Mu Yun'an looked up at the noisy crowd on the street, and heard a bang. A man fell to the ground, and then two teenagers chased him and captured him.
Looking at the two teenagers, Mu Yun'an's lips twitched and she couldn't laugh or cry: "Why are it the two of them again?"
Mu Yun'an was already used to this scene. The two young men making trouble were none other than Shen Rui and Xiao You'an.
The two men pulled the man up on the ground and escorted him away.
Xiao Youan's sharp eyes saw Mu Yunan and Xiao Chengyi at the wonton stall, and he called out: "Sister Mu, Brother Xiao."
He walked over quickly and asked, "Why did you leave the palace?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "What's going on?"
Xiao Youan snorted and said, "Shen Rui and I saw this man trying to abduct a child on the street, so we caught him and were about to send him to prison."
When Xiao Chengyi heard about kidnapping children, he frowned. He walked over and looked at the man captured by Shen Rui and asked, "Why are you kidnapping children?"
The man was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He said, "I just heard that selling children is very profitable."
Xiao Chengyi narrowed his eyes: "I heard? Who said it? The imperial court has banned human trafficking, is it possible that there are still people doing this business?"
The man sneered softly and said: "What does the imperial court's decree mean? Even if your Majesty manages the country well, it is impossible for you to see all directions and listen to all directions.
There were still people doing evil things where he couldn't see them, and he issued a ban strictly prohibiting the sale of people.
But a wealthy family needs servants and maids, a romantic land needs girls, and rich and powerful gentry want concubines, aren’t these all bought with money?”
Xiao Chengyi's face turned gloomy after hearing his words. He said to Shen Rui: "Send the person to your father and let him examine it carefully."
"yes."
Shen Rui responded, escorted the man and left with Xiao Youan.
Mu Yun'an saw Xiao Chengyi's expression was not good, she stretched out her hand to hold his hand and said: "Brother Yi, don't blame yourself, it's not that the country you govern is not good, it's that there is always some filth and darkness in this world that we have Invisible.”
Xiao Chengyi also knew it. He sighed and said: "After the child is born, we will often visit him in private to see the darkness and filth that we cannot see."
Trapped within the palace walls, peace and prosperity are only on the surface. Only by going out can you see the shortcomings of the world and correct them.
"good."
Mu Yun'an happily agreed.
Xiao Chengyi said: "It's getting late, let's go back to the palace."
Mu Yun'an nodded and said as she walked: "Shen Rui and You'an have almost become spies in the capital."
These two people wandered around the streets when they had nothing to do, and they would take action when they saw injustice, either helping the people catch thieves, or helping the elderly and children. In short, the two of them were now famous and loved by the people.
Xiao Chengyi said with a smile: "They will join the officialdom in two years, so they might as well exercise first."
Mu Yun'an was noncommittal. She looked at the people coming and going on the street and the bustle and bustle around her.
Although there is still darkness where they cannot see, she believes that with the joint efforts of Xiao Chengyi and his friends, the world will get better and better.
...
The next day.
Xiao Chengyi did not lose his temper during the morning court, and all the officials came down from the morning court safely and then surrounded Xuandu.
