Lin County is hundreds of miles away from Liangzhou, and there are many forks in the roads in various villages and towns, and it is difficult to determine what went wrong for a while. Xu Mingliang has already sent a notice to the Liangzhou government to investigate and wants to know the situation over there.

Lu Tingxiu thought for a moment and ordered: "You send someone to check all the roads from Linxian to Liangzhou, and ask the hotels, stalls or villagers along the way to see if anything unusual has happened during this time." In addition, you may find people who often travel back and forth to Liangzhou, and you may be rewarded. ”

Xu Mingliang took the order to leave.

Lu Tingxiu looked at the hot rice, and he had no appetite at all. I am afraid that this disappearance case is not simple. Xia Chubby's dream may have come true.

Washington.

The new butler looked like he was in a hurry, and hurried to the study.

A hurried knock sounded on the door, and Hua Feng, who had a serious face, put down the pen in his hand, "Come in." ”

The newcomer is not on the road, he has made the study not to be disturbed, but he doesn't even have the strength to see it.

When the door opened, the richest man looked rich and smiled, "What's the matter?" ”

The housekeeper was so anxious that he wiped his sweat, "Master, the government has issued a notice to assist in the investigation, saying that people have disappeared in Lin County one after another recently. ”

Hua Feng suppressed his displeasure, "Something to do with my Hua family?" ”

"Some time ago, a letter came from the shop in Liangzhou, saying that the young master had not arrived overdue. The little one couldn't rest assured, and kept in touch with that side, but just received the news again, but the young master still hasn't arrived. The housekeeper quietly glanced at Hua Feng and whispered: "Isn't this just a notice from the government, I'm worried that the young master will make a mistake on the road, so I specially came to ask the master for his life, do you want to send someone out to find it?" ”

When it came to Hua Ling, Hua Feng was angry, "That stinky boy is idle all day long, and he doesn't know where to play with Jinhua, what is there to worry about." ”

"But these days, Jinhua's letter has also been broken."

"Jinhua's martial arts are not bad, ordinary bandits can't get close at all." Hua Feng didn't care at all, and waved his hand: "You go down first, that stinky boy will be in Liangzhou in a few days." ”

After the master's words, the housekeeper was relieved, or maybe he was really worried.

As soon as the housekeeper left, Hua Feng's face suddenly sank. Where did this king die? If I knew that he was like this, he should have been strangled to death when he was born.

Hua Feng couldn't sit still, burned the half-written letter, and hurried out.

The eyelids kept beating.

Xu Mingliang did not return, the yamen happened to have nothing important, and the restless Lu Tingxiu returned home early.

As soon as he arrived at the house, he bumped into Wu Ze head-on.

When he met Master Guan, Wu Ze hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Lord Lu." ”

Lu Tingxiu asked, "Are you looking for Xia Qiu?" ”

Afraid that he would misunderstand, Wu Ze hurriedly explained: "I just came back from Liangzhou to talk about business, and I came here to let the Xia Dongjia take an idea." ”

Liangzhou? Lu Tingxiu frowned slightly, "I haven't seen you for a while, when did you come back?" ”

Wu Ze was cautious, "I just arrived today." ”

"If I remember correctly, you used to go to Liangzhou to help Xia Qiu buy food and medicinal herbs." Lu Tingxiu's words changed, "I don't know what is the difference between this trip and the previous one?" ”

Wu Ze was puzzled.

"This official has received a report that some people have disappeared one after another recently. What is certain is that people have set off from Liangzhou but have not returned to Lin County, and you just happened to come back from Liangzhou, so I want to know about it. ”

Missing? Wu Ze blurted out, "Is it a child?" "Isn't it like his brother, trafficked by traffickers.

"Men and women, young and old."

Wu Ze realized the seriousness at this time, and couldn't help but think of what Xia Qiu said before. Is it really coming?

He carefully recalled the journey to and from Liangzhou, and shook his head for a long time before he said, "It seems to be the same as before, there is no special place." ”

"If you think of anything, remember to come to the government."

