One touch and one silence

"Your Highness, I am just an ordinary woman. The man is the boss of the family. I really..."

The woman couldn't even speak anymore after that.

Nanzhi turned his back, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"Go and bring all those girls here! Let them meet their parents."

Shuhua glanced at his master, turned around and left. Not long after, Shuhua was followed by a group of girls.

When these girls saw their parents, they started crying almost instantly.

He hugged his mother with grievance, telling her about his experiences and fears.

Nanzhi knew what the scene was like without even looking back.

The girls looked at their parents with strange expressions, which they could not understand.

Nanzhi's cold voice came over.

"Ladies and gentlemen, keep talking. In front of your daughters, you told them how they disgraced the family tradition and brought misfortune to their brothers and sisters, so that no one dared to marry them? Tell them that you plan to strangle them to death when you return!"

After Nanzhi said the last word, he sneered and looked at the men and women who were still kneeling on the ground.

How ridiculous!

The smart girl immediately understood what Nanzhi said and was shocked.

She looked at her parents in front of her with horror. Are these still the parents who loved her?

"Dad! Mom! Is this true?"

"You lied to me, didn't you?"

Qiu'er stared blankly at her parents in front of her. They lowered their heads in shame and remained silent. She cried out in grievance.

"Mom! Say something!"

Following Qiu'er's painful questioning, the other girls finally reacted.

They had been suffering from mental and physical torture during the days they were captured. At this moment, their defenses were broken. They were no longer happy to be able to go home, but...

There were only two men present who were holding the girls in their arms with care.

It seems out of tune with other people.

Nanzhi looked at the expressions of those people and laughed sarcastically, "Why? You were so confident just now, why can't you say it now? Or do you plan to go back, close the door, and persuade them to sacrifice their lives to fulfill your family's so-called honor?"

"Somebody come!"

Nanzhi found these men annoying.

"Throw all the men present at the bandit den and keep them there for a few days. When they have figured things out, release them to me."

"If you can't figure it out, don't come down!"

"By the way, let's find a place where there are only female bandits!" Since she was not afraid of her reputation, she let these men experience it too.

After giving the order, Nanzhi looked at the other women again and said coldly, "As for you women, as women, you don't know how difficult it is to be a woman, and you help the tyrant to commit atrocities. This prince will not punish you."

They will know later.

Sanqi watched the guards who came in and escorted people out. He walked anxiously to Nanzhi and asked in a low voice.

"Master, there are no bandits in Kyoto? There are even fewer female bandits!"

Liu Yue glanced at Erwu coldly, ran over quickly, pulled Sanqi away, and made a promise to Nanzhi.

"Master, don't worry!"

Liu Yue looked at San Qi, and San Qi suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Nanzhi watched as the hall suddenly became chaotic and the guards pulled all the men out.

At this moment, Nanzhi felt that he should teach these girls some skills so that they could become self-reliant.

Only if I have a skill can I avoid starving to death. Thinking of this, Nanzhi walked out of the side hall. The crying sounds inside gave her a headache.

Walking out the door, Nanzhi let out a deep breath.

"Liu Yue, have someone take those girls out and find some skills that women can use to survive independently and have them learn them."

"As for etiquette, there is no need for it. The only right thing to do is to survive."

"Embroidery, pharmacology, pastries, account bookkeeping, or anything else you think of, teach them all. As long as they are willing to learn, they can just pick one or two of their favorites. They can't bite off more than they can chew."

Women of ancient times!

Like a rootless duckweed, pitiful and sad!

Nanzhi walked out worriedly. Some of the boys had not been found yet, and no one knew what happened to them now.

As the carriage gradually started moving, Nanzhi lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and saw that the market was still as lively as ever.

Some are happy while others are sad!

As soon as Nanzhi stepped into the gate of Dali Temple, she received a message from the eunuch in the palace.

The emperor planned to publicly try the Prince of Zhennan in half a month. Nanzhi raised her eyebrows, but did not react. She nodded to the eunuch who came to deliver the letter.

Half a month?

Why wait another half month? Who are you waiting for?

Nanzhi didn’t quite understand, but forget it, no one knew what the emperor was thinking.

Just at this moment, Yuan Wuqing came running over from a distance with an anxious look on his face.

"My lord! My lord!"

"What? Are you in such a hurry?" Nanzhi wondered.

Yuan Wuqing wiped the sweat from his forehead and ran out of breath.

He walked to Nanzhi's side, lowered his body, and whispered to Nanzhi, "Your Highness, those children have been found. They are in the mansion of the Prince's Mansion."

Nanzhi was stunned, thinking that he had not heard clearly, and asked again with a frown.

"Who are you talking about?"

"The Prince's Mansion?" Yuan Wuqing repeated.

Nanzhi: ?????

This is really interesting. If she didn't know that Nan Yu was at the border, she might have really suspected that boy.

Is the person behind this matter powerful?

What exactly are they going to do?

These children are so young? Even if they are worth some money if sold, there is no need to make such a big fuss, right?

She actually had the ability to hide the child in the mansion she and the prince lived in.

There are indeed some means.

Or……

Any ulterior motive?

Nanzhi thought for a moment and instructed Liuyue, "Liuyue, go check if there is any special news outside recently?"

"Or is there someone else appearing in the capital?"

This is a huge range!

Liu Yue nodded and went out.

Nanzhi invited Yuan Wuqing to go to the conference room. She wanted to know more details.

"When did Master Yuan discover it? How did he discover it?"

“But someone is deliberately guiding me?”

Yuan Wuqing shook his head. "No one guided me. I just did what His Highness said."

I sent people to investigate everywhere and found that the Prince's Mansion bought a lot of rice and flour in the past two days. It's strange to say that although a lot of rice and flour were bought, the vegetables were still not much more than before. "

"I was confused at the time. This was a little unreasonable, wasn't it? So I took your Highness's badge and went directly to check the purchase account book of the Prince's Mansion."

"We found something wrong after checking. They would buy rice, flour, vegetables and meat in the city and send them to the farm regularly at the end or beginning of every year."

"And their kitchen actually steamed a lot of buns, which is even more suspicious."

"So he led people to surround the Prince's Mansion and Zhuangzi as well."

"I really got caught!"

After hearing this, Nanzhi felt relieved.

"Is the child okay?"

This was what she was most worried about. Children in ancient times had weak constitutions and would develop high fever and die easily if they were frightened.

"Not really, but two children had a high fever yesterday. The doctor has seen them and they are both doing well now. The fever has gone down."

Nanzhi placed his fingers on the table and tapped rhythmically, thinking about how to solve this problem.
