Leaving Lugang and returning to Shangcai, I saw the city gate from afar, and it was already dusk.

The remnants of the sky are like red brocade, spreading in the sky, dotting the infinite sky.

Yuan Xu and Zhu Gongdao walked slowly, and the afterglow of the remnant sun reflected on the two, plating them with a thin layer of gold.

"Ma's uncle and nephew were not even convinced, but they were ambushed by Gongzi in a few words, and Gongzi was convinced!" Grinning, Zhu Gong was full of praise for Yuan Xu.

"Knowing what the two of them think in their hearts, of course they can be convinced!" Yuan Xu said lightly: "Except for natural villains, no one will be content to be a thief." Ma's uncles and nephews gathered hundreds of people, and the momentum was not insignificant, but they did not commit any offense to the people, which shows that their nature is not evil. Anyone who is given a way out, they will choose to leave Lugang. ”

"What Childe said is very true!" Yuan Xu's words made Zhu Gongdao think of himself.

As Yuan Xu said, why would he want to be a thief?

It's not that I'm forced to be helpless, who is willing to bear the notoriety?

It was getting closer and closer to the Shangcai City Gate, and when they reached the outside of the city, a county soldier ran over to meet the two.

"The county lieutenant is back!" After a salute, the county soldier said: "Zhen County has a big incident in the family, and he is looking for the county lieutenant to discuss!" ”

"What?"

"I heard that the two young ladies of the Zhen family went to Caihe to play, and they didn't want to be captured by thieves!"

It's a thief again!

Yuan Xu and Zhu Gongdao glanced at each other.

Zhu Gongdao accompanied him to Lugang, Ma's uncle and nephew were also on the mountain all day, and there was no time to kidnap the young lady of Zhen Yi's family!

The only possibility is the murderers who killed the bad man!

"Justice, don't enter the city!" Yuan Xu instructed Zhu Gongdao: "Arrange manpower, rush to Caihe immediately, inform the Ma brothers, and ask the two of them to investigate in secret." Tonight, tomorrow morning, and you! ”

Arching his hand, he turned his mount around and galloped out of the city.

Yuan Xu, surrounded by several county soldiers, ran all the way to Zhen Yi's mansion.

At dusk, most of the shops and street stalls in the city had closed, and Yuan Xu quickly left the county soldiers behind.

When he arrived at Zhen Yi's Mansion, he turned over and dismounted.

Just as he was about to go inside, Seven Dogs ran up.

"The county lieutenant is here!" Helping him hold the horse, Qigou said: "The house is already in chaos, and the county magistrate doesn't know what to do!" ”

Ignoring him, Yuan Xu quickly ran into Zhen Yi's mansion.

As soon as he entered the front yard, he heard the crying of a woman from the house.

Running to the door where the crying was heard, he pushed it open with all his might.

There were several women sitting in the room who were crying incessantly, and Zhen Yi and a few officials sighed, looking like they didn't know what to do.

The sound of pushing the door attracted everyone's attention, the woman was still crying, but Zhen Yi and the others were looking at the door.

Seeing that it was Yuan Xu coming, Zhen Yi walked up quickly to meet him, grabbed his hands and said, "County Lieutenant, there are only two daughters left beside him......"

"What's going on?" Yuan Xu frowned and asked.

"The county sent someone to be killed, and a certain heart investigated the matter, and the second daughter went to Caihe to play in the morning, but just ordered the house slaves to follow." After all, Zhen Yi is a county order, although he encountered a major event, he was able to stabilize his mind a little: "At sunset, only one house slave returned, saying that she was kidnapped by thieves ......"

"Where are the messenger slaves?"

"I've been locked up in the firewood room, waiting for it to be delivered."

"Bring him here, I have something to ask!" Yuan Xu first asked Zhen Yi to bring a house slave, and then instructed the seven dogs who followed him to the door: "Go to Dong's house and summon a certain entourage!" ”

The seven dogs turned to leave, and Zhen Yi also instructed the servants to bring the returning house slaves.

"Cry! Cry! Cry! What's the use of crying? Can you make the young lady cry back? The woman couldn't stop crying, Zhen Yi was upset and shouted angrily.

The women stopped crying, and one by one they only dared to sob, not to cry again.

After seeing Zhen Xiao, Yuan Xu was deeply impressed by her beauty and talent, and he couldn't bear to sit back and watch the fairy-like Zhen sisters being brutalized!

Although Zhen Yi's deeds are deserved, his daughter is not at fault.

And this matter should be related to the killing of six poor people, Yuan Xu has decided to go to Caihe to investigate.

After a while, the house slave who returned to the house to report the interrogation was brought in.

He was paralyzed, and was dragged into the house by two servants and thrown to the ground.

Sitting on the ground, the house slave couldn't stop trembling, and his eyes were dull.

"Don't be afraid!" Standing in front of him, Yuan Xu slowed down his tone: "Tell me how the young lady was kidnapped?" The people who are with you are safe at this moment? ”

"Dead...... He's dead...... ...... are all dead" trembling all over, the house slave suddenly raised his head, stared at Yuan Xu in horror with round eyes, quickly took a few steps back, and kept shouting: "Don't kill me!" Don't kill me! ”

"It's crazy!" Seeing him like this, Yuan Xu knew that he couldn't ask anything, and said to Zhen Yi: "When I return to the report, I also hold my breath, and if my breath is relaxed, I will go crazy!" The county ordered him not to be locked up in the firewood room, so that he could be treated kindly! ”

His face was pale and gray, and Zhen Yi waved his hand.

Two domestic servants set up the crazy house slave and exited the room.

"What? How? Clenching his fists, Zhen Yi smashed in front of his chest, and his mind was already messy.

"Arrange manpower, a certain person will go to Caihe to investigate!" Holding Zhen Yi's hands, Yuan Xu said, "I will bring Miss back completely!" ”

"There is a county lieutenant of Lao!" Almost crying, Zhen Yi said: "If you can save the second daughter, you will become a cow and a horse, and you will also repay the kindness of the county lieutenant!" ”

Nodding, Yuan Xu turned around and left.

Walking quickly to the main gate of Zhen's house, the four guards who were ordered to come were already on the threshold.

Met head-on, Yuan Xu waved his hand and said: "You don't have to go inside, go to Caihe with a certain person!" ”

The four of them answered and got on their horses one after another.

Five fast horses galloped along the street, and the bluestone pavement was beaten by the horses' hooves like war drums.

A few people who returned late on the street saw the fast horses coming, and they gave way to the roadside.

"The county lieutenant is doing something, get out of the way quickly!" When they arrived at the east gate of the city, the county soldiers guarding the gate were about to step forward to ask, when a guard shouted loudly.

Seeing this situation, the two county soldiers who were going to step forward dared to stop them in the slightest!

Although the new county lieutenant only entered the barracks once, the soldiers threw themselves on the five-body body that he had already admired!

After all, it was Yuan Xu who instigated the county soldiers to rob the treasury and fill their stomachs!

Yuan Xu and the others did not stop their horses and rushed straight out of the city gate.

It was already dark, and Cai He was located thirty miles east of the city, and it would take some time to arrive!

Along the way, Yuan Xu was urging Jianma to go faster, and the guards didn't dare to ask more, just blindly followed!

At the same time, on the hill outside the city, a team of dozens of people was also rapidly descending the mountain and advancing towards the Cai River.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Don't twrizzle like a! Wielding a cooked copper stick, Zhu Gongdao raised his voice and shouted: "Within half an hour, we must rush to Caihe!" ”
