Outside the city of Huizhou, the sun has not yet begun, and the tea shop has already set up a shed to provide passers-by with a place to rest and drink tea.

"Wang Laosan, is this really the case?" Liu Zhihan asked, pointing to a two-entry house under an old acacia tree at the back of the village.

An old man in simple clothes leaned on his back and said: "I can't be wrong, this pranky Liu Er was originally my neighbor, who was idle all day long, how could he build a courtyard with two entrances, and then I heard the villagers mutter, it turned out that Liu Er didn't do anything right, but did a lot of bad things." It's all black-hearted money. ”

Everyone swept it, and indeed, in this small village, this house is already magnificent.

"The neighbors around here, who hasn't heard the crying coming from Liu Er's house. shouted dad and mother, and the screams of being beaten. Every once in a while, he sees people coming in and out, and he Liu Er doesn't buy maids, why do people want to rush to his house all day long? ”

But what is said to be there is only rumor, and there is no conclusive evidence.

This Song family steward is not afraid, if he can't find the young lady again, he will definitely go back to receive the punishment, rather than this, it is better to search!

offended, it's just a scoundrel.

"Objective, the tea is coming, and the old man uses it slowly." The shopkeeper skillfully served tea to everyone.

"Hey, Xiao Er, your land is just opposite to that house, so you know Liu Er, right?" The Song family steward asked.

"Master, I do know each other, this Liu Er is usually ruthless, I just supply some tea to the old men in the past, and this Liu Er doesn't bother to drink a few sips of tea from me. So I really don't know Liu Er very well, but since the old man inquired about the child, I remembered that Liu Er had strange things on weekdays. ”

"Say." Everyone in the tea shop pricked up their ears and said.

That Xiao Er was a little hesitant, after all, he and Liu Er were also half neighbors, and if he knew about it, he wouldn't want to work here.

Seeing this, the steward of the Song family hurriedly waved everyone away.

Xiao Er said in his ear: "Because my tea stall opened early, so when the sky is still bright, I often see a few figures sneaking into Liu Er's house, looking at this figure, I'm afraid it's not Liu Er himself." ”

"What, really, isn't that what everybody knows? What is there to say. Wang Laosan said with a smile.

"This guest officer, you are all hearsay, and I saw it with my own eyes, so it is naturally a secret." Xiao Er argued.

Everyone laughed, drank tea and waited for Liu Zhihan and the Song family's steward to decide.

Steward Song and others, step by step in the past few days, finally found out some clues suspected of being their own miss, according to Wang Laosan, the day he lost the miss, he happened to see this Liu Er sneakily wandering at the gate of the city. He couldn't help but glance at him twice, and after a while, he saw a strong man stuffing a child into Liu Er's arms and leaving. And Liu Er also sneakily carried the child out of the city, and it was strange to say that the child didn't make a sound at all.

The Song family steward was irritable for a while.

After noon, there were really some intermittent kitten-like cries coming from the house. The crowd listened carefully against the white wall, and it was really like a child's cry.

With a wave of the steward's hand.

And one of his servants went forward.

"Open the door, open the door."

"Which little rabbit cub who doesn't have long eyes knocks on the door so heavily and comes to find fault?" There was an impatient male roar from inside the door.

"Oh, your grandma!" With a look from the steward, everyone kicked towards the door together, and the sturdy wooden door instantly kicked out a big hole.

"Hey, which distinguished guest is it, everything is easy to talk about, and the slave family will come to open the door." There was a woman's coquettish voice in the courtyard, accompanied by the skirt rubbing the ground, the subtle sound of the woman walking, and some scolding, the chaotic sound of things hitting the ground.

After a while, a round and plump face came out, and he was startled when he saw so many men outside the door.

The servant of the Song family had already unceremoniously pushed open the door, squeezed the woman aside, and rushed into the door.

Seeing the menacing crowd, the woman became anxious and shouted into the house, "That dead ghost, who have you provoked again?" ”

There is a flower bed in the middle of the courtyard, on which more than a dozen pots of blooming flowers are displayed, but it is also clean and tidy. When I entered the courtyard, I heard the crying more clearly.

When the door was opened, everyone immediately dispersed and searched for the cry, only to find that the sound was coming from a small, inconspicuous side room that had been locked.

"Where's the key?" Uncle Zhong had already found Liu Zhihan and expressed his intentions, Liu Zhihan was naturally happy, so he looked for someone together. Uncle Zhong had a straight face when he saw this scene, and his perennial darts made him full of evil aura that no one should approach.

The woman trembled with fright.

He shouted into the inner room, "Old immortal, come out and open this door for me." ”

At this shout, everyone was shocked by the male voice they had just heard, and went into the inner room to search, and found no man in the entire house.

"This Liu Er! This damned ghost! The woman understood that Liu Er had an accident and ran away, although she scolded him hundreds of times in her heart, she still held up a smile and said to Uncle Zhong: "I don't know what kind of formation these masters are, this house is used to train a few disobedient little girls, but these are all maids who have signed a deed of sale, and they are not illegal." This key is usually placed on my dead ghost, and I don't know it. ”

"The maid of the deed of sale?"

"Then why do you keep crying?"

"This ...... I don't know if the dead ghost is doing this. I saw him show me a stack of deeds of sale, and I was just in charge of cooking and feeding them. ”

After everyone heard this, they didn't bother anymore, and slammed the door and went in. In the low room, there were more than a dozen children of different sizes, the youngest of whom was only about three years old, and the oldest was only about ten years old.

Steward Song hurriedly stepped forward, looked one by one, and found that there was no young lady, sighed heavily, looked gloomily ahead, and wasted half a day's effort!

Seeing the steward striding out, everyone knew that they were busy in vain, and withdrew a little frustratedly.

"Steward Song, you're just leaving? So, what about these children? Liu Zhihan felt sorry for these children who were tied up when they were only half an age.

"I don't know, I'm in a hurry."

Liu Zhihan ordered the few subordinates left behind to untie the children first, and the girls looked at the visitors timidly, some of them cried even more, and some lowered their heads to prevent people from seeing.

Hearing that these adults were going to untie them, a little girl who was about a teenager raised her head and shouted, "We don't have a deed of sale, we are all innocent children of good families, and it is illegal to buy and sell us, so don't lead us away." ”

Everyone was stunned, and they felt even more sorry for these children.

Liu Zhihan wanted to find the original woman and ask clearly, and when he turned around, the woman who was still in the courtyard wanted to quietly exit the door at this moment.

Uncle Zhong took a few steps forward and grabbed the woman's arm.

"It's rude, the old man bullies the good people every day!" The woman threw herself out of sight.

This Uncle Zhong tore a strip of cloth and blocked the woman's mouth to death.

The children and the women were sent to the government and reported to the government. Hearing that these are kidnapped children, the people of Huizhou were furious, and within a few days, Liu Er, who was hiding in the city, was arrested and confessed with the woman.

This Song family steward already knew the news that the master sent someone to inquire, and he was even more anxious, if this young lady was not found for a day, how could he, the Song family steward, be able to keep it!
