What, send him to the government?

Hu Yichun had been in the underworld for so long. When he heard Yan Shu say this, he finally reacted. He said in a slow voice, "I don't know who you are. I have no grudges against you. Why do you want to hurt me? We can talk about it. Please let me go first."

Yan Shu spat at him through the curtain, "You scumbag, are you qualified to talk to us?"

Humph, this pervert has done so many evil things that are intolerable to heaven, and he even wanted to seduce the emperor just now? ? ?

She became more and more angry as she thought about it, and said, "Beat him!"

"..."

The guards were still a little hesitant after hearing this.

So they secretly glanced at the king, and when they saw that the king did not say anything, they immediately responded and punched the man.

——Heh, don’t mention it, they have long wanted to beat

up this child-trafficking scum! Hu Yichun was not physically strong, but the guards were all strong men who could kill a cow with one punch. At this time, they were all filled with righteous anger, and in a few strokes, they beat him up so badly that his face was bruised and bloody.

Yuwen Lan glanced at her and immediately looked at Yan Shu.

Sure enough, he saw her body sway, as if her legs were weak and she was about to fall.

"..."

He immediately stepped forward and held her in his arms, but heard her cursing in her heart, [NND, this scum actually dared to bleed! ! ! Are you deliberately pissing me off! ! ! 】

Yuwen Lan, "..."

He could only quickly tell the guards, "It's done."

The guards stopped.

Hu Yichun also fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

The noise naturally attracted many people in the store to watch.

Seeing that everyone looked confused, Yuwen Lan coughed and said, "This man stole silver and frightened the lady. Send him to Jingzhao Prefecture to report the case."

The guards agreed and immediately grabbed Hu Yichun's neck and dragged him out.

He hugged Yan Shu by the waist and walked out.

As he walked, he asked, "How is it?"

Yan Shu was still a little dizzy and could only say weakly, "I am so disappointing."

Damn, why is he bleeding again! ! ! He should be beaten a few more times! ! !

Humph, just for daring to scold me just now, beating him up so that he can't take care of himself is the least of my worries!!!

Yuwen Lan, "..."

He was filled with mixed feelings, trying to suppress his smile and said, "Let him live and then cut him into pieces."

Before he finished speaking, he had already reached the carriage. The driver hurriedly opened the curtain, and he carried her into the carriage, never letting her go.

~~

Just like that, in full view of the public, Hu Yichun was sent to Jingzhao Prefecture.

Theft cases were originally simple to handle, but seeing that the person was sent here by Yu's former guards, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture did not dare to neglect it and immediately conducted an investigation on this person.

Unexpectedly, it was discovered during the investigation that this person really had something.

...

Jifu Tower was already some distance away from the palace, and it was already late when they returned to Ganlu Palace.

In addition, Yan Shu fainted again, and she could not take care of anything for a while, so she went to bed early.

However, when she woke up early the next morning, she finally heard good news.

It is said that Jingzhao Prefecture found Hu Yichun's residence overnight, and after a search, found several land deeds related to him.

Following the clues, the government found two private houses hidden in the suburbs, from which six boys were found, all of whom were previously lost children.

According to his subordinates, Hu Yichun had also engaged in human trafficking in Jiangnan, Hunan, Hubei and other places. He kidnapped good-looking children, trained them, and then sold them to wealthy businessmen or officials in various places. The matter was of

great importance, and Jingzhao Prefecture immediately reported to the court and transferred the case to the Ministry of Justice. The king also ordered the Censorate to intervene and deal with it as a major case.

Therefore, everyone was very busy in the court this morning.

Meanwhile, Yan Shu, who was leisurely enjoying her breakfast, was talking to the system while eating, [Next up is that scumbag Chai Weizhong, have they found him?]

The system said, [Not yet. You know, Chai Weizhong is very cautious. Every time he goes to see Hu Yichun, he disguises himself. So far, the Censorate has not found any clues that he has any dealings with Hu Yichun.]

