In the afternoon, it was the time for the girls and benefactors to make up for sleep after the noisy night of Tianxiang Pavilion, and the whole Tianxiang Pavilion was quiet.

Suddenly, the gate of Tianxiang Pavilion was knocked open by Huo Ran from the outside, and a team of hunters dressed in black and red uniforms swarmed in, shouting loudly, and rushing to various vital positions in an orderly manner. Upstairs, the closed windows opened one after another, and the half-crippled girls looked at the excitement one by one, while the benefactors were busy dressing and preparing to slip away. The gold ingot, dressed in white, followed the team and walked in slowly, his face sinking like water: "Everyone wait for me to look at it!" None of the prostitutes are allowed to leave! All of them were brought to the hall to verify their identities and record confessions! ”

"Ouch, my lord, come to check my yard without saying a word!" The disheveled bustard ran down from the upper floor.

"What, I have to notify you in advance if I check a kiln?" Jin Yuan Bao sneered: "I know that there are people above you, and you can always get the news in advance, but it's a pity that this time, no one can protect you!" ”

The old bustard's face was panicked, and his eyes turned straight to stop answering.

The gold ingots ignored it, turned around and ordered loudly: "The old bustard is locked up alone!" Let me know who dares to take her money, and immediately chop off his hand! Wang Qiang, Ma Zhong, take people to the backyard, vegetable cellar, firewood room, and see how many people are locked up! ”

The old bustard didn't dare to make a noise since he was a big governor, so he was quietly taken down by the two catchers.

Wang Qiang and Ma Zhong led people to rush to the backyard; The benefactors came out in embarrassment and were brought into the hall for questioning one by one; The gorgeously dressed fans are not taking hip-hop and hip-hop seriously, and the whole brothel is very lively for a while.

Jiang Xiaoxuan and Jade Qilin rushed in side by side with anxious faces. The jade unicorn ran with a red face, Jiang Xiaoxuan gasped, and the two of them looked at the hall full of warblers and Yanyan. I was dizzy for a moment and quickly stopped.

At this time, a catcher rushed to the gold ingots and reported: "Boss, the back room has been cleared, and a total of thirteen abducted girls have been found!" Ages range from ten to sixteen!"

When Jade Qilin and Jiang Xiaoxuan heard this, they immediately ran to the back hall. Seeing this, the gold ingots immediately followed closely.

In the back hall, thirteen ragged girls hugged each other like lambs. His face was panicked, and he looked at the surrounding officials and others at a loss. There was a bold knowledge that he had been rescued, and he cried with joy.

Jade Qilin and Jiang Xiaoxuan identified each other separately from both sides of the team, but. But it is becoming more and more disappointing...... Eventually. Still didn't see Xi'er's figure, Jiang Xiaoxuan couldn't help choking. The jade unicorn silently put his hand on her shoulder and comforted her softly.

Above the heads of the two of them, there was a calm and faintly concerned voice of gold ingots: "This is the last family in this investigation, and it may not be bad news that no one has been found, at least it shows that Xi'er has not been abducted." ”

Although the two nodded, their faces could not hide their worries.

"Let's go, there's no point in staying here any longer. I'll have you sent home. "Gold Ingot Dao.

The jade unicorn was stunned: "What about you?" ”

"I'm going to ask these girls one by one to see how they were kidnapped and trafficked." looked at the jade unicorn with a haggard look. He softened his voice and said, "I'll come back and tell you as soon as I have a clue." ”

Feeling his relief, Yu Qilin's heart warmed a little, lowered his head, and said very sincerely: "Xie Luxie." ”

Back in the Jin Mansion, Yu Qilin and Jiang Xiaoxuan were still uneasy, and the two sat side by side in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, unintentionally speaking, each looking at the distant water in a daze.

Suddenly, Ah Fu came panting: "Young lady! Young lady! ”

The jade unicorn jumped up, and Jiang Xiaoxuan also stood up nervously.

