Wu Sheng starts from strengthening

Chapter 160 Strange Knowledge
Xiaozhou County is a small county seat. It is backed by the Wuyi Mountains, faces the Jiangnan states, and faces the Minda Lake in the east. It is extremely rich in both mountain products and aquatic resources.

The superior geographical environment has given birth to many gentry and local tyrants. Once a person has money, he will have a greater desire to become a nobleman and control power. Therefore, the status of scholars is also higher, so that no matter whether they are civilians or rich children in the county, I am very happy to study and become an official.

Spring is here, as the saying goes, "peach blossoms and flowing water with mandarin fish are fat". To the east of Xiaozhou County is the largest lake in Jiangnan Province, which can be ranked among the top five.

In addition, it was time for farming again, so all the major landlords in Xiaozhou County were busy commanding their servants, salvaging lake fresh food, and cultivating farmland. There was a busy scene everywhere.

The king's family in the east of the city is an exception.

Wang Yuanwai is over [-] years old this year. In this era of short life expectancy, he has half a foot into the coffin.

At this moment, Wang Yuanwai was sitting in his living room with a sad face, holding a teacup and sighing.

There is no other reason, my precious son disappeared seven days ago for no reason.

If Wang Yuanwai had a son until he was 40 years old, he devoted all his efforts to the only child of the Wang family.

Under the deep expectations of Wang Yuanwai's hope that his son would become a dragon, his son did not live up to his high expectations. He was admitted as a scholar at the age of sixteen, which can be said to have a bright future.

But the good times didn't last long. Half a year after his son was admitted as a scholar, that is, almost a month ago, the boy suddenly found him and said that he didn't want to take the exam anymore.

This made Wang Yuanwai very anxious. He was always full of family and country feelings, and his son, who was aiming at the court, suddenly had a wrong brain and wanted to run into the mountains to drink dew and eat grass roots?
Under his earnest persuasion day by day, instead of understanding, his son sneaked out of the house. Now he has been missing for seven days without any news.

"Tell me, what's going on here!"

The more Wang Yuanwai thought about it, the more angry he was, he slammed the teacup on the table with a bang, and the fat on his face trembled three times.

The butler at the side touched the beads of sweat on his face, and suggested: "Master, why don't we look for Mr. Gao of the county office again, and ask him to help us find the young master."

"Hey, that's the only way to go. Go find someone and tell them to put up notices in the county, saying that if you find the young master, I will reward you a lot!"

"Yes! Sir!"

……

A day later, Pan Ye and Zu Wei were walking on the bustling streets of Xiaozhou County. Tangyuan stood on the basket behind Pan Ye, with two little paws on Pan Ye's shoulders, watching curiously. Sellers of aquatic products.

Master Mingxu and Ling Shu also returned to their sect when Pan Ye and the others set off.

Zu Wei stayed behind, saying that he wanted to go to Yunshan Sect with Pan Ye to see the world.

Yuze came and went without a trace all day long, and only when he was resting at night would he suddenly appear to guide Pan Ye in his practice.

In addition, for Pan Ye, he was in a state of stocking the whole time.

On the way, Pan Ye checked the route, and found that South Henan Road was thousands of miles away from Rongzhou, including dozens of states.

Their trip will go through Jiangnan Road, Huainan Road, Huaibei Road, and then to Henan Road.

Pan Ye went all the way to the north, crossed the Wuyi Mountains in front of Rongzhou, and came to the real Jiangnan water town.

It is now the eighth day since departure.

The reason why he was so slow was that Yu Ze asked him to take one step at a time, travel at the speed of a normal person, and take a good look at the plants, trees, mountains and rivers on the way, saying that it would be of great use for him to comprehend the state of mind in the future.

Xiaozhou County is the first stop after leaving the Wuyi Mountains.

"Don't tell me, Aye, this small town in Xiaozhou County is as prosperous as the busiest market in Rongzhou."

"It's true, and I see that most of the people on the street wear expensive fabrics. It can be seen that the people here live a good life and have no worries about food and clothing."

The two of them took a step and looked at the scene of the market with a relaxed expression.

"Hey, what's going on over there, let's go and have a look?"

Zu Wei is a person who likes to join in the fun, seeing a group of people gathered in front of a bulletin board, his curiosity arose in his heart, and he made a suggestion.

"Could it be another notice similar to offering a bounty to Ou Lan the monster?"

Curiosity also arose in Pan Ye's heart, and the two of them immediately squeezed away from the onlookers one by one, and came to the front of the notice board, only to see the notice board read:

"Search notices.

Name: Wang Fugui.

Age: Seventeen.

Appearance: Before disappearing, he was wearing a white robe, with a small mole on the corner of his mouth, beardless, and [-] feet [-] inches tall.

portrait:……

If anyone knows his whereabouts, please contact Chengdong Wang Dongxi in time, thank you very much.

"

It turned out to be just an ordinary missing person notice...

Pan Ye took a look and lost interest.

He wasn't interested, and the onlookers who were watching the fun started chatting.

"Wang Yuanwai is a well-known gentry in Xiaozhou County. He is always willing to do good things. If he finds Mr. Wang, he will be rewarded handsomely with Wang Yuanwai's wealth. Are you interested?"

"Why did Mr. Wang disappear without a trace? On weekdays, isn't he going anywhere between the academy and the palace?"

"Do you think it was bandits who did it?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Bandits do it so quietly and don't ask Wang Yuanwai for money?"

Zu Wei listened to the conversations of the people around with great interest, and said: "It seems that Wang Yuanwai and Wang Gongzi are quite famous in the county."

"Why? Brother Zu is also interested? Or did you see something?"

"...Do you really think I am an all-knowing god? Isn't this just an ordinary missing person notice? Maybe this prince is fascinated by reading somewhere, and has forgotten the time?"

An old man next to him heard what the two were talking about, and interrupted:

"How could it be? After being fascinated by reading, you can feel hungry for a day or two at most. I heard from the servants of the Wang family's mansion that Wang Gongzi has been missing for eight days without any news."

"eight days?!"

The two looked at each other, and both read the surprise in the other's eyes.

"Could it be that there are some demons making trouble?"

Zu Wei frowned.

The old man continued: "There are no demons, there have been no incidents of demons in our Xiaozhou County for 30 years."

"Besides, everyone in the county knows that Mr. Wang is notorious for not going out. Xiaozhou County is surrounded by fertile fields, and there are guards all day long. Therefore, Mr. Wang's inexplicable disappearance is quite strange."

"Interesting, Aye, should we get involved?"

The old man's words greatly touched Zu Wei's curiosity.

Pan Ye knew this old man's temperament, just like the last time he watched a trick show in Lianyuan County, he had to join in the fun with all kinds of strange things he saw and heard.

He shrugged: "Anyway, Master Yu said that we can arrange whatever happens freely, and I have no objection."
