Commander's Destiny

Chapter 57
On the way to Li's Mansion, Bai Wuyan would pass by the notice board in front of the government office. Usually, this place is crowded, but today he was crowded by people who came to see the excitement.

After inquiring, Bai Wuyan found out that the yamen had issued a reward order for suspicious cases today, offering a huge reward to anyone who can provide information to solve the case.

The specific content of the reward order said that in recent days, Jiangyang thieves, flower pickers, were suspected to have appeared in Jiujiang City, and they were very rampant. Several families reported to the police one after another, saying that their young daughter had suddenly disappeared.

Hearing this, Bai Wuyan hurried to Li's house, fearing that Miss Zhai Lingxiu would be kidnapped by the gangsters if she was late.

However, when he came to the gate of Li's residence, he realized that something might have happened to Li's family.

The butler of the Li Mansion still had an impression of Bai Wuyan. When he saw that the river god was angry after the sacrifice, he could still come back alive. Wuyan invites you into the mansion, where you sit down and serve tea, very attentive.

After the housekeeper complimented him, Bai Wuyan became a little annoyed. With a few words, he expressed his doubts: "Where's your eldest lady? Where's Miss Lingxiu? Why does it feel weird in your house? Didn't something happen?"

"Master Bai really has good eyesight, this insight is very sharp..."

Although the housekeeper might be anxious in his heart, he still dragged his words. Bai Wuyan couldn't stand it any longer, so he interrupted him directly: "Stop talking, it's useless, what's the matter, why don't you hurry up?" Straight up?"

"It's lost, my eldest lady is lost, and the daughter of the Zhai family is also lost, all of them are lost!" The butler probably held back these words for a long time in his heart. Maybe he had accumulated too much pressure due to panic and fear before, and he couldn't find them. To share with others, this time I said it, and I burst into tears.

"Lost it? Did it get lost? Did it disappear suddenly? Was it lost together or one by one?" Bai Wuyan became impatient when he heard that Let's take it away, if it's true, then this may be more ominous.

As soon as the repressed emotions were released, the housekeeper quickly wiped his face with the lapel of his gown, calmed down for a while, and said slowly: "Mr. Bai, that's what happened. The Zhai family The girl came to my family's eldest lady to borrow the ancestral dagger, but she came back later that day, reporting that the matter has been settled by you."

"Well, I know all this, and then?" Bai Wuyan was afraid that he would be long-winded again, so he hurriedly asked.

The steward of Li's family continued to explain: "Then my eldest lady was very happy, and felt that it was thanks to the daughter of the Zhai family that she turned the bad luck into good fortune this time, so she asked me to hold a banquet to entertain her. Jinlan, who call each other sisters, also made an appointment to go to the Yanshui Pavilion on Gantang Lake to play together the next day."

"Isn't this very good, then what happened later?" Bai Wuyan
"Afterwards, everything went as promised. The two nobles accompanied by me and my family members not only visited the entire Gantang Lake, but also went to Luxian Temple to pray for marriage."

"Wait, is this Lu Xian Temple enshrined in Lu Dongbin and Lu Zu?" It turned out that there was still a string in Bai Wuyan's mind, and this string was Lu Dongbin who took away the treasure that sealed Qianfeng's earth soul fragment.

Undoubtedly, the butler of the Li Mansion gave an affirmative answer: "Yes, the Lu Xian Temple is similar to the Lu Zu Temple, and it is Lu Dongbin who is enshrined."

"The Luzu Temple can still ask for marriage? Who is looking for marriage, that girl Zhai Lingxiu?" Bai Wuyan didn't expect to accidentally find some clues about Lu Zu, and asked casually.

"It's not Miss Zhai, it's my eldest lady. Luxian Temple is very effective. We locals can ask for anything, and there are quite a few people who seek marriage. My eldest lady has been in charge of the Li family after the master left, but this is so big. It's really not easy for a woman to manage the family business, so she has been determined to find a husband-in-law. Recently, she met a Mr. Hu, who is willing to come to be her husband if he is a good-looking person, so I reckon that the eldest lady is seeking marriage with this Mr. Hu "The housekeeper of Li's mansion really knew everything about Bai Wuyan, the great savior, and he couldn't stop talking when he opened it. He even told the truth about Miss Li's private affairs.

Seeing Bai Wuyan listening with gusto, the housekeeper of Li's house suddenly realized that he might have gone astray.

"It's far away, it's far away," the housekeeper of Li's mansion said quickly, "Let's talk about how they lost it. It wasn't that they lost it. We went back to the house that night, and we lost it together. The two nobles used it. After the meal, we were supposed to watch the moon and chat together in the gazebo in the garden of the mansion, but when the maid brought them cakes for another look, they suddenly disappeared. At first we thought they had sneaked away through the backyard door, but a I went to the backyard to inquire, but the guard at the gate said that no one came in or out. We searched for the night, and this morning I heard that there was a reward notice for the flower-picking thief at the gate of the government office. I wonder if the eldest lady was really taken away by the thief. Right? Mr. Bai, you have great powers, you want to save my young lady!"

"Okay, I understand. Don't say that Miss Lingxiu lost it with your lady. Even if only your lady lost it, I will help. After all, she borrowed our Li family's ancestral dagger. I I think she's a pretty good person." After hearing the butler's explanation, Bai Wuyan had a plan in mind, "In this way, I'll visit other homes where the missing girls are, and at the same time, don't be idle, go get your missus first. Look again at the houses of relatives and friends you often go to and the various shops you are familiar with, especially the house of Mr. Hu, who has become friends with your lady recently. If you ask any useful information, you can find me at the inn where we met before .”

After everything was arranged properly, Bai Wuyan bid farewell to the housekeeper and left Li's residence.

However, he didn't go to the government office, nor did he look for the family who also lost the young woman, but went straight to the Yanshui Pavilion on Gantang Lake.
