In the afternoon, Xu Xuan took the things used for apprenticeship and went to the double tea workshop to apprentice, according to the address that Cheng Fang left for himself, this location is in the black building diagonally opposite the Qiu Wangfu of the double tea house.

When Xu Xuan arrived at this place, it was just after noon, Xu Xuan hesitated for a moment, this time passed, maybe Cheng Fang was eating, it was too abrupt, so he walked around the road. Unconsciously, when I came to the Qiu Wang's Mansion, I saw that the Qiu Wang's Mansion, which had been once invincible, had long lost its former prestige, because the case was not over, the soldiers guarding it had not been removed, and there were still people entering and exiting from this mansion, and the left and right were just evidence of the crime of confiscating the property of the Qiu Wang.

At this time, there was a commotion, and I saw Mr. He, who had come to Qingyutang with Cheng Fang, come out of this mansion with a sad face, followed by Li Gongfu, who was also frowning.

"Brother-in-law!" Xu Xuan looked at Li Gongfu and walked closer, stretched out his hand and patted Li Gongfu.

"Hey," Li Gongfu was taken aback by Xu Xuan's action, but he was relieved to see Xu Xuan's appearance, "Second brother, do you know that people are scared to death!" ”

Xu Xuan glanced at the palace and asked suspiciously, "Brother-in-law, is your county government also involved in the affairs of the palace?" ”

Li Gongfu shook his head, "How is it possible, Yang Zhixian in the county government saw King Qiu for the first time, and was slapped twice by others, although the lord doesn't say it on weekdays, who doesn't know that the lord holds a grudge against the king of Qiu, where can he get mixed with them?" ”

"Where are you here?"

"Alas, isn't it the case of this missing girl that caused trouble? All the clues show that Qiu Wangfu participated in the kidnapping of the girl, this bitter lord heard about it, and came to the yamen to find people, Yang Zhixian also attached great importance to it, and immediately lined up for us to come here to assist Mr. He to arrest the head and solve the case, which was fine, but last night the key person in Qiu Wangfu committed suicide in prison. Actually, who doesn't know that this is some people, afraid that this guy will bite them out and kill people, such people will die when they die, but this girl has not been found yet, the case is here, the clues are completely broken, all the people are used to check the palace, and no one can be found, the people below are waiting for important people, Yang Zhixian and the prefect's yamen on the top are urging us every day, and I and Mr. He are going to die of worry" Li Gongfu said, took off his hat and scratched his head.

Mr. He, who was next to him, was also depressed, "The case was about to come to light, but for this reason, it became a headless case, but except for the guy who died, everyone else said that they didn't know where those girls were kept!" It's been two days, and I can't find those women, I'm afraid they're going to starve to death in this secret room. ”

Li Gongfu looked at Xu Xuan, but his eyes lit up, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Xuan and asked, "Second brother, I know you have a lot of ghost ideas, the last time I found those girls' cases, it was the idea you gave, and you must have good ideas this time,"

Xu Xuan smiled bitterly, "Brother-in-law, you think too highly of me, I'm just an ordinary person, where do I have such a great ability, I can't help it." ”

Mr. He, who was on the side, had been physically and mentally exhausted by this case, although he heard Li Gongfu say that Xu Xuan had a lot of ideas, he didn't care, in his mind, this is an ordinary child, even if he knows how to practice medicine to save people, is it more powerful than their old criminals? However, he can't find anyone if he wants to break his head now, so he still said to Xu Xuan in the spirit of having one more person and multiple thoughts, "Xu Xuan, if you have an idea, say it, this is to save people, if you come up with a way earlier, maybe you can save a person's life."

Xu Xuan listened to Mr. He's words, thinking of the family who followed Li Gongfu to explore the bitter master, the parents were full of hope and worry, his heart ached, no, I have to help these people, put myself in their shoes, these girls are locked up in a dark place, they haven't eaten for a day at this time, quietly waiting for death in the dark, this feeling is really cruel, they are victims, they are innocent!

Xu Xuan paced back and forth on the ground, lowered his head and thought for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he turned to Mr. He and Li Gongfu and said, "Mr. He, brother-in-law, I thought of a way, but this method is also a stupid way, and it is very difficult to use, so I hope the two of you are prepared." ”

Originally, Mr. He's arrest was just a kind word, but now that Xu Xuan really came up with a way, he hurriedly asked, "Say it quickly, we are struggling in trouble, and we also have to find out people." Otherwise, we will be derelict in our duties, and the day the king will be condemned, and your brother-in-law and I will be imprisoned. ”

Xu Xuan heard that Li Gongfu was also involved, and hurriedly said, "This matter must be kept secret, the key person you said died, this case may not be able to be investigated, after all, this person can't do everything by himself, thinking about the diet of so many people, it is also a big number, so among the people or eunuchs in the palace, someone must have also sent food,

You can interrogate the servants in the palace one by one to protect the eunuchs and palace maids, and promise that they will be punished lightly if they say it, of course, it is okay to scare them, for example, the men will be sent to the frontier as cannon fodder, and the women will be sent to the military camp as camp concubines, and the eunuchs will all be pulled out and beheaded, and then select a few people who may know the inside story, and after the interrogation, pretend that they have confessed something, and give them good food and drink."

Mr. He, who was on the side, had already woken up, "You are inducing a confession, but I think this method is still feasible, anyway, we have no other way now."

Li Gongfu also said happily, "Okay, I'll arrange someone to interrogate, find out as soon as possible, and let's get better!" ”

Xu Xuan hurriedly stopped the two, "Two, wait, I have to add two sentences, considering that there are people who are in the same stream as the enemy king are killing people and destroying their mouths, so, during this interrogation, you must choose people who are close to you, and then you must keep the results of the interrogation secret, otherwise, let those guys know our plan, I'm afraid this time it will be in vain."

"Okay, let's arrange it! Xu Xuan, thank you so much this time, if you really solve this case, there will be no reward for you above, and I have to thank you well! Mr. He patted Xu Xuan's shoulder and strode towards the palace.

"Xu Xuan, you're going to apprentice, right? Remember where Mr. Cheng is, be respectful to the teacher, study hard, give Xu's family a long face, and give your brother-in-law a long face! Li Gongfu patted Xu Xuan's shoulder,

"Don't worry, brother-in-law, I know, you can hurry up and get busy." Xu Xuan said to Li Gongfu.

Looking at the two who disappeared in the Qiu Wangfu, Xu Xuanchang took a long breath and turned around and walked towards the black building opposite the palace.
