"It's not clear yet, but you should be able to find out if you ask the shopkeeper. Li Hengyao replied.

"I'm going to ask the shopkeeper and ask him to check the records at that time. ”

After speaking, Yu Niang left.

Kangxi looked at Li Hengyao and motioned for him to follow. Li Hengyao understood, and immediately followed behind Yu Niang to find the shopkeeper.

Coming downstairs, the shopkeeper who knew Ma Xiucai's news was busy entertaining guests. Yu Niang came to the counter to find the shopkeeper.

Yu Niang stepped forward and asked, "Shopkeeper, the kid wants to ask the shopkeeper for help?"

"What's the matter?" asked the shopkeeper, putting down the abacus in his hand.

"That's right, the kid heard that Ma Xiucai disappeared after staying in the inn. I want to ask, did the shopkeeper report at the time?"

"Who are you, and why do you ask?"

"The kid is just a guest staying in the inn, only because Ma Xiucai is missing, and the county commander sent a servant to guard the inn, so that I can't leave.

The kid just wants to find out the news, so that I can find Ma Xiucai as soon as possible, and I can leave later. ”

"Oh! Ma Xiucai disappeared for two days, and the old man asked Xiao Er to report the case, but Xiao Er said that he hadn't seen the county master, and it was the master who took the case at that time, and said that he would report it when he saw the county master. ”

"In other words, the master knew that Ma Xiucai was missing, but he didn't report it to the county master?" Yu Niang said while glancing at Li Hengyao.

"Shopkeeper, Ma Xiucai lived alone in the inn that day, or did he live with other people? This inn should be recorded!"

"Yes, there is, but this is the privacy of the guests and cannot be shown to outsiders. ”

"This ...... Can't you be accommodating? Maybe it has something to do with Ma Xiucai's disappearance?"

"I can't show you anything about it, if it's really useful, the county lord will naturally send someone to check it. ”

No matter how Yu Niang communicated with the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper did not agree to show them the register of Ma Xiucai's accommodation. The two couldn't, so they had to leave.

The two went upstairs and told Kangxi about it, Kangxi glanced up at Nalan Rongruo, who nodded lightly and left the room.

Yu Niang was sitting on the stool trying to figure out a way, and she didn't notice the movements of Kangxi and the two, only knowing that someone had left the room.

Kangxi saw that Yu Niang was thinking hard, and comforted: "Don't worry, Young Master Liu, there will be a way." ”

"What can be done? The shopkeeper does not cooperate, and the government does not act, expecting them to solve the case and wait until the Year of the Monkey?"

Yu Niang was also anxious, seeing that Kangxi said it easily, her tone of reply was a little rushed.

Suo Etu, who was next to him, was even more dissatisfied, and just wanted to shout and reprimand, but was stopped by Kangxi's eye knife. I had to go to the side alone and sulk.

For a moment, there was no sound in the room. It wasn't until Nalan Rongruo walked in that the silence was broken.

Nalan Rongruo nodded to Kangxi and stood aside, Kangxi then said to Yu Niang: "Liu Gongzi should go and rest first! I'm tired after a busy day, maybe there will be news tomorrow." ”

Yu Niang looked up and looked around, and saw that a few people obviously had something to say, so she said casually: "Well, I'm really tired, let's go back and rest early!"

Kangxi stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and Li Hengyao sent Yu Niang to the door.

Yu Niang stopped there for a while when she walked outside the door, and when she saw that the two people at the door had been looking at her, she raised her feet and walked towards her room.

After entering the room and closing the door, Yu Niang was thinking: The behavior of the third young master Huang and his party was a little strange, he said that he was the second ancestor who enjoyed Zu Yin.

But Yu Niang saw that he didn't talk and behave like ordinary people, and all the nurses around him were strong in martial arts, not at all like the second ancestor he said.

At least it's very different from the previous Second Master Dong.

And he must find out why Ma Xiucai disappeared, this is very suspicious! Yu Niang suspects that he is a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and came down for a private visit?

But then Yu Niang overturned the conjecture, this Huang San Young Master is too young, that is, a young man a few years older than herself, how could she be a high-ranking official of the imperial court?

Could it be that the court of the Tartars could not find a talented person? Even such a small person could be an official?

Shaking his head and throwing out the thoughts in his head, what does it have to do with who the Tartar Emperor wants to make an official have to do with him? Let's find a way to leave here first and go to the capital to find out the truth about the murder of my parents and eldest brother!

Kangxi and they continued to discuss the case of Xiucai's disappearance after Yuniang left, and just now Nalan Rongruo left to find the shopkeeper to ask about Ma Xiucai's stay that day, and also talked about the process of getting the book.

It turned out that Nalan Rongruo didn't go well when he went to get the books. I still took out the palace token shopkeeper before taking out the record book.

At that time, the shopkeeper saw that Nalan Rongruo took out the token in the palace, and knelt on the ground in fright.

Hearing that the other party wanted to check the register of the day, he hurriedly handed the book to Nalan Rongruo, and then retreated and knelt aside to listen to the dispatch.

Nalan Rongruo got what he wanted, opened it and looked at a few pages.

When he found that there was no problem, he came to the shopkeeper and squatted down, and said in his ear: "Don't leak the news that I came here, otherwise you will be careful of the lives of your whole family." ”

The shopkeeper said in a loud voice: "Don't dare, don't dare!"

"Get up! I'll send you back this book when I'm done. You know who I am, don't send someone upstairs to disturb me. ”

"Yes...... The villain will not let people disturb the adults. ”

Nalan Rongruo took this book related to Ma Xiucai upstairs, and handed it over to Kangxi after Yu Niang left.

Kangxi got the book and turned to the page that recorded Ma Xiucai's stay at the inn that day.

found out that Ma Xiu was staying at this inn alone at that time.

But on the second day of staying at the inn, someone paid him the silver for the house, and paid it for five days in a row, and even gave the silver for the meal, and also rewarded the little two with one or two silver.

Although the circumstances at that time were unclear, the delivery of the money was clearly recorded.

This person who paid money to Ma Xiucai is very suspicious, why should he pay money for Ma Xiucai.

Ma Xiucai disappeared on the second day of check-in, and the two people that the merchant saw that night were Ma Xiucai and the person who paid for him?

Kangxi took the book and looked at it carefully, then handed the book to the person next to him and said, "Look at it too! This person is very suspicious." ”

Suo Etu took the book first, and after reading it, he said: "Your Majesty, is this person who paid the money for Ma Xiucai the murderer of him?"

The merchant saw that one of them was drunk that night, could it be that Ma Xiucai was already dead at that time?"

"Not true. If Ma Xiucai had been killed at that time, there would have been some movement, and the people in the inn would have gone up to ask for it.

Moreover, the merchant had seen two people at that time, and the person who was helped was only drunk, which shows that the person was alive at that time, not a corpse.

Xingde suspected that the person was not drunk, but was drugged and stunned, but only sprinkled wine on his body to aggravate the smell of alcohol, making people think that he was drunk.

And the person who was stunned was Ma Xiucai, and the person who attacked him must be someone he knew well, so Ma Xiucai would be defenseless.

Your Majesty, we must find Ma Xiucai quickly. Otherwise, Ma Xiucai might really be killed. Nalan Rongruo said to Kangxi.
