Chapter 97 Where did the missing child go?

After Lu Jinqiang was imprisoned, impeachment memorials against him flew onto the desk of the Yangxin Palace like snowflakes.

The victims who had been suppressed by the Lu family before and had no way to sue also united to file a complaint. All the bad things the Lu family did were filed and investigated one by one by the Ministry of Justice.

Sikong Yan personally gave an order to give justice to all the victims.

The Lu Mansion was raided, and all the people involved in the Lu family were imprisoned and executed in the autumn.

Lu Jinqiang, the fake number one scholar who had been an official in the court for thirty years, finally fell!

After Shen Qingyuan solved this big case from thirty years ago, Sikong Yan's imperial edict was sent directly to the Shen family, promoting Shen Qingyuan to the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

It was five days later that the Feiyan Palace received the news.

"My queen, I heard that our master was promoted to the position of Shangshu, how impressive!"

Under the shade of the tree, Shen Chaoyan pinched a grape and put it in her mouth, smiling, "I, your queen, have a supporter who is ten feet taller!"

She had the heavenly book in her hand and was the first one in the harem to receive the news.

However, seeing how excited Lugua was, the smile on her lips deepened.

"Yes!" Lugua put his hands on his waist and said proudly, "Your Majesty is right! We have a strong backer, and we can walk sideways in the harem in the future!"

"Are you a crab? And you walk sideways!" Shen Chaoyan got up from the imperial concubine's chair and stuffed the grapes in her hand into her mouth, "Let's go, the sun is not so scorching now, let's go for a walk."

"Okay!" Lugua responded, puffing up his cheeks and helping to bite the grapes, "So sweet, these grapes are so delicious!"

Before they walked far, Xiaoshouzi ran over and reported, "Your Majesty, Noble Xue is here!"

Since Shen Chaoyan heard about her brother and Xue Youran's secret love, she wanted to dig the tyrant's wall.

And Xue Youran liked her straightforward personality very much, and often brought various snacks to see her.

I guess he came here today to bring her some delicious food.

"Come on, Green Melon, let's go and greet Sister Xue!"

Shen Chaoyan hadn't walked far when she saw Xue Youran and her servant hurriedly coming towards them.

"Sister Shen!"

Shen Chaoyan saw Xue Youran frowning and looking anxious, so she quickened her pace to greet her, "Sister Xue, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Xue Youran frowned, "I shouldn't have come to bother you, but since it involves human life, I can't care so much!" Shen Chaoyan

held her hand, "Sister Xue, there's no need to be so formal between you and me, just tell me if you have any problems!"

Xue Youran didn't say anything more polite, and directly stated the source, "My uncle was just promoted to the Shang of the Ministry of Justice a few days ago. "I wonder if he has any missing child cases? I came to you for this case!"

Shen Chaoyan rarely pays attention to the cases of the Ministry of Justice nowadays. Hearing Xue Youran say this, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with this case?"

Xue Youran replied, "To be honest, three days ago, my aunt's family returned to Beijing to visit relatives. On the way, my nine-year-old cousin went to the toilet and disappeared. They searched for a long time but couldn't find her! Now the whole family is almost going crazy!"

"Have you reported it to the authorities?"

Xue Youran nodded. "I did, but after reporting it, I found out that children had gone missing in several towns not far from the capital! The government has been investigating, but there has been no progress! I thought that our capital is under the emperor's feet. If the case has been transferred to the Ministry of Justice, with a master of solving cases like Uncle Shen, I believe the missing children will be found soon."

Shen Chaoyan looked at her solemn expression and realized that the number of victims in this child missing case might be far more than those reported.

In her previous life, she had read many reports about human traffickers kidnapping children, and it seemed that human traffickers were even more rampant in the Great Xia Dynasty.

No, no matter what, we have to rescue the children first!

The longer the time drags on, the more dangerous those missing children will be!

[Heavenly Book, what kind of case is this? How many people are missing? Can you find out where the culprit is? 】

Heavenly Book: [Host, this Heavenly Book has checked. This missing case is not an ordinary child trafficking case. The victims are not only in the vicinity of the capital, but also in more than ten towns in Jiangnan. Nearly fifty or sixty children have disappeared. There are many people involved in the case, and there are also many victim families. However, everyone thinks that it was done by the beggars. Even though many people have reported to the police, the search direction is wrong, and no child has been found so far. 】

Shen Chaoyan was shocked: [If it was not done by the human traffickers? Then the power of the person behind the scenes must be not simple. You should check it out quickly. Who is the one who did this? What is the purpose of arresting so many children? 】

[Okay, let this Heavenly Book search carefully. 】

After a moment, a whole row of exclamation marks suddenly appeared on the heavenly book!!!

【Host, this matter is related to Sikong Yu. He is the mastermind of the missing children case! All the missing children are raised in a remote village outside the city.】

Shen Chaoyan was so angry that she cursed in her heart: 【Is Sikong Yu's grandson mentally ill? What does he want to do by kidnapping so many children and raising them? He... doesn't want to train these children to be assassins, right?】

She had watched many TV dramas and novels, in which the villains liked to recruit a large number of children, put them on an isolated island to kill each other, and the one or two children left at the end would become the top killers.

Could it be that Sikong Yu was going to train these children to be killers, and let them assassinate her and Sikong Yan in the future?

The more Shen Chaoyan analyzed, the more she felt that this possibility was very high.

However, Tianshu rejected her on the spot: [No, these children are tools used by Sikong Yu to win over the ministers in the court.]

Shen Chaoyan didn't understand: [What do you mean?]

Tianshu: [The oldest of these captured children is fourteen years old, and the youngest is four and a half years old. There are boys and girls among them. Of course, they don't want just any child. Each time the target is carefully selected. Not only must the child be good-looking, but also have a healthy body. Those beggars on the street, abandoned babies with disabilities at birth, don't even qualify to be abducted.

Sikong Yu raised them with good food and drink in order to provide them for the entertainment of the famous merchants and nobles in Daxia, so that the children could satisfy their various perverted demands.

In addition, many yamen runners and constables who had investigated the missing children disappeared mysteriously.

Shen Chaoyan looked at the lines of handwriting on the heavenly book and felt shocked.

Although she was just an entertainment reporter in her previous life, she had also been exposed to many shocking reports.

Previously, someone also used a lot of young children in order to gather the power of bigwigs from all walks of life.

History is always surprisingly similar.

Unexpectedly, she once again witnessed the darkest, cruelest and most disgusting cases in the world in this virtual world.

Sikong Yu wanted to catch the handles of the powerful and use them for his own purposes, so he created such a demon village, kidnapped children, and raised children.

However, what those people in the village did to the children was even more crazy than killing them!