Ah Fu stopped and gasped, and when the jade unicorn saw this, he immediately sent his tea to Ah Fu and asked eagerly, "How is it?" Xi'er has news? ”

Ah Fu couldn't be humble, and drank it all in one gulp: "Young lady Hui, no." ”

The joy on the faces of the jade unicorn and Jiang Xiaoxuan instantly turned into nothing.

Jiang Xiaoxuan interrogated eagerly: "There is no news of her in my hometown?" ”

"No, Sister Xi'er definitely didn't go back. The neighbors all said that after Xi'er's father and mother sold Xi'er's sister to the in-laws' mansion, they moved away quickly, and there was no news for so many years, no one had seen it, and no one had ever gone back. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxuan sat down on the railing in a dejected manner.

The jade qilin was disheartened and waved his hand: "Thank you for your hard work...... Go down. ”

Ah Fu saw that the two of them had bad faces, so he didn't dare to say more, and tiptoed back.

Jiang Xiaoxuan saw Ah Fu walking away, so she dared to sobbed quietly: "Xi'er, she is alone...... She took care of me since she was a child, but I didn't protect her. ”

"After entering the mansion for so many days, she must be alive and worried every day, like a knife hanging over her head, and I don't know when the road will fall; She was so nervous, but I didn't understand her mind at all, I was only busy with my own business, and I even thought it was too annoying for her to urge me to leave again and again...... I'm sorry for her. I'm too selfish. The jade unicorn felt guilty.

The two looked at each other, and they both felt infinite regret.

Jiang Xiaoxuan stopped her tears, and when she saw that the jade unicorn's face was sallow and her eyes were blue, she couldn't help but persuade her: "Qilin, go back to your room and sleep well, no matter what you do next, you can't stay up for days and nights without sleeping." ”

Jade Qilin shook his head: "Now I can't sleep, you let me be quiet and think about it." Immediately, seeing Jiang Xiaoxuan's anxious look, she smiled reluctantly, "I'll sit alone for a while, and when I'm tired, I'll go back to my room." You don't have to worry about me. ”

Seeing that she was resolute, Jiang Xiaoxuan nodded helplessly, got up and pressed her shoulder: "We all have to take care of ourselves." ”

"Hmmm......"

Jiang Xiaoxuan left suddenly, and the jade unicorn sat alone in the pavilion, like a statue, motionless. As the sun sets, her silhouette fades into the dusk.

I don't know when Lu Dao was, next to the shadow on the ground, there was another shadow, so familiar......

The jade qilin looked at the shadow, but he didn't even raise his head, but just asked hopelessly, "There is no clue, is it?" ”

"There are clues to some shrimp soldiers and crab generals......" Jin Yuan Bao looked at her figure, only felt a slight sour in his heart, and only said after a while, "However, there is no news of Xi'er." ”

"I saw you and you guessed." The jade unicorn sighed, no longer disappointed. "If there is a clue, you will probably have come back directly with Xi'er."

The trust she unintentionally revealed made Jin Yuanbao's heart warm, and she looked at her haggard face. Jin Yuan Bao hesitated for a moment, and unexpectedly comforted with unprecedented warm words: "Xi'er has no wealth and no power, and she can't go far alone, I think, there will be news soon." ”

The jade qilin heard the warmth in his heart and smiled slightly: "Yuanbao, it's rare for you to speak so comforting today." This illustrates. Even you don't think it's good. ”

was said to be the central matter, and the gold ingots couldn't help but feel a little weak, but. Seeing her stunned look again, I couldn't bear it, so I slowly sat down beside her, reached out and put my arm around her shoulders and pulled her towards him.

"I think you're also a long-term master. Running away from a maid is like mourning. I can't bear it, and I do my duty to comfort you, why don't you appreciate it? Do I have to go back to my true colors? That's okay too! ”

The gold ingots were originally well-intentioned to try to liven up the atmosphere, but when the jade qilin heard the word "Xianggong", he felt even more piercing, and it was difficult to deal with himself, so he gently broke free from the gold ingot's arm.

