An Chuxia took the time to visit the Gu family, and Gu Tongsheng heard from Gu Fangmiao about what she was doing, so he specially called her to the study.

"Teacher, what are you doing when you ask for students?" An Chuxia said.

Gu Tongsheng pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for her to sit down.

After seeing An Chuxia sit down, Gu Tongsheng said: "I heard that you have something to do these days, your master and wife are here to take care of us, don't worry, you are busy with business." ”

An Chuxia looked at the teacher with a serious face, knowing that he cared about himself before he explained this, so he said, "I know, the teacher should also pay attention to the body." ”

"Okay, you go get busy."

An Chuxia stayed at Gu's house for lunch, and then said goodbye to Mu Tan who came with him and left.

As soon as An Chuxia and Mu Tan got off the carriage when they returned to Xitang Village, they saw a group of people kneeling at the gate of the courtyard where they lived, as well as villagers standing around watching the excitement.

Zuo Wang seemed to be relieved to see An Chuxia coming back, and after striding back to salute, he approached and briefly explained the matter.

An Chuxia only then learned that the people kneeling at the door of her house were all family members of the missing woman, and when she heard that she was investigating the matter, she specially came from various towns and villages in Lushan County.

When those people saw An Chuxia, who was wearing a blue brocade dress, get down from the carriage, look left and go forward to salute and report, and everyone guessed that this should be the female official they were waiting for.

At this time, a woman with patches on her clothes staggered up and ran to An Chuxia, and knelt down with a heavy thud.

Heart-rending shouted: "Adult, adult, you have to call the shots for the villain!" ”

When An Chuxia saw the woman, as if she didn't know the pain, she slammed her forehead on the ground and hurriedly reached out to help her.

"Auntie, if there is something to say, it doesn't have to be like this."

Under the comfort of An Chuxia, the woman raised her tearful face, calmed down a little, and recounted in a choked voice:

"My lord, the villain is from Anping Town, under the jurisdiction of Lushan County, I heard that the female monarch is investigating the disappearance of young women in the past few years, and the villain has come to ask the adults to help make decisions.

Originally, the villain was a family of three, although they were not wealthy, but they were also plain and smooth.

My husband and I only have a daughter Xiaohong under our knees, and at the beginning of last year, we were about to show her a good man to sign a contract, and she will set up a household in the future.

Unexpectedly, when we were asking around to choose a husband for her, once my daughter went shopping in Anping Town, and she disappeared innocently.

After that, we searched everywhere to no avail, so we went to the yamen to report the case, but it was more than a year, and the yamen did not give an explanation.

Because we couldn't find our daughter, we were already bedridden with depression in our hearts, and begged the adults to help the villain make the decision and get my daughter back. ”

At this time, a group of people who came over and knelt on the ground also cried: "Our girl is too! ”

"Yes, yes, our daughters are also missing, for no reason, please help us find out the truth and find them back."

An Chuxia looked at the group of people who knelt in front of her, and the people who lost their daughters in the family, and saw that their faces were full of tears and sadness, and her heart was also very sad.

Like this case of losing young and beautiful women, even if these girls are finally recovered, I am afraid they will not be the original ones.

What's more, these young women still don't know whether they are alive or dead.

"Don't worry, I will try my best to investigate this case, and if I find the lost girl, the official will notify you in time." An Chuxia said solemnly.

"Master Xie, find someone for us to be the master."

After An Chuxia's appeasement, the group of people knelt down and thanked An Chuxia, and then they all left.

After the people of Xitang Village saw the group of people leaving, An Chuxia also led people into their compound, they looked at each other, and also found a place to gossip.

The sturdy couple dressed in exquisite clothes handed the gift they had brought back to the guards who opened the door.

Their food stall has already been made to the county seat, this time I heard that An returned to his hometown in early summer, and they came back to visit, but they didn't expect to see this scene.

Knowing that An Chuxia must be very busy, the honest and strong couple just put down the gifts they brought and left.

An Chuxia heard the description of the guard, and guessed that it should be opened in the county, and the big strong couple of the small restaurant asked the maid who brought it, Red Sleeves, to accept the gift.

On this day, Anchuxia and Mu Tan went to Lushan County with a few guards, entered the lobby of a teahouse, and chose a window position.

As soon as the two of them sat down, Xiao Er, who had a spirit, stepped forward and asked, "Two guest officers, may I ask what kind of tea soup?" ”

Mu Tan glanced at An Chuxia and said, "Jiuqu Red Plum!" ”

An Chuxia smiled and had no opinion.

"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute!" Xiao Er replied.

An Chuxia looked out of the window at the street, looking at the sparse pedestrians, and the shops on both sides of the street were not as prosperous as before, and became a little depressed.

Mu Tan watched quietly, and saw that her forehead was hot and sweaty, and the fan in her hand fanned her without a trace.

Soon Xiao Er brought the black tea they ordered, and An Chuxia took it and took a sip.

The two guards sat at a table next to them, ordered a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.

At this time, I heard an exclamation from the middle of the lobby, "Ah, what you said is true?!" ”

Everyone's eyes looked at a table in the center of the lobby, and the two men were drinking tea and chatting and talking.

One of the men smiled embarrassedly when he noticed someone looking at them, then turned back slightly and lowered his curiosity to his companion:

"You said that the person in the gambling house in Qingshi Town called Huya was really so bold that he knocked a girl out three years ago and stuffed her into a luxurious carriage."

Another man sitting at a table said with a serious expression: "Of course, this news is my third uncle's niece and daughter-in-law, and my mother's sister-in-law is a native of Xitang Village.

I heard that it was a man named Li Si, who gave the lady what he saw on May 18, three years ago, for the reward of one hundred taels. ”

Although the voices of the two people talking were not high, there were still many people who could hear them.

An Chuxia saw Zuo Wang, dressed as a bearded man, and another guard, spreading information there, drinking the black tea in the cup with her eyes lowered, squinting slightly, no one knew what she was thinking.

In a sparsely populated private house outside Lushan County, a man with a gloomy face threw the tea cup in his hand on the ground, and the fragments flew far away.

Another man with a long face, about thirty years old, looked at the man with a gloomy and angry face with a wicked smile.

A faint voice sounded: "Zhuo Li, you and I haven't played with female officers yet!"

Let me tell you, I know the female officer who investigated the woman's disappearance this time.

She used to study in the academy run by my family, and when she was in the capital, she played horses and roamed the streets, and now that I think about it, it still makes my heart itch~"

The man didn't know what to think, and the lewd expression on his face was disgusting to see.
