After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy

Many children were lost in Yutong Town. The oldest was only thirteen years old, and the youngest was only three or four years old. Moreover, the missing persons were brothers and sisters and little girls, not a single boy.

Some families don't have a boy to carry on the family line, so they either buy one or steal one, so boys are the most likely to be coveted.

But this time it was different. The missing children were all girls and boys, and there were also a few sisters. This made people think of something dirty.

"What's going on? How could my Lan'er disappear?" Wang Qiumei cried until her voice was hoarse. Her child was growing up, and if she was kidnapped by someone with bad intentions, her life would be over.

Ye Hongsheng seemed to have aged several years overnight. Lan'er was his most beloved child and also his youngest. He held her in his hands for fear of dropping her, and held her in his mouth for fear of her melting.

But unexpectedly, it suddenly disappeared.

In order to find their child, they all came to the government office, wanting to report to the authorities and ask them to help them find the child.

The magistrate of Yutong Town is still Liu Jiao, but he will soon be transferred and promoted.

In the last days of his term, so many children disappeared that he was so anxious that he couldn't eat.

If he can't find these children, it means he is incompetent, and his plan to transfer them will probably be stopped.

Ye Xunqing and his friends did not report to the police, and the few people in the government were not enough to find the child.

Xie Hui's people have already gone to look for them, but those who kidnapped the children seem to have disappeared from the face of the earth and cannot be found at all.

How did they hide the truth from the world with dozens of children?

"This is simply outrageous. They actually dare to do such a thing under my nose. I think they are tired of living!" Xie Hui had never been so angry before.

Originally, their dinner invitation was a good thing, but they didn't expect that the group of human traffickers would take this opportunity to kidnap children. Many people thought that they were in cahoots with the traffickers and deliberately gathered all the villagers there so that the children would be left alone.

Xie Hui couldn't swallow this, but Xie Lingyin told him not to argue with the villagers because this matter was originally related to them.

If the adults were at home, the child would definitely not be abducted.

After a night, Ye Xunqing had calmed down. He couldn't be anxious. The more anxious he was, the harder it would be to find it.

"With so many children being abducted, there must be some clues left behind." Ye Xunqing clenched his hands. "They definitely couldn't have walked with the children the entire time. They must have had a carriage or some other means of transportation."

"It's the dry season, and it's also the time for spring plowing. Boats can't navigate the Peng River, so they probably won't take the water route." Feng Jingheng analyzed, "If they want to take the children out, a carriage is indeed the best option. Those people probably won't hire too many carriages, and they'll probably cram a lot of children into one carriage."

"If there are too many children in the carriage, it will be too heavy." Ye Xunqing stood up and said, "We can chase them on horseback, take the main road, and divide them into several routes. They are carrying children, so they will definitely not take the small road."

"Well, let's send some people to take the small road and try." Feng Jingheng said, "Thank you, Brother Xie, for your trouble."

Most of Xie Hui's men stayed in the town, and they were basically cavalrymen, who could set off immediately as long as he gave the order.

"Okay." Xie Hui went in person. "I'll go after her. I'll trouble you to take care of Zhizhi."

"No." Xie Zhiyan wanted to go too, his eyes filled with anger. "I want to go too. I want to tear the people who caught Xiaobai into pieces!"

"Zhizhi..." Xie Hui didn't want him to face these things, he was still young.

"I want to go!" Xie Zhiyan is not a delicate little flower. He learned martial arts not to strengthen his body, but to go into battle and kill the enemy.

"Okay." Xie Hui took Xie Zhiyan with him. If he didn't take him, he would have gone there secretly by himself.

Ye Xunqing and Feng Jingheng didn't know how to ride horses, so what they could do was to calm the sad villagers in the town first.

"Everyone, listen to me. I know you're worried. I'm worried too. My brother was also captured by them." Ye Xunqing's tone was filled with sadness. "But there's no point in making trouble here. Even if you get all the government officials out, they won't be able to find those children. They're no longer in town. If they were, our people would have found them long ago."

