For several days, nothing happened.

It's just that there is a peasant man in the next county town, who is five big and three thick, and as soon as he enters the city, he runs to the palace.

Without saying a word, let's beat the drum first!

The Great Moon Country is ruled by a divided city.

In Bian Zhou City, it should be the lord of Ning City, followed by the dead Prince Lin, and those prefects, governors and overseers can only go to the back.

Of the four mansions in the southeast, northwest and northwest, the man didn't go anywhere, but went straight to the outside of the city lord's mansion.

Knock Knock Knock –

The drums beat melodiously, and people passing by couldn't help but look sideways.

The man knocked for a long time, but the central yamen was not opened, and finally someone kindly reminded: "Brother, if you want to report the case, you have to go to the east, west, north and south of the city to report first." This yamen only accepts difficult and miscellaneous cases! ”

Ergou wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Thank you big brother for reminding me." It's just that my case has some connection with the City Lord's Mansion. If you go to another government, I'm afraid it will be difficult to accept. ”

These two dogs are Xiu'er's second brother. I received the letter yesterday and came overnight.

"Something to do with the city lord?"

"Listen to him like a foreigner, not a local."

"Hey, look, someone from the government has come out!"

Everyone was talking, and as soon as the gate of the yamen opened, the head catcher at the head of the group looked serious: "Who is beating the drum here?" ”

Ergou hurriedly bowed: "Adult, the villain wants to report to the official." ”

"What?"

"Sister Xiu'er, she has been missing for four days and is gone." Ergou reported honestly, "I hope the adults can help the villain and send someone to find my sister." ”

The head catcher frowned unhappily: "It's only been four days since I disappeared." You go to another yamen first and write a notice to find the missing person. If there is still no news on the 15th, you will report to the official. ”

In this huge Bian Zhou City, people often go missing.

If the catchers in the yamen had to help find people all the time, then they wouldn't have to do anything.

Finding someone is time-consuming and laborious, and most of the missing children, as well as women, have run away from home and come back on their own in a few days at most.

Seeing that the head catcher was about to leave, Ergou hurriedly pulled the sleeve of the head catcher: "My lord! My sister-in-law is the concubine of the daughter of the city lord. ”

The head catcher originally wanted to close the door and leave, but the catcher next to him also lowered his voice: "I heard that the eldest lady has been fighting with a son surnamed Li in the past few days. ”

Ergou nodded again and again: "My sister-in-law is Li Gongzi's concubine!" The place where she disappeared was the county lord's mansion where Li Gongzi lived! ”

"Sss Catching his head until he took a breath of cool air.

Now, he doesn't know whether to handle the case or not.

After all, it was a relative, Ning Tongtong and Lear were close, if they didn't investigate, it would reach Ning Tongtong's ears, and it would be difficult for them to do it.

Thinking of this, the head catcher had no choice but to nod with a calm face: "Okay, you write a complaint first, and we will take someone to the county lord's mansion to investigate." ”

Ergou nodded gratefully: "Hey, thank you, sir!" ”

Seeing this, those onlookers sneered: "It depends on the relationship." ”

A few catchers had no light on their faces, and expelled the crowd with cold faces.

"Go, go!"

"What do you have to do, I will arrest you all carefully!"

The crowd dispersed.

Lear, who was hiding in the crowd, already had a black face.

He had originally made an appointment with Ning Tongtong to go horseback riding in the suburbs today, but as soon as he came over, he heard about it.

The head catcher saw him at a glance, and hurriedly smiled and arched his hand: "Li Gongzi, this is really talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived." It just so happens that I have a case here that concerns you. ”

He saw Ergou's face dazed, raised his chin and introduced, "Well, this Li Gongzi is the Li Gongzi who accepted your sister." ”

Ergou suddenly realized.

His family was poor, so he had no choice but to sell his little sister Xiu'er into Manjiang Building.

Since then, his father and mother have never come to Bian Zhou City to see Xiu'er, and even he has not entered the city because of guilt - the silver that Xiu'er sold himself in exchange for to feed him and the whole family, and only occasionally asked someone to bring some food to Xiu'er.

A few months ago, I heard that Xiu'er had been ransomed, and they also sent their family's only dozens of red eggs.

In the middle, there has been an exchange of letters, and I don't know what Li Gongzi, who took a concubine, looks like.

"Are you...... Xiu'er's brother? Lear pretended not to know and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Ergou had a good impression of the man who ransomed his sister-in-law, so he cried.

"Someone sent me a letter saying that Xiu'er had been missing for four days! Li Gongzi, you are my sister's man, and you are also my brother-in-law. Do you know where my sister went? ”

Lear's eyelids jumped, and his eyes twinkled with horror.

When he did those things, only Mrs. Li was there. But Mrs. Li is his own mother, and she is illiterate, so it is impossible to write to Ergou.

His eyes darkened, and his hand hanging down his sleeve clenched into a fist.

There is only one person, and that is Yushan!

At this time, the head catcher also found something strange: "Li Gongzi, Xiu'er has been missing for so many days, why don't you come to report to the official?" ”

Not only did he not report to the official, but he even often came to Ning Tongtong these days.

The Zhongfu Ya and the City Lord's Mansion are actually connected, and there is only a corridor and a small door in the middle.

Therefore, every time Lear came to Ning Tongtong, he went directly from the mansion, after all, it was the closest and most convenient to the county lord's mansion.

Lear pretended to be shocked: "Impossible, Xiu'er told me five days ago that she hadn't been home for several years and wanted to go home for two months." How could this be missing? ”

He frowned tightly and showed a puzzled look: "Uncle, did you just pass by Xiu'er?" The people of Bian Zhou City live and work in peace and contentment, and it is unlikely that we will encounter danger. ”

When the head catcher heard this, he also nodded approvingly: "Indeed." ”

But Ergou said: "Bian Zhou City is away from our village, and it is a day's journey at most. Even if she set off four days ago, she stopped and stopped all the way, and at most she would have arrived home the day before yesterday! ”

"Maybe it did happen on the way." The head catcher looked serious, "Gongzi Li, please take us on a trip." ”

"This ......," Lear was a little embarrassed, "but Miss Ning and I made an appointment to go horseback riding in the suburbs. If it's delayed, I'm afraid the eldest lady will be angry. ”

When is it, and I still want to have an appointment with others.

Ergou suddenly felt that this brother-in-law was so annoying.

He thought about it carefully, as soon as this kid appeared just now, he did everything possible to prevent the arrest of the head and investigate the case, isn't it, Xiu'er's disappearance has something to do with him?

As soon as he thought of this, Ergou was not calm.

"Li Gongzi, when is it, why do you still want to play in the mountains and rivers?" Ergou was indignant, "People say that a husband and wife are a hundred days a day." Although my sister is not the main house, she is also your person, right? Now that she's gone, why are you so calm? ”

At this moment, the headcatcher's inquiring eyes also fell on Lear.

Just when Lear didn't know how to explain, Ning Tongtong walked out.

She is wearing a strong suit today, and she has a horsewhip pinned to her waist, which looks heroic, but she also looks even more arrogant.

"What are so many people doing here?"
