Ling'er was relieved, fortunately, someone recognized this sign, and hurriedly said, "Lord Zhizhou, please get up." ”

Zhizhou hurriedly stood up, and only said to him: "The lowly people have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, so the two of you should go into the government to talk." ”

"Hmm." Ling'er and Ah Jue followed Zhizhou, who led the way in front, into the mansion, after all, it was not a place to talk outside, and it was not easy to speak.

After entering, he sat down and poured tea and water, and Ling'er saw that Zhizhou was busy and couldn't figure it out, "Lord Zhizhou, don't be busy yet, we still have something to do here." ”

"Hey, please command." Zhizhou stood still, bowing his head and bowing his waist.

"It's not a big deal, I want Zhizhou to help find two people, these two people were lost in the state capital this week." Ling'er glanced at Ah Jue, and Ah Jue took out the painted portrait.

Zhizhou glanced at the portrait, and there were some notes at the bottom, name, age, characteristics, etc., and after reading it, Zhizhou said: "The villain will send someone to do it." There is something to remind the two, the villain has just come from the countryside, and the plague has broken out in the countryside, should the two of you go first, and when the plague has passed and there is news, the villain will send someone to inform the two? ”

"Isn't the plague in the countryside, the place where the plague is isolated, send a doctor to see, it's important to save people." Ling'er was reluctant to go, because it was estimated that Shigong would not leave, and there was still some distance from the plague.

"In this way, Lord Zhizhou will first go and be busy with the plague, find a few government officials with this painting and inquire around, and each inn will send someone to ask about it. The plague is still the top priority. Ah Jue pulled Ling'er and walked back and said, Zhizhou just came from the countryside, so he can't infect Ling'er.

"Two! How can the villain contact you if he finds out? Zhizhou shouted at them in the house, wondering why he left suddenly.

"We'll be back tomorrow morning!" Ah Jue pulled Ling'er away without looking back.

Ling'er was pulled by him and trotted all the way, and hurriedly asked, "What are you pulling me to run!" I haven't finished speaking. ”

"Didn't you hear that he just came back from the plague! Next time I ask, you are not allowed to go. What do you do with the infection! Ah Jue still pulled her to run, without the slightest intention of stopping.

The two trotted all the way back to the inn, and Shigong also came back from the dock.

"Master, did you ask for any news?" Ling'er saw Shigong coming in and asked anxiously.

"I asked a lot of people, and finally someone said that they had seen the two, and the two went to the post house in his carriage, and he didn't know when he entered the post house, because it seemed that there were a lot of people staying in the inn at that time, and it was not clear whether the post house was full or not." Shi Gong said weakly, "If the house is full, he will go to find other hotels, and he will not follow, Zhouzhou City is so big, and it is only a few steps between the hotel and the post house." ”

"The master is tired, sit down and rest first, and drink saliva." Ah Jue helped his master sit down and poured him another glass of water.

"That's easy, let's inquire one by one, and we will definitely be able to ask. Zhizhou also asked someone to help inquire, and I will go with Ah Jue tomorrow to ask about the situation. Ling'er poured herself a glass of water and took a sip.

"I'll just go tomorrow, don't go, Master, you take Ling'er back, there has been a plague outbreak in the countryside under Zhouzhou City, I'm afraid that if it gets here, you and Ling'er can't be passed on." Ah Jue got up anxious as she spoke.

"Plague, what plague? Tomorrow, I will go to the palace with you to ask, let Ling'er rest here, and the convoy sent by her father should arrive in two days, if not, she will go back to the imperial city for a while. Shi Gong was also a little worried when he heard this.

"Master, there is a plague in the countryside below, and there is no Zhouzhou City, why don't you let me go to anything." Ling'er was a little dissatisfied.

"Can your identity be the same?" Shigong glared at her and continued: "I have encountered a plague before, and I also participated in the prescription of the imperial doctors to prescribe treatment, I don't know what it looks like this time, let's go and ask tomorrow." ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Ah Jue and Shi Gong went to the government to ask about the situation, Zhizhou went to the countryside yesterday and did not come back overnight, and the people below went to ask the portrait before they came to work today, and the two sat in the main hall of the government and waited anxiously.

"Two adults, my family has an explanation, the two of you have come to entertain the good students, drink tea first, I have sent someone to urge the two who asked about the portrait, it is estimated that they will arrive within a quarter of an hour." There is a person who doesn't know how many products there are, and it is estimated that Zhizhou's subordinates are in charge of things.

After a while, two government officials came in, holding portraits, and it seemed that they were talking back and forth, "The two adults, the villains are late, mainly because there are still a few families that have not finished asking, so they are late to come back and talk, hoping to atone for their sins." ”

"The two of you have worked hard, what is the crime, hurry up and talk to my master about the situation, the two who are lost, one is my master's apprentice, and the other is an apprentice." Ah Jue hurriedly answered.

