"My lord, our people patrolling suddenly heard a woman's scream and ran over to see that someone grabbed the girl, and the big fat went up to chase after the man in black after a few moves, but I didn't think that the man in black was a master and killed the big fat."
"The girl went out with his father to pour night incense, and his father was so frightened that he lost his mind, so I brought him back."
The officers and soldiers explained that Wang Hao squatted down and stretched out his hand to probe the fat snort, but he was indeed not breathing.
"These people are really the opposite, and they dare to rob the people's girls under your noses!"
Wang Hao trembled, and his face turned black with anger.
"My daughter, my daughter..."
The middle-aged man in front of him had no master, his eyes were empty, and he only read these words in his mouth.
He still had the smell of night incense on his body, and when he saw that someone wanted to take his daughter away, he didn't know where he got the strength to smash the barrel on the man in black.
But the man in black was in good health, so he dodged it at once.
If the officers and soldiers hadn't arrived in time, he might have died.
"First send this old man back, you go and get a straw mat to wrap the person and take him away, and when you go to the big fat house, you will give this silver to his daughter-in-law, let his daughter-in-law mourn, and the official will definitely catch the murderer and give her an explanation."
Wang Hao tore off the money bag tied around his waist and handed it to his subordinates, the bag was heavy, he even carried this silver to sleep, this is his whole family property.
"Yes."
His subordinates saw Wang Hao's determination and nodded.
Don't dare to slack off, do what Wang Hao said.
These few people are all old people in the yamen and have been with several prefects, some have been promoted, some have been demoted, and only Wang Hao is really good to them.
Wang Hao looked at the corpse and was very annoyed.
"You come with me on patrol."
Wang Hao raised his head, snatched the torch in one person's hand and walked out.
Step by step, heavy and heavy.
But after patrolling all night, no one was missing, and the sun was shining at the beginning of the morning.
After Wang Hao came back, he only fell asleep on the court, and what woke him up was the sound of drumming.
Now as soon as he heard the sound of drumming, Wang Hao's whole person was full of spirit and did not dare to slack off, and the news brought this time was still the same.
The killer has not yet been found, and several people are missing.
Not only in the area under his jurisdiction, but even a few people in other counties have disappeared, but the yamen over there doesn't care about this, and these people can only run across the county to Wang Hao's side.
Wang Hao looked at the crying people below, and sat on the chair with a little weakness.
"Lord Qiyu, four more girls disappeared from last night to this morning."
The officers and soldiers cautiously prayed, and he saw that Wang Hao was haggard and a little tired.
Wang Hao covered his pale face with his hands.
"Invite these people back first, if you find the murderer..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a woman raise her head and look at Wang Hao with her eyes misty.
"My lord, it has been many days since the murderer was found, are you planning to perfunctory us? You're the Lord of the Blue Sky, you can't ignore this. โ
The woman shouted in a loud voice, not afraid at all.
Seeing this, the officers and soldiers wanted to arrest her, but Wang Hao stopped them, and with a wave of their hands, those people stood back in their original places.
"Yes, you are the master of Qingtian, you have to be responsible for this, my little daughter is engaged and will get married next year, now, now..."
Before he could finish speaking, he began to cry.
Wang Hao was haggard.
He also wanted to catch the murderer, but now he didn't have any eyebrows except that he knew that they were all masters.
"What is the responsibility of my family, my family has been..."
"Don't talk about it."
When Wang Hao said this, the officers and soldiers stopped talking, bowed their heads, and looked sad.
Yesterday, they lost a brother in order to catch the murderer, and now these people also accuse Wang Hao of inaction.
"Everyone, please believe this official once, if there is any news, I will definitely send someone to tell you."
Wang Hao was powerless, but these people in front of him just didn't listen and didn't leave.
"No, there will definitely be no follow-up if you leave, today we want you to give us an explanation, otherwise we won't leave."
The woman sat on the ground with her butt and said.
Now that her daughter is gone, she is also free.
As soon as her daughter didn't have her, she came directly to the government, for fear that she would be beaten by her husband when she went back.
Their family is looking forward to their daughter's marriage next year to earn some dowry money.
"Don't take an inch, you woman, my family has done well enough."
The officers and soldiers were not convinced, and pulled out the hilt of the knife, and the silver light on the knife reflected on the woman's face, so frightened that she retreated again and again, and moved her buttocks back a little.
"You want to kill people and kill people, I have seen a lot of you inactive officials, if you want to kill, just kill."
The woman looked like she was not afraid of death.
"Stop! Ladies and gentlemen, this official uses his black gauze hat to guarantee that he will definitely find out the murderer! Please go back and wait for the news first, the official knows your feelings, who is not distressed when they lose their children, this official is also a father with children, and understands this feeling. โ
Wang Hao said, his eyes red.
It is precisely because he knows that he is concerned about this matter, and of course he is also a little selfish, that is, he wants to solve a big case and be promoted at that time.
Everyone didn't know how to answer Wang Hao's words, they just looked at him stunned, a few people got up to leave, and the women also left when they saw this.
Those people are gone, why is she still here, without these people to unite with her, she can't make any waves.
She just wanted to scare and scare these people.
