Chapter 468 Missing

Looking at the tall courtyard wall and his small body, Wen Shu sighed helplessly.

She tried knocking on the back door, but got no response.

"Forget it, let's go have breakfast first." She muttered, but when she turned around, she heard the door behind her open with a creak.

"Aning."

"Dad, why are you here?" Wen Shu jumped into the door and looked around, "Did Liu Zhang and the others not notice?"

"They were taken away last night!"

what? !

Father Wen told us everything that happened last night.

It turned out that after Wen Shu left last night, the two horse thieves did not succeed and were successfully restrained by Liu Zhang and others.

But at this moment, a group of government officials came in and said that there was a report and a private fight. Then the two horse thieves identified Liu Zhang and others as horse thieves who had stolen the government's horses. Finally, they fought with Lightning and Little Lightning. , and two horse thieves were taken away together.

Wen Shu frowned and suddenly remembered what happened yesterday.

Yesterday they had a conflict over horses, and in the evening Liu Zhang and others were charged with stealing horses.

What a coincidence! What a coincidence!

"I'm afraid it's not that simple," she said.

Father Wen knew what she meant, but asked, "What are your plans now?"

Intend?

"What dad means?" Wen Shu looked up at her dad:

"Although they are here to protect us, I see that you have been restricted in every aspect along the way, especially that place. It is a huge secret and must not be let anyone know." As he spoke, Father Wen's voice gradually became softer. , "At this time, they were called away by the government for questioning. If we take the opportunity to leave now, they will not be able to catch up for a while."

Wen Shu lowered his head and thought, and had to say that this was indeed a good time to get rid of them.

But it felt less moral to leave them behind like this, and Lightning and Little Lightning were even dragged away by them.

Besides, Liu Zhang and the others have the badge of the imperial army. Yesterday, the young master obviously sold his face. It makes no sense that those yamen should not sell their face.

No matter how you look at this, it’s so strange.

"Let's do some research first. I also brought those two horses back from the mountains. There must be a beginning and an end."

Hearing this, Father Wen didn't try to persuade him. He just said, "Then I'll go with you."

Wen Shu nodded.

After having breakfast at a nearby breakfast stall, the father and daughter went straight to the government office.

It was calm in front of the government office, and the gatekeeper was yawning. Wen Shu found a stall not far away and sat down, then started a remote scan to scan the situation inside the government office.

After a moment, she shook her head at Father Wen, "No one is inside."

"Where did that go?!" Father Wen was also surprised. The person arrested by the Yamen Chai was not in the Fu Yamen, so where should he be?

"Do you know where Mr. Han lives?" Wen Shu asked the stall owner.

Fortunately, after returning to the inn yesterday, Liu Zhang had told her the identity of the young master, otherwise she wouldn't have known how to ask.

That young master is really "famous" in Haozhou City. The stall owner knew who he was as soon as he heard it, and he just mentioned several places at once.

"I heard that these are the residences of the Third Young Master. I don't know if they are true or not." The stall owner sighed while kneading the dough: "It's so rich that you'll die rich, and you'll die poor if you're poor. They have so many houses that they can't live in them all. , but we can only guard this small stall every day."

Wen Shu smiled, thanked the stall owner, and planned to explore these places with her father.

It's just that the places the stall owner just mentioned are located in the four directions of Haozhou City. The distances in between are very far. It's impossible to go back and forth in one day.

Secretly scolding Mr. Han, Wen Shu thought about which of these places had the highest possibility of hiding people.

Since they chose to take the person away at night, it must be because they wanted to avoid people's attention. It would be impossible to take the person through the city in a showy way, so the most likely option was to take the person away from the inn.

But among the several houses provided by the stall owner, the nearest one is several miles away.

Could it be that they are not in those houses at all?

But if you go through each house in a row, it will cost too many points.

Forget it, go to the nearest house first and check it out. If it's not there, then go back and go to each house one by one.

After asking a few passers-by along the way, Wen Shu successfully found the house. But after scanning, she found that there was no trace of Liu Zhang and others inside.

Not here? Could it be that she made a mistake in judgment?

No, Liu Zhang and the others have special status, and Mr. Han would never dare to take people away in a brazen manner. Besides, when these people came over, no one listened to the people on the street talking about what happened last night.

In other words, except for the people in the inn, the people outside may not know what happened last night.

Either they were traveling in a carriage, or they were very close to the inn.

After some thinking, Wen Shu chose the latter.

Because there were too many people in the former, riding in the carriage was inconvenient, and Lightning and Little Lightning were also taken away together. Without them, the meaning of the carriage would no longer exist.

After thinking about the joints, Wen Shu took Father Wen and hurried back, planning to start near the inn and touch each house.

But after looking back for a long time, I didn't see anything unusual.

During lunch, Wen Shu couldn't help but wonder if she had thought wrong, and they were in several other places.

That's all, that's all, she has a hard life after all, and she can't hide.

After lunch, we discussed it with Father Wen, and the two decided to go to the house in Xicheng first.

There is no other reason, because the other two places are further away.

Just when Wen Shu came out of the backyard of the inn and passed a house next to the alley, he seemed to see a familiar figure.

Lady Mann, why is she here? Are you here to deliver the baby?

No, the house she entered was empty. The furnishings and furnishings were very old, and it looked like it had been idle for a long time.

Could it be that he came to see the house.

"What's wrong?" Seeing her standing still, Father Wen asked.

"It's okay, let's go."

Throughout the afternoon, Wen Shu and the others were either looking for someone or on their way to find someone. However, a few hours later, she began to doubt herself and the system.

She had visited all the houses that the people were talking about, but there were no people or horses.

How come several living people disappeared out of thin air?

Father Wen suggested: "How about forgetting it? It would be easier for us to go back to our hometown by ourselves."

"No, I want to see people alive, and I want to see my body dead."

Wen Shu's curiosity and stubborn temper also arose. If they were just being controlled by someone, but their lives were not in danger, she would definitely listen to her father and run away.

But now, there is obviously something fishy about this matter.

Her intuition told her that she couldn't just let it go!

Father Wen shook his head helplessly, "Okay, then where are you going to look for the next step?"

This one

Wen Shu was silent for a moment, walked quickly into a deserted alley, and then whistled with his fingers on his lips.

After a while, a red figure flashed across the sky.

Father Wen laughed dumbly and understood.

The red shadow fell from the sky, stood on the courtyard wall, and flapped its wings proudly.

Wen Shu raised his head and said jokingly: "You've been angry enough, are you ready to let go?"

Hong Ying scratched his neck and said nothing!

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Liu Zhang and Lightning are gone. Please help me see if they are still in the city. I will wait for you at the inn."

Hearing this, Hongying's stiff neck immediately turned around. It was surprised at first, then became serious, and finally nodded.

Watching its figure disappear into the sky, Wen Shu and Father Wen also returned to the inn.

That night, after dinner, Wen Shu went back to his room and just lay down when he heard a bird chirping outside.

She immediately jumped up from the bed and rushed out!

　I finally saved two chapters, so I need to save some time.

　　I recently had a physical examination. I still have some minor heart problems. Wen Shu gave me some Emperor Tai Shen Shui.
