Even in this era, many people understood the existence of Poppy. As for why there was such a thing within the sugar block, even Bai Yixuan did not know.

Even if the sugar block had Poppy s, what did it have to do with these children?

"Second Miss, you've made this a bit strange. They're all just some kids. What does that have to do with anything?"

"I don't know either, but since there is such a thing, it means that there is a problem with the matter. Within a week, he lost two children, and if it was really a resourceful trafficker, then why did he steal the children from these two families? Tell me, what was Li Family doing then?"

The constable head thought for a while and said, "Although this Li Family can't compare to Qiu Jia Village, she is still a rich family of medicinal ingredients and specializes in pouring out medicinal ingredients."

Bai Yixuan understood, "I got it, it's too late today, if you want to thoroughly investigate this matter, perhaps you will need to go and take a look at the child's house, maybe you will find out what kind of trick it is."

"Is Second Miss staying in County Yamen tonight?"

"No, I will still go back. Big Brother constable head, we will meet tomorrow."

The constable head nodded and watched Bai Yixuan walk into the distance.

Bai Yixuan did not return to the Bai Family, she went back to the little house on the mountain and lit the candles. Bai Yixuan had her own thoughts, and thought that this matter would definitely not happen for no reason.

If it wasn't an acquaintance, how could such a strange child disappear without a trace?

If it was said that the sugar block was not a tool to trick children, it could very possibly be a hint, or even a threat.

Lying on the bed, Bai Yixuan still couldn't fall asleep. Although Mu Yefan's bed had been renovated many times and was covered with many layers of soft cushions, she didn't know what was going on today either.

Bai Yixuan's mind was filled with all sorts of messy thoughts. Even she herself was annoyed, thinking about the sachet she made for Mu Yefan in the past that was currently somewhere in the world. After Bai Yixuan moved to this place, she had searched through it a few times, but in the end, she still couldn't find her.

She had almost drowned when she was trying to save someone, but this time, she was saved. She thought that the first person she would see after opening her eyes would be her grandfather or Zhao Yunfan, but she didn't expect that the person Bai Yixuan was looking at would actually be Xiao Ziyi.

Then, she began to feel that her own body was not under her control, and then, she helplessly watched herself and Xiao Ziyi being embraced. What the hell was this, that she had moved her love within the dream, and that it was not even under her own control.

When Bai Yixuan woke up, her expression was still a little strange. She didn't know what kind of strange things she was thinking and how this dream came to be in her mind. After washing her face with cold water, Bai Yixuan finally felt much more clear-headed.

Looking at the sky and not having enough time to eat breakfast, Bai Yixuan packed and went out.

Bai Yihui's face was full of blame, "Where did you go last night?"

"Big brother, I'll go help you investigate the case."

Then why don't you live in the County Yamen?

"Brother, County Yamen is full of Chief Officer, is it inconvenient for me to live here? Brother, let's talk about the case."

Bai Yihui was helpless, "Have you eaten breakfast?"

Bai Yixuan shook her head, "Not yet."

"Girl, you really make me worry. I don't know what to say to you. Come, let's go in for breakfast. We'll talk while we eat."

Bai Yixuan nodded obediently.

After Bai Yixuan told her opinion to Bai Yihui, Bai Yihui asked uncertainly, "You mean to say, the loss of these children is related to that sugar block?"

"Yes, and don't worry, big brother. I think that as long as these two families don't have any accomplices, this child won't go missing. As for why these two families disappeared, it must be because these two families have something to do with it."

"So there's no evidence."

"I know, that's why I'm preparing to go to Li Family to have a look today. How is it, big brother?

"Alright, after you eat, go to Li Family and have a look."

"What is the name of this little girl from Li Family?"

"His name is Li Zhuyu, their family's most doted on little daughter, and he is also a sinner. Even if there really is a conflict, how old is his child?"

"Big Brother, don't be sad about Spring and Autumn. Alright, alright, we're done eating. Let's go."

Bai Yixuan and a few other officials and constable head s arrived at the Li Family first. Bai Yixuan had instructed them to go inside first with Bai Yihui, before pretending to have a stomachache. When it was convenient to go to the residence, she would take this opportunity to see if there was anything fishy with the Li Family.

"Master Li." Bai Yihui cupped his hands, and Bai Yixuan followed behind Bai Yihui in his official attire, the Master Li did not look young, and it was likely that he had gotten a girl in his late years so he had become especially pampered.

