Chapter 19: The Case of the Disappearance of Kaifeng

Ye Ge and the other three contestants walked in, and everyone outside the inn followed them into the inn to take a look.

There was still a lot of talk in the crowd.

"The fourth contestant is actually such a thin little girl, this one must have lost. ”

"Yes, that girl is so thin and still has to participate in the Big Stomach King Competition...... Will her stomach fit it?"

Xing Yuxiang sweated for Yege in his heart, thinking to himself, "Although Yege has been very edible since she was a child, she has never participated in any competitions...... I'm a little worried......"

Subsequently, Xing Yuxiang also followed the crowd into the inn and watched.

"Okay, everyone, let's talk about the rules of the game, ask each of the four contestants to eat 45 dishes, and eat all the incense before it is burned, and if the person loses the game, he will be charged according to the food eaten, do you understand?" The shopkeeper stood at a long wooden table with a smile, introduced the rules of the game, and pointed to the incense burner burning in the incense burner behind him.

"It's over...... The savings I've worked so hard to save this month...... Grandpa Cai, I'm going to say goodbye again......" Xing Yuxiang frowned, rummaged through the money bag in his hand, counted the copper coins, and thought with some sadness.

At the large long table, four players sit in two rows, left and right, waiting for the food to be served.

The first contestant, a strong man, looked at the night song and said, "Little girl, this is not the place for you to come, and it will not be good if you lose." ”

"Winning or losing hasn't been decided yet, Bibi will know in a while, in short, I won't lose!" Xingyu Yege said confidently.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Little sister, it's too late for you to give up now, don't let your stomach hold up when the time comes. The skinny man in number two laughed mockingly.

"yes, yes, your belly is so small, I think it's only one or two plates almost full, haha" The chubby man on number three nodded and smiled.

"Come on Night Song, brother support you! You must win!" "Xing Yuxiang shouted in the crowd to encourage Xingyu Night Song.

β€œ...... It's already like this, it's not okay if you don't work hard, in short, foodie sister, you must not lose, if you lose, your brother's small money will not be saved......" Xing Yuxiang thought with some tears and laughter in his heart.

After a while, a plate of delicacies was served on the large dining table, Xiao Er lit the incense burner in front of Zhuo, the four contestants on Zhuo began to devour the dishes on the plate, and Xingyu Yege also began to eat in a big gulp....

Time passed little by little, and when the strong man at the No. 1 player at the table ate the thirty-sixth dish, he stopped his chopsticks and turned around and coughed because he ate too quickly, and he clicked something in his throat because he ate too quickly, and finally gave up the competition, took out a large amount of silver taels from his pocket, put it on the table, and turned around and left his seat.

After a while, when the thin man ate the twenty-fifth dish, he finally couldn't eat anymore, he crawled on the table, shook his hand, and put down the chopsticks in his hand... Immediately afterwards, when the fat man of the No. 3 contestant ate the 40th dish, he suddenly felt very nauseous, turned around and vomited, and finally gave up the competition.

The race has entered a tense phase... And Yege still didn't stop the chopsticks in his hand, and everyone present looked at Xingyu Yege in amazement.

"Don't say it yet. This little girl is quite able to eat, forty-five dishes, this is almost finished."

"Alas, it is still not permissible for men to be seen... Don't look at this little girl who is thin, but she eats very well. ”

When Xing Yuxiang saw it, he also opened his eyes and thought, "My God.... I didn't expect the original night song to be so edible.. It's really my sister, so good. ”

In the end, before the incense on the incense burner burned out, Xingyu Yege finally ate all the dishes he had on Zhuo, not even a single vegetable residue on the plate, this action shocked the shopkeeper of the hotel, he walked up to Yege and said: "This girl, you are really amazing... No one has ever been able to eat so many dishes, so is the taste of the little shop still satisfying?"

"Well, the food is okay, I like it. ”

Xingyu Yege said like a nobody, licking the chopsticks stained with vegetable juice with his tongue.

"I declare that this is the end of the Big Stomach King Competition, and the final winner is this little girl!"

The crowd of onlookers around applauded in surprise, Xing Yuxiang also stepped forward, he looked up and down at Xingyu Night Song, and then gave a thumbs up and said, "Good job, really worthy of my sister!"

