"Tianxiang, sister, the little wild boar is roasted!"
When Hao entered the yard, he sniffed with his little nose and immediately smelled the aroma of roasted wild boar.
He ran to the table where the roasted wild boar was placed, and looked at the huge roasted pig with a gleam in his eyes.
Then Hao ran to his sister, hugged Mengyue's legs, said nothing, just tilted his head, opened his eyes wide, and looked at Mengyue.
What's so unclear about this? Mengyue doted on the tip of Hao's nose and said helplessly, "Little greedy boy, take your friends to drink some porridge first, and then we'll have roasted wild boar and let you eat as much as you want."
When Hao heard his sister say that they would eat later, he called the other children to go drink porridge together.
Only then did Mengyue look at the two familiar people. Before she could say anything, De came up to her, rubbing his hands together and whispering, "Niece, Dazhu, Daniu, and I took the traffickers to the county government office and told him about the child. The county magistrate insisted on coming here. I didn't mean to do that."
After listening to De's explanation, Mengyue immediately understood what was going on.
It is estimated that Yang Xianxun saw the human traffickers and learned that more than a dozen children followed her home, so she wanted to come and see what was going on.
After all, no matter what, some of these dozen children were lost in other counties, and some were children of relatively noble status, so it was reasonable for County Magistrate Yang to pay attention to them.
After thinking clearly about the whole thing, Mengyue not only did not feel disgusted with Yang Xianxun's behavior of coming over without saying hello, but she also approved of Yang Xianxun's approach.
It can be seen from these two things that he was able to personally investigate the girl's disappearance, bring Huang Shiren to justice, and also care about the abducted children.
The newly appointed county magistrate of Wuning County should not be a corrupt official who exploits the people. At least from now on, it seems that County magistrate Yang can still do things for the people.
Just for this reason, Mengyue was willing to give County Magistrate Yang a hard time.
A few days ago, Lanlong County sent a message saying that the young master of the Jiang family was missing and asked them to help find him. No matter who finds the young master of the Jiang family, the Jiang family will give out 12,000 taels of silver as a reward.
He looked down upon the ten thousand taels of silver, but news gradually came from other counties in Qingshan Prefecture that someone in their county had lost a child.
The key point is that the identities of these children are not ordinary. They are all children of wealthy local families. Otherwise, they would not be searched for in such a high-profile manner, and he would be able to get the news.
Just as he was leaving the house, he asked the yamen runners to search the county to see if they could find any trace of the human traffickers.
Unexpectedly, someone came to report the case with the human trafficker tied up, saying that the child from their village was missing and was found by the human trafficker.
The child's sister tied the man up and asked them to send him over.
After asking in detail, I found out that the elder sister of the abducted child in their county was the fake daughter Mengyue, whom I met some time ago. She was sold to Huang Shiren's house by her family and became the eighteenth concubine.
Thinking of Mengyue's skills and the fact that she had solved the child's kidnapping problem, County Magistrate Yang became extremely curious about Mengyue.
He really couldn't understand how Mengyue, who used to be the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, could have such extraordinary skills and courage that was not inferior to that of men.
As far as he knew, no woman who entered the Huang Mansion could come out intact.
However, Mengyue was not only evil, but also exposed many of Huang Shiren's evil deeds. In the end, he was thrown into prison and sentenced to immediate execution.
So much so that when he heard that the human traffickers had killed Mengyue's men, he wanted to visit her home.
He had already thought of the reason, which was for the dozen or so children who were abducted. After all, these children were not from farming families, and the county needed to send people back one by one.
Or send a message to Lanlong County, Wujiang County, Huangyao County, Shuimo County, Gugang County, and Mengchuan County, and let their families come to receive the deceased themselves.
Looking at Mengyue in front of him with a dull expression, Yang Xianfu was not sure whether she welcomed him.
Seeing Uncle De's anxious look, Mengyue comforted him, "Uncle De, it's okay. Stay and finish eating the roasted wild boar before leaving."
"Yue girl, that's not necessary. Uncle has something else to do, so I'll leave now."
Gu De turned and saluted Yang Xianfu: "My lord, I will withdraw first."
