Chapter 351: Clues

Xiao Jing has always been a kind person. He gets along with most people, and he looks harmless to humans and animals all day long, and is easy to get close to.

However, this does not mean that Xiao Jing does not have a temper and majesty.

He was the president of the newspaper. This is not an official position, but as a person who can make a decision in one word, he has invisibly accumulated the momentum of a superior.

He is the son-in-law of the Xia family. If Xiao Jing was a cloth cloth before, then now that he has stepped into the circle of wealthy families with one foot, his temperament is naturally different. The retinue around him alone is enough to explain his status.

He is also a man who has been on the battlefield and has blood on his hands. Even if he is far from having any overflowing murderous aura or overlord aura, it is enough to scare ordinary people like Lao Sun.

Seeing that Xiao Jing dropped the cruel words, a group of entourages also smiled maliciously, and took a step forward with understanding, looking at Lao Sun with fierce eyes, seeing that his scalp was numb.

The frightened old grandson couldn't help but panic and said, "Owner, you...... Hey, this has no beginning and no end, how can the villain talk about it! ”

Seeing this, Xiao Jing approached him a little closer, and his eyes became even colder: "In this way, you don't want to say it." ”

As he spoke, the momentum on his body became more and more terrifying. Lao Sun, who wanted to continue to pretend to be confused, was directly frightened and knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly: "It's not that the villain intends to deceive, but this matter has a lot to do with it." If you say it, you're afraid of ......"

"Afraid of what? Is there anyone here who is going to be bad for you and your family? Xiao Jing interrupted Lao Sun's words and said in a deep voice: "As long as you are willing to tell the truth, I will place your family near the capital, and promise to let you live a more decent life than now, how about it?" ”

The Xia family has huge power and strong financial resources, and it is very simple to settle someone. As long as he gives the order, someone will soon get things done.

The old grandson, whose body trembled like chaff, was stunned for a moment.

He is a native of Caozhou. The people of this era have a very strong sense of the countryside and will not easily leave their ancestral land. However, no one can stop ordinary people's yearning for a better life, not to mention that Xiao Jing's conditions are enough to make people tempting.

So, he asked in a trembling voice, "Is what the proprietor said true?" ”

Xiao Jing nodded and said, "Xiao has always made a promise, so why lie to you?" ”

After struggling for a long time, Lao Sun finally spoke.

Two months ago, a sensational incident occurred in Zhongping County, which is under the jurisdiction of Caozhou. In the incident, dozens of ordinary people were innocently killed, and then there were evil things that heaven and earth did not tolerate, such as forcing people to hang themselves and raping people's daughters.

And the Yuan family, who did this, is the local Haoqiang in Caozhou.

Afterwards, the reporter station received a complaint from the bitter master. But where did Lao Sun, a local with no money and no power, dare to offend the Yuan family? After thinking about it, the chicken thief decided to secretly leave a record related to the incident and send another document that did not include this incident to Puhua Town.

In this way, the newspaper will not know; In case someone asks, he has a record here, so it can be assumed that something was lost over there. Under normal circumstances, no newspaper staff would be idle enough to come to Caozhou to see his things.

As a result, after the news was sent away, Lao Sun found out that he had inadvertently sent the wrong one: it was the one that was sent out that was recorded!

He was anxious for a long time, and he couldn't eat and sleep; It wasn't until there was no news from the capital that his heart fell back into his stomach.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jing actually came in person!

In Xiao Jing's opinion, the matter is already very clear: Qin Ziqian, who is jealous and hateful, must have discovered something by chance, so he came to Caozhou by starting out.

In this way, Qin Ziqian's disappearance is likely to be related to the Yuan family.

Xiao Jing's eyes narrowed.

It is not excluded that there were people in the know among the people found during the previous search, but everyone suspected that the matter might involve the Yuan family, so they chose to keep their mouths shut!

Thinking of this, Xiao Jing led people straight to Zhongping County.

The stars covered the sky, and it was the middle of the night.

The weather in the mountains was very cold, but Xiao Jing, who was standing with his hands in his hands, stood in the courtyard in a daze, without the slightest intention of going into the house to rest.

Qin Ziqian has no news yet. Even if he was very sleepy, he couldn't sleep, and it was better to take a walk outside than lie down.

Xiao Jing did not enter Zhongping County, but stopped outside the county boundary and waited for the result. The people who had not shown up in Zhongping County were all pretending to be merchants, and news should come before dark tomorrow at the latest.

Qin Ziqian is a reporter, and appearing at the scene of the incident is the duty of a reporter and the meaning of his existence.

No good story is made up by sitting in an office and relying on hearsay.

In other words, as long as Qin Ziqian had campaigned for that tragedy, then she must have appeared in Zhongping County!

Maybe it was also at that time that she was discovered by someone with a heart?

The stars in the sky blinked, and scenes from the past kept flashing in Xiao Jing's mind:

He remembered the arrogant Qin Ziqian who liked to quarrel with him;

reminded me of the trip to Linzhou, the days when the two worked and lived under one roof;

I remembered the time when I was robbed by bandits on the road and met again under the butcher's knife;

remembered the moment when I was almost frozen to death, and the warmth I felt when I hugged each other tightly;

In a trance, he remembered the face he had seen when he was about to lose consciousness. Although most of the time the face is very blurred, but in a few moments, the thrilling beauty of the face becomes so clear that people just want to reach over and hold it in the palm of their hands......

A cold wind blew, and all illusions and memories dissipated.

Xiao Jing tightened his clothes. If Ziqian can be rescued this time, some things should be stopped.

What did Xue'er and Ziqian say on the day of the robbery? What is Xia Honghan's attitude towards this matter? After so many things, is Ziqian still willing to accept him?

Another hour passed, and a drizzle began to fall in the mountains. Under the persuasion of his entourage, Xiao Jing finally went back to the house to rest.

After getting up in the morning, Xiao Jing waited until the afternoon. The news that came back first was disappointing, but the people who came later brought back good news: Qin Ziqian had lodged in a remote and inaccessible place in Zhongping County!

Xiao Jing immediately rushed to the place non-stop.

There was only one old woman who lived alone in this ravine. According to her, Qin Ziqian had stayed at her home for one night and left the next day.

The mother-in-law grinned and said, "I thought it was a son, but I didn't expect it to be a female doll." The girl was very handsome, and she left me a sum of money before leaving. ”

Later, the mother-in-law said that it seemed that someone had entered her house while she was away, and had turned over a lot of things, but fortunately nothing had been lost in the house.

Xiao Jing, who had a solemn face, clenched his fists.

would come to this kind of place to hide, thinking that Qin Ziqian at that time already knew that he was being targeted, right?
