For more than ten days, Cui Wenqing did not set foot in the house for half a step, and he didn't need to ask, and he was also haunted by the quarrel that night.

Zhi Zhao has a strong temperament and is arrogant, he will definitely not apologize to Cui Wenqing, and the quarrel is not her fault, so the matter is so deadlocked, and neither of the two is willing to take the lead in giving in.

However, at the moment of major events, the reception of the victims is imminent, and Cui Wenqing and the Hedong Bank he led need to cooperate and contribute, and they must not delay the major affairs of the court because of their personal will.

Thinking of this, Zhi Zhao still decided to return to Fugu to talk to Cui Wenqing, no matter what, his Hedong Bank was funded by Zhenwujun, and the two of them don't talk about personal affairs, let's talk about the head office! This is not an apology to him in disguise!

Finally convincing himself, Zhi Zhao got up and called, "Someone." ”

After a while, Mu Wan opened the curtain and walked in, arching her hand and asking, "I don't know what the Metropolitan Governor commands?" ”

Zhi Zhao hesitated slightly, and said categorically: "Xiaowan, prepare a horse to accompany Ben Shuai back to Fugu, and inform Cui Wenqing that he will come to Fuzhou Assassin Mansion tomorrow to discuss official affairs." ”

As soon as she heard this, Mu Wan was stunned for a moment, and said with some surprise: "The metropolitan governor is going to see Cui Wenqing?" At this time? ”

Hearing this, Zhe Zhao's ears were slightly hot, and he seemed to be afraid that Mu Wan would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "It's not a private matter, but a business matter that needs to be discussed urgently." ”

Mu Wan suddenly bowed her head and hesitated for a moment, but she stopped talking a little.

"By the way," Zhi Zhao remembered something and asked, "Ben Shuai asked you to send someone to monitor Cui Wenqing's daily whereabouts, can you know where Cui Wenqing is today?" ”

"Metropolitan Governor," Mu Wan was already struggling with whether she should tell the truth, but when she heard Zhi Zhao ask, she had to speak honestly, "Today, my aunt took a group of Victoria's Secret ladies to rent a mansion in the city, and then went to the wine shop with Su Shi to eat, and when the spies returned, they were still drinking. ”

Unexpectedly, Cui Wenqing was with those glamorous and moving Victoria's Secret ladies, and the brilliance on her delicate face unconsciously became a little gloomy, and she said coldly, "This muddy ball!" He grabbed the horsewhip on the desk and walked out of the tent.

The fast horse returned to Fugu County, and Zhi Zhao went straight back to the Governor's Mansion of the Zhenwu Army.

As soon as he walked into the main hall and sat down, he saw the steward of the house striding over, and said, "Second Miss, the old slave has something to tell you." ”

This steward of the Zhefu Mansion surnamed Wang is an old man who has served the Zhe family for three generations, and he is a senior who has watched Zhe Zhao grow up, and he has a very great influence in the mansion, and Zhe Zhao also respects him very much.

When Zhezhao led the army to fight, or lived in the military camp, it was the royal steward who was responsible for all matters of the Zhenwu Army's capital governor's mansion.

Hearing this, Zhi Zhao bowed his head slightly and asked, "I don't know what Uncle Wang has to tell you?" ”

Steward Wang said in a deep voice: "Second Miss, the maid who served my uncle, Lotus Ye, has not returned home for two days and one night. ”

Zhi Zhao knew that the king's steward was very strict with the servants and maids in the house, and they were not allowed to stay overnight, and the lotus leaf did not return to the house for two days and one night, which was naturally a violation of the rules.

However, Zhi Zhao guessed the whereabouts of the lotus leaf, and said with a slightly wry smile: "That girl shouldn't have accompanied Cui Wenqing to live in a clothing store, right?" Have you ever asked a clothing store? ”

Steward Wang said with a straight face: "The old slave asked Su Gongzi's scholar Su San, yesterday and today, Lotus Leaf was not in the clothing store, and naturally he was not with his uncle. ”

Hearing this, Zhi Zhao's expression gradually became solemn, and he asked, "Then does Cui Wenqing know about this?" ”

"I don't know yet." The king replied truthfully.

Zhi Zhao pondered for a while, knowing the importance of lotus leaves to Cui Wenqing, and looked at the sky outside where the sun was about to set, Huo Ran ordered: "You immediately inform Cui Wenqing of this matter." ”

"The old slave obeys!" The king's steward took the command, turned and walked away quickly.

※※※

"What did you say, the lotus leaf is missing?" As soon as he returned to the clothing store, Cui Wenqing heard the news brought by Steward Wang, and his face changed color instantly.

Steward Wang said: "Uncle Qi, after the lotus leaf went out yesterday morning, she did not return to the Dadu Governor's Mansion, at first the old slave thought that she was in the clothing store with her uncle, so she didn't pay much attention, but today it happened that Su Gongzi's scholar came to Meiyuan to look for the lotus leaf, and the old slave knew that the lotus leaf was not with your uncle. ”

Cui Wenqing was stunned for a while, his face became more and more ugly, and a rare feeling of panic spread out from the bottom of his heart, making his heartbeat can't stop speeding up.

Su Shi, who was standing next to him, groaned slightly and asked, "Could this little girl have gone to a relative's house?" ”

Cui Wenqing was shocked as if he had been electrocuted, and he opened his voice and shouted suddenly into the store: "Uncle He, come out quickly." ”

At this time, Uncle He was packing up his things in the store, and when he heard Cui Wenqing's shout that had changed his tone, he was strange in his heart, so he hurriedly walked out quickly, opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know what my uncle told me to call the little old man?" ”

Cui Wenqing's face was anxious, and he said bluntly: "Someone from the house said that Lotus Ye has not returned to the house for two days and one night, do you know where she is?" ”

He Laohan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Didn't go home? It's impossible, apart from her home and the Governor's Mansion of the Zhenwu Army, where else can she go? ”

"Do you have any other relatives in Fugu County? Go ahead and ask now. Cui Wenqing had a little sweat on his forehead.

He Laohan realized the seriousness of the problem at this time, and was so anxious that he almost cried: "No, Xiao Lao'er doesn't have any relatives and friends in the city, and it is impossible for Lotus Leaf to live in other people's homes, and she won't return all night, uncle, she must have had an accident." ”

Hearing this, Cui Wenqing only felt that the cold that penetrated his bones spread out from his spine, and in an instant, he swept his whole body.

He knew that Lotus Ye was a very delicate and honest maid, and without informing the housekeeper and him Cui Wenqing, he would definitely not stay up all night without knowing where to go.

And He Laohan has no other relatives in Fugu County, which means that it is impossible for Lotus Leaf to live in other people's mansions.

Thinking of this, Cui Wenqing's brows were tightly locked, his face was sinking like water, and his heart was full of anxiety, and at this moment, there was only one person who could help him find the lotus leaf, although Cui Wenqing was still a little worried and couldn't let go of his face, but in the face of the safety of the lotus leaf, these things were obviously insignificant.

Taking a deep breath, Cui Wenqing forced himself to calm down, and asked Steward Wang, "Steward, can the Metropolitan Governor be in the mansion?" ”

Steward Wang said, "The second lady has just returned to the mansion not long ago. ”

"Alright, I'll go back to her now." Cui Wenqing nodded again and again, and said to Uncle He, "Don't worry, Uncle, I will find the lotus leaf no matter what." ”

He Laohan nodded apprehensively, and watched Cui Wenqing walk quickly.