"Your Excellency."
The officers and soldiers shouted worriedly, and Wang Hao waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
On the street, Xiao Changge looked around, she hadn't been on the street for a long time.
And this street is different from when she used to come, there are fewer stalls, and there are many fewer people.
"How can there be so many fewer people?"
She deliberately chose the most lively time, but it looked very deserted.
Just as she was thinking, she only heard that under a willow tree, an old man was talking with a fan in one hand and a teapot in the other, Xiao Changge didn't pay attention, but when she heard that the storyteller was talking about the four princesses, her footsteps stopped.
"Speaking of the four princesses, it can be called a powerful, virtuous and gentle lady, since the prince married her, the prince's mansion can be described as..."
Xiao Changge listened interestingly, this storyteller used almost all the praise words on her, praising that there is no earth in the sky and no earth.
What she used to hear the most was that the Xiao family's concubine was rude and willful, and there was no one in her eyes, only being scolded by others.
"Who are the four princesses you are talking about?"
Qiu Dong asked deliberately, the storyteller glanced at her, and then looked at Xiao Changge beside her, his face darkened slightly.
"I don't like to hear these things when I see you girl, there is only one fourth princess in the world, that is, Xiao Changge, the daughter of General Xiao, what other four princesses are there besides her, go and don't make trouble."
The storyteller mistakenly thought that Qiu Dong was deliberately making trouble, so he hurriedly waved his hand, took a sip of tea and continued to talk.
"It's been a month since you told these stories, even mortals are going to be praised by you as fairies, boring."
The only one in the audience got up, waved his hand and ran.
When the storyteller saw people leaving, he hurriedly shouted: "Hey, don't go, you haven't given the money yet!" โ
As soon as he finished speaking, the person had already walked away.
Xiao Changge clasped his hands around his waist and looked at the storyteller with great interest.
"You see it's all because you scared people away, I don't care if you have to lose money, otherwise I will drag you to the official."
The storyteller is arrogant and unreasonable.
He saw that the two people in front of him were dressed like a big lady, and they should not be short of that little money.
"Why do we have to lose money!"
Qiu Dong was dissatisfied, but she liked to listen to what he praised her princess, and if it was her, she wouldn't get tired of listening to it for a month.
"If you answer me a question, the ingot will be yours."
Xiao Changge took out a silver ingot from his arms and smiled.
The storyteller's eyes lit up, the last time he saw such a large amount of silver was in the last month, and it was given to him by Tang Moshu, of course, the silver was almost spent.
He didn't slack off, he talked about the good of the four princesses every day.
"Who made you praise the fourth princess like this?"
Xiao Changge asked curiously, and the storyteller's eyes rolled, and his dark eyes seemed to be calculating something.
Smiling at Xiao Changge, he approached Xiao Changge and reached out to take the silver: "It's the young master of the Tang family." โ
"Young Master of the Tang Family?"
Qiu Dong frowned, and couldn't remember who it was.
"You don't even know about the richest Tang family in our capital, right?"
The storyteller looked at Qiu Dong curiously, looking incredulous, and was sure that these two people must be strangers.
Who in the capital doesn't know the Tang family.
Just down this street, eight out of ten shops belong to the Tang family.
"The Tang family? Tang Mo book? โ
Qiu Dong popped up this name in her mind, she had seen it once, Tang Moshu came to find her princess.
"I know I don't know him, yes, it's him!"
"I heard that he is good at Longyang."
The storyteller lowered his voice and gossiped, and the thief's eyes looked left and right for fear of being heard.
"Young Master Tang, he really has a heart."
Xiao Changge thought, she may not have been to see Tang Moshu for a long time.
"Longyang is good, well, I think it's quite possible."
Xiao Changge muttered, even though she knew that this was a non-existent thing, she still teased a few words.
"Let me ask you another question, why are there so many shops closed on this street, and there are so many fewer stalls and passers-by?"
Xiao Changge asked curiously, in the past, she could hear these gossips on the street when she didn't go out, but now Qiu Dong is by her side, maybe she will pay less attention to these things and focus all her attention.
"Hey, the tax has increased, and many people can't afford to open a store, so they will go out of business, and they can't make ends meet."
"Some are not closed, and the price has been raised a lot, which is simply black-hearted."
"As for the passers-by, have you noticed anything, girl?"
As he spoke, the storyteller approached Xiao Changge, and Qiu Dong hurriedly pushed him away when he saw this.
"What do you do, after all, don't do it."
Qiu Dong stood in front of Xiao Changge and glared at the storyteller angrily.
"Ouch, I didn't even touch it, you're going to push me down, you can't afford to pay for this medical bill."
The storyteller patted his sleeve, coughed twice, and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
"Recently, there has been a disappearance of a people's daughter in this place, and the people are panicking, and many people have gone to the yamen to report the case this morning, and the people who have disappeared in the past few days alone cannot be counted on ten fingers."
When the storyteller said it, even his own scalp was numb.
"So these people have locked their daughters in the house and refused to let them out, and this person is not missing."
Xiao Changge listened carefully, his eyebrows raised slightly.
Qiu Dong's expression was solemn, and his face suddenly turned into a blank piece of paper.
