Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 830 Worry and Anxiety

I don't know if it was because he was too tired or because he was drugged, Qi Muyuan slept very deeply this time, and he didn't sit up until the sun came out the next day with his eyes blurred.

Ever since he practiced martial arts at the age of six, he always got up at the beginning of his life, before dawn.It was the first time that he slept until the sun was up like this.

Guanqi heard the movement, walked in with water, and said: "The old man said that he will explain to the emperor that the young master does not need to rush to do things. In addition, Young Master Guan, Young Master Fang, Young Master Liang, and Young Master Lu are here. The hall has been waiting for a long time."

From the day Du Jinning disappeared, Guan Jiaze, Fang Shaohua, Liang Xiankuan, and Lu Xiaobei sent all the servants in the family to look for him, and they did a lot of work.Xu Chengyuan works in other places, but not far from the capital.He couldn't leave his post without permission, so he asked Du Fangfei to bring his servants over and join the search team.

Of course, the Imperial Army and Qi Muyuan's subordinates searched in the capital, and they mainly searched the towns near the capital.

Even though they thought it was impossible for Du Jinning to be kidnapped to Runzhou, they still sent someone to tell Guan Jiatian about the situation and asked him to search carefully in Runzhou as well.Yao Shuqi and others also frantically searched around Runzhou and its surrounding areas.

Today is a public holiday, everyone is free, and knowing that Qi Muyuan had finally returned home, so he came to Qi's house early in the morning to find out if he had any new discoveries.

After Qi Muyuan washed up, he didn't bother to eat breakfast, and went to the hall to communicate with a few people about the situation.

Naturally nothing.

Several friends have also been unable to eat or sleep these days.

Guan Jiaze said anxiously: "Who will be captured? Who has such a big grudge against Du Jinning?"

"At that time, several aristocratic families planned to attack Du Jinning." Liang Xiankuan reminded.

"They attacked Du Jinning because they wanted to recruit him as their son-in-law, not because they wanted to kill him. It's really strange that they disappeared strangely now." Fang Shaohua frowned.

Qi Muyuan sat aside, eating breakfast in silence, without speaking.

If he had time today, Qi Muyuan could have cleaned himself up and shaved off his beard.But in order to confuse Zhao Wei, he still kept his beard, and just came over after simply washing up.

When everyone came, Guan Qi and the others also explained why Qi Muyuan hadn't woken up so late.

At this time, after asking everyone to eat breakfast, he brought breakfast and ginseng soup to Qi Muyuan, and emphasized again and again: "The old master told the villain to watch the young master drink the ginseng soup and eat breakfast."

So everyone didn't have any idea about Qi Muyuan eating breakfast in front of everyone; instead, he had lost a lot of weight, his beard was unshaven, and even after sleeping, his eyes were still bloodshot. It was silent, and everyone felt distressed and guilty.

As a friend, it's natural to feel distressed seeing him like this; but thinking that as a friend, Qi Muyuan can search for Du Jinning day and night like this, and make himself like this. Generally speaking, he was still far from Qi Muyuan, so he felt very ashamed.

Lu Xiaobei, who has been asking friends to look for Du Jinning around like crazy, and running around by himself, looks similar to Qi Muyuan, but he doesn't feel like Fang Shaohua and the others.

"Mu Yuan, if there is anything we can use, just ask." Fang Shaohua said, "Although we also sent people to search around, it's not for this business. It's okay to let them run errands, but it's hard to find people." They are like headless chickens, with no rules. You can use them here, just use them."

They would like to find it by themselves, but as officials, except for public holidays, they can't help themselves at ordinary times.Of course, they also took time to look for it after the office was released every day, but nothing was gained.

I always felt that looking around in the city was not an option, and today I learned that Qi Muyuan had returned home, so they all came to the door and asked if there was any way to find Du Jinning as soon as possible.

Maybe it was his grandfather's analysis last night that really comforted Qi Muyuan, or maybe his nerves relaxed a little after a good night's sleep last night. Compared with the tense whole body in the previous three days, Qi Muyuan's condition is much better.

He swallowed the steamed stuffed bun, took a sip of tea, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said that they had searched several districts like a carpet, and finally said: "Due to insufficient manpower, the whole city cannot be searched at the same time." , can only do this step by step. Now there is still no search in the south of the city. It is very messy there. If you have nothing to do, send people to search there, maybe you can find clues. After you find out, don’t report to the government , send someone to tell me first, so as not to startle the snake."

He was worried that these people really discovered Du Jinning, and they reported Du Jinning's whereabouts to the government, disrupting Du Jinning's layout.

And tell him that when he is sure that Du Jinning is not in danger, he will meet with her, and after learning about her deployment, he will seal the mouths of these people, so as to ensure that Du Jinning's plan can be implemented smoothly.

Everyone agrees.

Seeing that Qi Muyuan had breakfast and was going to Dali Temple, everyone went out together.After separating from Qi Muyuan, Guan Jiaze and the others did not go home, but sent someone back to bring the family servants over, while he went to the south of the city first, in an attempt to make new discoveries.

This place in the south of the city has been checked by Lu Xiaobei himself in the past few days, but nothing has been found.He didn't want to go now, so he said goodbye to everyone, and took his servants out of the city to search for another city.

He no longer cared about his own business, and he didn't have to go to the government office like Guan Jiaze did.He planned to search in that city for a few days, and if he couldn't find it, he would go to the next destination. He would not stop searching until news of Du Jinning came.

……

In the house that Xu Chengyuan bought before, the three sisters Du Fangfei, Du Fangling and Du Fanghui were sitting in the hall, each with haggard faces.

Before Du Jinning disappeared, he specially came to meet them. They naturally knew that Du Jinning was missing, and it was very likely that Du Jinning set up the situation himself.But knowing that both the Zhang family and the Zhao family were involved, the three sisters raised their hearts, fearing that Du Jinning's plan would go wrong and be taken captive by the aristocratic family.

The little sister is missing, and the mother is nowhere to be found. Even though the three sisters know it well, they still live like years.Every day when her husband comes back, they are worried that he will bring back bad news.

In order to prevent the walls from having ears, the three of them don't want to keep talking about some things, so Fang Shaohua and Lu Xiaobei went to find Qi Muyuan early in the morning, and Du Fangling and Du Fanghui went to the eldest sister's house, but they were silent relative to each other.

"It should be fine." Du Fangling broke the silence, "It is said that relatives are connected with each other. If something happens to Jin Ning, the three sisters will feel it. Since there is no bad feeling, it means that she is safe now. Don't worry too much, everyone."
