Chapter 98 What secrets are hidden in this village!

Seeing that Shen Chaoyan was slow to speak, Xue Youran thought that her request had embarrassed her, and said apologetically, "Sister Shen, I know that the previous dynasty is busy cleaning up the mess left by Lu Xiang's family. I shouldn't have bothered you at this time.

However, the longer the time goes, the more dangerous I worry my cousin and the missing children will be! So, can you ask Uncle Shen to help and assign some manpower to investigate this case?"

"Sister Xue, you are being too polite!"

Shen Chaoyan thought of the real whereabouts of those children, and her eyes became a little serious. "But according to your description, I'm afraid the disappearance of the children is not that simple. I have to go to the Yangxin Palace to see the emperor. It would be best if he came forward and assigned the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple to jointly investigate, so that the results can be obtained faster!"

As for how to tell Sikong Yan about this, she still had to think about it carefully.

Xue Youran was moved and said, "Thank you, Sister Shen!"

"Sister Xue, don't be polite with me! Human life is at stake. I will go to the emperor now and test his attitude first."

Yangxin Palace.

Sikong Yan looked at the mountain of memorials at hand, raised his hand and pressed his brow.

Although Lu Jinqiang has been imprisoned, those officials who had been protected by him and committed crimes are still at large.

Those who used to be jealous of Lu Jinqiang wrote memorials to state their grievances as soon as he fell.

In the past few days, he has dealt with more than a hundred memorials related to Lu Jinqiang.

The most urgent and important unjust and wrong cases have been solved.

The remaining ones are all minor cases that are not painful or itchy.

"Empress Hua is here!"

Sikong Yan was just thinking about whether to take a break when Shen Chaoyan came.

He listened to the footsteps approaching from afar, his brows relaxed, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the person coming towards him.

"Good luck to the emperor!"

Shen Chaoyan met Sikong Yan's gaze and bowed to him.

"My beloved concubine, you have come just in time. Please accompany me for dinner."

"Okay." Shen Chaoyan glanced at the pile of memorials in Sikong Yan's hand, rolled her eyes, and asked, "Your Majesty, have there been any reports of missing children around the capital recently?"

"No."

Sikong Yan met her serious gaze and raised his eyebrows curiously, "What's the matter?"

Sure enough!

Shen Chaoyan had guessed the answer.

The case of the missing child was indeed suppressed and never reached Sikong Yan's ears.

Right now, she is the only one who knows about this.

Therefore, she must find a way to participate in this case.

But now the case has not even been filed, and the aunt of the Xue family must file the case first.

At present, in the place called Moxiang Village, in addition to the children who were abducted, there are also some children who are bought from matchmakers. In addition, they will go to the charity bureaus built by local governments to adopt children with beautiful features and characteristics in the name of infertility.

There are more than 100 children detained in Moxiang Village!

The sooner the government finds Moxiang Village, the faster the children can be rescued from that dirty, evil and filthy quagmire!

Thinking of this, Shen Chaoyan decided to give Sikong Yan a shot of prevention first, "I heard that many children have gone missing outside the palace recently. Since the emperor hasn't heard any rumors, it may be a rumor."

Sikong Yan glanced at her, his eyes slightly deep, but he didn't ask any questions, "It turned out to be just a rumor, then serve the meal first."

"Okay."

Soon, the palace maids came in with exquisite dishes.

A large table was immediately filled with rich meals.

If it were normal, Shen Chaoyan would definitely feast on it.

But today she had something on her mind, so she didn't have any appetite.

Sikong Yan had already seen through her thoughts and had been waiting for her to speak up.

Shen Chaoyan was thinking about it again and again, and finally put down her chopsticks, "Your Majesty, last time I found the medicine bag hidden in the dragon bed, is it a great achievement?"

The medicine bag was the root cause of Sikong Huang's impotence.

She also made a great contribution to the expansion of the royal family.

Last time she forgot to ask for a reward, this time she shamelessly asked the tyrant for a verbal promise, the tyrant would definitely not refuse.

Sikong Yan nodded, "Of course."

Shen Chaoyan looked at him, "Then I want to ask you for a reward today, okay?"

"Tell me."

"I haven't thought of what good things to ask the emperor for at the moment, why don't you agree to one of my requests! I will tell the emperor after I think of what reward I want."

She planned to let Xue Youran's aunt file a case first, and wait for the Ministry of Justice to take over the missing case, so that she can have a legitimate reason.

Sikong Yan hesitated for a moment, "Allowed."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Sikong Yan agreed, and the rest of the things would be easier to handle.

After dinner, Shen Chaoyan left Yangxin Palace and went straight to Xue Youran's Guiyun Palace.

"Sister Shen!"

Xue Youran went out to greet her immediately after hearing that she was coming, "Any news from the Emperor?"

Shen Chaoyan shook her head, "Sister Xue, the Ministry of Justice has not received any cases of missing children. Please send a message out of the palace as soon as possible and ask your aunt's family to report the case to the Ministry of Justice. After the case is filed, I will contact my father and ask him to find the missing children as soon as possible!"

"Okay!"

Just after Xue Youran sent the letter out of the palace, Xuan Cang also left the palace on the orders of Sikong Xian. He sent many people to secretly investigate the towns around the capital.

And he himself went to the place called Moxiang Village.

The next day, in the middle of the night, Xuan Cang came back to report.

He reported everything he saw in Moxiang Village to Sikong Yan, "Your Majesty, the children living there have very good food, clothing and other necessities. There is even a private school in the village for them to learn to read and write."

Although Sikong Yan heard Shen Chaoyan's thoughts, Shen Chaoyan did not clearly think about what those children were captured for at the time.

Therefore, when he finished listening to Xuan Zhu's report, his brows tightened, "Besides teaching them to read and write, what else did they do to those children?"

"They also hired some nannies to teach the children manners." Xuan Zhu paused here, and then said, "Before I came back tonight, I happened to see two girls in the village trying to escape. However, they were caught before they ran far. The people who caught them were very skilled, and their moves looked like those of a death warrior. The strange thing is, no one beat or scolded the two children who were caught. Instead, they stripped them naked and tied them to the locust tree at the entrance of the village."

This kind of punishment can destroy a person's self-esteem more than beating or scolding.

These people spent so much energy to raise children, not only to provide them with education and literacy, but also to have nannies to teach them the rules, and even to have death squads to watch over them. It is definitely not easy!

Sikong Huang frowned and said in a deep voice, "You continue to keep an eye on Moxiang Village and make sure to find out what secrets this village hides! Remember, don't make a fuss!"

Xue Youran's uncle was the county magistrate of Taizhou in Jiangnan. After receiving the letter from Xue Youran in the palace, he immediately went to report the case.

Shen Chaoyan learned the news and took action.

She carried a food box with ginseng soup and went to Yangxin Palace.

Sikong Yan guessed her intention, glanced at the food box in her hand that was about to cover up the scandal, and deliberately said, "My beloved concubine mentioned the missing child the night before yesterday. I have verified that it is not a rumor. Now the case has been sent to the Ministry of Justice."
