Qu Youying ran all the way and waited until she was out of the range of Fengling Street before stopping.

She propped up the wall, followed her breath, and kept her eyes on the movements around her, afraid that Thirteen Chuan would suddenly appear.

But when she looked at it, she found that there were many more officers and soldiers on the streets today.

They were not wearing the official uniforms of the yamen, but the ones that belonged to the Taiwei.

Saber in hand, a small team, scattered across the streets.

She thought of the matter of Thirteen Chuan's transfer of manpower just now, and she was puzzled, so she grabbed a passer-by and asked.

"Excuse me, do you know why there are so many officers and soldiers patrolling this street all of a sudden? Is something wrong? ”

The man glanced at Qu Youying and said, "I heard that something happened to Xie Fu. ”

When Qu Youying heard this, her heart was shocked, and she hurriedly asked, "What happened to Xie Fu?" ”

"I don't know! It's only clear that someone seems to be missing, so now the officers and soldiers are searching for people from house to house! Maybe which criminal escaped? ”

"It won't be a criminal."

Qu Youying said with certainty.

The man listened, but asked curiously, "How do you know that you can't be a criminal?" ”

Qu Youying smiled, "Taiwei lives in Xie Mansion!" No matter how bold Master Xie is, he doesn't dare to detain criminals, and he will definitely send them to the yamen. ”

"Oh. You have a point, too. ”

The man nodded, and then left.

Qu Youying stared at the officers and soldiers in front of her and walked into the store to search, and her heart became more and more suspicious.

"The people who were dispatched were all Taiwei's people, not the government office, which means that the missing person should have something to do with Taiwei. Who could it be? ”

She couldn't figure it out, so she just went directly to Xie Mansion to take a look, as long as she found Xie Xiaoer, she could solve her doubts.

trotted all the way to Xie Mansion, where there were no heavy guards in front of the door, and the guards were all from Xie Mansion.

They knew Qu Youying, and when they saw her dressed in men's clothes, they smiled honestly.

"Miss Qu, why are you here?"

Qu Youying nodded and asked with a smile, "Where is your young master?" ”

"The young master is in the courtyard! Are you looking for him? The minions led you there? ”

"No need. I'll just go myself. ”

She waved her hand and strode into Xie's mansion.

I didn't know that not long after I entered, I was put on the neck with a knife by several guards.

"What people! Dare to break into Xie Mansion and report your name! ”

Qu Youying looked at his fierce look, for fear that he would come over ruthlessly and leave another mark on her neck.

So she softened her posture and smiled very harmlessly.

"I'm the eldest lady of Qufu, and I'm here to find the second son of Xie Mansion. If you think I'm suspicious, you can ask someone to find Second Prince Xie. ”

At this time, Mrs. Xie passed by and saw her.

"Xiaoying, why are you here?" She walked up to the guard and said gently, "This man is my son's friend, and I ask the official to put down the sword." ”

The man knew Mrs. Xie, and when he heard this, he immediately put away his saber and said, "I'm sorry, my subordinates are also responsible." ”

"It doesn't matter."

Mrs. Xie smiled slightly, then took Qu Youying's hand and walked to the backyard.

Qu Youying found that there was no one guarding outside the gate of the Xie Mansion, but from the beginning of this front yard, at certain distances, there was a guard standing guard.

The atmosphere is quite rigorous.

All the way to the intersection of the inner courtyard, there were still people watching.

All this made Qu Youying feel even more strange, she always felt that since yesterday, everything seemed to be surging up like a tide.

If you don't retreat in time, you will probably be flooded.

Where there were fewer guards, Qu Youying lowered her voice and asked Mrs. Xie.

"Aunt Xie, what happened in Xie Mansion? I saw a lot of officers and soldiers searching and patrolling the streets, and even Xie Fu was not in peace. It looked good yesterday! ”

"Hey."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xie sighed heavily, with a sad face.

"Last night, the daughter of the captain, Miss Yang, disappeared."

"What?" Qu Youying was stunned, "Yang Wan'er is missing?" How did you go missing? ”

Mrs. Xie shook her head and said, "I don't know, I only heard them say that there was no trace of a fight in the room, as if they had left." ”

"So how do you conclude she's missing? Or must he have been taken away? ”

"I heard from the old man that it seemed that the other party had left a note and tied it to a severed finger. As for what is written on it, I don't know. ”

"Severed fingers?"

"Yes." Mrs. Xie nodded, her voice was always soft, like a spring breeze, very good, "The Taiwei said that it was Miss Yang's tail finger, so he was furious and ordered a strict investigation." ”

"Just by cutting off the finger, you can be sure that it is Yang Wan'er's?"

"It seems that Miss Yang has fractured the tail finger of her left hand, so the tail finger is bent and deformed. It's exactly the same as the truncated finger. ”

Qu Youying was surprised to hear it, squinting as she walked, feeling that something was wrong.

Mrs. Xie didn't know what she was thinking, so she brought the person to Xie Xiaoer's courtyard, stopped, took Qu Youying's hand, and patted it in her palm.

