Chapter 12: The Apricot Dies

The people in the hall were all looking at the three of them, and the task of reporting their home naturally fell on Starry Night.

After understanding, I realized why everyone was arguing.

It turned out that just last night, another man disappeared.

The man was the third son under the knee of the eldest princess, and the audience called him Yi Gongzi.

It is said that when Yi Gongzi came back from the street yesterday, he already looked flustered, saying that someone was trying to harm him, so he packed his luggage in a hurry, planning to leave the tea city early this morning.

In the search department, it was heavily guarded, Yu Siyong and the Seven Kings in case of accidents, and yesterday they even sent more people, and there were six guards standing at the door of Yi Gongzi's room alone, and this posture should not be able to fly in a fly.

But who would have thought that early this morning, Yi Gongzi would still disappear.

The fact that a big living person can disappear out of thin air under the noses of so many people can be described as a crime against the wind.

The reason for the argument is a little laughable.

Some people suspect that there are internal thieves in the search department, and suspicion and suspicion turn into infighting.

Some people suspected that it was the guards' negligence that failed to catch the person who kidnapped Yi Gongzi.

There are also some people who remind everyone not to forget that last night, they also went out to squat in all corners of the search department in order to catch the people who committed the crime against the wind.

In Ji Guangnian's opinion, their ideas are quite naΓ―ve, and before they saw the enemy, they started fighting internally, and they really thought that the ministers and officials sent by the imperial court were easy to fool? They are still arguing about it.

The three of them no longer listened to the nonsense of those people, but read the file directly.

According to the dossier, there were 75 missing persons, unmarried men and women over the age of 16, all of whom were handsome.

At first, the number of missing people was as high as two people a month, but this phenomenon lasted for three months and gradually increased.

These missing persons have basically made detailed case records, except for Yi Yunjun, who disappeared last night, which was not recorded, and Zhao Keer, a young lady of the Zhao family who is engaged in the tea business, only mentioned two sentences slightly.

The problem that Ji Guangnian can still discover, Mo Xingli and Starry Night have naturally also discovered.

Mo Xingli asked directly: "Is the file authentic, but there are still omissions?" ”

What do you mean by that? Is there anyone who has a private dossier? ”

"Are you questioning Lord Shaoqing and the Seventh Prince?"

"Young people have no ability, but their attitude is arrogant."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

In the face of everyone's condemnation, Mo Xing was expressionless.

The Seven Kings and Yu Siyong glanced at each other, and King Rui said slowly: "What does Shaoxia mean?" This case has gone straight through the hands of this king and Yu Shaoqing, do you mean that we are cheating? ”

"I'm not you, how do I know!"

The crowd condemned again.

Mo Xingli is obviously not the master of people's faces, and he is too lazy to listen to their nonsense, and he is about to leave when he sees that he can't ask any famous people.

Yu Siyong didn't care about his arrogant attitude, and capable people had some tempers.

King Rui was a little unhappy, and got up and blocked his way directly.

Mo Xingli said bluntly: "Our trip is to take on the mission of the sect, not to serve your royal family." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Mo Xing approached him and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Did someone go missing in the royal family four months ago?" I think Lord Rui should be yin and white now, what do I mean! ”

After speaking, he left without looking back, leaving King Rui, who had not yet recovered from the shock, and a room of people.

Ji Guangnian and Starry Night naturally followed him out of the house.

The three of them went directly to the most famous restaurant recommended by Bi Niang, the Tea House.

Xiao Er saw that they were not ordinary people, and immediately greeted them.

"Do the three guest officers want to be sharpened or stay in the hotel, if they are sharp, our elegant room environment is quiet, and absolutely no one disturbs.

If you stay in the hotel, the restaurant or inn in our tea city will not accept handsome guests, and if you want to stay, you will get the search department next to the yamen, and there will be someone there. ”

It's over, so where are they going to stay tonight?

Mo Xingli has just offended King Rui, and he can't help but look for the Division!

Ji Guangnian and Xingye glanced at each other tacitly and did not speak.

"Eat." Moxing is concise and to the point.

"Okay, guest upstairs, please!"

Seeing that they were brightly dressed and had an extraordinary temperament, the little second brother said that he was going to lead them to the elegant room, but he was rejected by Mo Xingli. They found a window seat on the first floor.

The restaurant's signature dishes were brought to the table in a short time, including the roast duck and vinegar fish that Bi Niang said.

Ji Guangnian tasted a bite of roast duck, and sure enough, it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it was delicious.

"We're talking about it this time, it's a son-in-law in Sujing. This son's surname is Yi, so let's call him Yi Gongzi!

This Yi Gongzi is also very good-looking. It is said that he was originally the son of a family in Beijing, and his family also had some relationship with the imperial family.

It's just that I've been here for more than three months, and I've only heard that someone is missing, but I haven't seen the spirit side, and I can't help but feel bored.

That night, he asked the Seventh Prince to resign, saying that Yin'er returned to Beijing early in the morning, but he lost his trace in just one night......"

There was a discussion at the table.

"I've also seen this person, he really looks good, he was also in this tea building that day, he sat at the table next to me, and said that one of the main purposes of his coming to the tea city was to prove that he was handsome, and the monster must be blind to look down on him."

"I saw him yesterday, and it seems that Jiang Liuhe painted a portrait of him and planned to take it back to Beijing."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

They also heard a full meal, and then suddenly walked into the restaurant, a woman was holding a willow posture, and her face was covered with a veil, but it could be seen from the charm of her eyes that her appearance must be good.

Many women in the city, whether beautiful or ugly, like to wear veils, and they are no longer surprised.

The woman glanced at Mo Xingli, and sat down at their table with her own familiarity, and asked Xiao Er to add bowls and chopsticks and serve some dishes.

Mo Xingli didn't speak, and she and Starry Night followed her.

After adding the dishes and chopsticks, Ji Guangnian and Xingye were dumbfounded, don't look at this woman slender, but she is a master who can eat, and she didn't stain the veil she wore at all, and I don't know how she did it.

dragged the woman's blessing, and the two of them tasted the dishes added after that, anyway, they could see that the woman didn't plan to pay. Mo Xingli's attitude towards her was a little strange, and he didn't stop her, just looked at her indifferently.

After the woman ate and drank, she took out a handkerchief and wiped her hands, "Eat and drink!" The three of them must not have settled down yet, right? Wrapped up in me! ”

With that, he got up and grabbed Ji Guangnian's elbow.

Ji Guangnian didn't like it, so he withdrew the hand he was holding, and the woman was not reluctant, so she was boneless and leaned on her.

The fragrance of apricot blossoms hit, and Ji Guangnian couldn't help but push her away: "Girl, who are you?" ”

"That's a good question, someone asked my name. The apricot is dying, scorching its bloom. The son is home, and it is appropriate for him to live in his room. The slave family is also aprioctional, and the son is willing to make a friend. ”

"You go away." Seeing that she was about to lean up again, Ji Guangnian took a step back.

"Childe, don't be so fierce! Borrowing someone to rely on it and not suffering a loss! ”

The starry night fell into the well, and the smile on his face was gloomy: "Xiao Jiu, you are not shallow!" ”

Ji Guangnian glared at him.
