"Ah! Did I delay Mr. Wang's business?" Geng Xiaofan quickly got up. He had such a big emergency, but he was dragging them here to chat.

"It doesn't matter. Over the past year, there have been a lot of news like this, and every time it disappoints people. We have already arranged for someone to look for it, just wait and see!"

"Oh! Mr. Wang, can you tell me about your daughter's situation?" Geng Xiaofan could completely imagine how Wang Xian came here this year. He couldn't help much, so it would be good to chat with him.

"My little girl has been weak and sick since she was a child. She went to many doctors, but they only prescribed some decoctions to regulate her spleen and stomach, and advised her to go out and walk more. However, my little girl is withdrawn and likes to be quiet and does not like to move, so her body is getting weaker and weaker." Wang Xian sighed.

"Last spring, a cousin of hers came to visit the house and stayed for a few days. The two of them had a harmonious relationship and talked happily. I took the opportunity to arrange for someone to take them out for an outing. Unexpectedly, the little girl disappeared mysteriously.

No news."

"How can a living person be lost so easily?" Geng Xiaofan was puzzled.

"It's my fault too, for letting them go to a place that is too far away and too remote." Wang Xian couldn't help but blame himself.

"Where have you gone?"

"Yichun Garden in the south of the city!"

"Oh, what happened then? Is the young lady the only one missing?" Geng Xiaofan didn't know where Yichun Garden was, but according to Wang Xian, it should be a "park" far away from the city.

"Only the little girl is missing. The servant came back and said that there were not many tourists on the outing at that time, and nothing special happened. It was just that King Dingtao led people to hunt in the field. The little girl seemed to be frightened, but it was nothing serious. Let's have dinner in the evening

At that time, she was fine, but who would have expected that the next morning, she would not be seen alive or dead! People spread the news that the little girl was struck by evil spirits!"

"Master, who was accompanying the young lady when she went out? Let me see you and see what happened to the young lady!" Geng Xiaofan became a little curious. This was another "disappearance case"!

"Her cousin lives in Hongnong. I'm afraid she won't be able to come for a while, so I asked Lan'er to come over. You can ask, she was with her all the time." Wang Xian sent someone to call the young lady's maid.

After a while, a little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old came in.

"Are you Lan'er? How long have you been following the lady?" Geng Xiaofan began to ask gently.

"I have been following the young lady since I was a child, and it has been almost ten years." Lan'er replied cautiously.

"It seems that you are very popular with Miss. What does Miss usually like to do?" Geng Xiaofan also guided and asked carefully.

"On weekdays, young lady just grows flowers and reads some books. She doesn't have any other special hobbies."

"How is Miss's daily diet?"

"My lady has always had a bad spleen and stomach. She doesn't eat much, but she likes to drink some tea."

"Oh, do you remember where we went last time?" Geng Xiaofan finished laying the groundwork and got to the point, but he forgot the outing location Wang Xiangang mentioned.

"Yichun Garden!" Wang Xian reminded.

"Yes, yes, yes! What is that place?" Geng Xiaofan asked curiously.

"It was a garden built by Emperor Xiaowu. It has a large water surface and a quiet environment, but it is a little far from the city." Wang Xian explained.

"Oh, Lan'er, please tell me what happened that day from beginning to end." Geng Xiaofan turned around and asked Lan'er again.

"Early that morning, my lady and cousin and I took a carriage and rushed to the south of the city. Along the way, the two ladies were very happy, talking and laughing, and nothing special happened. At noon, we arrived at the lake and walked along the

After walking around the lake, we picked a lot of flowers and mushrooms, and then we made a fire to cook. After dinner, my cousin was in a good mood, so she insisted on taking her to play on the plain. While walking through the woods

, met King Dingtao and his party, they were hunting."

"Hunting? How many people are there?" Geng Xiaofan couldn't help but interrupt Lan'er.

"It's King Dingtao and his men, about twenty people, all riding horses and leading hounds."

"Did those hunting dogs scare the young lady?" Geng Xiaofan guessed. He had watched hunting in costume dramas on TV, but he didn't know how different it was from "reality".

"That's right! A little fox was shot by an arrow and suddenly ran to the lady. The hound behind it pounced on it and killed the fox. The lady was so frightened that her face turned pale and she couldn't speak for a long time."

"Oh, what happened next?" Geng Xiaofan could imagine that kind of "bloody" scene. If a "minor" saw it, especially a little girl who stayed home all day, he would definitely be frightened.

"Then we hurried back to the camp."

"Have you not had any contact with King Dingtao?"

"No, the hound killed the little fox and carried it away. King Dingtao's people were far away. However, at night, we lived in the same inn." Although Lan'er is young, she is articulate.

He was smart and explained the situation very clearly.

"Evening? Where are you staying tonight?" Geng Xiaofan knew that he was getting to the point.

"Originally we were going back that day, but the lady was frightened, so we comforted her for a long time, which was delayed, so we had to stay at Duling Post Station. It started to rain lightly in the evening, and King Dingtao and his party also went to the Post Station to take shelter.

There were so many people and the house was not enough to live in, so we made room for them."

Geng Xiaofan frowned. It seemed that Miss Wang’s disappearance must be related to King Dingtao!

"Have you met King Dingtao? Or his servants?"

"No, definitely not. The young lady was frightened and was not in a high mood. She went to bed early after dinner and we did not disturb her." Lan'er was sure.

"Have you been staying with Miss all night?"

"Well, I stayed with you all the time, but, I don't know if it was because I was too tired or what happened. I slept too deeply at night and didn't hear anything. The next day, when I woke up, the lady was gone.

." Lan'er was timid when she said this.

"What did you do after you found out that the lady was missing?"

"We immediately split up to look for him, and also went to King Dingtao to ask, but they all said we hadn't seen him. We didn't dare to push too hard, so we had to come back and report to the master." After Lan'er finished speaking, she glanced at Wang Xian secretly.

"Afterwards, I paid a special visit to King Dingtao. It is true that he had never seen the little girl. I also asked his servants but he didn't pay any attention to her." Wang Xian quickly added.

"Besides the fact that the lady is missing, is there anything else missing? Are there any of the lady's clothes or belongings missing?"

"No, the lady's coat is still there. She seems to have disappeared out of thin air in her sleep! She, she couldn't really have been taken away by the fox demon!" Lan'er's voice was trembling.

"Don't talk nonsense, there is no such thing as a fox demon!" Geng Xiaofan stopped Lan'er, but also fell into deep thought.

If what they said is true, this would be so strange. How could a young lady who never goes out all year long disappear out of thin air for no reason? There must be something wrong!
