Chapter 91: Dilemma
Ji Xiaoxiao's [White Fox] was liked by many people present, and when she looked at the origami flowers all over the ground, a bright smile appeared on her face, and tomorrow's Oiran final was already done.
Qing'er also felt the same way, and her face unconsciously smiled. Although the scholar she plays today is only a background-like existence, she has also gained a lot of attention. She has already begun to fantasize about singing this song "White Fox" on stage one day, which must be even more eye-catching.
At this time, she had long forgotten the Cai'er who was lured out by herself.
When Song Jianming saw Ji Xiaoxiao step down, he grabbed Su Ziheng and said anxiously: "Go, Brother Ziheng, follow me to the backstage to ask about Cai'er's current situation." ”
Su Ziheng nodded, took care of Xie Qingxuan, and asked her to take more care of Zhang Wanqing and Xiaoya.
Fortunately, their group was sitting in the East Stand, and they could go directly to the backstage, otherwise they would have been stopped all the way. Rao is like this, they can only wait at the entrance of the backstage, whether they can see Ji Xiaoxiao depends on whether she is willing to come out to meet the two of them.
When Ji Xiaoxiao heard that Su Ziheng was coming to visit him, he didn't even take off his makeup, and trotted out directly. After seeing Su Ziheng, she smiled and asked, "Sir, how is the slave family singing today?" ”
Su Ziheng naturally did not hesitate to encourage, and said with a smile: "Very good, better than the previous rehearsals." ”
Ji Xiaoxiao smiled even more, and was about to say something more. Song Jianming, who was on the side, asked impatiently: "Little girl, dare to ask why Cai'er didn't come today?" ”
"Cai'er ......" Ji Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment, she knew that Song Jianming and Cai'er had a very close relationship, and then saw that Su Ziheng also looked concerned, so she decided not to hide it anymore, "Cai'er left the Warm Fragrance Pavilion this morning, and I haven't seen her come back." ”
"What?" Song Jianming's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Do you know where Cai'er went, little girl?" ”
Ji Xiaoxiao shook his head and said: "This slave family didn't know about it, and the slave family also came here to know that Cai'er's sister was gone." ”
"No, it's gone? How...... How so? "Song Jianming lost his mind.
Su Ziheng was calmer and asked in a deep voice: "Little girl, do you know when Cai'er left Nuanxiang Pavilion and why she left?" ”
Ji Xiaoxiao said: "I heard the servant who got up early say that it was just dawn, and I saw Cai'er go out. No one knows where it went. ”
Su Ziheng continued to ask, "Then what was the abnormal behavior of Cai'er last night?" ”
Ji Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Last night, Sister Cai'er and the slave family practiced [White Fox] in the training room, and when she went back to the room to sleep, Sister Cai'er was normal, and said that she would perform well today and not drag the slave family back." But I don't know why I hurriedly went out early in the morning? ”
Su Ziheng touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "In this way, something must have happened between Cai'er returning to the room last night and today." Does that little girl know who Cai'er has seen during this time? ”
Ji Xiaoxiao said apologetically: "This slave family is not very clear, if Mr. wants to know, you might as well warm up the Xiangge with the slave family to investigate later, how about it?" ”
Su Ziheng looked at Song Jianming, who was anxious beside him, and thought of the efforts he made to help him find Xiaoya some time ago, so he agreed without hesitation.
While waiting for Ji Xiaoxiao to change his clothes, Su Ziheng returned to the East Stand and retold what had just happened to Zhang Wanqing. said that he would leave first when he had something, so let the three of them watch the performance here first, and then return home by themselves after the performance was over, without waiting for themselves.
After hearing this, Xie Qingxuan asked coldly, "Do you need me to accompany you?" ”
Su Ziheng knew that she was worried about her safety, and he was quite moved. However, after considering the safety of Zhang Wanqing and the others, Su Ziheng shook his head and rejected her tempting idea. Besides, if you have a pistol to protect yourself, you shouldn't have to worry about safety issues, and you can hide in the base space at worst.
Su Ziheng smiled: "There is no need for the time being, if there is a demand, I will trouble you again." ”
Xie Qingxuan thought about it, didn't know where to take out a dice, and threw it to him, "If you need something, you can take this dice to Changle Fang to find them for assistance." ”
Su Ziheng took it and saw that it was a dice made of silver, slightly smaller than the dice in the gambling house, and there was no difference in the others. Su Ziheng nodded, took it into his arms, and told Xiaoya and Zhang Wanqing again, and then left the East Stand.
……
……
Su Ziheng and Song Jianming launched almost all their relationships, and in the end, they only found out that Cai'er went to Beichang Street, but no one saw her come out. According to the news that Su Ziheng inquired about from Changle Fang, someone saw a carriage passing by on North Long Street this morning.
Song Jianming went to the yamen to ask his brother Song Jiancai for help, Song Jiancai was a small team leader in the yamen, and there were several brothers below. The last time Xiaoya disappeared, it was thanks to his help that she was able to get back so smoothly.
After listening to Song Jianming's narration, Song Jiancai was embarrassed: "Brother Ming, if you are not a brother, you will not help you." I really can't get people, and now all the officials in the yamen are going to the Oiran to maintain order, and even the yamen is almost empty. ”
Song Jianming begged again and again: "Third brother, I have already gone to find the place to look." In the end, there was really no way, so I came to ask my brother. Recently, there have been a lot of displaced people in the city, and Cai'er, a fourteen-year-old girl, will be very dangerous if she disappears for too long. ”
Song Jiancai sighed, "Brother Ming, why are you suffering?" You have a good reputation and a bright future, even if you don't get along with your younger siblings, you don't need to do this for a Qinglou woman. You must know that if you continue like this, not only will you not be able to save Cai'er, but it will bring disaster to her. ”
Su Ziheng pondered for a moment, slowly shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be my sister-in-law's doing, otherwise there is no need to wait until today." ”
Song Jianming suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "Then why ......?" He was afraid that it was his family who did it, so he came to Song Jiancai when he had no choice but to do so.
Song Jiancai stood up and said in a deep voice: "If it is really as Su Gongzi said, Song will go and beg Wang Zhutou of the patrol room to see if he has any clues?" ”
Song Jianming said: "The junior brother has thanked the third brother for his great kindness!" ”
……
……
"No, don't come here."
Cai'er waved her hands, trying to stop the masked man from approaching. However, she was a weak woman, where was the strength of the masked man, and she was forced to the corner of the bed without moving.
"Whew!"
The crisp cracking sound of silk cracked in the quiet room. It was summer, the weather was already hot, and the dress Cai'er was wearing was quite thin, and when the masked man tore the placket of her clothes, it cracked from both sides.
"Ahh Go away! ”
Cai'er screamed, and hurriedly waved it at the masked man. The masked man did not dodge or dodge, and it seemed that the more Cai'er resisted, the more interested he became.
"Little beauty, why do you have to struggle, if you follow this son, this son will naturally let you go. If you don't know what to do, don't blame you for being destroyed by Childe's hot hands. ”
