Brother Jiu jumped up and rushed out of the study: "Old Wu! Old Wu! ”

Wu Qiqi hurriedly ran over: "Master? ”

"Where's Sjepan!"

"Huh? Didn't the master send him out on an errand? Wu Qiqi muttered, "He also asked me to find the account room and pay ten taels of silver......

Brother Jiu was so angry that he wanted to slap him: "Who said I sent him out on errands!" He is a foreigner, and he doesn't even know which direction the Forbidden City is, what can he do! ”

Wu Qiqi was also stunned: "But Sjepan himself said ......"

"He lied to you! Why can't you even see this! Brother Jiu hated him so much that he turned around and ran back to the study.

He took the note and read it again, it was Sjepan's words, and he said sorry...... What is he sorry for himself!

The more Brother Jiu thought about it, the more angry he became, he was angry and worried: a foreigner in the 21st century, a scientist who studies embryos, wants to break into the world in the Qing Dynasty with ten taels of silver, and he doesn't know how to die when he dies!

No, we have to go to him!

The search continued late into the night.

Brother Jiu returned home exhausted, but he didn't find any clues.

A big living person, a foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes, a modern foreigner who can't even speak standard Beijing...... I was able to run away from under his nose!

There is such a thing!

The more Brother Jiu thought about it, the more angry he became, so angry that he smashed the cup and kicked the bench, and everyone in the mansion was frightened by him: I had never seen him get so angry.

It's obviously not enough to just take the slave to find it himself, Brother Jiu calmed down and thought about it, he needs to find some more people! He's going to send a city-wide notice!

However, Brother Jiu didn't dare to make a big deal out of it after all, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain it if he made trouble with Kangxi.

Fortunately, he still has some powerful connections, so the secret order is passed on: as long as you see a lone Westerner with blonde hair and blue eyes, you will immediately report to him.

As a result, three days passed, and that guy seemed to have gone into the ground, and he didn't even see a single hair!

Good you Sjepan! It's out of breath! The ability is great, and I actually learned the method of retreat!

Of course, it was impossible for Sjepan to learn any way to escape from the land, so on the fourth day, the news came: someone saw him on the way out of Beijing, and he was riding a horse.

Brother Nine wants me to rely on! When did this guy learn to ride a horse? Why didn't the horse turn him upside down?!

At the same time, another news came that a wealthy family near the suburbs of Beijing had lost his horse.

He stole the horse in love.

At the same time, the family also reported that not only the horses were lost, but also a lot of steamed bread and flatbread, which were prepared to be eaten by the short-term workers in the field, but they were all stolen overnight by someone who did not know who.

As well as the missing items: two sets of coarse cloth clothes, a pair of shoes, a bag of dates, and a bag of peanuts.

Brother Nine was happy: Okay, this guy actually learned to steal!

…… I didn't steal any money.

Brother Jiu secretly thought that he only had ten taels of silver in hand, and he had saved a little flower, which could be spent for a month or two. But money runs out one day.

At that point, will you have to start stealing money?

I don't think Sjepan would have done that kind of thing.

But I'd better get him back before he becomes a beggar. Brother Jiu thought, otherwise it would be too pitiful, a scientist, asking for food or something in the Qing Dynasty...... I really can't afford to lose that person.

Two days later, someone reported to Brother Jiu, saying that he had seen the traces of Sjepan in a town north after leaving the capital.

Brother Jiu hurriedly ordered, "Show him for me!" Stare at it! I'm here! ”

Then he took the men and rode fast horses in the direction of the news.

Why is Sjepan there? Brother Jiu thought to himself, why go north instead of other directions?

What's in the North?

Is he going to the Northeast? What was he doing there?

Suddenly, Brother Jiu's brain flashed lightning, and he suddenly understood where Sjepan wanted to go.

He's not going to the Northeast, he's going to go further north than the Northeast.

He's going back to Russia!

Thinking about this, Brother Jiu couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

Hurry up, it took a day and a night for Brother Jiu to rush to the source of the news. When he arrived at the place, naturally someone from the government responded, but at this time, Brother Jiu learned something that made him even more angry: Sjepan was gone.

"Tell you to keep an eye on him, how can you lose it?!" Brother Jiu was so angry that he almost whipped the official who reported the news, "I've chased it here, I'm so tired on the road that the horses are foaming at the mouth, you tell me now that you don't know where he went?!" ”

The official fell to his knees on the ground, frightened: "The ninth master spares his life!" Xiaguan is asking people to stare at it, the foreigner was still in the broken temple the night before, Xiaguan didn't dare to startle the snake, so he thought of a way, asked someone to steal his horse, Xiaguan thought, now he can't go. Who knew that the sky was bright, and there would be no one in the broken temple! The lower officials have already asked people to look around, but they haven't seen ......"