"We have run all over the twenty-eight inns and a post house in Zhouzhou City, and if the little two people who are looking for come out and go back with the shopkeeper, no one has seen these two. It's not a coincidence, I see that the time when the two people written above are here is around the Lantern Festival, there is a lantern festival in Zhouzhou City, the beginning of the tenth year and the end of the eighteenth, these two people come when it is the Lantern Festival, and the major hotels and inns are full...... "The voice of the government is getting smaller and smaller.

"So, you didn't find it?" Shi Gong also asked for some news yesterday, how come there is no news at all. "Forget it, I'll ask one by one."

"Master, don't worry, has the government found anything?" Ah Jue felt that the government had not finished speaking.

"If you want to say that the two of you come to this unfamiliar place and don't have a hotel or inn to live in, will there be any relatives or..."

"Hurry up! Grinding and chirping. "Shi Gong and the others are impatient, these people are really useless in his opinion.

"Or if you go to Fireworks Willow Lane, you can't find out...... After all, there is also a place to live. The government then finished speaking, "This has been more than two months in the past, and I am afraid that Xiao Er will see many people with the store, and it is possible that he can't remember." ”

"You dry eaters!" After speaking, Shigong left in a huff.

"You can check wherever you want, these are two very important people, if you can't find it, you have to drink a pot of it!" After Ah Jue finished saying this, he ran to catch up with his master, and did not forget to turn around and say: "I'll come back tomorrow to ask!" ”

The two returned to the post house and didn't see Ling'er, where did this girl go, Ah Jue went downstairs to Xiao Er, and asked carefully, Xiao Er said that there were too many people during the Lantern Festival, I really can't remember, I may have seen it or I haven't seen it, but the guests who stayed in the hotel have registered in those days, and you have to find the store manager to check.

"I said there was a registration!" Ah Jue's lungs hurt, "Find it for your store manager, I'll ask him." Ah Jue gave Xiao Er some broken silver, and Xiao Er ran away with Xiao Xiao.

After a while, the store manager came over with the booklet of the hotel: "Xiao Er said that you are looking for me, I don't know what the guest officer commands." ”

"Didn't Xiao Er tell you everything?!" Ah Jue saw that he brought a book and sold it, probably asking for money, so he stretched out his hand and gave him some broken silver.

"Lord Guest, I'm not a junior, don't break the silver..."The store manager said with a smile, the smile was really ugly.

"How much does it cost, sell me this book!" Ling'er didn't know when she came over.

"Yo, this girl, it's okay to watch it once, we still have to save it, don't sell it." The store manager felt that this worthless book was suddenly worth a lot, and he thought about the price when he sat on the ground.

"Can you buy a broken book for this thing?" Ling'er took out a small gold ingot and put it on the table.

"Enough, enough, enough." The store manager hurriedly gave the book to Ling'er and stuffed the gold ingots into his sleeves, "Two, the list of guests staying in the inn every day during the Lantern Festival is on this, you take a look." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to leave, let me ask you, are there any such two people who come to stay in the hotel before and after the Lantern Festival, you think about it carefully. Some people say that they have come to the inn, saying that they are full and left, so at least you have seen it. Ling'er still wondered how she hadn't seen it.

"It's impossible to say, if there are too many guests every day, and they are all full, I won't stay here, then only Xiao Er knows." The store manager replied, touching his beard.

"How many juniors are there in total?" Ling'er flipped through the book and looked at it and asked.

"There are nearly ten people in the second child......" the store manager replied.

"Call all the little two who are here now, I want to ask, I won't leave for a few days, and the other little two who come back to work are also called to come to me for questioning first." Ling'er has the smell of a heroine.

"Then ......," the store manager stretched out his hand and asked for silver.

Ling'er wanted to give the silver something, but Ah Jue opened the sword in his hand and blew it: "My sword hasn't been stained with blood yet, some people don't be insatiable." If you go too far, this sword will not be easy to speak. ”

The store manager still didn't understand the reason, bowed his head and bowed his waist, "Yes, yes, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go......" and left.

"Ling'er, where did you go, you just came back!" Ah Jue waited for the store manager to leave, grabbed her hand and asked.

"I'm going to the docks, and you won't let me go to the mansion, I can't stay here and be bored." Ling'er rolled a glance at him.

"You little girl, aren't you worried about you!" Ah Jue nodded her nose, looking like a dog biting Lu Dongbin and not knowing the hearts of good people.

"Now my swordsmanship is also okay, I've learned Chapter 7, you see that I take it with me wherever I go out, don't I look like a woman?" Ling'er happily turned around and let Ah Jue see.

