An Li hurriedly asked Chunliu to bring Li Yujiao's portrait and pass it to the guard.
The bandit took one look and shook his head.
"Ma'am, it's not this person."
"That woman, half of her face is disfigured, doesn't look like a good person. She's not the same person on the warrant."
"Madam, I said, please forgive us."
"From now on, I will never dare to rob again!"
The bandits knelt down and kowtowed for mercy.
An Li glanced at them coldly and waved to the guards, "It's resolved."
Since it can't provide information, what's the point of keeping it?
If we let them go, there is no guarantee that they will do good things in the future. It is better to get rid of them to prevent them from harming future generations.
"Madam, spare my life!"
"I don't want to die... I don't want to die..."
…
The guards dragged the fifteen bandits to the nearby woods and killed them with a single knife.
The trees on the official road ahead were moved aside to allow the carriage to pass.
On the way.
An Li has been wondering who asked the bandits to rob them?
She had no enemies in Yongjing City. Even if she had enemies, they would have been executed or thrown into prison long ago.
Who could that be?
Hearing the description, she suspected it was Li Yujiao, but it didn't look like it.
"Ma'am, don't overthink it. What if those bandits made it up to save their lives?"
Chunliu brought over a cup of Biluochun tea and persuaded her.
Chunhe was sitting behind Anli, massaging his shoulders.
An Li took it and took a sip of tea.
He said calmly, "It should be Li Yujiao and Wuxu."
"Don't forget, everyone who has seen Wuxu couldn't remember what he looked like in the end."
"How could there be such a coincidence in this world?"
At this moment, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was Wuxu.
Chun Liu thought about it carefully and said, "Madam, that's true. I overlooked this detail."
"So what should we do next? Madam, should we send the guards back to report to the authorities?"
An Li put down his teacup and said, "Let's talk about it when we meet again."
"It's too late to report it to the police now. The person has already run off and is hiding somewhere."
Then he looked at Xinbao.
I wanted to hear what my daughter was thinking, but I found Xinbao sleeping on the bed holding a puppy stuffed toy.
She smiled helplessly and pulled the thin quilt over her.
The carriage was traveling on the official road and gradually left the territory outside Yongjing City.
We arrived in Jiangzhou, a small town called Daquanshan.
Outside the town are mountains with pleasant scenery, and the people in the town live and work in peace and contentment.
By this time, it was already evening.
An Li sent his guards to book an inn and stay there.
It has been three or four days since we left Yongjing City, and it is time to rest.
night.
After dinner, An Li asked the inn waiter to bring him some water.
I gave Xinbao a bath and she soaked in it for a while. After getting rid of all her fatigue, she fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning.
An Li and a few others were having breakfast in a restaurant when they heard a sudden rise in voices from the table next to them.
"What?!"
"Another girl is missing in town?"
"Oh my God! This is the umpteenth time! Someone please come and arrest this villain!"
The waiter who was refilling tea also walked over.
He lowered his voice and asked curiously, "Whose family is missing this time? Have you reported it to the police?"
"well."
"She's the daughter of the Li family, the liquor seller at the end of town. What's the point of reporting her to the police?"
"It was reported before, but the police still haven't found out yet!"
"Oh, that's really scary."
The middle-aged man at the table took a mouthful of noodles and said.
Before the waiter could even sigh, the shopkeeper came over and kicked him in the butt.
"What are you asking?"
"The guest over there has an empty cup. Why don't you go and refill it?"
The waiter touched his butt, picked up the teapot and walked over.
An Li withdrew his gaze, gave Chun Liu a look, then put down his chopsticks and took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.
Mingxin finished the last of the egg custard in a few bites and patted her stomach. She was full.
"Waiter, check out."
Chunhe put down the copper coins, picked up Mingxin, and the three of them walked out.
Arriving at the first floor of the inn, An Li found a seat by the window and sat down.
After a while.
Chunliu walked in with a sweat on her brow and said softly, "Madam, this servant has asked around."
"This Daquan Town may seem peaceful, but in fact, thirteen girls have been lost in the past month."
"Nowadays, every household with a daughter is not allowed to go out."
"I don't know who did this, it's so abominable!"
Chunliu frowned, filled with indignation.
After hearing this, An Li intuitively thought, could it be Li Yujiao?
She had wanted to leave Daquan Town early this morning, but a voice in her heart told her otherwise.
You will regret it if you leave!
She sighed and said calmly, "Send a few more guards to get the details."
"Chunliu and Chunhe, you two come with me to visit the Pavilion Chief's Mansion."
An Li gave a few more instructions to the servants and guards, then left with Chun Liu and the other two.
Arrived at the Pavilion Chief's Mansion.
The headman and his wife warmly entertained An Li.
"Princess, I wonder what instructions you have for taking Daquan Town off the market?"
The pavilion chief wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked enthusiastically.
An Li raised his eyelids but didn't say anything. Chun Liu spoke for him, "The princess wants to know why so many girls disappeared in the past month."
"But you are not handling the case well?"
Chunliu glared at the pavilion chief.
The headman was so frightened that he dropped to his knees and said, "Princess, I am wronged!"
"As early as when the first girl disappeared, I sent people to search for her, but there was no clue at all."
