Chunxiao felt relieved for a moment.
The official walked up to the officer and bowed. "Sir, my steward said that our family did buy a servant a few days ago. He bears some resemblance to this portrait. We bought him in a legitimate business, not kidnapped him."
"We'll find out later whether he was kidnapped or not. First, call the person over and take a look."
"Why don't you go and find someone here quickly?" Mr. Zhang was furious at the moment, feeling that the housekeeper he hired was a complete waste.
Yan Bingfa and the others nervously rubbed their hands together as they waited anxiously. The waiting time seemed particularly long. It was only a few minutes, but it felt like hours. They all paced back and forth anxiously.
The butler finally brought the person over.
"Wuzhong!" Yan Mingze was the first to react. He ran over and hugged the child in his arms.
"Dad!" The father and son burst into tears in front of so many people. The village head staggered over, and the three of them hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Yan Bangfa and the others looked back anxiously, but they didn't see the second child. Chunxiao walked to the officer and reminded him that there was another one.
The leading officer looked at Mr. Zhang, who was sweating profusely, and asked, "Where's the other one?"
The official looked at the steward with anger on his face.
"There is no more, so I bought one and prepared to use him as a servant for the young master." The manager was also shocked at this moment. He clearly said that the child came from a clean background, but how could it be said that he was kidnapped? This time it really killed him.
Shuwen was so anxious that she almost cried, "Aunt, how come there is nothing? I have found Wuzhong, but why can't I find Xiaoqi?"
Yan Bingfa also had tears in his eyes. How much hope he had when he came here, how much disappointment he had now.
Chun Xiao sighed, "It doesn't matter. Wuzhong has found him. We can always find Yan Qi by following the clues."
The government officials were very efficient and directly arrested the manager who bought the person and said they would take him back for questioning. The village head and others were immersed in the joy of recovering their lost child at this moment, so Chunxiao asked them to go back to the inn and comfort the child well. The three of them then followed him directly to the township government.
Chunxiao directly gave the headman 50 taels of silver and asked him to help investigate the clues.
On the one hand, the head of the pavilion sympathized with their plight, and on the other hand, he received silver. It was a serious and perfunctory matter, so since he had received benefits, he naturally promised to do his best.
After the three of them came out, Chunxiao asked Shuwen to take Yan Bangfa back to the inn first, and she went to the house of her sister-in-law who had provided the clue before. It was getting dark that day, so she went to the pastry shop to buy a few bags of pastries, and found the sister-in-law's house according to the route she remembered.
After knocking on the door and entering, the other party was very curious. When he heard that they had found the child and came to thank them, he warmly invited her to sit in the house.
She took out 10 taels of silver and handed it to the woman, then stuffed some snacks into her hand. After thanking her again, she left without staying for a moment.
As soon as he went out, he heard the woman behind the door exclaiming, "Daddy, daddy, we are rich."
Now that Wuzhong has been found, I wonder how long it will take to find Xiaoqi.
