The military attache uniforms hurriedly walked over, and when he saw the person in the hall, his head was big, and he hurriedly went up, and said: "The lower official Jiumen Qianzong Ding Luo, I don't know that Ling Hebo is visiting, and I miss the welcome, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

"Mr. Ding Qian, to make a long story short, can you seal the nine gates. I'm going to find someone next. Yang Fan said.

"Looking for someone? Sir, you want to seal the city gate in order to find someone? ”

"Yes."

Ding Qian said calmly: "I'm sorry, sir." The lower officials can't do it. However, Lord Meilixi has already instructed just now, let the people guarding the city gate pay more attention to the person you are looking for, as for this city gate, the lord, I will not be able to do it. ”

The reason why Meilixi is Meilixi can stay in the high position of Shuntianfu Yin for a long time, the set of methods in this officialdom is played by him very well. Not only does not touch the bottom line, but also gives you a feeling that he has helped you, and even Yang Fan, a person who has no good impression of him, also has a little gratitude to him in this matter.

In this world, there is such a kind of cleverness, like Meilixi, they will not be stupid enough to touch the bottom line in order to please others, but they can always use the means within the red line and within the scope of their own mobilization to provide convenience directly or indirectly, this is the person who has the ability.

When Yang Fan left the Jiumen Thousand Division, the rain had stopped. He whispered, "Silly girl, don't run too far, I can't find you." "All he can do now is what he can do, all he needs to do is wait for news, like a headless fly, looking all over the city, it's too difficult to find people.

This is not the information age, there is no electronic monitoring eye, and I don't know your identity information record, looking for a person is really like looking for a needle in a haystack. When Yang Fan returned to the old shop, an hour had passed. He sat there quietly, waiting for the news to come.

The gates of the four gates in the southwest are already guarded by brocade guards, once there are people who match. will leave for cross-examination, careful comparison. The number of Jinyi guards dispatched is also limited, only a few dozen people under Zhang Yao. It is also unrealistic to search the whole city. After all, this is not official business, and you can't trespass into someone's home.

The largest search team is made up of well-informed people scattered all over the place. They fought for the hundred taels and a thousand taels of silver. After all, that's the kind of money they probably won't earn in their lifetime.

The first person to look for Yang Fan in Laopu Street was a junior from a hotel. It is less than 100 meters away from Xufu. It was said that a girl stayed at the inn last night and left early this morning. Yang Fan gave him ten taels of silver, and promised to send ninety taels of silver to the inn when he found Wang Xu'er.

On that map of the city, Yang Fan drew a small circle on the Yuelai Inn and marked the time. According to Xiao Er's description of Wang Xu'er's outfit, appearance and height, it is basically determined that this is a reliable piece of news. With this reliable piece of information, the rest of the matter is much easier.

People kept rushing to the old shop street and told him the news that Yang Fan wanted to get. The aunt who buys vegetables, the uncle who sells tea, and passers-by. told Yang Fan the person they had in their impression and where they saw it. Of course, there are also some irrelevant messages and some distracting information.

When three people said that Wang Su'er was dressed in the same attire and was in the right direction, Yang Fan was sure that the first person described it was Wang Su'er. He weeded out the misinformation and began to look for useful information.

"You said you saw this woman at the Liangji intersection an hour ago, right?"

The old man nodded and said, "That's right, I was knocked to the ground at that time, and she helped me." So I paid special attention to it. It is indeed the man you are looking for, sir. ”

"That's good. Sorry for your help. Yang Fan put down his pen, looked at the more than fifty points marked on the map, smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed: "Silly girl." If you want to run home, you have to find the right direction. You stupid girl. ”

That's right, Wang Su'er's movement turned out to be moving towards the north of the city, and it was not far from the city gate. Yang Fan immediately asked people to send the news back to Zhang Yao. He immediately set off for the north of the city. He himself drove the carriage and galloped to the north of the city, just in time. It should be too late. He told himself. The whip in his hand was whipped again and again, and if the groom saw his actions, he would definitely feel sorry for the horse.

However, Yang Fan couldn't care about this, his carriage was already fast.

……

……

Over there, Yang Fan was already looking around. And this wayward girl followed a middle-aged uncle to the city gate at this moment.

"Uncle, did you say that if you go out from here, you will go straight all the way to Bashu?"

The middle-aged uncle, who was a head taller than Wang Su'er, smiled: "Yes." From here, out of the city gate, all the way through, it is Bashu. ”

Wang Su'er asked, "How far is Bashu?" ”

"It's not far, it's not far, it's coming soon."

She carried a burden on her back and muttered in a low voice: "However, Brother Yang said that Bashu is far away." ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled: "Yes, it's very far away." I just said it was in that direction, and I didn't say it would be more soon, right? ”

Wang Su'er said with some vigilance: "It looks like it's going to rain today, and I don't think I'm going to go out of the city." Thank you, Uncle, for leading the way. I know how to go, thank you. She turned to leave.

"Little girl, it's so late, if you run around again, you won't be able to get out of the city today. I have inquired, and the gate will be closed for three days after tomorrow, and it seems that some people are coming. You have to think about it, if you can't get out, you'll be arrested. I'm not going out of town with you. If you want to go, you will stay. The middle-aged man turned into the alley to the side, and gradually disappeared.

Wang Su'er saw the middle-aged man disappear, looked at the city gate in front of her, and looked back at the long street, where sparse figures passed by her from time to time. She felt an inexplicable moment of disappointment, then turned her head and walked towards the city gate. She really wanted someone to come over at this time, grab her, and say don't go. But I didn't want that person to appear, so I let her go back quietly alone.

A few strands of sorrow fell, Wang Xu'er's eyes were stunned, and some tearful eyes became more determined, and she hurried out of the city. She kept telling herself to be strong, to be strong. However, at the moment of leaving the city, in the midst of the bustling voices, her tears remained.

She took out a black veil from her baggage and put it on her face. Like a little white rabbit that has just escaped from its cage, looking curiously at the world outside the city. Walk in the direction of the outside of the city. (To be continued.) )
