Chapter 130: Assisting in the Investigation

When he was still a prince, he once toured south with the emperor, and at that time, he was led by the magistrate to parade on the street, ten miles long street, full of traffic and people, how did it become such a depression now.

It seems that I still have to go to the county office and wait for the magistrate to take the queen and ask what is going on after they are done, but the streets are empty, what can the magistrate take the queen to see?

Li Lanshi was ordered to drive to the county office, and saw a team of people coming out of the gate of the county government from a distance, and the leader was carrying a knife, as if he was going to take a team of people to search for something.

So Feng Feihan sent Li Lanshi forward to inquire, Li Lanshi showed the token to the leader, and the person with the knife saluted and told him the reason for the matter.

The name of this knife is Chu Han, it is Pingliang catcher, there are many women who have disappeared in Pingliang for no reason, he is inquiring about the matter on the order of the county order, and he has just gotten the news that there are traces of missing women near Shantan Temple, so he took people to search.

Hearing that it was the woman who was missing, Tang Ningnan's heart hung in the air, women and children were abducted and trafficked the worst, they had just rescued the abducted and trafficked children in Mishui, should they be here to investigate the missing women?

"No wonder the old man saw the three of us and was in a hurry to let Vice General Li take us away, it turned out that a woman was missing, master, do you want to take care of this matter?" Feng Yunshang said.

She is not afraid, she still has the heart to find out when she encounters things, but the concubine next to her is different, she was worried when she heard the old man's words from the beginning, and now she is even more afraid when she hears Chu Han explain the situation.

"Master, it's too dangerous to only take Vice General Li to investigate this matter, why don't we go back and find General Sima and them to investigate!"

Feng Feihan had his own plans in his heart, pointed to the outside of the carriage and said, "Aren't there still Chu Catchers and them?"

He felt that he might not be able to find out the hidden secrets with the identity of the imperial court, so he instructed Li Lanshi to tell Chu Han that they were the assassins of the southern tour of the capital, and they came to the county government to assist him in investigating this matter.

Chu Han, who was at the gate of the county government, was looking at the carriage, guessing what kind of official it was, and he could also bring the fifth-class guards in the palace, so Li Lanshi came to reply to him:

"Chu Zhutou, my lord is Sheng Jing's assassin history, and when he arrived here, the emperor heard about the disappearance of women, and specially sent my lord to assist in the investigation."

Only then did Chu Han understand that it was sent by the emperor, so he said why there was still a guard by his side, and bowed to Li Lanshi: "Guard Li, I won't say anything superfluous, I haven't had a clue these days, and now I finally have a trace, I need to go and search quickly, I and these arresters are at the disposal of Lord Assassin Shi." ”

"I can understand Chu Zhutou's eagerness, but my family said that he couldn't find out anything hidden as a court official, so he asked Chu Zhutou to change into civilian clothes and go with us."

Chu Han thought that this plan could be done, and asked what to do if these catches quickly, Li Lanshi said that Chu Han would send them back first.

When Chu Han changed into civilian clothes, Li Lanshi took him into the carriage and introduced him one by one:

"This Lord Thorn Shi, Lord Han."

"Hello Lord Han."

Li Lanshi told him again that he couldn't call him an adult outside, but he had to call him master, so as not to expose his identity, Chu Han changed his words and called him hello, Feng Feihan nodded.

So Li Lanshi then introduced Tang Ningnan and Feng Yunshang to him, using the identities of his wife and two sisters respectively.

I thought that Lord Thorn Shi would be a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, but the man in front of him, about twenty-six or seventeen, was young, but his starry eyes were powerful, which made people sincerely respect.

The carriage was spacious, and the old man and his wife sat in the upper seat, while the old man's brothers, wives, and nieces sat in the lower seat, facing him.

Chu Han looked at the four people in the carriage and felt that it was very strange, he could understand the case in plain clothes, but why did Lord Assassin Shi still have to take his wife and two sisters with him to handle the case, how weak the woman was, wouldn't it add to the chaos?

But the token that Li Lanshi showed herself was real, and he didn't dare to speculate, so he lowered his head the whole time and didn't speak.

Tang Ningnan took the initiative to talk to him and asked about the specific circumstances of this case.

When did the first missing woman go missing? How many have been missing in total so far? What characteristics do these women have in common? Is each of the missing women related in time, in relationship?

After a series of questions, Chu Han began to understand why Lord Thorn Shi brought his wife over, and these questions were asked one by one, which allowed people to quickly and comprehensively grasp the entire case.

Tang Ningnan and the others also understood the specific circumstances of the case, since the first woman disappeared on August 3, 17 women have disappeared one after another, of which only five were missing before August 20, and 12 disappeared in a row within 10 days from August 20 to the night before yesterday.

Therefore, the people in the county town were very scared, and the women did not dare to go out, and stayed at home behind closed doors, for fear that they would be taken captive one day.

