Chapter 54 People are lost

"Show face, show face, show face—"

The door of Chen Dazhong's house was knocked loudly, and Chen Xiuyan recognized Wang Meier's voice, and immediately went to open the door.

Outside the door, Wang Meier's eyes were red and swollen. Wang Meier's husband, Butcher Chen, was also there, and his eyes were also red.

Chen Xiuyan immediately let the two of them in, "Aunt Meier, Uncle Huzi, what happened?"

"Xiuyan, you, you have contacts with the pawnbroker's family, you help auntie." Wang Meier burst into tears again, "Yingying, Yingying is gone."

Wang Meier fell to the ground with her legs limp, crying loudly.

"Why did Yingying disappear?" Chen Dazhong frowned.

"My head took over the job of slaughtering pigs from merchants in the town. Because there are a lot of pigs to be slaughtered, I also planned to help out yesterday. When I saw Yingying, I wanted to go with her. I couldn't resist, so I took her with me." Wang Meier cried.

"But after I finished my work with the head of the house, I waited for a long time at the South City Gate. It was past the appointed time. I didn't see Yingying coming, so I went to find her, but I couldn't find her. The head of the house has been waiting for her." I didn't see anyone coming at the gate of Nancheng, so we split up to look for it later."

"But after searching for several hours, it was almost dark, and we still couldn't find Yingying, so we went to the county government office. The government servants helped us inquire in the county town, but the curfew would soon come. All the shops are closed, and people are not allowed to walk on the street, so we can only leave the county before the curfew."

"I sat outside the city gate with the head of the family all night. I went to the county government office early this morning, but no one helped me. Obviously the government servants said yesterday that they would help us find someone again today, but today they are very busy. He didn't have time to talk to us, he just said that if he found someone, he would notify us, but where can we stay?"

"Xiuyan, my aunt can only look for you, I can only think of you. You have contacts with the pawn family. If you help my aunt talk about it, they may help find Yingying."

"Originally, the head of the family and I planned to go directly to Luojiatang. On the way, I heard that you came to Chenjiacun, so the two of us came directly."

"Let's go to the county seat now." Chen Dazhong went to borrow the donkey cart himself, with a gloomy face, and Mrs. Liu didn't dare to call him from behind.

Butcher Chen hugged his head and squatted on the ground angrily, "It's all because I'm useless, I didn't protect my daughter well, and I made Brother Dazhong think of Xiaozhong."

Chen Xiuyan was confused, "Who is Xiao Zhong?"

"Don't mention it in front of your father." Mrs. Liu dragged Chen Xiuyan and said in a low voice, "It's a wound in your father's heart, so mention it every time."

"It's important to find Yingying now, and I will tell you about the rest later."

"Ming Xin, you stay here with your grandma. If your aunt comes back late, you will stay at your grandma's house. I will explain the situation to your uncle." Chen Xiuyan confessed.

"Well, good." Luo Mingxin nodded.

Chen Dazhong borrowed a donkey cart, and brought back two brothers, Chen Muzhu and Chen Mugui. The three father and son, plus Chen Butcher and his wife, and Chen Xiuyan, a group of six went straight to the county seat.

After entering the city, Chen Xiuyan asked Chen Muzhu to go directly to the royal residence.

When Chen Xiuyan knocked on the door, she sensed something was wrong, almost as soon as she knocked, the door opened, as if someone was waiting behind the door.

"Doctor Chen." The concierge saw Chen Xiuyan stunned for a moment, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and then he controlled his emotions and said stiffly, "Doctor Chen, I'm sorry, I have something at home these few days, and my lord has ordered you not to entertain any guests. Come back in a few days?"

"I'm sorry, it's really difficult for me. One of my younger sisters got lost in the county yesterday."

"I'm lost too!"

Also, Chen Xiuyan narrowed her eyes, "Please let me in, since I have encountered the same thing, it must be related, otherwise there would be no such coincidence."

"Little one, go ahead and report, little one." The porter closed the door annoyed and confused.

Chen Xiuyan walked over to Chen Dazhong and the others, "Father, first go to Renjitang to ask shopkeeper Yan for help, and tell him that it is my request, and he will save face. Then you all go to the shops in the county town to inquire and see Yingying Where have you been?"

"it is good."

As soon as Chen Dazhong and his party left, the gate of the Wang residence opened, and the concierge invited Chen Xiuyan to the front yard. Except Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang and Wang Yajie were all present in the front yard.

"Xiuyan, your sister is also missing?" Mrs. Wang asked with a sob when she saw Chen Xiuyan.

"The daughter of the aunt next door, just like my sister, disappeared in the county seat yesterday, and the family couldn't find it no matter how hard they searched. Last night, they went directly to the county government office. The government officials helped to find the curfew, but they couldn't find anyone." Chen Xiuyan said truthfully.

"My Yayu is gone too." Mrs. Wang's eyes were swollen like walnuts. "Yesterday, Youzheng Liufeng Building held a poetry meeting. Some literary students and ladies in the city attended."

"Although Yayu and Liu Zongbao divorced, our two families didn't want to have an enmity. Liu Qingxiu invited Yayu to go, and Yajie also went with him, so we agreed. Who would have thought that Yayu's child would suddenly disappear? .”

"I heard from the maid who followed that Yayu had a stomachache and went to the clean room, but she waited for a long time and didn't see Yayu come out, so she went in to look for it, but there was no one in the clean room, so the maid was so frightened that she went to find Yayu immediately. Jie, Yajie asked people to search around carefully, and even sent the boy back to the house to report."

"I searched all night last night, but there was no trace at all."

"My lord, Mrs. Wang, I'll go to Liufeng Tower to have a look. I'll help you find Ms. Wang and my sister by the way. They disappeared on the same day. Maybe there is some connection. If you find one, you can find two." Chen Xiuyan Said.

"I'll go with my sister-in-law." Wang Yajie blamed herself, and couldn't stay at home for a moment.

"Mother, madam, I'm going to the yamen." Wang Dianli came back to take a look after hearing that his mother and wife were crying uncontrollably, and he had to go to the county yamen to watch in person.

There were no clues at all in the clean room of Liufeng Building. Looking at the traces on the scene, it was unknown how many people had entered. Chen Xiuyan checked carefully outside the clean room.

The clean room has windows, surrounded by rockery, and there are stones to climb and borrow. Even if you don't go through the door, you can enter and exit freely through the window.

Chen Xiuyan thought about the contents of the book she had read. If the original development had been followed, Wang Yayu would marry Liu Zongbao. At this time, she was waiting to get married at home and was embroidering the wedding dress. If she hadn't retired, Wang Yayu might not have experienced this For a while, Chen Xiuyan didn't know whether the previous advice to the Wang family was right or wrong.

Just as Chen Xiuyan was thinking about something, she took a half step back and squatted down, and found a golden lotus flower earring in the gap on the edge of the rockery.

"This is Yayu's." Wang Yajie said excitedly.

There is a scent of magnolia flowers on the earrings, "Miss Wang smells the scent of magnolia flowers?"
