But now that this Fang Xiucai is also missing, who is the one who deducted half of his silver taels?

Did this Ma Xiucai hide by himself, or was he arrested? The clue is broken again at this point.

Yu Niang and Li Hengyao got useful information, the two thanked Ruyue and left, Yu Niang also asked her mother to take good care of Ruyue, and said that she would come back after a while.

As he spoke, he took out ten taels of silver from his cuffs and threw it into his mother's arms, and his mother took the silver in her hand and turned it around and said, "That's for sure, Ruyue is the number one in my Mingyue Building, and I will take care of my mother without the orders of my son." Childe often comes!"

As she spoke, she waved a handkerchief full of incense powder at Yu Niang's face, and Yu Niang quickly waved goodbye, dodging the handkerchief that made her want to sneeze.

When Mingyuelou's mother saw that Yu Niang was gone, she immediately put away her smiling face and said, "I like Ruyue so much, so I give such a little silver, it's not enough to even buy a golden hairpin."

Wasting so much saliva and saying so many good things for my mother. "After that, I twisted my fart/stock and went upstairs.

Yu Niang didn't know that she was disliked, and after getting a new clue, the two hurried back to the inn. Li Hengyao hurriedly told Kangxi the news he had found.

Kangxi and others are also very strange, now not only Ma Xiucai is missing, but one more person is missing. These two people seem to have evaporated from the world, and they can't see anyone alive or dead.

What's even more strange is that on the side of the government, the county magistrate showed his face the day before yesterday, and sent the official to check it on the same day.

From yesterday to today, a few people came to ask and left, and they didn't say the result, and they didn't let people leave. This is counterintuitive.

It stands to reason that if you want to solve a case, you must visit a large number of witnesses to find evidence, and only by knowing what has happened can you solve the case.

But the search of the government is too simple, so can Ma Xiucai be found?

It's just that when will it take to keep trapping people here? This made Kangxi anxious, as the emperor, it was not a good thing to leave the capital for too long?

So he sent Li Hengyao to continue to find out the truth about Ma Xiucai's disappearance, and then check where this Fang Xiucai went?

Did he return to his hometown? Or was he killed? This Fang Xiucai must be found, and he is the key person in finding Ma Xiucai.

In addition, Nalan Rongruo was also sent to the government to inquire about the situation, and if necessary, his identity could be exposed.

Yizhou is not far from the capital, and there are 100,000 troops stationed between the two, and it is only thirty miles away, so even if the identity is really exposed, there should be no danger.

Nalan Rongruo hesitated for a moment and then took the order to leave. The situation is getting more and more complicated, so it's better to leave early.

Kangxi made up his mind, and his heart settled down.

Suo Etu next to him was not at ease, he was afraid that it would be dangerous for the emperor to expose his identity, so he persuaded Kangxi: "Your Majesty, since you want to expose your identity, why don't you leave now?"

"No, since it has been found out that it was Fang Xiucai who took Ma Xiucai. The two are fellow villagers again, and I think they will be able to check the news of the two soon. ”

Suo Etu couldn't do it, so he could only accompany him, hoping that the two people he didn't like would find out the truth quickly. The emperor should return to the palace as soon as possible.

Nalan Rongruo came to the county government and said to the official guarding the door: "I came to the county master, and I implore the two eldest brothers to report it." ”

One of the officials looked him up and down and said, "Who are you? Why do you want to see the county magistrate?"

"Who am I? I would also like to ask you to let me know. ”

The official was very suspicious, it can be seen that Nalan Rongruo's clothes are not bad, and his momentum is not like that of ordinary people, and he is afraid of offending people who should not be offended.

Then he said, "Wait here, I'll go and report to you." Whether you can see adults or not is that you see your creation. ”

Nalan Rongruo took out a token from his bosom and handed it to the official and said, "Bring this in, and you adults will definitely see me." ”

The official took the token from his hand suspiciously and walked in, and it didn't take long.

Sure enough, seeing that the county commander ran out, he carefully returned the token to Nalan Rongruo and said, "Your Excellency, please come in!" ”

The actions of the county magistrate stunned the officials at the door, and they all thought in their hearts: I don't know who this is? Let the county magistrate personally go out to greet him.

Nalan Rongruo didn't look at the county order that bowed to him, and after taking the token from his hand, he raised his feet and strode towards the county office, until he came to the lobby.

There was no one in the lobby, and after Nalan Rongruo walked in, the county magistrate also walked in.

Nalan Rongruo found a stool and sat down casually and said, "Lord County Commander, please take a seat, I came here today to ask you: How is the investigation of Ma Xiucai's disappearance?

The county magistrate wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeve and said nervously: "My lord, Ma Xiucai's case has not progressed yet, and the lower officials have been looking for it in the city for a few days and have not found it." It's been so long that I can't find it for a while. ”

"Then why don't you let the people in the inn leave? Why don't you lock up the people in the inn for a day if you can't find anyone?"

"This ...... This is what the master said, and the lower official forgot it for a while. "The more the county order says, the more sweat on the head.

"You are a county magistrate? Do you listen to the master?" Nalan Rongruo began to suspect the county order now, how can there be a county order to listen to the master, this is very abnormal.

Nalan Rongruo walked around the county order twice with his hands behind his back, and his eyes swept around the county order.

The county commander endured his fear and said to Nalan Rongruo: "It's not that the lower officials listen to the master, but the master helps the lower officials a lot, so in general, most of the lower officials will discuss with the master to handle the affairs of the county government." ”

"You asked someone to call Master over and I will see him. Nalan Rongruo was very curious about this master, so he opened his mouth and asked the county commander to call him.

The county order had to ask the master to come over, and the master came quickly, seeing that there were outsiders in the lobby, but the county order was below, guessing the identity of Nalan Rongruo in his heart?

The master was very knowledgeable, and did not treat the county order as usual, but respectfully stood down and saluted Nalan Rongruo.

After Nalan Rongruo asked the master to get up, he carefully observed him and found that the master looked shrewd, with slender eyes, a high nose bridge, and a thin lip that looked more rounded.

The master was very uncomfortable by Nalan Rongruo's gaze, so he asked, "I don't know why Gongzi keeps staring at him?"

The master didn't know the identity of Nalan Rongruo, so he called him Gongzi. said that he was still like the eyes of the county commander on the side, but the county commander did not dare to look at him.

If Nalan Rong saw that something was wrong with the two, he knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he let the master go down.

Then he inquired about some of the situation in Yizhou City from the county order, and finally told the county order: Don't reveal his identity, otherwise his head will be lost.

The county magistrate even claimed: "Yes, I guarantee that half a point will not be leaked." ”

Nalan Rongruo left the county government and returned to the inn to report to Kangxi.

And the county magistrate in the county yali sat on the ground after Nalan Rongruo left.

When the master came in, he saw the county commander in a daze on the ground, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and asked, "My lord, who was that son just now, why is my lord so afraid of him?"

After the county magistrate got up, he glared at him and said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, finish your own things early and go back early." ”

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left. The master pursed his lips after the county order left, and said, "Hmph!

The master did not go to the office, but went to the backyard of the county office, came to a room familiar with the way, and said to the maid at the door, "Is your master here? Let her come out to see me." ”

The maid hurriedly stepped forward to salute the master and said, "Hello master, our master is here?" The master nagged yesterday that the master had not come to see her for a few days. ”
