"Well, that's a long story."

Qi Baoguo pulled Zhang Maoxiu to sit down and explained the cause and effect to Zhang Maoxiu.

Zhang Maoxiu was surprised: "What, you said that my father and Uncle Qi talked about a marriage?" ”

He just boasted about Ning Xiu in the letter, why did his father start thinking of being a matchmaker?

It's really laughable.

"Ling'er's temperament Saburo also knows. She couldn't pull back the eight cows that she had identified. In the same way, if she doesn't agree with something, no one can force it. No, she disguised herself as a man in a fit of anger and came to Jingzhou to inspect the goods in person. ”

Rao is Zhang Maoxiu is gentle and elegant, and he still laughed out loud when he heard this.

"Sister Ling'er is really interesting. Then what happened to her later, and she could see Ning Xiu? Are you satisfied? ”

said a marriage in a daze, and Zhang Maoxiu was naturally very proud.

With Ning Xiu's appearance and character, Sister Ling'er should be in sight, right?

"Don't mention it, Ling'er really likes my future brother-in-law, but it's a pity that this Ning Xiu suddenly disappeared."

"Missing? No way. ”

Zhang Maoxiu was stunned.

He has been reading books at home all these days, and he really hasn't seen Ning Xiu for a while. But Ning Xiu shouldn't have disappeared!

"Listening to Ling'er, he and Ning Xiu agreed to meet in Peach Blossom Pond in Phoenix Mountain. As a result, Ling'er didn't wait for Ning Xiu, but on the way down the mountain, she found a crashed carriage near Yuewang Temple, which was Ning Xiu's! ”

Hiss!

Zhang Maoxiu couldn't help but gasp.

That's a bit mysterious, isn't it?

How could a big living person suddenly disappear when he was so good? And the carriage was inexplicably crashed, it doesn't seem to be an accident.

"Then what are you waiting for, don't report to the official? In case Ning Xiu was really kidnapped by the gangsters, there would be more hope for the official as soon as possible! ”

Qi Baoguo pressed his hand down and said, "Mao Xiu, don't be impatient." This is an extraordinary matter, and I don't think it's as simple as an ordinary gangster robbing money. If it alarms the government, it will startle the snake. ”

"What should I do?"

"In my opinion, it's better to search privately first, and then report to the official if it really doesn't work, and you may have to seconded the officers and soldiers of the Jingzhou Mansion Guard."

"How else can you do that?"

Zhang Mao Xiu was dumbfounded.

"Of course others can't, but Mao Xiu forgot that I am a hundred households in Jinyiwei? Presumably, thousands of local households should sell me this face. Of course, I don't want things to go like that, and it would be best if I could find Ning Xiu directly. ”

"Mao Xiu, do you know any businessman friends?"

"Well, I have a good friend who is the son of the governor of Huguang, and he is good at business and knows a lot of business friends. Bao Guo suddenly asked what this was about? ”

Qi Baoguo was overjoyed: "That's easy to do." These traders are the most well-informed, and they know what is suspicious and what is behaving abnormally lately. After asking them, you will probably be able to find some clues. If we follow the vine again, we may be able to find Ning Xiu's whereabouts soon. ”

"Okay, then let's go find him!"

Zhang Maoxiu didn't dare to delay, got up and walked towards the sedan hall.

......

......

The words were divided into two ends, but he said that Qi Ling'er went directly to Ning Ji Restaurant to find the dead fat man.

Sun Wufan drank a lot of wine and fell asleep.

Qi Ling'er couldn't wait, she lifted the dead fat man's shoulders with both hands and shook violently.

In his sleep, Sun Wufan only felt that the world was spinning, and he woke up suddenly, and when he saw that it was Qi Ling'er, he almost fainted again.

"You, why are you?"

Qi Ling'er said angrily: "What's you, me, Ning Xiu is missing, do you know?" ”

"Ning Xiu is missing?"

Sun Wufan was also confused, and then his eyes rolled and he said, "Miss Qi is not confused, she is Ning Xiu below." ”

Qi Ling'er glared at him and said coldly: "You don't want to act anymore, I heard it clear outside the store that day, the person with the pseudonym Chen Yi is Ning Xiu, and Ning Xiu called you Brother Sun, you must be his friend, right?" ”

"Uh......"

Sun Wufan was in a cold sweat, and said in his heart, what is this!

The rise of their acting, as a result, people already know the truth?

"Uh, what, let me ask you if Ning Xiu is missing?"

"Ahh

Sun Wufan realized that the matter had not been resolved, so he coughed and said, "Before leaving, Brother Ning Xian did ask me to come, but I took it as a joke." He, he's really missing? ”

"Hmph, who is in the mood to lie to you. I made an appointment to meet him at Peach Blossom Lake at dusk, but I couldn't wait. On the way down the hill I found his carriage, wrecked under an old pine tree, covered in blood. ”

Now Sun Wufan was really a little scared: "Then, what should I do now?" ”

"It's really useless, Ning Xiu has a friend like you who is unlucky to die."

Qi Ling'er sighed and said, "My brother has already gone to the Zhang family for help, look at what you can do here to help?" The flame is high when everyone gathers firewood, and now is not the time to stay strong. ”

The two were talking to themselves, Qi Baoguo and Zhang Maoxiu had been found.

"Brother Sun Xian is here?"

Before Zhang Maoxiu arrived, Qi Ling'er and Sun Wufan went out.

"Mao Xiu, I'm with this Miss Qi."

"It turns out that your name is Sun Wufan."

"Hehe, don't worry about these details."

"You!"

Seeing that the two were still arguing, Qi Baoguo coughed and said, "Now is not the time to make trouble, Ling'er, don't make trouble." ”

Qi Ling'er didn't listen to anyone, but just listened to the words of this fourth brother.

As soon as Qi Baoguo gave her instructions, he stuck out his tongue and let Sun Wufan go for the time being.

Sun Wufan nodded gratefully at Qi Baoguo, and took the initiative to take a step to the left to keep a distance from Qi Ling'er.

This dominatrix is so ferocious!

"Sun Gongzi, I heard Mao Xiu say that you are very familiar with Jingzhou merchants, why don't you find out Ning Xiu's whereabouts through them."

Sun Wufan patted his chest and said, "This matter is wrapped up in me." ”

Qi Baoguo nodded, and then turned to Zhang Maoxiu: "Maoxiu, maybe I still have to take care of you to secondment some people, I am afraid that the people I brought alone will not be enough." ”

Zhang Maoxiu nodded and said: "Well, how many people will be used to serve the country directly, I will fully cooperate." ”

"Fourth brother, they all have something to do, what about me?"

Qi Ling'er was a little unhappy, she hated being ignored the most, even if the person who ignored her was her dearest fourth brother.

"My good sister, you should follow as a brother. Fight tigers and brothers. ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was slightly relaxed, Qi Baoguo said in a deep voice: "As for the reporting officer, there is no hurry at the moment. If the matter really reaches a point where there is no room for turnaround, then use the power of the Jingzhou Guard and the government. ”

After all, he came to Jingzhou this time for personal matters, and the public transfer of officials and troops had too much impact. He wasn't going to do that unless he had to.

The Qi family and the Zhang family are already close, if they are mixed together because of this matter and are used by people with intentions to participate in a book, I am afraid that it will cause rain and wind.
