Zhou Chengzhang, the prefect of Hangzhou, looked out the window with his back hand, and the summer insects squeaked and beat his nerves. His eyebrows tightened, and his eyes were fixed on a slave who was napping under the porch in the back house.

"My lord called me?"

"Come in."

Zhou Chengzhang nodded at his master, walked to the side of the desk and sat down, stretched out his hand and patted the file on the desk.

"It's been seven or eight days, and I haven't selected a full number of show girls, isn't the master in a hurry at all?"

"Don't worry, sir. The unmarried women in the city have been marrying in a hurry when they hear the news, and some have hid in the countryside, and the county government offices do not have so many people to arrest them one by one, and there is no need to arrest them......

In my humble opinion, it is better to search the city as much as possible. I heard that the emperor didn't want to choose the national beauty Tianxiang beauty to accompany him, but I listened to what the great teacher said, and he wanted to enrich the harem before the auspicious moon and sun. ”

"Can you still go to the streets and arrest people?"

"Adults don't have to worry about public grievances, whoever dares to resist in the emperor's draft can be punished for the crime of bullying the king."

Zhou Chengzhang nodded, the rabbit was anxious to bite, he thought of this trick just now when he saw the slave in the back house, but it was more reasonable for the master to say it, and it could better reflect his helplessness as a parent...... It's all forced!

"I have a few maids in the back house, you can pull them out first to make up the number."

"Your Excellency...... Be! ”

The master's gaze showed awe, and he bowed out the door.

Zhou Chengzhang took a long breath, his brows also relaxed, he reached out and stroked his white and ruddy face, took out a mirror from the pavilion shelf and looked at it, and stretched out his fingertips to wipe off the two white hairs in front of his forehead.

Suddenly, I heard a report outside the door: "Dali Temple Shaoqing Ji has arrived." ”

Zhou Chengzhang hurriedly stuffed back into the mirror and walked towards the door.

"I've seen Lord Zhou."

Ji Yun bowed deeply, Zhou Chengzhang bowed back, and warmly greeted Ji Yun to go deep into the seat.

"I don't know what wind blew Master Ji to Hangzhou City?"

Ji Yunshen and Zhou Chengzhang have the same rank, but the Beijing official is definitely more majestic than the local official.

Zhou Chengzhang smiled attentively and personally carried the teapot to pour tea for Ji Yunshen.

Ji Yunshen has always been indifferent to these false courtesies, and directly explained the intention.

In the past month, children have disappeared in Hangzhou, and eight cases have been reported to the authorities, and those who have not reported to the officials do not know how many cases......

"I wonder what eyebrows can be found on Lord Zhou's side?"

Ji Yunshen's eyes glanced at the draft girl file on the desk, and then looked at Zhou Chengzhang.

As soon as Zhou Chengzhang heard that Ji Yunshen was here for the disappearance of Tong'er, he immediately stood up and looked puzzled, "The case of the disappearance of Tong'er has been closed, and the parents of those children have been scolded by me for 20 ...... because of their poor care."

"You hit the parents who lost their children?"

Ji Yun stood up deeply and stared at Zhou Chengzhang in disbelief.

"Yes, that's right."

Only then did Zhou Chengzhang notice that Ji Yunshen's expression was wrong.

It is said that Lord Ji of Dali Temple is young and indifferent, and he is expressionless no matter what difficult cases he encounters, how can he be so angry because of the expressions of a few lost children.

Zhou Chengzhang didn't dare to look at Ji Yunshen's eyes, and looked down at Ji Yunshen's chin.

The arc from Ji Yunshen's chin to his ears is as perfect as a fine brushstroke, the lip peaks are sharp, the lip flap is thin but not sharp, and the lip color is red but not gaudy...... Zhou Chengzhang looked a little stupid, and he was a little jealous in his heart.

"Is Lord Zhou's handling of cases so casual?"

Ji Yunshen tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart, the disappearance of the child was enough to make the parents anxious, and they reported to the government in the hope of getting help, but they were also beaten up.

