The destination of Sheng Weide and his entourage is the Lingxi Mountain on the southwest corner of Nanfeng County, the Lingxi Mountain is very beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, it is rumored that there was a white rhino in ancient times to haunt here, so it was named.

From Nanfeng County to the foot of Lingxi Mountain, it is about less than a hundred miles, which is not far away, but because of the female dependents, the speed of the carriage needs to be accommodated, but it has to walk for three or four days.

On the third day, when they had already seen Lingxi Mountain, they were caught up - the one who came to the head was Sheng Lanci's most powerful chief steward, Sheng Fu.

"The eldest son, the little one is on the order of the eldest master, and there is something important to inquire!" After Sheng Fu caught up with the team, he didn't have time to greet anyone, he rushed to the carriage first, lifted the curtain, and looked at Sheng Weiqiao from head to foot, confirming that the heart and soul baby of the top boss was not injured except for being suddenly startled by himself, Fang Chang let out a sigh and returned to his usual calm and calm.

confessed, put down the curtain, and then went to see Xu Baomo, seeing that Xu Baomo was fine, he obviously relaxed a lot, after clasping his fists and saluting, without waiting for Sheng Weide to speak, he suddenly thought of something, and his face changed again, "By the way, why didn't you see the third miss and Miss Biao in the car?"

"Cousin and third sister?" This question, not only Sheng Weide, but also Xu Baomo and Sheng Weiche next to him were also shocked, and said in unison, "Didn't they go back to the mansion a long time ago?!"

When Sheng Fu heard this, his face turned pale, and he said, "Didn't Miss Biao and Miss Three travel with the team?

Sheng Weide was at a loss and said: "After leaving the city the day before yesterday, my cousin and my third sister had a dispute for some reason, and they even moved their hands during lunch and dinner, I ...... I thought they were too noisy, so I ordered them to be sent back to the house and handed over to my grandfather!"

"The day before yesterday?!" Sheng Fu heard this, his face became more and more ugly, and he shook the horsewhip hard before he said in a deep voice, "The eldest prince, the two young ladies are only afraid...... I'm afraid that something will happen! The reason why the eldest lord suddenly sent a small one to catch up with him is because someone found a corpse outside the city yesterday, and it was one of the guards who participated in escorting several people on the trip this time!"

The Sheng family is rich and wealthy, and usually does good deeds of building bridges and paving roads, which is a typical representative of the benevolence of the rich vigorously advocated by the government, and the relationship between the two sides is of course very close. The guards in the palace also often corresponded with the yamen officers, and they were familiar with each other, so after the body was sent to the yamen, the identity of the deceased was confirmed without posting.

And when the Sheng family received the news, they naturally suspected that something was wrong with Sheng Weide's group - not to mention that all the older grandchildren of the Sheng family were in the team this time, the safety of Xu Baomo alone, not to mention the Sheng family, the government of Nanfeng County could not sit idly by!

Sheng Fu and his entourage, who will catch up, are the best riding skills and the most outstanding ones, and they are ordered by Sheng Lanci, so after seeing the team, the first to confirm is Sheng Weiqiao's safety, and the second is Xu Baomo's turn.

Originally, seeing that these two were safe and sound, and the whole team didn't mean to panic, Sheng Fu thought it was a false alarm, but the guard was allowed by Sheng Weide and other principals for some reason, and what happened after he left alone, and it had nothing to do with the little masters of the Sheng family and Xu Baomo.

Who knows, but a small group of people, including a young lady and a cousin, are missing?!

"How can this be?!" Sheng Fu looked solemn, but Sheng Weide only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he almost fell off the horse!

He heard that Sheng Weirao and Shen Jiuniang had never returned to the Sheng Mansion, and they could still hold on to the hope of what happened, for example, the sisters were worried that they would be punished by Old Lady Sheng after they went back, so they temporarily hid in other places.

Now that the guards who followed them were actually dead on the side of the road, this made him want to deceive himself and others - no matter what happened to them, Sheng Weide, who was in charge of forcibly sending them back, must bear the brunt of the responsibility!

What's more, even if Sheng Weide has a bad relationship with his half-sister Sheng Weirao, he is not vicious enough to hope that this sister will die, and as for his cousin Shen Jiuniang, he has no grudges against him!

At that time, how will he face them?!

"Such a thing happened!" Seeing that Sheng Weide's face was wrong, Xu Baomo's eyes flashed, and he said, "Then I'll wait for An Neng to continue to visit Lingxi Mountain?"

He came to be a guest, and the Sheng family is not a small family with insufficient manpower, even if two girls are missing, there is no reason to let him personally go into battle to help.

