Chapter 93 Search

"My lord, I have already asked. There are five missing children. They are three or four years old. Two of them are children of people in the West Village and East Village outside the city. Recently, the adults are busy with the autumn harvest. The children have not been seen for a day before reporting to the official. , and the other three were lost in the city, there were many people who went to the streets to admire the moon last night, and they disappeared after a while."

Yan Cijing said to Luo Sheng: "Not long after the Jiangling city gate opened, General He sent people to guard it. If he had left the city early, the sky and the earth are big, and it would be even more difficult to find someone. If he hadn't left, he would still be in the city. General He is now searching extensively, and he can always find clues."

Luo Sheng said: "It is impossible for Yazi to show up in the city with five children."

Yan Cijing said coldly: "The matter has been exposed. In order to get out of the city as soon as possible, Yazi will definitely abandon five children. If the children keep crying..."

Everyone in the hall stopped talking, only the people who lost their children outside the hall cried loudly.

At this time, Duan Chengkong, who was also in the hall, kicked the aunt over and was furious: "Where did you hide the child?"

The aunt prostrated herself on the ground with her hair on her head, "My lord! I was wronged! What has my child got to do with me!" Pointing at Duan Chengfeng, "You can't just say wrong!"

The goshawk on Duan Chengkong's shoulder screamed at the aunt, and Duan Chengkong patted the goshawk's claws, saying: "When I saw you last night, you were holding a lantern to lure children."

The aunt cried: "I saw him cute! I just wanted to tease him, is there anything wrong?"

"If it wasn't for the ghost in your heart, why did you run when I called to stop you?"

"You are holding a sword on your back and yelling at me fiercely, am I not afraid? If you don't chase me, how can I run?"

Yu Fangzhi listened, very confused: "Master! Are you sure she is Yazi?"

Yan Cijing also wondered why Duan Chengkong thought that the Huayi aunt must have stolen the child?Listening to Duan Chengkong's description, I just saw her tease the children with lanterns, how could it be a trick?

The aunt wiped her tears and pointed at Duan Chengkong: "If you see me hugging the baby and running away, then I have nothing to say, but I don't!"

Everyone's eyes were on Duan Chengkong, and Duan Chengkong blushed: "It must have something to do with her! I can't mistake her! I can recognize her when she turns into ashes, and that Mr. Luo! You can recognize her too! Say it yourself !"

Luo Sheng?Yan Cijing looked at Luo Sheng.

Luo Sheng smiled wryly and nodded: "Xiaguan has a little impression. It seems that Xiaguan had solved a child abduction case with the former magistrate decades ago. At that time, she was arrested once. If I remember correctly , her name is Fly Pom..."

Yan Cijing was puzzled: "The law of this dynasty stipulates that abduction and trafficking of children is a serious crime of beheading. Why can she escape?"

The Fly Girl screamed: "Because I'm innocent! That's why I was released!" Pointing at Duan Chengkong, "You can't deliberately wrong me because of what happened in the early years!"

Duan Chengkong was unmoved, and believed that this time had something to do with Mrs. Miao, but Ms. Miao denied it. When the matter reached this point, there was no further progress, so he ordered people to lock Mrs. Miao temporarily.

As soon as the people left, there was only suffocating silence in the hall.

Yu Fangzhi spoke first: "Master, are you sure it's her?"

Duan Chengkong picked up the gavel and threw it at Yu Fangzhi, Yu Fangzhi flashed, and the gavel got stuck in the wall behind him.

"Evil! Even you don't believe me!"

Yu Fangzhi waved the dust away, hid behind Yan Cijing, and said, "If it's really her, she won't be able to find out the whereabouts of the child if she refuses to plead guilty. If it wasn't for her, it would be a waste of time to interrogate the child."

Regarding this, Duan Chengkong still insisted: "It must be her!"

Even Luo Sheng persuaded him: "Maybe Duan Daxia has misjudged him..."

Duan Chengkong became angry when he heard this, and his face was gloomy: "Master Luo, you handled the child trafficking case with Mr. Meng back then, and saw the tragic scenes back then. How can you say such a thing?"

"Master Luo," Yan Cijing stopped, "bring you the map of Jiangling City."

While waiting for the map, He Qian came back with a dejected face indicating that he had found nothing so far.

Duan Chengkong saw He Qian as if he saw a life-saving straw, grabbed him and asked, "Brother He! They don't believe me, tell me, do you think it was done by the fly woman?"

He Qian nodded: "It's definitely not a coincidence that Fly Granny appeared in Jiangling City! She has a problem!"

Duan Chengkong snorted coldly.

Yu Fangzhi persuaded: "The most urgent thing is to find the child."

Everyone knew the seriousness of the matter, but looking at the map of Jiangling City, they still had no clue.

Yan Cijing drew a line on the map: "After the evening of NO.20, the two lost children in the west and east of the city were never seen again. If they were really abducted, it would be too late to chase after them." .”

