After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor

"Boss Pan, don't be so anxious. Come up and talk." Wan Ning invited him to the stage and introduced him to the audience: "This is the boss of Pan's Trading - Pan Wenxi. Please welcome him with applause."

Oops, I accidentally became the host. Wan Ning quickly adjusted her state and continued to introduce to Boss Pan: "I know you are anxious, Boss Pan, but don't worry, this is the second thing I want to talk about. Although the victims' affairs have been properly handled, the affairs of Sangcheng County Magistrate Liu Xueyu have not been clarified. This good official who pleaded for the people was found dead in a deserted mountain. In order to investigate this matter, the relevant personnel and remains will be sent to Nanye for examination soon."

There was another burst of surprised sounds from the crowd, and everyone looked at each other in indignation.

"Princess, Lord Liu is indeed a good official, but what does this have to do with my prize?"

"Master Pan, you may not know this! In this grain-raising activity, everyone contributed a lot of money and property, many of which were valuable but useless. Most of them have been returned to their original owners, but there are some that cannot be found for the time being, such as a pair of jade bottles and a few brocade quilts."

Hearing the word "Jinbei", the people below knew that they were being targeted. They lowered their heads guiltily and listened to Wan Ning's explanation: "All items that cannot be found are recorded on this list."

Everyone looked up and saw the princess holding a piece of paper. She unfolded the paper and waved it in front of everyone to make sure everyone knew of its existence before handing it to Pan Wenxi, adding, "Since it is not appropriate to keep it with me, I would like to ask Boss Pan to copy the contents and post them everywhere to help them find their owners. When one is found, cross it out. When the case is investigated, if there are still unfound items, Boss Pan can choose three of them to keep privately; if there are less than three items left, the emperor will reward the others. They will be awarded together with the prize for donating grain. What do you think, Boss Pan?"

Pan Wenxi thought that this deal was a good deal, so he was naturally very happy and agreed without hesitation.

It was a good opportunity to publicize the ownerless items. The matter was resolved with a simple move. Wan Ning stood on the stage and observed the situation in the crowd. She saw a man in gray clothes with his head down trying to squeeze out of the crowd.

This person was very suspicious, so he winked at the mother-in-law who had been waiting outside the crowd. The mother-in-law, who had been waiting on the side, brought Douzi closer and did not forget to send signs to others.

While he was waiting, Douzi inadvertently blocked his way, and after seeing his appearance clearly, he let him go.

"Hey, where are you going?" Before the man in gray could react, he was hugged from behind, with his hands clasped tightly in front of his chest. He was unable to move at all and could not see the person behind him.

This is a small alley, and few people usually pass by here. I never expected that someone would be waiting for me here. The man in gray was anxious to get away and report back. He pretended to cooperate and asked in a gentle voice: "I am just a passerby. Did you recognize the wrong person?"

The man behind him didn't reply, but just made a "hehe" sound, which made the gray-clothed man even more confused. The gray-clothed man still asked, "Why don't you come and see for yourself, young man? I'm really just a passerby. It's not a big deal to arrest me, but don't let it interfere with your important business, young man?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the big hand holding him loosen up, so he took the opportunity to hit the man's abdomen with his arm and ran forward in panic to get out of the man's arms. But before he took a few steps, it seemed as if an eagle flew straight towards him from behind, like a strong bear pressing him down.

At this time, the man no longer pretended, and because of the pain in his body, he yelled: "Who dares to bully your grandfather? I'm going to call someone to catch you," and then he shouted desperately: "Help, help, someone is committing a crime."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the man on his back panicking. He was just about to continue shouting in triumph, feeling proud that his trick had worked. At this moment, a mother-in-law's voice came from behind him: "Stop making so much noise. Tie him up and take him away. Be quick."

After receiving the order from Granny, Douzi quickly trapped the man, carried him on his shoulders easily, and excitedly complained to Granny, "Granny, this man is as light as a chick."

The mother-in-law was also anxious at the moment and didn't bother to listen to what he said. She just covered the person on her shoulders with a piece of clothing and took him away through the path.

When the gray-clothed man woke up again, his eyes were still covered, but fortunately he could see something through the sunlight. He looked around and figured out what was going on: this was a dilapidated temple, the ground was covered with straw, and there was no one around. He lay down quietly, not daring to make a sound, and fumbled on the ground to try to find a tool to untie the rope.

Outside the temple gate, Douzi was pacing back and forth waiting for Wan Ning's arrival. Unexpectedly, before Wan Ning could wait for the rest of the team to come back, the leader sighed when he saw his mother-in-law and complained, "That kid ran away after all."

"Which boy? The one in gray clothes has been tied up by Douzi and thrown in there!" asked the mother-in-law in confusion.

"Impossible, we saw him enter the mansion with our own eyes, how could he be caught by Douzi, Grandma, did you see it clearly?"

"What do you mean by seeing clearly?" Wan Ning, who arrived late, just happened to hear their conversation. She didn't panic after learning what happened, and asked tentatively, "Did you see clearly? Which mansion did he go to?"

"Yes, it was the Du Mansion. He walked to the back door of the Du Mansion, said something to the housekeeper, and then went in. We brothers waited at the door for a long time but didn't see him come out. I guess he is someone from the mansion."

"Did he do anything strange on the way?"

The person who was following him thought for a while, then suddenly realized something and said, "Yes, he went to the government office on the way and stayed in front of the notice at the door for a while. This government office is not on the way to the Du Mansion, so I think there might be something wrong."

Wan Ning nodded slightly, took out some silver from her pocket and handed it to him, saying: "This clue is very good. Brothers, you have worked hard. I will use this little money to take the brothers to have a rest. Mother-in-law, let's go and see what's inside!"

The one inside was concentrating on groping on the ground, and had no idea someone was coming. Wan Ning stood by without making a sound, watching the show as he touched a pointed tile from the straw. He was struggling to sit up with joy and use the tile to cut the rope, but he didn't hold it firmly and fell to the ground, and the tile also fell out. The people watching the show couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He was anxious, and made a "wuwuwu" sound because of the stuffed food in his mouth. Seeing this, Wan Ning reached into his clothes and took the cloth out of his mouth, but his face was still covered.

Suddenly I was able to speak again, and I felt much more relaxed, and I started to talk a lot: "Excuse me, why did you tie me up? Is there any misunderstanding?"
