Wei Yu thought for a while and said: "What you just said is indeed the most direct way, but it is also a method that must not be used now, when you and I stand in the position of master and uncle, if you want to do this again, I will not stop you." As for what to do, I think, those people must have spent countless efforts to find this sword back then, and they must have worked hard to find out the whereabouts of Xiao Lianjian, so even if the search from your house is fruitless, it is impossible to stop here, and there will definitely be many inquiries, we just need to know who is looking for the news of Xiao Lianjian over the years. ”

"Where do you start?" Li Xia asked.

"Saying you're stupid, you're really not smart, have you forgotten where Shui Fengqing is? I'm a young master now, and it's not easy to find out the news. Wei Yu shook his head and smiled.

It's just that Li Xia disagreed: "This is my business, you don't have to involve Shui Fengqing." ”

"No need to excuse yourself, since you are my friend, it is right to help you, and I am not just here to help you", seeing that Li Xia was puzzled, Wei Yu continued to explain, "Since they shot to practice the sword in Xiao, and Xiao Lianjian is one of the three swords of Yin Tianzi, can you try to guess that their ultimate goal is actually the three swords of Yin Tianzi?" If this is the case, sooner or later trouble will hurt your body, so it is better to prepare now. ”

"What a great interest you two!"

Li Xia was about to answer, when he suddenly heard a voice from the courtyard below, and the two looked down, only to see Bai Ruoxi enter the courtyard at some point, so he stood below and looked up at them, and he didn't know how long he had been here and how much he had listened.

He was dressed in white and lightly furned, with an outstanding temperament, just like the style of a noble son, although he was standing below and looking up at the two, he would not make people feel bowed at all.

Wei Yu couldn't help but feel annoyed, just now she and Li Xia chatted too attentively, so that she didn't notice anyone coming at all, and now she just hopes that this Bai Dagongzi is a gentleman and doesn't have the bad habit of listening to people's corners.

"Bai Gongzi is laughing, the two of us are just bored." With that, one rolled over and fell from the roof and landed gently on the ground.

Bai Ruoxi looked at the smiling girl in front of her, her eyes were bright as if they were overflowing with starlight, she always seemed to be smiling, clean and clear smile, as if any troubles in the world had nothing to do with her, just like a clear spring in a mountain stream, which could flow into people's hearts and cleanse the dust. Maybe not dazzling, but unique,

Li Xia followed, stood aside with his sword, and said only two words: "Forgive me." ”

Bai Ruoxi didn't care, just smiled and said: "It's just a new arrival, so you don't have to mind." ”

When Wei Yu heard what he said, he knew that he was saying that he hadn't heard something, but whether he could believe it or not was two words, so he asked with a smile: "Isn't there a banquet in front of you?" Why did Bai Gongzi have time to come over at this time? ”

"There was my father and second brother socializing in front, and at this time, the people were almost scattered, and my father was worried that the two of them would be bored, so he ordered me to be the east and go out with the two of them." Bai Ruoxi said calmly that he had already learned the identities of Weiyu and Li Xia from his father, so he was happy to accept this errand.

Wei Yu glanced at Li Xia and saw that he didn't object, so he nodded and smiled: "Thank you so much, the two of us are worried that we have nothing to do!" ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Drunken Leaf Building is the most famous restaurant in Hangzhou city, it falls on the edge of the West Lake with beautiful scenery, the building is three floors high, standing upstairs facing the wind and the moon to make a long song of wine is definitely the first elegant thing in the world.

Zhao Yuanxin, the prefect of Hangzhou, had just finished attending Bai Letian's 50th birthday banquet, so he hurriedly left and rushed here. It stands to reason that the officials of the imperial court should be respected and do not have to pay attention to such a trivial matter as the people's birthday, but in fact, in many cases, these local officials have to deal with some local gentry and wealthy households.

Walked to the door of a private room on the third floor and knocked on the door, and after receiving permission, he walked in respectfully and bowed to the person who turned his back to him: "See Your Highness, Weichen sees that he is late, please forgive Your Highness!" ”

"Get up and tell me what's going on with the grain and grass in Gangnam Province?!" The man turned around, and it turned out to be Ning Qi, the Pavilion Master of the Seven Star Pavilion. It's just that at this time, he raised his eyebrows coldly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and anyone could see the difference in mood.

It was this sentence that made Zhao Yuanxin, who was kneeling on the ground, tremble and kowtow: "Your Highness forgives your sins!" Wechen deserves death! ”

"Put away your set of sins, you deserve death, this is not what this king wants to hear!" Ning Qi said coldly, his face was originally cold, so when he sank his face, no one would feel that it was an easy thing.

"Back to Your Highness, after the grain and grass were prepared a month ago, Wei Chen personally took someone to check it to ensure that there was no problem before ordering someone to send it, and the one who escorted the grain and grass was the pro-army in the general camp in Zhenbei, so it stands to reason that it should be foolproof, but ......" Zhao Yuanxin replied in a trembling voice.

"But, but it's just what you think is foolproof that something went wrong, and now that the north is about to use troops, grain and grass are the top priority in the army, what should you be guilty of if this kind of problem occurs!" Ning Qi squinted his eyes and said.

