Chapter 406 Little Princess, can you read?

"You are the county magistrate here, right? I want to know if there was any strange thing happening in your town two years ago?"

Yuan Baobao asked in a cold voice with a serious face.

Lord Sun didn't expect that the one who spoke was the youngest kid. He hesitated for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

"You, you are..."

Although his heart had already turned cold, these people didn't look like they were here to investigate the case.

After all, they were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were few who could do anything.

Eunuch Wei glanced at him and said, "This is Princess Mingzhu, who was personally conferred by the current emperor."

"Princess Mingzhu heard that something happened in her fiefdom, so she rushed here at full speed. Why don't you report it quickly!"

Lord Sun... was stunned!

Changle is the fief of Princess Mingzhu, and he knows this.

But the little princess is too young and has never been here.

Officials like them don't take the little princess seriously. Who would have thought that after the incident, the prefect didn't care about it, but the little princess was the first to arrive?

But looking at the age of the little princess, she is not much older than two years old. What problem can such a little girl solve?

"Little Princess, I know you have good intentions, but this matter is a bit complicated. You are still young, so it's better not to..."

Lord Sun kindly reminded, and Eunuch Wei's old face sank: "What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and say it! Don't waste the little princess' time!"

What time is it now? If it is not solved quickly, won't this town be useless in the next few years?

Lord Sun blushed at what he said, he just meant well, how could these people...

[Oh, is there anyone who still looks down on me?]

[If this wasn't my fiefdom, I wouldn't even bother coming here!]

[I rush here day and night, is it easy?]

[But this town feels gloomy and uncomfortable!]

Yuan Baobao muttered in his heart, his face becoming more serious: "Do you have the files about the missing children here?"

Lord Sun was still nervous, but seeing that these people insisted, he gritted his teeth and thought, forget it, if the little princess wants to take care of it, let her do it, at worst, let the yamen runners accompany her, but the little princess must not be allowed to get into trouble.

"All of them!"

"But little princess, how old are you this year?"

Yuan Baobao... Is it polite to ask a three-year-old baby about his age?

Madam Sun followed closely, but she didn't dare to show up in front of everyone. Instead, she found a corner and watched secretly.

She wanted to find the thing that harmed the children and avenge her two grandsons, but it was a pity that the person who came in front of her...

Madam Sun's eyes were fierce. Why were the people sent by the court so casual? They really don't take the lives of the common people here seriously!

"Three years old!"

Yuan Baobao said with a stern face, and he was almost depressed to death in his heart.

It's not her fault that she is young, but it delayed things. If she were an adult, would anyone still doubt her?

Lord Sun smiled awkwardly: "Little princess, although the children who have gone missing recently are all under the age of two, three years old is also a dangerous age, you should not go out alone!"

Yuan Baobao knew that he was kind and did not bother with him.

"Let's look at the case file first!"

Lord Sun... Looking at the little one in front of him, Lord Sun hesitated for a long time, and still asked:

"Little princess, can you read?"

"Puchi..." He had been pretending to be dumb from the moment he got off the car to the emperor, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

This county magistrate speaks in an interesting way.

It is estimated that the little baby is almost depressed to death.

Sure enough, Yuan Baobao turned around and gave him a small roll of the eyes.

"Look, the files!"

The young man spoke word by word, and the emperor tried hard to hold back his laughter. Everyone followed him into the study of the county government.

The files were not of much value. It can be seen from them that they had been checked more than ten times, but each time they were inconclusive.

This county magistrate was relatively caring for the people. He even sent yamen runners from the county government to keep an eye on the newborn baby, but in the end, the child still died inexplicably.

Among them were the county magistrate's two grandsons.

"Little princess, it's not that I'm not conscientious, but the child died inexplicably, which is really hard to guard against!"

"The government office also sent people to check..."

Yuan Baobao said solemnly: "Let's go out and visit!"

Her eyes fell on the first person who reported the case.

"Where is this village? I want to go and see it!"

...

Yuzhong Village is not far from the county town.

There are five or six hundred households in the village, with a population of three or four thousand. It is a rare large village.

"Have you heard? Yu Xiaoer's wife ran away with the baby."

"Is it true? Why did I hear that she took the baby back to her parents' home?"

"Back to what parents' home? I heard them quarreling all day a few days ago?"

"Yu Xiaoer's wife is a strong-willed woman. Her first child died, and she made a lot of noise at home. I heard that when she was pregnant with the second child, she was restless all day." Under

the old locust tree in the village, several women gathered there and chattered.

Two of the women had bulging stomachs, and it can be seen that they are already quite pregnant.

"If you ask me, she is just too hypocritical! Isn't it just giving birth to a child? But she is also quite unlucky."

"Auntie, how can you say she is unlucky?"

Several people were talking, and no one noticed when a little girl came.

The little girl looked only two or three years old, with two small braids. Although the clothes she wore were not delicate, they were much better than those worn by people in their village.

The key is that the little girl's face is white, tender and chubby, just like a white steamed bun just out of the pot, just looking at it makes people want to take a bite.

When the little girl said this, her eyebrows were curved and she had a smile on her face. Several women softened their tone unconsciously: "Oh, where is this little girl from? She is so beautiful!"

"Little girl, you are not from our village, right?"

Seeing these women so enthusiastic, Yuan Baobao smiled even sweeter: "We just happened to pass by. What were you talking about just now? What are you talking about?"

Several ladies looked at each other. This little girl is still someone who likes to listen to the excitement.

"Little kid, we are talking about Yu Xiaoer's wife. She ran away with her baby after giving birth. She was unlucky. It was tragic when her first son died."

A woman in her fifties said this while smacking her lips.

Another woman in her thirties with a bulging belly said with a smile, "She was unlucky, wasn't she? Her son was dead when he died. She was not as good as my baby, who was chosen by the mountain god and given a 50-year-old ginseng to my family. I went to the town and exchanged it for fifty taels of silver!" When

she said this, several women looked over with envy.

Another woman patted her belly and said, "My last baby was a girl, and she was also chosen by the mountain god, who gave me half a wild boar!"

Yuan Baobao frowned. There was no record of this in the case file of the county government.
