Chapter 40: Cases of Missing Persons
Lingtai County Ya, the courtyard is cold, someone is on duty, it is a middle-aged man, thin and thin, seeing someone coming, he looked coldly: "What is the name, report the case or what?" ”
Xu Hao smiled slightly: "Find someone." ”
The man raised his eyebrows: "What's your name, who are you looking for?" ”
"Xu Hao, I'm looking for Meng Yong."
"Lord Meng is not here, please go back."
As soon as the man heard Xu Hao's name, he immediately put away the only trace of politeness, there was no high-ranking official surnamed Xu in the city, and there was a family clan.
Xu Hao looked at the man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, and the other party's face was full of impatience.
Meng Yong is not there?
He didn't believe that the other party took away Xiaoyu's grandson, didn't he just come to coerce him.
Now that he is here, how can Meng Yong avoid it.
"Please report it, say I'm looking for him."
“?”
The guard on duty was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Young man, how can you be so bold, how dare you instruct me to do things?" Don't know the rules? ”
After speaking, he took out his hand.
Xu Hao looked at each other suspiciously, what does this mean?
"Money?"
Isn't a city and county government just doing things for the people?
Why is it so unscrupulous, and you have to collect money from the people when you spread the word, where do ordinary people get so much money to spend?
He has money, but doesn't want to give.
He looked at the man in front of him, not angry.
He has seen a lot of this situation, summed up his experience, and came to a conclusion: "Since the other party feels that he has no power and is fearless, then speak with practical actions." ”
Xu Hao looked around, took an iron rod from the side, weighed more than ten catties, and shook it in front of the guard's eyes: "What do you think of the quality of this thing?" ”
“?”
"Do you want to murder in front of the county yamen?"
The guards were shocked, Xu Hao was so young, he dared to be so bold, didn't he want to eat in prison?
He had seen some of the world, and he was unwilling to admit it, so he got up and said coldly: "What do you want?" I advise you not to be confused, Master Zhu can sit inside. ”
Thinking of the county magistrate, the guard seemed to have a Dinghai Divine Needle in his heart, and he was not afraid of Xu Hao, and looked at him coldly.
Xu Hao smiled, the other party misinterpreted his meaning, how could he be a wrongdoer, his fingers were slightly forced, and the iron rod in his hand slowly turned into slag.
He looked at the guard's stunned expression, raised his head, and a piece of powder fell to the ground, and there was a "bell" sound, which was very crisp.
"Are you sure you don't want to tell the story? Don't you want to try my strength? ”
Xu Hao smiled slightly, this was like a demon in the eyes of the other party.
The guard came back to his senses, knowing that the person in front of him was not something he could offend, and his face was bitter: "Young man...... No... My lord, it's not that I don't want to go, but Meng Zhutou is really not here, he went out this morning, and he hasn't come back yet..."
"Huh?"
Xu Hao looked puzzled, looking at the guards, helpless, not like he was lying.
Meng Yong is not in the county office, so where will he go back?
"Or maybe my reasoning is wrong, and it's not Meng Yong's person?" Xu Hao quickly deduced.
No, he offended this person when he came to the altar, oh no, maybe several people now.
"But Brother Liu Wen has just returned, the means should not be so fast, and they don't know about Xiaoyu's existence, even if they investigate, it will take time, it can't be so fast."
Xu Hao calculated that it could only be Meng Yong.
While he was thinking, the guards had already secretly gone inside to inform Zhu County Order.
Soon, surrounded by several of his subordinates, a slightly chubby man with a face like dough walked out, smiling all over his face, and seemed to be very kind.
"When the distinguished guest comes, Zhu has missed the welcome, and Your Excellency is the genius Xu Gongzi of Qianxin Yaju."
Zhu Xianling stepped forward enthusiastically and exclaimed: "Heroes are young people, what I said is true, I have long heard that Xu Gongzi helped me discipline my subordinates, and Zhu thanked me first." ”
Xu Hao looked at the man in front of him, he was no longer the immature teenager he was back then, the more talkative he seemed to be, the more he had the means.
It will not be easy to be a county magistrate.
Since Meng Yong didn't see it, now that there is a fog, maybe he can find a breakthrough from this Zhu Xianling.
"Xu Hao, a grass citizen, had an unintentional conflict with Meng Zhutou outside the city, and today the elders and sisters in the family are missing, and I heard that Meng Zhutou handled the case quickly, so he came here for help."
Xu Hao thought of a reason.
In this way, Zhu Xianling, as a parent official, at least on the surface, he can't refuse himself, he can slowly maneuver around and find out the news.
"Oh?"
Zhu Xianling pretended to be surprised, then his face was heavy, and he said, "I know what you think, you think it's Meng Zhutou who is in danger of your parents." ”
Xu Hao was a little surprised that the other party directly said what he thought, but he didn't speak, waiting for the other party to continue.
Zhu Xian Ling sighed, his face full of suffering: "Little nephew doesn't know, there has been a case of missing people in our county recently, which is very serious, and more than 20 people have disappeared for no reason. ”
Xu Hao was stunned, he really didn't know that there was such a thing, since he entered the city, he only saw a bustling area, and the streets were full of people, which was very lively.
I don't know if there is such a thing, even if it is a rumor.
Zhu Xianling seemed to know Xu Hao's thoughts, and continued to explain: "I know all those things about Meng Zhu's low hand, although he is not very good, not only greedy for money, but also bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, but there is no problem in business, so I have kept him." ”
"The disappearance case is a very important matter, I have reported it to the above, but there has been no response for a long time, I am helpless and suffering from this, so I pressed it a little, for fear of causing panic, but it should not be long before the people will know, because this case is still ongoing."
Xu Hao looked at the fat man in front of him and was puzzled.
"The case of missing persons should be real, and a little investigation can be known."
"Then the county government has nothing to gain at all?"
Xu Hao asked: "I observe that my predecessors are also cultivators, I'm afraid that the cultivation is still above me, can't even you find some clues?" ”
Zhu Xianling's aura was as calm as the sea, extremely restrained but not hidden, so he could feel that the other party should be a master of the Lingqiao realm.
Such a cultivation is not weak, if Zhu County's order is nothing, few people in this huge Lingtai City will be able to solve the case.
"I once secretly laid out, led that person out, fought with him, and found that his palm skills are very powerful, and his cultivation is still above me, it should be the middle stage of the Lingqiao, I am not an opponent, and I was defeated in the end."
Xu Hao looked at Zhu Xianling with a sad expression, not like he was lying, he faintly believed what the other party said in his heart, and he could confirm it by going out to the city and inquiring a little.
"And what are you going to do?"
After a moment of silence, Xu Hao decided to think long-term at this time.
Meng Yong will naturally continue to investigate, but he can't limit his eyes to one person, he also has to pay attention to the missing person case, in case it is the latter, then Xiaoyu and the others must be in crisis, and it is urgent to solve this case.
