God left

Chengzhou has been quiet for a while these days. Jiang Lizhou and Xiao Fan were sitting together studying the topographic map of Chengzhou when they heard the noise at the door. Xiao Sheng stood up and said, "I'll go and have a look."

It took about a cup of tea to come back, Xiao Sheng said: "People say that the girl is lost, please help find someone."

Jiang Lizhou also raised his head: "What's going on, let's hear it."

Xiao Sheng sat down again, and said: "It is said that the girl from her family was captured to Wanning Building two days ago, by a monster. She said that there are monsters in that building, let us go catch the monster."

Jiang Lizhou raised his eyebrows: "A real monster or a fake monster?"

Xiao Sheng took a sip of tea: "Then who would know."

Xu Ling just opened the door and came in.Said: "It's very noisy, do you want to go and have a look?"

Xiao Fan frowned and asked, "Where is Wanning Building?"

Xu Ling approached with a smile: "Senior Brother Xiao Fan, Hualou, haven't you been there?"

Xiao Fan's ears turned red, and he coughed in embarrassment.

Jiang Lizhou squinted at Xu Ling: "Listen to your tone? A regular customer?"

Xu Ling quickly waved his hand: "I'm wronged, I've been following you, brother, don't you know?"

Jiang Lizhou said: "Don't take me with you, I haven't been there, I don't know if you have been there or not."

Xu Ling started looking for Jiang Lizhou to be happy again, and said in a long voice, "Anyway, brother, you must not dare now, but that one is here."

Jiang Lizhou threw a book on the table at him: "You're the one who talks too much."

Xu Ling leaned over: "Otherwise, it's fine to go there secretly and not let the tiger know."

Jiang Lizhou pushed him away: "Shut up——" He suddenly smiled, and said, "Oh, you bachelors can't understand that there is a beauty in the family, so there is no need to go out and flirt."

Xu Ling: "...Farewell."

Xiao Wang: "...Brother Jiang, I accidentally injured him."

While talking, the woman's screams and cries became more and more sharp. Jiang Lizhou couldn't bear it, so he stood up and said, "I guess I had no other way to find it. Let's go and have a look."

Xu Ling followed him out. As soon as they went out, they saw a woman with tears on her face. When she saw someone coming out, she knelt down. Xu Ling quickly stepped forward to help her up, and said, "Don't worry, we will go in slowly." Slow down."

After pouring a cup of tea for the woman, she said tremblingly: "My family is a small family, and my girls are engaged. A few days ago, I heard someone say that they saw my girl go to Wanning Building. How could she go to that kind of place, but she didn't go home that day, my man died early, I'm just such a daughter, I really can't live without this."

Xu Ling asked: "Are you sure she entered the Wanning Building?"

The woman said: "This incident was told to me by the elder brother who runs a rice shop next door to my house. He often goes to Wanning Building to deliver rice. He said that he saw my girl in the backyard. He can't be wrong."

As she spoke, she began to wipe her tears again. Jiang Lizhou thought about it, and asked Xiao Fan: "Is there anything else like this in Chengzhou recently?"

Xiao Fan said: "I didn't check it specifically, but there should be none during the few days I've been here."

Jiang Lizhou looked at the woman and said, "Don't worry, we'll help you find it right away. You go back and wait for news. If there is any other news, we will definitely tell you."

As he spoke, he beckoned someone to take a pen and paper, and asked his disciples to write down the woman's address, and sent her back as soon as possible.

Jiang Lizhou stood up and said, "Looks like I still have to go for a walk."

Xiao Fan said, "Then here?"

Jiang Lizhou smiled: "I'll go, and you guys just watch over."

Xu Ling was surprised: "Brother? Are you crazy?"

Jiang Lizhou clicked his tongue: "I'll take him with me."

Xu Ling: "...that's crazy."

Commander Jiang Lizhou gave Xu Ling a stick, and said, "I didn't say I wanted to enter Hualou. Besides, even if I entered, no one could take advantage of him. Let's go."

Xu Ling murmured silently to his back: "Tch, I just want to stay with the two of you, pretending to be private."

Jiang Lizhou seemed to have grown ears, Shang Ting turned back and gave him another stick.

Because he was afraid that Lin Qinghe would be uneasy if Lin Qinghe showed up, Jiang Lizhou seemed to be hiding in a golden house, and Lin Qinghe really didn't go out much.

