Chapter 169 Girl
Lu Yangyang left after saying just one sentence, then rushed out in a flurry.
Yan Yue wanted to follow, but seeing the children who had just been rescued, he couldn't bear to leave them. So he pointed to two people and said, "You two hurry up and follow Miss Lu. Don't let her be in danger!"
Once Lu Yangyang's figure was out of sight, he couldn't help but mutter, "She really never stops. Where does she get the energy to keep going all day long!"
Despite saying that, he still quickly directed people to help settle the children. Originally, once these children were found, they should have been sent to the local government as soon as possible. However, now that this case was no longer a case in a small county outside the city, it involved Qinglian Temple and would probably have to be handed over to Dali Temple for trial.
Yan Yue shook his head, but couldn't help feeling a little excited. Although he sometimes helped his cousin with some things, he always thought his cousin was too young and never entrusted him with important tasks.
This is the first time I've been involved in such a big case!
Not only do we need to settle these children, but we also need to send people to monitor the situation in the front yard to prevent any unusual activity from spreading from here to the front.
Meanwhile, Lu Yangyang had already run to the bustling market across the street, her eyes quickly scanning some corners, and accurately found the little beggar who was squatting on the ground.
She walked quickly over, patted the little beggar lightly on the shoulder, and winked at him.
The little beggar followed her to a secluded corner and asked timidly, "Sir, what do you need me for?"
"What's your name? Do you know Xiao Liuzi?" Lu Yangyang asked.
The little beggar looked at Lu Yangyang warily.
“Don’t misunderstand, I’m his friend. He told me he could ask you for help if he needed anything.” Lu Yangyang took out two gold leaves from her purse and handed them to him: “Go to Renxin Hall and tell Doctor Wen that his apprentice was beaten up at Chunfang Tower. Tell him to take two doctors there as soon as possible. Also, go and find out everything about Ah Liang at Chunfang Tower, the more detailed the better. If you find out his whereabouts, report it to Chunfang Tower immediately. I’ll come here to find you tonight.”
"Hey, hey, don't worry, sir. Everyone calls me Xiao Dong. All the beggars around here know me. You can find me anywhere." Xiao Dong looked at the gold leaf handed to him, his little dark face turned red with excitement, and he quickly took it with both hands, then brought it to his mouth and bit it.
He was so happy he could see his teeth and eyes, and suddenly became very enthusiastic towards Lu Yangyang.
"If you don't handle things properly, I'll send Xiao Liuzi to find you."
"Don't worry!"
Xiao Dong turned around and disappeared in a flash, like a mudfish.
After Lu Yangyang asked Xiao Liuzi for help last time, she also made this friend. This group of little beggars are organized all over the capital. They can quickly and efficiently inquire about information, do something, or keep an eye on someone.
Ah Liang hasn't come back since yesterday. He's either out having fun or doing something for Uncle Cheng. He's having an affair with that little Taoist nun, and he probably knows more than Uncle Cheng. We absolutely can't let him fall into someone else's hands.
After making the arrangements, Lu Yangyang went back to the street, bought some vegetarian buns and took them back. Those children hadn't eaten for a long time, so it was best not to let them eat meat directly.
As soon as she arrived at the backyard of Chunfang Tower, she bumped into Ying Xun, who was leading a group of people.
"Lord Ying? What brings you here?" Lu Yangyang asked in surprise.
Ying Xun was also quite surprised to see Lu Yangyang, "Miss Lu?"
Then he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I'm here because of the case, Miss Lu..."
"Is this a child abduction case? Young Master Yan and I were ordered by His Highness to come here to find people. We just found more than a dozen abducted children who were being held in the cellar. Lord Ying's arrival is just in time." As soon as Lu Yangyang heard about Qinglian Temple, she realized that this case was beyond the jurisdiction of the local magistrate. She did not expect His Highness to be so quick. They had just rescued the children when Lord Ying arrived.
It seems that His Highness had already sent someone to inform the Dali Temple before they set off.
"So it was Miss Lu who rescued them. Miss Lu is truly a woman of great spirit, not inferior to any man." Ying Xun made no attempt to hide his admiration for Lu Yangyang. If it weren't for Lu Yangyang, the case at the Cheng'en Duke's Mansion last time wouldn't have ended so easily.
If he hadn't known it was inappropriate, he would have made an exception and brought Lu Yangyang to the Dali Temple.
Lu Yangyang was a little embarrassed by his praise, and hurriedly led him into the door, handing the vegetarian buns she was carrying to Yan Yue: "Yan Yue, you can tell Lord Ying about the case. Also, I just found a little beggar named Xiao Dong to inquire about A Liang's whereabouts. If he comes to report, remember to have someone meet him."
Ignoring Ying Xun, Yan Yue grabbed her arm and asked, "Where are you going again?"
"I'll go back to His Highness. I'm leaving this to you." Lu Yangyang hurriedly pulled him away, then slipped into the house and called out, "Luyao!"
Green Jade turned to look at her with a look of surprise and hurried over: "Miss!"
"Come with me!" Lu Yangyang grabbed her arm and started walking out.
At this moment, besides Lü Yao, there were several maids and servants who had been doing rough work in the house, including Yuan Xing. However, Lu Yangyang acted as if she hadn't seen her at all.
Yuanxing couldn't help but look up several times, hoping that Lu Yangyang would call her name like before, but she didn't.
She watched helplessly as Lu Yangyang called out to others, watched others call Lu Yangyang "Miss Lu Yangyang," and watched Lu Yangyang leave with Lu Yao. Finally, she couldn't help but lower her head, her eyes reddening.
Lu Yangyang brought Lü Yao out and first went to see Gou Dan, instructing him to cooperate with the government's questioning and to have someone arrange for him to be sent home later.
Then she took Lüyao and prepared to leave Chunfang Tower, but after taking a few steps, she suddenly remembered something and turned back to find Yuanxing.
Yuan Xing's red eyes were still filled with tears. When she saw Lu Yangyang, she hurriedly raised her hand to wipe away her tears. She subconsciously wanted to call out "Miss," but after moving her lips, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Was your presence here arranged by Sheng Yunzhu?" Lu Yangyang asked.
Yuanxing paused for a moment, then quickly shook her head.
"What is the relationship between Sheng Yunzhu and the Fairy of Supreme Goodness?" Lu Yangyang asked again.
Yuanxing bit her lip and shook her head again, her voice barely audible: "I...I don't know..."
"Alright, in that case, I won't ask anymore."
Lu Yangyang withdrew her gaze, turned to Lü Yao and said, "Let's go."
The two left again, and Yuanxing could no longer hold back her tears. She wanted to say that she wanted to go back to her side, but she couldn't say anything. Her background destined Lu Yangyang to never keep her. She was too greedy.
Stepping out of the courtyard, Lu Yangyang led a horse and asked Lüyao, "Can you ride a horse?"
Green Jade hesitated for a moment, "I only know a little bit."
Lu Yangyang mounted his horse, then pulled her up behind him and made her sit on it: "Hold on tight!"
As soon as Lü Yao hugged her waist, Lu Yangyang pulled on the reins and sped off.
Lüyao had no choice but to hold her tightly.
Then he couldn't help but ask, "Miss, do you know Yuanxing? I heard that she made a mistake and was sent here as punishment by her master. She has a mother who is sick all year round, a blind grandmother, and a pair of young siblings. Her life must be quite difficult, but she is well-fed and delicate."
