Chapter 55: The Mystery of the Girl's Disappearance
Unable to find anyone to speak, Nong Qiuyin wandered around the garden boredly.
"Do you want to pick flowers? I can accompany you. Ran Rongyi appeared in front of her and said with a coquettish smile.
"Huh, Sister Ziyan, why are you here? Oh, you hide it quickly, don't let my brother find you..."Nong Qiuyin hurriedly pushed Ran Rongyi into the room.
Ran Langyi took advantage of the situation and pulled up Nong Qiuyin's arm, "Let's go, let's go together, I promise to pick the most beautiful ones." ”
"Are you a ghost? Just now the little sheep said that the ghost will go with me to pick flowers. Unexpectedly, the ghost is not scary at all, and it is so beautiful. ”
Nong Qiuyin really didn't understand the meaning of Meng Chuanqing's words, such a statement seemed to Ran Rongyi to be insulting himself. Her face changed, and she wanted to clasp Nong Qiuyin's wrist with one hand. Who knew that Nong Qiuyin flipped her wrist and skillfully dodged it, she took two steps back, and glared at Ran Rongyi with some displeasure, "What are you doing?"
Ran Rongyi was surprised by her reaction, and said: "Shu Yu bullied me twice, this revenge will not be avenged, and he will not give up! Since you are his sister, this account will be counted on your head." ”
Nong Qiuyin was puzzled: "Can the account be counted on the head?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid for me! I have no choice but to take Shu Yu, so I will arrest you first. Then, wait for him to come and beg me. Ran Rongyi thought that this girl's kung fu would be much lower than Shu Yu's, but as soon as she made a move, she realized that she was wrong. Nong Qiuyin's kung fu is surprisingly high, far from what a three-legged cat like her can withstand.
The girl seems innocent, but the fight is absolutely amazing. Fingers, claws, palms, and fists are almost all proficient, and the four techniques are converted to each other, making people dazzled. Her jade fingers ran across Ran Rongyi's left cheek, and the latter narrowly dodged it. The jade fingers suddenly turned into claws, and then grabbed Ran Rongyi's right shoulder. Ran Langyi let out a painful sigh and popped out a pill from between his fingers and shot at Nong Qiuyin.
Nong Qiuyin hurriedly withdrew his claws, flew back, and narrowly dodged when the pill broke open and sprinkled black powder. However, some of the powder got into a certain part of her body.
Nong Qiuyin didn't notice anything abnormal, and when she saw that Ran Rongyi had fled, she didn't chase after her. She wanted to go to Meng Chuanqing, she felt that he was too accurate, that Ziyan was really not an ordinary girl.
The farmer is missing!
Shu Yu didn't see Nong Qiuyin for most of the day, thinking that she was pestering someone to play again, so he didn't pay attention to it, and it wasn't until dinner that he realized that something was wrong.
The alliance leader, Mai Changfeng, Han Zhichu, and Zhuang Fulou appeared in the hall one by one, but Nong Qiuyin was not among them. After careful questioning, I realized that they hadn't seen the farmer for a day. Shu Yu panicked, and was about to run out of the hall, but heard Zhuang Fulou say: "The peasant girl seems to be with Brother Yang and them in the morning, maybe they will come over together." ”
Shu Yu regained hope after hearing this, but he couldn't see Nong Qiuyin himself, he was still a little restless, and looked at the door frequently, as if he was looking forward to Yang Oath coming soon.
Meng Chuanqing and Yan Shangci stepped into the hall, and Shu Yu ran to the two of them and asked eagerly, "What about Nong'er, isn't she with you?"
Meng Chuanqing was a little puzzled, and when he saw that he was anxious, he replied directly: "She was with us in the morning, and she didn't see each other again after we parted at noon." ”
"Not together?" Shu Yu suddenly let out a sigh, "Then where did she go?" he ran out of the hall, chanting Nong Qiuyin's name.
Meng Chuanqing listened to his words and roughly guessed the reason for the matter. He looked at Han Lingfeng, "Alliance leader, is it possible that Nong'er is out of the mansion?"
Han Lingfeng shook his head and said, "You are guests of my house, if one of them goes out, the doorman will inform me." There is no doorman to report it yet, and the peasant girl should still be in the house. ”
Zhuang Fulou suddenly interjected: "Not only the farmer, but also another person who has not been seen for a long time. ”
After hearing this, everyone became suspicious and rushed to Lao Tian's room. As soon as they arrived outside the door, Shu Yu stopped them behind him: "Nong'er's disappearance has nothing to do with her, I believe her." ”
Zhuang Fulou said: "Why do you believe in her so much?"
