Time went back more than a quarter of an hour ago, in the house on Xishui Street, Mu Qixingse hurriedly walked outside the study and said in a low voice: "Master, something is wrong." ”

"Come in!"

"Yes!" Mu Qi walked in after hearing the order and stood in front of the table with his head bowed.

"What happened?" The boy looked up and asked in a low voice.

Mu Qi knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty to the young man: "Master, the subordinates are not doing well, let.... The little lady's brother was taken captive! ”

The look on the young man's face turned cold: "Where were you then?" ”

"The subordinates have been following the master's instructions, following the little lady from afar, today is the Shangyuan Festival, and the place where the little lady is at that time is surging."

"When the riot broke out, the subordinates rushed over as soon as possible, but it was too late, and the subordinates explored the neighborhood and couldn't find any traces of those people, so they came back first to report!"

The young man frowned slightly, so someone deliberately premeditated?

Otherwise, with Mu Qi's ability, it would be impossible to gain nothing.

"But are there any other children who have been lost?" He tapped his fingers on the table a few times and asked.

Mu Qi showed a look of admiration on his face, and replied, "Yes, there was another lady's child at that time, which was also lost!" ”

When Mu Qingfeng heard this, he got up from his chair and commanded as he walked out: "Follow me to the county office!" ”

"Yes!" Mu Qi bowed his head and followed.

..............

In the back hall of the county office, the county magistrate sat on the top and kept wiping his sweat, Mu Qingfeng sat indifferently on the chair on the left, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then put it down.

"Master Xie, this incident has been happening under your rule for more than half a month, and the location of that gang of thieves has not been found out?"

"It's... This.... That gang of thieves is really cautious, and every time they commit a crime, they don't leave any traces. The lower officials are helpless. ”

Xie Xian Ling wiped the sweat from his forehead again and explained.

"I don't know how many errand soldiers there are in the county government?" Mu Qingfeng suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

Xie Xian Ling groaned, and slowly reported a number: "There are sixty-eight people in Soap, Zhuang, and Kuai, and there are a few Minzhuang, I don't know why Lang Jun asked about this?" ”

Mu Qingfeng said lightly: "Today is the Shangyuan Festival, but there is such an evil thing as the kidnapping of children in the county. ”

"Shouldn't your lord send someone to disperse the crowd and cut off the thoughts of the thieves? Why, do adults want to see more children taken captive before they do anything? ”

"Yes, yes, Lang Jun's words are reasonable, the lower officials will arrange it, and this will arrange it!" Xie Xianling wiped the sweat from his forehead again and said in response.

I heard Mu Qingfeng's cold voice sound again: "And those kidnapped children, shouldn't adults take care of them?" ”

"It should be managed, it should be managed, and the subordinate will send more people to investigate!" Xie County's order responded.

As soon as Xie County Ling finished ordering his subordinates to do this, he saw a messenger walk in and respectfully reported: "My lord, someone came to report the case, saying that her child was lost on the street. ”

Xie Xianling waved his hand impatiently: "Didn't I already send someone to find it?" Let them go back and wait for news! ”

The errand raised his head and looked at the young man behind him carefully, bowed his head and said, "My lord, there are two families, one of them is missing, the youngest granddaughter of Master Li from Jingzhaoli, a member of the Zhongshu House. ”

"What? Why didn't you say that earlier? Why don't you invite them in? Xie Xian Ling waved his hand and ordered.

The messenger answered, and was about to turn around to ask for someone, when he heard the young man's voice sound: "My lord, since you have come with you, why don't you all come in?" ”

Xie Xian Ling hesitated, and finally said: "Do what Lang Jun said!" ”

"Yes!" The messenger retreated, and soon walked in with eight men.

It was Ye Hao and his party, as well as the woman who was looking for someone on the street before, and her husband and maid.

The Zhongshu Sheren is an official of the fifth grade, and the accident is the little granddaughter of the family, which is a big deal, and the county order has to pay attention to it.

His gaze swept over a few people, and he asked the man beside the woman, "I don't know this Lang Jun's father, but Lord Li?" ”

The man bowed down and saluted him: "Yes, this time I took my daughter back to my hometown, but I didn't expect to lose my daughter, my father has always loved her, if I know about this, I don't know how sad I will be!" ”

He clearly knew what he depended on, and he was talking about his father both inside and out.

Xie Xian Ling nodded: "I already know about this matter, and I have now sent someone out to investigate, but this gang of thieves is cunning, and it is difficult to say when they will be found." ”

"My lord, may we wait here for a while? If there's no news tonight, we'll ......" When the man said this, there was a bit of grief on his face.

If you can't find anyone tonight, then the hope after that is estimated to be even smaller.

Xie Xian Ling sighed for a few breaths and nodded in agreement: "It's okay, you guys will rest here for a while, and this official will coordinate this matter." ”

"Thank you, sir!" The man bowed again.

Just as the two were talking, Ye Hao looked at the young man on the left, and her eyes widened in surprise, how could this person be here?

..............

"This time I was lucky, I caught a few good goods, and it was not in vain for a few of us to plan hard!"

Outside the house of a farm outside the county seat, a man at the door glanced at several dolls in the house and said with a smile.

"Yes, big brother, look at that little lady, with fine skin and tender flesh, and she looks good, if she wasn't too young, tsk, maybe I wouldn't be able to help it."

The young man next to him snorted and said with a grin.

When the man who spoke first heard this, he slapped him on the head and scolded: "You can give me a little more care, this time we have finally got these good goods!" ”

"Just count on them to sell for a lot of money, if you run for me, I'll try to ask you and show me!"

"Yes, I'll show you!" The young man hurriedly answered.

"Oops, this tosses me, I'll have a glass of wine and ......"

In the messy room, Ye Wenjun opened his eyes in a daze, heard the sound of conversation outside the door, and hurriedly closed his eyes again.

It wasn't until the door was quiet that he cautiously opened his eyes and swept his gaze around.

The room was dark, and he could barely see his neighborhood by the meager moonlight shining in through the broken window.

On the straw beside him lay a fair-skinned and lovely girl, who looked about the same age as him, only four or five years old.

Shortly after he woke up, the girl rubbed her eyes and opened them in a daze, looking at the stranger in front of her.

There was a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and he asked in a glutinous voice, "Who are you?" Where is A-Niang? ”

Ye Wenjun shook his head honestly and replied softly, "I don't know!" ”

Struggling to prop up his body with his hands tied, he sat up from the straw pile, and then he saw the whole room.

His complexion changed slightly, and sure enough..... He's not in a good place.

Around the room, there were more than a dozen children who looked to be the same age as him, both male and female..... So, was he really taken captive?
