Upon hearing what his subordinate said, Dongfang Qi became displeased.
"You'd better not speak nonsense, under my governance, Chu City is a place where doors need not be shut at night and lost property isn't picked up by others, got it?"
"Cousin, you are still trying to assert that everything is all right. Even as I came over, I heard the neighborhood talk about how several children have gone missing both inside and outside the city. Sister-in-law Li lost her child this afternoon, there must be something odd going on."
When Dongfang Qi inquired further, there were indeed two or three cases of children reported missing recently.
"This is preposterous, why didn't you report this to me earlier?"
Dongfang Qi could only stare in anger.
"Third Prince, didn't you say that as a new official you wanted to handle a big case? These instances of lost children, the subordinates all thought they were minor issues and did not bother you with them."
