An Chuxia looked at this leader who was in the same subject as herself, and she didn't know when she was a competitor in the scientific examination and became a friend.

"Brother Zhou is not the prefect of Nanlin Mansion now, this time when I came back to visit Teacher Pei, an old Xiucai surnamed Ji complained to me, saying that his granddaughter, who was already a child, was kidnapped a month or two ago.

When he was found, he had died tragically by the Qinghe River, and the case had been shelved after a simple investigation by the Lushan County Yamen had been fruitless.

After Ji Xiucai was killed his granddaughter, he heard from a friend who worked in the yamen that many women had disappeared in Lushan County for no reason in recent years, and in the end, if the yamen couldn't find it, it became a headless public case and was shelved. ”

"So you took this case, and it was not easy to deal with it beyond the local government, and you knew that I was the prefect here, so you wrote to call me." Zhou Xingyang suddenly realized.

An Chuxia glanced at him, did not deny it, and said faintly: "There is such an incompetent county official in your jurisdiction, shouldn't you take care of this matter?" ”

"Hehe, is this~" Zhou Xingyang awkwardly picked up the tea and drank it, it was indeed his responsibility.

"What do you want to do?" Zhou Xingyang took a sip of tea, put it down and asked.

"Now there are only human witnesses, but no physical evidence!"

An Chuxia bent his fingers and tapped on the stone table, lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then raised his eyes and said with a clear gaze: "Lead the snake out of the hole!" ”

"How do you know how to lure a snake out of a hole?" Zhou Xingyang asked puzzled.

According to the information provided by the two witnesses, Fang Zhuoli, the only son of the wealthy businessman Fang family in Lushan County, is the most suspicious. I sent someone to check in the town where the missing woman belonged, and there were gambling houses opened by the Fang family.

This alone does not prove that the seven or eight women lost in the past few years were all committed by him.

But Wang Qing'er of Wang Laohan's family in Qingshi Town was seen by others, and some people confirmed that it was Fang Zhuoli who did it.

To find out if he did so many women disappearing, the only way to do it is to let him do it again, and catch him red-handed so that he can't quibble. ”

Zhou Xingyang asked, "Then how do we know when he will make a move and kidnap the woman again." ”

"I sent someone to inquire about this period of time, Fang Zhuoli has always been in the county seat, Brother Zhou is interested in going to Lushan County with me." An Chuxia squinted her eyes and hooked her lips and said with a smile.

It's just that this smile Zhou Xingyang felt a little weird the more he looked at it, and couldn't help but say: "Don't smile at me, it's weird and hairy." ”

An Chuxia turned his face faster than a book, and gave him a roll of his eyes for free.

"You're so timid, and I don't know how you managed to get to the position of prefect."

"This case is not small, and if it is investigated, the credit will naturally not be small.

A few years ago, when I returned to Beijing to report on my work, you invited me to dinner, and this official gave you this credit. An Chu said with his head held high with a proud face.

Zhou Xingyang looked at An Chuxia, who had always been calm, and shook it with a smile, the most right thing he did was to make her a friend with a dead face.

She hasn't mentioned herself much for so many years, otherwise it is very likely that he would be like Tang Dongyi, staying in the capital and being forced to get involved in the succession of several princesses, how can he live such a stable life now.

………

Lushan County is a big gathering on this day, businessmen from other places bring goods from all over the country, people from the surrounding eight towns and towns come here to catch the market, the crowd is surging, and it is very lively.

Fang Zhuoli, who had been depressed in the mansion for several days that day, finally took advantage of Master Fang's absence and slipped out with two entourages.

Because of Master Fang's warning, not only did he not go to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, but even his fox friends who had the same hobbies as him, he was also alienated.

As for Zhao Peng, the retinue sent to assassinate Huya, he already knew that he had been caught by An Chuxia.

It's just that Master Fang didn't let him do any other actions, and he didn't want to interfere in that matter again, so Fang Zhuoli had already forgotten about this entourage.

Fang Zhuoli walked on the street with a fan in his hand, looking like he thought he was suave, his eyes looked greedily from time to time, and he walked back and forth with a young and beautiful woman.

Just when he was itching and having evil thoughts because he hadn't been outside for a long time, a woman with a beautiful face walked out of the crowd.

When passing by Fang Zhuoli, I don't know why my feet were weak, and I was about to fall, how could Young Master Fang let go of such a rare opportunity.

Fang Zhuoli reached out in time to hold the person in his arms, and met the woman's moist and rippling peach blossom eyes, and couldn't help but feel relaxed, and asked softly with concern: "Girl, are you okay?" ”

"Sizzle, it hurts, I seem to have a broken foot!" The woman said softly.

"Don't be afraid, Young Master Ben will take you to the hospital!"

"No need, my brother and I came here from out of town to sell bamboo mats, and he is not far in front, so it's okay to go back and buy some medicinal wine and smear it." The woman said coquettishly.

After speaking, he pushed Fang Zhuoli away, biting his lower lip as if enduring the pain, and limped forward.

Fang Zhuoli had already been picked up by himself, how could he easily give up such a superior prey, he gave a look to the entourage beside him.

One of the tall and thin attendants followed the woman away, Fang Zhuoli's evil eyes looked at the direction of the woman's departure, he always felt that this woman exuded a unique temperament, which was particularly attractive.

"What a beautiful and unique woman."

An Chuxia, who used modern technology to draw a beautiful makeup, walked into the crowd in a light-colored long skirt, hooked the corners of her mouth, and she already felt the gaze behind her sticking to her.

An Chuxia walked to a stall selling bamboo mats, and shouted to the man about thirty years old who was selling bamboo mats, "Big brother, my foot is broken." ”

Zhou Xingyang's "......" couldn't help but tremble when he heard this coquettish voice at this time, Nima can't help but be like this, he is usually such a majestic person, this is really unaccustomed.

"Oh, sister, what's wrong with you, come and sit here, you look at the stall for a while, my brother will go buy you the medicine and wine to wipe it."

Zhou Xingyang hurriedly ran towards a pharmacy and played a brother who cared about his sister to the fullest.

But in her heart, she was scolding An Chuxia, who had been stabbed a thousand times, she wanted to lead the snake out of the hole, and she had to pull herself.

The bundles of bamboo mats on this stall were really picked up by him from afar, and he was a weak official who had never done such heavy work.

An Chuxia smiled and looked at Zhou Xingyang, who was leaving in a cloth suit, with the idea that it was better to be happy alone than to be happy together, and invited him to solve the case together.

So that he will not feel guilty when he receives the credit.

The tall and thin entourage who came to inquire about the situation saw that An Chuxia's brothers and sisters really came to sell bamboo mats at the big rally, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but show an evil smile like his master, full of malice and disgust.

An Chuxia glanced at this side from the corner of her eye, then turned back to the woman who came to buy the bamboo mat, and began to bargain, looking like a veteran of small business.

This made the entourage even more convinced that their brother and sister were really vendors who followed the assembly to buy and sell, and if something happened, no one would notice.
