Datang: In order to be a salted fish, I decided to look forward to my father Jackie Chan

Chapter 170 Buying Slaves
Everyone chatted and saw that Li Xiao was not very interested, obviously he was on other matters, so they hurriedly ended today's banquet.

It was late when Li Xiao came out of the building, and it took an hour to eat and drink in the restaurant, which is why Li Xiao was reluctant to go out to eat and drink, after going there for several hours, the butt hurt from sitting!
After taking a few steps forward, I felt uncomfortable all over.

He hurried back to the restaurant again.

"Little two!
"Master, what's your order?" Xiaoer hurried to the door with a shy face, listening to Li Xiao's greeting.

"Where is the woman who came with me?"

Li Xiao just felt something was wrong, Yingying Yanyan was missing by her side!

"My lord, you are asking the right person, a man in a scholar's uniform came to deliver the letter, and I sent the letter to that girl.

Not long after that, the girl left. "

Li Xiao walked away slowly, left?This girl didn't even say hello.

Back in Cyclamen's backyard, Li Xiao realized something was wrong.

"Huaiyu, is Xiao Cui'er back?"

Qin Huaiyu didn't even raise his head, he just looked at the book, "Didn't I go to a banquet with you? Why are you asking about me?"

"Tell me, have you come back?" Li Xiao was already a little angry, and she was in a hurry here, while Qin Huaiyu still looked lazy, "Just be direct, don't talk nonsense!"

"I didn't see you coming back." Qin Huaiyu looked at Li Xiao's appearance, and knew that things might be different from what he thought, and nothing would happen. "Did something happen?"

"Go to the warehouse and ask if you've seen anyone. I'll go to the front yard and ask. Xiao Cui'er left early for the banquet today. I haven't seen him all the way back. I'm worried that something will happen!"

"Hi."

Qin Huaiyu, who was originally nervous, thought that something serious had happened. What if someone went to buy some things for women?
"Don't worry about it, do you still get lost in broad daylight?"

Li Xiao's eyes were sharp, "Go!"

Qin Huaiyu: "."

There is no other way, so I have to go!

Li Xiao quickly ran to the front yard and asked around the cyclamen's buddies, but no one had seen it.

Li Xiao looked disappointed and went back to the backyard to wait for Qin Huaiyu's news. He couldn't wait for a long time, and felt more depressed.

So I carefully reviewed Xiao Cui'er's recent situation, but before going to the banquet, she was in a good mood. Recently, she spent most of her time in the yard and did not go to other places. It could not be because of her My own business, leave without saying goodbye!

Then it's only Li Xiao's own business.

correct!

Almost forgot one person, the Zheng family slipped through the net!
Zheng Cheng!

When the Zheng family was arrested in Xingyang, no trace of Zheng Cheng was found!
The members of the Zheng clan were arrested in Yangzhou City, but no trace of Zheng Cheng was found!
During the interrogation, the servants all said that Zheng Chengcheng was in the Zheng Mansion in Yangzhou City, but they didn't see anyone!

It's been so long since the Haizhun document was issued, and there is still no news at all. Li Xiao almost forgot about this person!When Qin Huaiyu came back, Li Xiao knew from his expression that no one was found.

"Is there no one found?"

"I suspect that Xiao Cui'er has been kidnapped!"

"The possibility of the murderer being Zheng Cheng is very high. I, Li Xiao, have been offended. He is the only one who deserves to kidnap people and is still alive!
Zheng Cheng! "

"Zheng Cheng?"

"As cowardly as he is, he has the guts to commit kidnapping?"

"Should we wait a little longer, maybe she will come back by herself in a while?"

Li Xiao waved his hand, "Don't wait any longer, and tell everyone in Xinyi Commercial Bank's industries to lead a team led by someone who has seen Xiao Cui'er's face, and search the whole city!"

"Leave one person to guard each property, in case Xiao Cui'er comes back by herself."

"I hope it's a false alarm!"

The whole city was mobilized and divided into teams to fight. One team started to search from the gate of Yuelai Building, and the rest of the people were fully deployed in the four directions of Yangzhou city, southeast, northwest.

Li Xiao was not idle either, he first sent someone to notify Cheng Chumo to find Zhang Di, the captain of Zhechong Mansion, and spread out outside the city to look for him!

Then Li Xiao went to the Yangzhou government office in person.

At the gate of the government office, a servant saw Li Xiao with a serious face, and knew that it was Lord Li, so he immediately stepped forward.

Before he saluted, Li Xiao asked impatiently, "Is Master Cui here?"

"Master Cui just came back not long ago, he should be resting in the back house!"

"I'm going to find him!"

Yamen servant: "."

Why are you in such a hurry?Didn't you just have dinner together?Master Cui was drunk, and at this time he came to find Master Cui again with a face like a tiger?

A woman screamed from the back house.

Li Xiao backed out again and again, this old critic, in broad daylight, did this?How urgent is this? Cui Zhenfang looked embarrassed and walked out disheveled, "My lord, what kind of wind brought you here?"

Li Xiao couldn't care less about Cui Zhenfang's face at this time, "Brother Cui? Do you still remember the girl who went to the banquet with me today?"

"Remember!" Master Cui nodded in doubt, and immediately remembered it without having to recall it. It is indeed a perfect example of how Mr. Li and that girl are like glue. They are still holding hands while walking. Can this not be memorable?

"To be honest, that is Princess Changle's personal maid!"

Cui Zhenfang: "."

That's it, it's okay, Lord Li, you are simply a model of a man!The princess's personal maid, you can just say that she is your future concubine Teng, and you have to turn a corner!

"Today's banquet, she left halfway and hasn't returned yet. I'm worried that she was kidnapped!"

Master Cui was so frightened that his beard trembled. The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, this maid belongs to the emperor's favorite Princess Changle. If something happens to her in Yangzhou City, there will be no chance for her position to be promoted!

"What do you need, my lord?" Lord Cui patted his chest and assured him again and again, "If you can use it, just order it, we old Cui will never complain!"

Li Xiao thanked him politely, "Thank you, Master Cui first, I want Master Cui to greet his subordinates, guard the four city gates strictly, and then ask, from noon to now, have there been any strange people appearing at the gates of the city!"

"No problem, I'll order someone to do it right away!"

"No, I, Old Cui, will do it myself!"

Li Xiao bid farewell and left.

As soon as he left the government office, someone came to report, and the merchants in Yangzhou City, especially Jin Daya and Peng Tong, were all searching with all their might!

And Jin Daya, as the biggest proprietor of Yuelai Building, while expressing his apology to Xinyi Firm, he also offered a high reward for discovering clues, rewarding a hundred guan, and rescuing hostages, rewarding a thousand guan!
It is very benevolent!
Walking on the road, Li Xiao wondered if there was any negligence!

There is Zhechong Mansion outside the city, there are guards at the city gate, and there are people from Xinyi Trading Company inside the city who are looking for it. They are safe, and I hope they can be found in time!
The traffic is so developed in the later generations, and the chances of finding missing persons within an hour are very high. Although the communication is not so developed now, the manpower used by oneself is not a minority!
