Chapter 110: Xu Saburo is missing
That person had an impression of Cheng Xi, because Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi were very good, and he was very envious of Xu Wenyu at that time, there was such an excellent pair of nephews and nephews, plus Cheng Xi was originally very pleasant, and that person had a good impression of Cheng Xi.
Seeing that Cheng Xi looked anxious, the man said very enthusiastically, "But what's the matter?" Your fourth uncle happened to be absent today, and he had something to do when he returned to his hometown early in the morning, so he hasn't come yet. If anything, tell me the same. ”
"Did you go home early in the morning? Are you sure you're home? ”
The man replied, "Of course, he said hello to me when he left, so will this be fake?" If you have something to do, you can tell me about it, and maybe I can help. ”
Cheng Xi lowered his head and pondered for a while before raising his head and saying, "It's nothing, thank you." ”
Then he quickly turned and left.
When Cheng Xi found Yu Zhaocai, Yu Zhaocai was inspecting one of his gambling houses, and when he saw Cheng Xi who was brought by his family at the door, he looked anxious and asked suspiciously, "Xiao Xi'er, why is it so urgent, you actually found here?" Do you miss big brother? ”
Cheng Xi was still in the mood to laugh with Yu Zhaocai, and said directly, "Xu Sanlang is gone, I'll come to you to ask, has he come to you?" Do you see him today? ”
Yu Zhaocai looked at Cheng Xi's solemn expression, and also put away his hanger, no longer talking nonsense, and shook his head suspiciously, Cheng Xi saw Yu Zhaocai's expression and knew that Yu Zhaocai was afraid that he didn't know at all, but now in this situation, I am afraid that only Yu Zhaocai can help a little, so he opened his mouth to tell what happened today.
After listening to Cheng Xi's words, Yu Zhaocai replied suspiciously, "With such a big pomp and escort of officers and soldiers, in our Anyang County, except for the county master, there is no one else, right?" But it's a little impossible, how could Xu Saburo deal with the county order? ”
Cheng Xi also felt that it could not be a county order, he and Xu Sanlang had never dealt with the county order, and Xu Sanlang's fourth uncle Xu Wenyu is said to be a celebrity around the county order now, and Xu Sanlang is not a big person, even if he really wants to see Xu Sanlang, it is impossible for the county order to meet Xu Sanlang alone.
If the county order really wants to see Xu Sanlang, he will definitely call Xu Wenyu together, or let Xu Wenyu go directly to call someone, but Xu Wenyu returned to his hometown early in the morning.
At this time, Cheng Xi was also confused, where did Xu Sanlang go? So who is the so-called nobleman?
Yu Zhaocai also felt a little incredible, he had known Xu Sanlang Cheng Xi for so long, and he probably knew the situation of the two, and he always felt that what Cheng Xi said was a little unlikely, so he said, "Could it be that the old lady opposite your house has the wrong eyes?" I'll go back with you to take a look, maybe Brother Xu just went out for a walk, and he has already gone back at this time. ”
Cheng Xi nodded, but he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
The group went back to the courtyard of the vegetable market again, and the Liu Butcher's family on the opposite side had already returned from the market, and the old lady of the Wen family on the opposite side had not left, but Xu Sanlang had never returned.
Cheng Xi asked the old lady Wen carefully, but she got an affirmative answer again, Yu Zhaocai was also on the side, looking at the energetic and shrewd old lady, the affirmative tone didn't seem like the old lady was dazzled and wrong.
At this time, Cheng Xi was also a little anxious, and he didn't know what to do, who were those people, and where did he take Xu Sanlang? Why didn't Xu Saburo even leave a message for himself?
Yu Zhaocai saw Cheng Xi's anxious appearance, and opened his mouth to persuade, "Brother Xu is not a child anymore, will you think too much?" It's only half a day, maybe it's just going out for something, and I'll be back in a while. ”
Cheng Xi shook his head decisively, "Impossible, first of all, the group of people who came to the door were very strange, as far as I know, Xu Sanlang didn't know such a person at all, and secondly, Xu Sanlang was a very careful person, there was no one in the family, and it was impossible to leave the courtyard door wide open, and the door would leave without locking." Unless something happens, there's no time to lock the door. ”
Yu Zhaocai listened to Cheng Xi's analysis, and didn't speak again, in the end, he was still calmer than Cheng Xi thinking about countermeasures, since Xu Sanlang's disappearance was related to those people, as long as he found those people first, he would definitely be able to find clues or find Xu Sanlang.
There must have been a lot of people who noticed such a big battle, and it just so happened that he had enough eyeliners in the county town, so it shouldn't be difficult to find those people, so he called his subordinates and ordered him to go down and inquire where the carriage in Mrs. Wen's mouth went.
After that, she could only wait for the news, Cheng Xi was completely out of idea at this time, she found that something really happened, it turned out that she was so powerless.
Yu Zhaocai only sent his subordinates to inquire, and he stayed with Yue'er, who sat beside Cheng Xi and comforted Cheng Xi not to worry, as long as he was in Anyang County, his son-in-law would definitely be able to find Xu Sanlang.
She didn't know that there were some things, even if Yu Zhaocai could call the wind and rain in Anyang County, there was no way to do it.
After a while, there was a knock on the courtyard door outside, Cheng Xi's eyes lit up, and he quickly got up and went to open the courtyard door, but after opening the courtyard door, Cheng Xi was disappointed, not Xu Sanlang, but Xu Wenyu, followed by Xu Lan.
