Later, Qingyang Daoist told Yang Congxun that there is a situation in this world called "darkness under the lamp", which tends to make people ignore those things that happen under their noses.

As soon as they saw that Miss Liu's boudoir was empty, the maids and servants who were responsible for serving Miss Liu's grooming and dressing up immediately ran to report to Mr. Liu and his wife that Miss had mysteriously disappeared in their room.

If this happened to an ordinary person, most of the old man would have ordered his subordinates to hurry up and carefully search for the whereabouts of the young lady in the mansion when he hurriedly got up and changed his clothes.

Then when the sky was bright on the sixth watch, after the official lord in the yamen was promoted, the lord hurried over to beat the drum and voice the grievances, and carefully reported the case to the lord in the court.

But the problem is that Master Liu is not like this, after all, this general sentence is usually in charge of the case of murder and robbery in the city, who can he find to report the case?

Therefore, after receiving the maid's notice, Master Liu, who hurriedly got up in his clothes, under the leadership of the housekeeper of Liu's Mansion, inspected the doors of Liu's Mansion one by one.

When Master Liu found that all the locks and keys on the door were intact, and there were no traces of being damaged by external forces, he immediately characterized this case as 'making animals and demons drugging and kidnapping people'.

Then Master Liu sent out a water and fire lottery, telling the catcher to hurry up and close the city gate, and then close the city to arrest those beast-making demons.

From beginning to end, no one thought that this Miss Liu, who had been mysteriously 'missing' all night, must have really left Liu's Mansion?

You must know that this large family has many houses, and there are often some houses dedicated to stacking those idle items that have not been used for many years and are discarded directly.

Unlike those rooms that are cleaned every day, these clutter-filled rooms may not be entered for several years.

If that Miss Liu was really hiding in a long-idle warehouse, let alone two days, even if there were a few more days or two, the people of the Liu Mansion would never have imagined that Miss Liu would have been hiding here for a while.

Later, Qingyang Daoist carefully analyzed the case of the mysterious disappearance of the daughter of the General Judgment Mansion with Yang Congxun, and bluntly said that he thought that this case was not committed by ordinary beast-making demons, and the main reason was that the suspect in the case did not have sufficient motives to commit the crime!

These animal demons mainly drugged the victim's food and water, so that the victim temporarily lost the ability to resist, so that he was at his mercy.

The evil acts they commit are basically human trafficking, and the targets of the crimes they want to commit have always been very clear: those victims are either women with a slight appearance or young children who are not very old and ignorant.

Although I don't know what Miss Liu's appearance is, Chengdu Mansion has been a place of beautiful women since ancient times, and people with good colors abound...... Directly provoke the general judge in charge of local security, isn't there a hole in the brains of this group?

The real beast-making demon should look like this: for example, when the Qingyang Daoist passed by Yangzhou a few days ago, he heard such a story from a familiar head catcher.

According to that Xue Zhutou, once the prefect of Yangzhou had just returned to the back house after the morning office, a small shopkeeper who ran an inn in Yangzhou City sent a young man who was out of breath to run the case.

According to the young man, a strange customer suddenly came to their store that morning.

As for why this guest is particularly strange, it is because this person carries with him three donkeys with fine hair.

Two of the donkeys were leashed around a cart, while the last one was tied to four hooves and thrown on the board of the cart!

Because Yangzhou had the largest mule and horse trading market in the entire Jiangnan region, the shopkeeper took it for granted that this guest was a merchant who came from other places to participate in the livestock trade.

As for why this guest tied the four hooves of a donkey, it was probably because it was a donkey, the kind that 'led and didn't go, and fought backwards'.

In order to speed up the journey, the guest had to tie up the hooves of the donkey and pull the cart to sell.

So the shopkeeper was so attentive that after inviting the guests into the store, he urged the innkeeper to quickly take the reins from the hands of the guests and lead the donkeys brought by the guests to the backyard stables to take care of them carefully.

