After hearing what Xiaoqing said, the few bailiffs felt even more embarrassed. He had been lacking for so many years, but his perception wasn't as good as a little girl's.

After Luo Lingwei listened to the two's analysis, she nodded and said, "In that case, what secrets does this Yao Fang have? These people want to find them, but they can't reveal them. That's why they kidnapped Yao Fang's child and turned the scene into a burglary."

Thinking of this, Luo Lingwei turned thoughtful and then said to several officials, "This case is of great importance. You can temporarily close the relevant files and report it to your superior at the yamen. But, do not mention us."

After a few people received their orders, they left. At this time, Luo Lingwei and the others had also finished looking at the scene. There was no reason for them to stay any longer, so they too left the scene.

After returning to the inn, Luo Lingwei had been pondering what exactly was in Yao Fang's possession that was worth him sending so many people to find her.

After thinking for a long time, he was still unable to come up with a plan. In the end, he could only give up on that idea. The most important thing right now was to find Yao Fang's child as soon as possible.

At dinner time, Little White brought in the dinner. After Luo Lingwei finished her meal, she sat in her room feeling very uncomfortable, so she sauntered to the garden at the back of the inn.

It was already late autumn, and the night was cold, especially in this twin rivers. Upon arriving in this world, the cold wind grew colder. Luo Lingwei raised her head and looked at the sky full of frost. She could not help but feel somewhat disappointed.

He could not help but recall his own life, sighing sorrowfully in his heart. He was just an ordinary model. Although he could not be considered rich or powerful, he was still considered well-dressed and a small capitalist.

Yet now, for some inexplicable reason, esteemed wangfei had become a powerful imperial court official. Although she had a tyrannical handsome prince as her husband, the two of them had barely lived a peaceful life in the midst of their marriage. They were either competing with the emperor for wisdom or fighting bravery, or taking care of Ye Lianhe's two nephews.

Luckily, he had almost died here several times. Although he had grown up quite a bit in the past few years and had enjoyed a wealth that he could not enjoy in his original world, he was no longer the little girl that he was afraid of even when seeing a little worm. Now, even if someone were to die in front of her, Luo Lingwei wouldn't even blink her eyes.

After sitting in the yard for a while, Luo Lingwei felt a little cold. A pair of small hands handed her a fox fur coat.

Only after Luo Lingwei had put on this fox fur coat did she feel much warmer.

"I hope that the Empress will not overwork herself."

After Xiaoqing handed the fox fur coat over, Lil 'White brought a cup of hot tea to her. "Empress, it's getting late. I hope you can rest early."

Luo Lingwei nodded and said, "I understand." After sending the two away, she sat for a while and then went back to her room to rest.

The next morning, a secret letter came from the innkeeper saying that he had found traces of Yao Fang's child. Yesterday evening, he had seen a child leaving the city. From the looks of it, it was very similar to the Yao Fang family's child.

Hearing this, Luo Lingwei and the rest did not wait for breakfast and headed straight for the location indicated by the informant. Not long after, they left Shuangjiang City.

Outside of Shuangjiang City, there were many temples on the mountain not far away from the dock. This place was rich in goods and resources, and two rivers had already built wharves. Therefore, in order to protect the families who had entered the water and the business of the wharves, many temples had been built here, among which were water gods of all kinds and shapes.

After they left the city, they were stupefied. They had originally thought that even though there was a pier outside the city, no matter how prosperous it was, it was impossible for it to compare to the city. However, he had forgotten that this was the Shuangjiang River. There were at least four or five docks on both sides of the river, and the people here were wealthy, so the bustling level of the docks was even more prosperous than in the city.

After leaving the city, they had already forgotten which road to take. People came and went, and he almost squeezed them to death. Helpless, they could only return back the way they came from. However, when he was halfway there, he saw a Daoist holding onto a child, pushing and shoving them towards the direction of the Water King's Temple.

From the scolding of the Daoist Priest, the few of them understood that this child was a thief. Last night, while there was no one in the temple, he had sneaked into the temple, first eating breakfast prepared for tomorrow's guests in the kitchen, then sneaking into the Wishing Pool and stealing the coin that the pilgrims had thrown down. Later on, he sneaked into the backyard and tried to steal a turtle from the pond, but the turtle bit his hand. This scream shocked the Daoist Priest in the temple.

Although the child was small, he was extremely nimble. With a quick leap, he slipped out of the temple door. Originally, the Daoist Priest in the temple had already given up. He stomped his feet towards the direction the child left and cursed for a while before returning to his bed. Unexpectedly, the Daoist who went out to buy things this morning saw someone selling turtles at the pier. He went up to take a look and was so angry that his nose was crooked. That turtle was really a turtle lost in the water king's temple.

In that case, why did the Daoist recognize the turtle? It turned out that the turtles in the Water King's Temple were all bought from a Pyncheon merchant. They looked very strange. In the entire Xichuan County, only the Water King's Temple had this kind of turtle. Therefore, they called these turtles Spirit Claw.

Hearing this, Luo Lingwei thought to herself that this child was truly mischievous. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at the child. However, he suddenly discovered that the child looked very similar to the person he was looking for.

At this time, Zhang Long and the others also realized that something was amiss. Without waiting for Luo Lingwei's order, they had already stopped that Taoist.

"This Taoist." Zhang Long bowed to the Taoist.

The Daoist man suddenly noticed that there was a burly man blocking his way. He paused for a moment before asking, "Benefactor, may I ask what you need to do to block this poor man's way?"

Zhang Long smiled and said, "Dao leader, this little one has some connections with this little one. I hope you can forgive him this time. This little one will apologize to Dao leader on his behalf."

Zhang Long said as he handed a piece of silver over to the Daoist. The Daoist man looked at the child, then looked at the silver in his hand, and immediately smiled at Zhang Long: "Haha, Benefactor must be joking. Young Benefactor is a naughty person, I hope that you can discipline me. This Penniless Priest will take his leave. "

After the Daoist left, Zhang Long held the child's arm tightly, afraid that the child would run away, and brought the child to Luo Lingwei's side.

Luo Lingwei looked at the child and saw traces of blood at the corners of his clothes. She thought to herself, This is the child. He immediately asked, "Child, let me ask you, what is your relationship with Yao Fang?"
