"What happened?"

"Miss Tao is Tao Yuyu?"

Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan spoke almost at the same time.

"Zhanpei Wujuan and the others have always been in contact with several helpers near the Tao family, and they can be regarded as taking care of the Tao family."

generator He learned the news of Tao's mother's death.

"Tell me, what happened?" Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan said almost at the same time.

Wu Juan said hurriedly: "Don't worry, girl. Sister Zhan has already gone out of the city to find someone. Here's the thing. Guo Er came to see us today. Guo Er is one of the neighbors who helped Tao's family. The school is closed for bathing today, and Miss Tao is also here." After resting, the two siblings went to the Mingshan Temple outside the city to offer incense and pray for the late Mrs. Tao. They went there early in the morning, but they haven’t come back yet. Ms. Tao’s father had already left work and was not there. After seeing the Tao brothers and sisters, I asked some neighbors and learned that they had not come back since they left the city to burn incense in the morning, and now they have also gone outside the city to look for them."

"Will they stay in the temple for the night? Our family used to go to offer incense and would often stay in the temple."

Zhu Yan felt that something was not necessarily wrong.

Geng Xingshuang had the same idea as Tao Rong. She shook her head and said, "Mingshan Temple is not far from Ningdu City. Even if they walk there, they should be able to come back in the afternoon. If they take a ride, it will take half a day to come and go. Besides, The younger brother Tao has to go to class tomorrow, and Master Xiaoyu also has to go to work."

Moreover, if you stay in the temple for one night, you will need to pay more for the sesame oil. The Tao family is not rich, so Geng Xingshuang feels that the possibility of the Tao siblings staying in the temple on their own initiative is very small, unless they encounter some unexpected accident and have to stay in the temple. One night.

Zhu Yan also thought of this, and asked Wu Juan, "Are you going to leave the city soon?"

Wu Juan hesitated and said, "I want to send the girl back home..."

"I will take you girls back to the uncle's house. You and Zhujian go together. I will send two more guards to go out of the city with you. The city gate should not be closed yet, but I'm afraid you won't be able to come back until tomorrow morning."

Zhu Yan said and asked Xiaofeng to order two guards and follow Wu Juan Bamboo Sword out of the city to find the person.

After Zhu Yan arranged all this, she suddenly realized that she seemed a little anxious. Although the person who arranged the arrangements for Geng Xingshuang was a good friend, she still seemed to be overstepping her authority and was a little embarrassed.

"Sister Shuang, hehe, I was a little anxious just now, don't mind!"

Geng Xingshuang shook his head, "Have you already regarded Master Xiaoyu as a member of the Zhenguo Palace?"

Zhu Yan was indeed warm-hearted and generous towards others, but after all, she was a princess from the government, and she had her own pride. However, whenever she encountered something involving Tao Yuyu, she always showed extreme concern.

In fact, since Tao's mother passed away and Geng Xingbing entered Prince Ping's Mansion again, there has been no progress in the affairs of Xiaozao Village.

Zhu Yan said: "I had my suspicions. It was not just your family and the Tao family who made the mistake, but also the second room of our town government mansion. It was the three families who made the mistake. With the Tao family's trouble, I feel more and more that we Your guess is correct."

She sighed, "I actually tested Xiaoyu. She was very scared. It was just an Anping residence that left her without a mother. She was worried that if the Zhen Guogong residence was added, their family would suffer, so she begged I don’t want to check anymore. My parents and elder brothers are busy during this period, and my grandmother... I didn’t dare to tell her, so the matter was delayed. I didn’t expect anything to happen today, but I hope it was just a false alarm. ."

No matter what happened to the Tao siblings, whether Zhan Pei Wujuan and the others can find anyone can only be known tomorrow morning when the city gate opens.

Under the escort of Zhu Yan, Geng Xingshuang returned to the uncle's house.

Early the next morning, Zhu Yan rushed to the uncle's house. As soon as he saw Geng Xingshuang, he asked, "Have Wu Juan and the others come back?"

Geng Xingshuang shook his head, "There is no news yet."

"Will they go directly to Mingshang Pavilion? How about we go to Mingshang Pavilion now?"

As soon as Zhu Yan finished speaking, a servant came to announce that Wu Juan was here.

"Let her in quickly!" Wu Juan came quickly, but she was the only one.

"Girl, congratulations girl!"

Wu Juan was covered in travel dust, and the morning dew still condensed on her hair, like a layer of crystal white frost.

"Why are you the only one? Didn't find Xiaoyu? Or... something happened?"

Zhu Yan asked hurriedly.

"Found it. Miss Tao is injured. She is now in Yannian Hall. Miss Xu is treating her. Do you and Miss Zhu want to go and have a look?"

"Of course it is!"

Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan spoke at the same time.

"Let's go now, we said on the way." Geng Xingshuang asked Hua Lian to go back and report to Ruan, and he took Jinbao and Wu Juan in Zhu Yan's carriage and rushed to Chaoxing Street.

On the way, Wu Juan told Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan exactly what happened last night.

"Sister Zhan left a mark for us along the road. We followed the mark all the way. We also paid attention to whether there was any trace of Miss Tao on the road, but we never found anything unusual. We followed the mark to the peach blossom forest at the foot of Mingshan Temple Mountain. Sister Zhan The sisters and Miss Tao were all there, and besides them, they also met Mr. Jiang, who saved Miss Tao."

"Master Jiang? Which Master Jiang?" Zhu Yan asked, already mentally searching for the ministers named Jiang in the court.

"That's Miss Jiang's brother, Mr. Jiang." Wu Juan said.

Geng Xingshuang reacted, "You mean Jiang Lianbu?"

"Yes, it was him. In fact, Miss Tao and her brother left after having lunch in the temple. But after going down the mountain, two men came out of the peach grove on the roadside and took them deep into the peach grove. The cloth was gagged and tied to a peach tree, while the two villains sat under the tree and watched while drinking. When it was getting dark, they wanted to do such unethical things to Miss Tao, but they were probably drunk. As a result, her hands and feet were not very flexible. During the struggle, Miss Tao spit out the cloth stuffed in her mouth and shouted loudly. At that time, Master Jiang was passing by with his colleagues to arrest fugitives, so he entered the peach forest and rescued Miss Tao. It was really a coincidence. Very, otherwise Miss Tao would..."

Wu Juan said, looking very lucky.

"Isn't Mr. Jiang a city gate guard? Are you going to arrest fugitives?"

Geng Xingshuang was a little confused.

"Perhaps he was transferred to a government office or county government office."

Zhu Yan guessed.

Geng Xingshuang nodded and no longer struggled with this issue, "How are Miss Tao and her brother doing now? Where did you stay last night?"

"Both Miss Tao and Brother Tao had only superficial injuries. They were tied up all afternoon yesterday and then experienced that incident again. They were frightened. Both siblings had a fever this morning. We stayed nearby last night. A farmer's family went to the city early this morning to look for Miss Xu."

Along the way, Zhu Yan and Geng Xingshuang almost understood clearly what happened to the Tao siblings yesterday.

"Where are those two villains?" Geng Xingshuang asked.

"He was taken to Ningfeng County Yamen by Lord Jiang's colleagues."

Geng Xingshuang nodded, "That's good. I'll pay attention to the situation at the county government in the future." (End of Chapter)
