You are my golden finger

Chapter 190 Lantern Festival

After arranging matters at home, he let Jiaxing take over all the business in Qingyuan, and told Xingwu to take Xingyuan to Jiuchang County after the Lantern Festival to take over the business there.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, everyone returned to Kyoto. This time, Lin Xijin and Murong Xu did not leave the main group behind, but returned to the capital slowly with everyone else. The team was really large, with both old and young people, and it was not until the thirteenth day of the first lunar month that they returned to Kyoto.

"It's not you who's getting married, is it necessary for you and Jin'er to stay so long?" Murong Xu's father, the emperor, had been in court for several days and was really jealous of the two's leisurely and comfortable life outside.

"Father, if you want to have more free time, that's not easy. We can re-plan the time for court sessions and rest days and change the current system, which may be more efficient." Murong Xu took the opportunity to express his opinion.

"Do you have any good ideas? Feel free to tell us." The emperor was also somewhat tempted.

"Father, no matter how early or late we get up, the time is fixed every day, which is only twelve hours. You can postpone the time of court to the middle of the morning hour. The ministers work four hours a day, and those who cannot complete the tasks at hand can spend more time. If you go to court for six days, you can rest for one day. Of course, if you go to court for five days, you can rest for two days. The school can also adopt this rest method."

"As for the various departments of the court, the current organization is too complicated, the responsibilities are unclear, and the efficiency is low. You can streamline and divert them, make the responsibilities clearer, and improve the work efficiency of each department." Murong Xu spoke eloquently.

"Go back and think carefully, then draft a formal memorial." the emperor ordered.

"Yes, father." In order to spend more time with his wife and children in the future, Murong Xu quickly agreed. Although he didn't know where the child was now, he believed that there would be one soon.

Regardless of the lawsuit between the father and son, the Lantern Festival was still celebrated with great enthusiasm. The East Palace, Prince Xu's Mansion, and the Princess' Mansion were all decorated with various festive lanterns.

"Sister, can we go to the streets to enjoy the lanterns on the Lantern Festival? We have never been to the streets to enjoy the lanterns before." Xin Lan acted coquettishly.

"There are too many people on the streets during the Lantern Festival, which can easily lead to problems. There are a lot of child traffickers, so it's not very safe." Lin Xijin didn't really want to join in the fun.

"Sister, can we go to Brother Rui's restaurant to see what's going on?" An An was also very eager to do so.

Lin Xijin had no choice but to ask Lin Dong to ask Shangguan Rui to reserve a private room for them so that they can take everyone out to enjoy the lanterns on the Lantern Festival.

"The east wind blows thousands of flowers into bloom at night, and blows down stars like rain..." The great writer Xin Qiji's description of the Lantern Festival is just right. Lanterns are hung high in the streets, and the lanterns are like blooming flowers. Being among them is like entering a colorful fairyland. The streets and alleys are full of people admiring lanterns and guessing lantern riddles.

"Sister Jin, shall we go down and guess the riddles and help you win a few lanterns?" Looking at the pedestrians walking on the street with lanterns, Xingcheng couldn't hold back any longer.

"Okay, go quickly and come back soon." The boys have been learning martial arts for many years, so Lin Xijin is not too worried.

"Sister, I want to go too!" An An also wanted to follow.

"Okay, you are young, especially if you are the target of kidnappers, you must pay attention to your safety." Lin Xijin thought of the mysterious steps that An An had mastered to perfection, and agreed.

When Xinlan and Yuehe left the palace, they were warned not to risk their lives. Xijia accompanied them considerately, but did not ask to go.

Duan Jingyun, Chen Lele, and Wang Chunmei also came out tonight, but perhaps because of the painful experience of being kidnapped, the three of them were unwilling to go downstairs.

Shangguan Rui reserved a private room near the street for the best viewing angle of the lanterns. Lin Xijin and Murong Xu accompanied the others to drink tea, eat snacks and view the lanterns.

"Le Le, Jing Yun, Chun Mei, have you been practicing martial arts during this period?" Lin Xijin was concerned about their situation.

"Sister Jin, we practice martial arts with everyone every morning." Duan Jingyun answered on behalf of the three.

"Le Le, is it hard to practice martial arts?" Lin Xijin teased Le Le.

"Sister, Lele is not afraid of hard work. Once Lele has mastered Kung Fu, he will beat the bad guys!" Lele clenched his little fist and said confidently.

"Our Lele is so awesome!" Lin Xijin praised.

They just said they were going to beat up the bad guys, but the guys who went out had already started fighting with them.

"Master, something happened!" Lin Dong ran back to report, "Young Master An An heard someone shouting for help and chased after them. Several young masters from Xi Hui and An Yi and others have already followed."

"This kid is too bold. Jin'er, you stay here, I'll go take a look." Murong Xu said.

"Be careful. Do you have any weapons with you? Could this be a trap set by someone?" Lin Xijin asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I always carry it with me." Murong Xu patted his waist.

"Be careful!" Murong Xu had already walked away with the secret guards.

"Sister, will brother and An An be in danger?" Xijia asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, everyone has practiced kung fu for so many years, it should be fine." Lin Xijin comforted. Although I couldn't help but worry, I thought it would be good to give these guys a chance to practice.

Everyone waited anxiously for more than an hour before Murong Xu came back with a few guys. An An, who was always in the front, hid at the back this time and didn't dare to show up.

But the few of them were in sync and all moved aside, revealing An An.

"Sister." An An lowered her head and stepped forward.

"Tell your sister the whole process, and then tell me your understanding of this incident." Lin Xijin tried to speak to An An in a calm tone.

"Sister, this is what happened. My brother and I were guessing lantern riddles when we suddenly heard someone shouting for help. I ran over and saw a woman crying. She said her child had been taken away. I asked her about the situation and she pointed me in a direction. I followed her and soon found a man holding an unconscious child."

"I wasn't sure if he was a human trafficker, so I followed him secretly. I found that he carried the child out of the city gate and ran to a farm in the suburbs. I also sneaked in and found that it was indeed a den of human traffickers. Just when I was about to come back, my brother and others caught up with me, and we wiped out the den together."

"We captured seven human traffickers and rescued eight girls and twelve boys. Later, my brother-in-law and his men came and handed the human traffickers over to An Yi and his men, and then we returned."

"Sister, I was wrong. I shouldn't have followed them alone without knowing the situation and put myself in danger. I should have told my brother about this and they could work together to find a solution."

"It is a virtue to be brave and righteous. We can help others within our ability, but the prerequisite must be to protect ourselves. An An, although you have learned the Mizore Steps well, you are young and your internal strength is not enough. If you are discovered by the human traffickers and your brothers don't catch up, have you thought about the consequences?" Lin Xijin educated An An earnestly and took the opportunity to warn everyone.

"Sister, I will pay attention next time." An An is an all-accepting person.

"Okay, it's late, go back and rest!"

The case was finally handed over to Jingzhao Yin, and the result of the investigation was that some habitual criminals took the opportunity to commit crimes.

Lin Xijin sincerely felt that the order these days was too chaotic. It was really unsafe to walk outside, and a lot of effort must be made to rectify the situation.

It seems that the police can take this opportunity to go online.