"Whew... It's so risky, the money is finally saved... Otherwise, there are so many dishes, how much silver will I spend in exchange..."

Xing Yuxiang thought with a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Ha, brother who won the award, it's a piece of cake for these dishes. Xingyu Yege said with a smile.

Then after the game, the brother and sister walked out of the inn, and the Xingyu Night Singer took the gift and the kitchen knife and looked at it, and said with some dissatisfaction: "What, I thought I was giving me some leek stuffed buns, but it was actually a kitchen knife after a long time.."

"Still eating... Night Song, is your belly a bottomless pit?"

Xing Yuxiang glanced at Ye Ge's thin belly and said.

At this time, just as the brother and sister were walking down the stairs, a very anxious woman suddenly ran in front of them, and she asked a mother-in-law who was setting up a stall opposite, "Granny Yu, have you ever seen my family Hui'er? She didn't return last night, and I couldn't find my daughter anywhere." ”

"I didn't see your children, so don't worry, why don't you go to the yamen to report the case, I heard recently that many children are missing, and they have all gone there. Granny Yu comforted the panicked woman and said.

"Woooooooo Hui'er, where are you, my mother is such a child as you. The woman stood there crying.

"What's going on in front of you, brother, let's go see. ”

"Well, let's go. ”

So, Xingyu Yege and Xingyuxiang walked up to the woman and asked, "Excuse me, what's going on?"

"This young man, look at you dressed as a foreigner, many children have been missing at night recently, and now there are many people gathered at the yamen. ”

The jade granny next to her said.

"This kind of incident happened in such a big town, brother, let's go to the yamen to take a look, right?"

Nightsong said in shock.

"May I ask where the yamen is going?"

"Oh, go along that stone bridge, turn right and you'll see it. ”

Granny Yu pointed to the stone bridge on the right side of the inn and said.

"Thank you so much. ”

Then, Xing Yuxiang and his sister walked in the direction pointed by his mother-in-law, and after a while, they came to the gate of the yamen, and at this time a large number of ordinary people had gathered outside the door, and they had already blocked the avenue at the door.

Xing Yuxiang and Yege walked into the crowd of onlookers, but they unexpectedly stood in a row with Qiu Yuanxue and watched the excitement together, but the two of them didn't notice it yet.

"I didn't expect so many people's children to go missing. ”

Xing Yuxiang said with his hand pillar on his cheeks.

β€œ... Yes, their parents must be very worried. ”

Qiu Yuanxue, who was standing on the side, thought for a while and said.

"Huh, Sister Xue, why are you!"

Yege turned his head and saw Qiu Yuanxue standing next to Xing Yuxiang and shouted.

Immediately afterwards, Xing Yuxiang also turned his head and looked at Qiu Yuanxue, and the two of them exclaimed in unison: "Huh, why are you here?"

"Ha, it seems that the three of us are really fateful, we met in Kaifeng again after Baiyi Village, you said yes, Sister Xue. ”

Yege said with a smile.

"But what are you doing here?"

Qiu Yuanxue asked suspiciously.

"Yege and I are here to play, Miss Qiu, are you here?"

Xing Yuxiang said.

"I'm here to Kaifeng to investigate an incident, since you are also the inheritor, then I'll just say it, the iron sword that sealed the black dragon in Buzhou Mountain is gone, this matter is very serious, and I am investigating this matter. ”

Qiu Yuanxue said to Xing Yuxiang.

"What are you talking about?!Wouldn't that be bad, did you find anything over there?"

Xing Yuxiang said in shock.

"I found this pendant in Buzhou Mountain, so I followed it all the way to Kaifeng, and then I met another person before, and I heard something from her, there is a senior brother Ling Yu from the Shuzhong Immortal Sect, he may be related to the theft of the iron sword of the black dragon. ”

Qiu Yuanxue took out a pendant from her coat pocket and said in her hand.

"Hiccup.... Why is it so lively?" At this time, the drunk Le Shaoying walked into the crowd and looked at it and said.

"Shaoying, you're here too. ”

Qiu Yuanxue saw Shaoying coming over, so she greeted.

"Miss Qiu, who is this drunken woman?"

"Ha, little brother, my name is Le Shaoying, are you friends with this autumn girl?"

Le Shaoying drunkenly walked over and introduced herself.

