The ancestor is here, she is here with space

Then, Wu Jinjie whispered, "I heard that several officials in Yong'an County have disappeared."

When Lin Congyun heard this, he immediately understood.

The officer disappeared, that's just missing, he just went to the space for labor reform.

"Let's impose martial law. Anyway, we can rest in Yong'an County for a while." Lin Congyun said lightly.

Lin Congyun’s words stunned Wu Jinjie. He originally thought that the old ancestor would be anxious about this, but he didn’t expect her to be so calm.

He calmed himself down and continued, "Grandfather, will there be any problems with the Madam and the others?"

Lin Congyun shook his head and said, "Don't worry, they will be fine."

Wu Jinjie nodded in agreement and then stepped back.

-------------------------------------

As night fell, the streets of Yong'an County were silent.

Lin Congyun changed into night clothes and quietly left the inn.

Her target was the county governor's mansion.

During the day, after Lin Congyun woke up, he thought that the wizard was not telling the truth, so he locked him up in the rockery for a few more days.

Since I have nothing to do, I might as well go to the County Magistrate's Mansion for a visit.

She was seen walking through the street as light as the wind and arriving at the back wall of the county magistrate's mansion.

She leaped up to the top of the wall and landed silently in the yard.

The county magistrate's mansion was completely dark, with only a few lights flickering.

Lin Congyun carefully avoided the patrolling guards and approached the room with the brightest lights.

She pressed herself against the window and looked into the house through the gap.

I saw a middle-aged man sitting at the table, flipping through a thick booklet.

That man should be the prefect of Yong'an County.

Lin Congyun held his breath and carefully observed the situation inside the house.

Inside the house, the county magistrate frowned, seeming to be worried about something.

Lin Congyun's heart moved, she quietly took out the small bottle in her arms and gently pulled out the cork.

A faint fragrance wafted out, and then the sleeping pills were gently sprinkled in.

Soon, the fragrance spread all around.

The county magistrate did not seem to notice anything unusual and was still buried in the booklet.

Lin Congyun waited patiently. After a while, she noticed that the county magistrate's movements were getting slower and slower, and his eyelids were beginning to twitch.

She knew that the drug had taken effect.

She gently pushed open the window, and in a flash, she entered the house.

She walked up to the county magistrate and saw that he was lying on the table, fast asleep.

Lin Congyun walked forward and quickly opened the booklet.

The contents of the booklet surprised her. It actually recorded all the taxes and expenditures of Yong'an County in recent years, as well as some unknown secret transactions.

There were actually some details about paying tribute to the capital. Lin Congyun was shocked. He did not expect that the prefect of Yong'an County was actually involved with the second prince of the capital.

She flipped through the booklet carefully, afraid of missing any details.

Suddenly, she found a page with specially marked content. It turned out that Yong'an County had sent more than ten children to the capital.

The child that Lin Congyun rescued this time was also going to be sent to the capital in two days.

But we didn’t expect that he was rescued by someone, so we closed the city and imposed martial law.

Lin Congyun only felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet. These people actually did such a heartless thing.

She took a deep breath, memorized the contents firmly in her mind, and then quickly put the booklet back in its place.

She knew that she couldn't stay here for long and had to leave as soon as possible.

She quietly left the room and jumped onto the wall again.

Before leaving, she looked back at the county magistrate's mansion with flickering lights, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

This time, he did not take anything from the county magistrate's mansion. Lin Congyun wanted to quickly ask the wizard for useful information to see what happened to those poor children now.

After returning to the inn, Lin Congyun changed his clothes and entered the space.

She led the wizard out of the rockery and threw him on the ground. She squatted down, staring at the wizard's empty eyes with eyes as sharp as knives.

"Tell me, where are those children? How are they now?" Lin Congyun's voice was cold.

The wizard raised his head tremblingly, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

He tried to struggle, but was held down by Lin Congyun.

"Don't try to challenge my patience." Lin Congyun's voice became even colder.

The wizard trembled and finally spoke: "I...really...don't..."

Lin Congyun took out the whip and hit the wizard directly.

"Ah!" The wizard let out a scream and his body trembled violently from being whipped.

A hint of coldness flashed across Lin Congyun's eyes. "Since you don't want to say it, then never say it again!"

She raised the whip in her hand again, and every whip fell on the wizard's body.

"I...I said..." The wizard finally couldn't bear the beating anymore. He said in a trembling voice, "Those children are all in the Second Prince's house..."

"In the Second Prince's residence?" Lin Congyun frowned. "How many children are there?"

The wizard was trembling, beads of sweat dripping down his forehead. He stammered, "There are only... a dozen children... and they were... sent here... a few days ago."

A dozen children?

"Was it sent from Yong'an County?" Lin Congyun thought of the booklet he saw in the county magistrate's office and asked again.

The wizard nodded and said weakly: "Yes... yes."

"Are they still in the Second Prince's residence?"

The wizard flinched, and seemed a little hesitant, but nodded, "Yes, they are all still there."

Anger surged in Lin Congyun's heart, "Are they still alive?"

The wizard nodded again and bared his teeth.

These children were actually sent to the Second Prince's residence, and it had been several days.

She had to act quickly to rescue those children.

She stood up and stared at the wizard with a sharp gaze, "Do you know where the child is being held in the Second Prince's mansion?"

The wizard shrank back, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, "I... I only know that they are locked in a secret room in the backyard, but I really don't know the exact location."

Lin Congyun took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

She knew that the most important thing now was to find those children instead of wasting time here.

She stood up, walked to the wizard, squatted down, and said coldly: "If you dare to lie to me, I will make you wish you were dead."

After saying that, she stood up, locked the wizard back into the rockery, and threw him a bottle of golden medicine, wanting to save his life.

Then she walked out of the space. She originally wanted to take the little wild cat to the abandoned palace of the imperial palace, but thinking about the last time when the little wild cat was besieged by guards in the Second Prince's Mansion, she didn't want to let the little wild cat be in danger again, so she decided to go to the Second Prince's Mansion alone.
