Inside the Castle Lord's Mansion.

The man in gray was obviously a little surprised by the city lord's performance.

The four of them entered the city lord's mansion without any hindrance, and the city lord came out head-on, with a smile on his face that looked greasy because of obesity.

The city lord, who is usually high up and does not smile, actually smiled at the three eleven or twelve-year-old children, which is the kind of flattering smile. While the man in gray was shocked, he also realized the unusual identity of the three people, and he was even more afraid of his various performances just now, but fortunately, he reined in the precipice and finally did a good thing.

"Li Qi is gone!" As soon as Bai Ziyang entered the door, he saw the smiling city lord, but at this time, the three of them could still laugh and shouted in a panic.

"What?!" the city lord stopped smiling, "That prince of the Imperial Capital Li Clan's Auction House?"

The five words of Li's auction house shocked the man in gray again.

The man in gray flipped through the memories in his mind, the Li Auction House almost monopolized the auction halls of the entire Celestial Star Empire, not to mention that the wealth was rivaled by the country, but the wealth also accounted for 20% of the entire empire.

"I want to quickly seal the city gate and send the whole city to find Li Qi. Bai Ziyang was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

"Okay, good," the city lord turned around, entered the hall, summoned his subordinates, and began to issue tasks.

In this way, about five minutes passed, and the city organizer was extremely efficient, but at this time, the three of them were like knives and spent their days like years, but in five minutes, the three of them felt as if hundreds of years had passed.

After the city lord of Meicheng finished arranging the characters, he hurriedly summoned the four people into the hall and asked for details.

"We were at the pharmacy, I asked Li Qi to help me buy an almond cake, who knew that nearly an hour had passed, and he hadn't come back yet. Su Ling tried to calm himself down.

"I saw him go into the sweetheart pastry shop and buy an almond cake and go out, and I was still amazed at how such a young child could buy the cake by himself, I hadn't seen him before, and I didn't know what happened next. The man in gray interfaced.

"What kind of drugstore?" said the city lord, "what are you doing at the drugstore?"

"Jishi Pharmacy, the closest one to Sweetheart Pastry Shop, is only about ten minutes away. Fang Ling said, "We saw a group of black-clothed people beating a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child on the street, and we couldn't stand it, so we helped and sent the unconscious person to the pharmacy by the way. ”

"Beaten in the street?" the city lord was surprised, "who is the man in black?" so arrogant. ”

"Well, it's my people," the man in gray lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly at the city lord, "that kid steals the cake." ”

"So you're going to send someone to beat him?" the city lord glared at the man in gray.

"There are too many thieves coming and going, and we always have to make an example of them. The man in gray still kept his head down.

"Forget it, now is not the time to worry about this," the city lord turned his gaze away from the man in gray and turned to look at Su Ling, "You asked him to buy cakes for you?"

"What do you mean by that?" Su Ling said angrily, "Are you doubting me?!"

"In order to find your good friend as soon as possible, I hope you had better calm down. There was no trace of emotion in the city lord's words, "Tell me why." ”

"Hehe, the girl mentioned that his brother helped him buy almond cake, and I saw what they were wearing, it didn't look like they had money to buy it, and the boy was beaten, I guess it was stealing, so I thought about buying a cake for them. Su Ling was still angry, "Also, Li Qi is my good friend since I was a child, and it is absolutely impossible for me to hurt him." The last sentence was categorical in what Su Ling said.

The city lord no longer paid attention to Su Ling and turned to look at Bai Ziyang and Fang Ling.

"I can testify," Bai Ziyang and Fang Ling spoke at the same time, "It is impossible for Su Ling to hurt Li Qi. ”

"Okay, since you took the initiative to arrange for Li Qi to buy the cake, then rule out the suspicion of those two children," the city lord looked at the man in gray, "and you, I forgive you for not having the guts." ”

The man in gray lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly, as if he was not lightly angered by the city lord's words.

"Then there are only two possibilities left, first, kidnapping, no one else knows about your coming to me," the city lord said this, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he lifted his clothes and feet to wipe his sweat, "So the kidnapping may just be because the kidnappers saw that Li Qi was dressed luxuriously and did it easily." ”

Su Ling and the three listened quietly, Bai Ziyang pulled the corner of Su Ling's clothes, and Su Ling ignored it.

"Second, does the Li Auction House have any enemies?" said the city lord.

"Is it possible that you are lost?" the man in gray whispered.

"Report, report to the city lord, no abnormalities were found in the city, and there were no suspicious people entering and leaving the city gate, and the young man was not found. A man in civilian clothes, presumably a scout or something, rushed in from outside the door, shouting as he entered.

After hearing this, the city lord glared at the man in gray again, "Ten minutes away, you got lost and show me?!"

"What should I do, a good person, just disappear out of thin air?" Fang Ling said hurriedly.

The three sons are a little restless, and it is not a way to be anxious at this time, so I immediately arranged for the soldiers to search door to door, and they will always find him. The city lord opened his mouth to comfort, "You go back to rest first, and I'll go out to help find it." ”

"Forget it, let's go out and find it together, where can we rest at this time, by the way, what about Uncle Liu?" Bai Ziyang said.

"The man slept in his room as soon as he came, and he didn't go out all day. "The city lord said.

"Let's go to Uncle Liu first, and trouble the city lord to arrange the task. "Bai Ziyang is decent.

"It should be, it should be, there is such a big thing in my Meicheng, I must be responsible. After saying this, the city lord left the four of them and went out in a panic.

"Uncle, can I trouble you and help us take a look at where the city lord has gone?" Bai Ziyang lowered his voice and said to the man in gray.

"Stalking the City Lord?!" The gray-clothed man's voice was small, but the shock came out very clearly, "You don't doubt it...?"

"Uncle, I'm sorry for you, if you are discovered, forget it. Bai Ziyang said, "Don't worry, my father is the White Emperor, and I will help you carry it if something happens." ”

"In vain, White Emperor?" The man in gray was surprised, was silent for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "Okay, I'll help you arrange eyeliner, but the city lord's double cultivation, if you lose it, I can't help it." ”

"Okay, thank you, uncle. Bai Ziyang arched his hand and pulled Su Ling and the two to Uncle Liu's residence.

The man in gray walked out of the City Lord's Mansion without looking back, not realizing at all that a layer of fine sweat had oozed from his forehead.

This person turned out to be the son of the White Emperor, his stupid son, and even threatened that even if the White Emperor arrived, he would be beaten, but fortunately, this person seemed to have forgotten what he had just done, so what he asked himself to do, he had to make a show of everything.