[And since the emperor said yesterday that he would conduct a strict investigation, he immediately dismissed the male concubines in the mansion and sent people to pick up his original wife, Nie, to Beijing, intending to cover up. Nie is already on the way.]

Yan Shu, [??? This scumbag is still using his wife at this time? What a piece of shit!!!]

The system, [If he is not a thousand-year-old fox, who can play so many tricks? In short, these perverts are more cunning than each other. 】

That's true.

Yan Shu angrily took a bite of the golden cake and thought to herself, no, she couldn't bear to see the scum go unpunished. She

had to think of a way.

~~

That afternoon, Xiaoyao Gongzi's new book suddenly came out.

Although it was a bit sudden, it did not hinder the popularity of the new book. Thousands of copies were sold in just one afternoon.

By dinner time, people who had read the book had already started discussing the plot -

recently due to the missing boy case, the topic of "broken sleeves" and "pedophilia" was very sensitive. Unexpectedly, one of the protagonists in this story was a broken sleeve.

Combined with previous experience, everyone immediately realized that this story was very likely related to the case that just happened, and they all speculated on the identity of the scumbag in the story.

- Could it be that there is really an official in the court who is a traitor?

And he also keeps a male concubine at home?

Tsk tsk tsk, who is such a ridiculous person?

More and more people talked about it, and at this time, the business was prosperous in the north, south, east and west. Soon, this topic spread from the capital to all directions.

...

After three days of travel, it seemed that they would reach the capital tomorrow.

That night, Chai Weizhong's original wife, Nie, rested in the inn.

There were many travelers at this time of year, and the inn was also bustling.

After dinner, the maid Bai Guo came in with some hot water to help Nie wash up.

Nie asked, "Why did you take so long?"

——She was a gentle person, and there was no blame in her words, so Bai Guo smiled and said, "The water was not boiled just now, and there happened to be a storyteller next to me. I saw that there were many people listening, so I listened for a while."

Nie also smiled and said, "What kind of book are you so fascinated by?"

Bai Guo's eyes lit up, and he immediately said to her, "Madam, do you know that there are such people in the world who don't like women but like men."

Nie was over 40 years old after all, and had more experience, so she said, "This is called the love of dragon and yang, and I have heard of it before."

Bai Guo said, "But, that person obviously likes men, but he still wants to marry and have children. After marriage, he lets his wife take care of his parents-in-law and children in his hometown, while he himself is free and happy elsewhere. It's too much! You don't know that this person is still in the mansion There are several male concubines in the mansion!"

Nie was stunned, "What? Male concubines?"

Bai Guo nodded, "In order to facilitate those absurd things with men, that person actually asked the man he loved to pretend to be a concubine and live in the mansion to hide it from others."

Perhaps it was too bizarre. After hearing this, Nie became curious and asked, "Then, didn't his wife find out?"

Bai Guo said, "It is said that the wife is very virtuous and has been taking care of her parents-in-law and children in her hometown. This man is away all year round. Although he has bought a house a long time ago, he never asks his wife to live with him. He only goes back to his hometown to visit relatives during the New Year, but every time he just visits and leaves in a hurry... The couple seems to respect each other like guests, but in fact they are as cold as ice."

Hearing this, Nie's heart trembled.

——Why isn't she the same?

Since she married into the Chai family, she and her husband had sex so often that it was easy to overdo it, especially since she gave birth to two children many years ago. She had no sex at all.

Her parents-in-law had suggested that her husband take her to the capital, but he always refused on the grounds that women were troublesome, and took concubines in the capital.

After such a sad moment, Nie suddenly realized that the lady in this story was so similar to herself.

Just as she was wondering, she heard Bai Guo say, "This man always leaves home in a hurry under the pretext of being busy with his career, but in fact he is in a hurry to go back and fool around with those male concubines. Oh, yes, it seems that there are not only those in the mansion, but also male lovers outside... Tsk tsk, it's really disgusting."

Then he helped her take off her shoes and socks and washed her feet.

Nie was already immersed in the story, frowning and asking, "Did the lady find out later?"

