The book continues from the above, and the last book said that after Chu Mofeng arranged the follow-up tasks in Mianzhou, he parted ways with the Qincha Guards and led Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er to go to Xicheng County, the seat of Jinzhou Governance, from the official road to the waterway.

The three of them arrived in Xicheng County smoothly, but unexpectedly, because of Gu Zhen'er's slip of the tongue at the gate of the city, they were almost arrested by the officers and soldiers, but fortunately, Chu Mofeng showed his waist card, which turned the corner, and then Chu Mofeng ordered the commander of the city to lead the three of them to the county office, who knew that except for an old servant who swept the floor, the rest of the people in the county government were not there.

After immediately inquiring, I learned that the three classes of fast guards were divided into two ways, one went to the Assassin's Mansion to guard, and the other continued to investigate the missing girl, and then Chu Mofeng led Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er to the Assassin's Mansion to fight Qiufeng, never thought that the current Jinzhou Assassin was Li Yuanheng, the eighth son of Li Yuan.

After some staggering, Chu Mofeng promised Li Yuanheng to thoroughly investigate the case of the disappearance of the girl in Jinzhou for him, and then Li Yuanheng arranged a temporary mansion for Chu Mofeng, on the way back to the mansion, Gu Zhen'er, who was in contact with opera for the first time, instantly became obsessed with listening to opera, and from Liu Feiyan's mouth, Gu Zhen'er learned that tomorrow's cloudy opera troupe would perform in the spring flowers and autumn moon, which made the obsessed Gu Zhen'er very happy.

Due to the rush for several days and a few drinks at the place of Li Yuanheng, the king of the drunk, after returning to the temporary mansion, Chu Mofeng felt sleepy for a while, and then hastily washed up and fell asleep on the bed, in the dream, Chu Mofeng walked in a narrow passage, surrounded by darkness, only a faint glimmer of light ahead, as if guiding Chu Mofeng forward, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and an inexplicable aroma, Chu Mofeng wanted to find out the fire fold to illuminate, but found that there was nothing in his arms, and then subconsciously touched his waist, but found his dart, the other side of the Yellow Spring and the burning sky behind it are all gone.

In desperation, Chu Mofeng could only run quickly forward, but he used all his strength but could not reach the end, just as Chu Mofeng was leaning on the side and panting, suddenly the entire passage was full of light, but what came into view was a bloodless face, and the sudden scene woke Chu Mofeng from his sleep, and reached out to look behind, but found that he was already sweating profusely.

Got out of bed and poured a glass of water, Chu Mofeng sat on the edge of the bed and recalled the scene in the dream, and couldn't help but wonder, what did those bloodless women mean?

This time, I don't know how many hours I slept on, but when Chu Mofeng woke up again, he was awakened by the noise outside the window, and when he was coming back to his senses in bed, he saw that the door was suddenly pushed open, and a colorful figure rushed into the room, and came straight to Chu Mofeng's bed, and when Chu Mofeng reacted, he found that his arm was lifted by someone who came, and then shook it, "Brother Feng, let's go to Chunhua and Qiuyue to investigate the case today, okay?"

Chu Mofeng only saw clearly at this time that the person who came was Gu Zhen'er, and vaguely remembered that Liu Feiyan seemed to mention yesterday that the troupe would perform in the Chunhua Qiuyue Restaurant today, and immediately understood Gu Zhen'er's careful thoughts, and then looked at Gu Zhen'er with a blank face and said: "Zhen'er, we are here to investigate the case this time, and now the person who kidnapped the girl is still at large, as a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, you and I have to punish the evil and promote the good, besides, you and I are both people who eat the court, how can we make a corpse vegetarian meal." ”

A lecture made Gu Zhen'er instantly ashamed, so she had to turn around and prepare to walk out, but as soon as she walked to the door, Chu Mofeng's voice came from behind her, "Later, you and Feiyan will go to the spring flowers and autumn moon first, and this king will go out and then arrive." ”

Hearing this, Gu Zhen'er nodded vigorously, opened the door and ran out of the door, and Chu Mofeng shook his head helplessly, hurriedly got up to wash and change clothes, and then left the temporary mansion and came to the street, looked around on the street, and learned the location of the carriage and horse shop, Chu Mofeng walked towards the carriage and horse in the direction pointed by passers-by.

