Song Dynasty female artist

Chapter 838 Missing
After pranayama, the sun also rises from the east.

The flowers unfold their buds visibly to the naked eye, greedily absorbing the rare sunlight.

Gu Qingxi had earth-wood spiritual roots, so he was the one who could directly benefit. About half an hour later, Gu Qingxi slowly opened his eyes.

The soreness in the body was relieved, and the spiritual power in the Dantian began to gather.

"It's rare that this place is not polluted by the miasma. Now we can recuperate here for a few days. We will leave after the injuries are healed."

The couple is familiar with each other here and knows how to get out.

But it would be dangerous for Gu Qingxi and Chu Mo to go out, so to be on the safe side, they had to recover first.

"It would be great if I could return to the previous spiritual pool."

Although this place has not been contaminated by demonic energy, the spiritual power is extremely scarce and will be exhausted soon. It is too slow for them to recover.

Chu Mo: "I remember the approximate location, but I can't guarantee that I can find it."

They were unprepared when they first broke into the island, so they didn't take note of the route they took.

After leaving Lingtan, they carefully wrote down the route just in case they had to turn back, but they couldn't say they would definitely find it.

Gao Ge: "The island is very big. When we came here to practice, we couldn't go out for several months. If we remember the way, we should go back first, use the Lingtan Lake to recover as soon as possible, and then try another way."

"Alright."

Chu Mo led the way, and they actually found the Lingtan. Li Zhengzhen protected them, and the others all sat cross-legged, absorbing the spiritual power of the Lingtan as quickly as possible.

On Zhao Rui's side, the group had already reached Echeng. Echeng was also called Baise, but few people said this name. Most people still called it Echeng. When Dali united with former Jiannan Jiedushi Zhao Zongyuan to rebel, , once approached Goose City.

However, this crisis was resolved by the joint efforts of Gu Qingjue and Nong Zhigao.

Two years ago, Dali was included in the territory of the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Rui wanted to visit Dali. Everyone came to Goose City, which was very close and only took half a day.

"Heng'er and the others have followed Master Duan to Dali for a few months, but I don't know if they have gone back."

Gu Qingjue: "I sent the message seven days ago, and they are still in Dali."

Su Yixin asked: "They have been staying there for so long. Is Dali really such a fun and interesting place?"

In my previous life, it was a tourist attraction.

The problem is that this was more than a thousand years ago. Dali is not only a wilderness, but also has dangerous mountain roads.

To be honest, those mountains and waters can be found everywhere in this era. There is no need to go to Dali. So they encountered something interesting and stayed there for so long.

"The last time they communicated, they were in Shanju County."

Su Yixin has the impression that Ninglang in later generations was not very far from Lijiang. However, it was not called Lijiang Ancient City at this time, but Dayan Ancient City. Because of this beautiful river, many famous people came here to visit. During the Song Dynasty, The official currently in Dali is called Yin Zhongqian, who is over forty years old. He reported to the court at the beginning of the year that he wanted to develop Lijiang.

Development requires funds, and the government is really not rich. I hope the court can allocate funds to support it.

Zhao Rui remembered that his reply was in agreement.

It's been almost a year, and I don't know if construction has started yet.

This time he did not write a letter, but sent a message directly to Su Qiao, who was protecting Duan Fuzi and the others.

I learned that I was still playing near Dayan Ancient City.

"Master, let's go there first and take a look at our little junior brother."

Gu Qingjue: "You don't have to go there deliberately. I remember that Wu Langjun's wallet was stolen when he went out for fun yesterday."

"There's only one ingot or ten taels of silver in it, so it doesn't matter."

"Although no valuables were lost, the thieves were so rampant and stole on the street, which shows the security here. If Mr. Lang lets it go, more people will suffer."

Among the group of them, only Zhao Rui's wallet was missing. Such a coincidence?
I'm afraid that thief still knows some martial arts. He saw that Zhao Rui had no martial arts skills, so he specifically looked for him to attack.

After being reminded, Zhao Rui also understood.

Not caring is indulgence.

To him, ten taels of silver was nothing, but if the person who was stolen was a poor family, perhaps even ten cents would be unacceptable to them.

Although it is a small matter, what needs to be done still needs to be done.

Zhao Rui went to the county government in person to report that ten taels of silver had been stolen from him on the street.

"Ten taels of silver were stolen. Why are you reporting the crime now?"

"It was stolen yesterday and it's here today. Am I late?"

The yamen servant frowned: "It was stolen at that time, so I should have come. Now that it has been so long, how can I still find the person?"

Zhao Rui: "You didn't even look for it, so you just said you couldn't find it?"

Another yamen servant looked at Zhao Rui up and down, then at the followers following him, and said, "Lang Jun, are you from out of town?"

"Why, does that thief specialize in stealing from outsiders?"

"That's not true."

The yamen servant had a good attitude and even smiled apologetically: "Even the locals know that thieves are rampant. You must protect your money bag when you go out. If it is stolen, you must report it to the county yamen in time. This will help us arrest it."

"Thieves are rampant, why don't the officials catch them?"

The officer spread his hands helplessly: "We want to catch him too, but we can't!"

At this moment, a young couple stumbled over, took the government servant's hand, and cried: "Master Chao, Master Chao, help me find my child, my child is missing."

"Let's go, take us there quickly. Maybe we can find some clues where the child was lost."

The two government officials just left.

But Zhao Rui was not angry, but pleased.

The rampant banditry seems not to be due to the government's inaction, but to another reason.

Zhao Rui winked at Fang Mengfu, and Fang Mengfu followed immediately.

The couple took the yamen servant and walked to the busy street and stopped in front of a gouache shop: "This is where the police officer is, and the child was lost here."

On the way, the police officer already asked about the child's gender, height, and what kind of clothes he was wearing.

A tall and slender government official shouted to the crowd: "Everyone, stay where you are and don't move."

But the police officer's voice did not make the pedestrians stop. They just looked at it and then did whatever they had to do.

The guard knew it would be like this, but he still felt sad every time he encountered it.

It's not that they don't want to run their errands well.

If the people really don’t cooperate, what can they do?

"The common people don't listen to the command of the government officials?"

Fang Mengfu nodded: "Yes, it's like being invisible. With so many people and only two government officials, they really can't do anything."

Zhao Rui: "What are you talking about? No matter how many there are, the government officials represent the government and the court. There are still children missing. How can they not cooperate with the government to find the children."

Fang Mengfu shook his head.

He just reported what he saw to His Majesty. As for the reason, he really didn’t know.
