Chai Yan was eating cakes and looking at everything in the room.
Taishu Le patiently sat aside and waited. Seeing Chai Yan's behavior, he was not in a hurry to ask, so he simply waited until he finished eating.
Chai Yan ate two pieces of pastry and drank the whole cup of tea. He wiped his mouth and asked, "Uncle Commander, who do you want me to help you find?"
Taishu Le said seriously: "My son!"
"Your son?" Chai Yan looked at Taishu Le in surprise, waiting for him to continue.
Tai Shule sighed and said: "If you are honest, this child is not the child of my wife! The old woman who brought you cakes just now is my son's grandmother!"
Chai Yan thought to himself that it turned out that Tai Shu Le's illegitimate son was lost.
Chai Yan understood immediately: "This is where their family lives?"
Tai Shule nodded and said: "That's right! This place is close to Wudesi, so we arranged their family here."
"Uncle Commander, your son is lost. Why didn't you go to the official to find him? Instead, you came to find me?" Chai Yan asked.
Tai Shule looked helpless and said: "You can't report to the official, otherwise my wife will know about it. With her temperament, she will definitely not be able to tolerate my son..."
After some questioning, Chai Yan learned a lot of inside information. The name of Tai Shule's lost illegitimate son was Tai Shuming. Her mother had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to him. At that time, Tai Shule wanted to protect him, but Tai Shuming's mother did not agree. In the end,
She couldn't resist but still saved the little boy!
Tai Shuming lost his biological mother when he was born and has been taken care of by his grandmother since he was a child. He is now five years old this year.
A five-year-old boy is at the age where he is active and likes to play. Two days ago, my grandma was busy in the kitchen. I didn’t notice that my uncle disappeared at dawn. I thought he went to play next door or on the street, but it was dark.
No one has come back since, and it has been three days now!
Chai Yan calculated the time and found that he happened to go to Yuping Mountain when Taishu Ming got lost. No wonder Cheng Huahan came to see him many times. It turned out to be just for this matter.
The reason why Taishu Le did not go to Huaidu Prefecture to report the case was because the wife Mingmei Taishu Le was marrying was the niece of Huaidu Prefecture Yin!
According to Tai Shu Le himself, his wife's character was not only jealous but also very domineering. Although she gave birth to two children, they were both daughters. Tai Shu Le, who had never had a son, proposed taking in concubines, but his wife would not allow it even if he died.
There were a few times when things got really loud and the family was in a state of chaos.
Taishu Le was a martial arts practitioner. He was originally afraid of trouble, and he was even more afraid of the woman's troubles. So he had to secretly raise Taishu Ming outside, planning to wait until his son grew up in the future.
When he gets older, he will take the person back, and then let Taishu Ming recognize his ancestor and return to his clan!
Unexpectedly, an accident happened now. The child was suddenly lost. Where can I find him in such a big capital?
"Uncle Commander, are you looking for everyone around here?" Chai Yan always felt that a five-year-old child couldn't be scared very far no matter what.
Tai Shule said anxiously: "Why are you not looking? I have searched all the places I can look for..."
Tai Shule told Chai Yan that when he learned that the child was missing, he sent people to guard the city gates day and night, so it is now certain that Tai Shuming is still in the capital!
The reason why I asked Chai Yan to come here was to use his ability to calculate Tai Shuming's current position!
Chai Yan didn't want anything to happen to a child, but he needed a blood sample to find someone, so he spent some time and patiently explained it to Tai Shule.
Taishu Le did not hesitate, and immediately asked his son's grandmother to bring him an old pair of trousers that Taishu Ming had worn in the past.
"Chai Yan, there are my son's blood stains on this. He broke his knee once when he fell. Can you see if it can be used?" Taishu said happily.
Chai Yan took the pants and took a look. Sure enough, there was a less obvious blood stain on the knee.
"Shangguan Peining, can it still be used like this?" Chai Yan asked secretly.
Shangguan Peining was unsure: "I don't know, let's try..."
After that, Shangguan Peining took the blood sample.
After a while, Shangguan Peining spoke: "It can be used, but the blood has been used for too long, the smell is too weak, and the range of perception is very small!"
"How small is very small?" Chai Yan asked in detail.
Shangguan Peining thought for a moment and replied: "At most, it is within the scope of one mile."
"Only a mile..."
Chai Yan secretly worried that it was too small. The capital was so big and ordinary people couldn't ride horses on the streets and search street by street. When should they find it?
Chai Yan returned the pants to Tai Shule and asked, "The blood stains on these are too light. Are there any others that are fresher?"
Tai Shule called his mother-in-law to ask, but the answer he got was disappointing.
Chai Yan asked the old man: "Has the child been injured recently?"
The old man shook his head and said eagerly: "No, Ming'er has become much more honest recently and has never been injured."
"If you think about it again, if you bump into each other or fight with other children, it doesn't matter if you scratch your skin and bleed!" Chai Yan still refused to give up.
The child's grandmother thought about it again and again, then shook her head and said: "I gave Ming'er a bath a few days ago, and I checked it carefully. He didn't have any injuries at all!"
After hearing this, Chai Yan was secretly worried and wondered how he could find it. Even if there was a blood sample with low sensitivity, Tai Shuming had no wounds on his body. Even if he was so close through a wall, he wouldn't be able to detect it!
Uncle Tai was happy to see Chai Yan's face looked sad, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
Chai Yan really couldn't bear to dash Tai Shu Le's hope, but he couldn't say anything confident, so he had to say: "Tai Shu Commander, these blood stains are really... Anyway, I'll do my best.
......."
"This, this, this... what should I do..."
After hearing Chai Yan's words, Taishu Le was like a deflated rubber ball. He stepped back and fell on the chair.
When Tai Shuming's grandmother saw this, she also lowered her head and began to cry. While she was crying, she blamed herself, saying that she was responsible for not taking good care of the child.
Suddenly, the whole room was filled with an air of mourning, which made people extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing this scene, Chai Yan also felt sympathy and said: "Uncle Commander, I need a carriage. Although this method is stupid, but with luck, I might be able to find your son!"
"Really?" Tai Shule immediately cheered up, and Tai Shuming's grandmother also looked up at Chai Yan.
Chai Yan said: "Try your luck, it's better than doing nothing!"
"Yes! You are right!" Taishu Le's hope was rekindled, and he immediately stood up and said, "Just wait, I will prepare the carriage right now!"
After saying that, Taishu Le hurriedly walked out the door...