So these words were actually said to Sheng Weide - Sheng Weide heard it, nodded at him gratefully, and said to Sheng Fu: "What Brother Xu said is very true, Uncle Fu, let's go back?"

The reason why Sheng Fu explained the incident in front of Xu Baomo was actually to hope that they would not go to Lingxi Mountain again, after all, even if only Sheng Weirao and Shen Jiuniang had an accident right now, who knows if the person who did it was also eyeing Sheng Weide?

Until the truth of the matter is clarified, safety is paramount.

However, this Sheng Weide echoed Xu Baomo's proposal, but it made him frown secretly, and said in his heart: "No wonder the old lady didn't bring any grandchildren when he went to visit the old marquis Xu before!

- This trip is mainly to entertain Xu Baomo, so after hearing that Sheng Weirao and Shen Jiuniang had an accident, Xu Baomo immediately proposed to give up the tour, which is because he, as a guest, understands the main family, but the main family agrees when he hears it, but it is a sign of disrespect for the guests.

Because this move means that Sheng Weide regards the affairs of the Sheng family as more important than entertaining Xu Baomo, and it is very rude to interact according to human feelings.

If it is replaced by Sheng Fu, he will either solemnly confess to Xu Baomo, and then order Sheng Weiche to continue to accompany Xu Baomo to play in his place, and go back to the county town alone to explain; or directly thank Xu Baomo for his understanding and worry about the safety of his party, so that he will naturally agree to return - like Sheng Weide now, he only nodded to Xu Baomo and said to go back, you must know that Xu Baomo is the first time to come to the Sheng family, and it is not that he grew up with the juniors of the Sheng family, and the friendship between the two sides is not familiar enough to be completely informal, okay?

It's just that in front of everyone, Sheng Fu didn't want to mention this eldest prince, but he thought about telling Sheng Lan to resign after he went back, so as to make up for it, lest Xu Baomo don't say anything and despise the entire Sheng family in his heart.

Seeing that the team had begun to turn around, Sheng Fu and Sheng Weide and Xu Baomo confessed their guilt, and returned to the carriage.

The two sisters were shocked when they heard this, and while they were worried, they regretted not persuading Sheng Weide at that time, and they also felt guilty that they did not accompany Sheng Weirao and Shen Jiuniang to go back together: "In that case, the eldest brother will definitely arrange more escorts, maybe there won't be an accident!"

Sheng Fu was perfunctory in his mouth, but he was secretly glad in his heart - in fact, Sheng Weide arranged four guards, four male servants in the prime of life, and two mothers-in-law to his cousins, not counting the personal maids of the two girls.

The sky is blue, and it is only half a day's journey from the city, who would have thought that something would happen to such a team?

It's a shame that Sheng Weiqiao is not in it, otherwise Sheng Fu doesn't know how to explain to Sheng Lanci?!

They walked back for a short time, and began to meet the follow-up troops who caught up, and when they reached the third group, it was Sheng Lanci who personally led the team.

Hearing that Sheng Weirao and Shen Jiuniang were both missing, and everyone else was fine, Sheng Lanci wiped the sweat on her face, put down the heart that had been hanging, and muttered: "My niece and niece have always been only in the inner house, who will target them?"

Sheng Fu whispered: "Will it ...... Is it for the sake of wealth?"

"It's unlikely to be a temporary start. Sheng Lanci shook her head, "According to De'er, the two children are not lonely, and they are walking on the road where people come and go, but if it weren't for the body of the guard being discovered and the yamen recognizing it, I'm afraid we wouldn't know what happened to them until now - if such a handiwork was done on a temporary basis, how could it be an ordinary bandit?"

And Nanfeng County has been very peaceful in recent years, not to mention the vicinity of the county seat, even in the remote corners, there are no bandits who have become a climate, it is impossible to rob so many people at once, and they haven't even escaped alive!

Sheng Fu was silent: "Master, are you suspicious ......?"

"The most important thing now is to get the two children back!" Sheng Lanci looked at the crowd around him, and only said, "If you work hard, ask them to give you a few horses that still have spare strength, and immediately transfer them back to the city to hang a reward: no matter who it is, as long as the two children can be sent back safely, they will be rewarded with 100,000 taels of silver, and they will be treated as guests!"

"100,000 taels of silver?!" Sheng Fu has followed Sheng Lanci since he was a teenager, and he is used to seeing the scene, and he can't help but be shocked when he hears the words, don't look at Sheng Lanci and go out on a trip, and it costs a thousand taels to buy a dagger for his daughter, that is because the Sheng family is now financially strong, and Sheng Lanci loves his daughter, so he is generous.

