Anyway, I want to stay here for a few more days, refine more pills, and get it at the auction after seven days, so that I can ask Sizhu for the silver he borrowed.

By the way, let's take a look at the frequent disappearances of the bride, I heard about it yesterday, and thought it was a simple disappearance, if it was a demon, as a person from Xianmen, he should help.

After discussing it, they saw that it was getting late, and decided to go to the yamen early tomorrow morning to inquire about the situation.

In order to ensure the safety of Ember Huan, Hua Jian Li discussed with Hou Yueming and asked him to live in a room with Ember Huan.

It was night, Hua Jianli returned to the room, took out the elixir that the Dragon Yin Ming Pole Furnace had refined all night, and still felt full of energy and not the slightest tiredness.

This is also due to the power of the fusion spirit root, and the spiritual power is rapidly increasing at the same time.

When the first rays of dawn entered the window of the room, there was a knock on the door outside.

Hua Jianli looked at Qin Sizhu, who was sleeping soundly, and got up to open the door.

Who would knock on the door so early? Yesterday they had made an appointment at three o'clock, and now it was just past midnight.

Hua Jianli opened the door and saw that Ember Huan was standing outside the door with a copper basin, and handed the handkerchief in his hand to Hua Jianli, "The washing water has been prepared." ”

"For me?" Hua Jianli took the handkerchief and pointed to himself suspiciously.

"Well, last night I consulted Hou Yueming, how to be a servant in the world, I didn't expect it to be similar to our merman clan, the main thing is to take care of the master's daily life, complete the things assigned by the master, and protect the master's safety." Ember Huan said with a serious face.

Hua Jian was dumbfounded, it turned out that Ember Huan said that being a servant was not just talking, and even specifically consulted Hou Yueming.

The book says that the merman is simple-minded and will repay kindness, which is true.

Look at Ember Huan, what a simple and upright boy!

"Ember Huan, you don't have to be so ......" Hua Jianli took the copper pot and showed a kind smile.

She is not an evil lord who specializes in oppressing servants, and besides, she is used to being self-reliant, and she has never thought of letting Ember Huan do these things.

"Since I have promised to be your servant, I will do what I say, I have delivered the washing water, and you can call me at any time if you need it." Ember Huan interrupted Hua Jianli's words, closed the door, and left.

The flowers in the door are holding pots, with a helpless face, and Ember Huan said that it sounds simple, but it is actually a tendon!

At that time, she was indeed very interested in buying a merman as a servant, but looking at Ember Huan's face and bearing, and then thinking about the mysterious and powerful mana of the merman clan, a good knife is to be used on the blade, and let the three princes of the merman clan serve her tea and water, no matter how she thinks about it, she feels overkill.

Let him go.

After washing up, Hua Jian meditated and practiced for a while, and when it was almost two o'clock, he woke up Qin Sizhu.

After the two finished cleaning up, they went downstairs and saw that Bai Yusheng and Hou Yueming were already sitting downstairs, watching in amazement as Ember Huan gave the flowers and vegetables.

Before Hua Jian Li sat down, the bowl was already full of dishes.

After Ember Huan finished cooking, he sat down obediently on the side.

"Senior sister, in which market did you buy this servant, it's too conscientious, I'll try my luck with Ming'er, and see if I can pick up an exotic servant who is as good-looking and diligent as Huan." Bai Yusheng sighed, a look of envy on his face.

Hou Yueming yawned loudly, "Senior Brother Bai, don't think about it, a servant like Huan is not something you can pick up if you want to." ”

Last night, Ember Huanfei pulled him to ask him how to be a servant in the world, asking questions about the east and west, and did not stop until the time of the child, but he got up again at the end of the day.

Knowing that the merman's sleep time was so short, he would not agree to share a room with Ember Huan.

Waiting for Fang Juexia and Luo Ying to come down, after breakfast, several people set off for the yamen.

The yamen of Huining City is magnificent, the tall vermilion gate is inlaid with a golden copper ring, symbolizing authority and majesty, and the stone lion in front of the yamen is lifelike.

Walk into the door, the face is expanded into three, the bright room is the aisle of the 100-meter Yongdao, and the first half of the east room is placed in the first half of the "shouting drum".

"I've contacted the people from the yamen in advance, and we'll just go straight to the lobby." Fang Juexia led five people and one shark up the stone steps, passed through the corridor, and went straight to the yamen lobby.

Hua Jianli looked up, and saw a plaque with the word "public integrity" hanging high in the lobby of the government, and a yellow couplet on a black background was engraved at the door: "Quit greed for government, be greedy for profit, be greedy for fame, don't forget about political affairs; Maintain honesty and frugality, thrift oneself and thrift, thrift people are not thrifty, and also be lenient and honest. ”

The whole lobby is made of blue bricks and gray tiles, dark columns, and beams are painted, blue and green.

In the middle of the lobby, there is a public case, and behind the chair of the public case, a screen is set up, and the screen is full of pictures of seawater, river cliffs, clouds and geese.

Above the lobby, a middle-aged man was sitting on the Taishi chair, he was wearing a black gauze official hat, wearing a black court dress, a thin face, a dark complexion, and a pair of charitable eyes under the faint eyebrows.

Seeing the group walk in, the man hurriedly stood up and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Immortal Chief, I received news from you yesterday, I was waiting here early today, you have worked hard all the way, sit down and have a cup of tea first."

Fang Juexia said with a smile, "Governor Li doesn't have to be so polite, we came here to bother mainly to learn about the specific situation of the bride's disappearance." ”

"The case ten years ago was thanks to the help of the Immortal Chief, and now I am going to trouble you again, so I should be polite. A few immortal elders sat down first, and I will tell you the details of this case. ”

The prefect ordered his subordinates to add tea, and after a few people sat down, he spoke.

"The disappearance of the bride in Huining City began fifteen days ago, one every three days, after the investigation of the yamen, the missing brides are all under the age of sixteen, and they are all born in the lunar month and lunar year, all after the worship hall, the bride is accompanied by the Xi Po and the bridal maid, and the groom goes out to entertain the guests during the time period. The auspicious time is set, the wedding is customary, and some families are unwilling to cancel the big wedding, so the yamen can only send people to protect it. But strangely, the bride disappeared and disappeared silently, and there was no sign of struggle in the house, and we suspect that this incident was not man-made. ”

"The time is regular, the people are specific, it seems that the bride captor has premeditated." Bai Yusheng touched his chin.

"Governor Li, are there any newlyweds who have gotten married in recent days?" Fang Juexia asked.

"Yes, according to the law of thieves committing crimes, they will do it tomorrow, there are exactly three girls under the age of sixteen who were born in Huining City, and two have been persuaded to get married, and one is determined to get married on the set day." Governor Li nodded.

"In this way, we will guard near the new house in advance, and act immediately as soon as there is any trouble." Fang Juexia's eyes were slightly condensed, and a deep voice sounded.

"Senior brother, I have an idea." Hanama, who had been listening carefully to the side, suddenly spoke.

Everyone in the hall turned to look at her.
