Chapter 119: Puppet Shadow

The sachet doesn't need anyone to explain what happened to him, Zhou Manyun can guess the cause and effect.

If she hadn't been idle at the beginning, and she would have done one for Gao Wei, the idea of haode was only knotted in her mind and thrown away. The word regret is the most lacking thing in this world, but the most lacking thing is a shop that sells regret medicine, and he can't find a storefront, so Zhou Manyun can only adjust his somewhat disordered breathing and try his best to calm himself.

In the world, the road is always one foot high, and the magic is one foot high.

Previously, he thought that he had restrained the children of the Zhou clan, and sent people to keep an eye on those bandits in Liupanyan, which reduced the risk by seven or eight percent, but the current situation is very different from the previous life. Those people in Liupanyan didn't move at all, and they caught a pheasant and a rabbit all day long, which was very leisurely.

Although Huocheng is not a big city, but it is close to the waterway, in May and June, when there is no big flood tide, there are still a lot of foreign visitors coming and going, plus the crowds of people from surrounding towns and villages entering the city, it is impossible to prevent it.

The carriage at the scene of Zhou Shen's kidnapping was a Baoshan merchant, and he had already gone north with the ship, or with the fleet of the Shunyi boat. The coachman, who was left in the local area to wait for the owner's return, collected a few strings of copper coins from others, and temporarily lent the car to someone for use. In addition, the origin of the car and the white-haired old woman is still unknown.

But there is also a high dimension who is tied. How he was taken away, the statement is not as simple as Zhou Shen's.

The accounts of the doctors, the guys and the patients who came to see the doctor in the hospital were very different, some said that Gao Wei left by himself, and some said that he was taken away by a man in gray, which is not consistent. At that time, there were many people writing from the store and its surroundings. The teenager, who didn't see him for a while, didn't attract much attention.

"As long as people find it, everything else will not be investigated." A large family of people is anxious, and this statement has been agreed by the vast majority of people. Come in their minds. Those bandits who kidnapped people should have been waiting in the city for a long time, and they also figured out the details of the Zhou Mansion, and when they saw that someone was alone, they simply started it neatly.

On the morning of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the search team scattered outside brought good news.

They found Gao Wei in the Cockscomb Mountain, southeast of Huocheng, and settled him in a small village near there.

Cockscomb Mountain is said to be a mountain, but in fact it is just a string of small hills shaped like a cockscomb, and the highest height is not more than 100 meters, but the mountain bag is connected to the mountain bag, and Gao Wei can't tell where he escaped at the beginning. Looking for Zhou Shen can only be spread out and carefully searched little by little.

"In this way, when the place is found, people will ...... It was moved somewhere else, too! Zhou Xian, who was sitting on the chair with a cane, sighed desolately, and a tear hung on the corner of his eye. He had been a magistrate, he had been in charge of criminal charges, and he had dealt with similar kidnapping cases.

At the end of yesterday, a letter of extortion by the kidnappers had been placed in the gatehouse of the Zhou Mansion, and the lion opened his mouth to ask for a million silver. It is beyond the turnover cash that Xiao Zhoufu can afford. It's no longer a way to ransom people with money.

Knowing what Zhou Xian couldn't bear to say, Zhou Manyun bit his lip fiercely.

Although the methods are different, it is the same as when Zhou Heng was tied up, and at first the extortion letter said millions. By the second day, it had reached 2 million, and the frequency of deliveries became measured in hours, and the deliveries gradually escalated. From the child's bloody clothes and severed fingers to the decomposed corpses and the skull with the eyes not closed.

Zhou Tong saw his son's miserable appearance at that time, so he vomited blood. Afterwards. But in March, he passed away.

In the previous life, it was bloody to listen to it. Can't make it reproducible. broke his fate in Fengjin that year, and Brother Shen, who survived, must continue to live.

If you want to find someone as soon as possible, it is obviously not possible to divide the team and find it by luck as before.

Man Yun narrowed his pupils, walked to Zhou Xian's side, grabbed Grandpa's hand and whispered, "Grandpa, I think Gao Wei is still tied up or Xuanhu, can you let me check him?" ”

Unlike most people who think about Gao Wei in a good way, Man Yun has doubts about Gao Wei in his heart.

The cavalry that rushed out from the Xiao Zhou Mansion was halfway down, and was caught by Bai Lu's even more unsympathetic whip, Bai Lu stood on the horse and shouted directly: "Sister Yun, Xue Sujun, who you asked me to check, is not at her house, and it is the Hezhou Mansion that I went to yesterday." ”

In order to verify what he thought, Bai Lu, who had sent Manyun to Xue's house, directly led people straight into the backyard, whipped the people who were watching the yard, and as soon as he asked, he immediately chased after him.

And the state capital? Zhou Manyun, who was sitting in front of Xiao Man, stretched out his hand and grabbed his head, lest he be swept off the horse by the anger rising from his chest. She has always suspected that she can take Gao Wei, who is still studious, from the academy, except for Xue Suyun, who is destined for her previous life, there will be nothing else in Huocheng. As a result, she expected it, but felt even more angry.

Xiao Man helped Man Yun, knocked on both feet, and immediately rushed to the front of the team......

"Where is the person with the surname Gao?" As soon as he got off the horse, Man Yun casually pulled the whip in Xiao Man's hand, pulled it down with his backhand, and pointed directly to the old Zhuangtou.

