In the front hall, two elderly people sitting at the upper seats were looking outside anxiously.
"Why haven't you come yet?"
"Cheng Ze, go and take a look."
"Oh, Dad, don't worry. Didn't Butler Yang go and respond?"
"Hey, are you here?"
“So similar…”
Shen Qing stepped into the front hall, walked to the middle and knelt down.
“Shen Qing is unfilial. He took so long to come visit grandparents.”
Madam Cheng hurried over and helped Shen Qing up herself, holding her hand, tears in her eyes and her lips trembling slightly.
"Qingqing, you have suffered."
"Grandma, don't be miserable."
Shen Qing didn't know why, but her heart was also sour, and her eyes were unconsciously moist.
"Okay, it's good that you're back. You won't suffer anymore." Old Master Cheng also quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Come, Qingqing." Old Madam Cheng took Shen Qing and began to introduce her, "This is your uncle and aunt, and this is your second uncle and second aunt..."
While Shen Qing and the Cheng family were in love with each other, Jiang Zhuo's side was not going well.
He took Changfeng and stared at the tea stall near the Qin family's old house for a long time, but didn't see anyone. He asked people nearby, and they said that the door of the Qin family's house had not been opened for half a year.
"Sir, could it be that our inference was wrong and that the goods were never delivered here?"
The old houses of noble families usually have people sent to clean them regularly. Qin Canghai loves cleanliness and always changes his clothes every day. He is not a person who forgets his roots, so it is natural that he would send someone to clean the Qin family's old house.
The fact that no one has entered the Qin family's old house for half a year further demonstrates their abnormality.
"What's unusual in Qingzhou recently?"
"I've inquired. Children have been disappearing in Qingzhou City for the past six months. The Qingzhou authorities have been investigating, but they haven't found any leads."
"Half a year?" Jiang Zhuo's eyes turned cold. "I'll meet the Qingzhou County Magistrate to reminisce at the Qingzhou Restaurant tomorrow at noon."
"yes."
Wu Qiaoling was leisurely drinking tea and listening to music when he suddenly received an invitation from the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple in the capital. He was so scared that his head almost fell off.
So when he arrived at Qingzhou Restaurant the next day, his face was pale and his eyes were dark blue.
"County Magistrate Wu doesn't look well, as if... he's been indulging in excessive sexual activity." Jiang Zhuo glanced at Wu Qiaoling, who had been shaking and wiping his sweat since he stepped through the door.
"No, no, no, I dare not, I dare not!"
"Are you scared?" Jiang Zhuo gently shook the teacup in his hand, and the fragrance of tea filled the air.
Wu Qiaoling shook his head vigorously, then nodded, and shook his head again.
"Heh." Jiang Zhuo chuckled, "Don't be afraid. I'm here mainly to visit my relatives."
"Is that so? Hahahaha." Although I have never heard that the Jiang family has any relatives here, but since he said he wanted to visit relatives, then let's do it.
"But I heard something absurd, County Magistrate Wu, would you like to hear it?"
County Magistrate Wu shook his head vigorously again.
"Um?"
Nodding vigorously.
"I heard that children have been disappearing in Qingzhou for the past six months, and the government has been unable to catch the murderer and has not reported it to the capital. Don't you think it's absurd?"
Jiang Zhuo looked at Wu Qiaoling, who quickly knelt down and began to beg for mercy.
"Please spare my life, sir! I have tried my best, but those thieves are just too cunning!"
"And those human traffickers have stopped recently, so..."
He stopped, either because he had caught enough or because he was preparing a bigger conspiracy.
This idiot!
"Within two hours, find all the files on missing children and send them to me, otherwise..."
"Ah yes yes!"
Wu Qiaoling crawled to his feet and staggered out to look for the files.
"This bastard official!" Changfeng cursed. "But sir, are we not going to investigate the Qin family's old house anymore?"
"Check everything."
Now that we have come to Qingzhou, there is no reason to ignore the case.
Capital city, Shangshu Mansion.
Bai Runyi was humming a little tune while embroidering a handkerchief with a jasmine pattern, which she planned to give to Chen Qing.
"Here comes my lover on his bamboo horse..."
"Bang!"
Bai Runyi's singing suddenly stopped. She looked at the man in white standing by the window, covered in blood. Her first reaction was not fear, but...
Why did everyone like to climb through her window covered in blood?
She wanted to see if there was a "Clinic" sign hanging outside her window!
The man was breathing heavily and sweating profusely. His left arm was obviously unable to move, and he could only rely on his right hand to hold on to the windowsill and slowly stand up.
"Don't be afraid, young lady. I'm Wen Xingzhi from Qianji Villa. I was ambushed by a villain while on a business trip... I had no choice but to climb over the nearby wall to get in. I apologize for offending you... Once I'm out of this predicament, I'll make a huge apology to thank you for your forgiveness."
Wen Xingzhi endured the pain and finished speaking in a gentle tone.
"I'm not afraid, but where are you hurt?" Bai Runyi walked over and checked with a frown.
When I got closer, I found that there was a broken arrow on his left shoulder and his white clothes were covered in blood.
"ah!"
Bai Runyi's eyes went dark again.
"I'm sorry for scaring you, young lady." Wen Xingzhi turned sideways to hide his wound and spoke softly, "I'll leave after the next cup of tea."
Wouldn't he be caught if he left now? Even if he wasn't caught, in his current state, it would be hard for him to survive until tomorrow!
"If you trust me, let me treat your wound first."
It's not like I don't have experience.
Moreover, having said that, this man is not inferior to Murong Zhi in appearance! It is not difficult to imagine him dressed in white, looking elegant.
