Fu Tong'er, who had been whipped dozens of times, was covered in blood and hid alone in a corner.
She couldn't see, and she felt cold, painful, and scared.
She was now in such a state, in such a state, she was in such a state, in such a state, that she was no longer the high and mighty daughter of the Fu family of Dian. Her closed eyes, trembling body, and torn clothes all reminded her that she was getting further and further away from the Ninth Master.
She hoped that Jiu Ye would find her and rescue her; but she also hoped that Jiu Ye would not find her. She did not want her savior, who had been obsessed with her and loved her for three years, to see her like this!
That would be harder to accept than seeing him marry someone else!
At this time, the man called "owner" had already left.
Yongshi Bank, ground level——
Lieutenant General Du clenched his fist and knocked hard: "Open the door, open the door! I am investigating the case by order of Regent Prince Chun!"
An old woman opened the door and looked up and down at Brigadier General Du and the dozens of imperial guards behind him.
Lieutenant General Du held up the search warrant from the local government magistrate and said, "In compliance with the order of the Regent Prince Chun, we are investigating the case of the official silver ship capsizing. This is the county magistrate's search warrant!" After saying that, he loosened his hand and the search warrant unfolded with a clatter.
The old woman said, "Since you are the sir, please come in." After that, she opened the door and Lieutenant General Du led the imperial guards into the house.
"Search for me!"
"Yes! Lieutenant General Du!"
The old woman bowed and said, "Sir, this is a private bamboo garden. We have always been away from the secular world and have not done anything that violates the laws of Dayan..."
"Hmph, we'll know whether it was done or not after we search it!" Brigadier General Du held the sword at his waist and looked at the imperial guards who were searching in front of him.
Since the wheel tracks disappeared before the bamboo forest and the road was paved with bluestone bricks, there was no trace of them. I searched for about half an hour but found nothing.
"No?!" Lieutenant General Du pushed aside the soldier who came to report and went to the backyard. The soldiers followed him, and the old woman smiled sinisterly.
When he reached the back hall door, an overturned bucket lay before him. Lieutenant General Du took a look, stepped over the water stain, and passed through another door to the east gate of the west wing.
I saw a cart parked nearby. I walked over to it and it was soaking wet. It smelled just like the bucket before, fishy and stinky. Because it was already dark in color, it looked pitch black.
The smell is a bit like blood.
"Open this door!" ordered Brigadier General Du.
The old woman came over and said, "Sir, this is the master's private library, you can't open it."
"What the hell can't be opened!" Lieutenant General Du drew his sword, "Open it!"
At this time, an elegant man in his thirties came over and said, "Sister, please let the official in. Here are the keys. We haven't done anything wrong. What's the harm in letting the official check?"
The old woman went over to take the key herself, picked up her clothes and walked up the steps, opened the golden lock, and the padlock was hanging.
A gust of dust blew towards me.
Lieutenant General Du waved his hand. "What a fucking library! It hasn't been opened in a hundred years! Ahem! Ahem! Let's go!"
Watching the officials leave, the old woman and the man smiled at each other.
It was getting dark.
Shangyang County City, inside the headquarters.
The main hall.
Jiu Ye sat in the hall with a sullen face.
We searched every house in the suburbs, but found nothing!
The county magistrate Wei Shichang led a search today at thirty-six taverns, ten brothels of various sizes, and more than a hundred small houses in the city, but he also reported back that he had not found the girl in the portrait.
At this time, Lieutenant General Du came back with his troops.
"Master Jiu! I've made a discovery in the Bamboo Garden on the outskirts of the city!" Lieutenant General Du reported, cupping his fists. "There's a wealthy family there called the Yongshi Bank. When I led my men in to search, I didn't find anything at first. But then, when I went to the backyard, I noticed something strange in one of the rooms."
