For several days, a carriage was parked in front of the yamen, and some people became interested and asked what was going on.

After many inquiries, some people finally learned that this was the carriage of Hua Yingying, the young lady of the Hua family, but they didn't know why Hua Yingying parked the carriage here, and she herself seemed to be in the carriage all the time, except for the need for relief and food, she rarely went out of the carriage.

"Nonsense! This is nonsense! Sun Ping, bring Miss back for me!"

Huafu, after Hua Yutang learned the news, he was simply angry, how could his baby daughter be embarrassed for a man?

"Yingying, she may really like that Liu Chu, let's just let someone come to the door to say goodbye. Ma Chenggong said.

"Although this Liu Chu is not small, but that is my daughter of Hua Yutang, I have to go and bring Yingying back. After Hua Yutang finished speaking, he walked out.

"Wait a minute, then Liu Chu is also a person after all, people's hearts are flesh and blood, Yingying pursues him so much, he will be soft-hearted sooner or later. As the saying goes, men chase women across the mountain, and women chase men across the veil, isn't it?" Ma Chenggong grabbed Hua Yutang.

"Hmph, then wait for three more days and see, if this kid Liu Chu doesn't say anything, continue to leave Yingying there, and see how I clean him up!" Hua Yutang's face softened slightly.

After Ma Chenggong persuaded Hua Yutang, he squinted his eyes, like an old fox thinking.

Somehow, the news that Hua Yingying liked Liu Chu spread out, and in the end, many people came to the yamen every day to watch the excitement.

"My lord, don't you go out and have a look? Ji Yinchuan said to Liu Chu, who was reading the file.

Now the entire Caixia City is full of gossip from Hua Yingying and Liu Chu, and there are various versions.

Some say that Liu Chu fell in love with Hua Yingying, but later the two had a conflict, and Liu Chu drove Hua Yingying out of the yamen and let her think outside the yamen.

Others said that Liu Chu failed Hua Yingying, and Hua Yingying did not leave at the yamen in order to seek justice.

It is also said......

"What's so good, I'm just a passer-by in Caixia City, I'm here to investigate the case, and I'll leave if the case is solved. Liu Chu said lightly.

"Your Excellency is very calm. Ji Yinchuan said without being salty.

"Ji Yinchuan, what do you want to explain?" Liu Chu closed the file and frowned slightly.

"After all, she is such a beautiful girl, and she is still a yellow flower girl, my lord, why don't you go out and give a sentence, the carriage on this cold day must not keep warm, let her stay outside all the time, how distressed it looks to be." Ji Yinchuan pouted.

"If you feel sorry for her, then you can marry her, as long as you are not afraid of death. Liu Chu said lightly.

"How can that, I still have self-knowledge, I'm a man in his forties, and people and girls don't look down on me, and the tigress in the family can be managed tightly, I don't dare to mess with flowers outside. Ji Yinchuan said.

But soon he noticed that something was wrong, looked at Liu Chu with surprise, and said, "Why did your lord say this?

"Don't let her beauty fool her, she might be a femme fatale. Liu Chu crossed his legs, glanced at Ji Yinchuan, and continued to bury his head in the dossier.

"My lord, have you found any clues?" Ji Yinchuan hurriedly trotted over to Liu Chu and sat down, leaning in front of him and asking.

"You guys, you've never looked at these files carefully, and if you did, you might have solved the case a long time ago. Liu Chu shook his head, with some doubts in his heart, the official who was sent to investigate the missing person case at that time had obviously collected almost all the clues, but why did it end up in the end?

"By the way, do you know where the investigative officer who was sent down before has gone?" asked Liu Chu.

"That was sixteen years ago, and I really don't know where I went later, I inquired about it, and it seems that I didn't return to the Chang'an court. Ji Yinchuan said.

"My lord, tell me what clues you have found, my heart is itching now. Ji Yinchuan said again.

"Look at this dossier. Liu Chu threw a dossier to Ji Yinchuan.

"Huh, my lord, this is not the file of the Hua family, this is the success of the horse. Ji Yinchuan was shocked.

"Well, take a good look, since Ma successfully integrated into the Hua family, the business has doubled in half a year and tripled in a year, which is just like flying. Liu Chu said.

"Well, indeed. Ji Yinchuan looked at it, it was really as Liu Chu said.

During this period, the Hua family did not give Ma Chenggong much support, so how did he make his business suddenly skyrocket? I have to wonder if he used any special means. ”

"And at that time, the Hua family obtained the privilege of exempting goods from inspection in and out of Caixia City, this privilege must have been given by you, Lord Ji, in order to make up for the unfair judgment against Hua Yutang, right?" asked Liu Chu.

"Yes, my lord is right, mainly to ease the relationship, after all, I still have to collect a lot of taxes from them. Ji Yinchuan said with a smile.

At that time, Hua Yutang handed over the escort to Ma Chenggong, because the Ma family ran a dart bureau and was familiar with the escort of goods. Liu Chu said.

"Then Ma Chenggong took advantage of his power and convenience, coupled with the privilege of exemption from inspection I gave him, secretly hid people in the goods, and transported them out of the city to sell them?" Ji Yinchuan thought of this, and his whole body was excited.

