Chapter 188: Step by step
As soon as Xia Chutao's words came out, Manchun on the side immediately changed his face. The matter is related to Fu Rin, and it is impossible for Man Chun not to care.
"Is that true?"
Sure enough, Man Chun immediately asked nervously.
"Although I don't know if it's true or not, this is what Bai Ling said to me personally. The two of them were so close before, and they had more or less talked about some of their own things in private. ”
"At that time, when Bai Ling said these words, he was almost out of breath, as the saying goes, people who are dying are also good at their words, I don't think it is possible for Bai Ling to deceive me with this matter."
Seeing that Man Chun still had an expression of disbelief, Xia Chutao continued.
"What's more, such a thing, whether it is true or false, should be guarded against. You and I both know that Yin Niang has a lot of eyes. ”
Man Chun nodded when he heard this,
"Yes, what you said is very reasonable, it is related to the safety of the general, and it is indeed impossible to be careless."
"I called one of my servants to investigate Yin Niang's details, and he has some information traffickers who are good at grasping clues."
"They have been investigating for a long time in the small mountain village where Yin Niang came, although there is nothing special, but there are still some things that are not right."
The more Xia Chutao said this, the more worried Manchun became.
"I'm very worried about who Yin Niang is the spy who specially planted it in the General's Mansion, and what action will be taken against the General when the time comes."
"So I think the most important thing now is for you to send some people to investigate her again."
Man Chun felt that Xia Chu Tao was very thoughtful,
"If you hadn't told me about it, it would have been seamless, and I wouldn't have noticed anything."
"After all, Yin Niang has indeed not taken any action so far."
That being said, the worry in Xia Chu's heart was not less than a cent.
"It's better to be careful in everything, I'm afraid it's fast."
"This woman's stay in the General's Mansion is indeed a disaster."
Man Chun narrowed his eyes,
"Don't worry, I'll call someone to do it right away."
"Well, that's good."
But Xia Chutao's heart is still more worried about Cuijuan, although she knows that the outcome of this matter may not be good at all, but she still hopes that Cuijuan can have a trace of vitality.
"The most important thing now is to ask someone to find all corners of the General's Mansion, it is impossible for a person to disappear in the General's Mansion for no reason."
Xia Chutao paused, and continued,
"I think the most necessary place to find is the various wells in the General's Palace."
Man Chun's face changed, and just talking about such a thing in the cold winter wax moon made people feel cold on their backs.
"Little Peach is very familiar with this modus operandi."
"Wells are the easiest place to hide bodies, and they are not easy to find."
"I think Little Tao'er already knows the truth of the matter."
"Okay."
Man Chun's face was a little frightened, if Yin Niang really did this kind of thing, she really didn't know what kind of person she was facing.
Even after Manchun left, Xia Chutao didn't feel how relaxed he was.
She felt a chill, just like that, with the cold wind of winter, scurrying around her limbs, and finally he couldn't help but shiver.
……
When Xia Chutao returned to Shenlian Pavilion, he did find that Bizhu and Qiaoyun had also returned together.
"Why did the little lady come back at this time? Hasn't the general's side been talking about things for a long time? ”
"Bizhu and I can't wait, and we're going to go out to find you."
Qiaoyun saw Xia Chutao dragging his tired steps back, and hurriedly came out of the door.
"After the general left, Madame left me alone to say something."
Xia Chutao laughed helplessly.
"It's more or less about children, and I want to know how my physical condition has been in the recent past."
Qiaoyun helped Xia Chutao into the house, and the two maids had already intimately lit a charcoal fire in the house, so the moment she entered the door, Xia Chutao felt as if she had come to life, and her body began to warm up.
As soon as she walked into the door, the cloak on her body was heavy, and Bizhu immediately stepped forward to wait for Xia Chutao to take off the cloak, and said with a chatter in her mouth.
"I want to see that Mrs. really cares about Xiao Niang, since she was pregnant and sick, she has been taking care of Xiao Niang in all aspects, and she is as meticulous as a hair, and she wants the best in everything."
"During this time, Mrs. followed the general in Huguo Temple, but I am afraid that I don't worry about your belly."
The cloak had just been taken off, and Qiaoyun immediately stuffed a soup woman into Xia Chutao's hand.
Xia Chutao only felt that the body temperature on his body was slowly coming back, and he really felt that his body was stiff when he came back just now.
