After asking one by one, everyone met at the agreed teahouse.

Situ Miaoren leaned against the window, even the sun was shining on his face at the moment, "I asked the five families who came from Taiping County, their daughters often follow the old people in the family to worship the Buddha on weekdays, but the six of them did not go to the temple and other places in the two days of the accident, and one of the two daughters of one family disappeared together." ”

Tao Ziyi bit her fingers a little anxiously and said: "I also asked six households in Taihu County, Anping County and Ganlan County, one of them did not know the girl's whereabouts that day, and the remaining two households had a temple to worship Buddha before the accident, but after worshipping, they left with the girl." ”

Ji Liren also shook his head, "The Hutong Town next door and the four households in this county have not had any contact with mages or monks. ”

Everyone turned their eyes to Sui Ge, who shook his head with a heavy face.

It's back to square one, damn it!

Tao Ziyi sat on the log bench a little dejectedly and said, "Sui Ge, did you originally guess that those missing girls were related to worshipping Buddha?" ”

Sui Ge nodded, shook his head again, raised an index finger, and said, "Monk." ”

Everyone was surprised and said, "Monk? ”

Sui Ge's eyes were clear, but his expression was serious, "I have heard such a case before, there is a temple that has built a branch temple all over the country, and the monks of the temple knock on the scriptures and chant the Buddha, but they do the business of buying and selling women and children at night. They used all kinds of means to take women from all over the country, both young and women, and then transported them to all parts of the country and even to other countries for sale. Those who are of good condition and good are sold as commodities, those of medium condition are sold as prostitutes or sold to rural villages in remote mountainous areas to be imprisoned as wives, and those of medium conditions may be broken or deliberately maimed and begged for beggars. ”

Listening to the words of the song, the faces of several people present changed several times, and finally turned pale.

What kind of talent does this happen?!

Tao Ziyi asked tremblingly, "This...... Is this true? Where did you hear that? Which state and county is the case, how come I haven't heard of it? ”

Sui Ge's eyes darkened, and he said, "Not in Qingyun." In my hometown. "In the 21st century, thousands of years later, in that world where self-proclaimed knowledge and information technology are 10,000 times higher than those of the ancients, and men and women are equal.

Situ asked in a stiff tone, "Just for money?" ”

Sui Ge looked at the three of them and asked softly, "Isn't this reason enough?" ”

No matter in which dynasty, no matter how good the social environment, no matter how rich or poor the country is, money is the most easy thing to spoil people's hearts.

After Situ Yuren glanced at Sui Ge, he didn't overdo it. Tao Ziyi was thoughtful, but her face was still pale, and she still couldn't accept the fact that she had just said with the song.

Ji Liren stood up suddenly, slowly walked in front of Sui Ge, and under Sui Ge's suspicion, he stretched out two fingers and gently tapped Sui Ge's forehead, and said, "So, fortunately, there are still people like you in this world." Fortunately, there are still many people in this world who are unwilling to bend their waists for money. ”

He closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, his eyes were as clear as water. She brushed away Ji Liren's hand in disgust, touched her forehead, and said fiercely: "I'm not a good person." I love money the most. ”

After that, she kept tapping the table with her fingers, and this small action fell in Ji Liren's eyes, and he smiled a little dotingly.

Tao Ziyi looked at him strangely and asked, "What, Ji ......" Remembering that Situ was still there, and he couldn't casually reveal Ji Liren's identity, Tao Ziyi immediately changed his words and said, "Ah Si, what did you think of?" ”

Ji Liren looked at Sui Ge and said, "She's thinking, and she will have a countermeasure soon." ”

After Situ Yuren glanced at Ji Liren lightly, and then looked at Sui Ge, he really found that her expression slowly became clearer, and she seemed to really think of some countermeasures.

After knocking on the song for about five or six minutes, he stopped, looked at everyone, and said: "I'm not sure if this disappearance case is necessarily related to the temple, but in the past few months, there have been frequent Buddhist incidents, and there happen to be disappearances of young girls in four states and counties, especially in Bianjing, and it happens that the Ziguang Temple in Bianjing is so famous, and there will be a Buddhist event in two days." I don't believe in chance, and I don't believe in so many coincidences. Since I have heard similar incidents, and we cannot find any analogues to other similar cases, we have to think about the worst aspects. I dare to guarantee that something will happen on the enlightenment day of Guanyin Bodhisattva in two days, and we will continue to pay attention to the news of the missing person in these two days, Ziyi, you used the token given to you by the Cai Governor to secretly dispatch some fast officials to observe the Ziguang Temple and the monks flowing in the market, and tell me any suspicious news. ”

Tao Ziyi nodded, but was still a little puzzled: "Why do you want to be secretly dispatched?" Shouldn't this matter be reported to the Prophet's Office or to the prefects of the counties of Bianjing? "Wouldn't it be more convenient for the government to send troops directly to observe?

Sui Ge raised a teacup in each hand, and one of the hands let go, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered. Sui Ge took the teacup in his hand and asked Tao Ziyi: "Why is that teacup broken, but this teacup is not broken?" ”

Ji Liren's eyes flashed, looking at Sui Ge, there seemed to be brilliance in his eyes.

Tao Ziyi pointed to the teacup and said, "Of course, it's because you haven't let go, your hand is holding it steadily, how can the teacup fall." Tao Ziyi still didn't understand.

Situ Muren shook his head, walked to the table from the window, sat down on the chair opposite Sui Ge, and explained: "The reason why the local tyrants and inferior gentry can do evil but not capsize is because there are officials behind them. If this is really the work of the temple monks, those who dare to be so blatant and fearless must be behind them. ”

Tao Ziyi let out a "ah", his face turned a little blue and sighed for a while.