Coming to the door of the carriage and horse shop, Chu Mofeng suddenly found that a long fence had been erected between the carriage and horse shop and the building next door, which seemed to be set up to block something, and at the other end of the fence, the door of the Chunhua Qiuyue Restaurant was crowded, and everyone was full of excited expressions, looking in a certain direction on the street.

If he hadn't heard the play at Li Yuanheng, the king of Xu, last night, maybe Chu Mofeng would have doubted which one had joined the army with such a big pomp, recalling the excited expressions of those official eunuchs and family members yesterday, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and walked straight into the carriage and horse shop.

At this time, there were no guests in the carriage and horse shop, and the shopkeeper Han Si stood in front of the counter, listening to the noisy sound next door, and turned to his younger brother Han Wu and said, "Is this a bad show?

"Brother, what you said is not right, can our Highness be comparable to that broken drama? What a mighty existence our Highness is, a broken drama is not worthy of pouring him night incense. It seemed to remind him of the scene where Zhou Youran poured night incense, and Han Wu, who was drinking tea on the chair on the side, couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, I only heard a slightly lost voice from outside the door, "Your Highness has not seen how eager this people are, it is not a nose and two eyes, Your Highness is not as good as a play." ”

As soon as they heard this, Han Si and Han Wu hurriedly raised their heads and looked in the direction of the door, only to see a familiar figure standing at the door, and the two hurriedly ran forward when they saw this, and bowed respectfully to this person and said: "The shopkeeper of the Jinzhou Carriage and Horse Company, the wanderer of Jinzhou Station, Han Si and Han Wu have seen His Royal Highness King Xian, I don't know why His Royal Highness King Xianwang suddenly came here?"

"Go, go, didn't the two of you let Jin Erniang summon this king through the flying pigeon?" Sitting straight on the chair, taking the tea handed by Han Si, Chu Mofeng said with a solemn face: "Don't talk too much, tell me about this girl's disappearance." ”

Chu Mofeng is learning about the case here, in the Chunhua Qiuyue Restaurant over there, in a room in the corner, Zhou Youran, who played the role of joining the army in the Yunmantian Opera Troupe, is arguing fiercely with people in the house at the moment, and through the crack in the door, you can faintly see that it is a woman who is arguing with her, after all, the current Tang Dynasty, even if it is a eunuch in the palace, will definitely not smear anything on her nails, only women will carefully modify their nails.

The two didn't seem to have reached any agreement, or they didn't negotiate, but as soon as the door opened, Zhou walked out angrily, and said at the door: "I didn't expect you to become like this after so many years, it's so disappointing to me." As soon as he spoke, he flicked his sleeves and hurriedly left the place.

Gu Zhen'er, who got Chu Mofeng's permission, dragged Liu Feiyan to the spring flowers and autumn moon after Chu Mofeng left, and when she entered the restaurant, she found that it was already full of friends, relying on her identity as the guard of the virtuous king, Gu Zhen'er also exercised a privilege and asked the restaurant guys to arrange the best position for the three of them, and then beckoned Liu Feiyan to sit down, and after Liu Feiyan sat down, Gu Zhen'er got up straight and prepared to meet Chu Mofeng.

Because there were too many people in the house, Gu Zhen'er pushed and crowded all the way, and it was easy to get to the counter, but who knew that she was hit head-on, and the whole person was planted backwards, but fortunately, the person who hit the person reacted quickly and hugged Gu Zhen'er, thus preventing the momentum of her falling to the ground.

And Zhou Youran didn't seem to have any indecent intentions, but instead gave Gu Zhen'er a salute and said: "Girl, please forgive me, Fang is Xiaosheng Meng Lang, I didn't see the girl coming, and please don't blame the girl." ”

In the whole spring flowers and autumn moon, most of the people who came to watch the play were for the fame of Yun Mantian, and the other half were for Zhou Youran, a white-faced boy, and Gu Zhen'er was one of them, this is not to say that Gu Zhen'er no longer likes Chu Mofeng when she sees something different, but when a person suddenly comes into contact with a new thing, it is inevitable that there will be a period of extreme obsession, and Gu Zhen'er is now out of this period.