The matter has come to this point, even if the head of this little official is pulled off, it will not help.

Calm down, Brother Jiu thought, where will Sjepan go?

The horses are gone, and it will take a lot of effort to steal another one, and that guy is not a habitual thief, so it must be difficult to think about it.

Most of them rely on two feet, Brother Jiu thought, since this is the case, how can he not escape from this territory within a radius of dozens of miles!

Then give the order and look for it! The net is laid in this area! Even if Sjepan is hiding in the corners, he must find out!

As soon as the order was conveyed, the entire county town was suddenly filled with officers with nervous expressions, and even the knife and pen officials were thrown out to find someone. At this time, their errands had to be stopped, and the administrative operations of the county government were disrupted. Brother Jiu secretly thought, this is an abuse of public power, right?

A few days ago, he accused the eighth elder brother of being "barbaric and backward". In fact, if you are in a hurry, aren't you just like them?

He sat in the empty county office, the county lord who usually acts as a prestige, at the moment he was waiting to the side with a yellow and fat big fleshy face, standing or sitting, in fact, this county order happened to be the person of the ninth elder brother, in a sense, it was regarded as the slave of the ninth elder brother - Wu Seventeen's son was released and became a small official, and he came to kowtow to the ninth elder brother last month, because he was a slave born in the family, and it was the master's grace to be an official when he was released. The county order in front of him is the power of Wu Seventeen's son.

He never expected that the backer would come to his own county, at this moment he wanted to meet the ninth elder brother, but he was afraid that he would be angry, and if he didn't say a good word, the red top on his head would be explained.

Sitting in the county government and drinking two sips of tea, Brother Jiu still felt anxious, and he didn't want to stay here all the time waiting for news, so he simply grabbed the horsewhip, got up and took people out.

He didn't know where to go, he just walked around outside with people and horses, and he couldn't find Stepan in the house anyway, right? It's better to come out and ask for news.

From morning to noon, I saw that the shadow of the sun was gone, and there was still no news. Brother Jiu was hot and tired, and he was irritable, and he didn't want to go back to the county office, so he took someone to sit down in a restaurant on the street, asked for a pot of wine, and ordered two dishes.

Brother Jiu was in a bad mood, and the entourage didn't dare to squeak, so they all sat silently and ate lunch. At noon, it was the turn of spring and summer, and the weather was just beginning to get hot, and the whole street seemed very quiet, the willow trees were hanging limply on the side of the road, and the yellow dog was dozing off in front of the shop.

At that moment, a commotion broke the lifeless silence.

The noise came from the Yuelai Inn across the street, Brother Jiu and his entourage couldn't help but look up, only to see a few people gathered around the stairs of the inn, the sound was quite loud, Brother Jiu listened attentively, and in the noise, he heard a familiar voice: "...... I have already given you the money, why do you drive me away? ”

Brother Jiu suddenly jumped up from the chair and slammed the wine glasses and dishes on the table!

didn't care about the painful place, Brother Jiu pulled his legs and ran to the other street, the entourage was frightened, and they didn't care about taking things, so they ran over with Brother Jiu!

When I arrived, I saw the innkeeper and the two shopkeepers standing on the stairs, surrounded by a tall man in coarse cloth clothes and scolding.

When he heard it again, he saw the shopkeeper scolding: "All the servants of the city are taking you!" Didn't you do me a curse if you left me here? I've kindly let you stay for one night, and you're supposed to have enough of it! Argue with me here! Be careful, I take you to the government! ”

Si Jie Pan didn't notice the Nine Elder Brothers downstairs, he still tilted his head and argued with the shopkeeper: "It's because you promised me not to tell me about my stay here, that I gave you so much silver!" You took my money and only let me stay for one night, and you were going to drive me away! Good! I can go, you give me back the money!" ”

Xiao Er laughed: "Who said that our shopkeeper received your silver in advance?" You go and ask around, the customers in this store are all out of the store! ”

"That's right! Our shopkeeper hasn't let you settle the bill yet! You're in luck! If you don't leave, be careful that we sue the government and let the messenger take you! ”

Sjepan's face turned pale with anger at what they said, and he clung to the railing of the staircase, gritted his teeth, and said, "I won't leave!" I'm not leaving! I gave double the money! You are blackmail! It's against the law! ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he laughed: "Illegal? What kind of law have we violated? ”

"That's right! If you have the ability, you can sue! If you have the courage to go to the official, we will follow you!" ”

"I'm not going! Get out of the way! I'm going back to my room! I gave the money! ”

Seeing that he insisted on going upstairs, the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper were also on fire, and the three of them reached out together and pushed Sjepan down!

Sjepan was so the three of them that he didn't hold the hand holding the railing for a while, and he actually leaned back and was about to fall down the stairs! (To be continued.) )