"Brother, this sister has drunk a lot, you have to stay away from her. ”

Night Song leaned into Xing Yuxiang's ear and whispered.

"Hiccup.... This little sister, I heard everything you just said... You can't talk nonsense, as the saying goes, people can't look good, don't look at me drinking too much, but sister, I'm a good person with a sense of justice. ”

Le Shaoying said while playing with the wine gourd on his waist.

After some time, the yamen ascended to the court, and the judge in the red official uniform sat at the table in the courtroom, holding the clapper in his hand and saying, "The money will not be exchanged!"

After a while, that Jin Buchang was escorted to the judge by two ordinary people, Jin Buchang's face was covered with bruises and purple wounds, as if he had been beaten, he lowered his head and looked left and right to see kneeling in front of the judge.

"Don't change the money! You have been stealing property in the past few days, and you have abducted a large number of children at night, and you have not recruited them truthfully! Say, where have you hidden those children?"

"Wait, Judge, I am indeed greedy for money, but I definitely did not abduct or sell children!"

"Bold thief, you still dare to quibble!"

When the judge heard Jin Buchang's defense, he patted him angrily and shouted.

"Wronged, Judge, I really don't know about the child, it has nothing to do with me! I'm just stealing money. ”

"Okay, don't recruit it, come and hit fifty boards with a cane!"

The judge ordered, and the ordinary people on the left and right of the audience pressed Jin Buchang to the ground, and then several ordinary people held long black wooden sticks and slapped Jin Buchang's back violently again and again, Jin Buchang shouted in pain: "Oops... Oops.... Don't fight, don't fight, I really didn't do it...."

The crowd of onlookers outside the yamen was discussing one after another.

"If you don't change this money, you should be beaten, and if you steal money, why do you want to kidnap my child?"

"Isn't it, it's a good fight!"

After being executed, Jin Buchang crawled on the ground and said in unbearable pain: "Oops... Oops.... Don't hit the judge."

"Are you recruiting?!"

"Wait!!"

Qiu Yuanxue, who couldn't stand it in the audience, suddenly raised her hand and shouted.

"Who is bothering the detective?"

Immediately afterwards, Qiu Yuanxue walked out of the crowd and said, "It's me, Judge." ”

"Female... Woman, save me..."

"Who is this woman? Could it be that Jin Buchang's accomplice can't be changed?"

Everyone instantly focused their questioning eyes on Qiu Yuanxue's body, and Xing Yuxiang also stepped forward and said to Qiu Yuanxue: "Hey, Miss Qiu, don't mess around, this is a matter of the Yamen, we can't get involved." ”

"I know, but... It's not that the money that steals the child is not exchanged, and the real murderer can't be allowed to go unpunished. Qiu Yuanxue whispered to Xing Yuxiang.

"Sister Xue, be careful. ”

Night Song said with some concern.

"Ha, there's a good show to watch now. ”

Le Shaoying, who was on the side, looked very proud, and said with his hands flat.

"Hey, you drunkard, why don't you stop Sister Xue. ”

Xingyu said to Le Shaoying angrily.

"Little sister, what do you know? If you can really solve the problem, then any problem in the world will be solved, right?"

Le Shaoying said while holding the wine gourd and continuing to drink.

"You... Hum... Let's just say that you can't do it, let's see how Sister Xue responds next. ”

Yege was stomped by Le Shaoying's words, and she said unevenly.

Qiu Yuanxue walked to the side of the court and introduced herself and said: "Your Excellency, your name is Qiu Yuanxue, and this case of the disappearance of children is not the work of Jin Buchang. ”

"Do you have any proof that he didn't do it?"

The judge glared at Qiu Yuanxue, who suddenly stood up in front of him to make trouble, and said.

"I don't have evidence on my side, but as far as the situation is concerned, according to my analysis, this disappearance case was carried out on the same night, Jin Buchang is greedy for money, and he is good at stealing it, but the child is a living person, and so many children are missing at the same time, this is obviously impossible, and it is not in line with common sense, even if Jin Buchang has great ability, he will not be able to doppelgΓ€nger. ”

"Hmph, all this is just your guess, you dare to disturb the court without evidence, what crime should you be guilty of?"

The judge said.

"Then dare to ask the judge, do you have any evidence that the money is not exchanged for abducting children?"

Qiu Yuanxue asked directly.