Shu Yu said: "There is no reason, in short, I just believe her." "I believe that she naturally has a reason, Lao Tian was slapped by him, and it is a blessing not to die, but serious injuries are inevitable. She is now extremely weak, she has no time to regulate her breath, and how can she have the energy and time to take care of other idle things, and even to the detriment of the peasants.
Shu Yu's words had already been spoken, and everyone was not good at bothering Lao Tian anymore, so they scattered and looked for Nong Qiuyin everywhere, and Han Lingfeng also summoned the people in the mansion to look around. After he left, Shu Yu stared at Meng Chuanqing tightly and said, "Where did you separate, and where did you go after separation?"
Meng Chuanqing smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Shu, are you suspicious of me? After we separated from Nong'er in the vestibule, we went to Zhuang Fulou to play chess. ”
Shu Yu looked at Zhuang Fulou, Zhuang Fulou nodded and said: "Brother Yang's chess skills are very superb, and I admire them. ”
Shu Yu shook his head and walked to the front court, followed by Meng Chuanqing, Yan Shangci, and Zhuang Fulou. After walking more than a dozen steps, Yan Shangci suddenly tugged at Meng Chuanqing's sleeve and whispered: "Chuanqing, why did you open the door?" It turned out that several people had already walked outside Meng Chuanqing's door.
Meng Chuanqing said: "Which thief stole something and forgot to close the door!" While laughing, he had already come to the room, but was startled by the scene in the house. There was a mess on the floor, broken teacups, fruit plates, and chairs lying on their backs, as if there had just been a fight.
"What's that?" Zhuang Fulou's sharp eyes spotted something shining under the chair.
Yan Shangci was closest to the chair, picked up the thing, and put it in his hand to see that it was a string of bracelets. Blue and white gemstones are set together and connected by hair, and they are absolutely valuable. Such a rare thing appeared in Meng Chuanqing's room, which made him have an ominous premonition, seeing that this thing should be something worn by a woman, isn't it...
Sure enough, as soon as Shu Yu saw the thing clearly, he snatched it from Yan Shangci's hands. After taking a closer look, he glared at Meng Chuanqing, "You still dare to say that Nong'er's disappearance has nothing to do with you! This bracelet is a relic left to her by her mother, she has always worn it on her hand, and she never leaves her body, why does it appear in your room? What do you do to her?"
Meng Chuanqing even had a hundred mouths, and he couldn't explain it, he was silent for a long time, and said: "Maybe she came to me, met someone here, and had a fight." I don't know exactly what happened, but I would never hurt the farmer. ”
"Hmph, she came to you, wouldn't you know?" Shu Yu had already decided that Meng Chuanqing had assassinated Nong Qiuyin, and his previous good impression of him was gone, and his tone of voice was obviously a little hostile.
Yan Shangci interjected: "Shu Yu, after separating from the farmer, we will go to Zhuang Fulou, where is the opportunity to assassinate the farmer?" Yan Shangci is not the kind of reserved lady, what kind of "son", "young man", she can't call it. In her opinion, calling his name directly seemed more cordial, so she didn't care whether Zhuang Fulou was older than her or not, so she directly called his name. At this point, she has the refreshment of the children of the rivers and lakes.
Zhuang Fulou is really upright, he didn't help Meng Chuanqing speak at all, and asked Yan Shangci: "Half an hour after playing chess, where did you go?
Yan Shangci was silent, and Meng Chuanqing said: "I didn't go anywhere, I just sat in the highest place of the alliance leader's mansion for a while." ”
"I believe in Yang Shaoxia. Han Lingfeng turned back at this time, and happened to hear Meng Chuanqing's words, so he spoke for him, "The highest place in my mansion is Yunxiao Pavilion, and indeed someone has seen the two of you sitting on it for half an hour. ”
Meng Chuanqing asked, "The alliance leader has come back so soon, but there is news of the farmer?"
"Most of the people in my house are repairing in the backyard, and they haven't seen the peasant girl. ”
Shu Yu was even more disappointed after hearing this, but he heard the alliance leader say: "However, when I passed through the side courtyard, I found that there was a girl ring falling under the courtyard wall. She was struck by the palm wind, and when she woke up, the truth was revealed. ”
The two subordinates helped the girl over to her, Shu Yu stepped forward to take a look, and exclaimed, "It was the farmer who injured her!" Everyone was surprised and looked at Shu Yu one after another. Shu Yu hurriedly healed the Yahuan, and after a while, the Yahuan woke up slowly. Under the eagerness of everyone, she slowly told the story of the matter.
