On Cangyu's side, the news about the missing girls and Jiuer spread like wildfire overnight.
Many of the people who were unsure of Jiuer's whereabouts gathered outside the General's Mansion, or outside the Su Mansion, or even in places like the Yici Bookstore, Jinzhao Tower, and the Su Mansion's public teahouse.
The most outrageous thing is that because the news of Wang Xiaojin’s disappearance had spread, people began to gather outside the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
Now outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Is Miss Wang Er really missing?"
"How could this be false? Who would joke about something that would damage their reputation? The reason it wasn't spread before was because the Prime Minister's Office was covering it up."
"But if it was really related to that evil woman Duan Ajiu, how could Miss Wang Er be in trouble? Aren't Miss Wang Er and she good friends? The scenes of that evil woman standing up for Miss Wang Er a few days ago are still fresh in my mind..."
This small voice of doubt immediately attracted the glares of people around.
"You are so naive. That witch's behavior makes it hard for people to suspect her! After all, her 'good friend' Miss Wang Er is missing!"
"That's right. Think about it. That witch just appeared out of nowhere. Everything about her was weird!"
"No... I was just wondering how that witch could have kidnapped so many girls overnight? Many of them were still in the heavily guarded mansions..."
"What's so strange about this? Think back to the trick that the witch showed in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion more than half a month ago. Even a shrewd person like the Prime Minister's wife fell for her trick. If she is controlled by her, then she is controlled by her. Isn't it normal for her to have other evil magic?"
The people around were talking at the same time, becoming more and more excited.
"Is that it? There's nothing we can do about that witch?"
"It's impossible that there is no way out. Even if there is no way out for the common people, don't forget about the nobles. Their daughters have also been abducted."
"But the government and the court are silent!"
"There is no solid evidence, right? Besides, that witch has bewitched a lot of people, including Master Su and General Duan Rong. She has many people implicated, so we should not act rashly."
"You can't do anything about that witch now! Don't you have a 16-year-old daughter in your family? Even if you don't have one, don't your relatives and friends have one? Aren't you afraid?"
There was silence all around.
The one in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion is considered very sensible, the most exaggerated is the one in front of the General's Mansion.
Now hundreds of people were surrounding the gate of the mansion, banging on it and shouting for the evil woman Jiuer to be handed over.
The door of the general's mansion was slammed loudly. Inside the general's mansion, Jiu'er, who had already changed her appearance, stood up and smiled at Duan Rong, who was also changing his appearance, and said, "It's getting dark. Let's go~"
At this moment, the two of them looked like ordinary servants. Duan Rong was amused when he saw her appearance, "You really want the world to be in chaos."
Having said that, there was no intention of stopping it.
Jiuer was very excited, "Since they have come to me, of course I have to join in the fun!"
He then leaned over and looked towards the main gate outside the mansion. "Do you think all these people are really here to attack me? Are there any who want to take advantage of the situation?"
Duan Rong asked meaningfully, "What do you think?"
Jiuer blinked, "I think so!"
The two did not go out through the main gate. Although there were people at several side doors, there were much fewer people.
Those who were blocking the side door saw the door open and two ordinary-looking servants came out. They were stunned for a moment and then started shouting again.
"Where is your master?! Ask him to hand over that witch Duan Ajiu!"
The servant played by Duan Rong said in a dull voice, "Our master is now watching a play with Miss Jiu."
One sentence made those people angry.
Jiu Er kindly suggested, "Everyone, if you shout here, no one in the mansion can hear you at all."
After saying this, the two of them were about to leave.
“Stop!”
Someone came to his senses and stared at them inquiringly.
"What are you in charge of in this general's mansion? What are you doing now?!"
Jiuer gave them an innocent smile, "Miss Jiu said that it's boring to see the same familiar actors all day long. Let's find her some girls who have never sung an opera to sing, that would be more fun."
He asked innocently, "By the way, everyone, do you have such a girl in your family? Fifteen or sixteen years old. It doesn't matter if she can't sing, there are people in the mansion to teach her. The money is very generous." It would be fun to scare you even if it doesn't make you angry to death.
The people around him paused and inexplicably took a breath.
I felt a chill down my spine.
Jiuer continued to perform, with a look of regret on her face, "Nothing? Then we can only go to the human skin vendor to buy some. Oh, brother, let's go quickly. If we delay, Miss Jiu will definitely skin us and our families and make human skin lanterns!"
These words made those people feel cold from head to toe.
It was during this gap that he watched Jiuer pulling Duan Rong away.
It took them a long while to come back to their senses.
Someone murmured, "Sure enough, it was that witch Duan Ajiu who did it!"
"The people in the General's Mansion didn't even shy away from this and helped the tyrant to commit evil..."
Someone screamed, "We need to tell other people about this, everyone, hurry up!"
By the time someone remembered to follow the two "servants", Jiuer and Duan Rong had already changed their appearance and outfit and disappeared into the crowd.
An invisible panic spread among the people, and everyone even began to resent the government and the court for inaction.
Late at night.
In a secret room in a teahouse opposite the official post house where the Goddess of Wu Hai lived.
Jiuer, who was eating the cake, chewed and swallowed the cake in her mouth in an instant, "Huh, it moved."
Duan Rong, who was standing by, glanced nonchalantly in the direction of the official post station and said, "No one has come out."
Then he said, "Eat slowly, you won't choke."