Bai Guo washed her feet and nodded, "She found out. Once, the lady was in a hurry to go to the capital to see a doctor for her parents-in-law. She didn't have time to greet the man and found out when she arrived at the mansion."

Nie asked hurriedly, "How did she find out?"

Bai Guo said, "Those concubines are men after all. They are tall and their voices are like those of ordinary women. They have never used menstrual belts or anything like that... The most important thing is that the three of them have been in the mansion for several years, and none of them can give birth to a child. Naturally, there is a problem."

Nie's eyebrows suddenly wrinkled.

Tall...

and the voice is not like that of an ordinary woman?

——She remembered that one year she made winter clothes for her husband with her own hands and asked the housekeeper to send them to the capital. The housekeeper came back and told her that her husband’s concubines were all tall and had rough voices...

The housekeeper was puzzled, why did the husband like women who looked like men?

The most important thing is that the Chai family has only had two children born to her in these years. Those concubines have been in the capital for many years and have not given birth to anything...

Could it be...

Nie became more and more suspicious and asked hurriedly, "What else did the storyteller say?"

Bai Guo thought for a while and said, "The storyteller also said that this person not only fooled around with men, but later also partnered with others to kidnap other people's children, and then sold them to those who also liked men for fun... Oh, anyway, he is too bad! Such a good wife wasted! Later, the government found out about him, and he was so scared that he dismissed the male concubines in the mansion and brought his wife to the city..."

What?

Nie was shocked.

On her way to Beijing, she saw officials checking for human traffickers from time to time. She asked people to find out that a boy trafficking case had occurred in Beijing a few days ago...

and this time Chai Weizhong asked her to go to Beijing, it was also sudden.

Could it be such a coincidence?

~~

Three days later, Yan Shu got up and heard the system's message, [Chai Weizhong was arrested.]

Huh?

Her eyes lit up and she immediately asked, [How was he arrested? Did Hu Yichun confess?]

System, [Yes, one is that Hu Yichun couldn't stand the torture and finally confessed, and secondly, the male concubine who left his house was also caught and confessed that he had contact with Hu Yichun.]

Yan Shu's eyes lit up, [The government actually found his male concubine? Not bad, when did this start? 】

System,【Actually, the emperor has been secretly sending people to monitor the Chai Mansion, and he caught the person as early as when he dismissed the male concubines.】

Yan Shu,【!!! The emperor is awesome!】

But after she finished praising him, she felt something was wrong.

【…Wait, why did the emperor send people to monitor the Chai Mansion? How did he know that Chai Weizhong was not right?】

System,【…Sorry, there seems to be some interference signal from the emperor, and this system has not been able to detect his psychological activities.】

Yan Shu,【???】

How could this happen?

Tsk, is it because he is the emperor and has a real dragon to protect him that the system is blocked?

It is possible to think about it, after all, the system has not yet told her why the emperor was so incompetent.

But she thought about it and felt that it was the storybook she had written before that made the emperor suspicious -

after all, there were not many officials of his rank in the court who kept their wives at home.

The emperor would know it was him with a little investigation.

At this time, she heard the system say, "Mrs. Chai has contributed to this matter."

Yan Shu immediately asked, "What do you mean?"

System, [After the two pointed out Chai Weizhong, the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice entered the Chai residence to search. At this time, Mrs. Chai, Nie, took the initiative to submit a copy of Chai Weizhong's account book to the court. The accounts in the account book were enough to prove that Chai Weizhong had given Hu Yichun several thousand taels of silver to buy a house in the capital, and that Hu Yichun had shared the spoils with him after he abducted and sold a boy. ]

Yan Shu's eyes lit up when she heard this, [Good job, Mrs. Chai! ]

System, [It's mainly because I came to my senses after reading your story. ]

Yan Shu smiled with relief, [It's good that she has come to her senses. Such a noble act of sacrificing one's own relatives should be taken care of by the court and not let her be implicated by that scumbag. ]

- She sincerely hopes that this sister can stand up.

