Volume 1 The Mist of the Green Mountains Chapter 24 The Wedding

Today's Pingqiaofang is particularly lively, the sky is just bright, Chengfu is busy up and down, hanging lanterns of hanging lanterns, applique paper of applique paper, and there are strong families in the yard to build a big stove, many maids and women like flowing shuttles, with all kinds of fruits and pastries to arrange.

Just after the hour, a burst of firecrackers sounded at the square bridge, and a team blew and blew out in the smoke of gunpowder, and there was a young man wearing a red wedding dress behind him, and followed the band all the way out of the square door with a flower bridge. Seeing this bustle, many children shouted and jumped all the way to follow behind, begging for candy from Xi Po, laughing and running farther and farther. The adults are not in a hurry when they see it, the security in the county has been excellent in the past two years, and the team that followed Cheng Fu to marry can also be happy.

Cheng Mansion is a big family in Pingqiao Fang, who has a big and small affair on weekdays are not less troublesome Cheng Yuan, today the Cheng family married, the whole Pingqiao Fang has moved, when it will come, there are 100 tables lined up along the street in the workshop, all of which are covered with red cloth, and there are melons and fruit snacks on them, some children are greedy and secretly go to take a piece and turn around and run, the parents laugh and scold in the back, and meet the people of Cheng Mansion who are setting the table, and will also stuff two pieces of candy in the children's pockets.

Sun family shop is the famous restaurant in Dingbian County, Sun Cheng father and son were invited by Cheng Mansion to be responsible for today's banquet, early in the morning they drove to Cheng Mansion with a whole fat pig to kill the carriage, and after a while the yard sounded the sound of oil cooking and frying, the ruddy and shiny pork, the golden hooves that have just been fried, the beef that exudes the fragrance of sauce just out of the pot, the carp that has just been caught in the Yanshui River outside the city this morning, the mountain mushrooms and wild meat that were collected from the mountain people some time ago, and the game is served in and out like flowing water, and the people are salivating. Cheng Yuanwai stood in front of the door early to greet the guests and friends who watched the ceremony, for the Cheng family, the villagers in this square are not guests, but their own family.

Busy, ushered in the send-off, the sun climbed up little by little, seeing that it was almost noon, the team to welcome the relatives was still noon, it stands to reason that this county is not big, although the two families are divided into things, but it will not take two hours. Cheng Yuanwai thought in his heart, and was about to find someone to greet him, when suddenly a rapid sound of horses' hooves came. Following the prestige, I saw a red figure shooting like an arrow, it was the groom who went and returned, but there was no bride by his side.

"Dad-" Cheng Gongzi didn't care about the surprised eyes around him, and without waiting for the horse to stop, he jumped down, grabbed Cheng Yuanwai in a few steps, and forced himself to settle down, and then spoke, "Dad, Caiting is gone." ”

Cheng Yuanwai was a little stunned, looked at his son, and after a while, he grabbed his son's arm, pulled his son aside and asked in a low voice: "What do you mean it's gone?" Our two families are engaged to get married today, and you two are also willing to do so, how can you be so good that you will not be gone? You said slowly. ”

Cheng Gongzi took a moment of breath before telling the story one by one. This morning, Cheng Gongzi rode a horse and carried a sedan chair, and the team came all the way to Yingcuifang Zhangfu to welcome relatives, and when he entered the door, it was as lively and festive as Pingqiaofang. Cheng Gongzi passed five levels and six generals as usual, and finally stood in front of Zhang Caiting's spring boudoir, with a heartbeat like a drum. Who knows, this stop is half an hour, no matter how Cheng Gongzi shouts, there is just silence in the boudoir. At first, people thought that Miss Zhang was deliberately making things difficult for her husband, but gradually the neighbors who surrounded her also felt that it was wrong. Someone went to invite Zhang's mother, and Zhang's mother thought that her daughter was a new wife and was a little reluctant to go home, so she comforted her outside the door. After a while, the room was quiet, and there was still no sound, and even Zhang's mother was a little drumming in her heart. Find someone to knock the door open and take a look, a few maids and old mothers are lying on the ground, and there is still Zhang Caiting in the house.

At this time, Zhang Yuanwai and his wife panicked, and the maids and servants, the neighbors searched around, and turned over the entire Yingcui Fang, but they didn't see Zhang Caiting's shadow. Cheng Gongzi was worried that his parents were in a hurry, so he hurried back to report the news.

Chen Pengshan had just sent Li Qing and a few people away, when he saw a girl in blue rushing in. As soon as Chen Pengshan saw the girl, a smile appeared on his ravine-ravine face, and he got up to greet him.