"Ridiculous!" Feng Feihan's voice was full of anger, and the concubine next to her trembled, after so long, she was still a little scared of Feng Feihan in her heart, "Seventeen women are missing, and now we are starting to investigate?" ”

"The old man was angry, at first he wanted to investigate, but there were no clues, and the case stopped for a long time, until today the villagers on the side of Shantan Temple found a handkerchief that fell from the missing woman, so we immediately went out to search?"

Chu Han explained like this, Tang Ningnan felt that it was inappropriate, why did there be such a long pause in the middle of the case without investigation, wouldn't this delay the case?

Feng Feihan asked again: "Since you can't find out, why don't you let the government of Penglai Continent send people?" Shouldn't such a big case be reported to the higher state government? ”

"The county order said that the emperor's southern tour would come here in the next few days, and he was afraid that this matter would disturb the emperor, so he kept pressing the report and did not let it ......"

Chu Han's voice was very small, he didn't want the emperor to know, but the emperor actually sent someone to inquire, which shows that the emperor already knows about this matter, and he can't hide it anymore.

"Joke, the streets are empty, are you a fool when you are the emperor and can't you notice that something is wrong?" Yunshang said on the side.

Chu Han looked at the sister of the old man of Thorn Shi again, she was lovely and had a clever face.

The old lady's voice was softer, and she asked him if there was any way for the county order to make the emperor not find out the clues.

Chu Han replied: "The county order said that when the emperor got off the boat, he would arrange for the emperor to sit in a carriage without windows, and pull it all the way to the restaurant to entertain him. ”

After speaking, he looked at Feng Feihan again, his face was very bad, Chu Han was ready to be scolded. But Feng Feihan didn't speak, just closed his lips and meditated on something.

Fortunately, he came out for a private patrol, so he could encounter this kind of thing, Tang Ningnan thought in his heart. It's no wonder that the county order heard the queen say that the emperor went to a private visit, and he looked panicked, if he was really taken by the county order to put up the wine, and when he found out, Feng Feihan didn't know how angry he was.

This county order is also stupid, such a way to hide people's ears and eyes also wants to charm Feng Feihan's eyes? Did he really take the emperor for a fool, or did he think that the lord of Daliang had no brains at all?

Tang Ningnan also looked at Feng Feihan, the look on his face could not be said to be an angry expression, it was very complicated, in short, it was not an expression that would only be revealed when something good happened.

Li Lanshi drove the carriage all the way to the east according to the road Chu Han said, lifted the curtains, and could already see the sea from a distance, the carriage drove from the flat official road into a place full of rocks, which was very bumpy, Tang Ningnan had to hold the carriage hard so that his body would not shake with the carriage.

Chu Han said that not long after walking forward, he was about to arrive at Shantan Temple, and according to the villagers, the jewelry that the woman dropped was found in this place.

Tang Ningnan felt very puzzled, would there be a temple in this kind of place? The temples she remembers are all gradually in the mountains.

At this moment, the carriage stopped abruptly, and Tang Ningnan almost rushed out, but it was Feng Feihan who held him up so that he didn't fall off the seat.

"Lan Shi, what's going on?" Feng Feihan asked through the door curtain.

"Sir, the wheelchair of the carriage is stuck in a crack in the rock, and it may not be able to get out for a while."

The people in the carriage all got out of the carriage, and several of them worked together to see if they could pull the carriage out, Tang Ningnan and the other women walked around the carriage, and it was not until they got off the carriage that they really saw the terrain here.

Li Lanshi and the others tried for a long time but failed, and just now Chu Han said that it was not far away, so they decided to walk over.

This rock is like a big whole, rising from the sea to form a cliff, under the cliff should be the beach by the sea, sure enough, as she thought, walk over and see that under the cliff twenty or thirty meters high is the beige white sand.

When there is a shallow stream passing over the rocks, it flows down from this cliff, washing away the sand below, and forming a small stream below, which eventually joins the sea.

The stream was small and clear, but it was very clear, and Tang Ningnan reached out and scooped up a petal from the water.

It is an acacia flower, with a faint red, like a small pink brush, and the people of Daliang like acacia flowers very much, because in the eyes of the people of Liang country, acacia flowers are auspicious flowers that can be "acacia resentment", which means to eliminate grievances and harmony.

Chu Han said that it was because of the rain a few days ago that there was this small stream, which is usually absent.

Tang Ningnan stood up and looked at the acacia flowers in his hand, there were many acacia trees growing in the woods he had just passed, and they probably fell into the stream because of the wind and rain.

Not far to the right is the mouth of the Haihe River, where a little muddy yellow water pours into the blue sea, leaving a large fan-shaped trace.

Yes! Ocean! Yes! Sand beach!

Tang Ningnan sighed in his heart, if it weren't for this kind of thing today, they should be able to have a good time here!
