Pretending to be jealous in the arms of Dali Temple

Chapter 83 You Are Too Fierce

Facing Wan Yan's accusation, Su Jizhi turned around.

It was completely different from the time when they were frolicking just now, the adults now had a cold face, the corners of their mouths were tightly pursed, and even their voices were raised a bit.

He actually asked her sharply, "Say one more thing, why don't I do anything?"

Wan Yan trembled with fright, her fingertips trembled slightly, and the lord got angry.

But Wan Yan still wanted to say that if the adults let the couple go like this, they would be hopeless.

Wan Yan has never had conflicts with anyone since she was a child.

Even if she was framed by her younger sister and her father was betrayed after being imprisoned, she gritted her teeth and endured it silently, never venting her emotions to another person.

Today, for some reason, she felt sorry for the couple, as if she saw her father's eyes looking at her with guilt after he was imprisoned.

She just felt that the lord's reply was perfunctory, "My... my lord, if you can't help them, they really have no hope."

Wan Yan was terrified and slapped her mouth, but still said what was in her heart.

"They come to Tongshan Mansion because they have nowhere to ask for help. If they go out like this, they will live in suffering day and night. Even if your lord does one thing, they will not be hopeless..."

Wan Yan plucked up the courage to tell all the thoughts in her heart.

"A missing person who has not been implemented, what do you ask this officer to do?"

Look, the lord is so angry that he even calls her an official.

Wan Yan's teeth chattered, and she still said: "Shang Wenli came to Tongshan Mansion to work, even if she was alone, she would contact Ren Yazi. We can visit a few more houses and ask if anyone has seen her."

"What if not?"

"Ask the city guards or post notices everywhere to see if there are any clues."

"And if not?"

"Then..." Wan Yan lost her mind, shouldn't the adults find a way to ask her, "Then ask Shang Wenli's little sister if there is any news about her."

The lord snorted coldly, Wan Yan had changed from fear to anger, why did the lord make such a disdainful sneer?
"To put it simply, there are hundreds of people in Tongshan Mansion, big and small. Even if all the twelve servants of Tongshan Mansion are mobilized, it will take three days to complete the visit, not to mention that Shang Wenli came to Tongshan Mansion a month ago. Even if she came to Tongshan Mansion five days ago, what do you think is the chance that someone will remember her?"

The adult was very angry, even looking at Wan Yan from time to time, the star in his eyes disappeared.

"Okay, next, there is no news after five days of visits. The yamen servants need to post notices everywhere. Let's just talk about Tongshan Street. If you walk down a dozen street corners, two people will spend a whole day on weekdays. How long do you think it will take to post notices?"

Wan Yan fell silent, her sympathy for the husband and wife turned into helplessness.

"The last one, after all this is done, there is still no news from Shang Wenli. I need to dispatch two teams to go to Bao'an Mansion and Fengyuan Mansion respectively. Bao'an Mansion is still close, and Fengyuan Mansion will take three days to go back and forth. Tell me, if these After all the work, there is still no news from Shang Wenli, what should we do?"

Then you can't do nothing, just send people away like this.

Unwilling to be reconciled, Wan Yan lowered her head and did not meet the adult's eyes.

The lord is too fierce, he is completely different from the lord who has been taking care of her.

"This is when all the yamen servants have put down their work and are out in full force. So the Tongshan government office will not do anything else? Let go of all other things? Everyone is sleepless? Half a month has passed, if Shang Wenli suddenly has news What about it? She didn’t go any farther, how many days late did the news arrive?”

Miao Hong sent the two couples away, and saw this tense scene as soon as he entered the government office.

Is this also a little fun in love?

After Su Jizhi said so much, his tone has softened, and he is not as angry as when Wan Yan questioned his inaction just now.

"Now tell me, if you were the Governor of Tongshan, what would you do?"

Wan Yan raised his head.

She understood the adult's situation and mood, and also understood his helplessness in the face of this situation.

But she still sticks to her ideas.

What adults can do is to give people hope, and hope, in all moods, is the only belief that can keep people alive.

"If it were me, my lord, I would simply ask about Qing Shang Wenli's appearance, and post the portraits on the most prosperous Tongshan Street and both sides of the city gate. It is enough for a yamen servant on duty today to do this. After finishing this task in half an hour, what if someone sees Miss Shang? All we have to do is to look forward to this event!"

After speaking, the little girl met the adult's eyes, shining with youth, not discouraged, not timid.

The big man laughed.

Miao Hong stared at the two people in bewilderment. Just now Su Jizhi seemed to be eating people, but now he actually laughed.

Su Jizhi looked at Miao Hong and said, "Take Wan Yan to meet the couple. According to her suggestion, the portrait will be painted and posted on both sides of Tongshan Street and the city gate."

Then he looked at Wan Yan, "Are you satisfied now?"

Wan Yan smiled, and leaned down slightly, "Thank you, my lord."

She can help the old couple, at least give them hope before Shang Wenli appears, Wan Yan thinks this is the most meaningful thing she has done after leaving Jiaofang Division.

Even if it conflicted with adults just now, it was worth it.

Miao Hong took the order and signaled Wan Yan to leave, "Fortunately, I just asked, that old couple lives in Penglai Inn."

Wan Yan was happy, and the moment she passed by the adults, the adults suddenly grabbed her sleeves.

Looking back, a cunning flashed in the adults' eyes.

"Are you still angry?" The adult's tone was soft, but it was completely different from before.

"Well, I'm very angry, and I still can't coax that well."

Thinking that the adults seemed to eat her just now, what flashed in Wan Yan's heart was not anger but fear.

The adult is angry, and the aura is so strong that it makes people tremble.

Softening his tone, it made people's hearts beat like red clouds.

"I'll try to end here as soon as possible. I'll go to the Painting and Calligraphy Studio to find you before noon."

"Hmph!" It was Wan Yan's turn to snort coldly, she didn't want to forgive him.

Wan Yan flicked her sleeves and escaped from Su Jizhi's control. When she turned around, the corners of her mouth curved into a crescent.

As soon as he walked out of the government office, he rode a fast horse and stopped in front of the door.

The postman got off his horse and cupped his fists at Su Jizhi: "Master Su, this is a letter from Lord Yin Wang of Lingjiang Mansion."

The post soldier, all dressed in dust, handed the letter in his sleeve to Su Jizhi.

Su Jizhi opened it a few times, and lowered his face, "I already know, please reply to Mr. Wang. I will fully cooperate with Mr. Wang. We will communicate with you at any time if there is anything."

The post soldiers took the order and left.

Miao Hong and Wan Yan looked at Su Jizhi.

Su Jizhi handed the letter to Miao Hong and explained to Wan Yan, "The letter said that a girl from Lingjiang Mansion disappeared. When she left home, she told her family that she came to Tongshan Mansion to find a job. Now she has not contacted her family for more than ten days. gone."

The situation was actually the same as Shang Wenli.

This coincidence made Su Jizhi also cautious.

"So now let's start with this girl. It would be even better if there are clues to Shang Wenli."

"My lord, what are we going to do?" Wan Yan had no other intention, but simply wanted to ask the lord for his search ideas.

From Su Jizhi's ears, the little girl was alluding to what he just said.

Resisting the urge to pinch Wanyan's little nose, Su Jizhi said: "Start tracking from the day Lu Mingyu entered Tongshan Mansion, and you can always find clues."

Lu Mingyu?
Wan Yan was stunned on the spot when she heard the name, she had seen her before!