A strong young man will have to suffer for a few days if he is beaten with 20 boards, not to mention ordinary people, if the mothers of those children also suffer from 20 boards, I am afraid that they will be resentful and regretful.

"Is Master Ji too worried, if the parents of those children know the lesson, they should educate their children not to run around in the future,

It is the responsibility of parents to lose the child, and if the child dies and is killed again, of course I will send someone to solve the case.

I really don't bother Dali Temple to ask about this kind of thing, Dali Temple is the place where the royal investigation of serious cases is located, I hope that Lord Ji will not waste time with me......"

Zhou Chengzhang wiped the sweat on his forehead as he spoke, the weather was extremely hot this afternoon, Zhou Chengzhang came back from the hall wearing a full set of official uniforms and had not changed into normal clothes, and he felt that the sweat flowed from the back of his neck to the back of his heart.

"I will definitely investigate the case of the disappearance of the child, and I also ask Lord Zhou to actively cooperate."

"Forgive me for not cooperating, there are a lot of affairs in the prefecture and county, and I won't waste it on such a trivial matter. Or Master Ji takes out the case handling documents, and I can only transfer people after I read them. ”

Zhou Chengzhang said neither humble nor arrogant, quite confident.

Ji Yunshen stared at Zhou Chengzhang's white-faced smiling face, and then suddenly remembered that the great teacher asked him to investigate the disappearance of Hangzhou Qionglu Tong'er, and did not let him find the Hangzhou prefect for assistance.

The great master asked people to pretend to be Ji Yunshen, and he wanted to collect Ji Yunshen's body, how could he care about the life and death of the missing child......

Ji Yunshen's heart fluttered, and he suddenly realized that things might have gone in the wrong direction...... raised his hand to salute and say goodbye, and turned around and walked out of the door without waiting for Zhou Chengzhang to speak.

Zhou Chengzhang clasped his hands and maintained a posture of returning the courtesy, looked at the door and raised his eyebrows, "Master Ji is doing this more!" ”

Ji Yunshen returned to the post house, sat at the table and carefully recalled the situation of meeting with the great master, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt a chill.

What if the Great Teacher asked him to search for the missing children, not to return them to the parents of those children, but to the Great Teachers?

"Master Ji went out again?"

Ji Yunshen nodded to the guards at the door, and led the white horse towards the market.

Qionglu is on the north mountain of Hangzhou, passing by the farmhouse of Qiulange.

Ji Yunshen suppressed the urge to go to see Fu Duoxi, he believed that Fu Duoxi and Qiu Lan Ge would get along well, and he also believed that Fu Duoxi would soon learn Qiu Lan Ge's family stunt.

"Learning stunts is valuable in talent and understanding, not willing to endure hardships and persist to learn subtle stunts, how happy you are very spiritual, it took me a year to learn family stunts, you only took one day to learn ......"

Qiu Lange happily held Fu Duoxi's hand, her eyes flashing with disbelief,

Fu Duoxi was confused, and only repeated the action of picking up the thread and pulling the thread a day, so he learned the weaving stunt of the Qiulan singer?

It's impossible, isn't it, it's called a stunt? This is the basic exercise that any weaver girl will have,

"Thank you, Master Qiu, for your good guidance."

Fu Duoxi looked at the piece of fabric he had woven on the weaving frame, it was not a weaving stunt, but he also weaved the fabric, and what he wanted to learn was also weaving, and it didn't matter if it was a stunt or not.

Qiulan Ge seemed to have guessed Fu Duoxi's thoughts, and he didn't explain, but smiled and pulled Fu Duoxi up, "Duoxi, I'll take you to a place." ”

"Okay."

Fu Duoxi glanced back at the little fox demon.

The little fox demon was sitting at the head of the bed with Hong'er playing with pieces of paper.

Hong'er people are little ghosts, and they always tease the little fox demon to talk.

In the morning, Fu Duoxi was stabbed by the shuttle, and the little fox demon accidentally screamed, which happened to be heard by Hong'er, Hong'er called out in surprise to her mother to come and see the talking fox, but Qiulan Ge said strangely that there is a place where birds and cats can talk......
