But the strange thing was that he found Li Jicai, who was curled up in the wooden box, was still breathing well.

Maybe it's providence, providence, let him take this woman away.

Anyway, the stealing has already been stolen, and if you want to return it, it's too late.

Wu Mian looked at the old man Xia who was lying at the stern of the boat, and looked into the distance again, but no one came before or after. After concluding that there were no pursuers, he put Li Jicai back in the sack, then tied the rope tightly, put it on his back, and then ran away.

Wu Mian is thin and dry, with a short and sturdy body, which always makes people feel that he has no strength. In fact, after years of hard work and deliberate exercise, his strength is not inferior to the tall and strong men born to him, and even Wu Mian is stronger than them.

In this way, he carried Li Jicai and walked over the reeds, across the wilderness, all the way to the mountains and forests.

And after Wu Mian left, the remnant sun was like blood, dyeing half of the sky red, the golden surface of the river, the wind did not know when it had stopped, and occasionally calmly set off a slight wave, the water birds were light, the reeds were swaying, and the fish were swimming and there was a splash.

Until everything was silent, there was still a lone broken boat lying on the river. Lying on it was an old man who had just been beaten, his face twisted and distorted in pain, unconscious.

No one passes by, nature and no one discovers. Xia Laohan walked on the inaccessible river, which was a shortcut he thought he had.

After more than a day, Xia Laohan was discovered.

At this critical time, no matter what is unusual in the city, it will be noticed by the people of the government.

And when the people from the government heard the news and rushed over, Xia Laohan was still lying on the boat alone, at a loss.

This time he no longer resisted the approach of the man in his uniform, for he had been beaten and the ship had almost been stolen.

When the officers and soldiers led by him carefully asked Xia Laohan what happened, Xia Laohan said for some reason that he was attacked by a thin man and almost robbed the boat.

But in fact his ship was not taken, and several wooden boxes in his cabin showed signs of being turned over, and the officers and men found something unusual in one of them.

There was a pool of blood.

After careful identification, there is also an analysis of footprints. Basically, it can be concluded that one person was hiding in the wooden box with an injured person, while the other was a man who had been hiding in the water or had been on the boat, leaving footprints.

In this way, it is two people, and if an adult man is not an adult man, he will not be able to fit into this wooden box, but a woman is suitable.

According to Xia Laohan, he has never seen any children playing near his boat, and he has basically lived on the boat all along.

The children never dared to approach his boat, thinking that he was a strange person, and even some children would smash Xia Laohan with stones, how could they run on Xia Laohan's boat?

On top of that, he didn't know when someone was hiding in his cargo.

The merchant who transported the goods and the person receiving them went to check that there was nothing unusual, which only showed that the wooden box on the ship was forcibly stuffed into a person halfway to hide it.

So during this period of time, the man and woman they were searching for had a great possible breakthrough on Xia Laohan's ship.

There was nothing unusual found at several gates in Jinzhou City, and now the possibility suddenly appeared, which made the officers and soldiers present excited, they were one of the search teams in Jinzhou City, and now that they have made a major discovery, they can go to the last time to be rewarded.

The officers and soldiers took the box that had been hidden all the way back to the official mansion.

When Cheng Cheng knew the news, he immediately rushed to the official mansion, and when they heard that there was very much news of Li Jicai, they were all a little excited, and Biyu and Biluo rushed over with Cheng Cheng for the first time.

In front of them was a chest that most likely had hidden Li Jicai, yes, a wooden box.

Except for a small pool of blood, there is nothing other useful, and it is difficult to tell whether it was once loaded with Li Jicai by just a small pool of blood.

But as far as what happened in the whole city of Jinzhou is concerned, if someone wants to use the ship to transport people out of the city gate and escape, then it is likely that they are them

The others studied the wooden box for a long time, but there was no progress, and in the end, it was the meticulous Jasper who came up with his own ideas.