"Master Bai, it's been a few days but there's still no news?"

"Master Li, this time, I came to ask you a few questions."

"Sire, please speak."

"Because the person whom you love is truly a ghost and have yet to get any leads on anything, but yesterday we found out that the sugar block seemed to have a type of medicinal ingredient inside, and Master Li you are in the medicinal ingredient business."

The Master Li looked very surprised, "Master, do you mean that the sugar block has a medicine to cover one's sweat?"

"No, the thing inside the sugar block is opium poppy. Does Master Li have something like opium poppy?"

Master Li's face did not change, but Bai Yixuan could still see that, Master Li was looking to his left, obviously lying, "Of course not, this kind of thing is forbidden by the government, how would we dare do such a thing, Master, you are overthinking it."

Bai Yihui laughed, "I wonder how old Master Li is, and how old he is?"

"When I was fifty."

"He is indeed the son of an elder. I presume that the lord dotes on this daughter of his."

"What does the lord want to ask?"

"Since you want to find your daughter, you have to tell us what you know. That way, we can help you find your daughter."

Master Li's face finally turned ugly, "Master, you mean to say that my daughter's disappearance is related to me? I don't know about this. We're in the right business and we don't have any opium poppy. "

Bai Yixuan made a hand gesture to go to the toilet, Bai Yihui pretended not to care and waved her hand, his focus was still on Master Li, the two of them cooperating extremely well.

"Master Li, since you're so agitated, This Official will have to wonder if you really know something. Then, this This Official will ask you another question."

Master Li sat down and said to Bai Yihui, "Master, please continue."

"Do you know the Old Master Qiu of Qiu Jia Village?"

Master Li's expression completely changed. Bai Yihui smiled, "Looking at Master Li's expression, even if Master Li told me that he doesn't know me, I wouldn't believe it."

"I recognize the Old Master Qiu. Back then, we were studying in the same academy, but after so many years, their business was much bigger than mine, so we aren't in much of a relationship."

"Really? Doesn't Master Li know that the couple of Old Master Qiu's daughters are both missing?"

Master Li sneered, "Of course I know that, but what does it matter?"

"When the Qiu Family ladies went missing, there was also a sugar block in front of the door. I wanted to ask Master Li, why did such a coincidence happen?"

Why did you ask me? Could it be that I kidnapped my own daughter and then his daughter? Honestly speaking, I, Li Dahe do not have that kind of ability.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's talk about you and the Old Master Qiu."

"What's there to talk about with him?"

"Tell me, when was the last time you met this Old Master Qiu?"

"The last time?" Master Li sneered, "About ten days ago."

"Is Master Li sure?"

"Of course."

"Your daughter disappeared nine days ago, while the Old Master Qiu's daughter disappeared nine days ago. So that means that a few days after you two met, your daughters disappeared one after the other."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Okay, Master Li, what happened on the day your daughter went missing?"

It was only then that Li Dahe remembered, "Actually nothing happened, my daughter Zhu Yu was originally very lively. Although she is young, she was also a tyrant, and the female servants and nurses could not control her. That day, without knowing why, Zhu Yu ran to the side door and the wet nurse went to chase after her, but when she reached the side door, her daughter disappeared, and she could not be found."

"What about that wet nurse? Can we meet her?"

"If you guys want to see her, then go to her house. Even my daughter can't stand it. I've already dismissed her."

Bai Yihui nodded.

After Bai Yixuan walked out of the hall, the people of Li Family all ignored him and disappeared.

Furthermore, there were many warehouses with locks on them that Bai Yixuan could not enter. However, these were not things that Bai Yixuan was looking for, it was the beginning of spring, although she could not find any flowers that were flourishing, Bai Yixuan was sure that the Li Family had the flower stalks of Poppy s, and was waiting for them to blossom.

After searching for a few rounds, Bai Yixuan suddenly found a small independent courtyard. The door to the small courtyard was also locked, Bai Yixuan walked a few steps, flew up to the wall, and easily flipped over. As expected, the back of the small courtyard was filled with flower poles made of opium poppy, filling up the entire courtyard.

After confirming the situation, Bai Yixuan then looked around carefully and quietly walked back.

After returning to the house, Bai Yixuan and Bai Yihui looked at each other, then Bai Yihui asked, "Master Li, when This Official's subordinates went to the toilet, they accidentally found a strange little courtyard in your residence. I wonder if we can go take a look at that little courtyard?"
