The three masters and servants boarded the river bank, it was already the fifth watch, and the cemetery was shining brightly, and there were still people crowding, and the three masters and servants rushed over, it was the righteous brother Wubao and several of his entourage.

Twilight Feather ran over and said with tears in her eyes, "Brother, I've worked hard for you", the treasure was dozing off, heard the human voice, suddenly woke up, saw Twilight Feather, and said in surprise: "Brother Xian, you're back, it's so hard to find you these days."

Twilight Feather knelt down again to burn incense and paper, and wept bitterly again. White Lotus and Purple Lotus also knelt on either side of Twilight Feather, crying brightly.

"Brother, people can't be resurrected after death, you have to mourn and change", hearing the woman's persuasion, Qianduyu woke up from her sad emotions and saw her righteous sister Wu Yongqin standing behind her.

Thinking of revenge, the Thousand Twilight Feather asked the treasure, "Do those Dongying warriors have any whereabouts?"

Wu Bao pointed to a simple shed not far away and said, "Let's talk over there." Walk through that improvised shed, and behind it are two small tents side by side. It turned out that this treasure had a heart, and in order to give this thousand aunts a "seven", a tent was specially set up here to facilitate rotation and rest.

Standing between the two tents, hearing the sound of snoring in the tent one after another, Twilight looked up at the Wubao brothers and sisters, and said softly, "Don't go in."

"The two killers who killed Ningdu Fuyi have been caught, speaking of which, this is still your brother's credit, and the general soldier of Fuhai caught it in the inn with that button. According to the confessions of these two murderers, Dongying's national teacher led more than a dozen samurai to Rongcheng, and this second batch of samurai will soon go to Rongcheng, it seems that the truth about Wu Sanmu and Dongying's collusion with each other has been revealed", Wu Bao stood between the two tents and talked to Qianduyu.

"Yes, are there any whereabouts for the other Toei samurai", Chiwi asked anxiously with a vengeful heart.

"This chief soldier escorted the two murderers, when he went to Jiangning to connect, he may have been recognized, and he didn't connect his head, it should be in this Jiangning area, and the general soldier of things is watching closely these days", Wu Bao said thoughtfully.

"I'm going to survey today," said Twilight anxiously. As if he remembered something again, he suddenly asked again: "Brother Nian doesn't know what's going on."

"Rest assured, brother, I've woken up," Wubao replied confidently.

"By the way, your apprentice named Guisheng came yesterday, and he seemed to be in a hurry, so he didn't see you, and left soon", Wu Bao reminded again.

"Oh, I'll go find them as soon as this is done," Twilight replied.

In the morning, the surface of the river showed the white of the fish's belly, and I saw the sun moving upwards from the river little by little, and after a while, it jumped out of the river, and the sun shone on Ningdu, and a new day began again.

Standing in front of the grave, Qianduyu glanced at the two newly erected tombstones, one is: "The tomb of the loving mother Qianhan Qiulin, the unfilial son Qianduyu stands respectfully", and the other is: "The tomb of the virtuous wife Nian Yingfei, the husband Qianduyu stands respectfully".

said goodbye to the treasure brothers and sisters, and turned around and left with the white lotus and the purple lotus.

Jiangning District is an important distribution center not far from the south of Ningdu, with Jiangning County Ya, which belongs to Ningdu Prefecture. In the past few days, local residents have come to the county government many times to report that their daughter has disappeared mysteriously. It has been spread by the local people, and some families with daughters have changed their color when they hear it, completely restricting their daughters' outdoor activities.

"Yesterday afternoon, Xiao Ju of Zhang Sanshi's family went to the river to wash her clothes for a while, and then disappeared, that girl is handsome, it's a pity", an old man chattered with another aunt next to him.

"Uncle, which river are you talking about" The old man glanced at the old man, pointed to the village not far ahead, and said, "Just behind the village in front, there is a small river, and there are usually few people in that place."

"Childe with such beautiful two girls, but be careful, I heard that a water monster in the Yangtze River came to kidnap girls", the other aunt kindly persuaded Qianduyu.

Twilight nodded in thanks, took the white lotus and purple lotus, and walked towards the back of the village.

There are only a few dozen households in this village, and a small river winds around the back of the village, and when you stand behind the village and look down, a row of dense trees blocks the river, and only a sparsely wooded section of the river bed and a river of clear water are exposed not far away.

The three of them walked through the bushes and saw a small river more than ten feet wide rolling eastward. At this time, it was the rainy season in early summer, and the river was so swollen that the decimal trees near the river were also lost.

Looking across the river, I vaguely saw a village a few miles away. "Could it be that there are really water monsters coming in and out," Twilight said to herself, looking at the river in a daze.

"The river is too shallow for ordinary underwater creatures to come here," Hakuha explained to Twilight.

"Master, look," the sharp-eyed Zihe said, pointing upstream of the river.

Twilight Feather turned her head to look, and saw a small boat coming down the river in the distance, and there were a lot of people wearing it.

The boat went down the river and went fast. When I got closer, I saw that it was a man with four public servants, each of whom was carrying a long knife, and his momentum was extraordinary.

"This is the village," the captain gestured to the village behind Twilight Feather.

"Let's go to the place where the accident happened," said a bearded old man, who seemed to be a capitalist.

The boat flickered past the three of them, and they all glanced at the three of them, and stopped talking.

"Go, follow," the three men re-ashore, following the voices of several people and running down the river.

In that sparsely wooded place, the captain stopped by the river, pointed to a few bluestone slabs that appeared on the surface of the river, and said to the four officials, "This is the place."

Several of the servants jumped out of the boat and looked at a basin of water, a few unwashed clothes, and an arm-thick mallet by the river. "You three are ......," the head asked, looking at the three of them who had come with him.

"We heard about this on the way, too, so let's take a look," Twilight replied softly.

While a few officials were observing and registering the items, the captain had already called a few people from the village.

"Did you see any suspicious people in the village yesterday?" asked a few villagers, who looked at me and I looked at you, and they all shook their heads in unison.

"I heard a few shouts, and I hurried over and saw nothing, maybe it was a water monster," said an aunt with a sigh of relief.

"It must have come by boat, and after taking the captives, it ran downstream", Chiwi Yu said to a few dukes when she saw that the river was swelling and the boat was moving fast.

"More than a dozen girls have disappeared in the past few days, all of them are near this river, it seems that what this son said makes sense", Nadu analyzed thoughtfully.

"Is there any secluded place nearby?" asked a few of the villagers.

"A dozen miles further on, there is a Niuwei Mountain near the river, a huge mountain, and there is only one temple," said one villager.

"Brother Dutou, let's go to that Niushou Mountain to have a look," Twilight Yu reminded Nadutou.

"You are the lord of my county, you can go when you say go", paused, seemed to feel inappropriate, and said to Qianduyu: "Look at this day, it's almost dark when you rush over."

He said to the other three officials behind him, "Let's go, let's go back and report to the county lord", and after speaking, he took the other three officials ashore and walked back.

Looking at the backs of the four officials leaving, Qianduyu said to Bai He and Zi He, "Let's go, let's go and see."
