247 Disappearing Water Hibiscus
Shi Zhongyu played the guqin, and the sound of the piano was elegant, but Xiong Wei didn't listen to it at all.
He was thinking about Shui Hibiscus, and he even faintly heard Shui Hibiscus calling out to himself in his ears to save her.
He thought about it, and his hand slipped and broke the cup on the table.
"Ga!" At this time, Shi Zhongyu's strings broke.
It is not the first time that the prefect has listened to Shi Zhongyu play the piano, for so many years, Shi Zhongyu has never broken the strings. As soon as the strings were broken, Xiong Wei happened to break the cup again, and the prefect was a little unhappy, he felt that Shi Zhongyu swept Xiong Wei's Yaxing.
The prefect hurriedly made amends, and said again and again: "Don't be surprised, don't be surprised, Lord Xiong." ”
As he spoke, he said to Shi Zhongyu: "Why don't you hurry up and change the strings." ”
"Forget it, since the strings are broken, don't listen to it. Your Excellency, you go down first. I talked to Miss Shi alone. ”
Xiong Wei rarely took the initiative to speak, the prefect is a person who knows things, how can he sweep Xiong Wei's interest?
"Yes! I'm just waiting outside, and if there's anything, just call me. So saying, he walked out.
As soon as the prefect walked out, Xiong Wei hurriedly walked to Shi Zhongyu's side and said anxiously: "I don't know why, I always have a feeling that Miss Yu has an accident over there." ”
"I also have a bad feeling that when I woke up this morning, my eyelids were jumping all the time. Now the strings are broken again. I have played this guqin since I was a child, and I have broken the strings twice. The first time was when our house was ransacked, and the second time was today. ”
When Xiong Wei heard this, he also became nervous, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Could it be that Miss Yu really has an accident?" No, I'm going to the Salt Gang to take a look." ”
"How are you going? Now the prefect is guarding outside. Xia Yun reminded, "Leaving in a hurry will arouse the suspicion of the prefect." ”
Xiong took a deep breath and clenched his fists. "But I can't just sit idly by!"
"Don't worry about the two of you, what if you're all scaring yourself?" Xia Yun comforted.
"No!" Xiong Wei supported his right hand with his left hand, his chin with his right hand, his brows were furrowed, he looked at Shi Zhongyu, and said seriously: "I can't leave now, you can go." You said that you were going back to change the strings, and you would take the opportunity to go to the Salt Gang to see Miss Yu's whereabouts. ”
"Okay, I'll go! But we still have to make a show. You have to drive me away in front of the prefect, so that I can get out. Otherwise, he would still be haunting me. ”
"It's simple. Xiong Wei said, walked to the other side and slammed the cup on the ground viciously, shouting: "Lord Prefect, take this stinky girl away for me!"
The prefect heard movement inside and immediately ran in. Look at the jade in the stone, and look at the bear.
Xiong Wei said fiercely: "I'm annoyed when I see you, don't you hurry up and get out of me." Put on a good piano and come back!"
Shi Zhongyu took the opportunity to leave quickly.
The prefect didn't know what was going on, looking at Xiong Wei like this, it was estimated that Shi Zhongyu had offended Xiong Wei by speaking, and hurriedly said good things to Xiong Wei. "Lord Xiong, there are still a lot of interesting things in this garden, I'll take you to the pine and cypress garden to have a look. ”
"Let's go!" Xiong said as he walked out quickly.
The prefect took Xiong Wei to the pine and cypress garden, and along the way told Xiong Wei what was the origin of this pine tree, and what was the origin of that cypress tree.
Xiong Wei went in his left ear and went out in his right ear, no matter what the prefect said, he said it was good, very good. He had to hide his thoughts, but he couldn't let the prefect see any clues.
The sun gradually hid into the mountains to the west, and the clouds on the horizon were dyed purple red.
Xiong Wei finally coped with the prefect and was able to get out.
Xiong Wei left the prefect's private residence and hurried to Yihong Courtyard. He didn't care that he would be followed by the prefect, and at this moment, he only had the safety of Shui Hibiscus in his heart.
"Bang!" he pushed open the door of Shi Zhongyu and asked anxiously, "Is Miss Yu back?"
"Yu'er, are you back?" Shi Zhongyu asked excitedly when he heard the sound of the door opening.
Xiong Wei stood by the door, Shi Zhongyu stood in the room, and the two looked at each other, both looking at each other in disappointment.
It seems that Miss Yu has not returned. Xiong Qi couldn't help but say.
Xia Yun glanced at the room, not only did Shui Furong not come back, but Ouyang Ying and Xiaoyaozi did not come back either.
"Didn't Ying'er and Master come back either?" Xia Yun asked as she watched.
"Miss Ouyang, they are going to Yantian, and they won't be back until tomorrow at the earliest. It's normal not to come back now. Just ......"
"Just what?" Xiong asked anxiously, "Did you go to the Salt Gang today?" ”
"I'm going to the Salt Gang. The Salt Gang said that no one had been there today at all. I went to the pier again, and there was no mention of the fish on the pier. Shi Zhongyu said with a very disappointed expression.
Xiong Wei was nervous now, his brows furrowed, and he asked, "Does Miss Yu know anyone else in Yangzhou?"
Shi Zhongyu recalled as he spoke: "As far as I know, although Yu'er knows many people, I am the only one I really know in Yangzhou. Every time I come to Yangzhou, I will only look for me. ”
"That's when something really happened. Xiong Wei now proved his reasoning even more.
