Aunt Jiang was so surprised that she forgot to cry: "Dabao's legs and feet are not good, but I have saved enough money to take him to the doctor." If you say that you take acupuncture and medicine, you can still look good, and I want my big treasure back. She realized that the person in front of her might really be able to help her find the child, so she suddenly knelt down facing Gu Changming, and knocked her head seventeen or eight times in a row, and the movements were so fast that Gu Changming didn't have time to stop them, and it was already a head of blood, "Gu Gongzi, I only have one child, please, I beg you." ”
"Report to the police." Gu Changming still insisted that if a child who had been missing for three days had not been taken away from the closed mansion, there was still hope that he could be found by reporting to the official in time. If it were just a few of them, it would definitely be more than enough to do it, unless the purpose of the child's arrest could be found.
"I, I don't dare to report to the official." Aunt Jiang looked panicked, and when she heard the word "report to the official" like most of the ordinary people, she couldn't wait to stay away, "I don't have any extra money, even if I report to the official, those officials won't help me." ”
"I'll take you." Gu Changming dragged Aunt Jiang up with one hand, "If you want to get Dabao back, just do as I say." ”
Aunt Jiang gritted her teeth, in order to find Dabao, she saw the official when she saw the official, and she was out of the way: "But our family is not in Kaifeng Mansion, but in Fulan Village outside the city, where are we going to report to the official?" ”
Gu Changming lowered his head and thought, Fulan Village belongs to Lankao County, if you report to the official, you must go to the Lankao County Ya first, and you can't skip the level to Kaifeng Mansion: "Then go to the Lankao County Ya first." ”
"Let's go together." Liu Zhuxue didn't want to be stuffed in the yard at all, so she turned around and went back to the house to get her snowmelt sword.
Dai Guozi rubbed to Gu Changming's side and whispered: "You just take her with you, so as not to calm down and talk about stupid things about becoming a monk." ”
"Will you go along, then?" Gu Changming asked Dai Guozi in his mouth, but when he raised his eyes, it was the little phoenix, "If you want to stay at home, don't force it." ”
"I promised my godfather that he would do what he said, and of course I will be by your side at any time. You can't get rid of me if you want to. Dai Guozi said with a sly smile, wanting to investigate the case with Miss Liu alone, how could he allow such a thing to happen.
"If only you could have this heart." Gu Changming saw Aunt Jiang beside him in a daze, "Where is the big monk you are talking about?" ”
"Just now I said that it is not a great monk." Dai Guozi is very curious, is it a monk from Pufa Temple?
"It's not, Ah Zhi has never been out of the house, he just ......" Gu Changming's brows furrowed, and he looked up at the wall not far away.
The little phoenix had already swept out of his sight, and there was clearly a person sitting on the wall, and it was a fat man with a tall and strong body.
"Gu Changming, the Gu family has always been cold, except for you, who is Old Man Gu. There are so many more people today, and there are two young girls among them. The fat man riding on the wall sighed, "If Old Man Gu sees it, he should be very pleased." Didn't he worry that you would become a monk sooner or later, I didn't look like it. ”
"Achi, you come down for me." As soon as the words came out of Gu Changming's mouth, the little phoenix made a move. She was tied with an inconspicuous ribbon around her wrist, and when her internal force was pressed, it turned directly into a weapon, like a rope and a poisonous snake, and slammed into Achi's neck.
Ah Zhi didn't expect to look at the harmless little phoenix to attack so ruthlessly, accurately, and quickly, unable to avoid it, and his body was bulky. One balance was not well controlled, and he fell off the courtyard wall with his head down. Seeing that he was about to fall on his back, at the moment when he was about to touch the ground, Achi's figure became extremely flexible, twisted and folded in mid-air, and stood firmly on the ground with both feet.
The little phoenix was not surprised in the slightest, he was able to easily climb the courtyard wall, how could a person who had not yet been discovered be just a bulky fat man.
Although Ah Zhi didn't fall, he stood with his hands on his hips, and his posture was as steady as Mount Tai: "I said that you are a delicate little girl, and your heart is so hard." I almost broke my neck just now, and you didn't even blink an eye! ”
The little phoenix pursed her lips and didn't speak, she is now a send-by-side, of course, she obeys Gu Changming's words. Otherwise, he will have to drive people out again, and there will be no one to say half a good word for her.
Aunt Jiang recognized Ah Zhi and stumbled over: "Great monk, he is the one who told me to come here to find the son of the Gu family." ”
Gu Changming raised his forehead and sighed, if you are not bald in this world, you must be a monk. Although Ah Zhi looks blessed and kind, after all, he is not wearing a robe. So when he saw Gu Changming looking over, he hurriedly shirked and said, "I didn't tell this aunt that I was a monk, she misunderstood, and she can't blame me." ”
Dai Guozi saw Ah Zhi standing in the middle, he could completely block his vision, and he couldn't see Gu Changming's expression at this time: "Don't care if it's a monk or not, if you say that you want to report to the official, hurry up, and wait for the old ones." "Those things that have a headache and brain fever Liu Zhuxue coincidentally came to a fake monk. The others are okay, if Liu Zhuxue's heart is cold and he wants to become a monk, he will not finish with this Achi.