When Jiang Lizhou entered, Lin Qinghe was sitting by the tea table. Jiang Lizhou went to hug him from behind: "Come on, let's go out to investigate the case."

Lin Qinghe looked at him inexplicably: "What are you looking for?"

Jiang Lizhou deliberately teased him, lowered his head and said, "Go shopping in the flower house."

Lin Qinghe glanced at him and said nothing.

Jiang Lizhou hurried to pull him: "Just kidding, just kidding, I'll take you out to play, it's not been a long time since you went out."

Lin Qinghe sighed: "The Taoist priest won't let me go out, how dare I go out."

Jiang Lizhou pulled him with a smile: "The Taoist priest will take you out to play, hurry up and go away."

The inner city of Chengzhou didn't seem to feel the covetousness outside the city, and there was a sense of tranquility and peace.

Jiang Lizhou had just figured out the location of the Wanning Building before he came, so he dragged Lin Qinghe straight over there.

Lin Qinghe stood in front of the door unhappy: "Do you have to go in?"

Jiang Lizhou smiled: "If you don't go and see, how will you know what's going on?"

Lin Qinghe dragged him to the side door.

Jiang Lizhou sighed a few times, and Lin Qinghe led him directly into the backyard.

The servants who were working in the backyard were taken aback. The thugs reacted quickly and surrounded them when they came up. Just about to make a move, Lin Qinghe pulled Jiang Lizhou forward and said, "Do you know this dress?"

The thugs froze for a moment, Lin Qinghe's voice was cold: "Ask your stewards to come here, the Taoist priest has something to ask."

Jiang Lizhou was pulled back and forth by him like a marionette, thinking, okay.

They were invited to wait in the back room. Not long after, a woman walked in, she should be the proprietress in this building, she looked like she was still beautiful, and her complexion and posture were not inferior to the young girl who was waiting for customers at the door.

She slowly stepped forward to bow to them, and asked softly: "I don't know what orders you two young masters have."

Lin Qinghe's face was dull, and he said, "I don't know if you have lost a few girls, or if there are any more girls?"

The landlady's expression changed, and she waved her hand to get everyone around to retreat. She sat down and asked softly, "I don't know where you heard about it, my lord? We are Hualou, girls come and go, naturally There will be more or less, I don’t know what you mean by asking?”

Just as Jiang Lizhou opened his mouth, Lin Qinghe said again: "Of course I'm not asking what you snatched in and what you killed. I'm asking about uncontrollable disappearances under your nose."

The proprietress picked up the handkerchief in her hand, nodded her lips, and said with a smile: "I really don't understand what you mean."

Lin Qinghe pointed to Jiang Lizhou again: "This is a disciple of the Shenxiao Sect. You must know that divination and calculation are basic skills in Taoism. We are not here to play riddles with you."

Jiang Lizhou said in his heart, don't brag, I really can't.

The corners of the landlady's eyes drooped, her expression became more and more flustered, she glanced around a few times, and then said: "We are often young girls now, there will always be some who repent and want to run away, and we can't all watch it."

The proprietress said again: "Although I don't know why the two of you are here, we really have nothing to investigate here. If I don't keep an eye on the outside, there will be trouble."

As she spoke, she stood up and bowed to them again: "I'm sorry I'm sorry."

When they left the Wanning Building, Lin Qinghe said: "It seems that this Wanning Building is really weird, she doesn't even dare to speak."

Jiang Lizhou smiled: "We'll know for a few days, we will always know."

The street was crowded with people, Jiang Lizhou heard the noise ahead, so he dragged Lin Qinghe over to watch the excitement.

When I squeezed in, I saw a notice saying that a landlord surnamed Chen had lost his daughter and was paying a lot of money to find her.

Jiang Lizhou raised an eyebrow at Lin Qinghe: "It's not a coincidence."

Lin Qinghe stretched out his hand to circle him, also showing a little interesting eyes, and said in a low voice, "Then let's go take a look?"

They were talking, and the servant who came to post the notice was about to leave, pushing and shoving the crowd to make way, when he suddenly saw the Taoist robe on Jiang Lizhou's body, pushed aside the crowd and walked over, respectfully cupped his hands at him: " Excuse me, is this Taoist priest a disciple of the Shenxiao Sect?"

