The ancestor is here, she is here with space

The guards took the order and left, while the Second Prince stood where he was, staring deeply at the sea of ​​fire in front of him.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger and was difficult to control.

The second prince watched with heartache as his treasure turned to ashes in the sea of ​​fire, and the anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

By the time the fire was put out, the entire secret room had become a ruin.

The second prince looked at the ruins before him with heartache. Those precious treasures, those treasures that he had collected with so much effort, were now reduced to ashes.

He turned to look at the guard beside him and asked coldly: "Have you checked it out?"

The guards lowered their heads, their faces pale. One of them said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, we...we have found some clues."

"Speak!" The second prince's voice was cold.

"We didn't find Lord Zhao's body in the secret room." The guard stammered, "But we did find a jade pendant in the secret room."

"Jade pendant?" The second prince frowned, "What jade pendant?"

The guard hesitated for a moment and whispered, "This jade pendant is the only thing left in the secret room."

"What do you mean by only left?"

"Your Highness, apart from this jade pendant, there is nothing else in the secret room." The guard replied in a trembling voice.

The second prince snatched the jade pendant from the guard's hand and examined it carefully.

As far as he could remember, he had never seen this jade pendant before, but the texture and carving of this jade pendant were extremely fine, and it was obviously not an ordinary item.

Maybe there were too many good things before and I didn’t pay attention to this jade pendant.

and many more!

The second prince seemed a little slow to respond. "You just said there was nothing else in the secret room?"

The guard nodded, "Nothing?"

How can this be?

Although the secret room was burned beyond recognition by the fire, there should have been gold bars and silver ingots in the secret room. Even if the fire was big, it would be impossible for them to be burned to ashes, but at least there should be some residues.

unless……

Unless there is something fishy about this fire and someone started it intentionally in order to conceal their tracks and steal all the valuables!

Thinking of this, the second prince's expression became even uglier.

He turned around abruptly and shouted at the guards beside him: "Go check immediately! Find out what happened to this fire! Also, where did Zhao Tianqian go?"

The guards were so frightened that they trembled all over and quickly took the order and left.

The second prince stood there, staring at the ruins in front of him with a grim look.

He knew in his heart that the fire was definitely not an accident but was caused intentionally.

Moreover, this person was so cunning that he even thought of using a fire to cover up his crime.

However, he is not so easy to fool.

As long as he is given time, he will definitely find out the truth about the fire and Zhao Tianqian...

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in the second prince's eyes.

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

Inside the space, Lin Congyun first threw Zhao Tianqian into the rockery and locked him up.

The remaining children can only be sent to the thatched hut first.

Inside the courtyard of the thatched house, the dim lights flickered, illuminating the sleepy faces of Zhang Liucui and Zeng Xiaoyu.

They had just been awakened by Lin Congyun's eagerness, and their sleepiness had not yet completely faded away.

Zhang Liucui rubbed her eyes and tried to wake herself up: "Mom, why are you here at this time?"

"Come and help, take the children inside."

Just now, Lin Congyun fed these children some spiritual spring water, thinking that the second prince had fed them poison, so he used the spiritual spring water to relieve the pain first.

Unexpectedly, after feeding the children the spiritual spring water, all the children either fainted or fell asleep.

More than a dozen children all collapsed in Lin Congyun's arms, catching her off guard.

Zeng Xiaoyu quickly ran out of the house. Seeing this, she was also stunned: "Mom, what happened to them?"

"Carry him in first."

Lin Congyun, Zhang Liucui, together with Zeng Xiaoyu and others, worked together to carry more than a dozen children into the thatched hut one by one.

Only after they were all put on the bed did the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhang Liucui watched from the side, somewhat puzzled: "Mom, where did these children come from?"

"He was kidnapped just like them." Lin Congyun said, pointing to another room.

At that time, the thatched hut that Lin Congyun chose was considered large, with a total of five rooms.

Including the few children who came here earlier, there was barely enough room for them to stay.

"I didn't expect that so many children would suffer the same fate." Zhang Liucui couldn't help but sigh.

Zeng Xiaoyu sighed: "Yes, people are evil, and I don't know how anxious their parents must be."

"Mom, what should we do next?" Zhang Liucui asked.

Lin Congyun pondered for a moment and said, "Let's settle these children first, and then we can find a way to contact their families."

The two nodded: "This is the only way."

After the three of them settled the children, they went to rest.

After a night of tossing and turning, everyone was exhausted.

The next morning, Lin Congyun woke up at daybreak.

She got up and walked into the room, looking at the children who were still sleeping, her heart full of worry.

Although these children have been temporarily settled, their families must be found as soon as possible so that they can be reunited as soon as possible.

However, the prefect of Yong'an County is the second prince's man, so it is inevitable that he will find someone to kidnap these children.

We have to think of a foolproof plan.

Since the governor of Yong'an County is the second prince's man, then we should replace him.

Lin Congyun thought, why not bring the county governor into the space to work?

However, the county magistrate is an official appointed by the imperial court, and if he disappears mysteriously, it will attract the attention of the imperial court.

Otherwise, it would be too risky to kill the county magistrate directly. If someone finds out, it would alert the enemy.

Lin Congyun fell into deep thought, his brows furrowed.

At this moment, Zeng Xiaoyu walked in, and seeing Lin Congyun's worried look, she couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what are you thinking about?"

Lin Congyun came back to his senses and sighed: "I was thinking about these children."

Zeng Xiaoyu also showed a worried look when she heard this: "Yes, these children are so pitiful. It would be great if they could be reunited with their parents sooner."

As they were talking, Zhang Liucui came in with a bowl of hot porridge in her hand: "Mom, Third Sister-in-law, you haven't had breakfast yet, drink some porridge to fill your stomach first."

Lin Congyun and Zeng Xiaoyu took the porridge, took a sip, and immediately felt their stomachs warmer.

After breakfast, Lin Congyun suddenly thought of a way to scare Zhao Tianqian in the secret room.

Her eyes lit up and she had an idea.

Since we can't kill the county magistrate or make him disappear, we might as well just turn him into a madman.

How can a madman be a county magistrate?
