Chong Ruoling put the book on the table, and was about to say something when she heard Cui'e's voice coming from the door.

It was Cui'e who brought a bowl of chicken soup, which she specially asked the small kitchen to boil.

"Miss, the slave has come in."

When Chong Yiyun heard this, she hurriedly got up and helped Cui'e lift the door curtain.

She suddenly remembered Jing Mujun in the house, and when she turned around, Jing Mujun was gone.

Cui'e entered the room, put the chicken soup away, and suddenly found that there was a cold wind in the house, and when she turned around, she saw that the window was actually open, "Miss, why don't you open the window and not close it, be careful to blow your body." ”

Chong Yiyun nodded yes.

When Cui'e closed the window, she saw that Miss was actually standing in a daze, "Miss, what's wrong, sit down and drink soup, it won't taste good if it's cold for a while." ”

"Oh!" Chong Yiyun answered, picked up the soup bowl and drank it.

"By the way, when you go to Jinyulou and look for the shopkeeper, you will say that if Yun Yiyou is looking for their boss, there is no need to say anything else." Chong Yiyun looked up and said.

"Yes, miss, the slave knows." Cui'e nodded.

………

Recently, every evening, there will be people in Kyoto who have lost their girls, some are the daughters of poor families, some are the daughters of large families, and some people have reported to the officials, but they have not been able to find a trace of clues.

As soon as Jing Mujun returned to the mansion, he was called away by the eunuchs in the palace.

The emperor was furious when he learned of this, and his officials were so useless, they had already lost four young girls in Kyoto, and they didn't even see each other's shadows.

"The courtier's brother meets the emperor"

"Get up, look at this..."The emperor handed the fold to the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch lowered his head and walked in front of Jing Mujun again.

"This ........." Jing Mujun frowned and looked at the words on the fold.

"What do you think?"

"Back to the emperor, this should be a group of people committing the crime, although the location of the incident is not close, but it is obvious that they have a clear goal"

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you! We must find out about this and find the girl back. ”

"Brother obeys!"

When Jing Mujun walked out of the palace, he called the wind and fire, and then came to the house where the accident occurred.

This is a family that sells steamed buns for a living, the family is not rich, the lost girl is named Xiaohua, is the only daughter in the family, the second old man in the family is reluctant to show up every day, so he called his daughter alone at home, embroidery.

When everyone mentions Xiaohua, they all say that she has been beautiful since she was a child, she is rich and noble, and she will definitely be able to enter the palace as a mother or something in the future, so Xiaohua has never suffered hardship.

On the day Xiaohua was lost, the second elder was the same as usual, seeing that the sky was going to be dark, so he closed the stall and went home, but as soon as he got home, he found that it was wrong, the door was opened, and the oil lamp in the room was not lit, the second elder thought that Xiaohua was going to the neighbor's house next door to find Juan'er to play, and he didn't care too much, but Xiaohua's mother had finished cooking dinner, and Xiaohua didn't come back, so he got up and went to Juan'er's house with Xiaohua's father, but Xiaohua didn't come at all, Xiaohua suddenly disappeared, they looked for it all night, and they didn't find it, and they reported to the official the next day.

Then Jing Mujun walked to the other three families, the girls in each family lost a different time and place, but there were no witnesses, they were all about ten years old, the only thing they had in common was that they heard that these girls were all outstanding.

Jing Mujun ordered to secretly count the outstanding-looking girls in the city, and make statistics, register their names, and send people to guard them secretly.

Soon, Chopping Wind and Minghuo jumped away.

…………

Chong Yiyun looked at the red glass that jumped in from the window again, and thought to herself, what's going on with these ancient people, everyone likes to jump out of the window, is it addictive to jumping out of the window?

Hongli sat leisurely beside Chong Yiyun, close to the table, with one hand on her chin, looking at Chong Yiyun intently.

"I came to you because I asked you for something." Chong Yiyun is a little uncomfortable to be looked at like this.

"Okay, I promise you!" Hongli replied.

"I haven't said anything yet, so you promise, in case I tell you to kill someone."

Hongli heard her words and became interested, "Kill whom?" Zhang Fenglan? Or is it heavy as a spirit? ”

When Chong Yiyun heard this, he exclaimed, "You know a lot about the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

"It's not about killing people, it's about imagining you borrowing people. The shop that I opened in partnership with my second brother has a good business, but you also know that my things cannot be directly displayed for sale, so recently Cui'e and I are going to be cocooned when we unpack and unpack, and I want you to help me find a few trustworthy people to help me unpack. ”

Hongli thought for a moment, "It can be, but ........."

Chong Yiyun worried, "But what? ”

"I want two boxes of masks from last time."

Chong Yiyun smiled, "Well, give you five boxes, and it will be used as labor expenses." ”

"You'll settle accounts." Hongli looked at her dotingly.

"Xiao Yun'er, recently... Don't go out anymore. He said suddenly.

Chong Yiyun looked at him strangely, what's wrong, she just agreed to the second aunt to go shopping for New Year's goods today.

"Why can't you go out?" Chong Yiyun asked strangely.

"Anyway......... You'll know later, presumably it will be fine after the year, and the year before is always a little uneven. Hongli didn't say it explicitly.

"Okay, I'll be careful." Chong Yiyun smiled.

After Hongli left, Chong Yiyun changed into the outfit she was going out and came to the second aunt's room.

found that Zeng Yurong frowned.

"What's the matter, second aunt."

"Looks like we won't be able to go to the market today." Zeng Yurong said.

Chong Yiyun sat next to Zeng Yurong, looking at the handkerchief in her hand, a pair of dragonflies, very good-looking.

"The eldest lady has a message from there, this year's New Year's goods are purchased by her, and in previous years, I went to it, but this year, somehow, the lord actually responded to her, and she went, and wanted to take you to have a good walk around the city, it seems that it can't be done."

"If you can't go, forget it, I'm too lazy to move anyway." It's a pity that she also took a lot of silver taels, and she wanted to take the opportunity to go out and buy more fun things back, but now she has money and nowhere to spend, but it's a pity.

On the eldest lady's side, Chong Ruoling took out her private money, planning to take this opportunity to go out with her mother, she hadn't gone out to play for a long time, and this hard-won opportunity, Chong Ruoling was overjoyed.

"Mother, let's go, I brought a lot of silver." Chong Ruoling said ostentatiously.

Zhang Fenglan smiled, "Silly daughter, with your mother here, what are you doing with the silver." "Purchasing New Year's goods, she used to disdain to participate, but she suddenly thought, this is a good thing, recently her hands have become tighter and tighter, and she wants to ask Chong Ruiyu for something, but Chong Ruiyu is too busy, rarely can see him, plus the relationship between their mother and son is not close, Zhang Fenglan can't open her mouth.

When Chong Ruoling heard her say this, she put away the silver again, thought about it again, and took out a part of it, in case her favorite mother didn't buy it for her.

Zhang Fenglan and Chong Ruoling went out with a few guards and housekeepers, and when they arrived at the market, Chong Ruoling was like a lark out of a cage, skewering around in the market, and she was followed by two guards to protect her safety.

After a while, Chong Ruoling held a string of sugar gourds in his hand and ate it beautifully.

The ordinary clothes worn by Chong Ruoling look ordinary, but her appearance is also outstanding, coupled with the two guards carrying many things behind her, she looks extraordinary in the crowd.

Chong Ruoling also found that many people looked at her, and she was a little proud in her heart.

But just like Hongli said to Chong Yiyun, there must have been some unevenness years ago.
