Chapter 074: Strange
Eat dry and wipe clean...... Bai Yunshu hadn't heard of this word, but her perception told her that it must not be a good word.
Her face was white and red, red and white, and the corners of her lips were about to be bitten by her. Seeing that Gu Changfeng was about to bring Yan Suwen to the guest room, Bai Yunshu gritted his teeth, not caring about the demeanor and posture that everyone should have, and directly grabbed Yan Suwen's arm with his hand.
"It's still early, why don't Yun Shu accompany Miss Yan for a while."
"Is it still early?" Yan Suwen yawned.
She swore that she didn't mean to, but that she had been bumpy all the way, and at this hour, she was really a little sleepy.
"Time ......" Bai Yunshu looked embarrassed: "Miss Yan, are you sleepy?" Why don't you play a song for you first to relieve your fatigue? ”
"Fatigue?" Yan Suwen blinked: "No need, I sleep, I don't need piano accompaniment." ”
"Yun Shu." Gu Changfeng's face was cold: "Su Wen said that she was sleepy." ”
"But Yun Shu is not sleepy."
"You're not sleepy, you can go back to the pavilion and play the piano."
"Brother Yanqing."
"Yunfei, send Yunshu back."
"Yes, sir!" Yun Fei nodded, and then made a gesture of please: "Miss, please." ”
"Brother Yanqing." Bai Yunshu called unrelentingly.
"It's useless, our grandfather is soft on his wife." Gu Yunfei made a gesture of invitation again: "The eldest lady is famous in Yecheng, if the eldest lady stops the lady from resting, I am afraid that I will be angry." ”
"But—" Bai Yunshu stomped his foot regardless of his image.
"The master is a person with a marriage contract, so why bother the eldest lady. Please, if you stay any longer, our grandfather will really be angry. ”
Bai Yunshu didn't dare to provoke Gu Changfeng to get angry, even if he was reluctant in his heart, he could only turn around.
"This Miss Yan looks very ordinary, how could Brother Yan Qing like her?"
Yan Su asked ordinary?
This is something that only people who don't know her can say.
Thinking of the scene where she tortured Kuhe in the prison of the Criminal Department, and thinking of the things she did in the secret room of Shili Pu Jinniang, Gu Yunfei shook his head first.
The lady chosen by his grandfather is not ordinary at all.
"Let me ask you, why does Brother Yanqing like her?"
"This ......" Gu Yunfei looked up at the moon in the sky and replied: "This, it is probably what people often say is in the eyes of a lover." ”
"Lover? Shih Tzu? Bai Yunshu twisted his handkerchief: "She has an ordinary appearance, where will she become Xi Shi." ”
"Whether this woman is beautiful or not, it is not the image in the eyes of the woman next to her, but the image in the eyes of the person she likes. Miss Bai thinks that my wife is ordinary, but in the eyes of my family, my wife is unparalleled in the world. ”
"Brother Yanqing, that's blind." After Bai Yunshu finished speaking, he quickly covered his mouth and nose: "No, I mean, Brother Yanqing must have been confused by her." ”
"Even if you are confused, our father is willing to do it himself, Miss Bai, you don't have to work hard."
"Humph!" Bai Yunshu bit his lip and stomped his foot twice.
Gu Yunfei heard the soft snort and shook his head. The heart said, what is the use of a light person being good-looking, and his temperament is no different from those boudoir ladies in Yecheng. His grandfather, since he was fourteen years old, has seen everything like this, and it is strange that he can treat him differently.
Yan Su asked this sleep until the sun was up.
Turning over, she saw the sunshine shining all over the ground, and she had to get up. After a simple freshening up, she hurriedly walked out of the guest room, and as soon as she stepped on the green bricks outside, she heard someone say in a loud voice: "May I ask the second lady of the Yan family in Yecheng?" ”
Yan Su was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
"I am, may I ask you ......?"
Although it was late at night last year, Yan Suwen still paid attention to it. The people of the White Mansion, whether they are small maids or maids, are different from other mansions, and they all have a martial arts foundation. The questioner in front of him was dressed as an official, although he had a long beard, he was angry with a book, and he looked like a literati.
"It was Xiangye who asked the little one to wait here." The interrogator handed over the name post, which turned out to be the master of the official mansion here, also called the doorman.
The doorman's surname is Cui, and his name is Cui You'an.
"Where did you go?"
"Back to Miss, Xiangye got up early in the morning and went to the Yanei, because there were some files to read, worried that Miss would wake up and not see him, so he came to wait with the order. When the young lady wakes up, he will take the young lady over. Miss, this way, please. ”
"Your Excellency went early in the morning? But what's the matter? ”
"It's important, it's not the top important, it's just ......" Cui Youan just replied half a sentence, heard footsteps, looked back, and saw that it was a subordinate from Baifu, so he gave Yan Su a look: "Miss will know when she goes." ”
"Please lead the way, sir."