He paused and said, "No, I've decided to go to the Salt Gang and ask Miss Shi to lead the way." ”
"Okay, I'll take you to the Salt Gang. Shi Zhongyu said, unable to sit still.
Xiong Wei left Xia Yun to wait in Yihong Courtyard, and he and Shi Zhongyu quickly came to the door of the Salt Gang.
"Go and ask your deputy helper to come out and meet you. Shi Zhongyu said very unceremoniously to the two gatekeepers.
"Miss Shi, what's going on lately? ”
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up. Xiong Wei glared at the two brothers and said.
The two men hurried in to report back, and after a while.
Xiong Wei saw a person coming from inside, the corners of his mouth were crooked, and his face was full of smirk.
"Deputy Gang Leader Ran, Zhongyu is polite here. Shi Zhongyu said hello to the man.
Xiong Wei thought to himself: I think this person is the deputy leader of the Salt Gang.
"What kind of wind is this, so that the first beauty in Jiangnan ran to my small place twice a day today. ”
"If the No. 1 gang in Jiangnan is just a broken place, then what is my little Yihong Courtyard?"
"It's the middle of the night, Miss Shi doesn't know what's going on, please inside!"
"No, I just want to ask, I have a sister, her complexion is like snow, she is dressed in a red gauze dress, I asked her to come to the salt to help me do something this morning, and she hasn't gone back yet, I came to ask. ”
"I'm out on an errand today. I've heard from my brothers about it. I asked my subordinates too. Don't talk about girls in the Salt Gang today, even the mosquitoes haven't seen a single female. The girl had better go and inquire elsewhere!"
"This ......" Shi Zhongyu didn't know what to say for a while, if the salt gang insisted that Shui Furong hadn't come, she wouldn't have anything to do.
She looked at Xiong, who gave her a look and motioned for her to leave first.
"Then I'll take my leave. Shi Zhongyu said and left with Xiong Wei.
Not far from the Salt Gang, Xiong Wei stopped. "During the day, when you came, did you see this deputy gang leader?"
"No!" Shi Zhongyu shook his head.
"I still think Miss Yu is in the Salt Gang. Xiong Wei had a strong instinct and told him that something had happened to Shui Furong, but now he didn't have any evidence that Shui Furong had an accident in the Salt Gang. He thought helplessly.
"If something happened to Miss Yu, then what are they holding Miss Yu for?"
"Since the old gang leader said that he couldn't get sick, there have been more and more strange things. I don't have much to do with the Salt Gang anymore. ”
"Could it be that Miss Yu is lost?" Xiong Wei guessed again.
Yu'er has a good sense of direction, even if it is the first time she goes to a place, she will never get lost. What's more, she has been to Yangzhou City more than once. ”
Xiong Wei raised his head suddenly, looked at Shi Zhongyu very seriously, and said, "In this way, can you ask the old helper to help check the whereabouts of Miss Yu." ”
"If only I could meet the old gang leader, it would not be difficult for this little thing. Don't say that the fish went to the Salt Gang and disappeared, as long as I went to any place in Yangzhou and disappeared, I could ask him to help me find it. It's just that now I can't even see the face of the old gang leader, so I can't speak. Shi Zhongyu sighed, she couldn't do anything, and she felt very guilty.
"I have a bold idea!" Xiong Wei suddenly said firmly, in fact, he had already thought of this idea before he came.
"You mean the Night Salt Gang?" Shi Zhongyu knew what he was thinking as soon as he guessed.
"Yes!" said Xiong Wei firmly.
"However, even if you visit the Salt Gang at night, you don't know if Miss Yu is in the Salt Gang. Even if Miss Yu is in the Salt Gang, looking like this, the Salt Gang must have detained her. Otherwise, we went twice and they said they didn't see it. ”
"I'm not going to look for Miss Yu, I want to go to the old helper. ”
Xiong Wei was very confident in saying his route to save people. "Didn't they say that the old gang leader was sick? We went straight to the old gang leader's room. Then, ask Miss Shi to explain everything to the old helper. Just ......"
"Just what? Are you worried that I'm not familiar with the terrain of the Salt Gang?" Shi Zhongyu agreed with him.
"Miss Shi is so smart! This matter must be fast, Miss Yu has nothing to do. If something really happens, it's bad. It is better to save people sooner rather than later. ”
"Don't worry, I used to go to all the places in the Salt Gang, except for some dark pavilions, I don't know, I am familiar with all the other places. ”
"Alright, let's go straight to the old gangmaster's room. Xiong Wei's mind suddenly felt very clear, even if he was caught by the Salt Gang, he would do it.
Shi Zhongyu chuckled in her heart, and she saw his caring eyes for Shui Hibiscus from Xiong Wei's eyes. She is very sure that the relationship between Shui Hibiscus and Xiong Wei is not ordinary. However, let's rescue the water hibiscus first.
The two quickly returned to the Salt Gang.
Shi Zhongyu doesn't know martial arts, so Xiong Wei can only carry her on his back. Under her guidance, they went to the old gangmaster's room.
Xiong Wei quietly lifted the tiles, and he scanned the room, and was surprised to find that there was no one in the room.
He motioned for Shi Zhongyu to take a look. Shi Zhongyu took a closer look from the place where Xiong Wei lifted the tile, and there was indeed no one in the room.
Xiong Wei pointed in the direction he came, Shi Zhongyu nodded, and the two of them motioned to each other to leave.