That's when an even more bizarre scene emerged.

Seeing that the shopkeeper asked the man to lead the donkeys to the backyard and take care of them, the guest who led the donkeys shook his head like a rattle.

"Don't worry about the master, I have already fed these animals before I leave home in the morning, and now I will only temporarily store these donkeys in your house, and the master's family will be tired and watched.

You don't have to feed the donkeys forage, especially donkeys, do you remember? ”

When the owner heard this, he was stunned, and said in his heart that I have been in the inn for 20 years, and I have seen stingy customers, but I have never seen such a stingy person as you.

Isn't it just to save two forage money, and you have to explain so solemnly?

How much forage can three donkeys eat in a day?

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper hurriedly explained to the guest with a smile on his face.

"This guest officer, you have misunderstood, this forage for feeding livestock is specially given by the small shop, and I will never accept another one from you."

Who knew that the owner of the store didn't explain it, but the guest who stayed in the hotel opposite this explanation was even more anxious.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying, owner? Don't feed these three donkeys with water or I won't live in your shop!"

It's a strange thing that happens every year, especially today.

The owner of the shop never expected that his promise to give forage for nothing would provoke the other party all of a sudden, and hurriedly patted his chest to ensure that he would never feed these donkeys with water and feed.

Only then did he persuade the other party slightly, so the guest snorted angrily and turned around and went upstairs to rest.

After the guest went upstairs to rest, the owner of the inn was about to settle the accounts on the counter, and at the same time muttered in his heart, saying that the behavior of this guest was too strange, why didn't he even ask for the forage given for free?

Thinking about it, the shopkeeper's heart suddenly moved: Could it be that these donkeys he brought were actually suffering from hidden diseases?

The purpose of his stay in my house is to make the donkey die in my shop the next day, and then borrow these dead donkeys to blackmail me for a sum of money?

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper suddenly couldn't even care about the account, and hurriedly got up and rushed to the backyard stables to check on the donkeys.

At this glance, the shopkeeper, who had also been in the livestock business in the early years, suddenly saw that something was wrong.

When he entered the shop, the donkeys that had arrived were still in good spirits, but after a short while, the two donkeys were already lying on the ground.

And the donkey tied to the cart was even more miserable, this mouth spit out a red tongue, and kept "ho-ho" and panted.

It seemed that if there was no more water to drink, the donkey would have to kick his legs in the stable.

The shopkeeper didn't care about any promise that he would never feed the donkey, so he hurried to the well in the backyard and pulled the rope and shook the wheel, took a fifth of the bucket of water with a bucket, and brought it back to the stables to quench the thirst of the donkey.

As mentioned earlier, the owner of this inn also went to the Yangzhou mule and horse market with his neighbors to sell livestock in the early years, and only opened this inn after saving a sum of money.

Therefore, the owner of the shopkeeper knew some ways to take care of the animals, and knew that the animals that were thirsty for water must not be fed all at once, but must be divided into many times, carrying buckets and feeding them little by little.

If a thirsty animal is allowed to drink too quickly and too quickly, it is easy for the cold well water to burst the stomach of the animal, causing it to kick its legs and scream to death.

It is said that the donkey, who was thirsty for water, saw that the shopkeeper was carrying a bucket of water to feed, and hurriedly put his head into the bucket, and after a few snorts, he sucked the well water in the bucket into his mouth.

But this little water was not enough to quench his thirst, so the donkey withdrew his head from the bucket, turned his head to the well in the courtyard, snorted, shook his bound limbs from side to side, stretched out his bun and tried to reach the well.

Seeing that the donkey wanted to break free and come to the well to drink, the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and pressed the rope that bound the donkey, and at the same time gently stroked the mane on the back of the donkey's neck with his hand, hoping to calm it down.

As soon as he touched it, the shopkeeper immediately found these manes in his hands...... There are quirks!