"Ingot Treasure. Thank you. Still, you'd better leave me alone. ”

The gold ingots saw the jade unicorn's tone was sparse. Just when she was all sad for Xi'er, she was no longer reluctant, got up and said, "Okay." I'll come back when I'm done, get some sleep, and continue looking for it tomorrow. ”

Watching his shadow gradually disappear beside him, looking at the ground and turning into a lonely shadow of himself again, Yu Qilin only felt that his eyes were sour.

The sun is shining, the sunset is red, and it is a good weather.

Liu Wenzhao stood at the desk with his arms behind his back, and there was a dripping wild grass on the desk, "Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles." Brushing off the clothes and going away, hiding deep with the name. ”

Next to the bookcase, a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes looked at Liu Wenzhao with a smile: "The master of the villain said that Li Taibai's chivalrous behavior is what he likes, and this pair of words is written happily and vividly." The master of the villain said, I think you are all right, but you are a little less decisive, so the villain is specially appointed to give you this pair of words that he has treasured for many years, hoping that it can give you some help. ”

"It's hard work, please tell your lordship, Liu Wenzhao understands it." Liu Wenzhao quietly picked up the tea bowl next to him.

The man stood still: "The master said, whether this word is good or not, I have to ask Liu Wenzhao to give me an accurate word!" ”

Liu Wenzhao raised his head, the two of them met their eyes, and under the man's harmless smile, there was a faint threat......

Liu Wenzhao took a deep breath and said slowly: "Please tell your lordship that Liu Wenzhao knows that he will live up to the good intentions of the lord." ”

The man smiled with satisfaction and retreated.

After the man left, Liu Wenzhao instantly felt like he had been drained of all his strength, and sat down in the chair, looking at the big characters in front of him, his face gloomy.

Ah Gui sneaked in quietly like a shadow, Liu Wenzhao came back to his senses, and hurriedly sat up, his face full of anticipation.

Ah Gui stepped forward and whispered, "Childe, the news you want has been found." The Yu clan of Emeishan, claiming to be a widow, moved from the direction of the capital 20 years ago, and lived by sewing, and has never left Emeishan since then, let alone to Nanjing Jiangfu; Four years later, the Yu family adopted a roadside abandoned baby, named Jade Qilin, and raised it alone, and the two were commensurate with each other and had a deep relationship. Jade Qilin, it is said that she is beautiful......" He paused, and then said: "The villain showed the portraits to the neighbors, and they all said that the Jade Qilin and Jiang Xiaoxuan, the young lady of my Jin Mansion, are extremely similar in appearance, and they are simply a person. It is said that some time ago, the jade unicorn suddenly took his uncle back to Ning, only stayed for a day, and then left again, and his uncle's appearance was exactly the same as that of Young Master Jin in my house. ”

After Agui finished speaking, he stood quietly aside and waited.

Liu Wenzhao's expression changed several times in a complicated manner, and finally spoke, but it was irrelevant, he knocked on the paper with his hand, and said lightly: "Your Royal Highness just sent someone to send me this word." ”

Ah Gui looked at it and said with some astonishment: "The villain is illiterate." ”

It's a poem by Li Bai, long story short...... His Royal Highness thought that the gold ingots were in the way, and urged me to do something to him as soon as possible. ”

Ah Gui was slightly surprised, and said respectfully: "If the son is sent, the little one will not obey." ”

Liu Wenzhao shook his head, "It's a big matter, I haven't thought about it yet, it's easy to get rid of a person, what is the difficult time to get rid of it, and what ...... can I get after getting rid of it" After pondering for a while, he changed the topic and asked: "Ah Gui, you say, this jade unicorn, is it our young lady now?" ”

"The villain is blunt...... However, these narratives are all right with the young lady. ”

"Yes, everything ......is right," Liu Wenzhao smiled slightly, "There are many things that I couldn't figure out before, such as the dignified old daughter who can't serve tea and knows martial arts, and it seems that there are explanations...... In this case, I want to verify this matter and make good use of it. The young master of the Jin Mansion and the young lady of the Jin Mansion each have their own secrets, and I, Liu Wenzhao, have to inquire carefully before I can decide, the noble man of the Second Highness, what should I know and what I should not know...... I'll have to do the math too. (To be continued......)