Jiuer chuckled and said, "Then he must have taken a secret passage or something like that. After all, the Holy Bee has already sent out a signal and wants to catch up."
Duan Rong smiled, "It seems there really is a secret passage, and I didn't even know about it."
Jiuer didn't believe him and pulled Duan Rong's sleeve, "Come on, let's catch up."
The Goddess of Wu Hai did take the secret passage.
She is accompanied by her most trusted and capable maid.
At this moment, there were only the Goddess Wu Hai and her maid in the secret passage. The maid holding the lamp said with some concern, "Goddess, the whole Cangyu capital is spreading the rumor that Duan Ajiu is the witch who kidnapped the girl. Today, many people surrounded and made trouble outside places related to Duan Ajiu, such as the Su Mansion, the General's Mansion, and a bookstore..."
The Wu Hai Goddess did not stop walking. "Just say whatever you want to say."
"I was thinking that Duan Ajiu and the people behind her are not easy to mess with. It is impossible to let Duan Ajiu bear the blame for no reason."
"This is the first time that you, Lady Goddess, have gone out to work for the Cangyu Imperial Family since the rumor spread that Duan Ajiu was a witch who kidnapped people. I'm afraid that Duan Ajiu is waiting for your move, Lady Goddess..."
The Wuhai Goddess said calmly, "Alan, we have no choice. As long as the millions of people of Wuhai cannot move out of Wuhai, they will not be able to sleep peacefully."
Maid Alan bit her lip.
Yes, millions of people of Wuhai Kingdom are still waiting!
They have no choice!
After walking for about half an hour, the two came out of the secret passage, where someone was already there to greet them.
There was a curfew on the streets at this time, and not even a ghost could be seen, let alone people.
The man in black took the Wu Hai goddess and the other person and walked around in twists and turns for a few times, and then entered an ordinary courtyard that looked unremarkable.
But when they pushed open one of the more inconspicuous rooms, they saw a dozen young girls lying in the room in a mess!
They all looked to be around fifteen or sixteen years old. Some were wearing gold and silver, while others were wearing plain clothes and straw hairpins. It was obvious that they were another group of newly missing girls!
The man in black said expressionlessly, "Thank you, Goddess."
The Wu Hai Goddess said calmly, "You go out first."
Jiuer and Duan Rong, who had followed the Holy Bee, were now hiding in a shadow not far from the house.
Jiuer was really curious about how the Goddess of Wu Hai destroyed her holy bee, but she didn't plan to alert the enemy now.
But there were too many mosquitoes in this place. When Jiuer was about to slap the mosquito that bit her, Duan Rong grabbed her and held her in his arms.
Duan Rong did it very naturally, so Jiuer didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
She had grown up being the center of attention, with a bunch of brothers who all doted on her.
Inside the house, the goddess moved quickly.
After a short while, the Wu Hai Goddess opened the door and came out, "Okay, Duan Ajiu won't be able to track them in a short time."
"Thank you, goddess. Please come this way, we have someone to take you back."
The Goddess of Wu Hai nodded, and left the courtyard with her maid and the other man in black.
Jiuer and Duan Rong did not continue to follow the Goddess of Wuhai, but stayed where they were.
Jiu'er in Duan Rong's arms raised her head coquettishly and said to Duan Rong, "If there is a secret passage in this house, our work tonight will be in vain."
Duan Rong chuckled, "Even if there is a secret passage, they can't escape."
It turns out that there is indeed a secret passage here.
Because there has been no movement in the entire house for a long time.
In the country of Cangyu, secret passages and mechanisms are very common.
However, soon, one of Duan Rong's subordinates came back to report that their professionals in this field had already tracked the whereabouts of those people in the mansion who were moving the girl, and had made marks on the ground along the way.
Therefore, those who transferred the girl took the underground secret passage, while Jiuer, Duan Rong and a subordinate in black followed them from the ground according to the secret code.
After chasing for a while, the final place where the secret code stopped was actually Jingzhao Prefecture!
Jiu Er raised her eyebrows and tutted, "Since we are here, shall we go in and take a look?"
Duan Rong was also very interested. "I want to see it too." He picked up Jiuer and her figure flashed and landed silently on a beam somewhere in Jingzhao Prefecture.
It was already the late night, and even Jingzhao Prefecture seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
Except for a few officers and soldiers on night duty, no one else was seen.
There are many rooms in various palaces and courtyards, and each room seems to be able to hide a lot of people.
Jiuer and Duan Rong went together, and Duan Rong's subordinate went together. They split into two teams and went to search in different directions.
They are professionals in finding people and can tell at a glance where people are most likely to be hiding.
After a while, Jiuer and Duan Rong found the door of a seemingly ordinary house.
The two of them immediately noticed something was wrong in the room. After looking at each other, Duan Rong protected Jiuer with one hand and pushed open the door silently with the other hand.
There were more than ten people lying in the room, all of them were girls!
At this moment, a large number of soldiers and officers suddenly rushed out of the deserted courtyard.
The officers and soldiers quickly surrounded Jiuer and Duan Rong, and the torches in their hands were instantly lit up, and in an instant, the dark night was as bright as day.
Jiuer and Duan Rong were also clearly photographed.
The governor of Kyoto Prefecture had just taken office and stepped out from behind the crowd.
"Finally, I have caught the mastermind behind the kidnapping of the girl!"