Seeing that Zhou Youran apologized to herself, Gu Zhen'er immediately bowed like a little daughter, and then said glutinously: "It's okay, I just left in a hurry and bumped into my son, please don't care about it." Then the two of them laughed sneering for some reason, but this scene was seen by a pair of eyes on the second floor, only to see a flash of lust in those eyes, and then disappeared again.

"So that's the case, then have you checked to see if these three girls have anything in common before they disappeared?" After listening to Han Si and Han Wu's reports, Chu Mofeng picked up the teacup with a puzzled face, took a sip to himself, and said: "Since there is no enemy, not for robbery, not for robbery, then there is only one possibility left --- killing." ”

Immediately, Chu Mofeng got up and said to Han Si and Han Wu: "This king is going to the county government to get the file of the three of her, you pay close attention to the trends in other aspects, especially this restaurant, since this king is close to this restaurant, I always feel uncomfortable." ”

When the two heard this, they said yes, and then Chu Mofeng left the carriage and horse shop, and walked in the direction of the county office, but when they came to the county hall they saw that the county order Lin Youshen was still studying the file, and when they saw Chu Mofeng coming, Lin Youshen hurriedly got up to greet him, and at this moment Chu Mofeng didn't care about these false courtesies, waved his hand and said: "Lin County Order, this king came this time to check the file on the missing girl, I don't know if Lin County Order is convenient?"

When Lin Youshen heard this, he hurriedly presented the file he was studying to Chu Mofeng, "His Royal Highness King Qiqi, what Xia Guan Shicai is studying is, please take a look." ”

Chu Mofeng picked up the dossier, found a chair and sat down, and then read it carefully one by one. Cheng Xiaoyun, who is the shopkeeper of the restaurant, looked at the flowing water on the account book, and seemed to be a little excited, glancing at the stage from time to time, but there was a hint of imperceptible smile in the corner of his eyes.

In a building somewhere in Xicheng County, Lin Yuanyuan, who had been detained for a long time, after three or four days of hard work, broke the shackles of her hands and feet with broken stone chips that she got out of nowhere, and then walked towards the cage with a rolling belt, opened the door and found a girl lying in the cage.

After calling several times in succession and no response, Lin Yuanyuan reached out to probe under his nose, and found that there was still breathing, and immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, and put Zhao Xiaowan down gently, Lin Yuanyuan began to look for an exit in this dark room, groping inch by inch along the surrounding walls, Lin Yuanyuan suddenly felt air flow on a wall, and when she was about to put her ear here and listen carefully, she found that there was a faint sound of gongs and drums and cheers, Lin Yuanyuan boldly guessed that she should be in a theater somewhere, but after thinking about it, there is no special theater in Xicheng County, either performing on the street, or in a restaurant, or in the mansion of an official or an official。

Thinking of this, Lin Yuanyuan first excluded the street and the restaurant, after all, these two places are crowded with people, and they are not suitable for hiding people; and the Assassin's Mansion was also excluded, and he had heard his father mention in private that this King Li Yuanheng had worked hard since he arrived because of some problems with the royal family, and he did not dare to do anything beyond the slightest, so the rest was the mansion of those officials, but it was impossible to know which one it was.

Then Lin Yuanyuan returned to the cage where Zhao Xiaowan was, and sat on the ground without caring about it, thinking about how to save herself.

After browsing through all the three files, Chu Mofeng slowly closed the files and thought about it, these three files seemed to be unrelated, but after careful scrutiny, he was still able to find some hidden connections, but just these subtle connections did not seem to be able to point out who the murderer was, and it seemed that he still needed to go to the other two's mansions to ask.

Thinking of this, Chu Mofeng first arched his hand at Lin Youshen, and then asked with a solemn face: "Lin County Order, did Ling Yan have anything unusual before he disappeared?"

"It's nothing, before the little girl disappeared, it happened to be the birthday celebration of the insider, the elder sister of Liangzhou came to congratulate, and the lower official set up a banquet in the spring flowers and autumn moon, and invited Yun Mantian to sing by the way, and then the little girl followed the eldest sister back to Liangzhou to live on the same day, and disappeared after returning three days later. Hearing that King Xian asked, Lin Youshen still answered one by one despite the grief in his heart.

