Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

The dog is lost? Xie Qingli was shocked.

The dog was about seven or eight years old. He was very smart and seldom went out often. How could he suddenly get lost?

"Boss, you are finally here!" Shi Tou, the leader of the beggars, walked quickly in from outside the door. When he saw Xie Qingli, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Xie Qingli asked hurriedly, "How did the dog get lost?"

Sadness flashed in Shitou's eyes. He whispered, "The day before yesterday, the older ones of us went out as usual, leaving the younger ones to look after the house. While they were playing at the gate, a man passed by. He stopped and looked at all the children. When he saw the dog, he suddenly grabbed the dog, jumped over the wall, and flew away. The remaining children were frightened and cried."

"It wasn't until the evening when we came back from outside that we realized the dog was missing. We all went out to look for it day and night for the past two days, but we searched almost everywhere and found nothing."

Xie Qingli frowned. Could that man be a human trafficker? But it sounded like he had done it on the spur of the moment. She pressed on, "How old is that man? What does he look like? Are there any obvious characteristics?"

Shitou shook his head lightly and said helplessly, "All I know is that he's a tall, unfamiliar man in his twenties. These kids are too young to provide any more useful information."

Xie Qingli nodded slightly, frowning and saying, "I don't know if that person is a human trafficker, and whether he will come back again. It's a bit unsafe for you to continue staying here. Last time I said I could take you to stay with my master. Do you want to go now?"

She paused and said softly, "My master has some helpers who can help find the dog."

Shitou was very conflicted. They had lived here for many years and had long regarded this place as their home.

Most of them are children from poor families, some cruelly abandoned by their parents, and some orphans with no one to rely on. They have barely survived to this day by relying on the warmth of a group.

Their lives are already hard enough, why would anyone want to harm them?

Shitou turned to look at the shivering children, their eyes full of fear. He no longer hesitated and nodded to Xie Qingli.

Xie Qingli heaved a long sigh of relief. She immediately told the children to pack up their things, hired a few carriages, and drove towards the farm outside Beijing.

In a village outside Beijing, more than a dozen half-grown children were sitting neatly in a room. Zou Ping, dressed in dark blue clothes, was talking incessantly as he was teaching the children the skills of gathering information.

When Zou Ping heard the doorman come to announce that Xie Qingli had arrived, he immediately stopped teaching and walked out of the room humming a little tune.

But as soon as he walked into the yard, he saw a dozen children of different sizes standing beside Xie Qingli, and Zou Ping was stunned.

He walked quickly to Xie Qingli's side and said with a low chuckle, "I haven't seen you serve as my disciple for a few days, but you've been causing trouble for me all day long!"

Xie Qingli grabbed Zou Ping's sleeve and whispered, "Master, these are all poor children. Master, you should do more work if you are capable! Besides, there are a few good ones among them. Master will definitely like them."

She waved at Chunya, who immediately took out a brocade box and handed it to Xie Qingli. Xie Qingli smiled and placed it in Zouping's hand, saying cunningly, "This is a gift from the disciple to the master."

Zou Ping opened the brocade box and smelled it, and found that it was the finest Fuyao Fairy Ganoderma. The corners of his mouth curled up high, and he shouted to the children who were hiding nearby watching the fun: "Zou Er, Zou San, come and settle these new brothers." Immediately, two children ran over and took the beggars away.

Zouping brought Xie Qingli to a quiet and elegant room. He took out the tea leaves from the brocade box and couldn't wait to make a pot of tea.

After arriving in Shengjing City, Zouping's behavior was completely different from when he was in Jiazhou Prefecture. Xie Qingli couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Thinking of Han Jue, she couldn't help but ask, "Master, is there any news from Han Jue?"

Zou Ping sipped his tea contentedly and chuckled, "Things are starting to show some signs of improvement. We should have a result in a couple of days! Han Jue and Zou Yi did a great job on this mission."

There was a hint of joy in Xie Qingli's bright eyes. Who exactly was Song Zhaoxing's mother? This mystery that had troubled her for two lifetimes was about to be revealed, and she was actually a little excited.

"What happened to those kids just now?" Zou Ping asked casually.

Xie Qingli told Zou Ping the general situation of the beggars. Thinking of the dog, she picked up the paper and pen on the table and quickly sketched the dog's appearance.

She handed the drawing paper to Zou Ping and said softly, "Master, this child's name is Gou'er, and he is also a beggar. He was suddenly kidnapped the other day. Please help me find him."

Zou Ping picked up the portrait of Gou'er and looked at it carefully. He sighed in his heart that his good disciple's painting skills were not bad, but a little worse than his Jiaojiao.

He nodded and said, "I will immediately arrange for Zou Er and the others to go find it. This will be a good opportunity to test their learning achievements."

Xie Qingli smiled and said, "Thank you, Master, but I need to remind Zou Er and the others to be careful, as the other party is very likely to use martial arts."

After talking for a while, Xie Qingli stood up to say goodbye, but when he reached the gate of the courtyard, Shitou suddenly caught up with him. He said in a deep voice: "Boss, I want to go back with you!"

"Why? Isn't this place good?" Xie Qingli was a little confused.

Shitou lowered his head slightly and whispered, "It's great here. I feel relieved to leave them here, so I want to go back and guard our home. Otherwise, if Gou'er escapes and can't find us, he'll cry. Even though he's a man, he cries like a girl!"

Xie Qingli was silent for a moment. She wanted to tell Shi Tou that Gou'er would most likely never come back, but she didn't say it in the end. Instead, she took Shi Tou back to Shengjing City.

As soon as they entered the city, they noticed a change in the atmosphere. The streets were filled with people surging in one direction, making it difficult for the carriage to move forward.

Shitou quickly jumped off the carriage and stopped an elegantly dressed middle-aged man to ask him about his situation. After a quick exchange, he came running back and said, "Boss, these people are all going to Caishikou to watch the fun. The government has posted a notice that two families, surnamed Huang and Kang, are plotting rebellion. They've been sentenced to death, with their entire families executed at three quarters past noon."

Xie Qingli's pupils shrank slightly. Chu Yuncang had just told her last night that the case of Huang Dai and Kang Huaiyuan in Jiazhou had not yet been concluded, and the sieges of the Third and Fourth Princes' residences were all caused by this case. Why was the case that was still unresolved yesterday being carried out today?

Shitou turned around to look at the growing crowd and whispered, "Boss, how about we go and see what's going on?"

Xie Qingli looked at Chunya and said softly, "During the execution, blood will splatter everywhere and heads will roll. It will be a terrifying scene. Are you sure you dare to watch it?"

Chunya was so scared that her face turned pale and she shook her head vigorously.

Shitou puffed out his chest and said loudly, "I am a real man, I won't be scared!"

Xie Qingli curled her lips, jumped off the carriage, told the driver to take a detour to send Chunya back to the Marquis' Mansion, and then joined the crowd with Shitou...