As soon as Xu Lan saw Cheng Xi, she exclaimed happily, "Third sister-in-law." ”
Cheng Xi nodded listlessly, and beckoned someone to enter the door first, Xu Lan saw Cheng Xi's face, so she didn't dare to make a sound, thinking that Cheng Xi didn't want to see her.
After entering the house, Xu Wenyu saw that Yu Zhaocai was actually there, and he was very happy when he was surprised, and stepped forward to greet Yu Zhaocai with a smile, but Yu Zhaocai was not very impatient to deal with it, so Cheng Xi Xu Sanlang's elders still gave a little face, and agreed perfunctorily and casually, and then stopped paying attention to Xu Wenyu, looking like he didn't want to talk to him more, and Xu Wenyu didn't want to continue to talk, so as not to be bored.
Xu Wenyu is very good at observing words and feelings, and originally planned to tell Yu Zhaocai that he would entrust Xu Lan to him, but after seeing the beautiful maid next to Yu Zhaocai, and seeing Yu Zhaocai's attitude again, he stopped and swallowed the words back.
I'm afraid it's better not to open your mouth for this matter, and it's better to let Cheng Xi arrange it.
Xu Lan is not like before, An An is a lot, after seeing Yu Zhaocai, although her face is slightly red, it is rare that there are no other excessive actions, An An stood behind Xu Wenyu separately.
Yue'er's aura changed when she saw Xu Lan, unlike the gentle and considerate and lovely little Lori before, standing behind Yu Zhaocai with a cold face, always paying attention to Xu Lan to prevent her from making any moves, after all, this woman had coveted his son-in-law before.
The result was that she thought too much, and Yue'er didn't expect that the woman who had beaten her own son-in-law's idea actually only glanced at her own son-in-law, lowered her head with a slightly red face, and stood behind Xu Wenyu obediently, and then stopped raising her eyes to look at them.
Cheng Xi thought that Xu Wenyu might know any news, so he asked, "Fourth uncle, do you know where Xu Saburo went?" ”
Xu Wenyu then remembered that he didn't seem to see Xu Sanlang, and asked suspiciously, "San Lang is not at home?" Didn't he tell you when he went out? ”
Cheng Xi looked at Xu Wenyu's also puzzled expression, so he told Xu Wenyu about the matter, and also analyzed with Xu Wenyu that Xu Sanlang might not go out by himself, and then said anxiously, "Fourth uncle, could it be the county master?" ”
Xu Wenyu shook his head decisively, "Impossible, my lord has a case to deal with today, and why did he come here to find San Lang?" ”
"Does the fourth uncle know that there are other nobles in this county?"
"I want to think about it." Xu Wenyu lowered his head and began to ponder about this, such a noble person is looking for Xu Sanlang, there are carriages and officers and soldiers escorting, there seems to be no such person in this county.
Xu Wenyu's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart, "Could it be someone from the Zhao family in that Moon City?" "Except for the Zhao family, Xu Wenyu really can't think of anyone else.
With a guess in his heart, of course Xu Wenyu would not let go of such an opportunity, raised his head and said, "I'm afraid there are no such people in this county, but I can go and check and see if there are any nobles in our county in the past two days." You don't have to worry too much, you may not know if it is a blessing or a curse. ”
Cheng Xi responded, "Then there is Fourth Uncle Lao." ”
Xu Wenyu waved his hand, "My family is polite, your business is not also my business, I will go first, and I will inform you when there is news." ”
Seeing that Xu Wenyu was leaving, Xu Lan was a little at a loss, not knowing whether to leave with the fourth uncle first or stay.
Xu Wenyu stood up and said goodbye to Yu Zhaocai, and when he turned around, he saw Xu Lan who was still standing behind him, so he said, "You stay with your third sister-in-law first and help cook." ”
Xu Lan obediently responded, and waited until Xu Wenyu left before she said to Cheng Xi, "Third sister-in-law, where is the stove house, I'll go make dinner." ”
Cheng Xi looked at the sky outside, thinking that it was useless to be anxious, the meal still had to be eaten, so he stood up and said to Yu Zhaocai Crescent, "You sit for a while, let's go make dinner." ”
Out of the door, Cheng Xi pointed out the location of the kitchen to Xu Lan, and went to the Liu family on the opposite side first, and stayed quietly at the Liu family at this time, watching Liu Butcher's father and son settle accounts, and when he saw Cheng Xi coming, he quickly rushed towards Cheng Xi and hugged Cheng Xi's thigh.
When Butcher Liu saw Cheng Xi coming, he beckoned Cheng Xi to sit and asked, "But what's the news?" Is the family gone? ”
Cheng Xi shook his head and responded, "Not yet, let people inquire, please help bring him to the hundred-year-old, I'll take him back first, hundred-year-old, thank you Uncle Liu." ”
The hundred-year-old responded obediently, "Thank you, Uncle Liu." ”
Butcher Liu responded, "You're welcome, you don't have to worry, maybe San Lang has something to do when he goes out, and he will come back later." ”
Cheng Xi nodded, went out with Bai Sui and went back, let Bai Sui stay in the house with Yu Zhaocai Yue'er, and then went to the kitchen to cook dinner with Xu Lan.
Xu Lan looked at Cheng Xi absent-mindedly, she must have been worried about the third brother, so she asked, "Third sister-in-law, could it be that you offended someone when you were in the county seat?" ”
