Ma Zhiyuan naturally knew that Lin Mo was comforting himself, and he was a little angry with Lin Mo, but he was not responsible for Ma Ruoya's disappearance, Ma Zhiyuan just nodded in response.

Zhang Xian came at this time, Ma Zhiyuan asked about what happened, and then asked, "Are there any bandits nearby?" ”

Du Shaofu thought for a moment and said: "This year has been very peaceful, there are no mountain kidnappers and the like, the biggest bandit in Yunzhou, Hu Bi, was exterminated by Lin Mo last year." ”

As soon as a few people heard this, they glanced at Lin Mo, and Du Shaofu continued: "But last year, Yunzhou and nearby counties reported that many girls were missing, which should be done by kidnappers. Lin Mo listened to it, and faintly felt that the disappearance of Ma Ruoyan had some connection with the case of the girl's disappearance.

Speaking of the case of the girl's disappearance, Lin Mo immediately thought of this Feng Gui's matter, Feng Gui must have offended some people or knew something that should not be known when he was persecuted like this, this thought of Feng Gui's search for his daughter, then there is a possibility that this Feng Gui found a clue about his daughter's disappearance, although this possibility is not big, but it is also very reasonable.

At this time, Lin Mo's eyes lit up and said, "Master Du, do you know the specific time and place where these cases were born?" ”

When Du Shaofu heard this, he immediately understood: "Do you suspect that this case is related to those missing cases?" However, there is a gap of half a year between the two, and the correlation between the two is likely to be very low. Du Shaofu's words extinguished the hope that the rest of the people had just ignited.

Lin Mo looked at the people who kept coming to complain, and said that they couldn't find it, Lin Mo suddenly realized something and said: "We seem to have fallen into a misunderstanding, if Aya Ruo was really kidnapped, he may not be able to take 6 roads, and four or five miles away is the Qingliu River, wouldn't it be more convenient to take the waterway and it will be more difficult to be traced." When Du Shaofu heard this, he immediately said: "If this is the case, I will arrange for people to search at various ferry ports now." ”

He Ren also said: "My He family is familiar with all ferries, and I will use the He family's connections to help search and find the person who can do it." Saying that, Du Shaofu asked people to take some people to the ferry to search.

Ma Zhiyuan thought for a moment and shook his head and said: "Even if this is the case, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, regardless of how many ferries around this Qingliu River there are for the time being, this Qingliu River leads directly to the Yangtze River, no one knows which ferry it will stop at, how to search for this ferry, and it is very likely that they will stop at those wild ferries and will not go to Guandu, which is even more difficult to search." Although Ma Zhiyuan was very anxious, he was not carried away by anxiety, and analyzed the matter very calmly.

At this time, Lin Mo gritted his teeth and said: "Now there is only one bet, I will bet that this case is related to the previous disappearance case, as long as I can find clues from the previous case, I will have a better chance of finding Ma Ruoyan." Then he said, "My lord, please tell me in detail about the location of the missing girl." ”

Du Shaofu pondered for a moment and then said the location of each case in his memory, but fortunately, Du Shaofu had a strong memory and still remembered these after so long

The location of the case is spoken. forest

Mo marked the location of each case on the simple map he had drawn, and then connected it with a line, He Ren and Ma Zhiyuan didn't know what Lin Mo was doing, but Lin Mo definitely made sense to do so.

Then Lin Mo looked at the somewhat messy and scribbled map, pointed to one of the points and said, "Just around this point, start searching out." Everyone saw that the point was exactly in the middle of Yunzhou and Qiannan.

Lin Mo's method was when he watched TV series in his previous life, when those police detectives investigated the missing cases or serial murders, they used this method to roughly find out the location of the criminals, Lin Mo himself didn't know if it could have an effect, but now he can only be a live horse doctor, otherwise blind viewing is looking for a needle in a haystack. Du Shaofu and Ma Zhiyuan looked at Lin Mo, and finally chose to believe Lin Mo and transferred most of the manpower to the location designated by Lin Mo.

Lin Mo continued: "The most important thing now is to make those people dare not touch Ruoya, those people who kidnapped Ruoya are likely not to know who she is, we just want them to know that Ruoya is not ordinary, so that they don't dare to mess around." Ma Zhiyuan asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Lin Mo pondered: "Write a missing person notice, saying that Miss Mafu is missing, if anyone can find it, the prize will be ten thousand taels of silver." "Missing person notice silver ten thousand taels"

He Ren and Du Shaofu on the side couldn't help but exclaim. Lin Mo nodded and said: "The most important thing now is to walk out the news of Ruo Aya, no matter whether that person kidnapped Ruo Aya for money or not, this ten thousand taels, in this world, who is not tempted, I just want to use ten thousand taels to impress the person who robbed Ruo Aya, even if he is hard-hearted, he will be moved by this ten thousand taels of silver." ”

Du Shaofu listened and thought for a moment and said: "Is this method a little abrupt, whether it is successful or not, it doesn't matter for the time being, such publicity is not good for the reputation of the Ma family and Ruo Aya." Zhang Xian on the side also hurriedly agreed, saying that this method was too public, and it was not suitable.

