The bell of the court rang leisurely, and the two people who had their own thoughts nodded to each other tacitly, then straightened their clothes together and walked towards the meeting hall.
However, Yan Guan smiled brightly, but Xiangcheng Hou did not notice that in the crowd, a middle-aged official looked at him with a particularly playful look.
Today, it has been almost a month since Xiao Han disappeared.
After such a long time without seeing a living person or a dead body, it is inevitable that people will have some strange thoughts!
Before the earthquake, the Baoxie Road that Xiao Han walked on was repaired by the Ministry of Works and was now able to allow people to pass by.
But since the fat cook was found that day, the search team has not found a living person! Even corpses, only a few have been found.
Originally, the people of the Sixteenth Guards did not look for Bao Shui, because if they fell into Bao Shui during this season, it would be basically the same as entering the Book of Life and Death of the Lord of Hell!
But now, they send people down to search along both sides of the river almost every day. As for what they are looking for, everyone knows in their heart.
The hinterland of Qinling Mountains is where Xiao Han camped on the day of the earthquake.
Covered in dust and with bloodshot eyes, Liu Hongji sat slumped on a boulder that had rolled down from the top of the mountain.
Around him, several soldiers with knives were picking up the gravel and soil on the ground from time to time.
Everyone is covered in dirt, just like the beggar!
They have been in Qinling for who knows how many days, and they have never left since they came in!
So many days have passed, and everyone knows in their hearts: a person without any supplies or any warm clothes has a slim chance of survival in the Qinling Mountains!
But their boss Liu Hongji stubbornly believes that Xiao Han will always have miracles, just like the miracles he brought before!
"Stop fucking looking here. Those grandsons in front have already done it once! Think about it, where can this little bastard Xiao Han go?"
With an irritated roar, Liu Hongji jumped onto the stone and looked far into the distance, hoping to see a little bit of hope.
Several of his soldiers were already exhausted by this time. After hearing this, they immediately threw down the rocks and debris! They all found a place without snow and water and sat down to rest.
Two of them even carefully opened their trouser legs and rubbed the wounds on their feet.
The wounds were not serious. In fact, those who were seriously injured had already been sent out of the Qinling Mountains! Since the heavy snow, people in various search teams have been injured continuously. Some serious ones fell directly into the cliff and were never seen again.
The Qinling Mountains are no different from other places. Not to mention the terrain is dangerous. The snow falling in it will melt wherever it is exposed to the sun. However, the snow on the shady side and in the woods will probably not melt until the beginning of next spring.
Ziyi also fell from a boulder a few days ago and injured her leg. Fortunately, a ranger nearby heard the cry for help and rushed over in time, and sent her to the Xiao family's temporary stronghold in the Qinling Mountains.
Such strongholds were built by Zhang Qiang's people along the way, and many of them were built in the Qinling Mountains! Each one contained various supplies and medicines. The Xiao family said that anyone who came to look for their family master would find everything inside.
Available!
The ranger delivered the purple clothes to the Xiao family, without originally expecting a reward.
As a result, Xue Pan happened to be there for a break that day because of the cold wind. When he saw this person returning Zi Yi safely, he immediately took a hundred gold and silver coins as a gift. The young ranger was so shocked that he almost fainted.
This is how I saved a housekeeper, and I can exchange it for so much money! If I find the rightful owner...
The young ranger could no longer imagine it. He wrapped his belongings in a cloth and slowly wrapped them up. He decided to go home immediately and let his mother hide these things. He would continue to come in and look for that glimmer of opportunity!
The news of saving one person and getting hundreds of lives spread like wildfire.
After hearing this, the Ranger Hunter, who was already a little tired after so many days, became energetic again and rushed into the vast no-man's land, howling as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood.
Sanyuan County, ever since we received the news of Xiao Han's accident, the place suddenly went from vibrant to lifeless!
All the young men in Zhuangzi went to the Qinling Mountains without exception. The remaining old women looked at the entrance of Zhuangzi from time to time, hoping in their hearts that the owner of the village, who had never had any airs, would appear there with a smile.
At the beginning of the lanterns, Butler Lu returned to his home in Sanyuan County from Qinling Mountains with tired steps.
These days, he keeps running in both directions, and the money in his hand is spent like water!
Invite experts into the mountains to provide food and various tools for the ranger hunters. Food, clothing, and housing for more than a hundred people in the Qinling Mountains. Each of these items requires a huge amount of money!
It is only now that outsiders have seen how wealthy Sanyuan County is!
Supporting so much expenses every day is enough to bankrupt a low-class family!
Even a mid-sized family will fall into financial crisis as a result.
But the Xiao family in Sanyuan County! This family with only one clan member, no more, no less, is not even half-hearted! The money spent every day makes many people jealous!
"Squeak..."
After a gritty voice, Butler Lu's door opened.
Chief Cao walked in with a heavy expression, holding a few dishes on the tray.
"How's it going? Is there... any news?"
After closing the door, Director Cao put the food on the table again, and then asked Butler Lu the question he asked every day.
"Hey..." Butler Lu didn't say anything. He just took a look at the food and sighed deeply.
The room fell silent for a moment, Chief Cao pursed his lips, and the expression on his face became more solemn.
After waiting for a long time, he sat next to Butler Lu and said in a stiff tone: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou Ji has his own destiny, and everything will be fine! But there are some things that I can let you know, that is, at home
I've been feeling a little uneasy lately.
Zhang Qiang is not at home, and some people in the northern industrial zone are not at peace. Someone came to me today and told me that he accidentally saw our people whispering to the guys outside, not knowing what they were going to do..."
"Snapped……"
There was a loud noise, but Butler Lu didn't wait for Chief Cao to finish speaking before slamming the table with such force that the dishes on the table seemed to jump!
"Damn things! I don't even think about who took them in and gave them a bite to eat! Lao Cao! Why didn't you just arrest them and beat them to death!"
Butler Lu suddenly stood up and was furious! His originally pale face was immediately stained with an unnatural flush! This was a sign of his extreme anger!
Something has happened to the head of the family now. Instead of searching for him quickly, they have other ideas? If they don't kill this kind of person, why should they wait for the New Year?
"Hey, Lao Lu! Don't get excited yet." Chief Cao saw the angry chest of Butler Lu opposite him, and quickly stood up and pushed him back to his seat.
"Don't worry, I've already asked people to watch these two people! There will definitely be no problem! And I have already started to prevent this kind of thing. Our family is developing too fast, and the staff are all new people. A situation like this is definitely
It’s inevitable! When the Marquis comes back, I’ll leave all these little things to the Marquis to deal with!”
Butler Lu was obviously very angry, his lips were trembling, and he said after a long time: "When the Marquis comes back, I will peel off the skins of these beasts with my own hands and then apologize to the Marquis! It is better to lack than to abuse, and it is better to lack than to abuse, the Marquis has said it so many times
, Lao Lu, I feel unworthy of the Marquis’s trust!”