"The young master drank the tea, and he is lying in the old man's house!" , Zhuang Tou, who was frightened, hurriedly pointed in the direction, if it weren't for someone on the side who reminded that this was the sixth lady of the family, he thought that the female king came to patrol the mountain.

The door was slammed open, and Man Yun rushed in directly under the guards of Bai Lu and Xiao Man.

The boy on the boxwood bed lay on his back, sleeping soundly, and he didn't hear the sound of the door opening.

Thanks to him, he can sleep!

The whip tail in Zhou Manyun's hand went around in her hand again, and she wanted to pull it down directly, but Zhou Shen, who thought that she hadn't found it yet, still held back. For ordinary people, it is very likely that she will tell the truth under the fear of being beaten, but according to her memory of Gao Wei, he still has the fear of swearing to confess.

A plain hand stretched out, and the tip of the forward index finger was dyed a rich purple, strange and mysterious. Because he wanted Bai Lu to help him watch, Man Yun didn't want to touch the silver, so he stared at the "puppet shadow" used for interrogation at his fingertips in advance.

Raising his hand, a deep purple scratch scratched between Gao Wei's eyebrows, and a drop of blood condensed on the purple. Beneath the beads of blood, a small bug that was also purple burrowed into his skin, and no one could see it.

But just like that, Gao Wei, who was brutally ripped by his nails, still didn't wake up, but his breathing became softer and longer.

"Up!" , A whip volley in the air, with Man Yun's words, Gao Wei, who was originally lying flat, sat up straight, his eyes were still closed, but his mouth had already whispered: "I'm up." ”

"Yesterday, on the seventh day of the fifth month, you left Chuanfang Academy?" , Zhou Manyun, who didn't want to waste time, asked the question directly.

If it is a puppet Gu that has been raised with his heart for more than ten years, he can turn the life of the Gu from an ordinary person into a puppet of the caster, and before the Gu worm dies, he will not dare to disobey. But when the insect Gu has not yet grown, it is used as a "puppet shadow", and at most it is like a shadow in the sun, the shadow follows the same shape, and it is still possible to ask questions for two or three moments, as long as the caster is three feet away from the recipient, the insect Gu will die by itself, leaving no trace.

Although it was a bit wasteful, in order to save people, Zhou Manyun couldn't take care of it too much.

Even in his unconscious state, Gao Wei's voice was clear and pleasant to hear about every question, whether it was frightened or excited.

It's just that Zhou Manyun's eyes are getting colder and colder......

After another whip, Zhou Manyun rushed out like the wind as when he came.

"Remember to wash your face in the house! It's dirty! Bai Lu, who stayed in Zuihou, confessed to the old villager. She saw with her own eyes that the purple marks remaining on Gao Wei's face gradually faded, leaving only a dry blood spot, but she still instructed Zhuang Tou to go and destroy the traces again.

The old Zhuang head bowed down, and when the knights who came and went in a hurry walked away, he shook his head, and his intuition was inexplicable.

"Ask the locals who are familiar with the terrain and look for big cattle sheds and the kind of histories with high windows...... Maybe the person has already left, after finding the right place, first ask the next person where the next person is coming from...... Let Uncle Xuanshuang find someone who is good at discerning the movements of livestock, maybe they will use cattle to pull carts...... Go to Zeting Manor to find Mrs. Yu, don't be alarmed, just look at it, and if you have contact with the living, you will immediately send a personal return......"

The team that hurried back to Huocheng became shorter and shorter in the voice of Man Yun.

And the few who followed behind Man Yun did not return to the Zhou Mansion, but directly broke into Yunhuaju.

The situation in Yunhua Curie made Man Yun stunned for a moment.

The second cousin, Zhou Chen, was kneeling in the middle of the courtyard, crying silently. Behind them are the two sisters Manxian and Manjing, and their biological mother, Aunt Sun, kowtowed to the upper room where the Gao family lived like pounding garlic, and kept shouting, "Madam, Brother Shen has lost it, I really don't do Chen'er's business, over the years, how Chen'er is, you are also looking at it in your eyes......"

"What's going on?" , Man Yun, who was holding back a fire, had to stop and ask.

Zhou Chen was still lying on his stomach and was silent. Man Yun understands that the second brother has been blaming himself for being arrested because of the lack of manpower arranged yesterday, and he has been staying up for a day without eating or sleeping. But in the eyes of her thoughts sorted out all the way, the kidnappers just used high-dimensional fishing to catch Zhou Jiazi out of the group, and who to kidnap later, maybe it was just to look at the momentum to determine.

Zhou Manyun couldn't help but sigh and said, "Second brother, the fourth brother's affairs have nothing to do with you, so you don't have to suffer so much." ”

"Sixth sister!" , Man Jing, who has never been very good at Manyun, rushed out crying and said, "If you really think so, you have to tell Grandpa, Grandpa values you the most." Now there are rumors in the house, saying that the fourth brother will be lost, and the second brother sees that his father is going back to the house and wants to harm the second room's sister-in-law. ”

"Who said that!" , Man Yun raised his voice and drank, "Find!" reported to the old lady, and said that I said that there were gangsters in the house to stir up people's hearts, check them one by one, find the root of the cheapness, and directly tie them up, not to mention killing them! ”

If she is not mistaken, it is not Zhou Shen who wants to destroy Zhou Shen alone in this kidnapping, but the entire Zhou family. (To be continued......)
