One or two branches of plum outside the bamboo

Chapter 39
Yan Maodong didn't expect Lincheng to be so defensive, so he retracted his hand in embarrassment, and then hurriedly bent over to make a loss.

"Master, Xiaomin is in a hurry and can't do anything about it. The young niece in the family sneaked away and has been away from home for more than ten days. Xiaomin is worried and has no way to chase people all the way, so he took the liberty to ask."

The guard saw that he didn't look fake, and the coldness in his eyes took two points before he said.

"Since that's the case, you should look for talents, and why are you entangled with me!"

Yan Maodong was full of sorrow.

"Xiaomin chased him all the way and chased a coachman, saying that two children were sent to this city gate. Only then did Xiaomin dare to ask a few people. I don't know if I saw two children entering the city in the evening before the eighth day. , is a female household, and the head of the household is Yan Qingzhi, who is only ten years old this year..."

Although it was for money and not for people, his urgency was so real that several guards who came over could feel his mood.

The guarding that he had been vigilant about before was also relieved a lot, but he still asked cautiously.

"How can such a small child have a female household?"

Speaking of this, Yan Maodong sighed, his face even more sad.

"My eldest brother has a lot of hatred towards the family because of his father's later marriage. He has not been very close to us. He has never explained to us when he was seriously ill. I am ashamed to say anything here, and it is inconvenient to say more. Right now, the small people just want to find them. two children,"

Yan Maodong covered his face with his sleeves, blocking his somewhat irritable face.

But those guards thought he was ashamed and shameful, and their trust in him increased by two points, and they were willing to help recall one or two.

Regarding the news of Yan Qingzhi, the guards at the gate of the city really know a lot. The day Yan Qingzhi entered the city, he stepped on the spot, and because he was two children, eight days was not a long time. Someone remembers.

But no one knows when he left the city.

Yan's sister and brother originally left with the caravan, and they did not go through this door. Yan Maodong's repeated inquiries were fruitless.

The people who were waiting to enter the city at the back were a little impatient, and the guards really didn't know the situation. After being scolded by the people in the queue, he could only enter the city angrily.

Lincheng is a large city with a population of 10,000+, and the entire city occupies a very large area.

At this time, there were no high-rise buildings in later generations. Every family had a single house and a single courtyard. There are only [-] or [-] people living in the yard of Ping Sanjin, and even only one or two old servants are left to look after them.

Under such a plan, the land area required for a city with 10,000+ people is not much different from that of a city with a population of tens of millions in the future.

One can imagine how difficult it would be to find two children in such a city!
Yan Maodong sighed deeply, and led his horse and two accompanying servants, thinking about where he was going to look.

Just when he was confused, he suddenly heard someone calling him.

"Is it the third master of the Yan family?"

Yan Maodong is very sensitive to others mentioning the Yan family. Although he is not the third master, he turned his head to look at the person who came.

The man's clothes are not fancy, and his facial features are not distinctive, but he seems to be missing a front tooth when he speaks, his hair is messy, and he does not wear a hat.

As soon as Yan Maodong heard the voice and turned his head to look at him, he was immediately excited, and he quickly took a few steps forward and asked again.

"Is it Yan Mao Qiuyan's third master?"

Yan Maodong looked at the man carefully from top to bottom, and asked vaguely.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Hearing Yan Maodong's answer, the man almost burst into tears, it's been eight days!He has been waiting here for eight days!

"Third Master, it's so hard to wait for you, little one!"

After that, he rushed up crying, Yan Maodong looked vigilant, and quickly backed away, and the two people who followed him quickly stopped the man.

After the cleaning a few days ago, the Yan family is now the remaining long-term servants, and they are all discerning. These things do not need Yan Maodong's instructions, they already know their duty!

The man saw that the other party was too wary of him and knew that he would not gain the other party's trust if he didn't explain some things, so he hurriedly said.

"Xiaoxiao is waiting for you here on the request of Young Master Qingzhu! Look, this Qianxiao is ready!"

As he said that, he stretched out his hand covered with cloth strips, and tremblingly took out a [-]-string silver note from his arms, and handed it to Yan Maodong with tears in his eyes.

Yan Maodong was still confused for a moment when he heard about the young master Qingzhu, but he immediately realized that what the other party said should be one of the goals of his trip, Yan Qingzhu.

When he thinks of that little brat, his mood doesn't get better!
When he saw the other party handing over a piece of paper, he instinctively felt that it was some kind of provocative and clamorous words, but who knows, when he took a closer look, it turned out to be giving him money.

In an instant, he was even more annoyed!
These two little brats, who cheated a thousand guans at home, actually only took out so much to send him, not to mention that he was not greedy with long-term workers and servants, he came alone, and he wanted to pay for twenty guans. Who is he looking down on!
When Yan Maodong saw Qian, his face became even more ugly, and the man's legs were soft!
"Third Master, this is what Yan Qingzhu agreed with our brothers. I'll give you twenty pieces. You will give me the antidote for the Ten Days Heartbroken Pill. Don't you want to admit it!"

Yan Maodong didn't listen to the other party's words seriously at all, and he was irritable, but considering that the other party knew the news of Yan Qingzhu, although he was not happy, he still perfunctory.

"You don't need to explain things to me."

In line with the principle that a little less is a little, Yan Maodong took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to take the bank note, but at the moment when he stretched out his hand, the man quickly retracted his hand and looked straight at Yan Mao. winter.

"Father, what about the antidote?"

Where did Yan Maodong know what the antidote was? He stretched out his hand a little longer, and pulled the silver note over at once. The opponent's hand seemed to be a little wrong, and he couldn't hold the silver note at all. The banknote was pulled over.

"We'll talk about the antidote later, I have something to ask you now!"

The man's face was not very good-looking, and there was a dim light flashing in his eyes, but because the money had been taken away by Yan Maodong, he couldn't turn his face at this time, so he bowed slightly and looked obedient.

"You say you say it!"

"You tell me everything about Yan Qingzhu. As long as you know it, tell me everything."

The man sniffed, somewhat unaware of the current situation, but hesitantly, he opened his mouth and said.

"The big car shop where the little one lives now is the place where I saw Young Bamboo... Yan Qingzhu, why don't you come and sit there with me, let's talk while walking..."

He followed his good manners and found that Yan Maodong's attitude towards Yan Qingzhu was a little subtle, and changed his words subconsciously.

Yan Maodong didn't plan to go with him at first, after all, he didn't bring many people with him, but when he heard that it was the place where Yan Qingzhu once lived, he immediately changed his mind.

"Come, lead the way!"