An old lady said, "Young man, what do you think we should do? I only have this one granddaughter. My son and his wife died early. My granddaughter and I have been dependent on each other for many years. I watched her grow up and get married, but suddenly she passed away? I have a miserable life!"

Ye Xunqing was heartbroken by what she said, "It's the same for me. My brother's father died when he was one month old. For so many years, I have been the one who fed him mouthful by mouthful. Life was hard in the past, and the child suffered with me for many years. Now life is better, but he hasn't enjoyed a few days of happiness yet..."

"We're not here to cause trouble, but we're really at our wit's end. We've lost both of our children!" one of the older brothers cried, "My wife has fainted because of this. If we can't find her children, I'm afraid she won't make it!"

"It's no use continuing to make trouble here. Let's all go and look for strangers in town. Someone must have seen them." Ye Xingqing wiped her tears and said, "So many people must need food and drink. Let's all go to the town and ask who sold food to these people."

When everyone heard this, they all dispersed to look for someone.

Ye Xunqing went to find Manager Xu to inquire about the news. That group of people had been here for more than just one or two days, and they must have lived in the same place before.

"I've heard about it, but I've never seen a large group of people together. Besides, there are quite a few foreigners coming and going in my inn every day, and I haven't noticed any strange people." Shopkeeper Xu was also unable to help.

"I did meet a few people with southern accents the other day," the table-cleaning boy said. "My hometown is also in the south, but my mother remarried and we moved north. I'm familiar with the accent of that group of people; they're from Wuzhou City."

"Wuzhou City?" Ye Xunqing noted the place down. "Are there any others?"

The young man said, "I don't know. They spoke with a southern accent, and I thought their accent was quite friendly, so I went up to them and said hello. After hearing my southern accent, they stopped speaking and started speaking Mandarin instead."

Ye Xunqing clenched his fists. "This group of people must have been discussing something. They were afraid others would find out, so they spoke in their local dialect. After being discovered by the staff, they switched to speaking Mandarin."

"Without delay, let's go to Wuzhou City first." Feng Jingheng made a quick decision, "We should also leave a letter for Brother Xie and the others. If they don't find the person, let them go to Wuzhou City as well."

"Then you two should be careful, the people in Wuzhou City are difficult to deal with." Although Wuzhou is the guy's hometown, he doesn't have much sense of belonging. If he couldn't survive there, why would his mother take him to remarry?

Ye Xunqing thanked him and said, "Thank you very much. We will keep an eye on it."

Wuzhou City is located in the southeast of Yutong Town and southwest of Pingzhou City. When Yutong Town was plagued by bandits, the old prince transferred troops from Wuzhou City.

Ye Xunqing and the other man could not ride a horse, so they could only harness a carriage to go to Wuzhou City.

A carriage is not as fast as a horse, but this is the only way they can do it.

The people Xie Hui sent failed to catch up with the missing children, and he himself was deceived by the wheel tracks.

It was a group of people heading to the capital, carrying some goods. He thought it was a carriage carrying children, so he chased after them and demanded the children's return with his sword.

As a result, those who were escorting the goods were also armed, and a fierce fight broke out between the two sides. Although Xie Hui won, he lost time.

"Damn it!" Xie Hui admitted that he was too excited. If he had asked clearly at the beginning, he would not have taken action.

"Uncle, we really don't have any children in the car. We are delivering goods, how can we bring children with us?" The middle-aged man leading the group was about to cry. "Uncle, please let us go. Just tell me how much you want."

Xie Hui angrily said, "We are not bandits who come to rob people!"

"Sir, there are no traces of tire tracks ahead, so there must be no car." A guard came back to report.

Xie Hui waved him off and said, "Come on, let's go back and find another way."

When they returned to the town, Ye Xunqing and his team had already set out for two days.

"Wuzhou City?" Xie Hui's face was not very good. "If I remember correctly, the governor of Wuzhou, Guo Xiaotong, was a lecherous man with countless concubines at home."

"Damn it, that old bastard doesn't want to capture Xiaobai and take her as his wife, right?" Xie Zhiyan felt like killing someone.

Xie Hui didn't rest, "Let's go, let's go to Wuzhou now!"
