"I... What did you do? " Wangchuan crossed his hands and sat down on a chair. He seemed to be at a loss. His pair of beautiful black eyes were filled with doubt.

"Right." The Prefect, sitting opposite to Wangchuan, took a cup of tea from the side and used the tea lid to lightly caress the tea leaves. "Madam might not know this, but this fact has troubled this old man for a long time."

Wu Chuan's interest was piqued. He leaned forward slightly, but he still didn't understand.

Seeing her curiosity, the Prefect smiled and continued, "I have to start from two years ago."

Two years ago, in the surrounding counties, every month, there would be a few young girls missing from the more remote areas of the city. Some of them had just reached puberty, while some of them had just reached puberty.

The number of people missing increased, and the complaints of the citizens towards the government began to accumulate. They had come to the government gates to cause trouble several times, so no matter what, they had to account for it.

Two months ago, someone sent an official letter to the emperor. The emperor was furious and sent him to investigate this matter, giving him three months time, or else he would have to face the emperor head over!

The prefecture overseer traveled through the night on horseback. Originally, he had only traveled half a month's journey, but he had traveled for less than ten days.

After a week of no progress, there were only new entrants and no further progress.

Just as he was about to leave home and was at a loss for what to do, he suddenly heard someone from the government say that the case had been solved.

When the Prefect heard that they had hurried to the yamen in a hurry, he was still a step too late. When he heard that it was one of the people caught by the brothel's east factory, he came to try his luck.

How could he not be excited?!

The Prefect laughed exceptionally happily, but it was unknown if it was for the sake of saving his head, or because he had saved the group of people's happiness.

He felt extremely relaxed in his heart, but he still asked with doubt in his voice, "Madam, by the way, why did you come to the brothel?"

Forgetfulness: "..."

Wu Chuan pursed his lips and pretended to be careless. He coughed and didn't look at him.

Could she say that it was a coincidence?

"I was just passing by." Wu Chuan burst into laughter. The matter of Mo Yun being sold here was not something that could be known by more people, lest it ruin her reputation.

After all, Mo Yun was still an unmarried woman, so if news of this got out … He didn't dare to think about it.

Seeing that he still wanted to ask more, he quickly changed the topic, "Prefect, I see that most of these girls are young and don't have a good family background. Most of them were bought here, so I hope that you can handle this properly."

"That's only natural," The Prefect had a proud look on his face, "This lowly official had specially sent people to protect the safety of at least one side of the kingdom since a long time ago. and I hope to be able to save more people. "

"The Prefect is a good judge, and is always looking out for the people. It is the good fortune of the people. " Wu Chuan praised with certainty.

The word "blessing" might have pleased him, and the Prefect's mustache quivered with his smile, like an old urchin's.

"I really should be thanking you Madam. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know when I would have been able to solve this case!" The Prefect stood up and bowed to the Forgetfulness of the River of Forgetfulness.

Wangchuan noticed that it was getting late outside, and he was shocked. He stood up and bid farewell to Liu Daoyao.

Noticing that Wangchuan was in a hurry to return, Liu Daoyan did not stop him.

"..."

When Su He brought Mo Yun back, Wei Yi had just finished dealing with his business.

As the sky gradually grew darker, every household outside began to light their lamps and cook. The fiery lanterns were still hung high up on the door, and the candlelight was gently swaying in the incoming wind. A crescent moon quietly climbed into the sky, and the sparse stars were especially conspicuous in the sky.

Wei Yi habitually walked towards Wu Chuan's courtyard. It had been so long, so he should be returning soon.

After a while, he saw Su He carrying a girl into the restaurant from afar.

Su He nodded respectfully at him from a distance. It could be considered a greeting.

Wei Yi waved his hand in greeting.

He knew that the one in Su He's arms was Mo Yun. Before Su He came back, he had already greeted him.

But... Were their injuries all this severe?

Wei Yi looked in the direction that Su He had left in before changing his direction and hurriedly catching up to him.

Su He did not dare to stay for a moment. As soon as he entered the door, he did not care about the etiquette and gently placed Mo Yun on the bed. His movements were filled with caution.

Wei Yi stood outside the door and did not enter. The doctor, who had been waiting inside the mansion, quickly followed Su He into the house.

Men and women were different, so Su He had no choice but to leave due to his status. Wei Yi stood outside the door with him, waiting.

Waiting was the hardest thing of all, every minute and every second was filled with anxiety.

After following him for such a long time, Wei Yi had never seen him like this before …

His eyes were filled with emotion, and they were dim and lifeless.

Wei Yi sighed as he watched Yun Che patiently endure, as though he had been silent for a long time. He patted Yun Che's shoulder helplessly as he silently bestowed him with some strength.

After a long while, Su He's face turned cold as he pleaded, "Qian Jin, I have some matters to take care of. Please allow me."

Although Wei Yi didn't know what he was going to do, he sighed and let him do as he pleased.

He understood Su He's personality, and he also understood the thoughts in his heart.

If he was lying there now, he would probably do something even more uncontrollable.

Some things, some people, he saw all of them...

The mansion was brightly lit. When Wu Chuan lifted the carriage's curtain and got off, he saw the tall and sturdy man standing at the door. When he saw her get off, he walked towards her at a leisurely pace and extended his hand.

Wangchuan's hand came down from the car and he chuckled as he looked at Wei Yi. "Why are you standing at the door? As for Mo Yun, are you back yet? "

Wei Yi smoothed back the hair at the side of her forehead. "It's in the house."

"What about the doctor?" He picked up his skirt and ran to the house where Mo Yun lived.

Wei Yi wanted to pull her back, but to no avail. He could only exhort, "You have to slow down." She's not so good. "

Wangchuan didn't hear the sound of the wind in his ears and the eager feeling in his heart. He pushed open the door and entered the room. The smell of medicine filled his nostrils.

Wu Chuan frowned as he held his breath, waiting for himself to get used to the smell of the bitter medicine that filled the room.

Because of the wound on her back, Mo Yun could not lie on the bed. A servant girl had given her some ointment.

The visual impact was accompanied by the taste impact, causing her eyes to hurt. For a moment, Wu Chuan's eyes were filled with a dense mist.

Wei Yi did not enter. He simply stood at the door and watched as she stood there for a long time before directly pulling her out.

Wu Chuan let him pull her to the nearest study room. Wei Yi released her hand, and in the next second, Wu Chuan suddenly threw himself into his embrace, tears constantly crashing down his face. Soon, a piece of clothing on his chest was drenched.

A warm feeling of wetness came from his chest, causing Wei Yi's unwillingness to part from the bottom of his heart to almost spill out.
