said that Xu Xuan had not returned home with Li Gongfu, but he saw that at the door of Xu's mansion, several yacha were talking to Xu Jiaorong, who opened the door.

Li Gongfu frowned, a smile appeared on his face, and shouted at the yacha over there, "Brothers, what's wrong?" ”

The yacha at the door looked back, and then found Li Gongfu who came over, and said with a smile, "Haha, Gongfu, you are back, it just so happens that the yamen has something to do, let all the vacationers go back quickly!" Well, you can go back with your brothers."

"I don't know what the situation is in the yamen?" Li Gongfu heard that it was official business, so he asked.

The first yacha, listening to Li Gongfu's question, said with a sad face, "Alas, Gongfu, you just came back and don't know what, recently young women in the county have disappeared frequently, somehow, by the prefect knows, limited the lord to solve the case within seven days, the lord for this matter, will be worried to death, to us set a limit, this is not, Lei Tou and Yao Tou, are more than time, was beaten by the lord, the two can not lead the class, so today has to be me, but if it is three days still can't solve the case, I guess I'll have to go home with them to recuperate. ”

Li Gongfu said: "The case of missing people, according to the experience of Yao Tou and Lei Tou, should be easy to find out. Didn't these women have been dating other people before, taking advantage of their family's unpreparedness, so they sneaked away with those people? ”

When he heard this, his face became even more sad, "We can all think of it, Yao Tou also thought of what he sent someone to ask, these missing women are either well-off families, or women in big mansions, and even women from official eunuchs, if it is an ordinary family, then it's fine, but a woman from a big family, the home is well guarded, how can she leave without knowing it?"

Yao Tou and Lei Tou two, in these houses searched for several days, but no clues were found, and now I am replaced, I have no choice, it seems that I have to honestly wait for the board in three days. ”

Li Gongfu comforted the yacha a few words, and heard that they were going to keep an eye on the house of the boss of the silk village next to Xu's mansion tonight, so he said to Xu Jiaorong and Xu Xuan, "I'll go to the yamen to report, and I'll come to look for you tomorrow."

After that, Li Gongfu said goodbye to these yacha and walked towards the yamen. Looking at Li Gongfu's figure gradually moving away, Xu Xuan admired this brother-in-law very much, but he felt that something was wrong.

He lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and then suddenly looked up at Xu Jiaorong, "Sister, you said that you want to get married, you didn't tell Brother Li, right?" ”

Xu Jiaorong glanced at it wryly, "When he left, he told me that he was going to marry me when he came back, can this still be fake?" A few days ago, the elders of his clan had already looked at the days, and said that the sixteenth of this month was very good......"

Xu Xuan heard Xu Jiaorong say this, and couldn't help but hold his forehead, this sister of hers is not confused when she looks at it on weekdays, why did she make such a mistake in such a big event now? I didn't explain the marriage to the groom, and I didn't even tell anyone the date, so I wanted to play there. If Brother Li is delayed because of the matter, my sister will make a big joke this time.

Thinking of this, Xu Xuan really didn't know how to tell Xu Jiaorong, so he just shook his head and followed Xu Jiaorong back home.

However, now the Xu family is scarce, and today there is even less Xu Xian, which seems a little deserted, there are dozens of houses in the house, only these three people live, it is inevitable that people are a little scared, and at that time, Xu Xuan and Xu Xian's brothers were young, so they have always followed Xu Jiaorong to sleep in a room, but Xu Xuan and Xu Xian are in the inner room, and Xu Jiaorong is in the outer room.

Xu Xuan, who was tired all day, had dinner with Xu Jiaorong and fell asleep. It's just that in the middle of the night, Xu Xuan was anxious to urinate, woke up from his sleep, got up from this bed, and was about to relieve himself, but at this time, he only heard the sound of rustling footsteps outside the door.

At this time, Xu Xuan's sleepiness disappeared, Nima, there are only three of his sisters and brothers in this house! Xu Xian didn't come back, Xu Jiaorong slept in this house with herself, where did the footsteps come from outside?

At this time, the faint footsteps stopped outside the room where Xu Xuan was, and then I saw the white paper pasted on the window, which was slowly poked open by a black finger, and then, it seemed that the person who opened the window looked into the house from this hole, and after a while, I saw a thin incense stick, which was stuffed into the hole.

The curling green smoke rose from this incense, and a faint fragrance made Xu Xuan, who smelled this smell, dizzy.

"Nima, it's smoke!" Xu Xuan, who was groggy and groggy, shook his body before his brain became clear.

Xu Xuan thought of the conversation when he met the yamen in the afternoon, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, could it be that he met the legendary flower thief? If you are a man, the other party will definitely not be interested, so it is very likely that it is aimed at Xu Jiaorong!

Thinking of this, Xu Xuan came to the outhouse lightly, gently pushed Xu Jiaorong's shoulder, Xu Jiaorong, who had been busy all day, opened his eyes and looked at Xu Xuan with doubts, "Second brother, what's wrong?" ”

Xu Xuan hurriedly stretched out his hand and made a silent movement: "There are people outside!" ”

At this time, Xu Jiaorong also smelled the smell of the house, and frowned, only to see that in the corridor outside the house, a dark shadow was leaning against the window, Xu Jiaorong was shocked, and was about to get up and open the door.

Xu Xuan looked at Xu Jiaorong's movements, and pulled Xu Jiaorong with a wry smile, sister, this is really resolute, if you open the door, you will be a little kid in the house, plus a weak girl, wouldn't this flower thief follow in, this is to lure the wolf into the room,

Xu Xuan motioned for Xu Jiaorong to be calm, and then handed over a towel soaked in water, motioning for Xu Jiaorong to cover her mouth and nose. At this time, he coughed a few times and said loudly, "Sister, wake up, I forgot to say it, Brother Li said, today he is going to keep vigil with the brothers of the Yamen here, I forgot to send them something to eat, do we still have food in the kitchen?" I'll send them over in a moment."

Xu Jiaorong was slightly stunned when she heard Xu Xuan say this, reacted for a moment, and said cooperatively, "Well, there is still food, don't worry about them, they will be hungry for a while, so they will naturally go to the kitchen to find it." ”

seemed to confirm Xu Jiaorong's words, but I only heard Li Gongfu's hoarse voice in the courtyard sound, "Jiaorong, is there anything to eat at home?" ”

With Li Gongfu's voice, the black shadow that was originally in the corridor was flickering at this time and disappeared into the night.
