Time flies, and summer is over in a blink of an eye.

After the midsummer of Chang'an City passed, everything began to fall apart, which made Hualang and others deeply feel that the autumn in Chang'an came earlier than the autumn in the south.

And at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, Hua Lang and others ushered in the new year's begging festival.

Originally, everyone thought that such a festival should be more lively, but in the past begging festivals, Hua Lang and others always encountered murders of one kind or another, so they never had a good time.

And this year, they have a faint hunch that they feel that this begging festival may not be easy either.

And this is exactly the case, on the evening of the seventh day of the seventh month of July, when the people in Chang'an City were bustling with people, a middle-aged man hurriedly pushed aside the crowd and walked towards the government, his pace was a little hurried, and his expression was nervous.

There were a lot of pedestrians on the street, and many people knew this man, so they had to talk to him.

"Yo, isn't this a seedling outside, why are you so busy?"

"yes, where are you going?"

Many people who knew the man kept greeting him, but he ignored none of them, and still hurried to the palace with a look.

When the man rushed to the mansion, Hua Lang, Li Jing'an and others were chatting in the backyard, and recounting the excitement of the streets tonight, and just as they were talking about the rise, the man beat the drum outside the mansion gate.

The drum sounded, which means that someone reported the case, and everyone didn't care about talking anymore, so they hurriedly ascended to the court.

The moonlight tonight is not very good, but after the lamp is on in the lobby, it is still a lot brighter, and after the official brought the drummer to the hall, Li Jingan immediately asked: "Who is in the hall, why is the drumming?" ”

The person who came hurriedly knelt down and said, "The grass people are virtuous, and the drumming is because the grass people's daughter is missing." ”

After hearing Miao Youde's words, Li Jingan and the others were suddenly shocked and said, "Your daughter is missing, what's going on?" ”

"Back to adults, it's like this, the grass people's daughter is called Miao Fang, after dinner tonight, she suddenly disappeared, the grass people looked for all the places they could find, but they didn't find it, the grass people were anxious, so they came to the government to report the case."

After Miao Youde finished speaking, Li Jingan frowned slightly and said, "How could your daughter disappear?" ”

"This ...... I don't know this grass people! ”

Hearing Miao Youde's answer, Li Jingan suddenly snorted coldly and said, "What nonsense, since your daughter is missing, there must be a reason, as a father, you don't know what to do?" ”

Miao Youde seemed very hesitant, and at this time, Li Jingan snorted coldly: "If you want this official to help you find your daughter, it's best to tell the truth about the matter, otherwise, no one will be able to find your daughter." ”

This sentence was more or less threatening, so after Li Jingan finished speaking, Miao Youde hurriedly knelt down and said, "My lord,...... In fact, the thing is like this, the little girl fell in love with a poor scholar before, but the scholar's family was really too poor, and the scholar did not get famous, and the grass people were worried that their daughter would suffer after marrying the scholar, so she never agreed to the two of them, and the grass people thought...... Could it be that my daughter is missing because of this? ”

"Since you know the reason for your daughter's disappearance, why don't you go to the scholar's house to look for it?"

"Back to the adult's words, the grass people went to look for it, but the scholar is gone."

Hearing this, Li Jingan suddenly remained silent, men and women eloped, this matter is not big, it is not small, if it is spread, I am afraid that it will have a great impact on Miao Youde, but this Miao Youde actually came to report the case, and he was really anxious to think about it.

After thinking for a while, Li Jingan asked, "What is the name of the scholar?" ”

"Back to the adult, the scholar's surname is Dong Mingyun, and his family lives on Mingli Street in the west of the city."

Although Mingli Street is called Mingli Street, it is not prosperous, and it is not rich, it can be said that it is a few days of cold streets in Chang'an City, and most of the people who live there are very poor and poor, but they want to save face.

Since this Dong Yun is a scholar, he must be a little arrogant, and it makes sense to live in that kind of place.

After listening to Miao Youde's words, Li Jingan bowed slightly, and then ordered someone to go to Mingli Street to see where that Dong Yun had gone, and after giving such an order, Li Jingan glanced at Hua Lang, who had been standing aside without saying a word, and asked, "Dude, should we go to Miao Mansion to have a look?" ”

The elopement case is a very clear case, and there is actually nothing to see for Su Wuming, but now that Dong Yun and Miao Fang are missing, Hua Lang feels that it is also appropriate to go to Miao Mansion to take a look.

A group of people walked through the bustling streets on such a night and arrived at Miao Youde's house, this Miao Youde seemed to be very rich, the mansion was very large, and there were many servants, after they entered the Miao Mansion, Miao Youde directly led them to Miao Fang's room.

Miao Fang's room has a faint fragrance, and the room is slightly messy, indicating that Miao Fang was very busy when she left, in addition, there are a lot less valuable things in the house, and there may be a little clue found from the house, and such a clue just shows that Miao Fang is likely to elope.

And after confirming that it was elopement, Li Jingan immediately ordered the whole city to search for Miao Fang and Dong Yun, the city gate was closed when it was dark, and the two of them must still be in Chang'an City, although this Chang'an City is big, but they are like turtles in an urn, it is not difficult to find them.

After Li Jing'an gave the order to find people, Miao Youde was a little relieved, but the next day, the officials searched the entire Chang'an City, but they couldn't find Miao Fang, which made Li Jingan wonder, did they have left the city?

But the city gate has been closed, and after a strict investigation after dawn, how did they get out of the city?

Things are very strange, although Li Jingan didn't believe that Miao Fang and Dong Yun had already left the city, but he still sent a lot of officials to look for them outside the city, and at this time, Miao Youde was already eager to be angry anymore.

Miao Youde came to the government from time to time to ask questions, but for a few days, there was no news at all, and when Miao Youde asked one after another, a government official investigated that the reason why Miao Youde was so anxious was because Ma Fucai's family in Chang'an City forced him to question.

Ma Fucai is a famous son-in-law in Chang'an City, and his family business is very huge, and the reason why Ma Fucai questioned Miao You is because before Miao Fang disappeared, Miao Youde had already married Miao Fang to Ma Fucai.

Of course, you don't have to think carefully to understand that Miao Fang married Ma Fucai, this is just because Miao Youde fell in love with Ma Fucai's family business, in other words, Miao Fang became a victim of her father's greed.
