Chapter 71: A Strange Disappearance

"I don't know that the adult has arrived, and he has collided with the adult, and I hope that the adult will forgive the sin!"

After reading Xu Zun's holy imperial edict and the official document of the state capital, the officer who had just come in hurriedly knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty to Xu Zun.

"Is there still a royal law!?" Xu Zun shouted excitedly, "A few of us just came in for a meal, but these ** didn't say a word, they pounced and beat us like mad dogs, but they broke us!"

"Do you know what the crime of beating up my Daxuantang Hall Seventh Rank Master should be? Isn't it tired and crooked? ”

"Huh!?" The officer trembled, and hurriedly pleaded, "Don't worry about them, this time it's definitely a misunderstanding, they really don't know that you are the one who sentenced you!" Don't blame those who don't know, please forgive them! ”

The officer apologized, and looked at the picture in front of him in a confused circle:

But seeing that the bearded man and the others had been beaten to the point that they were almost invisible, they were lying on the ground one by one and moaning in pain, and their condition was very miserable.

And Xu Zun and others are jumping around, talking and laughing, this ...... Who hit whom?

Zhao Yu and Huo Anu next to him also wiped cold sweat, feeling that Lord Xu's face was deep.

The one who came up and beat someone without saying a word, it seems that it was the three of them, right?

"Listen to what kind of you're talking about!?" However, Xu Zun didn't buy it, and scolded the officer with a righteous attitude, "I'm a sentencing master, this is a misunderstanding!"

"Then if I were just an ordinary person, I deserved to be beaten to death? I ask you, where is the king's law!? What is the reason of heaven!? ”

"This ......," the officer turned pale with fright, and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency has taught you the right lesson!" It's a lowly job that has no way to discipline and no way to discipline it! ”

"Also, don't be blind," Xu Zun said again, "You are harassing the people under the banner of searching for people and illegally collecting money." Guess what, I'll see Master Thorn Shi later, will I give you a little report? ”

"Huh!?" The officer hurriedly knelt down on his knees, buckled his head and pleaded guilty, "Raise the sentence, don't!" Ignorance of duty, the crime deserves death, ask for the grace of the adults, and the lowly duty will clean up the team, strict discipline, and never dare to happen again......"

Originally, according to the rules, the Daxuan Dynasty was also a separation of military and government, and Xu Zun could not restrain these soldiers.

However, after all, Tangzhou is a state official, and if it is really reported to the army, then these people will inevitably be severely punished, and may even be convicted and imprisoned.

"Well, the attitude is not bad! Get up first! ”

Xu Zun knew in his heart that if he really sued them, he would lose.

Since these soldiers dare to illegally collect money under the guise of looking for people, it means that their superiors must have acquiesced to it.

If you really tell them, you will only touch a nose of ash.

Therefore, it is better to accept it when it is good.

"Come on," the officer commanded, pointing to the four beaten men, "these fellows have discredited our team, and they will be punished by pulling down a heavy rod and forty military sticks, and anyone who dares to disturb the people will be severely punished!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers immediately stepped forward and pulled out the commanders, who had been beaten badly......

"Shopkeeper," the officer was very discerning, and immediately took out a piece of silver, and said to the shopkeeper of the restaurant, "Why don't you hurry up and bring your best wine and food to entertain the prisoner!" ”

"Okay, good ......" The shopkeeper knew that a senior official had come, and hurriedly went to the back kitchen to prepare the meal.

The guys also came forward to clean up the battlefield and clean up the mess with interest.

"My lord, it's a little meaning, it's not respectful, hehe......" The officer took out a money bag and tucked it into Xu Zun's arms.

"Woo ......" Xu Zun hurriedly stopped.

He also didn't expect that this soldier was so exaggerated that he would dare to openly bribe in public.

It can be seen that this style of bribery is not uncommon.

However, Xu Zun is measured, and this money must not be asked. If you want it, you will inevitably have endless troubles.

"This ......" The officer didn't expect Xu Zun to refuse, and he was embarrassed for a while.

