Chapter 162: Secretly Looking
When renting the No. 2 shop in the alley of the eaves house, Xiaotang accompanied her own lady to come here, so after buying something, she said hello to the shopkeeper downstairs and went straight upstairs.
It's the rainy season, so there is no one in the store, Xiaotang thinks that Miss should be worried about business, and wants to come and see.
"Miss, I bought you osmanthus cake, and I also bought some fried chestnuts with sugar by the way." Xiaotang said and pushed the door in, but he didn't see his own young lady.
"Miss, miss?" Xiaotang called twice in succession, but no one responded to her.
She muttered, put the things she had bought on the table, and took the door out, room by room.
Downstairs is a large shop, placed with a variety of wooden fans of different sizes, from the upstairs, whether it is the counter or every corner of the room, there is an unobstructed view, downstairs except for two or three guests and the shopkeeper, there is no young lady.
And this second floor is a storage room and a few small bedrooms, at that time, in order to facilitate the rent, Xiaotang searched all the rooms upstairs, but still did not find his own young lady began to panic.
"Shopkeeper, have you ever seen my young lady go out of here?"
"Miss Xiaotang, what are you talking about? Miss Lin just went upstairs with her front foot, why did you come to me with her back foot and ask me if she had gone out from here? ”
"No, my lady is not upstairs."
As soon as he heard this, the shopkeeper moved his eyes from the abacus, and his eyes widened, thinking that Xiaotang was joking with him, "Miss Lin has just gone upstairs, and I have been here, if she goes out, I will definitely see it." ”
"Oh no, miss, where will it go? If the head of the house had known about this, I would have been severely punished. Xiaotang began to cry a little.
"How can a big living person disappear out of thin air? I'll take a look. ”
The shopkeeper saw that Xiaotang was at a loss for what to do, and there were tears in his eyes, and he understood that this was not a joke, but he had some doubts in his heart, so he put down the account book in his hand, went upstairs, and made an appointment for a pillar of incense, and also searched all the rooms upstairs.
"Big Tiger and Second Tiger, have you ever seen Miss Lin?"
The shopkeeper also hurriedly went downstairs, and even his voice trembled a little, this Miss Lin, no, it should be Lord Shuo, but they haven't changed their names yet, and they actually disappeared upstairs, if Yun Fu asks, how should their shop explain? If Miss Lin makes a mistake, I am afraid that the emperor will punish them nine clans.
The big tiger and the tiger both shook their heads, they were the little guys who helped the carpenter master move some wood, and they just sent a few fans before entering the store, where would they see Lin Yue's figure?
Seeing this, Xiaotang was already in tears, completely out of mind, feeling that he had made a big mistake, and he shouldn't have listened to the young lady's words and ran out secretly with her.
"Don't cry, what's the use of crying at this time, your young lady is not in this store, if she is in any danger, we can't get out of it."
The shopkeeper was so anxious, and he couldn't see Xiaotang's crying appearance, which made him a little upset, but after calming down for a while, he summoned all the small servants in the store, including the carpenter master, and then a group of people divided into several intersections to find Lin Yue.
At dinner time, a group of people returned to the store, no one found Lin Yue, Xiaotang knew that the matter could not be hidden, plopped, and knelt on the ground.
"Shopkeeper, you have to help me testify, although I came with my young lady, but I went to buy some osmanthus cake, and then went upstairs Miss is gone, I really don't know where Miss went!"
"Hey, don't make a mess here, let's hurry to the Yun Mansion and tell General Yun, how can a living person disappear out of thin air? There must be something we can't find with these few people, there are so many people under General Yun, let's find your young lady first, it's useless for you to say anything at this time. ”
The shopkeeper didn't have any intention to take care of Xiaotang at this time, and hurriedly walked out with a few little guys, and Xiaotang quickly stood up and ran behind them.
"General, general, miss, she's gone." A group of people were in a hurry, and when they were about to walk to Yunfu, they happened to meet Yun Lanzhi coming back from the barracks. So Xiaotang pounced again and knelt on the ground.
"What do you say? Yue'er is gone? Yun Lanzhi immediately jumped off the horse, came over and grabbed Xiaotang's shoulder and asked.
"Miss...... The young lady is gone. ”
"Don't cry yet, tell me what's going on?"
Xiaotang wiped her tears indiscriminately, her hand was on the ground, and she brought some ash on her face when she wiped her tears, but she couldn't care about these at this time, and told Yunlan what happened one by one.
"What?! Didn't I tell you, take good care of Miss, she is so weak now, how can you still let her out? Hearing that Xiaotang and Lin Yue left the Lin Mansion, Yun Lanzhi remembered his previous instructions, and it seemed that Xiaotang, the maidservant, was not at ease at all, so she was furious.
"No, it's the young lady who said that she wants to eat the osmanthus cake on South Street, and she just went out to relax, I'm ...... I'm ......."
"Enough, you go home first, you can't let grandma know about this, I'll go to the barracks to transfer a few teams of people and search door to door in the city!"
Yun Lanzhi stepped on the horse again, as if he had thought of something, and then said to the shopkeeper, "This matter should not be publicized, the less people know, the better, you go and prepare eighty sets of clothes, just ordinary, wait for me in the shop on South Street, I will bring someone over immediately." ”
After Yun Lanzhi finished speaking, he rode his horse in the direction of the barracks, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly trotted back to the shop on South Street to prepare.
After returning to the barracks, Yun Lanzhi took a few teams, and his trusted men and horses instructed them to bring short blades, and then rushed towards South Street by moonlight.
At this time, it was only an hour before the market closed, and it was the time of the busy farming, and there were not many people on the street. Several well-educated teams of people rushed to the store before the market closed.
After everyone had arrived, the shopkeeper plugged in the door and lit the oil lamp.
Yun Lanzhi opened the picture scroll in his hand, it was a portrait he drew according to Lin Yue's appearance, because of the rush of time, the portrait was a little sloppy, and he looked like Lin Yue was only seven or eight points.
"You remember the person in the portrait, and then a team of twenty people will go to West Street, South Street, North Street, and East Street respectively, from the No. 1 family to the last household, remember, you must not reveal your identity, let alone attract irrelevant attention." Yun Lanzhi passed the portrait in his hand to the first person to the eightieth person, during which he walked in front of one person and one person with an oil lamp in his hand.
"Yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, he said yes, but his voice was very low, and there was no big movement.