I saw Chu Mofeng nodded and said: "This king is going to the other two families to inquire now, and also ask Lin County to order the assembly of three classes of officials to arrest quickly, and go to Chunhua and Qiuyue first, if there is not enough manpower, you can go to the king of Yu to mobilize the defenders of Jinzhou, be sure to surround the people in the restaurant, and no one can run." ”

Seeing this, Lin Youshen also knew that the situation was urgent, so he immediately nodded and walked to the gate of the county government and sounded the drum of grievances, but Chu Mofeng didn't care about all this, so he left the county government on his own, and hurried to the remaining two households to inquire.

In the Chunhua Qiuyue Restaurant, Gu Zhen'er, who was sitting in the middle of watching the play, found that Chu Mofeng had not arrived for a long time, and she couldn't help but be a little disappointed while being excited, Liu Feiyan on the side whispered in her ear when she saw this: "My good sister, your love brother is not the one on the stage, he only knows how to play the wind and snow, your love brother is a person who does great things, in the capital for so many years, you can see that he has entered the theater once?" Most of the time he spent either discussing things with His Majesty in the imperial study, or running around, so he probably wanted to thoroughly investigate the matter of Jinzhou City today. ”

After listening to Liu Feiyan's words, Gu Zhen'er nodded, and then Liu Feiyan said with a smile: "You can watch the play with peace of mind today, your brother knows that you like it, and specially asked you to come, you don't think that he will really come if he asks you to stay in a seat, right?"

Leaving the county government directly, Chu Mofeng rushed to the mansion of Zhao Qiande, the shopkeeper of the Xingyun Warehouse, and after knocking on the door to identify himself, Zhao Qiande respectfully welcomed Chu Mofeng to the main hall, and after Chu Mofeng sat down, Zhao Qiande suddenly knelt down in front of him and said: "His Royal Highness King Xian is above, and the villain implores His Royal Highness to be the master of the villain......

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng got up and helped Zhao Qiande up, and then said softly: "Shopkeeper Zhao should not be like this, this king came here to be invited by His Royal Highness King Yu to thoroughly investigate the disappearance of the girl, there are a few questions that this king wants to ask, and I hope that Shopkeeper Zhao knows everything." ”

Hearing that the other party came to thoroughly investigate the disappearance of his daughter, Zhao Qiande immediately got up and said to Chu Mofeng: "Please ask His Royal Highness King Xian, the villain must not hide it." ”

"It is mentioned in the dossier that Ling Yan left a letter saying that she went out of the city to meet with a friend, have you seen this so-called friend?" According to what was mentioned in the dossier, Chu Mofeng first threw out a question.

"I haven't seen it, it's just that before the little girl disappeared, the villain used to stay with her to go to the restaurant to listen to the play, and soon after she came back, the little girl said that she had made new friends. After thinking about it carefully in his mind for a long time, Zhao Qiande always remembered these things before and after his daughter's disappearance.

Chu Mofeng nodded when he heard this, and then whispered a few words in Zhao Qiande's ear, and then Zhao Qiande nodded, and after Chu Mofeng left, he led the servants and miscellaneous servants in the house and walked towards the Spring Flower and Autumn Moon Restaurant.

Then Chu Mofeng rushed to the mansion of the cloth merchant Sun Guicai, and saw a strange man visiting, and the family members couldn't help but be a little vigilant, plus the second lady in the house was always missing, and the family members immediately surrounded him, Chu Mofeng sneered and said: "Go and tell your master, Tang Chu Mofeng came to visit, if you don't want to rescue your young lady, I will leave immediately." ”

As the saying goes, the name of the shadow man of the tree, now the words "Xianwang", "Imperial Brother", and "Chu Mofeng" are well-known in the Central Plains, and when they heard that the other party is Chu Mofeng, one of them ran towards the mansion with a rolling belt, and after a while, he saw Sun Guicai leading the mansion up and down in a hurry, and bowed to Chu Mofeng, "Sun Guicai has only seen His Royal Highness King Xian. ”

Seeing that there were sixty or seventy-year-old people in the crowd, it was estimated that they were Sun Guicai's elders, Chu Mofeng hurriedly waved his hand and motioned for everyone to get up, and then Chu Mofeng walked into the mansion under the leadership of Sun Guicai, and after taking a seat in the main hall, Sun Guicai looked at the virtuous king in front of him cautiously, not sure about his intention to come this time.

