Dongfang Shuo walked in the void.

By the time he had traveled thousands of miles back to the city of Kuidou, the entire city was covered in dark clouds and heavy rain.

He rubbed shoulders with a familiar Roc bird, and he only glanced at it before paying more attention.

At this moment, there is only one thing that haunts him.

And he didn't even care about the rain falling on his body, and with his already soaked clothes, he fell outside the Dongfang Mansion and broke in.

In the house, the family and the maids ran around, anxious.

Everyone can see how important Ji Zhaoning is to Dongfang Shuo, and her sudden disappearance will naturally make the entire mansion restless.

"House ......"

Seeing Dongfang Shuo coming in the rain, the housekeeper hurriedly greeted him with an umbrella.

But Dongfang Shuo directly knocked off the umbrella in his hand, and his eyes swept coldly on his face, which directly frightened him.

"Who was the person who took care of her? Who was the last person to see her, and who was the first person to find out that she was missing?"

Dongfang Shuo asked three questions in a row.

Looking at his eyes and listening to his tone, the butler should understand how angry he really is.

Naturally, the latter did not dare to slack off at all, and was busy calling the two maids in the house.

One of them was named Cai'er, who was the person in charge of taking care of Ji Zhaoning at that time, and the first person to find out that Ji Zhaoning was missing.

"You say," Dongfang Shuo looked at Cai'er, "what were you doing when she disappeared?"

"I ...... I followed Miss Ji's instructions and went to make porridge for him. ”

"Porridge?" Dongfang Shuo stared, "Won't you let others do this kind of thing?!"

But Miss Ji said...... Said she wanted to sleep for a while and let me make porridge......"

"Palm. ”

Oriental Shuo Road.

"What...... What?"

Cai'er was stunned for a moment.

Dongfang Shuo squinted: "Do you want me to help you, do you want your widow to lose your daughter?"

Cai'er's expression froze, and she was immediately startled.

Smack......

So, a slap sounded on Cai'er's face.

She knew that Dongfang Shuo was not a good person, so she had to believe that Dongfang Shuo would do what he said.

"Do you know why I want you to slap your mouth?" Dongfang Shuo asked, but soon continued, "You have been born in Kuidou County for seven generations, and you are not a high-ranking official, and your foundation is clean, so I allow you to take care of her." But no matter how many times you've been on duty, you've been taking care of her for half a month, but you don't even know that she can't eat after waking up?!"

"In addition to her, there are also people who are responsible for teaching her, all settle the monthly money, and then throw it out," Speaking of this, Dongfang Shuo looked at the housekeeper coldly, "However, not a single gold coin is allowed to send them, in addition, if I let me know who dares to use the question to play, I will pick his skin." ”

"Yes!"

The housekeeper nodded hurriedly, and immediately left with Cai'er.

And after Cai'er left, Dongfang Shuo's eyes fell on the other maid.

This maid was the last person to see Ji Zhaoning.

"What was she doing then?"

“...... She...... She didn't do anything. ”

"So what are you doing?"

"I ......"

Say. ”

"I'm catching butterflies. ”

"Catch butterflies, but the last time you saw Ji Zhaoning?"

"Yes, Miss Ji at that time...... The young lady helped me catch the butterfly, and then she left, and I didn't ask much. ”

"Catch butterflies...... Catch butterflies?"

Dongfang Shuo's mind suddenly buzzed, and then he stepped forward and grabbed the maid's shoulder, "You said she helped you catch butterflies?"

"The Lord...... It hurts ......."

"You lie. Dongfang Shuo put down his hand, "Look into my eyes, you say it again." ”

The maid raised her eyes and looked at him.

The two looked at each other, and the maid repeated Fang Cai's words very fluently.

Catch a butterfly......

A man who can't see anything, catching butterflies?

Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but lower his gaze.

"What are you doing in the house?"

"The back kitchen helps the cook. ”

"When did you come?"

"Three...... 3 days ago...... It was my aunt who was sick and said that I would replace her for a few days. ”

"Really, have you seen Ji Zhaoning?"

"Of course I've seen the first beauty in the county, but I could only see it from a distance a few times before. ”

"Then you don't know, what's wrong with her?"

She ...... It looks a little weak, but it doesn't look like it's sick, huh?"

"She was born blind, she doesn't even know what butterflies look like," Dongfang Shuo looked at her and asked, "You said she helped you catch butterflies?"

The maid's eyes widened.

"Yes...... But what I said is true......" The maid looked shocked, "but how is this possible, her eyes are obviously no different from ordinary people, and I can see her smiling at me." ”

Dongfang Shuo was silent.

In the past six months, she has indeed changed too much.

If it were just a brief face, few people might be able to see that she was actually blind.

"Is there anything special about her?"

Oriental Shuo Road.

"As usual, beautiful and dignified, gentle and touching, I didn't see anything special. ”

"Think about it. ”

Dongfang Shuo stared.

The maid, who was taken aback, immediately redoubled her efforts to recall.

Finally, a picture flashed through her mind.

"Letter, letter!" said the maid, "as if she had a letter in her hand." ”

"Faith, what kind of letter?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

As soon as he asked, the maid groped around her body and took out an envelope.

Taking the envelope, Dongfang Shuo's gaze was fixed on it.

This letter is very familiar, it is the letter that the little girl handed over to Ji Zhaoning a few days ago.

"Why is this letter in your hand? Why is there only an envelope, but what about the letter inside?"

"Miss Ji used this to help me catch the butterfly, and the butterfly stopped on this envelope very obediently, so Miss Ji handed the envelope to me along with the butterfly, as for the letter...... I really didn't see ......"

"Didn't see ......?"

Dongfang Shuo stared.

If what she said was true, then it was Ji Zhaoning who gave her this empty envelope.

On the other hand, the letter inside must be in Ji Zhaoning's hands.

"Mansion Master!"

At this moment, a man came from outside, half-kneeling beside Dongfang Shuo, "I have asked you to search the whole city, and there is no trace of Miss Ji." ”

"Rubbish!" Dongfang Shuo shook off his hand holding the envelope, and scolded angrily, "I can't find it in the city, won't I look for it outside the city?

"Yes!"

The master answered, and hurriedly turned around.

"Wait,"

However, before he could run a few steps, Dongfang Shuo suddenly said, "The others go outside the city to look for it, and you go to the Three Counties Patrol Mansion and ask them to check this letter for me," Dongfang Shuo picked up the envelope, "If the source of this letter cannot be found within half an hour, let all the people in the palace apologize for their suicide." ”

These words made the master suddenly excited.

"Mansion Master, that's the patrol of the three counties, the highest-ranking feudal official in the southern Xinjiang of the empire!

The master hurriedly turned back.

Dongfang Shuo let go, and the envelope fell in front of him.

"Either give me the results in half an hour, or you can go and see your wife and children for the last time. ”

Oriental Shuo Road.

The master's gaze froze.

The next moment, he picked up the envelope and rushed out of the mansion in a hurry.

Dongfang Shuo's eyes moved, and he looked at the maid on the side.

The maid's face was pale.

She only felt that the man in front of her, whom he had admired very much, looked like a Hades at the moment.