Du Shaofu said not directly but the meaning is very clear, that is, this spread out of the Mafu will inevitably be affected, this era of heavy agriculture and suppression of business is the fundamental national policy, although there is not as heavy taxation as in the later period, orders, suppression of businessmen, but the businessmen are still despised in every way, this time suddenly took out 10,000 taels of silver, that is, asking for hardship, this official is in charge of a group of pretentious scholars, and the rich are deeply hated, because the rich are the people who oppress the common people to obtain wealth, Although businessmen obey the law and obtain legal benefits, people just can't change the dislike of businessmen by most people.

If you take out 10,000 taels at a time this time, this ** show off your wealth will definitely be used by those pretentious and red-eyed people to talk about things, and it is also very possible to wear small shoes for Ma Zhiyuan.

Of course, Du Shaofu still has a kind of worry, although he also investigated the disappearance case before, but he didn't find out why, this time he used so much manpower to help Ma Zhiyuan investigate this case, which is indeed a bit selfish, and it has a bad impact on his reputation, although Du Shaofu is honest and fair, but he still regrets this reputation, which is also the common thing for officials.

Luo Mingze

is worried that once Ma Ruoyan is tied up, it will be known to everyone, even if she returns safely in the end, Ma Ruoya's reputation will be ruined, after all, few people believe that the girl who was kidnapped by the kidnappers can return completely, and those rumors will also ruin Ma Ruoya's reputation.

Although this life is not as strict as the "Three Outlines and Five Constants" after the Song Dynasty to educate women and discipline women, although this atmosphere is still open, it has not yet opened to the point where you can joke about the name and festival casually.

Regarding the fact that Ma Ruoya was tied up, Luo Ming still means that if he can come secretly, he will come secretly, if it is hyped up, this Ma Ruoyan will marry someone in the future, what will the husband's family think, they are not so easy to prevaricate, and it will definitely cause a lot of trouble at that time.

Lin Mo's proposal was naturally to help Ma Ruoyan protect herself as much as possible, and he didn't think so much about other things. Everyone couldn't help but focus their eyes on Ma Zhiyuan, after all, it was his daughter who had the accident, and he had to make the decision in the end.

Ma Zhiyuan looked at everyone, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Do what Lin Mo said, write notices, and post them everywhere." At this time, He Ren said: "In fact, we can use a compromise method, which will not ruin the reputation of this Ruo Aya, and let this kidnapper know that Ruo Aya is not easy to provoke." When they heard this, they hurriedly asked what to do.

He Ren said: "The person who kidnapped Ruoya must not know Ruoya's share, it should be a temporary intention, if it has been planned for a long time, then what they want is definitely not Ruoya this person, but to obtain some benefits through Ruoya, but this has passed since the kidnapping has been done now, but there is no letter, no asking for things, since they don't know, how can other people know that it is Ma Ruoya who was kidnapped?" We can say on the notice that a certain relative is missing, and the person who can bring people back or provide this clue can get a lot of money, and write 10,000 taels, and there are only a handful of people in the entire Da Xuan Dynasty who can give 10,000 taels in one go, which shows that Ruoya is behind you kidnappers who can't be provoked. In this way, only we and the person who kidnapped Ruoya can understand, as for the others, they only know that a rich kid has disappeared and spent money to find it, and it doesn't matter who it is. Then write out Ruo Aya's dress, let the people who see it come to report, and receive the silver, let's not write who lost, and the people naturally don't know who it is, as long as they look for something similar to this dress, this will not ruin the reputation and move the people to help find it. When everyone heard this, they immediately nodded in agreement, and Du Shaofu instructed these searchers to keep their mouths shut and not leak the news.

Then everyone split up, Lin Mo, He Ren and Cui'er went to the dock, Du Shaofu returned to Yunzhou, Ma Zhiyuan, Luo Ming and Hu Lu who came in time took people to the place that Lin Mo said to continue the search.

At this time, the sky was already bright, but the search this night was still nothing, Lin Mo was naturally very disappointed in his heart, and could only secretly pray that Ma Ruoya would be safe.

When the three of them came to this dock, they were already searching and questioning, and when they saw Lin Mo and He Ren coming, one of the officials hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Two sons, I have searched here and found no trace." ”

Lin Mo looked at this person's clothes and knew that the Cao Yun Division was in charge of this wharf, so he asked, "Do you have any registration for every ship that docks at the wharf?" The official said: "There are some big ships in this official ship, but there are too many small boats, and they stop for a while and leave, so we can't register them all." ”
