18 There was no news of him
Evil Bulu felt that his right eyelid was jumping early in the morning, as if to fulfill the signs of the right eyelid jumping disaster. Soon, a county magistrate came over and asked him to go to the yamen. and brought Xu Li's original words, although Lao Wutou's death has no direct relationship with him, but he must go over to record a confession and go through the motions, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the above.
On the way back to the mansion after the county government recorded the confession, the carriage of the evil Bulu and a team of people and horses in a hurry took a look, he raised the bamboo curtain and saw Jia Zheng on the horse looking tired and numb, completely lost the flying and domineering of the past. Somehow, Evil Bulu's heart suddenly tightened, spasmed a few times, and suddenly had a bad premonition. Immediately ordered his subordinates to hurry up and hurry back to the house.
Evil Bulu returned to the mansion and still hadn't sat down. I saw the steamed buns crying and shouting in.
Wait for the steamed bun to intermittently swallow and tell the story of what happened. Evil Bulu suddenly felt five thunders bang on the top, and his head was buzzing and swollen.
In the end, reason triumphed over the waves of pathos. Evil Bulu immediately summoned all the entourage, maids, cooks, nurses, and old mothers up and down one hundred and ten people. Mobilize them to mobilize all the connections they can, and do their best to go into the mountains to search for people.
"Xiao Qi, may the Buddha bless you with a blessed life, a great life, and a safe life. A long cry came from outside the door with a grief-stricken tone. You don't need to look at people, everyone in the house can know. It was the second aunt who looked at the Sutra and recited the mantra at dusk. At the beginning, the second uncle married He Zi was not a good match, He Zi's family background was prominent, and he began to point fingers at the evil family just a few days after entering the door. Later, the evil master didn't give her a good look, so he reined in his edge and retreated behind the scenes. In fact, some people, including those in the evil mansion, know that the affairs of the second uncle's family are still decided by this woman who worships God and recites Buddhism.
He Zi, who never spared tears, came with the support of the maid. Tears flowed down his face, and he cried all his makeup. While wiping his tears with a handkerchief, he sobbed and cried bitterly.
"Big brother, I have already sent someone to inform the third child, and he is rushing back to Nanjun. The horses, torches, and money for the shops were prepared, and the manpower was also arranged. In addition, Jia Huai's kid is by no means a good type, I have finished reporting at the end of the yamen, and I am only waiting for Xu Zhutou to go over to interrogate people. Evil Mu'an followed behind He Zi, his eyes flushed, and his tone sounded grief-stricken. Then he turned to the people who were standing still and said, "You all listen to me, no one on the old lady's side is allowed to leak half a word, otherwise..." Turning his head slightly, his gaze crossed the top of his wife's head, and he couldn't help but be startled when he bumped into the eyes of Xie Bulu that were burning with flames. Mouthed in embarrassment.
There was a short silence, and only He Zi's sobs were heard in the hall of Nuoda, and one sound was tight, and it seemed that it was not so sad.
In a moment, Xie Bulu's powerful arm waved forward and shouted, "Prepare the horse, go into the mountains to search for people." ”
The mountains are like the undulating waves of the sea, endless. The search for Evil Xiaoqi used almost half of the manpower of Jincheng to drill mountains and mountains along the vein of Tuling Mountain, cross streams and ditches. But no matter how they shouted, no matter how they roared, all they answered was the deep and faint echo of the mountains.
The terrain of the Turing Mountains rises and falls, and the valleys are covered with complex and dense forests, and the valleys hide the cols, and the steep slopes are full of dense woods and shrubs. It is not known how many ravines, how many caves there are in the mountains.
Searching for a teenager whose fate is uncertain in such an environment is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Yellow smoke billowed from the entire official road, and there was not a trace of horses' hooves in sight.
Xu Li rode on the horse, his brows furrowed. Imagine what Evil Xiaoqi, who was also galloping on this ancient tea horse road, what was he thinking at that time? Maybe he didn't think about anything. Through the steamed buns and the confessions of several parties, I always feel that the disappearance of Evil Xiaoqi is inseparable from the swinger of the Jia family. He slowly increased his speed, thinking that it was not impossible for someone to approach him at the same speed and then take the opportunity to attack. But the case cannot be handled by rational inference alone, and there is also no evidence that Evil Xiaoqi did not fall off the cliff accidentally.
Thinking of this, Xu Li couldn't help but smile bitterly. Lao Wutou's case suddenly came to mind again. Again, it was an accident, and obviously this one was much more clever.
After seven days and seven nights of hard searching, it seems that the evil Xiaoqi who has evaporated in the world has left only endless pain and despair to the evil Bulu. Almost overnight, the temples were crawling with gray hair. The eyebrows and beard have lost their former luster, and even the back can be seen to be slightly packed. It was as if I was a teenager in an instant.
It is still the clansmen of the evil family who say that people are born to die, or set up a tablet in the ancestral ancestral hall to comfort Xiao Qi's spirit in the sky, and the soul can be placed.
Unexpectedly, the usually elegant evil Bulu immediately became furious, and roared rarely: "Xiao Qi won't die, it's impossible to leave like this." He'll definitely come back, definitely. You want to set up tablets for the living, are you crazy?"
Since then, no one dares to mention this stubble, but sometimes they will talk behind their backs about whether the master is crazy for his son.
Evil Mu'an once overheard such gossip, and when he turned pale, he said angrily: "In the future, I will chew such a tongue, and carefully cut off your tongue to feed the dog." ”
I don't know if it's because I'm happy after scolding my subordinates, or if the depression that has been suppressed for a long time has been vented. For no reason, Evil Mu'an felt very comfortable. Of course, this can't be shown on the face, and the face is still as deep as a black tan, which is always impossible to guess and can't see clearly.
On the night of the full moon of fifteen, the whole family is reunited.
Under the white moonlight, a lonely figure was dimly reflected.
I thought that time would dilute some things, but I didn't expect that the uncomfortable torment was not lost a little bit. Standing in the moonlight under the plane tree, looking up at the infinite starry sky, he thought to himself that somewhere in the sky, Xiao Qi was also watching him? Although he never refused to admit such a cruel truth, he could not deceive his heart.
Just when Xu Li was about to summon Jia Huai, he encountered unexpected obstruction.
The catcher who went to Jiafu soon came back to report that the half-foot-thick vermilion lacquer door of Jiafu Mansion was closed, and no matter how he shouted and knocked, there was no movement inside.
This made Xu Li extremely angry, the Jia family relied on a few stinky money, and dared to openly confront the six gates, is there still a royal law in his eyes? was stopped by an old catcher next to him and reminded him that there was neither evidence nor official documents of the court at the moment. If you don't say that the teacher is unknown, you may be bitten by the Jia family and sued for trespassing.
Calm down and think about it, it makes sense for the old catcher. Thanks to the fact that although the six gates of Jincheng, which is an important border area, have the functions of destroying rents and solving cases and taking thieves, there is no physical evidence of the crime, and it is still necessary to go through some complicated procedures to arrest the suspect.
The laws of the imperial court are relatively perfect, stipulating that in such cases, the county government can only issue a "temporary arrest warrant" and submit it to the higher department for signature and approval, and report it to the criminal department for record.
