Soon, Cao Zhengchun came back.
"Your Majesty, I have found out."
"The Barbarian God Festival of the Barbarians is coming, and a large number of children are needed as sacrifices. Therefore, the Barbarians will pay to buy from Xia and Liang, or launch wars to plunder."
"The Chaerhan tribe that was wiped out by us before could only be purchased from these black-hearted merchants in Xia because of the defeat in the war."
"They are from the Xia family in Fengyang City ahead. They took risks for huge profits. Moreover, over the years, the Xia family not only sold arms to the barbarians, but also provided intelligence, with the purpose of making money."
When Long Tian heard this, he instantly got angry. What a Xia family, eating from the inside and secretly communicating with the barbarians, this is really making money at the cost of life.
"How far is this place from Fengyang City?" Long Tian asked.
"Your Majesty, less than an hour."
"Since we have met, let's deal with it. Bring the people with us and go to Fengyang City."
Long Tian will never allow such a family that eats from the inside to exist.
Yan Yunqi stepped forward to control the man, and at the same time comforted the frightened child, and then headed towards Fengyang City.
At this time, many people had gathered in front of the city lord's mansion of Fengyang City.
"Sir, please save our children."
"Sir, please, the child is my life, please find a way."
A group of people cried very sadly. In just three days, nearly a hundred children in Fengyang City disappeared at once.
This sudden outbreak of a major case made Fengyang City Lord Liu Yan also anxious.
The assessment of officials in the North is still in progress. Such a big thing happened at this critical moment. How could Liu Yan not be anxious?
Once Fan Li knew about this, Liu Yan's future would be completely ruined.
"Xia Zhubo, how is the investigation going?"
Liu Yan is an official from outside, and his roots in the local area are not deep. In such an emergency, he can only pin his hopes on the local Xia family.
In Fengyang City, the Xia family is a local tyrant with deep roots. As long as they want to find someone, they will definitely find a way.
"Sir, my family leader has sent many people to look for him, but there is no news so far."
Xia Zhubo also looked very anxious, but I didn't know what he was anxious about.
Just when Liu Yan was worried, a soldier ran over.
"Sir, the prince is passing by here, please greet him quickly."
After saying that, the soldier turned and ran.
Now the city guards within the northern border are all served by the Zhenbei Army, and the city lord has no right to mobilize them.
"What? The prince is here, it's over."
When Liu Yan heard this, despair surged in his heart. If the prince knew about this, would he still be good?
"Sir, this matter must not be let to the prince, otherwise your future will be completely regretful. I suggest that these troublemakers be controlled immediately, and even at the critical moment, you can..."
As he said, Xia Zhubo made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"How dare you! With such a big incident, we should solve it immediately. How can we ignore the lives of the people for our own future? Xia Zhubo, you really disappoint me."
Liu Yan was immediately angry. Is this the time to kill people to silence them? Do you think you can hide such a big thing?
Not killing people is just dereliction of duty and lack of ability, but if you kill the victim, the nature is completely different.
Although Liu Yan is worried about his future, he is not stupid at all.
"Let's go, follow me to welcome the prince."
Without caring about dealing with Xia Zhubo, Liu Yan hurried to welcome Long Tian.
"Did you hear it? The prince is here, let's go and ask the prince for help."
The soldier's words just now were not hidden from others. Many parents who lost their children also heard it. At this time, they could not care about anything else. Everything was based on their children.
So, many people in Fengyang City also followed to watch the excitement.
At the city gate, Long Tian had already seen the general of the Zhenbei Army here, a ninth-grade warrior.
"Yang Xian, send people to surround the Xia family immediately. All the people in the Xia family should be arrested by the prince."
Long Tian immediately issued an order, and no one could escape.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Although he didn't know why, this was an order issued by the prince himself. Yang Xian didn't dare to hesitate and immediately led his troops to the Xia family.
At the same time, many soldiers were assigned to arrest the people of the Xia family throughout the city.
"I, your humble servant Liu Yan, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
At this time, Liu Yan, with the officials of Fengyang City, rushed to the city gate.
"Lord Liu, can you..."
Just when Long Tian was about to ask for punishment, a large group of people rushed in from behind and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, please save our children."
A large group of people begged for mercy in a chaotic manner.
"How dare you lose manners in front of Your Majesty? Come on, take them away."
Seeing the chaos at the scene, Xia Zhubo was about to call for help.
"Xia Zhubo, don't be so presumptuous,Everything is subject to the prince's orders."
A small chief clerk dared to give orders in front of the prince, which really scared Liu Yan.
"Your surname is Xia, from the Xia family in Fengyang City?"
When Long Tian heard that this person's surname was Xia, he knew a little bit.
"I am Xia Wude, and I pay my respects to the prince."
When Xia Zhubo saw that the prince was paying attention, he immediately knelt on the ground again, looking pious.
"Come on, bring the people up."
Long Tian ordered, and a moment later, several people were pressed to the front by Yanyunqi.
"Xia Zhubo, do you know these people?"
Long Tian asked.
Xia Wude raised his head slightly and then quickly lowered it.
"Reporting to the prince, I don't know them."
Know, no one can know them at this time.
"No, how come you don't even know the people from your Xia family. "
As he spoke, Long Tian took a few steps forward and said to the people around him.
"Look, are these children yours? If so, take them all away."
Yan Yunqi stepped aside, revealing the children behind.
"Niuniu, where have you been?"
"Nannan, why are you here? I miss you so much."
Sure enough, they were all children from Fengyang City. After a while, everyone took the lost children away.
Looking at this scene, although Liu Yan had some guesses in his heart, this was not the time to ask.
"Lord Liu, do you know your crime?"
Long Tian began to attack.
"My Lord, I know my crime. As the lord of a city, I did not fulfill my duties, so that such a big thing happened. ”
It is impossible to escape. Not to mention the arrival of the King of the North, even if Fan Li came, this matter would not be resolved.
"Lord Liu, your guilt will be determined by Fan Li. Before the decision is made, please check Fengyang City in detail for me and inform the surrounding cities. No more children will be lost."
"The Xia family in Fengyang City has lost all conscience and colluded with the barbarians to steal our northern children and sell them to the barbarians for blood sacrifice. This is a heinous crime. I declare that the Xia family in Fengyang City will be confiscated and exterminated. No one from the Xia family will be spared."
"If there are other people involved in this matter, Lord Liu will investigate it on his own. Don't let me find out."
Long Tian directly announced the decision on how to deal with this matter.