How could she not know that this official is tired!

Sui Ge walked to the window, looked at the bustling market downstairs and looked deeply at it a few times, and then asked the three casually: "Do you say, do I look like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl?" ”

Everyone was stunned: "Huh? ”

That night, Tao Ziyi secretly transferred a few Bianjing catchers to come out and secretly instructed to keep an eye on the affairs of Ziguang Temple, and went to the East Market to buy two skirts of ordinary ladies, thought about it, and bought some rouge gouache and two hostas and two hostas and two fans, and then returned to the inn satisfied.

On the second day, Tao Ziyi went out to the market separately from Sui Ge, and secretly hugged Ruan Ruan and followed behind Tao Ziyi.

Tao Ziyi has his hair in a bun, wearing a grass-green Luo skirt, a jasmine-colored ribbon around his waist, bright eyes and bright teeth, fresh and moving. Looking at Sui Song again, part of the green silk on his head was coiled up by Tao Ziyi and inserted into a white hosta, and the remaining black hair was loosely draped on his shoulders. She was wearing a plain beige gauze skirt, with a few plum blossoms sporadically embroidered on the skirt, elegant and plain, and the whole person's temperament was 108,000 miles different from the usual light and cold.

Tao Ziyi also teasingly instructed Sui Song to walk the small lotus steps, and not to walk like the wind on weekdays. With the song frowning, she finally nodded, and Tao Ziyi stuffed a fan embroidered with green bamboo into her hand, causing her to almost lift her skirt and go back to the inn to change into a night outfit.

After finally persuading Sui Ge to focus on the overall situation, before going out, Tao Ziyi asked, "Why do we want to separate?" ”

Sui Ge glanced at the direction of the Cai Governor's Mansion and said: "Although Yin Dongsheng asked the Cai Governor's Mansion not to disclose my identity, there are many and mixed people, and there are many people who have seen you in the Mansion that day, and it is not excluded that there are people who recognize your appearance, and it is not excluded that the female arrester who was given the Eighth Rank Official in Zhengzhou is about to come to Bianjing to investigate the case has long been in the ears of others. She looked at Tao Ziyi and said earnestly: "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable." ”

Tao Ziyi nodded clearly. But after glancing at Ruan Ruan, who had a happy expression behind her, and her expressionless face, she wondered again: "Then why do you want to bring Ruan Ruan and them?" Won't you draw snakes? ”

Sui Ge shook his head, "As soon as Ruan Ruan can be used as a cover for your identity, it will be easier for people to accept it as a rich lady who takes her sister and guards out to go out for a lively walk." Second, Ruan Ruan likes to be lively, and after ......" pause, she smiled mysteriously and said, "With Ruan Ruan here, wouldn't it be good to follow secretly." ”

Tao Ziyi's ears were hot, her cheeks were slightly red, she stomped her feet, and said coquettishly: "It's not good." ”

With a smile and a smile, he raised his hand and took the lead in the direction of Dongshi.

Because Tao Ziyi was secretly following, there was no need to worry about her safety, so Situ Muren and Ji Liren followed closely behind Sui Ge.

Sui Ge's eyebrows were already good-looking, but now that the sun is rising, the warm sun is shining on her face, her eyebrows are lowered, her eyebrows are soft, and the people around her are looking at this young lady who suddenly appeared with some distraction. Along the way, most of the stalls with the song looked down at the surrounding stalls, some stall owners greeted her very warmly, she just smiled and waved her hand, others only felt that this young lady seemed to have something on her mind, but Ji Liren knew that she was a little impatient at this time.

After Situ and Ji Liren hid in the shadows of a high-rise house and secretly hit several salty pig hands with stones, Situ Muren said with an interesting face: "If I go down and pretend to meet her, you hide in the dark and stare at the suspicious person." ”

Ji Liren glanced at him and replied lightly: "Sui Ge doesn't like the original plan that has changed for no reason. ”

"Ah Si seems to be very familiar with Sui Ge?" Situ looked at Ji Liren with a smile.

Ji Liren didn't ignore it, and Sui Ge secretly turned around and kicked the person who deliberately bumped into her shoulder, but the person fell forward with a dog eating and grabbed the buttocks of the girl in front of him, and the scene fell into screaming and onlookers, and then left with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Retracting his gaze, Ji Licai replied calmly: "It's very familiar." However, the name Ah Si is not your name. With that, he flew towards the big banyan tree in front of him.

Situ Muren looked at his back expressionlessly, and snorted lightly before catching up.

The two talked leisurely along the road, but there was a sense of wind and rain coming, lightning and thunder in these words. It's just that I didn't hear the song at all when I was shopping below, and I just focused on doing what Tao Ziyi told the young young Ai to do - wandering around to see Jia Sichun.

After shopping, Sui Ge felt that she should stop and buy something to make her feel like a girl, so she stopped by a stall selling silver jewelry. This stall was opened by a middle-aged woman who seemed to be dressed in Miao service, and the stall owner saw that Sui Ge seemed to be interested in silver jewelry, and immediately greeted enthusiastically: "This young lady, come and see the silver jewelry!" These silver ornaments are made by the folks in our hometown one hand and one foot, the silver is pure, the style is beautiful, and many young ladies like it. After that, he picked up a bracelet inlaid with a few small emerald jade stones and handed it to Sui Ge, "This bracelet has a name, called the afterlife, and it really matches the temperament of the young lady!" ”

"Afterlife." With the song, he tasted this name carefully, and smiled lightly inadvertently.

The afterlife, indeed, is appropriate.
