Chapter 274 Blocking the city gate
Seeing that her husband was about to refute something, Xiao Yi on the side hurriedly said: "I think we really need to come forward to talk about this matter, master, do you think so?"

In fact, although the county magistrate of Shangshan County had never met the couple, he had sent a letter to them as early as last year to inquire.

The two of them, the left and right, have already shown their faces in Qi Nan Mansion, there is no need to hide and hide, it is better to settle this matter as soon as possible.

Wei Lingyi accepted it as soon as he saw it, and hurriedly bowed his hands to Xiao Yi when he saw this:

"In this case, I would like to thank my mother, and I would like to ask my mother to send someone to the Qinan Prefecture government office to report. I am also familiar with the people around the girl, and I will go down to see what is going on."

Immediately afterwards, he looked towards his subordinates outside the door and said, "Take me to the place where you saw those women just now."

What happened still needs to be heard from the person involved to understand, maybe he can find some clues when he goes down.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Xiao Yi hurriedly said:
"Ling'er, don't worry so much. Didn't they just say that they haven't searched for the riverside? What if the girl went to the riverside or nearby shops?"

Wei Lingyi paused when he walked out of the room, and then said: "Mother, I know her well, she won't be like this, she hasn't appeared for so long, there is only one possibility."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Xiao Yi and Wei Ting, and strode down the stairs. Ping An, who was guarding the bottom of the stairs, saw his master coming down like this, and hurriedly greeted him:

"Master, where are we going?"

"Find someone!"

"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? Master, are you not staying with Master and Madam?"

Wei Lingyi glanced back at Ping An, and then said: "She lost it, they didn't do it."

lost?Who lost it?

she?he?Didn't they move their hands?
Ping'an was a little confused, and then seeing his master's annoyed expression, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and then he was shocked: "Master, you mean, Miss Yin is missing?"

Wei Lingyi didn't answer, but as Ping An who had been with Wei Lingyi for many years, he already knew the answer.

The two masters and servants walked towards the middle street quickly. On the way, they saw several families crying and crying for their missing girls.

Wei Lingyi's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and his heart kept sinking.

When he saw the women following the yamen servants, Ping An's eyes lit up, and he pointed to Gu Yunliu who was not wearing a hat and said, "Look, master, that woman without a hat on her head seems to be from Baijia Village. of."

Without Ping An's reminder, Wei Lingyi had already noticed those people.

Although he is not very familiar with Gu Yunliu, he has met him several times.Knowing that she has always been doing odd jobs by Yin Ziying's side, Yin Ziying values ​​her very much, and her identity is the same as Yin Ziying's, a woman who has divorced.

He walked forward quickly, and just as he was about to speak, Yin Jingjing, who was wearing a veiled hat, recognized him: "Boss Wu, is that you?"

Yin Jingjing looked pleasantly surprised, at this moment he couldn't care less about whether there was a hat or not, and finding his eldest sister was the top priority.

She lifted the veiled cap on her head and said to Wei Lingyi: "Dong Wu's family, my eldest sister is lost..."

She wanted to say something more, but Wei Lingyi nodded directly: "Tell me about the specific matter."

Seeing that Wei Lingyi was really willing to take care of her, Yin Jingjing was so happy, she pulled Gu Yunliu and her two younger sisters to tell what happened just now.

Finally she said: "Wu Dong's family, do you think it's Pai Huazi? Not only my eldest sister is lost, but also sister Xuan is lost. Before we came, I heard that Pai Huazi loves to catch young girls the most. with the child."

Wei Lingyi frowned: "So, the incident was all caused by watching juggling?"

"Yes! It's just to watch the sideshows. When we went, those people were just that day, and we were glad that we got into the front row to watch! My eldest sister and sister Xuan were also in the front row."

"Did you hear any strange noises after the crowd rioted?"

Gu Yunliu shook his head regretfully: "Boss Wu, it's not that we didn't hear it, but we heard too much. You also know that today is the Qiqiao Festival, the festival with the most women and children.

Many of the people we watched were young women. When encountering such a thing, everyone was the first to suffer from panic, so there were screams and cries all around at that time.

We only thought that the people around us were frightened, and we kept in mind what Ziying said to keep us going, so we didn't want to look back. "

Wei Lingyi's complexion darkened a little:
"After you came out and went back to search, you didn't see your eldest sister and sister Xuan? What about the lost people around, where were they standing at that time? How many people have been lost so far? They are all women and Children?"

He asked these words and before Gu Yunliu had time to answer, he heard a voice beside him saying:

"At present, three little girls and five young women have been found missing, and the rest of the crowd is not missing. Most of the missing people were standing there watching the juggling troupe.

We preliminarily determined that the perpetrator was probably Pai Hanako. Pai Hanako originally wanted to take advantage of the crowd and kidnap a few people from behind. Later, when he found out that the juggling troupe was in trouble, he went back and kidnapped the girls who were too late to run away. "

Wei Lingyi looked at the person who came, he was in his early twenties, wearing the clothes of a government servant.

And while answering him, he was also comforting Gu Yunliu and Yin Jingjing with his eyes, as if they knew each other.

Seeing Wei Lingyi's doubts, Gu Yunliu hurriedly said: "Wu Dong's family, this is Yan Feng, a servant of the county government, and also the younger brother of the lady in charge of the Mingyue Inn where we live."

"Well!"

Wei Lingyi was noncommittal.

On the contrary, Yan Feng looked at him warily, and then asked Gu Yunliu and the others: "Miss Gu, this is..."

"Oh! Officer, this is Mr. Wu's family. He is an old acquaintance with us. He does business with our village and is also my sister's friend."

It turned out to be the case.

Yan Feng nodded, then looked at Gu Yunliu and said:
"Miss Gu, don't worry, we are already investigating the case initially, and we are also searching for places around here where people can hide. Your sister will be found soon."

Hearing Yan Feng's arrangement, Wei Lingyi frowned and said, "Is the city gate blocked?"

Yan Feng glanced at Wei Lingyi in surprise: "This...Mr. Wu, today is the Qiqiao Festival, and many people are from nearby towns. We definitely can't seal the city gate at this time."

"If you don't block the city gate, what if Pai Huazi leaves?"

"It turns out that Mr. Wu is worried about this issue, but this Mr. Wu doesn't need to worry. Although our city gate is not blocked, we have sent more people to guard it. It is expected that those flamboyants will not leave the city at this time."

Wei Lingyi frowned tightly, and said in a cold voice, "The gates of the city must be sealed, and then search from house to house throughout the night, not to miss any place or house in the city."

He had been in charge of Cuixian Tower for many years and was used to ordering people around. Now when he said it in a cold tone, he naturally had an orderly attitude.