"In the end, this is also the child in the belly of the little lady, who doesn't know that the general in the general's mansion loves our little lady the most. Isn't it obvious how important this kid is to the general? ”
Qiao Yun said as she helped Xia Chutao to sit down on the soft couch.
Xia Chutao glanced at the two maids around him, and he was the only one who walked with Fu Rin at that time, when did these two girls also return to the General's Mansion.
"When did you two come back? If you come back, what will happen to the village? ”
Qiaoyun and Bizhu glanced at each other, and said to Xia Chutao with a smile,
"Xiao Niang also said that after the general took Xiao Niang away that day, he immediately sent someone to call me back with Bizhu."
"Xiaoniang, rest assured, the general has lifted Dr. Wei Qi's grounding, and the affairs of the village have been handed over to Dr. Wei Qi."
Xia Chutao heard Qiaoyun say this, and a big stone in her heart fell to the ground.
"That's good......"
"I don't know why, tonight's general's mansion is very noisy, it seems that someone is looking for something outside."
Bizhu, who poured the tea, looked out as she spoke. From time to time, people passed by with lanterns, and the sparks of the lanterns flashed red on the window paper, and from time to time the sound of footsteps could be heard outside the window.
Bizhu had never seen such a movement in the General's Mansion so late, and she was really curious in her heart, and she couldn't help but ask the early summer peach in front of her.
"What are you looking for this big night? Did you know anything on the way back?? ”
Xia Chutao's eyes darkened when she heard this, and she took the tea that Bizhu was holding in her hand.
"Cuijuan is gone."
Bizhu was stunned after hearing this, and then glanced at Qiaoyun beside her, and the faces of both of them became ugly.
"When did you not see you?"
Bizhu still remembers that when she left the General's Mansion, Cuijuan was fine, why is she missing now?
"I don't know, I didn't know about it until I returned to the General's Mansion. Fusheng, who was next to General Jinzhai, said that the person had been missing for a few days. ”
Saying that, Xia Chutao's eyes drooped, and some sadness slowly appeared in his eyes.
"I'm afraid that during the time we were not in the General's Mansion, Yin Niang did something to her. Otherwise, why could a good person disappear into the General's Mansion for no reason, and he couldn't even see a single figure? ”
Bizhu was originally the most timid one, and the more she heard Xia Chutao say this, the more she felt extremely frightened.
"If that's really the case, Yin Niang is too terrifying......"
For example, she suddenly began to be glad that she had been accused of coming to Shenlian Pavilion to serve Xia Chutao from the beginning, she couldn't believe that if she stayed by someone like Yin Niang, she might not know how she would die in the end.
"Xiao Niang, are you worried that Yin Niang will kill Cuijuan?"
Qiao Yun asked cautiously on the side, but just hearing such a sentence, Xia Chutao felt that it was a headache,
She really felt that she didn't have a few days of peace in this general's uniform, and such things were endlessly around her, and she didn't know when she would be able to stop a little.
Thinking that Xia Chutao had some helplessness to help her head that was hurting, she only felt that her temples were only aching suddenly.
"Little lady, let's leave this matter alone, it's finally back, let's rest for a while. Xiao Niang has been busy there for a while, and she didn't bother to rest. ”
Qiao Yun said this, Xia Chutao really felt that his body was really tired.
"I can lie on this soft collapse for a while, and I don't dare to sleep casually until I find Cuijuan."
"You two also go out and keep an eye on those who are looking for Cuijuan, we are not in the talisman during this time, those people are clean hands and feet, those people are under Yin Niang's hands, we don't know all of them."
"The maid understands, and the little lady will leave this matter to the maid to do."
Qiaoyun knew that it was better to do these things by herself, not to mention that Bizhu on the side was already so frightened that she couldn't say anything, Xia Chutao felt that it was really difficult to count on her in this matter.
So she said to Bizhu on the side,
"You wait for the good little lady to rest, and I'll go out to see what's going on."
“…… Good. ”
Bizhu nodded, and after watching Xia Chutao lie on the soft collapse, she immediately took the carbon fire on one side closer.
It hasn't snowed in the past few days, but it's very cold, if you don't push the carbon-boron closer, I'm afraid that the peach will be stiff after lying on the soft collapse for a long time in early summer.
"The charcoal basin is placed like this, and the little lady's body can be warmer. Xiao Liang took advantage of this time to get a good night's sleep, and maybe there would be news when he woke up. ”
"Hmmm......"
Xia Chutao's heart was really messy because of this incident, but because of the warmth around her, she quickly fell asleep.
