The most painful and sad person for Sirius' death was, of course, none other than the Fourteenth Prince. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Ming Zhu Gong naturally sent sincere condolences and profound apologies to the latter. The other princes comforted and persuaded the fourteenth prince.

At this time, in Zhuo Yuyuan, the Ming Zhu Mansion, Ming Yu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, turning around the hall, his face pale and gloomy. Ling Xue stood aside, lowered her head and sighed.

Princess Chu Xi scolded fiercely: "That damn robber is too insidious and vicious!" Sirius's death really saddened her.

Princess Yanran, the county lord of Wumei, and the county lord of Yunchu all accompanied her, either sitting or standing, or comforting Chu Xi, or persuading Mingyu, or suddenly popping up an idea.

However, these words of comfort seem superfluous and do not serve any purpose; And most of those ideas don't stand up to scrutiny, and they don't have much practicality.

The county lord of Wumei suddenly raised his head and said thoughtfully: "Dream Island is so big, I haven't found a trace for two days, it's rare for the robbers to hide in the sky?" ”

The county lord of Yunchu shook his head and sighed: "It may not be possible to hide in the sky, but it is very likely to hide underground." ”

"It's even harder to find if you're hiding underground!" Ling Xue stared at the door and sighed faintly, "Now you don't have any things like spirit dogs, condors, fire fox martens and the like that can help, and even if they do, they may not be able to catch the robbers." ”

Princess Yan Ran nodded and said, "Yes, we can't find anything by searching like this." Suddenly, he raised his eyes to look at Mingyu again, and said thoughtfully, "The robbers caught two people in broad daylight, aren't there one or two witnesses?" ”

Mingyu shook his head and sighed quietly: "There shouldn't be." If there were, someone would have reported it a long time ago! ’

Ling Xue frowned, and said, "At that time, everyone was attending the birthday celebration, who would have witnessed the scene of the robbers arresting people?" ”

Yan Ran gestured with his hand in the air, and slowly analyzed: "There may be witnesses, but they have the attitude that more things are better than less, and it is possible to hide them and not say anything." ”

Princess Chu Xi looked at Princess Yan Ran, and said with a pout: "Then what is the use of saying this?" Even if there were witnesses, they refused to say it then, and naturally they will not say it now. ”

"That's different." Princess Yan Ran waved her hand, smiled slightly, and said slowly: "They refused to say, on the one hand, because they were afraid of causing trouble, and on the other hand, they were not sure whether the clues they knew were useful. As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under the reward. If we put a big bounty on us to find witnesses, there will be people who will receive the reward. Clues from a single person may not be of much use, but if three or four people provide clues, and the clues are stacked, it may be possible to point to where the robbers are hiding. ”

"That's a good idea!" Princess Chu Xi agreed. Everyone said it was possible.

Mingyu had a rare smile on her face, and while facing out, she turned around and apologized, "Xue'er, you are here to accompany you." I'm going to ask my dad to issue a bounty notice. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, the bounty notice was prominently posted in various squares and intersections of Dream Island.

The notice reads: "The robbers kidnapped two men in broad daylight and shot a book with a sleeve arrow at the entrance of the Ryuyin Pavilion." If there are witnesses, you can come to the head of the office compound to report before today, and reward ten taels of gold. ”

Less than an hour after the notice was posted, people kept coming to the compound to provide clues.

At this time, the head of the sect was in full swing. Witnesses standing in the courtyard for half of the yard.

Hua Meng sat in the middle of the hall, dozens of families were lined up on both sides, and in the middle of the hall was a large vermilion wooden box, the lid of the box was open, and inside was a whole box of yellow and clear gold.

Just as a man went out happily with a gold bar in his hand, another person came into the hall with an itch to report.

A man who looked like a family man arched his hand upwards and said, "Huajiaotou, when I went to the locker room, I saw a man with a bulging sleeve, and I laughed at him at the time: 'Dude, you really can't eat and still walk around.'" In retrospect, the man must have been a robber, and the arrow in his sleeve must have been bulging. ”

"Do you see what that man looks like?" Hua Meng asked.

Jia Ding replied: "The man is dressed as a patriotic soldier, short and fat. I don't know anything else. I don't know if any of this is useful. ”

Hua Meng nodded, then waved his hand to him and said, "Okay, let's take the bounty and go down." ”

The man happily accepted the bounty. Another person dressed as a soldier of the Liang Kingdom came up, thinking sideways while thinking about it, and said in a witty voice: "We are sitting at the fifth table in the second row outside the door of the Dragon Yin Pavilion. At the time of the birthday gift of the fourteenth prince of the patriotic state, I saw a man dressed as a patriotic soldier, coming in from outside the gate of the Longyin Pavilion, bowing his head all the way, I asked him what he was doing, and he said that the adult had lost an important jade pendant and asked him to find it. Our attention was on the gift box, not on him. Later, there was a threat of archery by robbers. I guess the man must be the robber. By the time I came to my senses, I looked around, but the crowd was already in chaos, and the man was nowhere to be seen, so he must have taken advantage of the chaos to run away. ”

Hua Meng nodded and asked, "What do you see that person look like?" ”

Chen Guobing rubbed his hands and replied, "Medium build, slightly fat, he lowered his head, and he didn't see his face clearly. ”

"Okay, let's take the bounty and go down." Hua Meng waved his hand. Immediately, a servant handed him a gold bar. The man also went down with joy.

After that, another old man said: "On the day of the birthday meeting, I was responsible for staying in the mansion Hanzhang Garden. I had nothing else to do, just a sips or two of wine in my room. Suddenly, I heard a faint cry of 'a thief is coming'. I went out of the room, turned the corridor, and suddenly my eyes flickered, and I saw a black shadow disappear in a flash, and the black shadow seemed to be carrying a person on its back. I went close to see it, and there was nothing over there. I also went to a few other people who stayed behind and told me about it, and they all said that they had not seen or heard the thief. I thought I was dazzled, so I didn't pay much attention. ”

Hua Meng nodded: "Okay, let's get the bounty and go down." ”

Later, some people provided clues, or said that they saw the man in black carrying a person into the woods, or that they saw a man in black carrying a person into the mountains, and so on.

Many clues were synthesized to form a robber roadmap in Hua Meng's mind. There were two robbers, one of whom was dressed in black and sneaked into Hanzhang Garden, intending to commit a robbery, and might be discovered, so he kidnapped the man and carried him into the mountains; Others, disguised as patriotic soldiers, blended into the crowd of birthday greetings, waiting for an opportunity to shoot threatening Hidden Arrows.

Although there is a clear road map, there is still a long way to go to find the robbers. Because the entire Dream Island, including Dream Jade Mountain, was searched to the bottom, and the result was nothing. Another big search may not necessarily lead to better results.

The clue givers smiled and took the bounty and went out, and there were only one or two people left in the courtyard outside the door, and there was still half a box of gold bars left in the box.

Hua Meng looked out of the door with empty eyes, shook his head and sighed: "It seems that this heavy reward is also in vain, and it is a waste of time!" ”