Cui Youan bowed down, took half a step back, and saw that Yan Suwen insisted on not going forward, so he took a step ahead of himself, and led Yan Suwen out of the house. When he staggered past the Baifu maid, Yan Suwen noticed that there was a dandelion embroidered on the placket of the Baifu maid. Because the uniform of the white maid is uniformly white, and the silk thread used to embroider dandelions is also white, if you don't look carefully, you can hardly see it clearly.
"I heard from adults, this Bai family is a martial arts family?"
"Yes! The current head of the family is also the sect leader of the martial arts sect. Cui You'an nodded: "We don't know very well about this martial arts thing, we only know that the current head of the Bai family has a very high martial arts, and there are few opponents in the rivers and lakes." ”
"Then, did the adult's martial arts learn from the Bai family?"
"I don't know about this little one, but I heard that Xiangye lived in Baifu for a period of time when he was young. Xiangye has both civil and military skills, and he may have been guided by the head of the Bai family when he was a child. ”
"Sir seems to be well aware of the affairs of adults." Yan Su asked and chatted casually: "My lord, do you often come to Rongcheng?" ”
"Not often." Cui Youan smiled with him: "Although I don't know that this Xiangye is in charge of those things, but just by watching our master busy all day long, I know that Xiangye must be even more idle." This Rongcheng is not a critical place, so Xiang Ye also asked about the situation here when he came to visit the head of the Bai family during the New Year's holidays. ”
"That means that everything is fine in Rongcheng, and there is no need for adults to worry about it."
"The people of this city are simple, and over the years, they have indeed lived very peacefully, but they are just ......"
"Just what?"
"It's just that in the past two years, some things have not been peaceful, and some strange things have happened."
"What's the strange thing?"
"There are children and girls missing."
"Children and girls missing?" Yan Suwen's brows furrowed.
"It's not unusual for this child to go missing. Children, there are always naughty times, and there have been a lot of them before, but most of them have been recovered. In the past two years, the lost children have not been heard from, or even traced. ”
"What do you mean, sir?"
"Take, for example, the child who recently disappeared. The child's surname is Chen, because he has not yet entered school, he only takes a nickname called Chen Amao. Chen Amao's family background is average, Amao Niang lives by making pulp washing for people, and Amao's father is a fortune teller. Chen Amao has been playing at his father's fortune-telling stall since he was a child, and almost everyone in Rongcheng knows this child. Oh, Chen Amao has very little hair, just a few on his head, and that's how his name comes from.
Chen Amao is five years old this year, a child of this age is already sensible, and it is said that he should not be lost, but he was lost, and he was lost when he was asleep at home. ”
"Lost while asleep at home? Could it be hysteria? ”
"Hysteria?"
Cui Youan pondered these two words for a moment and shook his head.
"It shouldn't be, I've never heard that this Chen Amao is sick. On the day of Chen Amao's disappearance, her mother went to the river to wash clothes. There is a small river in the middle of our city, which is a branch of the moat, and Chen Amao's home is on the edge of the river, not far away. His father, as usual, told fortunes on the street. Chen Amao was a little uncomfortable that day, but it was either hysteria, or a cool breeze, some cold, took the decoction, and fell asleep in a daze.
When Ah Mao Niang went out to wash clothes, Chen Ah Mao was still lying on the bed and falling asleep, that is, after washing two or three pieces of clothes, when she came home, she found that the quilt was lifted and Chen Ah Mao was gone.
Ah Mao Niang didn't go to her heart at first, because Chen Ah Mao often went to find his father, but when it was dark and Ah Mao's father came back from collecting the stall, Ah Mao Niang asked and knew that the child was gone.
Ah Mao Niang went to the quilt and found that Chen Ah Mao's shoes were still at the foot of the bed. If this Chen Amao went out by herself, she would definitely not be barefoot, and her mother was washing clothes not far from home, if Chen Amao woke up and called his mother, Amao Niang would not be unable to hear it, right? But after Ah Mao's careful recollection, I didn't hear Chen Ah Mao shouting at her that day. ”
"Did Ah Mao Niang lock the door when she went out?"
"This is the strange thing." Cui You'an sighed: "According to Ah Mao's memories afterwards, she was locked from the outside when she went out that day, which also confirmed that Chen Amao was absolutely impossible to leave by himself, but someone opened the door lock from the outside." After going to investigate in the yamen, he also found the footprints of outsiders, which showed that Chen Amao was taken away. ”
"Have you inquired about it? Is it an enemy, or is it a contradictory person? ”
"I checked, but I found nothing." Cui You'an sighed again: "The Chen family has a small population, and the relationship is simple. Chen Amao's father and mother are all generous people, although his father is a fortune teller, but he has always been not allowed to give money, and he is not satisfied with money. Because he is literate and hyphenated, he often helps people write letters, and he is a very good person in the mouth of his neighbors. It is also impossible for such a person to have a grudge against others. ”
"Is it a kidnapping?"
"I thought about it, but the Chen family is not a rich family, and since Chen Amao disappeared, the Chen family has not received any blackmail letters or messages."
"Then this case is indeed a bit strange."
