Diao Saburo was stunned when he heard this,

"New clues? Is it also from this house? ”

"yes,"

Zong Jiyuan's face looked very gloomy,

"By the way, hasn't that Mrs. Hu come back yet?"

"No, I don't know what's going on."

Seeing her expression, Diao Saburo knew that something serious must have happened.

"What's wrong? Could it be that Hu Shifa's kid still has something to explain? ”

"No, it's not all him,"

Zong Jiyuan raised his head and glanced at the gate of the Hu Mansion and said,

"Third Brother Diao, please leave the two brothers here to guard, and then call all the remaining brothers and come with the younger brother."

"Okay."

Diao Saburo nodded, and ordered one of the messengers next to him to call back the other four people who were resting in rotation, and arranged to guard the door and follow Zong Jiyuan to the gate of the Hu Mansion.

At this time, almost all the family members here knew Zong Jiyuan, and when they saw that she was coming back so soon, they didn't dare to come forward to interrogate, so they immediately ran inside and sent a message to Hu Shi.

And this Young Master Hu is asking the housekeeper for advice on how to be considered "Ming Media is marrying" at this time, and plans to officially marry the three girls according to Lord He's request. When he heard that it was the beautiful young master Zong Jiyuan in the county government who came to look for him, he was immediately overjoyed, and he specially tidied up his clothes and walked out of the door to greet him.

But when he went out to take a look, he saw Zong Jiyuan's face sinking like water, standing with his hands in his hands, and Diao Saburo and other errand servants who followed behind him were also full of seriousness, Hu Shifa's heart suddenly beat the drum, and while thinking about what he had done wrong, he ran down the steps.

"Grandmaster, are you here? This、That's great.,What's the matter with you're looking for a villain? ”

"Master Ben was also about to ask you,"

Zong Jiyuan's autumn-like eyes were like cold ice at this time, staring at him deadly,

"Tell me, what shady deeds are hidden in your mansion? I still plan to hide it from our government! ”

"No, no,"

Hu Shifa looked almost stunned, and after thinking about it, he waved his hand again and again,

"It's really not, how dare the villain deceive the government, let alone deceive the grandmaster!"

"Really? Come with me, then."

Seeing that the other party really didn't look like he was lying, Zong Jiyuan stepped forward and grabbed Hu Shifa's wrist, turned his head and said to Wang Yu,

"Lead us to the back garden."

"Please come with me."

Wang Yu didn't look at Hu Shifa either, and took the lead up the steps and led Zong Jiyuan inside, and these servants followed one after another.

Because there was no young master to speak, the family members of those Hu Mansions did not dare to make a mistake, so they had to keep a little distance behind at a loss and follow carefully.

In this way, the confused Young Master Hu was dragged by Zong Jiyuan until he came to the back garden, and his wrist was let go, only to hear the still cold voice of this master.

"You're here, do you still say you don't have anything to say to me?"

"The villain, the villain really doesn't know what you're referring to, master,"

At this time, Hu Shifa was so anxious that he seemed to be crying again, and said repeatedly,

"If I do something wrong, I hope you can clearly point it out and ask for ......"

"yes,"

Seeing that he really didn't know, Zong Jiyuan's heart felt inexplicably relaxed, and he sighed and said,

"Well, then I have the right to trust you."

Then he turned around and commanded,

"Let's work hard, search carefully in the area next to the lotus pond, and see if there is anything unusual."

"Huh!"

Hearing the master's clear order, the servants immediately scattered and searched around the lotus pond.

At this time, Diao Saburo asked in a low voice,

"Master, what happened?"

"I just got a clue that some of the so-called girls who were sent away have been killed and buried in this garden."

Zong Jiyuan's mood was very deep and authentic.

When Diao Saburo heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback,

"Is there such a thing?"

"yes,"

Zong Jiyuan's expression became even more gloomy, and he said,

"Honestly, I don't want it to be true. If those girls can live, even if they are tortured, as long as they are still alive in this world, there is a possibility that they can be rescued, but if they are really here, they will ......"

At this point, I can't go on.

Diao Saburo also shook his head helplessly, but as soon as he raised his eyes and saw that Wang Yu was also checking something around, he said angrily and funny,

"Why is this guy getting involved? Is that good? ”

"Oh?"

After his reminder, Zong Jiyuan also looked up, and saw that Wang Yu frowned and thought for a while, and leaned down to observe for a while, so he looked really serious like that, so he also smiled bitterly and said,

"Let him be, maybe this guy can really help."

"Okay, listen to you."

Diao Saburo agreed, and then joined the search.

At this time, it was still early spring, and although the grass in the rising sun had begun to break through the soil with all its might, revealing their little buds, most of the flowers and trees had not yet budded and released their leaves, so as far as the eye could see, the garden was still a little bleak and desolate.

Zong Jiyuan paced and slowly walked towards the lotus pond, and Hu Shifa, who had no idea, also hurriedly followed behind her.

Think about it carefully, in Miss Ji Xiaoyun's narration, the original words of Mrs. Hu were "buried in the lotus pond", in this case, it should not be in the water of the lotus pond, that is, on the shore.

While thinking about it, while observing whether there were any uneven places on the ground on the shore, looking at it, Zong Jiyuan's mind flashed and remembered something, and said,

"Brothers, take a good look at the remnants of the grass and see if there are any dense places where they are growing!"

"Got it!"

Everyone replied in unison.

Sure enough, not long after the words fell, I heard Wang Yu shout loudly,

"Grandmaster, Diao Catcher, all the officials, come and see here!"

Hearing his shout, almost everyone gathered around. Zong Jiyuan came to Wang Yu and asked,

"What's wrong? Did you find something? ”

"Come and see, look at this piece of the ground,"

Wang Yu beckoned to her and said with a gesture,

"This place is not very flat compared to the rest of the ground, it is obviously a little higher, and just as you said, Grandmaster, the remaining winter grass here is also denser than elsewhere."