He Qian shook his head: "We can't give up looking for someone."

"That's what I want to say." Yan Cijing said, "If the children inside and outside the city were all abducted by the same group of people, after Yazi took away two children outside the city, on the night of Mid-Autumn Festival last night, he groped the black belt Three children are gone, how do we take five children out?"

He Qian suddenly realized: "Going out of the city must use something that can hide, take the child out, and then leave with the two children hidden outside the city."

Yan Cijing nodded: "Yes, so the children outside the city probably haven't been taken away yet."

But the place outside the city is also big, how can I find it?

Yu Fangzhi thought about it carefully: "There are people coming and going outside the city, and it is impossible to guarantee that someone who is interested will not notice the child, so if the child is robbed, it must be hidden immediately. The West Village and the East Village are not big, but Tibetans' cellars, old Houses, woods, low hills, everywhere."

He Qian couldn't sit still when he heard this, and ordered the people below to search.

"And the three children who were abducted in the city?" He Qian said, "I have already sent people to search the wine shops and inns in the city, and put up notices, as soon as there are traces of the children and Yazi, someone will report."

Yan Cijing nodded: "There is a lot of movement in the search city, and Yazi dare not act rashly. He must be hiding somewhere waiting for an opportunity to escape. It is important to save his life. Yazi will get out as soon as possible before the city gate closes in the evening. Before that, we must find the child."

He Qian imitated Yan Cijing's thinking: "The lost places of children in the city are all concentrated near the main street. There are many private houses and warehouses in cellars here. I will take someone to find them immediately."

Yu Fangzhi also said: "The shops on the main street are more or less related to Yujia. I will send someone to ask immediately. Maybe someone knows something."

Yan Cijing nodded: "Those who provide clues will be rewarded!"

The officers and soldiers were dispatched to search for people in the city, which made people panic.

"What are you afraid of? You and I didn't do it!"

"So what if it's louder? The child's life is at stake!"

"I have to go to the school to see the child!"

People inside and outside the city all cooperated with the government's search operations, and actively reported any suspicious people they saw, but as the sun dipped, they still failed to find any useful information.

But not long after, Yue Junshan led people to find the two children locked in a chicken coop in a cave in the shade of a low mountain outside the city.

This discovery confirmed Yan Cijing's guess about Yazi that the same group of people stole the children inside and outside the city, and these people, together with the three missing children, must still be in the city!

The first person who recognized Yan Cijing as Yan Jingping appeared!

Chapter 96

At Chenshi, people gathered in front of the government office, and the case of a missing child attracted much attention. Afterwards, the guards of the city gate doubled up to check out the people in the city, and searched for suspicious people in the city.

At that time, two abducted children were found outside the city, and at the same time, there was no news from inside the city.

Noon, no news.

At the time of application, there is still no news...

"It's getting dark, let the city gate guards stop all the people leaving the city."

"My lord!" Luo Sheng followed closely behind Yan Cijing, "The inspection of the city gate has accumulated public grievances, and blocking people may cause riots!"

Yan Cijing strode out of the government office, walked towards the main street, and said firmly, "We must not misplace one."

The two children who were rescued outside the city were fine, but they were a little tired from not having a drop of water for a day. The older children were able to speak, but their words were also confusing.

What kind of ghost came to catch people, with a green face and long teeth, bells and ribbons, fragrant and sweet.

Some villagers heard the doorway.

"Could it be the two exorcists from the village recently?"

As soon as I mentioned it, I remembered that around the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were always two strangers wandering around the city. They would come to cast spells when they inquired about someone who needed to drive away ghosts and evil spirits, and pray for good fortune.

Probably by taking the opportunity of exorcising evil spirits, the two entered freedom, let the child see the strangeness and let go of his guard, and then lured him with candy and shortbread, the child was hooked away like a fish biting the bait.

After getting the clues, He Qian found the robe and the ghost mask worn by the warlock by the lake, which confirmed the speculation that the warlock abducted the child, and then there was no progress.

No one has ever seen the appearance of a warlock, and everyone in the city is suspicious. Yan Cijing faced all kinds of passers-by on the street, and he really couldn't figure out who Yazi was and where he was hiding.

But he probably knew that as the dusk was getting darker, Yazi would definitely move to the city gate if he wanted to get out as soon as possible, so he asked He Qian to send someone to guard the only exit.

But those three children are the most important.

"Ci Jing, don't worry, you will always find it." Yu Fangzhi accompanied Yan Cijing, and on both sides, officers and soldiers were knocking on houses to inquire about the situation.

Yan Cijing was silent, and asked: "There are many language families, you asked people to pay attention to the movement, but didn't find anything?"

Yu Fangzhi shook his head.

"How could it be?" Yan Cijing murmured in a low voice, "Even if the child is temporarily hooked by the gadget, but finds that the parents are not around, he will scream and make trouble. In order not to attract attention, Yazi will definitely hide the child as soon as possible .”