"Lord Ji is not stupid, it is indeed like this. At that time, a large number of little girls were also lost, but the patriarchal mentality, coupled with the fact that there were several children in the family, some parents did not forget about the loss of their children after a while. ”

"Ma Chenggong should have made his first windfall by selling these little girls. But later, when he found that the price was higher for young and beautiful girls, he set his sights on them. ”

"After all, for the buyer who takes over, it takes a lot of time, energy and money to raise a little girl, how can an adult woman make money directly?"

As Liu Chu spoke, there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

"Is this speculation by adults? or is it confirmed?" Ji Yinchuan asked, and if it was confirmed, he immediately took someone to Ma's house to get someone.

"Speculative, but eight or nine is not far from ten. Liu Chu said.

"That's still some evidence, it's hard to get people without evidence. Ji Yinchuan scratched his head.

"I will look for it, as long as I have a direction, follow the clues to find it, and I will always find some clues. In addition, not only Ma Chenggong, but also the Hua family should also be involved. Liu Chu said.

"Hua Yutang is also involved?" Ji Yinchuan was taken aback.

"It doesn't have to be Hua Yutang, it's most likely Hua Yingying. Liu Chu said.

"Why did the adults say this?" Ji Yinchuan changed from surprise to shock, Hua Yingying, a little girl in her twenties, would actually participate in human trafficking?

"It's just speculation that Ma Chenggong hasn't been discovered for the first few years, but it can't be undiscovered all the time, that is to say, someone in the Hua family must cover for him. Liu Chu said.

"This person can't be Hua Yutang, and in the Hua family, only Hua Yingying can be above 10,000 people under one person. ”

"The most important thing is that I found that there is something wrong with Hua Yingying's background. Liu Chu's eyes were deep, like a wise man who thought.

"Is there something wrong with Hua Yingying's background?What did you find?My lord, what did you find?Can you explain it all at once??, my damn burning gossip heart!" Ji Yinchuan gritted his teeth anxiously. Liu Chu smiled and said, "I also discovered it by accident, through the information you have collected for me in the past few days. ”

More than 20 years ago, Hua Yutang and his wife never had a child, so they sought famous doctors everywhere, and half a year later, Hua Yutang came back with a child, just when everyone congratulated him, but no one cared about his wife's whereabouts. ”

"Did you find a problem with my words?" Liu Chu looked at Ji Yinchuan who was expecting him to continue.

"My lord, don't hang my appetite!" Ji Yinchuan stomped his feet with a sad face.

"Half a year! I came back half a year later and held a child! Which woman can give birth in half a year when she is pregnant?" Liu Chu said.

"What if it's born prematurely?" said Ji Yinchuan.

Liu Chu rolled his eyes and resisted the urge to kick him.

"Although I don't know what happened in the middle, but Hua Yingying, who has grown up, definitely has a problem now!" Liu Chu said.

"Then the lower official sent someone to spy on her?" Ji Yinchuan asked.

"Don't worry about her, keep an eye on Ma Chenggong, this Hua Yingying is at most an accomplice, and Ma Chenggong is the mastermind. Liu Chu thought for a while and said.

"My lord, this flower Yingying, could it be that she is trying to seduce the adult and want to buy off the adult, right? Ma Chenggong's side, is it possible to perceive that he will die at the hands of the adult?" Ji Yinchuan said suddenly.

"What if you don't buy it out, but want to get rid of it?" Liu Chu said faintly.

"Don't scare me, sir. Ji Yinchuan trembled, this flower is bright, it won't be so bold, right?

"These people, even people are tied up to buy and sell, they are all madmen, and there is nothing they can't do. The adult who came to investigate more than ten years ago, I suspect that he was secretly eliminated by Ma Chenggong. It's just that at that time, it was the time of the Great Wei reform, and maybe the adult who was eliminated was forgotten, and no one pursued and asked him where he was. Liu Chu said his own inference.

"My lord, then I'll send some people to protect your lord!" Ji Yinchuan hurriedly said.

"You sent someone to protect me?" Liu Chu smiled.

Ji Yinchuan patted his head and immediately reacted, Liu Chu still needs his own people to protect him?

"I guess they can't do anything about me, so they want to use beauty tricks to stun me and find a chance to kill me. Liu Chu said.

"This group of people is so hateful!" Ji Yinchuan gritted his teeth.

"You send someone to keep an eye on it, and I'm going to see what tricks these people have to play next. ”

Liu Chu stretched his waist and decided to get a good night's sleep tonight, flipping through these files, he had been sleeping less than three hours for several days in a row.

At night, Hua Yingying opened the curtain to look at the situation outside the carriage, then got out of the carriage and disappeared into the darkness.

Hua Yingying didn't notice that behind her, there was a small tail.

"Open the door. Hua Yingying came to a secluded alley, got inside, and knocked on the door of a house.

"Miss Hua, why are you here?" A young man opened the door and was taken aback when he saw Hua Yingying.

"Why did you see me like a ghost?" asked Hua Yingying.

"The master of the Ma family, he ......" the young man squeaked.

"What is he, what about Ma Chenggong?" Hua Yingying frowned, and said in her heart What is going on with this young man today.

"Hmm...... Tap, ah, hurry up......"

Faintly, Hua Yingying heard a sound from the room, and the sound sounded like ......

Hua Yingying's face changed slightly, she walked to the door, pushed the door open, and then saw an indescribable scene.

"Ma Chenggong!Xiaoxi!you two!" Hua Yingying's eyes widened in surprise.

Ma Chenggong actually got involved with her maid Xiaoxi!
