She also invested a lot of money.
[Little girl, we understand. We'll go find someone for you right away.]
After seeing the person in the portrait, these eagles were very easy to talk to. They believed whatever she said. They were much more lovable than some people with ulterior motives.
These eagles take off very quickly and fly very high. In the blink of an eye, they have flown out of the yard.
Tao Yuwei looked up at the eagles flying away, and her heart was filled with worry about the safety of Zhang Hu and Liu Tao.
Hope they are safe.
After interrogating the abducted human trafficker, Tieshan hurried to discuss something with her.
"My Lady, that man has spoken. He said that the person in charge of kidnapping and trafficking children in various places in the city is called Zhang Shizhong. They always use delicious candies to lure these children away, and then transport them out of the city. As for where they are transported to, he has no idea."
"He also said that this Zhang Shizhong was very mysterious. Every time he came to the compound to see them, he wore a hood and a mask, and was very cautious. No one had ever seen what he looked like. I suspect that this Zhang Shizhong was also using a fake name."
After hearing the news, Tao Yuwei walked quickly out of the yard.
"I'm going to find someone to investigate this Zhang Shizhong. You stay in the yard and wait for me to come back."
She asked the old man who was in charge of the courtyard for a mule cart and drove it to Xiao Yuwei's office by herself.
In the warden's dark dungeon.
Heiyan pushed Xiao Lichen to the injured Tian Linwen.
"Has he confessed everything?"
Tian Linwen's hands and feet were bound with iron rings. He was wearing a prison uniform stained with blood. His hair was disheveled, his head drooping in disarray, covering his entire face.
A Xiaoyu Guard who was in charge of interrogating him saw Xiao Lichen, put away his whip, and saluted, "Commander, he's very stubborn. I've been beating him for more than half an hour, and he hasn't said anything."
Xiao Lichen glanced at Tian Linwen coldly and instructed the Xiao Yu Guard, "Don't worry for now. Think of some ways and means. Remember to report when you have any news."
At this time, someone ran into the dungeon to report, "Commander, Princess Anle is looking for you!"
"Let's go up and meet him." Xiao Lichen glanced at Hei Yan behind him.
The sound of the wheelchair gradually faded away, and Tian Linwen, with his head lowered, opened his eyes.
Princess Anle comes to see Prince Xiao?
They had a close relationship, and he suspected that the Prince of Yong knew something. He didn't say anything, but he could hardly hold on any longer and hoped that the Eighth Prince would come and rescue him as soon as possible.
Xiao Yuwei, who was standing in front of him and was responsible for interrogating him, slapped the palm of his other hand with the whip in his hand.
"Tian Linwen, I advise you to confess all the shameful things you have done, otherwise, you will suffer greatly."
The Xiao Yuwei offered him some words of advice as he walked up to him, raised his hand to grab his hair, and pulled it upwards. "I'm being measured. I know you're not unconscious. Stop pretending."
Tian Linwen's scalp hurt from being pulled by the other party. He reluctantly raised his eyelids and looked at the other party woodenly.
The Xiao Yuwei immediately let go of his hair, helped him to tidy up his prison uniform that was about to open, looked at him deeply, let go of one of his hands, and turned to leave.
Tian Linwen ignored the pain in his shoulder and quickly took out the note that had just been stuffed into his arms. He unfolded it with one hand with great effort, read the contents on it, and then put the note into his mouth and swallowed it.
Not long after, the Xiao Yuwei who interrogated him returned and handcuffed the freed hand back to the iron ring nailed to the wall.
"The people outside asked me to tell you something. There are some things that need to be picked out, and if absolutely necessary, put the blame on that person."
Tian Linwen thought for a moment and didn't say anything, fearing that the other party was plotting to cheat him.
Inside the yamen outside the dungeon.
After drinking two cups of tea, Tao Yuwei finally met Xiao Lichen.
"This princess has something important to discuss with you."
She was straightforward and didn't have any nonsense with him.
Xiao Lichen signaled Hei Yan to go out. Before leaving, Hei Yan glared at her in dissatisfaction.
I don’t know what means Princess Anle used on her master to make him obey her orders, which is very different from his original attitude.
After the door was closed, Tao Yuwei told him in detail what happened last night in the slum near Xiajia Temple in the south city.
"My father's two guards were once famous scouts in the Northern Frontier. They were very good at gathering information. They disappeared after last night and failed to pass on any news to this princess."
After listening, Xiao Lichen's deep peach blossom eyes said calmly, "Is there anything else? Let's talk about it together."
Tao Yuwei also shared her guess.
"Behind these human traffickers, there must be an extremely powerful person controlling the situation. We'd better dig this person out to prevent more innocent children from being abducted."
"Uncle Tieshan and I captured a human trafficker and brought him back. He told me that the person in charge of their coordinated operation to kidnap children was called Zhang Shizhong. Every time he came to the compound to discuss matters, this person would wear a mask."
Before she finished the rest of her words, Xiao Lichen already understood what she wanted to do.
"I'll have people secretly investigate Zhang Shizhong throughout the city. As for your plan to infiltrate the human traffickers' lair, it's too dangerous for a young girl like you. I don't agree with it!"
Xiao Lichen stopped her dangerous idea with a stern expression.
Tao Yuwei insisted on her own opinion. "As long as we can defeat these evil-minded people, it doesn't matter if this princess takes a little risk."
