After receiving Gu Siyi's order, Lin Haizhi felt no less than a storm in his heart.

He had the handle in other people's hands. If this was done flawlessly, his career would fluctuate, but it would be better than if Gu Siyi exposed his incompetence and collusion with bandits.

Magistrate Lin is determined to go all the way to the dark side.

Two days later, Changan discovered clues at Mazhuang Station.

He couldn't ask anything from the postmaster, so he was determined to continue to lurk and reveal his identity. The postmaster did not dare to say anything more.

Hard work paid off, and Chang'an finally found the clue.

Yesterday was an ordinary day. Chang'an squatted on the eaves, looking at the bright moon and sparse stars, and he let out a long sigh.

If you fail to share your master's worries and solve his problems, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will be difficult to catch your eye.

Chang'an was bored, holding a dog's tail grass in his mouth, thinking carefully about whether he should go back to Xu County and wait for his master's orders.

Just when he was depressed, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a sneaky figure in the yard.

Chang'an could vaguely see that he was from the inn stables, and he seemed to be mute. He didn't take this person seriously.

But where is this mute going in the middle of the night?

Chang'an's eyes flashed, and he stood on tiptoes and flew down from the eaves, quietly following behind the man.

That night, the gray pigeon spread its wings and flew away from the window of the inn. Someone in the stable raised his head, looked at the flying pigeon and smiled secretly.

"Master, come to Mazhuang Station quickly! There is a gangster colluding with the stable groom to plan to provide relief money and rice."

Gu Siyuan scanned a few lines of text. Chang'an followed a groom tonight. The groom usually pretended to be mute to hide from others, but in fact he was ordered to steal the key and exchange the contents of the box.

Chang'an followed the groom and watched him go to a wasteland and dig out a wooden box. Although it passed by in a flash, Chang'an could clearly see that it was a key with a cold light.

The key was smashed to pieces by the groom. At the end, he said with satisfaction that there would be no proof of death.

This sentence made Changan immediately convinced. Lu Ting led the team to reorganize the Mazhuang Station that day, and when he lost the key, someone had already figured it out.

There was a full 100 taels of silver in the box. Chang'an had inquired about it earlier, and it only took half a stick of incense to recover the key after it was lost.

Gu Siyuan checked the box and found that it was still an official box and not disguised.

Naturally, a mere horseman cannot take out the silver coins, hide them, replace them with copper plates and throw them in in half the time it takes to burn incense. He also replaces the new rice with old rice and rotten rice.

Chang'an can only think that the forces behind it are very deep, and the groom is just the vanguard among them.

He did not dare to delay and quickly wrote a few lines to report to his master. He felt relieved when he saw the pigeons flying away.

The pigeons are well-trained and their speed is not slow. Gu Siyuan will receive the news tonight.

Chang'an was filled with indignation, so he waited for his master to come and start a fight.

However, Gu Siyuan went there, and one day later, news of his disappearance came.

The person disappeared on the border of Xu County. The mountains there are rolling and rolling, and they are a famous bandit nest. Because the mountains are steep and easy to hide, many bandits occupy the mountains and become kings.

News of Gu Siyuan's disappearance was sent back to the station, and most people speculated that Gu Siyuan might have encountered an accident on his way to the inn.

"It couldn't be that he was forced to the cliff by the bandits, right? You want to see people alive, and you want to see the body after death. How can there be any disappearance?"

The man lowered his voice. He was a talker and was used to gossiping. Now that the prince's disappearance was such a big deal, it was inevitable that he would gossip about it.

Unexpectedly, Xu Shao passed by and heard everything clearly.

"The prince Jiren has his own destiny, so he will not be forced into a desperate situation by a group of bandits. Don't say any more!" Xu Shao was very unhappy. He had been following the prince for more than half a month, and he knew that his highness was always cautious in his actions. .

The day before yesterday, he left the station with a few guards around him, and he must have gotten some news.

"Xu Shao, everyone is looking forward to His Royal Highness coming here safely. It's just a few words. Why are you so anxious?"

"you……"

"Xu Shao, Brother Qin wants to see you."

The woman was taking care of the patients at Qin Zhongwan's camp. She glared at the men sitting there and said, "You naughties are used to being lazy in the village. Are your skin itchy? Why don't you go to work and let the third prince do it?" If I see it, why don’t I give you all a few sticks?”

The people dispersed, and Xu Shao followed the woman and saw Qin Zhongwan.

When the news of Gu Siyuan's disappearance reached Qin Zhongwan's ears, she couldn't believe it at first and thought it was a rumor. But later, when Gu Siyi sent out most of his guards to search for Gu Siyuan's traces at the border of Xu County, she had to believe it.

Gu Siyi searched the mountain extensively. If Gu Siyuan was still alive, he would be found soon, but Qin Zhongwan couldn't rest assured.

Would Gu Siyi be so kind as to help search for the prince?He wishes that the prince would die so that he could change his position, right?

Qin Zhongwan was still uneasy and determined to find someone to search for him.

Gu Siyuan took many of his guards with him when he left, leaving only a few in the camp. In desperation, Qin Zhongwan even approached Xu Shao.

"Going to find His Highness the Crown Prince? But the Third Prince isn't..." Xu Shao gradually fell silent, silently understanding Qin Zhongwan's worries.
