Chapter Ninety-Four: Missing

"Little lady, coincidence."

As soon as Zhao Wanning walked around the corner, he was startled by the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him.

The man was dressed in a blue robe, with a long and jade body, but when he opened his mouth, he was full of frivolity.

Zhao Wanning looked up, wasn't this the disciple who almost injured her by driving a carriage on the street a few days ago?

Thinking of being teased by him on the street last time, Zhao Wanning was very angry. But Pei Yue told her that this disciple was the target of his current investigation, and Zhao Wanning didn't want to make a mistake in the investigation because of himself, so he had to endure this bad breath.

Zhao Wanning ignored him, bypassed him and prepared to leave.

I didn't want Yang Zixian to follow again, walked in front of Zhao Wanning in a few steps, stretched out his arms to stop her, and said, "Hey, little lady, why don't you speak?" Could it be that I am fascinated by this handsome young man, sorry? ”

Zhao Wanning looked at Yang Zixian with a shocked face, he didn't expect this person to be so narcissistic that he could even say such things. She looked up and down, Yang Zixian was dressed like a male peacock with an open screen, with a greasy and unconscious smile on his face, his eyes were squinted, and he almost wanted to vomit.

Zhao Wanning comforted herself in her heart, desperately suppressed her desire to scold, turned her head and left, and the whole city did not talk to Yang Zixian.

That Yang Zixian was lost face by Zhao Wanning several times, and he was driven out by the government officials today, and he was already on fire, and finally couldn't help but break out.

He stared at the backs of Zhao Wanning and Silver Candle and sneered.

"Good guy, I gave you face!" Yang Zixian's eyes showed a fierce light, and he glanced at the family next to him.

Those family members were also used to doing this, and went directly to the two people in front of them.

They took the cloths with medicine in their hands, and directly covered the mouths and noses of Zhao Wanning and Silver Candle from behind.

Zhao Wanning only felt dizzy, and her eyes were dark, so she didn't wake up.

Yang Zixian is not a good person, the Yang family is the owner of the salt farm in Chengxian County, monopolizing the salt farm on weekdays and acting recklessly. Originally, there were still salt farms in Qin County that could compete with them, but the Yang family secretly played a black hand and forced the salt farms in Qin County to retreat again and again.

Under the crazy suppression of the Yang family, the Qinxian Salt Farm was eaten up by whales little by little, so that the Yang Family Salt Farm was dominant.

The Yang family also made a lot of money with the salt farm, and soon became the richest man in Qingzhou City.

After having money, the Yang family began to collude with officials again, and did many shady things behind their backs.

Robbing people's daughters is not a big deal for Yang Zixian, the eldest son of the Yang family. He has already married eighteen concubines in his mansion, most of whom are forcibly married.

As long as he likes it, he will do everything he can to get it. If the other party is obedient, he will marry and spoil him, and when he gets tired of it, he will forget about it. If the other party refuses to commit the crime, he will directly snatch it back, and wait for the raw rice to be cooked, and those women will have to obey if they don't want to.

Yang Tiande, the head of the Yang family, turned a blind eye to this, just because he was like this. Yang Zixian learned from him, the upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is crooked.

The Yang family's housewife also persuaded her, but no one listened to her, she couldn't control her husband and son, but was laughed at by outsiders.

With her in front, Yang Zixian's wife was even more low, and she didn't dare to say anything.

Yang Zixian looked at Zhao Wanning lying in the carriage and showed a cruel smile.

He reached out and stroked Zhao Wanning's cheek, and said with a smile: "Beauty, don't you want to pay attention to me?" I'll let you beg me this time. Hahahaha. ”

Yang Zixian remembered his father's entrustment, saying that he wanted him not to cause trouble in the near future, and he felt unhappy. Thinking of what happened to him in the government today, I felt that my father didn't care about him.

He thought about it and said to the coachman: "Don't go back to the house, let's go to the other courtyard." ”

"Childe, is it the Wanglongshan Courtyard?" The driver shouted through the door.

Yang Zixian was a little displeased when he heard his voice, and he turned his head to look at Zhao Wanning, who was still unconscious, and then relieved himself.

"Let's go to Wanglong Mountain."

Wanglong Mountain is outside the city of Qingzhou, close to Qin County. The Wanglongshan Villa mentioned by the coachman was originally the mansion of the Mo family, the owner of the Qin County Salt Farm, and after the Mo family was suppressed and framed by the Yang family, the Mo family scattered and fled, and even their own ancestral home was not kept.

The Yang family colluded with the government to not only take most of the Mo family's salt works, but also occupy the Mo family's ancestral house.

The Mo family was also a big family in the early years, and the ancestors were rich for many years, and the ancestral house was magnificently repaired. If it weren't for the fact that Wanglong Mountain was too far away from Qingzhou City, the Yang family would be eager to move their house over and live.

Nowadays they are just working as individual courtyards, and they come to stay for a few days when they are free.

There is a hot spring in Wanglongshan Annex, and sometimes, Yang Zixian will bring his favorite woman to come on a whim.

In winter, the mountains are covered with snow. The carriage drove smoothly along the manicured mountain road, leaving shallow ruts.

Wanglongshan Annex.

Yang Zixian got out of the carriage with Zhao Wanning, who was still unconscious, and then sent him to the small courtyard where the hot spring was located.

The courtyard is far away from the hustle and bustle, and there are only obedient servants. Yang Zixian finally relaxed and got a little respite.

Yang Zixian looked at Zhao Wanning, who was still unconscious, and remembered her disgusted and vivid expression in the face of herself, and suddenly wanted to play something different.

"Don't you hate me?" Yang Zixian brushed away Zhao Wanning's hair and said with interest: "If you fall in love with this son, see if you will show that kind of expression." ”

After noon, Zhao Wanning had not returned.

