Chapter 251 Sold
After the marriage recognition banquet in the Xu Mansion was over, Ye Qiongdan returned to Qinghe County, and entered the mansion in the county in the twilight.

As soon as she entered the door, Ye Qiongxiang who was sitting in the main room walked towards her.

"Adan, it's bad! My mother is gone!" Xiang girl was so anxious that her eyes were red, and her handkerchief was tightly wrinkled.

"What's going on?" Ye Qiongdan was startled immediately, "Why did she disappear? When did you find out that she was missing? Did you report to the officer? Was there anything unusual before she disappeared? Where she usually goes, find her Are there any clues?"

"Actually, my mother has been gone for two days," Xiang girl bit her lips, "You told me before, let me visit my mother as much as possible, and enlighten her, but when I think of my mother being so right last time Auntie, I have some...some..."

"The thing about your mother throwing copper coins at people's faces is indeed too much." Ye Qiongdan nodded in approval, took her hand and shook it, "I understand you. Then what happened next?"

"After that, I didn't go to the town to see my mother for two days," Xiang girl sighed, "When I passed this morning, I was still a little nervous. I wanted to persuade my mother not to be so unreasonable. But my mother... will my mother really listen to me? How could I know that after I went to my grandmother's house, my aunt said that my mother hadn't come back for two days, and she thought that my mother had already returned to Shanghe Village. Knowing that something was wrong, I hurried to the county government to report the case."

"What did the yamen say?" Ye Qiongdan asked again.

"After some investigation by the yamen, they told us that no one in Shanghe Village has seen my mother in the past few days." Before, I saw my mother talking to a strange young man again."

"A strange young man?" Ye Qiongdan asked quickly, "You didn't tell your father about this, did you? Don't cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

"I haven't had time to tell my father yet." Ye Qiongxiang said with some fear.

"What about your father?"

"My father went outside to find my mother!"

"What about Xue girl and Hai girl?"

"They are still busy with business outside, and they don't know about it yet," Xiang girl looked at her helplessly, "Adan, I'm sorry, I'm so useless, every time something happens, I just I was thinking of coming to you right away."

"It's okay, I'll help you solve it," Ye Qiongdan gave her a comforting smile, and asked again, "Have you asked the yamen servant what that man looks like?"

"I asked," Xiang girl recalled carefully, "Aunt Wang said that the man was enigmatic, with a thick black cloth wrapped around his head, as if he was seriously ill, but on his left arm , there is a big black mole, and the nail on the little finger of his right hand is also gray, and the man's feet are not small, even if you give him the largest women's shoes, he should be able to wear them. "

"Ye Jigang!" Ye Qiongdan said immediately.

"Ye Jigang? His features and characteristics are all matching, but hasn't he already escaped from Qinghe County?" Xiang girl was shocked.

"That day, he fled Qinghe County, but do you think his mother is still in Qinghe County, will he not come back?"

Xiang girl suddenly panicked, her face turned pale: "I remembered!"

"What do you remember?" Ye Qiongdan asked hastily.

"That day, my mother took a bunch of copper coins and hit my aunt on the street. At that time, there was a man like this standing across the street. That man was watching us all the time! His head was wrapped with a thick Heibu, there is a big black mole on his left arm exposed in the sun, and the nails on the little finger of his right hand are also gray." Xiang girl felt her lips were a little dry, she sighed subconsciously, "but that At that time, I just thought that Ye Jigang had fled Qinghe County, and I didn't expect him to come back at all!"

"That's right! Although the gates of the city were blocked at that time, they were not allowed to enter and not to exit. How could the officers and soldiers search for people entering the city?" Ye Qiongdan said in a deep voice, "Ye Jigang was able to escape, it must be because he found a The underground passage leading to Qingyuan County, if my guess is correct, that passage should be under that ruined temple."

"Then what should we do now? Shall we go to Qingyuan County to find the escaped Ye Jigang?"

"It's been two days, I'm afraid he is no longer in Qingyuan County." After thinking for a moment, Ye Qiongdan led her to the study room, "I'll draw a portrait of your mother, and then, you can go to the street The painter next to me will draw a few more copies, and then, let these women who are temporarily idle in my house help you find Ren Yazi in Qinghe County, and ask Ren Yazi with the portraits."

"You mean, my mother was sold?" Ye Qiongdan was shocked.

"Probably."

Of course, it is also possible that Ye Jigang killed him and hid his body.

When Ye Jigang was in the prison, he could do cruel things like stabbing his cellmates, so it's not surprising that he can kill people now.

You know, that cellmate has no grudges with him in the past, and he has no grudges in the near future, and the relationship between the second wife and Ye Jigang is deadlocked!
However, before raising the guess that the second wife was sold, Ye Qiongdan first made a fortune teller for the second daughter-in-law. This hexagram showed that the second wife was still alive, but the situation was very dangerous!

After Ye Qiongdan entered the study, he ordered the housekeeper to find some hard charcoal sticks, and drew a sketch of the second wife on rice paper.

"Adan, why are you so good at drawing?" Ye Qiongxiang asked puzzled.

"When my family was poor, didn't I love to scribble on the ground with tree branches? That's when I started practicing." Ye Qiongdan explained what the original owner had done.

"It's amazing." Ye Qiongxiang praised.

In fact, Ye Qiongdan was forced to know how to draw, so he couldn't learn how to draw talismans if he studied Taoism?

If the talismans are drawn well, the painting skills will reach a half-baked level.

After the sketch was finished, Ye Qiongdan rolled up the rice paper and handed it to Ye Qiongxiang: "This matter must be done as soon as possible, so as not to cause long nights and dreams!"

"I know!" Xiang girl nodded, and then hurriedly ran out.

An hour later, a woman from the mansion brought in a prostitute from the west of the city.

After the toothmaid entered the house, she began to look around, then she set her eyes on Ye Qiongdan, and blessed her politely: "I have met this little master, and it is this little master who wants to ask me about it." human?"

"Well," Ye Qiongdan nodded, "The person I sent over showed you the portrait, right? Have you ever seen the person in the portrait?"

"Yes." The prostitute nodded, "Two days ago, a man with a black cloth wrapped around his face sold her to me."