Several people walked out of the door of Gu's house in a row, and Ah Zhi walked slowly at the back. Gu Changming squinted at him: "You have never liked to see officials, so you don't have to reluctantly follow along." ”
Ah Zhi grinned and said: "You still know me, didn't I see that you just came back, incubated at home and didn't go out, I want to find something for you to do to relieve your boredom." ”
"Just say whatever you want." Gu Changming has known this person for more than a day or two, just looking for a lost child, and he will not guide Aunt Jiang to the door of Gu's house to cry and make trouble, "You taught that woman, for fear that I would ignore it." ”
"No, no." Ah Zhi hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, "I saw her crying pitifully on the street, so I wanted to help a little." But I have more than enough heart but not enough power, and what I think about is the most suitable for you. And as far as I know, her child isn't the only one who has gone missing recently. ”
Gu Changming's eyebrows frowned: "How many do you know?" ”
"Three or five, I'm not sure yet, not every family is as persistent as her, and they all go to cry and shout wherever they can find nearby." Ah Zhi touched the big bald head, "Some really don't take it seriously, I thought that the child was far away, and the kittens and dogs would come back sooner or later." ”
"I see, you're going to do your own business." Gu Changming saw Ah Zhi's shy face, and immediately understood, "When will your gambling problem be changed, you will never have spare money at hand, it is difficult for you to grow a body of meat if you are not full of food and drink." ”
Having said that, Gu Changming still gave him two pieces of money: "Save some expenses, ordinary people can use it for a long time." ”
Ah Zhi took the money, where was he still idle, and he ran fast: "If you win the money back, I will definitely pay you back." ”
Dai Guozi was amazed when he looked at it next to him: "You still make such a friend, your father won't stop you if he knows about it." This kind of rotten gambler, if you give him money, it will be a meat bun and a dog with no return, and it will not be able to fill the bottom of the pit. ”
Gu Changming smiled slightly: "He knows all these truths you said, and he can't change them." As soon as he turned around, he saw the little phoenix looking thoughtfully in the direction where Ah Zhi left, "If he loses weight, he will be stronger than you." ”
When the little phoenix heard this, he snorted twice and said, "It's no wonder that he can lose weight in this life." ”
Liu Zhuxue always stood aside and listened to them, I don't know why the mood was much better, and comforted Aunt Jiang softly and said that she had reported to the official, naturally there were many officials who would help find Dabao together, maybe it would take less than a day for the child to come back.
Her voice is gentle, and she is beautiful and virtuous, and it is easy to be convinced to do this kind of comforting work. Aunt Jiang was next to Liu Zhuxue, almost not leaving.
Dai Guozi stuffed the three women into the carriage and drove the carriage by himself, Gu Changming rode a horse, turned around and asked, "Who is the county magistrate of Lankao County, do you recognize it?" ”
"Qiu Yusheng, who only took office a year ago, has no intersection." Gu Changming was thinking about what Ah Zhi said, not only Dabao was lost. If so, how many children were taken, where were they taken, and what were they done?
But when this happens, it probably won't be a good thing. Dai Guozi has been doing fast hunting in Quyang County for a few years, and he knows a little about this kind of thing, so he originally wanted to ask Gu Changming, are these children alive or dead? I was afraid that Aunt Jiang in the car would hear it, so it was really troublesome to turn around and be frightened and cry.
Along the way, everyone was silent, except for the sound of wheels and horses' hooves, no one was in the mood to speak. Gu Changming led the way, and the carriage stopped in front of the Yamen of Lankao County.
Gu Changming jumped off the horse and walked straight in, but the officials on both sides had not yet reacted, and were stopped by Dai Guozi with a smile: "Isn't this an urgent matter to report to the official, the bitter master is still in the car." ”
"If there's an emergency, you can't fail to report it." The official glanced at Dai Guozi, and looked at the demeanor of his speech, as if he was his own person, "Where are you?" ”
"The younger brother is from Quyang County, and they are all the same." Dai Guozi stopped the carriage and asked Aunt Jiang to come down, waiting for Liu Zhuxue and the little phoenix to appear, the eyes of the two officials were straight, and they were reluctant to blink.
"Which one is the bitter master, this or that?" The fingers dangled between the two beauties, but they didn't touch Aunt Jiang.
"This aunt is the bitter master." Dai Guozi put one hand behind his back and let them all go in first, and he would take care of the aftermath here. At this time, he especially misses the style of the Quyang County Ya, even if he is usually lazy and lazy, he can't be sloppy when doing serious things, otherwise Lord Sun doesn't care who it is, he will give a lesson to his head and face, and he will be beaten with a stick if he makes a big fuss.
Gu Changming walked in, the county government was not promoted, and the county officials were generally seated in the back. When he saw Qiu Yusheng, Qiu County Ling was reading a book. In a blink of an eye, there was a long-standing and jade boy standing in front of him, his heart was shocked, and the book in his hand shook to the ground: "Who are you, dare to break into the backyard of the county government, come here!" ”
"The grass people came to report to the official, and no one answered in front, so they came in directly and met the adults." Gu Changming didn't bother to explain his identity from the beginning, and took out a sign and put it on the corner of the table in front of Qiu Yusheng's eyes.
