Hongshi looked at Yulan's father's legs with heavy eyes, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses and asked, "Then, did Miss Yulan have any signs before she disappeared, such as who she met and where she went?"

Father Yulan thought for a while before saying: "She hasn't been anywhere, just as usual, doing some housework at home, and then went to buy new year's goods, nothing special, and she was at home before, and she didn't touch anything. people."

Hongshi nodded, "Okay, I still have to visit a few other houses. If you think of any special places, you can come to the Yamen to find me."

Yulan's father nodded weakly, and asked Yulanniang to send Hongshi away.

After sending Hong away, Mother Yulan turned her head to look at Father Yulan, "I didn't expect there to be such a small yamen servant in the yamen."

"A yamen servant?" Father Yulan chuckled, and replied slowly, "I'm afraid it's the little nobleman who came down from above. How can such a filthy place like the yamen raise such a young master with clear eyes and an extraordinary bearing."

Yulan's father is different from Yulan's mother. Although he is just an ordinary person, he has also studied before, and he still has the vision he should have. But even if he is from above, so what, such a young boy can really Find out what happened?

After Hongshi came out of Yulan's house, he turned around and went to another bitter master's house.

The Chunmei family who was killed the second time was also a poor family. Although it was not as miserable as Yulan's family, it was not very comfortable and life was tight. Apart from Chunmei, this family also had a son who was Chunmei's elder brother. .

The old couple still have a son and son under their knees. Generally speaking, they are much better than Yulan's family.

Therefore, when Hongshi came, although they had pained looks on their faces, they did not have the despairing eyes of the second elder of Yulan's family.

Hongshi was still the same as before, after saying that he was from the Yamen, he began to ask about Chunmei's situation.

Chunmei is different from Yulan, she goes to her aunt's house to deliver things.

According to them, Chunmei's aunt and uncle opened a cloth shop in the city, selling all kinds of cloth and ready-made clothes.

It was Chunmei's mother who dug a lot of wild vegetables from the mountains that day and asked Chunmei to send the vegetables to her aunt, and then she never came back.

After that, Hongshi visited several other families. They had different reasons, but the destination was the same.

They all went to the city, bought things, delivered things, went to the market, without exception, they all disappeared on the way to the market.

Hongshi thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out how the good people disappeared.

When the missing people were found again, they were already out of breath, and they all died in the same way, losing blood and dying without any wounds on their bodies.

This is too weird!

It is impossible for an ordinary murderer to pick a place with a lot of people. If it is a place with a lot of people, it is difficult not to be seen, so it can only be on a road without people.

That is, the women were on their way to the market.

But Hongshi walked this road two or three times, but there was still nothing special about it.

After looking for a long time without any clues, Hongshi finally went back to the Yamen to discuss with Junqing.

Who knew that Junqing, like him, had nothing to gain, but the houses he looked for, like the ones Hong Shi went to, all disappeared on the way to the market for various reasons.

"They all disappeared on the way to the market, which is very strange!"

Hongshi had been thinking about who these women had seen and where they had been before they disappeared, but they all went to the market, which was a clue.

Junqing seemed to have thought of this too, and turned his head to look at Hongshi in shock, "Market, is there a problem on the way to the market?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. Maybe the murderer just squatted on the road to the market and waited for the target. When he saw the target appear, he immediately struck."

Hiroshi rubbed his chin, thinking seriously.Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he looked at Junqing, "If this is the case, then the place where the murderer squats is a place that all of them will pass by when they go to the market, and no matter where they live, they will go to the market." All the markets in the city must pass through here, and this place should be very sparsely populated.”

this place?

Hongshi tried hard to recall the way he went to those houses today, trying to see if he passed the same place.

Junqing also thought of this level, just like Hongshi, trying hard to identify whether he walked through the same place today.

After a while, Hongshi and Junqing looked at each other at the same time, and shouted, "By the cliff!"

The few houses they went to today, no matter how they walked, they would definitely pass a cliff to go to the market.

On the edge of the cliff, weeds are overgrown. If a person hides inside, he won't be able to see it if he doesn't pay attention.

It is also very easy to hide in the grass and knock people unconscious and drag them into the grass when they are not prepared.

"No, I'll go to the edge of the cliff to have a look!"

When Hongshi remembered it, he wanted to check it quickly, but as soon as he got up, he was dragged back by Junqing.

"I know you love the people, but it's getting dark now, and it's dangerous to go to the edge of the cliff. Let's go and see tomorrow. Now, it's time to eat and rest!"

Hongshi raised his head and looked outside suspiciously. Sure enough, the sky had become numb, and it was getting dark. He didn't even see when the lights were turned on.

Hong Shi thought for a while, he couldn't be in a hurry anyway, so he nodded, followed Junqing to eat, and then went back to his room to sleep.

The next day, when Hongshi was sleeping in a daze, there was a drumbeat outside, and someone beat the grievance drum.

After Hongshi was woken up, he turned over and sat up in a daze for a while, before realizing that someone had complained, so he quickly got up to wash up, and ran to the lobby.

When they got there, they happened to meet Zhang Huaiyuan, who was going to be promoted, and Junqing, who had heard the news, and they were arranged to watch in the inner hall.

Not long after Zhang Huaiyuan sat in court, the complainants were brought in. They were a sixteen or seventeen-year-old son and a weeping couple.

This young master is dressed in silk and satin, and when he walks, he wears his rings and wears each other, his nostrils are upturned, and he looks at no one in his eyes.

When he arrived in the lobby, he just stood aside and didn't salute. He didn't even look at Zhang Huaiyuan. Instead, the couple cried and knelt down and saluted Zhang Huaiyuan.

Hongshi had always looked down upon the contemptuous young master, but who knew that he would even despise the court and dare to be rude in the court.

You know, saluting parents and officials in the courtroom is a salute to the court on behalf of the court. It is really annoying that this person is so unreasonable.

In fact, this matter is neither big nor small. If it is too small, no one cares about it. If it is too big, if you despise the imperial court, you can punish the Nine Clans!
