Marrying a Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the

She lowered her voice and said, "Sister, I am sure that the Yang Shen Pill is the harmful Five Stones Powder. My brother-in-law hasn't caught the culprit yet. If that person comes to the capital, I'm afraid it will cause trouble!"

Lin Yiwan's expression suddenly changed. She asked anxiously, "Did your brother-in-law tell you what the culprit looked like?"

Lin Xiaoruan replied: "It is said that he is a monk wearing a human skin mask and is good at disguise!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but gasp. She mused to herself, "This is not easy to find!"

Lin Xiaoruan frowned. "Not only is it hard to find him, he has so much silver in his hands, enough for him to spend for a while. If he hides, even if we dig deep into the ground, I'm afraid we won't be able to find any trace of him!"

Lin Yiwan's heart moved slightly. Men become bad when they have money, either gambling or visiting prostitutes. She could ask her uncle to check if there are any generous gamblers or prostitutes recently!

She didn't dare to delay and immediately took Lin Xiaoruan to the Lin Mansion.

At this time, Lin Ran had just returned and had not even taken off his official uniform.

He saw Lin Yiwan hurried over, thinking something had happened, and immediately approached with a serious expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Yiwan quickly spoke up, "Uncle, when you were out investigating cases recently, did you find anyone who was very generous with their money?"

Lin Ran couldn't help but laugh: "In the capital, there are many powerful people, and there are people who spend money generously every day. Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Lin Yiwan shook her head. "I'm talking about unfamiliar faces, those who have only recently appeared in the capital. Have you noticed?"

Lin Ran quickly calmed down and said, "No, tell your uncle what happened. Did someone escape from Suzhou City?"

Lin Yiwan nodded. "That's right. Tang Qizheng's stepmother spent over 100,000 taels of silver on a monk to buy a large amount of the poisonous Five Stone Powder, which was used to harm him. When Ah Yan went to catch him, he had already escaped!"

Lin Ran couldn't help but frown. "Five Stone Powder? The kind of poison that destroys people's minds and makes them addicted?"

Lin Yiwan said without hesitation: "Yes!"

Lin Ran paced back and forth with a serious expression. "In the gambling house and the brothel, I haven't seen any strangers spending money like water. The few powerful people who do exist are all on the Dali Temple's list!"

Lin Yiwan sighed helplessly, "It seems that he is indeed cunning and good at hiding his whereabouts!"

At this time, Lin Ran spoke again: "Recently, there have been several cases in the capital, saying that many boys have gone missing. I am currently investigating, but I still have no clue!"

Lin Yiwan was stunned: "Boy? How old is he?"

Before Lin Ran could reply, he saw the housekeeper rushing in to report, "Sir, the old lady of the Duke's Mansion and the young lady are asking to see you, saying that their two young sons are missing!"

Lin Yiwan quickly said, "Uncle, I'll go with you to see them!"

When they arrived at the front hall, they saw the young lady sobbing with tears in her eyes, while the old lady of the Duke's Mansion had an ugly face.

She angrily accused him, "What's the point of crying now? Didn't I warn you to instruct your servants and attendants to take good care of the two children wherever you go? Did you turn a deaf ear to my words?"

The young lady argued, "Mother, I didn't. I left not long ago. The Marquis's wife can testify for me. I just followed Luo Xuan to the Marquis's mansion to help propose marriage!"

The old lady scolded angrily: "If you help her, you will lose the only bloodline of our family. If anything happens to them, how can you face your husband and the ancestors of our Ye family?"

The young lady slapped her cheeks hard: "I was wrong, mother, I know I was wrong, isn't that enough?"

The old lady burst into tears: "Didn't I tell you that no matter what you do, I won't interfere? I just hope you can take good care of these two children. He is the inheritance of the Ye family!"

The young lady quickly knelt before Lin Ran and said, "Master Lin, please go and help us find those two children. If anything happens to them, I will die!"

Lin Ran quickly winked at Lin Yiwan, then quickly stepped forward to help the young lady up. She whispered soothingly, "Don't worry. First, tell me clearly, when did the children disappear?"

The young lady choked up and said, "After I returned home, I went to their room as usual. But I didn't expect that except for the two wet nurses who were unconscious, there was no sign of them. I was so scared that I quickly splashed cold water on them to wake them up, but they had no idea where the two young masters had gone!"

Lin Ran gasped when he heard this. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's the same case as the previous boys who went missing. They were also kidnapped from their home!"

Madam Ye was the first to ask, "Master Lin, those children haven't been found yet? There's no clue at all?"

Lin Ran shook his head obscurely: "No, he disappeared without a trace. I have already sent more people to investigate thoroughly, but I didn't expect that he would dare to commit crimes against the wind!"

The old lady's eyes were immediately filled with disappointment. She raised her cane and hit Madam Ye with it, saying, "If I had known you would lose my grandson, I would have taken them all to the manor. I thought you would take good care of them if they stayed at the Duke's Mansion!"

Madam Ye burst into tears: "I'm sorry, mother. I was wrong. Can't I just die now?"

After saying that, she ran out crying.

Lin Yiwan hugged her in time: "Mrs. Ye, calm down. You're happy to die, but what about the children? Are you going to leave them in danger? You have to help my uncle provide clues so that he can rush to rescue them!"

Madam Ye was at a loss and said, "I, I don't know any clues!"

Lin Ran frowned and said, "The boys who disappeared before were all taken to the Imperial Temple in the suburbs of Beijing to worship Buddha. Have you taken the children there as well?"

Madam Ye did not answer. Instead, the old lady spoke: "I took them there the day before yesterday. They are five years old now. I asked them to light a perpetual lamp for the ancestors of the Ye family!"

Lin Ran's eyes flashed with a bone-chilling coldness. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's the Imperial Temple!"

Lin Yiwan frowned. "Logically speaking, the Imperial Temple is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, so there shouldn't be any problems. Could it be that they were targeted when they went there, and they followed them all the way to the Duke's Mansion, looking for an opportunity to attack?"

Lin Ran nodded: "Your analysis is correct, but I still can't find the spy hiding in the Imperial Temple. It seems that I have to go there again to investigate!"

Lin Yiwan quickly came up with an idea. She said anxiously, "Uncle, aren't they targeting boys? I can let Zhan Mu and Zhan Xuan be bait!"

Lin Ran's expression suddenly changed. He interrupted anxiously, "No, Wanwan, how could you have such an idea? What if, what if!"

He turned around and saw Mrs. Ye and her mother-in-law, both of whom were filled with hope. The words came to his lips but he couldn't say them anymore.
