In the direction where the voice came from, two or three people ran over happily and shouted:

"The people from Kang Wang's Mansion just found a child."

"That child escaped!"

The street was noisy like a pot of boiling water, and passers-by spontaneously passed on the good news.

Although I don't know what happened to the other children, but at least there is a good sign now.

At the end of the street, a thin man in green clothes rushed out of an alley with a girl in a blue jacket in his arms. The man stumbled and staggered.

Not far behind him were two tall and vigorous guards with long knives across their waists, in a protective posture.

"Girl, isn't this the scholar Zhang just now?" Juan Bi looked out from the window, squinting at the scholar in Tsing Yi who was at least eight or nine feet away from them.

The person who rushed out with the child in his arms was indeed Zhang Shusheng.

At this moment, Zhang Shusheng no longer held the precious portrait in his hands. He hugged the girl tightly with both arms, his expression was excited and excited, his face was covered with tears, as if he was afraid that someone would take the child from him. It's like snatching it in your arms.

Juan Bi was a little far away, and he could only vaguely see the girl's dirty face, wounds all over her body, and glaring blood on her jacket.

The two guards settled them at the tea stall and left, saying they were going back to report to the prince.

The enthusiastic people around hurriedly surrounded Zhang Shusheng and his daughter, some asked them to sit down at the tea stand on the street, some brought tea, and some volunteered to go to the nearby medical center to ask for a doctor. Some people rushed forward and asked the girl:

"Little girl, have you seen my baby? There is a big mole on his right eyebrow."

"And my grandson, he has a big round head, he's easy to recognize!"

"My daughter has a birthmark on the back of her right hand..."

"..."

Those whose families lost their children were all very anxious, wishing to open the girl's mouth and let her tell everything she knew.

A group of people surrounded Zhang Shusheng, father and daughter, forming an invisible sense of oppression.

The girl shivered like a frightened rabbit, and buried her little face in her father's chest, speechless.

Zhang Shusheng frowned, his face was full of anger, and his eyes were burning with raging anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "My daughter-in-law escaped from the palace!"

"The eldest princess in the palace is seriously ill and needs the painstaking efforts of children to refine her heart pills to cure her illness."

"They kidnapped many children into the palace. My daughter escaped after going through all kinds of hardships. Fortunately, the guards of King Kang's Mansion found her in time."

The more Zhang Shusheng said, the more frightened he became. His arms holding his daughter trembled uncontrollably, his face was still pale.

If King Kang's guards hadn't found his daughter in time, how far a frail child like her could have escaped, I'm afraid she would have been captured by the villains in the palace long ago.

Zhang Shusheng's words were like a thunderbolt exploding in the sky, which made everyone tremble and their eyes widened in disbelief.

"Shangqing Daoist..." The girl in Zhang Shusheng's arms raised her head tremblingly, her voice was trembling, "It's Shangqing Daoist."

The girl's face was as pale as paper, and she cried "Wow", wailing loudly.

Everyone was even more shocked, they couldn't help but gasped, and all of them changed their faces.

The person who treated the eldest princess and made the heart pill for the eldest princess was actually a real person of Shangqing!

In other words, is it true that it is true to take the heart and soul of children? !

Juan Bi was startled when she heard it, and pointed to her heart and said to Gu Yanfei: "Girl, could it be that this heartache..."

"Open a hole in the heart and take a bowl of heart's blood." Gu Yanfei said calmly, and made a gesture to slash Juanbi's heart.

Juanbi's eyes widened suddenly, and the blood on his face faded slightly, "Then taking the blood of my heart, wouldn't it kill those children?"

Gu Yanfei didn't speak any more, and drank tea slowly.

Juanbi felt a chill in his heart.

In the tea shed below, an old man murmured: "The emperor is a benevolent monarch, and he has always been lenient to his subordinates."

"This is impossible!"

There are also a few people around who frown or show hesitation.

To Shusheng Zhang, who was full of righteous indignation, this question was like someone pointing at his nose and saying that he was talking nonsense and making up his mouth.

Zhang Shusheng felt that he had been greatly insulted, his slightly sallow face was flushed with anger, and said angrily: "Everything I said is true! If there are false words, five thunders will strike!"

When Zhang Shusheng said this, most people believed it even if they had the slightest doubt before.

Those who lost their children knelt on the ground with weak legs, some wailed like mourning, some beat the ground repeatedly with sorrowful expressions, and some shouted their children's names in despair.

If their children are really arrested and used to make alchemy for the eldest princess, then what else can they do, they can't rush to the palace to ask for someone.

The people present were all infected with this kind of sad mood. Just imagine, if their own children were captured by nobles in the palace to dig out their hearts and blood, they would also feel heartbroken, resentful, and unwilling.

The streets are getting noisier and louder.

A middle-aged woman who was beating the ground and crying bitterly wiped away her tears suddenly, got up from the ground, and said angrily: "No, I'm going to find my embolus, that's the only seedling I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy." .”

"I'm going to beg the emperor, even if I use my life to pay for the life of my Shuanzi!"

When she said this, everyone couldn't help showing a look of emotion and sigh.

It's really a world of parents' hearts.

Zhang Shusheng felt the same way even more. In order to get his daughter back, he would not hesitate to sacrifice his life.

Under the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is such lawlessness!

Zhang Shusheng gritted his teeth and said: "I'm going to the right gate of Chang'an to sue the imperial court. I want to ask the emperor if it is to save the eldest princess. All other children deserve to die. Should the children of us common people be used as medicine for the nobles?" ?!"

"I'm going to beat the Dengwen drum!"

"Niuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Emperor Taizu set up a Dengwen Drum at the right gate of Chang'an. Anyone who has a grievance can sound the Dengwen Drum to express their grievances. However, the person who beats the drum must receive 30 sticks before the case can be accepted and go directly to Tianting.

Zhang Shusheng looked at his daughter with red eyes, and a torrential wave of anger surged in his chest.

The girl tightly grasped Zhang Shusheng's skirt, sobbing and crying non-stop, and her father's skirt was wet with unstoppable tears.

The middle-aged woman wiped her tears again with her cuff, and said firmly, "I'll go with you!"

Zhang Shusheng stood up holding the petite and embarrassed daughter in his arms, and strode towards the palace with great strides, with an indomitable determination to move forward.

The people looked at each other, and there was a commotion for a while.

Some people hesitated, some were angry, some were at a loss, and more people caught up with Zhang Shusheng...