Finding that Sun Guicai was so cautious, Chu Mofeng immediately held the teacup and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Sun, please rest assured, this king doesn't like anything to fight the autumn wind, firstly because the tutor is like this, and secondly, because there is the support of the Lingnan Song family behind this king, do you understand?"

As soon as he heard the words 'Lingnan Song family', Sun Guicai immediately knew that he was really a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and now the Tang Dynasty talks about financial resources, and the Li family in Guanzhong is the royal family, but it is still not as good as the Lingnan Song family, originally according to the practice of the previous dynasty, the gate valve family is better than the royal family, and it will definitely be cut off, who knows that behind the Lingnan Song family is the imperial brother in front of him, which makes everyone unaware, and because of this person's face, the royal family is not good to suppress the Lingnan Song family.

Thinking of this, Sun Gui asked softly: "I don't know why His Highness came to the Humble House today?"

"Has Ling Qianjin Sun Yue'er found it?" Chu Mofeng was not ambiguous when he saw this, and went straight to the topic, "If you don't find it, take someone to Spring Flower and Autumn Moon later, and this king will find it for you." ”

Hearing that someone was here to find his daughter, Sun Guicai immediately knelt on the ground and cried at Chu Mofeng. After some inquiry, I learned that Sun Guicai's daughter had also gone to see Yun Mantian singing. Then Chu Mofeng instructed Sun Guicai to take people to Chunhua Qiuyue, and he left Sun's Mansion directly.

Walking on the street, Chu Mofeng slightly integrated the news he obtained, it stands to reason that Yun Mantian is the most suspicious, but according to Han Si and Han Wu's reports, every time Yun Mantian comes to perform, he will leave immediately at the end of the day, and he will definitely not delay two days in one place, at least in Xicheng County, the carriages hired by Yun Mantian are all from Jinzhou Carriage and Horse Travel, since Yun Mantian can be temporarily excluded, what about the spring flowers and autumn moons? What kind of grudge does a restaurant have against these women? It can't be said that these women and someone in the restaurant are in love with the same person?

As soon as this thought came out, it was immediately like a bolt of lightning in Chu Mofeng's mind, and then Chu Mofeng quickened his pace and turned around and walked towards the county office.

The repertoire in the restaurant here was only halfway through, Gu Zhen'er suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her abdomen, and immediately got up and said to Liu Feiyan, and walked towards the thatched house in the backyard.

At this time, Li Yuanheng, the king of Xu, received Lin Youshen's request, in line with the attitude of not thinking of a big deal to see the excitement, with half of the defenders of Jinzhou, surrounded by three floors around the restaurant, and then pushed open the door of the Chunhua Qiuyue Restaurant accompanied by Lin Youshen, Sun Guicai and Zhao Qiande, the restaurant guy saw His Royal Highness the King of Yu coming, and immediately went to tell Cheng Xiaoyun, who was the shopkeeper, after a while, I saw Cheng Xiaoyun walking downstairs with a smile, and said with a smile to Li Yuanheng: " I don't know that His Royal Highness the King has arrived, and the little woman has missed the welcome, and I hope that His Royal Highness will forgive her sins, and dare to ask His Highness what is the so-called matter when he came here today?"

I saw Li Yuanheng looking cynical, stretched out his fingers and plucked out his ears and said: "This cloudy drama continues to be played, this king is just entrusted by my brother Xianwang to lead people to surround this spring flower and autumn moon, and when my brother Xianwang arrives, everything will be known." ”

Hearing that this place was surrounded by a group, a group of people watching the play were surprised, and couldn't help but start to discuss, for a while the hall was full of people, and the county commander Lin Youshen saw this, and immediately shouted: "Shut up, watch the play that should be watched, and act when His Royal Highness King Xian arrives." ”

And Zhou Youran, who was performing on stage, heard that the restaurant was surrounded, his face changed and looked towards a certain place in the lobby, and then turned his head and started his performance......

As the saying goes, see the light of day when you clear the clouds and mist, and look at the serious murder in Chu Mofeng Restaurant, and then look at Gu Zhen'er's cellar to save herself, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
