Volume 1 The First Path of Cultivation Chapter 23 Reluctantly asked Chen Changan for help
As soon as the emperor list came out, the city was full of wind and rain, and the case of the girl's disappearance was discussed everywhere, even the inn where Chen Changan was located.
Chen Changan heard the noise downstairs in the guest room, and couldn't help but be curious for a while, so he pushed open the door, and sure enough, the first floor for everyone to drink tea was full of people at this time, and almost every table was discussing what happened to the disappearance.
This made Chen Changan interested a lot, so he casually found an empty seat and sat down, listening to the people chatting at the table, and the others did not shy away from Chen Changan, after all, no one in the capital knew about the disappearance case now.
In less than a cup of tea, Chen Changan probably knew the ins and outs of the matter, it turned out that a month ago, there was more than one girl missing in the entire capital, but because the missing people were all ordinary people's daughters at that time, the Yamen investigation was fruitless.
But in the past month, there have been seven or eight similar cases before and after, these are all teenage girls, but in the end no clues have been found, so this matter has spread to the palace, after all, it is really under the emperor's nose, so can the emperor not care?
So the emperor sent Master Pan of the Criminal Department to find out, but after all the clues were found somewhere, he couldn't find out, so the emperor posted the emperor's list and publicly offered a reward. If you can provide useful clues, it will be a reward of 100 taels, and if you can find out the case, you can get 10,000 taels of gold, 100 acres of fertile land, and most importantly, you can make a request to His Majesty the current emperor in person.
Hearing this, Chen Changan was still a little puzzled in his heart, it stands to reason that it is impossible for the Criminal Department to take over and not find out, so there are only two possibilities, either there is a big force behind this matter, or it involves a certain high-level monk. No matter what the situation is, it's not something that he, Chen Changan, can mix, or just listen to it as a story.
......
The atmosphere in the Li Mansion was a little depressing, the lord made a fire at home, and locked the young lady in the library pavilion, and the maids in the whole house became cautious in doing things, always worried that the lord would be angry.
Only Xiaohuan often ran to the library pavilion, but the young lady didn't eat at all, didn't talk to anyone, and ignored whoever came, as if she wanted to use a tough attitude to let the master know her decision not to marry Yang Gongzi. But the old man also seemed to be angry and didn't pay attention to it at all.
Xiaohuan sat at the door of the library pavilion, looking at the food that had never been touched in the morning, and said with a little choked up: "Miss, you can just take a bite, what if you are hungry?
A voice finally came from the library pavilion, and the voice was not weak, "Xiaohuan, you don't have to blame yourself, I don't blame you." ”
When Xiaohuan heard Miss's voice, she cried even more aggrieved, and said, "Miss, don't be afraid, I will definitely find a way to get you out, don't worry, Miss, I'll be back immediately." ”
Without waiting for the young lady to answer, the maid Xiaohuan wiped her tears with her sleeve and ran away. In the library pavilion, Li Qingquan was sitting cross-legged, and said in his heart that this library pavilion is protected by a formation, how can ordinary people save me?
Xiaohuan ran out and came back to his senses, who to find to save the young lady, now in this situation, I am afraid that only Yang Xian has the ability, but Xiaohuan suddenly thought of what Chen Changan said, and subconsciously did not dare to go to Yang Xian, hesitated again and again, and finally made up his mind, or find Chen Changan.
After all, he and Miss are his saviors, and he won't hurt Miss no matter what.
......
Chen Changan was still a little strange in the inn, why did Miss Qingquan have no contact with him in the past two days, could it be that what she said that day had too much impact on her and needed time to digest it? But she reflected at the time that it shouldn't be like this, and before Chen Changan could continue to think about it, she heard her door being slammed.
There was a Do Not Disturb sign hanging outside the door, and someone knocked on the door thinking that it should not be a store, it could only be someone from the Li Mansion over there, the house had already been cleaned up by Chen Changan, so he went over and gently opened the door, sure enough, it was Xiaohuan who came, Chen Changan was about to ask where the Qingquan girl was, but saw Xiaohuan quickly get into the house, turned around and closed the door.
Without giving Chen Changan time to speak, Xiaohuan Putong knelt down and looked at Chen Changan with tears in his eyes.
Where had Chen Changan seen this kind of scene, and hurriedly said, "Xiaohuan, what are you going to do here?"
stepped forward to help Xiaohuan up, but Xiaohuan didn't want to get up, so he cried out again, crying and saying: "Chen Changan, please save Miss, the master locked up Miss, blame me, blame me for not keeping my mouth, and told the master about you." Chen Changan, save Miss!"
After speaking, he cried like a child and his face was full of snot, Chen Changan sighed, gently helped Xiaohuan up and sat down, and said comfortingly: "Since I know, I naturally have to find a way to ensure that your young lady is safe and sound, as for whether you can be rescued, it depends on your young lady's meaning, you don't want to see Miss Qingquan turn against your master, right?"
When Xiaohuan heard that Chen Changan was willing to help, his crying weakened, but he was still sobbing and said, "Then, you must find a way to rescue Miss." ”
Chen Changan smiled and patted Xiaohuan's shoulder, and said, "You go back and tell your young lady, just say that I, Chen Changan, will do my best to make her wish come true." ”
Xiaohuan pulled a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped the tears on his face, stood up and gave a blessing, Chen Changan hurriedly hugged his fists in return, Xiaohuan said don't send the son and got up and left.
Chen Changan watched Xiaohuan go away, took out the money bag that Miss Li Qingquan gave him from his arms, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Miss Qingquan, it seems that I have to help you, this is really a little difficult, after all, it is the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
Xiaohuan knew that Chen Changan promised to help him, and he was in a much better mood, although he had not known Chen Changan for a long time, Xiaohuan was still willing to believe him from the bottom of his heart.
Let's go back and tell the young lady, Xiaohuan just wanted to follow up, but he didn't notice that a man in black was following closely behind. Perhaps it was intuition, Xiaohuan always felt that something was wrong, and turned around suddenly, but did not find any trace. At this time, Xiaohuan was still a little scared, after all, she still took it to heart after hearing about the assassination incident that Chen Changan said.
But as soon as Xiaohuan wanted to turn around and continue to go home, a face covered with a black cloth suddenly appeared in front of him, followed by a burst of dizziness, and he was unconscious.
I don't know how long it took, when Xiaohuan woke up again, he found that his hands and feet had been tied, and even his mouth was gagged without making a sound.
After struggling for a long time in vain, she calmed down a little and looked at her surroundings, which were extremely dark and damp, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air, and around her there were twelve girls about her age who were tied to a pillar, and their faces were extremely pale.
Suddenly, there was a footstep sound, Xiaohuan looked up suddenly, and when he saw the person who came in, his eyes widened.
