Heding County is not far from the capital and belongs to the suburbs of the capital.
It only took half a day for Emperor Cheng Xuan and his entourage to arrive safely.
Since they want to go on a secret visit, they naturally need an identity.
He simply claimed that he was the King of Qi.
"Daddy, who is the King of Qi? Why has Shuangbao never heard of him or seen him?"
Little Shuangbao was very curious about this.
"He is my younger brother, Shuangbao should call him uncle."
Emperor Chengxuan explained, "The Prince of Qi enjoys traveling and rarely stays in the palace in the capital. He is about the same age as me and looks somewhat similar. He also has a daughter who is about your age."
What he didn't say was that the King of Qi was indifferent to fame and fortune, and did not have any real power in his hands. He was an idle prince.
A prince who has the throne but no real power, such an identity seems to be just suitable for incognito visits.
"But if others ask, we can just say we are businessmen, engaged in the tea business, and we are going home to visit relatives."
Emperor Chengxuan gave instructions to Xiao Shuangbao.
Little Shuangbao listened carefully all the way.
After their carriage arrived in Heding County, they went straight to Xin'an Town to find out the situation.
Before, Si Li Ye handled this matter and stopped the Living Immortal, the master of Xiqing Temple, from sending a group of children out in time.
But those that were sent out before cannot be recovered.
Therefore, there are still many families in Xin'an Town whose children have not been found.
"This is the statue that the townspeople built for the Living God. But after it was revealed that the Living God was a human trafficker, the townspeople became angry and smashed the entire statue."
After arriving in the town, Si Li Ye introduced the situation there.
"So, what about that living immortal? Was he caught?"
Little Frost Treasure asked.
"No, he escaped."
Si Liye shook his head. "Under the circumstances at the time, I could only make one of two choices. If I captured the immortal alive, I wouldn't be able to stop these children from being sent away."
"Brother Li Ye is against it. If it was Shuang Bao, he would also choose to save people."
Little Shuangbao nodded.
"Didn't the little princess say that she could figure out the whereabouts of these missing children? What should we do now?"
Si Li Ye looked at her and asked.
"We need to go to these families first and ask them if they're willing to share their lost child's birth date, or even their name!"
Little Frost Treasure said.
Si Li Ye thought to himself, he wanted to see if Su Chushuang really had such great abilities in this life.
This matter cannot be resolved in a short time.
Everyone found an inn in the town to stay.
Before this, Si Li Ye had dealt with the people in the town and knew which families had lost their children.
"It's a bit late today, why not start the investigation tomorrow."
Emperor Chengxuan told everyone to take a short rest.
The next morning, Si Liye took Xiao Shuangbao with him to start the investigation.
They went to the home of the missing child to inquire.
But perhaps because of the previous experience of the living immortal, these people became particularly vigilant. They did not believe that Shuangbao, a three or four-year-old child, could find their children. They even suspected that this was another scam, so they refused.
"Who knows if you might be another living immortal? Go away! I won't let you fool me again!"
The people were very resistant.
"These people, out of greed, wanted their children to inherit the Taoist temple, so they took the initiative to give their own children to the living immortals, and now they are blaming others?"
Zhou Guisheng said angrily.
"That's not the case."
The ugly concubine said, "These people went to report to the authorities as soon as the incident happened, which shows that they wanted to rely on the government from the beginning.
“But who knew that the government would do nothing.
“They have no other options, so they want to rely on this living immortal.
“Plus, since the Living God did indeed return those lost children, it makes sense that they would believe in the Living God.
"If the government cared about the people, they would naturally stop relying on ghosts and gods."
What she said makes a lot of sense.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chengxuan couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
"Her Majesty the Ugly Concubine is right! However, we must know the information about these missing children now."
Little Frost Treasure said.
"But now the people in this town are so scared that they are unwilling to tell us."
Zhou Guisheng scowled.
"I have a plan."
At this time, the ugly concubine said, pouring out a pill from a porcelain bottle, "This pill can make people tell the truth in a short period of time. We can make them take the pill and tell us the information we want to know."
"Wow! There are pills like this!"
Little Shuangbao was shocked.
But the next moment, she suddenly covered her mouth with her two small hands, "The Ugly Concubine will not let Shuangbao eat it! Shuangbao no longer has any little secrets to hide! You can't give Shuangbao food!"
Her words immediately aroused Emperor Chengxuan's great suspicion.
He was almost certain that the little baby must have some guilty little secret again!
"Don't worry, I won't let the princess eat it. Besides, this pill is very difficult to refine, and I only have this one, so I can only choose one person."
The ugly concubine said with a smile.
"Yeah! Frost Treasure can figure it out with just one person!"
Little Shuangbao nodded.
The ugly concubine took the pills and knocked on the door of the family who had just rejected them.
