Chapter 123: Missing Suspicions

"That's, Lu Xuan?" Zhao Qingfeng, who happened to pass by, couldn't help but be surprised when he witnessed Lu Xuan being knocked unconscious and taken away.

was about to step forward to stop him, but the lukewarm relationship with Qing Pei recently blinded his righteous heart.

"Forget it, it's better for her to disappear, and it can also make Qingpei die sooner." muttered to himself like this, but Zhao Qingfeng still decided to ignore it.

On the other side, Gu Huanli heard that Lu Xuan was going to investigate the agricultural situation, thinking that the situation here was complicated, and he wanted to go with him, but when he arrived at the county office, he had already disappeared.

"What about the Lu County Order?" Gu Huanli asked about the arrester who stayed in the county office.

Catch quickly responded: "Back to Your Highness, Lord Lu has gone to the village to inspect the agricultural situation." ”

"When did you go?" Gu Huanli asked, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.

Being asked like this, Yu Kuai felt a little puzzled: "Lord Lu has been here for several hours, and there are not many farmers here, so it stands to reason that it shouldn't take so long." ”

Hearing what the arrester said, Gu Huanli couldn't help but be a little worried: "But someone followed Lu County's order to go with him?" ”

Catch quickly nodded: "Lord Lu didn't want to disturb the people, so he only brought one brother with him, and he has not returned yet." ”

Gu Huanli couldn't help but feel a burst of worry in his heart: Could it be that he was in trouble again?

Thinking about it like this, it was too late to consider whether it was just his own care, Gu Huanli immediately said to Qin Wei: "Take someone to find the Lu County Order, and report back immediately if there is a situation." ”

Qin Wei received the order, and immediately led people to the field to find Lu Xuan's traces.

At the same time, Zhao Qingfeng had already returned home full of contradictions.

At that time, Qing Pei had just learned a few simple dishes.

During this time, although Qingpei was very estranged from Zhao Qingfeng in the matter of husband and wife, he could be regarded as a competent wife in addition to this matter, and he served him very well in terms of daily life.

Although Zhao Qingfeng has a grudge, he will smile from the bottom of his heart whenever he sees Qingpei taking care of him.

Today is different, seeing Zhao Qingfeng coming back, Qing Pei hurriedly brought the freshly cooked food to him: "This is what I just made, I don't know if the taste is suitable for your appetite." ”

Qing Pei looked at Zhao Qingfeng intently when he said this, and there was even a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Zhao Qingfeng didn't react at all, just looked preoccupied.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao?" Qing Pei called Zhao Qingfeng twice before he came back to his senses, but she was puzzled: "What's wrong with you today, why are you absent-minded, but what happened?" ”

Zhao Qingfeng shook his head: "It's nothing, let's eat." ”

Qingpei didn't believe it, Zhao Qingfeng's abnormal expression told her that he definitely had something to hide from her.

But seeing that Zhao Qingfeng refused to say, Qing Pei was afraid that it would be fruitless to continue to ask questions like this, so she simply pretended to eat with him calmly, so that he could slowly relax his vigilance.

After a while, seeing that Zhao Qingfeng finally lost Fang Cai's sad face, Qing Pei asked tentatively: "Where did Brother Zhao go, I have been looking for you for a long time." ”

Zhao Qingfeng didn't think much about it, and immediately responded that he had gone to the field to visit his old relatives.

This made Qing Pei even more suspicious, what could it happen to visit an old farmer that made Zhao Qingfeng lose his soul so much?

Qing Pei then asked, "Then who did Brother Zhao meet on the road?" ”

It's okay not to ask, but as soon as he asked, the chopsticks in Zhao Qingfeng's hand slipped instantly, accompanied by a crisp cracking sound, and half of Qingpei's hard work in the morning was ruined.

Zhao Qingfeng came back to his senses at this time, but maybe he was shocked by the sound of his rice bowl being broken, or what Qing Pei asked, he shook his head and denied without thinking about it: "I didn't see anything." ”

But such a reaction is simply that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, if he really didn't see anything, why should he be so alarmed?

Seeing this, Qing Pei immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and his face became solemn: "Brother Zhao I know never lies, Brother Zhao, tell me the truth, what did you see?" ”

Seeing that Pei was full of seriousness, Zhao Qingfeng finally couldn't fight the conscience in his heart: "It's Lu Xuan, she ......"

Zhao Qingfeng was hesitant, but Qing Pei was the opposite, as soon as she heard Lu Xuan's name, she was so excited that she stood up instantly: "What's wrong with Lord Lu?" ”

If Zhao Qingfeng remembered correctly, this was the first time he had seen Qing Pei so fierce, and he couldn't help but be annoyed and sad in his heart.

The words that were originally halfway through were swallowed back by Zhao Qingfeng, and he got up and stood in front of Qing Pei: "Are you worried about her?" ”

Qing Pei was stunned and hesitated for a moment before responding: "Lord Lu is a benefactor to me, if something happens to her, I will naturally be concerned." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Qingfeng couldn't help but snort coldly: "You are frank." ”

Qing Pei didn't pay attention to the reason for Zhao Qingfeng's inexplicable expression, and only continued to ask himself: "What happened to Lord Lu, what did you say!" ”

Seeing that his wife who was marrying was worried about another "man", Zhao Qingfeng couldn't help but feel that all his cover-ups were very sad.

