Shengjing Noble

Chapter 266 Extraordinary

Fu Wuyang looked back at the dungeon and asked, "This doesn't look like an ordinary prison."

Su Lanyin nodded and answered subconsciously: "This is the dungeon where Jiang Tao imprisoned women. I did some research and found that many women have disappeared in Qiu County in recent years..."

"You mean, this is also related to the missing persons case?"

"Yes, I think so. The more disasters there are, the less valuable people's lives are. Some families will sell their daughters in exchange for food. I learned this from an elder sister."

It was the woman she rescued last time.

"But is there any evidence?"

"I'm afraid there's no evidence, but there may be witnesses."

"Who?"

"Wang Tao! The former head of police, he was the one who captured women here and locked them up in this dungeon when I came. If we can catch him, I believe Your Majesty will have plenty of ways to make him confess the truth."

Fu Wuyang didn't expect that a mere fourteen-year-old girl could have such a meticulous mind.

Moreover, her speech and behavior clearly showed a maturity that was not in line with her age.

People say she is cunning, but she has never calculated her own gains and losses, and has always been planning for the people.

He looked at her, momentarily lost in thought.

Su Lanyin thought of something and asked quickly, "By the way, my lord, when can your people bring reinforcements?"

"I believe they will be able to arrive in three days at the earliest."

"That's great. I also sent a pigeon letter to my second brother to explain the current situation in Qiu County. I think he and mother will definitely find a way to support us, so we can't just sit there and wait for death in the next three days. We have to find a way to understand the situation of the bandits."

"You just stay here obediently. It is not your place as a woman to interfere in this matter. I have my own plan."

"Your Majesty, please do not act on your own. We are all on the same side now. If anyone is exposed, the people will suffer as well."

"Don't worry, I'm not as useless as you think."

"you……"

Just as Su Lanyin was about to say something, a woman came running over.

"Miss, something's wrong! Sister Wen's daughter has a fever, please go and take a look at her!"

"fever?"

What you fear will come true. Su Lanyin hurriedly stood up and did not forget to remind Fu Wuyang before leaving.

"Don't mess around, my lord. I'll go take a look and be back soon."

Fu Wuyang frowned, feeling puzzled.

"You are just a little girl. How can you be so confident to say such things to me?"

"When will you come to discriminate against age? Anyway, you have to listen to me now!"

She didn't care whether he was a royal relative or not. In her eyes, this moment was extraordinary and no one was allowed to hold her back.

Su Lanyin followed the little girl to the third floor. Sister Wen was the woman she rescued in the dungeon. At this moment, she was holding a baby who was only a few days old with an anxious look on her face.

"Miss Lanyin, you are finally here! Please save my daughter. I have already lost my husband and I cannot lose her again!"

As he said this, Ye Wen was about to kneel down holding his daughter in his arms. Seeing this, Su Lanyin immediately helped her up.

"Sister Wen, please get up quickly and let me see the child."

"Look..."

Ye Wen eagerly handed the child over. He was shaking with fear and tears were falling uncontrollably. He looked extremely sad.

Su Lanyin didn't bother to comfort her. She quickly held the child and sat cross-legged on the ground, then examined the child.

Fortunately, it was not a terminal illness, but the child became weaker and weaker due to lack of nutrition and hunger.

Ye Wen was not full and had no milk, so the child naturally was not full either. Many times she had no choice but to bite her fingers to let the child suck her own blood.

Unfortunately, this feeding caused the child to get an infection, which led to a fever.

But she had no choice. Qiu County was hit by a drought and even water was a scarce resource. She had nothing else except blood.

"Don't worry, have someone bring a bowl of porridge over and feed the child some soup first."

Su Lanyin also knew that a newborn baby had a weak spleen and stomach and could not eat rice porridge at all, but it was better to have some rice porridge than nothing, and it was not a bad thing to eat some rice oil.

"Sister Wen, you should also go and eat something quickly. Oh, and tell them that women whose children need to be breastfed can get more food."

Hearing this, the women around knelt down to express their gratitude.

"Thank you so much, young lady! Thank you so much, young lady..."

"You don't need to thank me. These grains were given by the imperial court. They were left for you by your last county magistrate at the risk of his life. If you want to thank someone, thank the imperial court or him."

The people kowtowed and expressed their gratitude.

Su Lanyin carried a lot of pills with her. She crushed the pills and soaked them in rice porridge to dilute them, and then fed them to the baby little by little.

These medicines are originally for several people. For such a young child, just a little bit is enough. Taking too much may damage the lungs, which is not good.

After a while, Nannan's temperature cooled down and she stopped crying. She nestled contentedly in Ye Wen's arms and fell asleep.

Seeing that her daughter was fine, she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.

"I thought... I thought... even my daughter would leave me... Miss Lanyin, how can we live without you? Wuwuwu..."

She leaned against the wall and cried sadly.

The girl next to him also burst into tears: "I originally thought I might die at the hands of Wang Tao."

"Me too. Even if I'm not dead, I don't know where I was sold to."

"I have a cousin who was imprisoned in a dungeon by Wang Tao. My uncle finally gathered enough money to redeem her, but he said she had escaped and couldn't be found. In fact, she was sold by him!"

Su Lanyin asked: "Do you know who is behind Wang Tao? Or where most of those girls were sold to?"

"No one knows this. If they knew, someone would have gone to rescue him long ago," Ye Wen replied.

"That's right... It seems that the only way to find those women who were sold is to arrest Wang Tao."

Su Lanyin stood up and returned to the first floor, but she couldn't find Fu Wuyang anywhere. She had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Where is your prince?" she asked, grabbing a guard at random.

"The prince said he had to go out to do something, so don't worry, young lady, he won't be exposed."

"What? Why is he so disobedient? These bandits are different from ordinary people. They are really a worry!"

Su Lanyin came to the exit in a rage, but hesitated again.

If she left, what would happen to the people there? Although Su Sheng was there to help take care of them, how could he, a grown man, take care of those women?

What's more, there are many sick people who can't do without her.

After thinking it over, Su Lanyin had no choice but to give up and walk back.

How could Fu Wuyang, such a big man and the King of Freedom, be easily captured by bandits?

He must have something important to do when he left.

Thinking of this, Su Lanyin reluctantly put her mind at ease and went to the second floor to check on the situation of the people.

After treating several elderly people, it was already late at night and there were no more footsteps outside.

But the quieter it was, the more uneasy she felt.
