After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

Su Xiaomu has almost prepared everything, and the time is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.

It will take several days for Fucheng to return to the village. In order to get home at 28, Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng both decided to leave early tomorrow morning.

But...Su Xiaomu found out that Gu Ruonan was missing.

"I heard that she hasn't come back so late, you told me she was hanging out?"

"Nowadays it's not a festival, and there is a curfew in Fucheng. How can she stay outside for so long as a little girl? And she can also avoid the night watchmen. She is not seen at this time?"

Su Xiaomu stared at Zhao Mu and her face darkened. Even though she was usually gentle and easy to talk, but now she was so scared that she didn't even dare to raise her head to meet her eyes.

"A few days ago...Miss Gu also came back so late a few days ago, maybe today is the same as before, and she will come back after a while."

Zhao Mu knew in his heart that it was really a bit late this time, but he still took chances. He felt that Gu Ruonan was such a smart girl, even if she encountered any danger, she should be able to save it.

Zhao Mu kept finding reasons for herself in her head, but Su Xiaomu only felt uneasy at the moment. She didn't know why she always felt that something bad would happen.

Her heart was thumping in her chest, and the uneasiness lingered around her, which made her have an urge to vomit.

Su Xiaomu forcefully suppressed the discomfort: "Call Zhao Lin, tell him to go to the Yamen to report Gu Jingcheng's name, and say that his sister is lost and can't be found, and ask a few head arresters to help find her, and you..."

Yuan Yi suddenly came to Su Xiaomu's mind. When it comes to collecting information, there should be no one in Fucheng who knows more than a beggar on the street.

Moreover, there are many little beggars in the ruined temple. Whether it is asking them to find someone or helping to find out information, they are faster and better than them.

"You go to Yuan Yi, he has met Gu Ruonan, I will draw a portrait later, you take this and tell him to ask him to help find Ruonan, and ask him by the way, what's going on in Fucheng recently occur."

Su Xiaomu has been preoccupied with the New Year's affairs in the past few days, and doesn't know much about other things.

"Yes."

Seeing Su Xiaomu's seriousness and seriousness, Zhao Mu followed suit, and he couldn't deceive himself any more.

Now he only hoped that nothing happened to Gu Ruonan, otherwise he would be guilty of everything!
Su Xiaomu arranged for everyone, and she waited for the news by herself at home.

She didn't intend to tell anyone about this matter. After all, Gu Ruonan is the family of Gu Jingcheng and Gu Feng, one is a niece and the other is a daughter. If something really happened, the two of them must be deeply saddened.

So... Su Xiaomu hoped that Gu Ruonan was really just like what Zhao Mu said, because he forgot the time for a while.

Zhao Lin quickly found the head arrester, and by the way brought Su Xiaomu a desperate news that she expected.

"The people in the yamen said that the city is in chaos recently. Two days ago, a group of thieves entered the city while it was snowing, and took advantage of the time when the yamen in front was giving out porridge and opened the city gate to help the people, and robbed a group of people out of the city. , They seem to be here again today..."

"What do you mean?" Su Xiaomu's eyes widened in shock, and he said in disbelief, "Is it possible that Ruonan is among those who were robbed?"

"I'm not sure now, but before us, quite a few people went to the Yamen to say that someone was missing from their home, and the headhunter said that even if we don't look for them, they will start looking for someone today."

When Zhao Lin said this, his face was extremely ugly.

Because he knew that Su Xiaomu had entrusted Miss Gu to his younger brother, and if she was really lost this time, all the crimes would be on Zhao Mu alone.

He...why couldn't he...be lost together with her?

Such dark thoughts flashed through Zhao Lin's mind for a moment, but when he raised his head and looked at Su Xiaomu, he suppressed all such thoughts.

"Although they want to find someone, we can't be idle. You tell Zhao Mu to let him lead someone, and we will go find them with the head catcher."

Su Xiaomu said he was right, and immediately called for people to go to Gu Ruonan together.

Yuan Yi took the active beggars in the ruined temple and followed him to find someone in the city.

"After getting better these days, everyone began to beg along the street one after another. Many people found the thieves. They took a lot of heavy things to the east mountain this afternoon. If they really lost If there are many people, it is very likely that those people were packed in those heavy boxes."

Yuan Yi was a clever young man, and he wanted to repay Su Xiaomu's favor, so he obeyed her order and solved it for her.

After receiving her order, they sent someone to investigate the thief's whereabouts clearly.

Who told them that these people have no other skills, but are good at being ignored by others.

After all, who would notice a beggar begging on the side of the road, or after the catastrophe, there are refugees everywhere?
Yes, although their prefectural city was not seriously damaged in the snowstorm, but who said that the surrounding counties were seriously damaged, and they all came to them to take refuge?

With this coming and going, wouldn't there be more refugees?

"East..." Su Xiaomu thought about the place in his heart, and immediately told Zhao Lin after getting some impressions in his head, "Tell Liu the news and ask him to take people to search the mountains with us."

"However, the source of the news has not yet been fully confirmed, and the search for the mountain requires a large number of people, and the number of people in Liu Butou's hands is not enough. We still have to report this matter to the county magistrate and let him arrange talents. yes."

Zhao Lin frowned, he felt that Su Xiaomu was a little too anxious and lost his sense: "Shall we go and find the county magistrate?"

"County magistrate... It's so late now, it's not something we can find if we want."

With a dark face, Su Xiaomu paced around in a hurry.

She kept building her mind. It was useless to be anxious. If she wanted to solve the problem, she still had to find a way.

Now there is no way to continue to hide it from Gu Jingcheng. With her status, she can't go to the Yamen to find the county magistrate at such a late hour, so Gu Jingcheng should be invited to come forward.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaomu asked Zhao Mu and Zhao Lin to take the beggars brought by Yuan Yi to the dessert shop to rest.

If they didn't eat at night, they would prepare hot water and charcoal to drive them away from the cold.

She left alone to report the bad news to Gu Jingcheng.

in the study.

Gu Jingcheng was sitting by the bed, it was already winter, and the wind was bitterly cold, every wind that blew past him would make his hair stand on end, his brows and eyes slightly wrinkled.

But he didn't seem to feel it, or he wasn't afraid of the cold, so he was very safe by the window.