"Bi'an was locked up by his father, afraid that he would get into trouble. Now he's making a lot of noise, and even I won't see it. Since you are here, go and persuade him, don't be angry with his father. The lord is doing this for his good. ”

Mrs. Xie is everyone's beautiful lady, gentle, and soft-spoken, like a willow in March, beautiful and slender.

Qu Youying has always liked her, because in her, Qu Youying can feel the breath of her mother.

"Well, don't worry, auntie, I'll persuade him well."

Mrs. Xie touched her head, her eyes were loving, "Good boy, thank you for your hard work." ”

Qu Youying was very pleased with her actions, grinning happily, "It's not hard, it's not hard." ”

"Silly boy." Mrs. Xie was amused by her appearance and laughed, "Okay, you go!" I'm going to be busy. ”

"Well, aunt let's go."

Qu Youying waited until Mrs. Xie left before entering Xie Xiaoer's courtyard.

Xie Xiaoer was lazy, but the people in his yard were all very shrewd, and when he saw Qu Youying coming in from afar, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Miss Qu, you're here! The slave went to inform the young master. ”

"Don't, I'll go find him myself. Where is he? ”

The man pointed to the attic behind the rockery, snickered and said, "I was punished by the master, and now I am copying books!" ”

"Well deserved!"

Qu Youying scolded and strode up to the attic.

Before he could go up to the second floor, he heard him holding a thick rope there, and he didn't know what to do.

Qu Youying stopped at the top of the stairs, looked left and right, then picked up a small vase on the side, and smashed it at the back of his head without saying a word.

Xie Xiaoer was originally planning how to escape from the Xie Mansion, but suddenly noticed that there was wind behind him.

His intuition told him that there was an attack.

He turned around sharply and kicked the vase with his foot, and the vase was shattered by him.

"Who dares to attack Young Master Ben!"

"Me!"

Qu Youying took advantage of the fact that he was resisting the vase, stepped forward quickly, and kicked him fiercely when he stopped and took an attacking stance.

As soon as Xie Xiaoer saw that it was her, he stopped attacking, but he didn't know that she would take advantage of the loophole and kick her to the calf.

Suddenly he screamed in pain.

"Qu Youying, you're going to murder your friend!"

"It's good to be able to murder! Uncle Xie and Aunt Xie are so good to you, why are you disobedient! Still angry with them, what are you thinking about all day long! ”

"Then you're not angry with your father!"

Qu Youying, who was holding back a sentence, couldn't answer, she snorted, simply sat down in the chair, and unceremoniously took the fruit on the table and nibbled on it.

Xie Xiaoer looked at her with a slightly embarrassed appearance, and saw red blood letters on the inside of her clothes with sharp eyes.

Immediately stepped forward, lifted her robe, and asked, "What are you?" Bloody book? ”

"Yes! Here, I'm here for you. ”

She generously took off her robe so that he could see it.

Xie Xiaoer spread the robe on the table, found the head, read it, and suddenly his face changed slightly.

"Who wrote this? Is it reliable? ”

"Pretty reliable." Qu Youying bit the apple and said vaguely, "But I didn't find the spliced bones in the abandoned mansion, and at the same time, the bones with huge foot bones were also missing." ”

Xie Xiaoer watched her swallow the apple in her mouth, and knew that she hadn't finished speaking, and listened quietly.

Qu Youying threw the apple core to the side, picked up another banana, and said while peeling it.

The man wrote that at the time of the discovery of the spliced bones, no bones of the big foot bones were found, but the total number of bones at that time was correct. But today, I have not found two bones, but the total number is only one missing. ”

"But in fact, there should be two missing?"

"Yes." Qu Youying said with great certainty, "I don't have time to carefully examine each bone, but if I have enough time to re-examine it, I should be able to solve the mystery here." ”

"Maybe I can explain this to you."

Xie Xiaoer suddenly stood up mysteriously, took Qu Youying's hand and coat, went back to his room, and carefully locked the doors and windows.

"What are you going to do? It's so mysterious, what do others think we do in broad daylight? ”

In the face of such ridicule, Xie Xiaoer was very unconcerned, and he snorted twice.

"I can warn you, my body and mind belong to Qianxi, don't take a fancy to me, otherwise Jing Zhu will have to kill me."

He pouted his ass and lay on the ground, burrowing under the bed, not knowing what to hold again.

Qu Youying's eyes darkened, and her smiling face was like a cloud, and she sank in an instant.

Only she knows, the real Mu Jingzhu doesn't know where it is, it's been many days.

She really didn't know what to do if she couldn't find him again.

"Xiaoying, Xiaoying? What happened to you? ”

Xie Xiaoer waved his hand in front of her, looking inexplicable.

"I'm fine." She shook her head away from the embarrassment in her heart, and her gaze fell on a black box the length of his forearm in his hand, "What is this?" ”

"This, I guess it can solve the doubts of the bones of the abandoned mansion for you."

Qu Youying's eyebrows frowned slightly, and the raised hill made her expression much more serious.

"What the hell is it?"

Xie Xiaoer was silent, put the box on the table, and then opened it.

When Qu Youying saw the contents of the box, she suddenly stood up from the chair.

"Big foot bones?"

She stared at one of the big foot bones in the box in amazement, and her eyes widened.
