The main hall of Tongyun Pavilion.

The little girl in a green dress lowered her head and gently lit the tea, and from time to time she lit some boiling in the teacup.

A layer of fine tea foam gradually floated on the turquoise tea soup, like a shallow cloud.

"It's almost time, go ahead." Li Yingmei lowered her eyes and commanded.

Mother Liu went out of the main hall, beckoned a few little maids to come to her and whispered a few words, and after a while, she sent all the little maids in the courtyard out.

"Girl, it's all arranged."

"Tell Liang Zheng to watch Chen'er." After Li Yingmei finished speaking, she got up and walked out of Tongyun Pavilion.

For a while, several little maids went to deliver letters to the lord of the Jiang family and a few young masters.

The fourth lady went out and did not return.

The first to receive the news was Liang Qingshu, who carefully interrogated the female envoy who came to deliver the letter and came to a conclusion.

At first, he didn't believe it, but the envoy in front of him was indeed dressed in his stepmother's yard.

"The fourth sister went out to play with Liang Gongzi and hasn't returned yet?"

"But Liang Gongzi has already returned?"

The little maid lowered her head and replied softly: "Yes, the third son, Liang Gongzi and the fourth lady were separated, and they didn't know the road in Yangzhou, so they had to find someone to guide them back to the house first." ”

"No one follows the fourth sister?" Hearing the news of Jiang Tao's disappearance, Jiang Qingshu stood up nervously.

It's almost midnight now, and I've been out for most of the day.

Although Jiang Qingshu likes to quarrel with Jiang Tao very much, after all, she is her sister, and she has been weak since she was a child, so she became anxious after confirming the news.

"Go find the second brother first!" As he spoke, Jiang Qingshu quickly ran towards the Bamboo Cultivation Courtyard.

Before he entered the door, he saw Jiang Qingyang hurriedly walking out with a few small servants behind him from a distance.

"Second brother! Did the second brother go to find the fourth sister? ”

"Hmm." Jiang Qingyang's eyebrows were tightly locked, the two of them understood, without pausing at all, and rushed to Yangzhou Street after meeting quickly.

A moment later, Jiang Qingfeng took Jiang Ling and the little guys in Li Yingmei's courtyard to the street.

The streets of Yangzhou, which were originally sleepy, suddenly became lively, and dozens of small servants stopped to inquire when they saw people on the street.

"Have you ever seen a little girl, so tall, with very fair skin, wearing a blue dress?" Jiang Qingshu anxiously described it according to the maid's message.

The short man in front of him instantly became nervous when he heard Jiang Qingshu's description, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Roll on, I haven't seen it, I've never seen it." ”

The short man said as he glanced at Jiang Qingshu and the family beside him from the corner of his eye.

Jiang Qingshu didn't expect to ask anything, but seeing the short man's performance, he felt very suspicious, so he carefully looked at the short man in front of him, only to see that he was covered with a lot of dirt and dust, a few holes in the hem, and a little blood on the placket.

The blood had dried up and had taken on a dark red color.

Looking at the suspicious man in front of him, an ominous premonition came to his heart, Jiang Qingshu stepped forward and grabbed the man's collar, and asked loudly: "Say, have you seen that girl!" ”

The man retreated in a panic, and the loud scolding attracted the onlookers around him.

"You little bunny, you let me go." When the short man saw that the situation was not good, he wanted to shake off the boy and slip away.

Today is really not going well, I didn't catch anything and was beaten, I was carried to the government by the person who looked like a guard, and I posted most of my savings before I was released after beating the board, and now my ass still hurts, and I came to find the girl again.

Of course he didn't dare to say that he had seen this girl and was beaten by her.

"Tell you the truth, haven't you seen it, the girl I'm talking about." Jiang Qingshu saw the man's appearance and strengthened his inner thoughts, and he had already raised his fist the size of a sandbag in front of the man's eyes.

"Young man, the girl you said has seen it, and she was beaten by this person!" A woman around said.

"Yes! Oh, yes! ”

"At that time, it was still two people who bullied that little girl together."

When the onlookers saw that the boy in front of them looked like they were doing a little kung fu, they suddenly had the confidence to provide Jiang Qingshu with information.

When the short man heard these words, he cried out in his heart, and the wall was really pushed by everyone.

"What nonsense are you guys talking about, when did I hit her! That's what she beat me! The short man exclaimed with a sense of pity.

Jiang Qingshu heard the words of the man in front of him, gritted his teeth and looked at him word by word and said, "Then you are admitting that you have seen her." ”

"What...... What ......" The man waited like Qingshu's fierce eyes, a little scared, trembling and speechless.

In the midst of panic, he did not choose to speak, which must be the truth.

Jiang Qingyang also rushed over when he heard the sound, and looked at Qingshu carrying a dirty man, still clenching his fists, and his eyes were about to eat people, and he understood something at the moment.

"Second brother! He's seen the little sister! Jiang Qingshu's words were full of eagerness and worry, he was very worried about what would happen to Jiang Tao.

When the man heard that Jiang Qingshu was coming to help, he immediately began to admit it: "The two masters, I don't know Taishan, I beg the two masters, just let me go as a fart!" ”

Qingyang also noticed the blood stains on the man's body, and frowned and glanced at Zhu Qing.

Zhu Qing, who was usually dull, instantly understood Jiang Qingyang's meaning, strode forward, pinched the man's index finger and broke it back.

"Click"

With a crisp sound, there was a pig-killing cry: "Whew! Zhu Qing looked at the man in front of him steadily.

The surrounding onlookers were also in an uproar, and subconsciously retreated.

After a while, quite a few people began to whisper.

"Well deserved."

Just for a moment, a greasy bead of sweat appeared on the man's face.

"I know, I know, I say! I say! Oh! The man twisted and said, his right index finger weirdly cocked out of his palm.

"I've seen it, I've seen it." The man cried and said incoherently, "Today at noon, I'...... I met the girl. ”

"Click"

Zhu Qing quietly retreated behind Jiang Qingyang.

The fingers turned out in two, accompanied by a wail of pain.

"It's me! I was caught stealing something by that girl! The man cried out at the top of his voice, "That girl and her accomplices, oh no, friend, beat us!" ”

"What about her!" Jiang Qingyang asked coldly.

"I don't know! I really don't know! ”

Seeing that Zhu Qing was about to step forward again, the man cried and knelt on the ground, kowtowing in a panic: "I really don't know!" Uncle, don't break it, there are no more than two! ”

"The three of them beat me and sent me to the government, I really don't know anything!"

The man's snot and tears were mixed together, and a few drops of unknown liquid were thrown onto Jiang Qingshu's feet.

Jiang Qingshu frowned, bared his teeth and took a few steps back, busy rubbing on the ground.

"Where did you hit you?" Jiang Qingyang asked loudly.

Seeing that Zhu Qing took another step forward, the man kneeling on the ground kowtowed even harder, and there was a little blood on his forehead.

"Just south of the teahouse at the end of the street, if I tell a lie, I will cut off my children and grandchildren, and I will have no asshole!" The man cried and wailed, "Let me go!" ”

Zhu Qing still walked over, pinched the man's hand and "clicked" twice, and then followed Jiang Qingyang and hurriedly ran to the corner of the street.

The man was about to cry, but was pleasantly surprised to find that his hand had recovered.