As for ordinary people, a family of six has to go to the restaurant every three or five times according to the standard of having enough food and clothing, which is the cost of one or two hundred taels of silver a year.

What kind of number is 100,000 taels of silver, you can imagine!

If there is Sheng Weiqiao among the people who will have an accident, Sheng Lan will give one million taels of silver, and Sheng Fu will not be surprised. But now the two girls are just Sheng Lanci's niece and niece, Sheng Fu can't help but feel a little distressed, after all, the Sheng family's money is not earned by Sheng Weirao and Shen Jiuniang's parents, and he can't help but whisper, "Master, will this amount be too big?" Why don't you open a 10,000 taels of silver first, and then add it in two days depending on the situation?"

"People matter, those two children are girls!" Sheng Lanci's face was gloomy, "You can make more money when the money is gone, what should you do if someone makes a mistake?!This kind of thing must not be slowly increased in price, so if you run into a greedy person, you can make more money by sending someone back a few days later, wouldn't it hurt the child?!"

He exhaled, his eyes full of gloom and worry, "Especially since the two children have disappeared for the third day—if the attackers deliberately take them away and hurry up, they will probably be out of the county!"

As one of the three new powerful families in Nanfeng County, the Sheng family can be regarded as a huge force in Nanfeng County, but when they leave the county, their influence is drastically reduced - at that time, if they want someone to help find the two girls, they can only rely on the power of silver!

However, even if Sheng Lanci offered such a huge reward, after the group returned to the Sheng Mansion, they waited for three days, but Sheng Weirao and Shen Jiuniang still saw no one alive or dead, and there was no news!

The second lady Bai is not a virtuous person, since she looks at Sheng Weide, the yuan and sister-in-law, is not pleasing to the eye, but now she has a reason, three meals a day, and wants Sheng Weide to return her daughter's life!

Sheng Lanxin and his wife, who rushed over after receiving the news, although they were not as straightforward as her, but they also had a lot of grievances against Sheng Weide - but after the reason for the cousins' quarrel was clarified, Sheng Lanci directly asked someone to drag the Bai family back and lock it up, and then toss it back to the Bai family, and don't enter the Sheng family in the future!

After all, if it weren't for Bai's vain attempt to let Sheng Weirao hook up with Xu Baomo, Old Lady Ming would not have asked Shen Jiuniang to participate in the trip, how could the current thing happen? !

This time the spearhead was all aimed at the Bai family, and Mrs. Ming couldn't get rid of it, and it was not good to talk much about being a son-in-law, but Sheng Lanxin cried in public and complained to Mrs. Ming: "What kind of person is the second sister-in-law, who doesn't know up and down here?!" The mother knew that she was teaching Rao'er indiscriminately, but she didn't care about teaching her, but dragged my innocent Jiuniang into the water! I have such a daughter, if I have three long and two short, I don't want to live!!

In fact, Sheng Lanxin also knew that Mrs. Ming was mainly afraid that Sheng Lansi would be involved, so she concealed it for the Bai family, but she thought that her daughter was planning to return to the Shen family, and was coaxed into the travel team by Mrs. Ming's words, and she actually embarked on a road of no return since then, and now she still doesn't know if she is still alive - she can't swallow this breath!

In this case, Feng could only call his daughter to tell him about his eldest nephew's birthday: "Your aunt's words really shouldn't have been said! Originally, your grandmother blamed herself enough, but now I'm afraid you can't think about it? Your father is a man, and he is presiding over the business of finding someone, and he has no skills." In the past two days, I have to take turns with your third aunt to accompany your grandmother, and I really can't leave! Fortunately, your eldest aunt has always been considerate and has already sent someone to bring us a message, so that we don't have to go back this time. However, Zhiren is your eldest cousin, the eldest grandson of the Feng family's generation, and on his birthday, not a serious master of our family will go, and he will not look good. If your brothers and sisters are also older, you will send congratulatory gifts on my behalf, and by the way, you will say hello to the Feng family!"

Sheng Weiqiao pouted: "I'll just go with my father on your behalf, so where is Sheng Sleeping Crane going? What does he have to do with the Feng family!"

"Do you want to enter the ancestral hall again?" Feng sneered, and said slowly, "Your grandfather has been in a very bad mood because of the matter between Rao'er and Jiuniang in the past two days! Do you really want to hit his old man's muzzle? Let's talk about it first, your father and I will be very busy, but I don't have time to intercede for you!"

"......" Sheng Weiqiao walked out of Chengchun Platform aggrievedly, but was stopped by the little girl.