"But the main street has almost been dug three feet into the ground, and the dry wells in the cellars and wells have been searched everywhere. How could there be none?"

Yu Fangzhi also found it strange: "Yazi had to take the child out of the city as soon as possible, but General He reacted very quickly. When the city gate opened, he sent additional people to check out the city people, but there was no trace of the child."

Yu Fangzhi looked around at the swift-moving officers and soldiers, and said, "It seems...they can predict the government's actions in advance."

Yan Cijing's eyes froze: "What do you mean?"

Yu Fangzhi explained: "If they can know the actions of the government in advance, change the plan of taking the children out of the city while the guards are on guard, and then quietly transfer the children before the government conducts a large-scale search..."

"How is it possible?" Yan Cijing didn't believe it, "How could it be so fast?"

Yan Cijing looked up at the sky, the red clouds became more and more blurred, the night gradually became overwhelming, and the shadow of the full moon became clearer and clearer.

high place...

Wide view from high altitude!

"Height!"

Yu Fangzhi knew it as soon as he heard it: "Go to the high place, places like Yuhan Tower and Shuhua Pavilion can't be imagined by General He! You can enjoy the scenery of the whole city from the high place, and you can clearly see the movements of the government!"

Before the words finished, Yue Junshan had already led people away.

Yu Fang knew that Yan Cijing didn't want to sit still, so he took him directly to the highest point of Yuhan Tower.

Yuhan Tower is a good place to enjoy the moon. Last night, it was difficult to get on the tower. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, because the high place is windy and cold, the banquet is not held on the top floor, so few people stop on the top floor. If you are a Tibetan, you will not be found. .

But there is nothing around.

The cold wind was howling from high above, Yan Cijing squinted his eyes and looked down, and saw officers and soldiers in bright red thin armor searching everywhere in the city. In this place, even the chaos at the city gate can be seen.

"The battle was huge. For the sake of the three children, Jiangling City was about to be overthrown. General He didn't think I was making a big fuss, and the people in the city rarely complained. If you can't find it..."

"Ci Jing." Yu Fangzhi held his cold fingers, looked at his scarlet eyes and chapped lips distressedly, stretched out his hand to hold him in his arms,

"My master just mentioned something to me. A long time ago in the Southland, Yazi was rampant. In Jiangling City alone, there were countless families who lost their children. Later, Master Meng and He Qian joined forces to eradicate the Yazi entrenched in the Southland. Gang, since then, Jiangling has gradually kept its doors open at night."

"He Qian and the people in the city hate him so much, no matter how much you mobilize the crowd, no one will blame you."

Yan Cijing leaned on Yu Fangzhi's arm, and his voice was muffled: "A Song and A Yan are the children who were kidnapped to Ye City. They don't remember where their home is..."

Yu Fangzhi patted him on the back to coax him: "They are fine now, you treat them well."

Xu Shi poured out all the anxiety and worries accumulated in his heart, and Yu Fang knew that Yan Cijing's body was no longer stiff.

Suddenly, a snort flew into the sky, and Yan Cijing was like a frightened bird. He quickly turned his head and looked out, only to see the white smoke explode and collapse.

"The child has been found."

Yu Fangzhi held Yan Cijing's hand tightly.

Yan Cijing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he looked towards the city gate.

"Would you like to take a look?" Yu Fangzhi asked.

Yan Cijing took the initiative to send his waist into Yu Fangzhi's arms: "Go."

At the same time, the city guards also saw the exploding signal flare in the sky, and they were overjoyed: "The child has been found!"

I don't know who in the crowd shouted: "It's getting dark, if you don't let him go, it's really a big government oppression!"

Most of the people who want to go out of the city are not the people in the city, how can they bear it when they hear this?The anxiety of waiting for a long time turned into anger, and with the sound of the porcelain bowl being smashed, the people who gathered together began to push and push the officers and soldiers.

"Let us out!"

"Is there any law to keep people at will!"

"Why don't you let people go? I'm a good citizen!"

The formation of officers and soldiers was dispersed, and they were pushed to the ground without a chance to draw their swords.

There was a commotion in the city gate, and a fierce man pulled out the knife from the waist of the officer and soldier, and stabbed the officer and soldier who blocked them in the chest.

With a sound of "Dang", the small stone flying from Yu Fangzhi's hand hit the hand of the thug, and the long knife fell to the ground.

Then it was the goshawks who swooped down and overturned the thugs.

Yu Fangzhi looked back: "Master."

He Qian also came, drew out a spear and pointed it at the kneeling people: "What's the trouble?"

"Everyone look up!"

Yue Junshan, Duan Chengkong and Luo Sheng each carried a child and walked into the crowd.

"Look, who is the one who took you away."

The children held back their tears and didn't dare to make a sound, but they couldn't pretend they saw someone they looked familiar with. The older children could point it out, while the younger ones just cried.

"Take these two people away!"
