The whole family stayed up all night.
Early the next morning, Xia Youtian went to the slum and told his family about the disappearance of his two children, Xia Daohua and Linghua.
The academy and the Enlightenment School also sent Sanlang and Silang to report the news.
Mrs. Jiang and Xia Erlang also mobilized their resources to look for people everywhere to inquire about Xia Daohua's whereabouts.
Si Xi, the maid sent by Wang to look for Xia Daohua, arrived at Daohuaxiang and found that the servants all looked unhappy. After asking, she found out that Xia Daohua had disappeared.
Si Xi blurted out, "When did he disappear? Why didn't you report it to the police?"
The guy stammered and couldn't answer, but as soon as Si Xi finished speaking, he came to his senses.
I guess the Xia family is worried that the two young ladies did not return home at night. This kind of thing is hard to explain and should not be spread out.
Since they don't want to make it public, they naturally don't want to report it to the authorities.
But the grain in the warehouse has been delivered, and the number is still more than half of the 100,000 shi!
If we can’t find summer rice flowers in time, where can we find the food?
Si Xi couldn't help but wonder if Xia Daohua had run away with the money?
But on second thought, even if Xia Daohua really took the money and ran away, why did she only take Linghua with her and leave the rest of her family behind?
Thinking this way, Si Xi stopped blaming Daohuaxiang's servants and did not go to find the Xia family. Instead, he went straight back to Yang's house to report to the county magistrate's wife, Mrs. Wang.
How to treat the Xia family is still up to Wang.
When Si Xi reported to Wang, County Magistrate Yang happened to be there, so all the detectives from the Jixiang County government office were immediately sent out and were extremely busy.
