Chu Yuqin was lying on the bed, obviously too tired to work, but he couldn't sleep.

In order to catch Chu Jiang tonight, it is now past three o'clock in the morning. There wasn't much time until dawn.

She knew that many people would not be able to sleep tonight, especially those who had lost the girl, including Xiaoyu.

My daughters are gone, and if I can still sleep like this, I'm afraid I don't really care about my daughter.

After tossing and turning for a long time, I still didn't feel sleepy, so I just got up and sorted out the things in the store.

After this matter is resolved, the store will be opened. She didn't want to look for any more auspicious days for the zodiac. Every time you look for an auspicious day of the zodiac, you have to be delayed, so it's better to just pick a free time to open.

It's dawning. Chu Yuqin washed his face, went to the kitchen to make breakfast, and brought one to Ling Shengyi.

Considering that she slept too late last night, she didn't bring breakfast to Ling Shengyi, but handed it to the people in the house. Tell them to wait for Ling Shengyi to wake up before eating.

Ling Shengyi has a fixed biological clock, so he woke up at that time.

He sat at his desk, looking at the breakfast brought by the servant was ramen, and it was his favorite meat noodles, so he asked, "Miss Chu is awake?" ”

"Yes. The noodles were delivered by Miss Chu. She was worried that you were still resting and wouldn't bother you, so she handed the noodles to the minion. The servant said.

Ling Shengyi picked up the chopsticks and picked a few to eat.

Chew twice, stop, and put down the chopsticks.

The servant looked at him suspiciously: "Childe, but it doesn't suit your appetite?" ”

Ling Shengyi glanced at him lightly: "When have you ever seen the food cooked by Miss Chu not to my liking?" ”

"Yes. Is that want to change the taste today? The servant said again.

"I still have two pages left to read, and I'll eat it when I'm done. Stand down! I don't need to wait here. Ling Shengyi said lightly: "Also, call Elder Zheng over." I'm used to him following me. ”

"Yes. The minion immediately went to Steward Zheng. ”

After the servant went out, Ling Shengyi picked up the noodles and ate two more bites.

It wasn't until the footsteps disappeared that he stopped and spit out what he had just eaten.

His tongue is so sharp that if there is even the slightest thing wrong, he can taste it immediately.

This bowl of noodles is very fragrant, but there is something else in it. I'm afraid that thing is a life-urging talisman for him.

Old man Zheng walked in and said, "Childe, are you looking for an old slave?" ”

Ling Shengyi raised his eyes, saw the servant standing not far away, and said, "What are you still doing here?" Didn't I say that I'm used to serving Elder Zheng? No one else is needed here. ”

The servant said respectfully, "The slave is here to collect the bowl." ”

"Take it away!" Ling Shengyi pushed the empty bowl next to him.

When the servant saw that there was no soup left in the bowl, he went out with the bowl.

"Elder Zheng." Ling Shengyi said: "Send someone to keep an eye on this subordinate." He has a problem. ”

Zheng Lao looked back at the servant's back.

"He is also from the Zhu family."

"Really?" Ling Shengyi said: "Then tell Steward Zhu about this matter." Since he is a member of the Zhu family, he should be responsible. ”

"Childe is right...... Which Zhu housekeeper? Zhu Ce in our house is also Steward Zhu. Old man Zheng touched his head and said blankly.

"Zhu Han and Zhu Ce, you can talk about it! Both of them are smart people. If they can work together to investigate this matter, there may be unexpected gains. Ling Shengyi said.

"Did something just happen?" Although Old Man Zheng is old, he is not faint.

From Ling Shengyi's words, he could hear that something had happened that he didn't know.

"In the spittoon over there." Ling Shengyi pointed behind the screen.

Old man Zheng walked to that location and saw a bowl of noodles in the spittoon.

"This ...... What's wrong with this noodle? ”

"He added something to it."

"Then the slave will get some more food for Childe! You haven't eaten at all! ”

"No need. If you have breakfast again, won't everything be exposed? It's just that I want you to deal with this here, and you can't let anyone know about it. ”

"Childe, just rest assured."

Early in the morning, the village chief borrowed the carriage of the Chu family to send Chu Jiang to the official mansion, and handed it over to the county magistrate with the news from Chu Jiang.

Now all they can do is wait for news, and wait for the girls to come back.

People from the village gathered at the village chief to wait for news.

The Yu clan and the Xiao Yu clan are also with the village chief.

Perhaps it was this incident that gave the villagers a little sense of shared suffering, and the village women who were originally sour to the Yu clan were now kind to their sisters.

Yu saw Jin in the crowd.

"Sister-in-law Qin, why is she here?" Yu glanced in Jin's direction.

"Don't you know? Chu Xiaocui was also arrested. Qin said in a low voice.

"I only heard Qin'er say that a few families were robbed of girls, but I didn't ask which ones in detail. It turned out that his family ......" Yu didn't finish his words, and shut up when he saw Jin Shi looking at him viciously.

Xiao Yushi noticed the eye contact between the two, and said angrily: "What are you afraid of her?" Do you remember what Qin'er taught you? To deal with this kind of person, you have to be strong enough for her to be a man with her tail between her legs. ”

From morning to noon, after lunch, everyone tacitly waited until the afternoon.

The village chief's yard was full of melon seed skins that everyone had swallowed, as well as cigarette ash left by the men.

"The person who sent Chu Jiang into the city hasn't come back yet, and I don't know what happened."

"Will the prefectural magistrate be the master of our minds? What if he says we don't have enough evidence and doesn't find someone for us? ”

In the midst of everyone's anxious speculation, the sound of the carriage came from the entrance of the village.

"It's our family's carriage." Yu said excitedly, "I can hear this voice. ”

"They're back."

The villagers excitedly greeted the entrance of the village.

Before I reached the entrance of the village, I saw a horse-drawn carriage coming halfway.

The carriage stopped.

The person who drove the carriage was the villager who sent Chu Jiang into the city. The villager said excitedly, "It's done." The girls found it. ”

"Really? That's great. Did they come back with you? ”

One of the villagers lifted the curtain of the carriage and there was nothing inside.

The crowd was disappointed.

"What are you anxious about? I'm coming back to inform you. The government still has to make records, so the girls are still in the county office. Don't worry. This time, he smashed the other party's lair, wiped out all the people's teeth, and found more than 100 girls. The yamen will make a clear count of the origins of those girls, and then send them back to the villages one by one. ”

"Can you come back today? We don't feel at ease if we don't see them! Ju Er Niang said urgently.

"Don't worry. Two hours at most, and I can be back before dawn anyway. The man said, "I'll return the carriage to Uncle Chu first." I'll tell you more about what happened today. ”

"Let's just eat at our house today. If the girls come back and go to my house for dinner, they will be shocked by them. Chu Yuqin, who rushed to hear the news, invited the whole village.