Wu Ze nodded and turned to leave.

Lu Tingxiu looked at the back of him leaving, restrained the impulse in his heart, and never said the words to the corner of his mouth.

He looked up at the plaque in front of the house and stepped in with his legs raised......

"Lord Lu."

"Lord Lu."

Two voices rang out at the same time.

Wu Ze suddenly stopped, turned around and walked towards him, "I have something to tell you." ”

In the courtyard of the house, Qiao Feng walked towards Lu Tingxiu with a delicate face, "Yo, it's rare for you to come back so early." ”

Wu Ze and Qiao Fengwei collided at the door, Qiao Fengwei's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he covered it up well, "Brother Wu, you are still there." ”

"Lord Ganglu asked me something, and I just remembered it."

"Come into the house and talk about it." Lu Tingxiu opened the courtyard door.

"No, no, no." Wu Ze hurriedly stopped. It is related to the government's handling of the case, and with Qiao Fengwei here, he doesn't know whether to say it or not.

Lu Tingxiu saw his concerns, "Let's say, there are no outsiders here." ”

Wu Ze was relieved, "At the junction of Liangzhou and Lin County, there is a tea stall for passers-by to rest. I remember not having it before I went, but it was there when I came back, and there were quite a few people. Other than that, there doesn't seem to be anything different along the way. ”

At the junction of the two places, there are more than ten miles away from Liangzhou City, which is a good place to rest.

"Is there anything unusual about that tea stall?"

Wu Ze shook his head, "I was in a hurry, I just glanced at it in a hurry, and I didn't stop to rest. ”

Sending Wu Ze away, Qiao Fengwei closed the courtyard door, "Did the Feng family make it out there?" ”

"It's just speculation, no evidence."

"Behind Liangzhou is a hundred thousand deep mountains." Qiao Fengwei said with a stern expression: "If they dare to rob people so blatantly, they must have concocted a puppet corpse." ”

"Don't worry, it doesn't have to be them." Lu Tingxiu comforted her and called out Wei Ge, "You go right away to see if the herbal tea stall is still there?" ”

Wei Ge took the order and left quickly.

Lu Tingxiu couldn't sit still, turned around and went back to the yamen.

Sending him away, Qiao Fengwei's blood was lost. The fear of being dominated by the Feng family for fifteen years has already penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and it cannot be changed overnight.

The Feng family has either developed a method, or they are ready to wait for her to be captured. No, she doesn't want to go back, she doesn't want to die!

Everything she has now, no one will be allowed to snatch it.

After dinner, Lu Tingxiu was just about to take a bath and rest, when Qiao Fengwei knocked on the door with Xiao Shao.

The anonymous letter appeared again, which was found by Xiao Shaolin when she checked the front and back courtyard doors before going to bed, and was caught in the crack of the door.

Retreating from the small peony, Lu Tingxiu tore open the envelope, and inside was a map, an intricate mountain, with a steep mountain drop of up to thousands of zhang, a natural barrier with a river valley bend, a poisonous insect forest, a fierce beast valley, a purple poisonous mist, and all kinds of traps.

"It can't be the map of the Feng family, right?"

Lu Tingxiu pondered several times, "Maybe." ”

"Could it be that Qiao Fengwei is really not dead?"

In the case of the bones in Xiajia Village, no conclusive evidence has been found to prove that the deceased is Qiao Fengwei, and the case has been shelved.

Lu Tingxiu frowned, "If Qiao Fengwei is not dead, why do you have to take out the map at this time?" ”

"Or did she realize that the disappearance was related to the Feng family?"

"It could also be a decoy." Lu Tingxiu spread the map on the table, "Except for Qiao Fengwei, no one knows the authenticity of this map." It may be that she did it, or it may be that the Feng family wants to rebel against the army, and they have to think carefully about their talents, and they can't act rashly. ”

"But what if it's true?" Qiao Fengwei picked up the map and pondered it carefully, "If you hesitate, won't you miss a great opportunity." ”