I only saw that Biyu turned around the wooden box, circled around, and then carefully approached the wooden box, sniffing the wooden box with her nose.

"This is indeed pretending to be my young lady, there is nothing wrong." After looking at the wooden box for a long time, Biyu said these words lightly but definitely in the surprised eyes of everyone.

If she wasn't completely sure, she wouldn't dare say that.

Cheng Cheng stood not far away and stared at everyone for a long time, and suddenly heard Biyu say this, and he didn't feel arrogant, but asked Biyu to talk about her opinion, how was she sure that it was Li Jicai who was once pretended to be here?

"You have never seen my young lady, or have never lived with my young lady, and the slave maid is the maid of the young lady, and she is always by the side of the young lady, taking care of the daily life of the young lady, and is naturally very familiar with all aspects of the young lady.

As for how the slave and maid determined that there was once a young lady in it, it still depends on the smell of the wooden box.

That's right, the smell.

On the day of the disappearance, the clothes she was wearing happened to be freshly made, and the clothes were new clothes that the slave maid had dyed with spices for about half a month.

The smell of this spice is not very strong, but it is very long-lasting, and the young lady must have stayed in this wooden box for a long time, otherwise the slave would not have smelled this smell unless she smelled it carefully. Biyu thought that Li Jicai was probably trapped in this boxy box and curled up, and felt extremely distressed after being trapped for a long time, such a small box, trapped this woman, what a great sin.

"Are you sure?" Cheng Cheng was still a little hesitant about the smell recognition method of jasper.

"Sure." Biyu looked at Cheng Cheng with a very firm look, knowing that he was also worried that if he lost the best opportunity to find Li Jicai because of the wrong inducement, it would be bad.

But if she wasn't completely sure, she would never have said it.

Seeing that everyone was still suspicious, Jasper didn't talk nonsense, she told all the production process of those spices and the herbs contained in the spices, and said that if you don't believe it, you can ask the doctor to come over, and the doctor can also identify these.

If it weren't for Li Jicai's fried locusts before, asking Biyu and Biluo to go out to find some spices from Yanguo diesel, Jasper would not have picked it up again, a craft that had been shelved for many years.

I won't know that this helped a lot on the way to find Li Jicai later.

Hearing Biyu say this, Cheng Cheng felt a little bitter in his heart, but in order to convince the public, for the sake of insurance, he really asked others to find a doctor to come and have a look.

Fortunately, this wooden box has always been closed, and Li Jicai has been locked in it for more than two days, so the smell of clothes and spices has more or less emitted some inside the box.

Jasper was distinguished by the smell in the wooden box, and she had been exposed to this fragrance for a long time, so it could be said that she made it, how could she not be sure.

Because they cut a lot of new clothes for Li Jicai during this time, some clothes were specially made of spices and dyed with some special things before Li Jicai was put on, otherwise they would not dare to use the fabric outside.

Originally, I thought it was also a good wish to remove filth and auspiciousness.

There is a doctor in the county town in the official mansion, and when Cheng Cheng ordered to find a doctor to come over, those people went to find a doctor who was faltering, with a white beard and looked quite old, and the poor old doctor was pulled all the way to the lobby of the official mansion, facing a wooden box, and asked him to smell what was in the wooden box.

Later, after the old doctor studied it tremblingly for a while, he said the names of several herbs, which he had indeed come into contact with, which could be used in medicine and had medicinal properties.

It also does confirm Jasper's statement.

Therefore, everyone is 100% sure that this box used to be the box where Li Jicai was kept, so in this way, the place where Xia Laohan's ship was anchored was the place where Li Jicai's bad guys and Li Jicai disappeared in Luzhou.

Because the place where they are located is already outside the moat, and beyond the river is through the reeds, and then through a plain, there is a mountain forest.

Once you escape into the mountains and forests, it will be difficult to find people.

Cheng Cheng frowned involuntarily, he had a headache when he thought of this, but in the end he didn't hold it back, and let them run away.

