er and Zhuo'er?"
"Lin Ye has already asked other secret guards to escort them back. Lin Ye and several secret guards are still staying in Ancheng to investigate the collusion between Bolefang and the government."
King Kang couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, "This matter is a bit troublesome. If you don't know what happened, then you can do nothing.
But now that I know it, I can't ignore it.
Madam, what do you think your father would do if I reported the matter of Ancheng to him?
As soon as Prince Kang asked this question, Song Jiujiu started muttering in her heart without waiting for Ye Peizhu to answer.
What would the old emperor do? What could he do? At most, he would just do some superficial work and send someone to deal with the Ancheng incident. That would be it.
And the person he sent definitely couldn't be my father. After all, if the affairs of Ancheng were handled well, the people of Ancheng would be very grateful to the person who handled the matter.
This is undoubtedly a good opportunity to win the hearts of the people. The old emperor will never let my father win the hearts of the people again.
I think there is no need for Dad to tell the old emperor about this himself.
Aren’t Fifth Brother and Brother Dong Zhuo already on their way back to the capital?
When they come back, everyone will definitely wonder how they got back. Then my brother and the others can take the opportunity to tell them about what happened in Ancheng Bolefang and expose all the collusion between officials and businessmen and the dirty deeds there to the public!
It would be best if this matter could become a hot topic throughout the capital, arousing the anger and suspicion of the people.
After all, they are both Bolefang. Something dirty happened in the Bolefang in Ancheng, so the Bolefang in the capital city will not be very clean either.
Due to public resentment, the old emperor will definitely put on a show and have someone investigate Bolefang!
However, this matter will definitely alert the enemy.
I don’t know what my parents think, but I think I can give my idea a try.
It’s a pity that I can’t speak yet, otherwise I would definitely share my suggestions! 】
Song Jiujiu bared her little mouth and ground the few tiny teeth that had grown sporadically.
King Kang, who had listened to his daughter's thoughts thoroughly, exchanged glances with Ye Peizhu and went to the next room tacitly.
Song Jiujiu, who was thrown on the small blanket, looked at his parents leaving with a confused look on his face: "???"
[Dad and Mom, why did you leave like this? Where are you going? Why didn't you take me with you?]
Song Jiujiu panted and tried to crawl out using her hands and feet. Qiuyun hurried over and picked her up.
"My dear little lady, be good. The prince and princess have something to discuss. I will stay here to play with you."
Song Jiujiu puffed up her cheeks angrily.
Prince Kang and Ye Peizhu went to the next room and discussed it carefully. They adopted their daughter's suggestion, improved it a little, and planned to do so.
As for Lin Ye and others who are still staying in Ancheng to investigate, King Kang does not plan to let them come back immediately.
It's a good idea to investigate, maybe we can get some solid evidence to use in case of emergency.
King Kang immediately wrote a letter and gave it to a carrier pigeon to deliver it to Lin Ye.
The other letter was given to the secret guard, who was asked to find Song Le'an and Dong Zhuo on the road and ask them to do what was written in the letter.
The secret guard worked desperately on his journey, and only three days later, he returned with a handwritten letter from Song Le'an.
The letter was three pages long. After reading it carefully, Prince Kang's face was so gloomy that Ye Peizhu, who was standing beside him, felt a little scared.
Ye Peizhu walked over, picked up the first piece of letter and started reading it.
When she finished reading the letter, her face looked unhappy.
"Your Highness, who do you think this royal family member who collaborated with Fu Sen that An'er mentioned could be?"
Prince Kang's expression was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth, "There are only a few members of the royal family left in the capital, and you don't need to guess to know that it is Prince Ning!
I'm afraid that from the moment my seventh brother was persuaded to invest money in Bolefang, it was already a trap set by King Ning!
He knows that we have a good relationship with the Seventh Brother. If the Seventh Brother gets a taste of the sweetness, he might convince us to invest as well!"
Prince Kang took a deep breath and tried to calm down, "All I can think of is that Prince Ning did this in order to get us deeply involved and ruin us.
Or maybe when the time is right, he will expose the matter, and my seventh brother and I will be punished by our father.
But I always feel that with Prince Ning's methods, his purpose is probably far more than this."