Jiang Lizhou returned the salute to him and said, "Exactly—what's the matter?"

The family member was a little embarrassed and said: "The Taoist priest also saw the notice that our master asked to post, but it has been posted for several days, and it is full of rascals who eat and drink to reveal the list. My lady has no news at all. I am really worried. I would like to ask if the head of the Taoist priest can give us a favor and help us, I am very grateful."

As he spoke, he bowed to Jiang Lizhou again, and Jiang Lizhou smiled: "Let's find a place to chat."

The family Ding was overjoyed and hurriedly invited them back to the mansion.

Mr. Chen seemed to be in his early forties, and when he saw them in the living room, his face was still full of sadness. Jiang Lizhou asked: "Since there is no news for these days, why don't you go to the tower to ask for help? Whoever they are is better than you." Looking for a needle in a haystack to ask for help Qiang."

Master Chen sighed and said: "Although we ordinary people don't have much ability, we also know that the Taoist sword cultivators in the city tower are doing more important things than my family's affairs, so how can we bother."

Jiang Lizhou said: "Don't bother me now, please tell me in detail when Miss disappeared."

Master Chen thought for a while, and said: "It was almost three days ago. That child likes to eat dim sum from Xianfenglou, and he often takes his maid to buy it in person. It is usually good, but this time, no matter what he went there Not coming back."

Jiang Lizhou asked again: "Miss, do you only bring a girl with you when you go out?"

Master Chen said: "The Daoist doesn't know something. The ancestors of our Chen family were martial arts masters, who practiced martial arts for generations. I am weak at the knees. There is only such a daughter who has always been raised as a man. She herself has a little knowledge of martial arts, so she went out. Never bring guards."

Jiang Lizhou smiled: "Then please lend me a servant, Master, and take me to the Xianfeng Tower to have a look."

Master Chen stood up: "Of course it's not a problem, it's time for the Taoist priest."

The servant led the way, and Jiang Lizhou told him to go back.

Lin Qinghe looked at the building with a frown and said, "This place looks quite normal."

Jiang Lizhou pulled his hand from under his sleeve: "You can only find out if you go in and have a look."

Jiang Lizhou took him upstairs to sit in the private room by the window. Lin Qinghe looked at the plates of pastries on the table and asked doubtfully, "Are you here to find out the secret recipe of these pastries?"

Jiang Lizhou let out a sigh: "I've heard that the cakes in Xianfenglou are excellent, you can try it—it won't delay you."

After a while Xiaoer came over with another jug ​​of wine, Lin Qinghe frowned even deeper: "This again?"

Jiang Lizhou sighed miserably: "I don't know, my lord, since you came to see me that day, I haven't touched alcohol. I'm really greedy. Would you like to drink a little?"

Lin Qinghe snatched the jug back, poured a glass on his own, tapped it with the tip of his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, saying, "A little."

Jiang Lizhou smacked his lips: "Stingy."

Jiang Lizhou raised his chin suddenly: "Look over there."

Lin Qinghe followed his gaze, and saw a building with powder railings and carved pillars, and saw the main entrance of the place from the side, where several gracefully dressed girls were waving handkerchiefs to attract guests.

Lin Qinghe snorted: "This Xianfeng Building is actually next to Wanning Building."

Jiang Lizhou stole the wine glass and poured it into his mouth while he wasn't paying attention, and said, "I'll pick an angle."

When Lin Qinghe found out, he had already drunk it secretly, and stood up angrily to grab the cup: "Hey you!"

Jiang Lizhou returned the wine glass with a smile, and said, "Isn't it a coincidence that these people were all lost around here?"

Lin Qinghe snorted.

Jiang Lizhou leaned over to give him a wine-scented kiss, and said, "And it seems that the missing ones are all from the girl's house—although I don't know the specific reason, but I should find out in two days."

Lin Qinghe thought about it seriously: "If we only tie up our daughter's house, what's the use of us squatting?"

Jiang Lizhou looked at him meaningfully.

Lin Qinghe's expression changed: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Lizhou said with a smile, "Honey, it's not difficult to turn into a girl."

Lin Qinghe's face darkened: "I always feel...you are not here to investigate the case."

Jiang Lizhou stole another fragrance on his face: "Go back and change into another one for me to see."

Lin Qinghe quickly took a step back: "Don't even think about it!"