Only then did he finally tell the truth: "When I returned, I saw that someone knocked Lu Xuan unconscious and took him away. ”

"What?" Hearing this, Qing Pei suddenly became anxious: "Then why don't you save the adult?" ”

Zhao Qingfeng also asked himself this question repeatedly in his heart, why he claimed to be righteous but could not save his former friends from death.

At that time, self-blame and guilt had already overshadowed the jealousy in Zhao Qingfeng's heart, and coupled with Qingpei's questioning, he didn't want her to discover her ugly side.

So Zhao Qingfeng had no choice but to lower his head and sigh: "That group of people is far away from me, when I see it clearly, Lord Lu has already been taken away by them, there are many of them and they have swords, I'm afraid I'm not an opponent." ”

Zhao Qingfeng's kung fu Qingpei knew it, if it weren't for the fact that she was concerned about Lu Xuan's safety at this time and had no energy to speculate about the things around her, she would definitely be able to see through Zhao Qingfeng's nonsense at a glance.

Qingpei couldn't help but fall into a panic, and Zhao Qingfeng immediately took advantage of the situation and said: "I don't tell you just I don't want you to worry about it......"

Before Zhao Qingfeng could finish speaking, Qing Pei was already in a big mess: "How can I not worry, Lord Lu's martial arts are not proficient, if those people are not good for her...... No, I'm going to save her. ”

Qingpei was about to go out as she spoke, but Zhao Qingfeng hurriedly stopped her: "How can you save people without the power to restrain the chicken?" Now I don't even know who her captor is! ”

What Zhao Qingfeng said was reasonable, and Qing Pei stopped at this time, but her worries about Lu Xuan told her that she must not sit still.

In a hurry, Qing Pei finally thought of someone: "I know, there is a person who will definitely find an adult." ”

After that, he didn't explain the second half of the sentence to Zhao Qingfeng, and Qing Pei had already rushed out of the door in a panic.

Zhao Qingfeng stood alone, jealousy and annoyance intertwined in his mind, causing him to have a splitting headache.

At that time, Qin Wei brought the people who were looking for Lu Xuan to report that there was no trace of Lu Xuan in the field, and Gu Huanli suddenly panicked.

"Your Highness, my subordinates have asked the people in the fields, and according to an old man, Lord Lu left early in the morning." Qin Xiao said.

Leaving early in the morning but not returning yet, Gu Huanli suddenly became more worried about whether Lu Xuan had encountered an accident.

He was anxiously preparing to arrange people to search everywhere, and Qing Pei also rushed to the county office in a panic.

"My lord, Lord Lu, Lord Lu, she ......" Qing Pei walked all the way, and at this time, he saw Gu Huanli still looking out of breath and embarrassed.

Hearing Qing Pei mention Lu Xuan, Gu Huanli immediately stepped forward: "Have you seen her?" Where is she? ”

Qing Pei breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly responded: "Lord Lu was knocked unconscious and kidnapped. ”

"What?" Gu Huanli was shocked when he heard this, the situation he was most worried about really came.

He hurriedly asked Qing Pei if he knew who Lu Xuan was kidnapped and where he was kidnapped, but Qing Pei didn't know anything, only that the other party was too powerful and asked Gu Huanli to be very careful.

Gu Huanli has great powers, so where can he worry about this? Hearing that the other party was overwhelmed, the only thing he was worried about in his heart must be Lu Xuan's safety.

There was no time to hesitate, Gu Huanli immediately dispatched all his subordinates and used all methods to find Lu Xuan, and he personally went to the field where Lu Xuan had visited to inquire about the situation.

Qingpei was relieved not to follow him all the way, and Zhao Qingfeng also followed him out of apology.

It's just that the disappearance of the county order must not be asked in a big way, and Gu Huanli and the others can only secretly listen.

Xu is Lu Xuan's generous commitment in the field today is really inspiring, and a few farmers are talking about it at this time-

"Hey, do you think that new county magistrate is really capable of seeking justice for us?" One of the aunts seemed to have a lot of hope for the matter.

Another uncle disagreed: "I don't think so, how many years has the village chief been rampant and domineering, with her newly appointed county order, her figure is so thin, where is the opponent of the village chief?" I'm still resigned to my fate. ”

The eldest aunt who said this lost confidence in Lu Xuan for a while, and then sighed: "That's right, after all, the village chief's methods, I'm afraid that the new county commander will have to suffer a few losses!" ”

With that, the two of them immediately buried their heads in despair and began to do farm work.

It's just that what they just said was heard clearly by the three people here.

"The village chief?" Gu Huanli couldn't help but fall into deep thought when he heard this.

He already suspected that Lu Xuan's sudden abduction was related to today's investigation of the agricultural situation, and at this moment, listening to the meaning of these people, the village chief seemed to be a little tired.

"Could it be that the village chief did something unseemly and was worried that the adults would find out, so he kidnapped the adults with this ruthless hand?" Qing Pei also thought of this.

Although Gu Huanli didn't respond, he walked straight towards the peasants.

"Here is a distant relative of the head of this village, when I first arrived here, I wonder if you know where the village chief lives?" Gu Huanli was obviously suspicious of the village chief, and when he came up, he pretended to ask where his address was.

The peasant was a simple and helpful man, and when he saw someone asking, he showed him the way without saying a word.

After getting the news, Gu Huanli immediately walked towards the village chief's courtyard, followed by Qing Pei and Zhao Qingfeng.