"Like, like." Ah Jue smiled and watched her play treasure.

"Stinky Ah Jue, what do you mean by likeness, I am now!" Ling'er looked at him and looked like he was watching a monkey play treasure, and was angry and wanted to beat him.

"Two guest officers!" The store manager's voice sounded, "The people you want have only come three today, and they are all here." ”

Saying that, the three juniors stood in a row in front of the two.

"Look at this portrait, have you seen it, look closely, before and after the Lantern Festival." Ah Jue gave the portrait to one of them and asked them to look at it together.

"No, no..." all three people shook their heads after reading it.

"Okay, let's go get busy, and when we come back to change shifts, let the little two who I haven't seen go to our room to identify and know which room we are, right? Remember to explain it when you turn over the shift. Ah Jue said and took out some broken silver and gave them some pieces.

The three of them were very happy to take the money, and they reluctantly agreed to go down.

"Let's go, Ling'er, go back to the room." Ah Jue took her back, and this little girl misses her very much when she doesn't see her for a while.

"Did you have any clues that you went to ask in the morning?" Ling'er led him along.

Ah Jue told Ling'er about the situation in the morning.

"Let's go around." Ling'er suggested that you go out for a walk.

"I haven't eaten lunch yet, where are you going?" Ah Jue asked with a frown.

"Shouting that it's going out to eat, I've eaten enough of the food in this inn. went out to the restaurant to inquire, and the two of them had to come out to eat when they came to Zhouzhou City. "Ling'er said that she wanted to go out to eat so reasonably.

Ah Jue smiled when he heard it: "It's rare for someone to say that they want to go to the restaurant so reasonably, fresh and refined." I don't know if the master is willing or not, let's go. ”

The two came to Shigong's room and knocked on the door, but no one paid attention.

"Master!"

"Master!"

Ling'er shouted at the door with Ah Jue.

"The old man who lived here just now went out, didn't you see it?" Xiao Er stepped forward to answer.

"You didn't tell us when you went out." Ling'er looked at Ah Jue.

"That's right for you, why didn't you tell us when you went out in the morning." The grass of Ajue takes the grass of the son and attacks the shield of the son.

"Where am I going to tell you to go, you are all out!" Ling'er defended!

"Neither of us was in the room just now, maybe the master didn't find us and went out?!" Ah Jue used Ling'er's words to fight back against her.

"You man! It's really unreasonable! Ling'er said that she couldn't do it, and she was going to beat him when she came up.

"If you can't say it, you'll hit someone!" Ah Jue flashed, but Ling'er didn't hit it.

"Let's go, go out to dinner, and go around!" Ling'er didn't care about him, turned around and prepared to go downstairs.

"Okay!" Ah Jue stepped forward and took her hand and walked away.

The two inquired about the most distinctive restaurants here, ordered three side dishes, Ah Jue asked for a pot of wine, asked Ling'er for a pot of corn juice, and drank it.

"Well, the characteristics of Zhou Zhou City are quite appetizing." Ling'er ate and drank without delaying her speech.

"Did you say that while eating like this before?" Ah Jue laughed at her.

"How can it, I used to eat alone a lot, no one spoke, and when I ate with my parents, I was not allowed to speak, and I was silent!" Ling'er pouted and was unhappy.

"It has nothing to do with me, you can do whatever you want, I wasn't allowed to talk before, you see, I'm very free with you." Ah Jue also deliberately ate the dish and said.

"Where do you say Shigong can go?" Ling'er suddenly wondered, I've been to the dock or everything, where else can I go.

"I don't know." Ah Jue was also thinking about this.

"Come back and go to Zhizhou tomorrow morning, I'll ask him to send a letter to his parents, tell me about the situation, and ask for help." Ling'er took a sip of corn juice, and suddenly thought of something: "Do you say that you won't be able to find the post house at that time, it just so happened that Shi Mi said that his family had a house here, and his father was also a general before, so it is not surprising that he has a house here." ”

"This may really be there, why don't you ask your father to check it out?" These two people still know that if they don't talk about their father or anything, they are all replaced by their father's parents, and Ah Jue also thought of this possibility.

"Then eat well and go back to write a letter, I'll go to Zhizhou later." Ling'er turned around and asked Xiao Er to serve the staple food, and if she had something to do when she went back after eating, she stopped eating slowly.

"Zhizhou, then I'll go." Ah Jue didn't want Ling'er to touch it yet.

"I said that if I go with you, I won't be infected, and if you are infected, I will be able to run away? That Zhizhou is not stupid, he will definitely have precautions, otherwise he will also get the plague! Ling'er thinks Ah Jue is really stupid.