Although her fate was unfair at the beginning, and she wasted more than 20 years of her youth with that scumbag, it is never too late to wake up.

I hope she can recover. Maybe she can really achieve a career and live her own life as in the storybook.

~~

After Chai Weizhong was arrested, the case progressed much faster.

Within two days, after investigation by the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice, they basically found out the wealthy businessmen or officials from all over the country who had dealings with Hu Yichun, the main culprit in the boy trafficking case. And rescued dozens of victimized children.

Those who abused children were not spared and were all arrested.

After the case was solved, Hu Yichun was sentenced to castration, and another accomplice Chai Weizhong was also sentenced to beheading.

Considering that his wife had been separated from him for many years and was unaware of his evil deeds, and that she took the initiative to report him after discovering the clues, the king specially granted his permission to avoid being implicated by Chai Weizhong. As

for the other people involved in the case, they were all sentenced according to their crimes, which was very gratifying.

For a while, in addition to spitting and cursing the evil deeds of Hu, Chai and other scums, the people on the streets and alleys also started a new rumor -

it was said that the first person to catch Hu Yichun this time was a young woman.

Although there was no advance disclosure of the story by Xiaoyao Gongzi this time, this topic also triggered people's curiosity.

——According to the diners who were present at Ji Fu Lou that night, that woman was wearing a fluttering gauze dress and had a graceful figure. Although her face could not be seen clearly due to the curtain, it can be imagined that she must have been as beautiful as a fairy. When she found out that this person was stealing, she was not afraid and had the courage to call the servants to arrest him, which shows that she was very brave.

At eleven o'clock, everyone was curious about who this strange woman was.

...

That afternoon, Hanlin scholar Zou Mozhong finished drafting the imperial edict in Yu's study. While no one was in the room, he said to the king, "Your Majesty, you know that there have been rumors among the people recently that the first person to discover the main culprit Hu Yichun this time was actually a young girl of great age!"

"Legend has it that she is very smart and courageous. She only brushed shoulders with Hu Yichun and she was able to see that he had evil intentions and committed evil deeds. She is indeed an extraordinary woman."

Yuwen Lan said, "A young girl of great age?"

Is he talking about Yan Shu?

But Zou Mozhong nodded, "Yes, the people all call her a heroine. Now, young and old, everyone is curious about the identity of this girl... I think if Master Xiaoyao can publish such a story at this time, it will surely be very popular."

Ahem, mainly because he was also curious about who this extraordinary woman was.

Master Xiaoyao has always been very good at predicting things, and he might know some clues.

So ask him to write it down quickly, so as to appease everyone's curiosity!

Yuwen Lan, "???"

He was obviously there that day, why was he automatically ignored in the rumor?

And why are these people curious about what his beloved concubine does for no reason?

He said perfunctorily, "I haven't heard from her in the past few days, let's ask someone later."

Scholar Zou saw that the king was not very interested, so he had to agree first and left the palace.

Yuwen Lan sat alone for a while. He couldn't concentrate on reading the memorials, so he stood up and went out of the palace to Ganlu Palace. When

he

arrived, he saw Yan Shu writing a storybook, frowning slightly, looking very serious. She

was so serious that he almost didn't notice him entering the palace.

After hearing the message, she hurriedly put down her pen and stood up to pay her respects, "Your Majesty."

Yuwen Lan hummed, sat down on the warm couch, and asked, "What story did you write today?"

Yan Shu raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said proudly, "I wrote about a wonderful woman today."

Hmm?

Yuwen Lan raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean by wonderful woman?"

- Could it be that she also knew the rumors outside and wanted to write her own story?

But she cleared her throat and said, "This girl is both beautiful and intelligent, and is proficient in both literary and martial arts. What's more worth mentioning is that she is full of justice, fearless of treacherous villains and wolves, and brave enough to fight against evil forces."

Yuwen Lan, "..."

Beautiful and intelligent? Proficient

in both literary and martial arts?

Full of justice, fearless of treacherous villains and wolves?