However, it is only one person who can give a woman under their layers of guard, and can steal people out.

Unless this person is a habitual offender, very experienced and has means, Cheng Cheng doubts whether someone in this official mansion has answered him.

After all, according to his arrangement, it should be that all flies can't fly out of the city, and people can't fly with wings.

But the omission is here, because the waterways in Jinzhou City are crisscrossed, and no one thought that the other party would be able to hide underwater and avoid their pursuit.

I didn't expect that they would hide Li Jicai in a small wooden box and smuggle him out of the city.

That old man Xia looked stupid and dull at first glance, and he didn't pay much attention to the things around him, and he didn't know anything about when people sneaked into his cabin.

Cheng Cheng was so angry that he shook his head, but he was helpless.

Regarding the latest progress of Li Jicai's disappearance, he can only report it honestly.

This incident was his dereliction of duty, and it was because he did not take good care of Li Jicai.

It's just that I haven't seen it so that people have stolen it, and I even managed to steal it out of the city.

Soon, the latest news sent by Cheng Cheng verified that Li Jicai had indeed been kidnapped and fled outside Jingzhou City, and was no longer in Jinzhou City.

Therefore, the scope of searching for Li Jicai is even greater, and it is more likely that Li Jicai will completely disappear into the sea of people, and he will never be able to find it again.

It could never be found again, and such news reached the capital, causing an uproar.

Because Cheng Cheng wrote down the ins and outs of the matter clearly and carefully, there was no one at all, whether they were playing a trick or something, because the officers and soldiers of the county order of Jinzhou City were all looking at it, and there was nothing greasy in it.

On the eve of Li Jicai's return to the capital, she was stolen.

It's ridiculous.

However, it is actually very normal for someone to go missing in the Chu State, it just depends on who the missing person is.

If a civilian woman is kidnapped and taken away, she will be kidnapped, and her family will look for it everywhere, but if you can't find it, forget it, the government has reported it, and there is no way to find it.

But Li Jicai's current situation is very embarrassing, after all, His Majesty once said in person that he would meet Li Jicai in the court, and Li Jicai has not had time to be rewarded for some merits because he sat down in Liangzhou, but the person is gone.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like an oolong show.

There has to be a follow-up to this matter anyway, and it will be like a thorn in the flesh, or a lump in everyone's heart.

He's there like that, if you don't care about it, he's still there, but if you go and watch it, you can't control it, so it's going to be extremely awkward.

always has to get things out of the way, and some people have spread conspiracy theories, saying that Li Jicai's own reasons make people red, and some people really believe that eating her flesh and blood can prolong life.

Some people also said that because she was a subordinate of the Four Princes and was a capable general, some people wanted to deal with the Four Princes, so they took Li Jicai.

But some people said that Li Jicai didn't want to return to the capital and enter the courtiers' field of vision, and he was afraid of getting into trouble, so he even escaped with outsiders.

For a while, public opinion was divided, and the initial discussion of Li Jicai had gradually decayed, but because of this one, Li Jicai once again brushed a wave of presence.

It seems that most people feel that if they don't find Li Jicai and ask him clearly, this matter should not be so hastily resolved.

After all, he is a hero of the imperial court, and if His Majesty also behaves very indifferently, then he will feel extremely chilling in the hearts of the courtiers.

Treat Your Majesty with meritorious heroes like this, so treat them, ordinary ministers who have not made meritorious contributions, if something goes wrong in the future, wouldn't they just throw them away.

Emperor Gao De has always attached great importance to his image in front of the courtiers, so he has to assign someone to find out about Li Jicai's matter.

Obviously, the Four Princes are not suitable, because Li Jicai is his subordinate.

And what happened to Li Jiye before made Gao Dedi a little worried, so he didn't hand over this matter to Qi Qingchu.

This matter must be assigned to a well-informed person to do it, and Emperor Gao Dedi thought about it and felt that there was only one person who was suitable......