"I was cleaning the empty house, and when I came out to fetch water, I heard a scream coming from Yang Gongzi's house. Curious, I went to check it out, but before I could get closer, the peasant girl rushed out of the house. She looked frightened and embarrassed. I just asked, 'Girl, what's wrong with you?' and she pushed me away with a slap and ran towards the side yard. I saw that she was a little abnormal, so I hurried after her. When the peasant girl arrived at the side courtyard and wanted to climb out of the courtyard wall, I quickly stepped forward and grabbed her, and asked her what had happened. But the peasant girl didn't say a word, but slapped me, and then I was unconscious. ”
"So, you didn't see any other people in this room at that time?" Shu Yu glanced at Meng Chuanqing meaningfully and asked the girl.
Seeing that Yahuan nodded, Shu Yu's brows were even tighter. Meng Chuanqing knew what he was thinking, and said, "Are you still doubting me? He looked at Yahuan and asked, "When did you see Nong'er?"
Yahuan thought for a while and said, "It's probably about time." ”
"At that time, Brother Zhuang and I had only finished playing three games of chess. We didn't leave Brother Zhuang's room for a moment, he can prove it. Do you still want to doubt it?" Meng Chuanqing said lightly and gently. Even if he was suspected without reason, he still did not show the slightest anger, at least, not on his face - his joy and anger never showed on his face.
Shu Yu's face gradually changed, Zhuang Fulou stood between the two, and said, "It's important to find the peasant girl first." She climbed out of the nearest courtyard wall, and must have been very anxious to get out of the house..."
Before Zhuang Fulou finished speaking, Shu Yu rushed out of the room, and then turned around and climbed out of the courtyard wall. Meng Chuanqing and Zhuang Fulou were about to chase after them, but Han Lingfeng stopped them, "Don't worry, you don't know the direction of his tracking, it's futile to follow, it's better to stay here and wait for news!"
"Alliance leader, are you forcing us to stay?" Meng Chuanqing looked at him with a smile.
Han Lingfeng said with a smile: "How dare you! The peasant girl is a distinguished guest in my house, and she left for no reason, which is incomprehensible. I had to ask the two of them to stay in the house to help find clues. ”
"If the alliance leader has something to say, he might as well speak directly, and there is no need to beat around the bush. ”
"I have two questions. First, why didn't Shu Yu doubt Lao Tian? After all, he was the one who was most suspicious. Second, the subordinates in my house have a kung fu foundation, and the peasant girl knocked them out with one palm, and the kung fu is really good, what kind of sect are they?"
Meng Chuanqing smiled secretly in his heart, it turned out that the alliance leader wanted to take the opportunity to inquire about the identities of Shu Yu and the others. He pretended not to know and said, "Well, in fact, we haven't known each other for a long time. Brother Zhuang, do you know who they are?"
Zhuang Fulou said: "I only know that it is very shameful to inquire about other people's private affairs. ”
Han Lingfeng was slapped indirectly by Zhuang Fulou, and his face was not much better, but he still smiled and said, "I just asked casually." He turned around and instructed the maid ring behind him, "Clean up Yang Gongzi's room." Then he hurried away.
"Brother Zhuang, are you thinking about Lao Tian?" Meng Chuanqing saw that Zhuang Fulou was silent and asked.
Zhuang Fulou was stunned, he didn't understand why what he was thinking was guessed by him, but he heard Meng Chuanqing say, "Let's go and see together, how about it?"
The two came to Lao Tian's room and were about to knock on the door, but Lao Tian's voice came from inside the house: "I am unwell and it is inconvenient to see guests, please go back." ”
Meng Chuanqing and Zhuang Fulou glanced at each other, and at the same time put down the hand that was about to knock on the door.
"I was fine yesterday, why am I sick today?" Zhuang Fulou seemed to be extremely concerned about Lao Tian and muttered.
"Brother Zhuang, let's go!"
"But..."
Meng Chuanqing pulled him away, "But what? Everyone has said that they can't see it, what are they doing here?"
Han Lingfeng walked down the corridor with a calm face, and when he saw Mai Changfeng and Han Zhichu walking towards him, his expression changed from worry to joy, and asked, "How is it?"
Han Zhi said: "It's really as Mr. thought, Shu Yu and Nong Qiuyin are really from the Heavenly Demon Sect. ”
Mai Changfeng continued: "When I talked about Nan Wushi at the banquet yesterday, the faces of the two of them were a little wrong. Now, I can already be sure that Nong Qiuyin is Nan Wushi's daughter. As long as she is in hand, she is not afraid of not being able to find Nan Wushi. ”
Han Lingfeng sighed: "It's a pity that the two of them have left. ”
"Gone, how could Dad let them go?" Han Zhi complained a little.
Mai Changfeng said: "It's okay, go chase them back again." Governor, you stay in the mansion, and the alliance leader and I will go to them. Remember, don't let anyone else know about it. ”
Han Zhizhi glanced at Han Lingfeng, and when he saw him nodding, he said, "Sir, don't worry!" Han Lingfeng and Mai Changfeng rode away without alarming anyone.