Well, with such rich praise, he was sure it was written about her.

He then pretended that he had not heard, nodded and said, "She is indeed a rare and extraordinary woman. I wonder what her story is?"

Then she continued, "This girl hides in the pavilion during the day, and travels the world with a sword at night. Whenever she sees injustice, she will take action.

"For example, one night, she saw a gambler trying to sell his wife to pay off his debts, so she beat the gambler up and let his wife escape;"

"Another example, one time, she saw a few scoundrels bullying a decent woman, so she broke their hands and feet, and cut off their treasures, so that they would not do it again next time. " "

Another time, she encountered bandits robbing poor people. In a rage, she flattened the entire mountain by herself, and gave all the money stolen by the bandits to the people who had suffered from the bandits... In short, those bad guys were no match for her."

Yuwen Lan, "..."

Beating up the gambler and flattening the bandits was fine, but what about cutting up the treasures?

Why is she so keen on... this thing?

And a group of people???

How can a girl be so...

Before he could think of an adjective, she continued, "This girl did many good things that benefited the country and the people, and therefore received countless praises and gratitude. Finally one day, the gods were moved and gave her an elixir. After eating it, she became a fairy."

Yuwen Lan, "???"

What is this trend?

He couldn't help but ask, "Why did she suddenly become a fairy?"

Can't the human world keep her?

The ambition is so far-reaching???

But Yan Shu said proudly, "Because she is so outstanding and there is no flaw to find, so she can only ascend to heaven. After all, becoming a fairy can keep youth forever and be as beautiful as a flower."

Yuwen Lan, "..."

Well, she really doesn't hesitate to imagine herself beautifully.

But after sighing for a while, he suddenly realized a problem-

there was no figure of himself in her story.

Yuwen Lan was silent for a moment, then asked, "This girl wants to become an immortal alone, is it because she hasn't met a man who shares her feelings? Why don't you arrange a lover for her to spend her life with?"

Yan Shu, "..."

She originally wanted to say that a man would only affect her speed of drawing the sword.

A female hero can be happy and free alone, why does she need a man?

But thinking that the emperor is also a man, she was afraid that this would hurt his self-esteem, so she said, "Because... this girl was only concerned about doing big things and accidentally forgot."

Forgot?

Yuwen Lan, who listened to her psychological activities throughout the whole process, just wanted to snort coldly.

She really forgot him.

He stretched out his hand and pulled her in front of him, and put his flawless face close to her almond eyes, and whispered, "There are still many things in the world to be nostalgic about, why rush to become an immortal?"

His low and magnetic voice was close to her ears, and Yan Shu couldn't help feeling a little dizzy, and stammered with a distracted mind, "What else is there to be nostalgic about..."

As she spoke, she only looked at his lips.

Thin, quite tempting.

However, as soon as the voice fell, the man in front of her suddenly had a dark look in his eyes.

Then, she tasted what she wanted to taste.

Well, it's really good.

Yuwen Lan listened to it and smiled softly.

He also thought it was good.

——The poison has been almost eliminated in the past few days, and after drinking a few more doses of medicine, he seems to have gradually recovered as before.

It’s just that he had been busy dealing with the missing child case in the past few days. After solving the case, he had to revise the laws and rectify the government guidelines, so he didn’t have time to think too much.

Now that he was free and had Wen Xiang in his arms, he finally got into the state.

...

Yan Shu felt the same way.

It seemed that the emperor hadn’t been like this...

to her for a long time.

While kissing him, she still had time to think -

he has been drinking medicine for more than half a month, right?

I wonder what state he is in now?

Not long after, she accidentally brushed something beside her and was suddenly stunned.

What, what is that?

Yuwen Lan was relieved.

He did it.

This is the first time he has done this in such a long time.

He did it!!!

He was so happy that he could not express it in words. He did not care what time it was. He just wanted to continue the verification.

However, at this moment, he heard a voice coming from outside the door, "Empress Yi, the Queen Mother invites you..."

The two paused and came back to their senses at the same time.
