"Hear it? Where did you hear it from?" Mo Shanrui asked hurriedly.
"Deep in the mountains!"
"Deep in the mountains?"
"Yes, that's right. It was in the deep mountains. A few days ago, I went into the mountains to hunt and overheard it by accident."
Then, Jian Xiu told him everything he had heard that day.
"You mean, they have already called themselves the young marquis?" Mo Shanrui asked again.
"Well, they even said that they would kill him after finding him." Jian Xiu said truthfully.
After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and continued:
"Of course, this is just my personal opinion. This is what I heard. In fact, I'm not sure whether it is true or not."
The meaning of this statement is very clear, that is, no matter what the result is, it has nothing to do with her, Jian Xiu.
With her current strength, she is really not suitable to participate in the struggles of these noble families.
"Don't worry, Miss Jian. This matter has nothing to do with you. I can assure you that not a single word you said today will be leaked."
Mo Shanrui quickly assured.
Just kidding, he checked so many things and it was rare to find such a clue.
Besides, as the county magistrate of Quanyong County, he has the responsibility to protect every villager here, doesn't he?
Thinking of this, Mo Shanrui said to Jian Xiu again:
"Don't worry, your purpose in coming here is just to teach Master Liu how to sketch."
"Well, thank you Mo Da for planning this for me." Jian Xiu said sincerely.
"No, this is just the duty of an official. I will do my best to protect anyone in Quanyong County!" Mo Shanrui said firmly.
"Is it because of this that Mr. Mo is so concerned about the missing case many years ago?" Jian Xiu asked curiously.
She was really curious. In her opinion, no matter which country it was, there would be a lot of children missing every time.
It's already a very common thing.
But she had never seen anyone who cared so much.
But she never thought that she would meet such a good county magistrate.
Thinking of this, Mo Shanrui felt inexplicably noble in her heart.
Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking.
Then he saw Mo Tianrui showing an awkward smile.
"Miss Jian thinks too highly of the official. To be honest, this time, it was because of the pressure from above that the official was so anxious."
Jian Xiu: “…”
As soon as these words came out, Master Ruan at the side could no longer listen and quickly explained:
"You are wrong, Master. Even without the pressure from the Marquis's Mansion, you have never given up on this case, right?"
Hearing this, Jian Xiu immediately understood.
But after hearing what Master Ruan said, his brows subconsciously frowned again.
He asked Master Ruan, "Master Ruan, do you mean to ask if this Liang Lai is also from the Marquis' Mansion?"
"Yes, because it was Liang Lai who carried her out."
"Who in the Marquis's Mansion carried him out?"
"These are still unclear now. We can only know everything after Liang Lai is arrested." Master Ruan said truthfully.
"If that's the case, then this Liang Lai will most likely be silenced."
Hearing this, Mo Shanrui looked at Jian Xiu fiercely.
He really didn't expect to hear such incisive words from a country woman.
He himself thought so, so he was so anxious to find this thing.
"Master, instead of always looking for this Liang Lai, why don't you change your thinking?"
"What change of thinking?" Mo Shanrui asked, sitting up straight.
This action was all subconscious.
It was as if a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in his heart when he saw Jian Xiu giving them suggestions.
Not to mention Mo Shanrui, even Master Ruan is the same.
His eyes were fixed on Jian Xiu.
Seeing this, Jian Xiu did not panic, but said calmly:
"Mr. Mo, Master Ruan, instead of looking for a needle in a haystack, why not spend some time to count the population of all Yong County?"
"Why do we need to count the population of Quanyong County?" Mo Shanrui murmured.
"Master, you don't understand this, right? Of course, we need to see which children in Quanyong County were picked up by the emperor."
"Since the young marquis was lost in Quanyong County, which village is the closest? Then you can visit it secretly..."
"Now that twenty years have passed, the young marquis should be about twenty-one or twenty-two, right? Then we should select all the children of this age group and see how many there are in total, and then slowly narrow down the scope..."
Then Jian Xiu listed out the operations one by one according to the scope.
"If you just follow this method and slowly narrow down the scope, wouldn't it be easier than looking for Liang Lai?"
Sure enough, after hearing this, Mo Shanrui suddenly understood everything.
"Yes, why didn't the official think of it?" Mo Shanrui murmured.
"It's not entirely unreasonable that those involved are confused while those who are watching can see clearly. Besides, we don't know whether Liang Lai is dead or alive. If we find a body, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"
The more she talked, the more uneasy Jian Xiu felt.
Because if calculated according to this time, Zhang Zixuan is also within this range.
From the moment she first saw Zhang Zixuan, Jian Xiu felt that he didn't look like someone from the countryside.
But this is just my own guess.
If you want to confirm it, there is a way.
Just ask Old Man Zhang and Old Mrs. Liu, and you’ll know the answer in no time.
As for those two, as long as she pressed them a little, she wasn't really afraid that they wouldn't tell the truth.
Thinking of this, Jian Xiu couldn't wait to go back.
I guess the old house must be in chaos by now, right?
After coming out of the county government office, Jian Xiu went directly to the Hetang.
그和堂 is still crowded with customers as always.
That’s right, it’s the largest herbal medicine shop in the whole of Quanyong County.
Not only does the herbal medicine shop there not contain any adulteration, but it also has the most complete range of herbs in the entire county.
"Hey, Miss Jian, I haven't seen you for a long time."
The shopkeeper Qin Xuancheng happened to be outside. When he saw Jian Xiu, he smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.
Because every time Jian Xiu came, she would always bring some good things to their family and friends, no more, no less.
"Manager Qin, you're joking. You were busy recently. So you came here as soon as you had time." Jian Xiu said with a smile.
After traveling through time for such a long time, she didn't learn anything else, but she was very accurate in flattery, like a smiling tiger.
"Hurry, hurry, come in and tell me, come in and tell me!" Shopkeeper Qin pointed in the direction of the backyard and said to Jian Xiu.