"I said Lao Chen," the girl grabbed the kettle on the table, raised her head and poured it, Chen Pengshan was about to say hello, seeing this, she had to stand aside and wait, the girl drank well, then put down the kettle, stretched out her hand to wipe her mouth, and looked at Chen Pengshan again, "Those people are my friends, and the missing ones are also my friends, discuss with you, this case is one of mine." ”

When Chen Pengshan saw the girl coming, he had already guessed the meaning. Every time there is a big case over the years, this girl can always find a reason to participate, even if there is no reason, she will grind hard. At first, Chen Pengshan carried a heart, for fear that something would go wrong, and he couldn't explain it to adults, but after a few times, this girl really had some skills, not only never complained, but also caught those bandits, and was not ambiguous, and now Chen Pengshan has taken him as a half catcher. Seeing that the girl had found a reason to come again today, Chen Pengshan just nodded.

The girl was very satisfied with Chen Pengshan's attitude, and was about to sit down to discuss in detail, when a servant came in from outside the door, saying that someone was missing in Yingcuifang, and the family came to report the case and was waiting in the lobby.

There were two disappearances in a row, Chen Pengshan didn't dare to slack off, and took Jian Xiaoxin to see Zhang Yuanwai and his wife.

Li Qing and the others accompanied Fu Bo to just go home, and when they saw Bai Jingwen coming out of the house, Fu Bo was just busy going up to greet him, but Bai Jingwen waved his hand impatiently, and didn't listen to what Fu Bo said, so he left in a hurry. Fauber chased a few steps, but when he saw that he couldn't catch up, he had to stop his steps and sigh in a low voice.

After comforting Fubo, they gathered together to take counsel, and before they sat down, the servant came on foot with a blue-shirted girl and a big man in cloth.

"Sister Xiaoxin," Erya was a little strange, she only met at the county office in the morning, why did Jian Xiaoxin come to the Bai family again so quickly, could it be that the white lotus had news?

Everyone sat down, and it turned out that Jian Xiaoxin was the head catcher Wang Tiehan in charge of the case in the county. When everyone heard Jian Xiaoxin's introduction, they all thought in their hearts, sure enough, he was as his name, with a height of eight feet, a dark complexion, a sharpened face, and a resolute face between his eyebrows.

Wang Tiehan was not good at smiling, but he asked in detail about the situation of the day, and then left, Jian Xiaoxin saw it and hurriedly waved his hand to everyone and followed. Erya was also going to go, but was pulled back by Li Qing.

The county investigated the case, and a few of them had no identity and followed the chaos. Today, I met the two adults, the county gentleman and the head catcher, somehow, Li Qing felt a lot more at ease, not to mention that Jian Xiaoxin was here, so he would not perfunctory everyone. Now that the Bai family has suddenly changed, White Lotus's father doesn't know when he will come back, and his only brother is a bad person, and Fu Bo also needs someone to take care of him. Li Qing told his younger brothers and sisters about his thoughts, and the teenagers gradually settled down.

At night, Li Qing saw that the steamed buns were snoring again, so he got up lightly, took his clothes and walked out the door.

Turning out of the courtyard wall, Li Qing relied on his memory all the way to the county government, and when he saw it, he arrived at the county government, and suddenly a figure flashed in front of him, the figure ran very fast, all the way to the outside of the city, Li Qing saw that the figure was graceful, it seemed to be a little familiar, and when he was hesitating, the figure beckoned to him.

Only then did Li Qing recognize that the figure in front of him was Jian Xiaoxin, and the two originally agreed to meet next to the county government every day, and Jian Xiaoxin would inform Li Qing of the day's investigation. I don't want to see each other on the first day. Li Qing didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly stretched his body to follow.

The two of them went out of the city in a few moments, and walked a little longer, until they were outside a dense forest, when the maiden stopped, and led a horse out of the woods. Li Qing was about to ask, but was stopped by the girl's outstretched hand.

After a while, the sound of hurried hooves sounded in the distance, and a man in soapy clothes rode a horse and shot it like an arrow. The girl immediately turned over and got on the horse, and seeing that Li Qing didn't move, she hurriedly pulled Li Qing down and sat down.

Li Qing grew so big, he had never sat so close to a woman, at this time, a vague fragrance hit, Li Qing only felt that the clouds were driving the fog, a heart was beating hard, his body was tense, his legs were desperately sandwiched on the horse's back, but he refused to reach out to touch the girl's body. The girl in front of her who was riding a horse had a smile on her lips.