"Your Highness, Weichen did not deliberately escape responsibility, when the grain and grass were sent, General Zhou, who was in charge of the escort, had checked with the lower officials, and he should be able to prove that what the lower officials said was not false! I beg your Highness to be discerning! Zhao Yuanxin kowtowed and said, although the government of Jiangnan Province is in Yuezhou, but Hangzhou is the richest, this time the troops are in a hurry, so the grain and grass did not pass through the Yuezhou Mansion, but directly from Hangzhou to collect, which Cheng thought that the originally prepared grain and grass was transported to the capital when it was dropped by someone, if this time if it is not investigated, I am afraid that his whole family will be on the ground.

"If it weren't for General Zhou's testimony, would you have your life now? Get up and tell you about the cause and effect! ”

"Yes, thank you Lord Wang, thank you General Zhou." Only then did Zhao Yuanxin dare to get up and present the matter back and forth.

But it was said that the three of them were wandering on the street, Li Xia was indifferent, Bai Ruoxi grew up in Hangzhou since he was a child, he was familiar with the scenery, he was funny and friendly, he was noble but not arrogant, and he often said some anecdotes along the way, but he also talked with Weiyu very happily.

"Bai Gongzi is really popular, it seems that men still have to be gentle and funny to be more popular, especially women! Ha ha! After seeing a maid catch up with Bai Ruoxi and give him ornaments again, Weiyu made a joke.

"The fish girl is smiling." He's used to it, so he's not embarrassed.

"Huh? What's going on up front? Walking and walking, I saw a group of people gathered in front of me, noisy and noisy, and there seemed to be a faint cry coming out, Weiyu walked over curiously, Bai Ruoxi didn't want to pay attention to it, but when she passed, she had to follow.

"O my poor daughter! Why are you so miserable! But how can I live! Weiyu squeezed in, only to see an old couple hugging their heads and crying, and the people around them couldn't hear what was going on, so she had to pull someone casually and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?" ”

The aunt saw that it was a beautiful and lovely little girl, so she said to her: "This is the old Wang and her daughter-in-law in Wangjia Village outside the city, the couple only gave birth to a daughter in their lives, and they have been raised until now they are twenty-eight years old, and they are about to discuss marriage, who knows, his daughter went out a few days ago and never went back, and the old couple was in a hurry to report to the official", the aunt said while pointing to the direction of the city center, which is about where the Yamen of Hangzhou City is located, "I must have come to listen to the news today, and I can't find it back to see this situation, alas-"

Thinking of the "Wang family in the neighboring village" mentioned by the old man who drove the car in the morning, it must be these two people, Wei Yu thought about it and asked: "Auntie, can anyone else be missing when you say this?" ”

"Oh, not really! From September to now, there have been more than a dozen missing girls, all of whom are fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls, and I don't know who is so ruthless. I said, girl, look at your young age, so beautiful, but be careful! ”

"Thank you, Auntie!" After listening to this, Weiyu walked out of the crowd, and when he saw Bai Ruoxi coming up, he couldn't help but ask, "Does Bai Gongzi know about the disappearance of the girl in Hangzhou City?" ”

Bai Ruoxi did know that he had been busy preparing for his father's birthday banquet recently, and he hadn't paid attention to it, and this kind of thing should naturally be handled by the government, so he had to reply: "I did hear about it, but I didn't expect it to be so serious." ”

"Didn't any of those missing people ever come back?" Ask before the rain.

"This, girl, you are embarrassed, Bai is not from the government, and what he knows is just hearsay", he said with a smile, "Miss Yu wants to meddle in this matter?" ”

"It's just curious, the government hasn't solved the case for so long, and I don't know if those missing girls are still alive." They are not all the way to the government, so it's better not to act rashly. Or, wait until the birthday feast is over to investigate? She looked down in thought, but suddenly felt as if a gaze had fallen on her.

As soon as she raised her head, she fell into a pair of deep inky black eyes, Gu Zhen often said that when she smiled, there seemed to be starlight in her eyes, but at this time, she felt that this was not entirely true, the pair of eyes in front of her were really as vast and vast as the dark night sky, which seemed to contain thousands of stars in it, pure and profound, and for a moment she seemed to have the illusion that she was about to be swallowed by the night sky.

This is the second time Lou Weiyu has seen Ning Qi.

When she saw him for the first time, Weiyu stood on a high place eating buns and looked down at him, at that time she only thought that this person would look good when he smiled, and it would be a little scary with a straight face, and someone would definitely be unlucky if he smiled evilly, and when he frowned, he couldn't help but want to stretch out his hand to soothe the troubles between his eyebrows.

The second time it was the other way around, he was standing next to an open window, still dressed in black, unassuming but luxurious, she was sure that it would never be inferior to the clothes Gu Zhen had prepared for her. Perhaps because of looking up, his long figure seems to look taller, his eyes are like starry sky, but the whole person is like a vast ocean, which seems to be able to contain everything. When it is calm, the undercurrent surges, and when it rolls, it must be a stormy wave, but it makes people feel reassuring for no reason, is it an illusion?

However, what about illusions? Even the most remote streams will always flow into the sea in various ways, right?