"Come," Xu Zun motioned for the officer to sit down, and asked, "What is your name, and what position do you have?" Which team does it belong to? As long as you answer truthfully, I won't trouble you! ”

"Oh," the officer hurriedly replied, "Down there is the Shangyuan garrison, Wu Zhengran Lin of the 17th team." ”

Oh......

Xu Zun searched his memory, Wu Zheng was a position in the army, although he had no rank, he had at least two or three hundred people under his hands, and he had a certain amount of real power.

"You are searching in this Dahuai County, what are you looking for?" Xu Zun asked again.

"My lord," Ran Lin hurriedly replied, "The daughter of the Marquis of Changping is missing, and the lowly duty is responsible for searching Dahuai Town and nearby villages to find Miss Lu's whereabouts!" ”

"Oh......" Xu Zun asked again, "Do you know how Miss Lu, the Marquis of Changping, disappeared?" ”

"Five days ago, I was kidnapped by gangsters!" Ran Lin replied truthfully.

"What!?" Xu Zun was surprised, "Kidnapped? ”

"Won't it?" Zhao Yu was also shocked, "That's the daughter of the Hou Mansion, who is so bold?" ”

"Where were you taken captive?" Xu Zun asked again.

"Well...... this," Ran Lin hesitated.

"It's okay for you to say it," Xu Zunyan said, "You have already read the official document, this official came to Shangyuan City this time to investigate this case!" ”

"Oh," Ran Lin no longer hesitated, "Miss Lu was attacked and abducted by gangsters on the way home after school from Qinglan's study!" ”

"Study?" Xu Zun was curious, "Then Miss Lu doesn't have an escort?" ”

"The two palanquins, the two guards, and the personal maid were all stunned by the gangsters!" Ran Lin said.

"What's Miss Lu's name? How old is it? Xu Zun asked again.

"Lu Mingyue, 16 years old."

As he spoke, Ran Lin waved his hand at his soldiers, and the soldiers immediately handed over a pair of scrolls.

As the scroll opened, it revealed a portrait of a young and beautiful woman.

"We've never seen this Miss Lu," Ran Lin explained, "so I don't know if this portrait is real?" ”

"Okay," Xu Zun carefully looked at Lu Mingyue's portrait, and then asked Ran Lin, "Tell me about the study!" ”

"Qinglan Study is in Qinglan Temple, it is the only women's school in Shangyuan City, and the people who study there are all noble ladies in Shangyuan City." Ran Lin introduced, "Miss Lu has to go to the study twice a week to listen to lectures. ”

Oh......

Xu Zun searched for his memory, but he didn't expect that this Great Xuan Dynasty did have a relaxed policy for women and allowed women to study in the classroom.

"What do you usually talk about in the study?" Xu Zun asked again.

"Well, I don't know about it," Ran Lin shook her head, "I guess it's all about Dao Law or Dao Sutra or something, right?" ”

"Oh......" Xu Zun thought for a while and asked, "Then you have been searching for the past few days, and you have gained something?" ”

"Nope!" Ran Lin simply replied, "I didn't find anything, and after the gangster kidnapped the young lady, there was no news, as if the world had evaporated!" ”

How can it be......

Xu Zun tightened his eyebrows, already sensing that there was an abnormality in this case.

Since they dare to kidnap the daughter of the Hou Mansion, then this gang of gangsters must have a plan!

It stands to reason that five days have passed, and the ransom letter should have been received a long time ago, right?

Don't...... Not for wealth, but for revenge?

Or...... The Marquis of Changping had already received a ransom letter, but he was forced by pressure and did not know the official government?

Although he had not yet obtained all the information, Xu Zun already vaguely felt that the above two situations seemed unreasonable.

If you want revenge, the body should have been found a long time ago!

And if they are threatened with blackmail, Changping Hou will inevitably find a way to stop the search, and these soldiers will not be so fanfare.

The case...... Seems weird, huh?

"Huh?" At this time, Huo Anu remembered something and asked Ran Lin, "You said that you are the Shangyuan garrison, so who is the captain of your garrison?" ”

"Captain Zuo is Captain Yuan Xingtai of the military flag." Ran Lin replied.

"What about the right lieutenant?" Huo Anu asked.

"Captain Right is our direct boss," Ran Lin replied, "Captain Shen Xinglian ...... Jingwu"
