On the West Mountain, three days had passed since the last interrogation, and Li Yuzhi went to find Su Li at the agreed time.
Outside the kitchen, Aunt Sang and the others looked puzzled.
Ah Xiu was even more puzzled: "Sister Mo went up the mountain to look for you three days ago, and she never came down. We thought she was living up there."
They thought that Qingcheng and Manager Li were about to get married.
"Three days ago?" Li Yuzhi frowned. Three days ago, Qingcheng went to find him?
But he didn't see her. Could something have happened?
He couldn't help but worry: "Did she tell you she was looking for me?"
Ah Xiu replied, "Yes, didn't you come to see Sister Mo four nights ago? After you came back, Sister Mo told us that you asked her to go to the mountain to find her the next morning, so we thought she had been living there all along."
At this time, A Xiu and the others also felt that something was wrong. Qingcheng said three days ago that she went up the mountain to find Manager Li, but Manager Li said that he had never seen her. So where did she go?
Ah Xiu couldn't help but feel anxious: "Where is Sister Mo? Is there anything wrong with her?"
Li Yuzhi's heart skipped a beat.
He didn't ask Qingcheng to find him, but she lied to them.
I'm just afraid that she didn't get into trouble, but just left.
But he personally deployed dozens of guards at the foot of the mountain, and he also personally supervised each checkpoint. No one has ever successfully escaped or gotten out of this mountain. How could Qingcheng leave here?
No!
Li Yuzhi opened his eyes wide and immediately ran up the mountain.
It’s father!
In the entire Xishan Mine, only my father's carriage entered and exited without needing to be checked!
Three days ago, my father passed away, and that was when Qingcheng disappeared!
She got out on her father's carriage!
"Shannu! Come out!"
In the cave, a man in black immediately flew out: "Master."
Li Yuzhi ordered, "Let all the people guarding the stable come to see me!"
"yes!"
A quarter of an hour later, the eight men guarding the stable knelt down in front of him. Li Yuzhi asked coldly, "Who was guarding the stable from the night three days ago until the prince's carriage left?"
Two short, fat men stepped out tremblingly: "Manager Li, yes, it's us."
Having worked under Manager Li for so long, they knew him best. He was easy to talk to in personal matters, but if the serious work was not done well, he would be merciless.
At this moment, the two of them didn't know what they had done wrong, and they were very nervous.
"During that time, did you ever leave your post?"
The two shook their heads repeatedly: "No, Manager Li, we definitely don't have it!"
The two knew that Manager Li was strict in his work, so they never dared to be careless.
They dozed off, of course, but they didn't actually fall asleep, and they didn't leave the stable.
"Did anything unusual happen during that time? Or did anything happen?"
"Ah, this, this," the two stammered.
Li Yuzhi slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Speak!"
"Yes, there is one thing!" The two were startled and quickly confessed. "At dawn, a rabbit ran towards us, and then we thought of catching it and eating it. Manager Li, I swear, we didn't leave the stable. We stayed nearby. We didn't chase the rabbit after it ran away!"
Li Yuzhi already understood.
Qingcheng was best at catching hares. That rabbit was clearly the bait she had set, and it was at that time that she hid in her father's carriage.
He suddenly remembered that when Qingcheng first came to the mountains, he asked the mountain slaves to secretly monitor her for two months. During those two months, she worked peacefully in the kitchen, and only went to the forest at the foot of the mountain to pick wild fruits during her afternoon break. This was almost the case every day.
Yes, it was like this almost every day. She was not picking wild fruits, but was clearly using the opportunity to find out the defenses in the mountains.
It was precisely because he knew the defenses at the foot of the mountain that he realized he could not escape, so he targeted his father.
Since she came, her father had only come twice. The second time he left, it was when she hid in the carriage and got out. It was obvious that she had figured out that her father's carriage did not need to be checked during the first time.
For seven months, she hadn't behaved abnormally in the mountains. Her patience and meticulousness were so great that even he felt inferior to her.
Mo Qingcheng, it turns out that you have been hiding your abilities all along?
Why are you trying so hard to leave? What did you discover?
Or did you come here with a purpose from the very beginning?
"You two no longer need to guard the stable. From now on, you will go into the mine and mine!"
The two of them begged for mercy: "Manager Li, Manager Li, please let us go this time, we won't dare to do it again!"
Guarding the stable is such an easy job, they don't want to be slaves. Is mining a job for humans?
The two didn't know what had happened. They just felt that Manager Li was too cruel. Wasn't it just chasing a rabbit? Was it necessary to give him such a severe punishment?
Li Yuzhi was furious and shouted angrily, "Get out!"
Then he looked at the other people guarding the stable and said, "You go back too!"
Several people nodded and bowed hurriedly as they left. When they left, they did not forget to drag out the two people who were still trying to beg for mercy.
Li Yuzhi ordered the slave in front of him: "Immediately take your men to Ting'an County and investigate Mo Qingcheng's whereabouts. Once you have any news, send a message to me immediately..."
Every time my father came down the mountain, he would not stop but would walk until dark when he reached Ting'an County, where he would stay the night.
If Mo Qingcheng wanted to leave the carriage, she could only do so when the carriage stopped.
Li Yuzhi was sure of one thing: Mo Qing did not report to the police.
All the influential officials in Xishan are connected to them. She has been on the run for three days now. If she had reported it to the authorities, he would have surely received the news.
"I'll go right away!"
Shan Nu bowed respectfully and was about to leave when Li Yuzhi stopped him again: "If you see Qingcheng, bring her back. Don't hurt her."
"yes!"