Zhao Wangshu knew that Zhao Wanning went to find Pei Yue, and she could also see that there was some inexplicable relationship between the two.

In all fairness, Zhao Wangshu is still quite optimistic about Pei Yue. At the beginning, I also thought about the idea of winning Pei Yue over and bringing him under his command, but Pei Yue's grandfather was the prince's concubine, Pei Yue grew up with the prince since he was a child, and he was too close to the prince, so he was naturally included in the sphere of influence of the prince Zhao Wangjin.

Therefore, Zhao Wangshu took precautions against Pei Yue.

Zhao Wangshu specially ordered to secretly protect Zhao Wanning's chasing wind, and if he found anything wrong with Pei Yue, he would immediately come back and tell her.

Now that noon has passed, Zhao Wanning has not returned, and Zhao Wangshu thinks that she is staying with Pei Yue for dinner.

Zhao Wangshu looked at the lunch on the table alone, and suddenly lost his appetite. Without Zhao Wanning's company, she was a little unate.

Zhao Wanning didn't say anything no matter what she ate, she always had endless words, as if she had been suppressed in the eldest princess's mansion for too long, and she wanted to vent it all at once outside.

Zhao Wangshu ate a few bites, but she really had no appetite, so she ordered the maid to remove the meal, and she went back to the bedroom.

As soon as he opened the door, Zhao Wangshu keenly noticed that there were people in the house!

Zhao Wangshu's eyes flickered, and he instructed the maid behind him: "The palace is a little tired, you don't have to go into the house to serve." ”

"Yes, Celestia." The maids responded in unison.

"Come out." Zhao Wangshu closed the door and walked towards the house.

The person who came spoke in an anxious tone, looked nervous, and even said with a trembling voice: "Princess, Wanning is gone!" ”

"What?" Zhao Wangshu stepped forward and grabbed Pei Yue's collar, and said domineeringly: "Didn't Wanning go to you?" How could it be gone? ”

Pei Yue's expression was painful, and he couldn't believe it.

Before noon today, when he returned to the small courtyard from outside, he was told by Pei Zhen that Zhao Wanning had come to look for him and had waited for him for a long time.

This was the first time Zhao Wanning took the initiative to find Pei Yue, he was naturally overjoyed, and before he had time to rest, he went straight to the Qingzhou Mansion.

He went to Zhao Wanning's yard first, but found no trace of Zhao Wanning.

Pei Yue's identity is sensitive, and it is already disadvantageous to sneak into the mansion during the day, and he does not dare to show up to ask the whereabouts of those maids Zhao Wanning, so he has to hide in the shadows, hoping to hear any clues.

Zhao Wanning on the left and right is in this Qingzhou Mansion, so he will have to wait a little longer.

Before lunch, the maid next to the eldest princess came to invite Zhao Wanning to dine together, but she heard the picture screen say that Zhao Wanning went out to find Pei Yue and had not returned.

Pei Yue's heart sank, according to Pei Zhen's statement, Zhao Wanning had already returned, but why did the painting screen say that she had not returned.

Pei Yue searched in the palace again, but found no one. There were many people in the dining room, and it was difficult for him to show up, so he had to hide here, waiting for an opportunity to inform Zhao Wangshu of the matter.

Zhao Wangshu's mind moved, and he immediately called to chase the wind.

"Celestial Princess, the county lord seems to be missing." Chasing Feng came in with a cold body, he frowned, and knelt in front of Zhao Wangshu: "When Chasing Feng went back today, he found that the county lord was not in the courtyard where Master Pei stayed, so he thought that the county lord was going out to play. ”

"But my subordinates have been looking for a long time in the city, and they have run all over the places where the county lord frequents, but they have not found any trace of the county lord."

"My subordinates are derelict in their duties, please punish the eldest princess."

Hearing this, Zhao Wangshu took a step back, and the whole person sat down on the chair as if he had unloaded his strength.

Zhao Wangshu remembered that today she didn't trust Pei Yue, so she took the opportunity to search Pei Yue's residence and brought back some things, which made Zhao Wanning leave Chaifeng's sight.

She just thought that Zhao Wanning was the county lord, and now that she was far away from the capital, no one would harm her thoughts, so she was very safe. Chasing the wind had been secretly protecting her before, and he didn't find any potential safety hazards, so he relaxed a little.

didn't think about it, just this time of negligence, Zhao Wanning disappeared.

Pei Yue was anxious at the moment. He originally thought that he just couldn't find Zhao Wanning in the mansion, maybe she went out to play. But chasing the wind's words almost confirmed that Zhao Wanning was indeed missing.

Where will she go?

The silver candle was brought back to the temple of Wanglongsan. Yang Zixian was afraid that she would go back to ask for help, so he locked her up. She was locked up in the firewood room of the courtyard, tied with a thick hemp rope at the mouth of the bowl, and a cloth was stuffed in her mouth.

In the middle of the night, the silver candle woke up. She almost woke up from freezing. It was extremely cold at night in the mountains, and there was no quilt in the firewood room, so she lay directly on a pile of dry straw.

As soon as Silver Candle opened his eyes, it was pitch black. She struggled with her arms in the darkness and found that her hands and feet were tied, and her mouth was sealed.

Realizing that she seemed to have been kidnapped, Silver Candle was terrified. She was secretly anxious in her heart, and she didn't know how the county lord was? Is it also tied somewhere?

Today, she was suddenly covered by her mouth and nose, and then she fell into darkness, and when she woke up, she was tied up here, and she didn't know where.

After a while, Silver Candle finally got used to the darkness. In a vague way, she could tell that it was a firewood room.

Silver Candle didn't care about the cold, she squirmed on the ground, trying to get close to the light.

She had to find a way out and find the county lord quickly.
