It turned out that the young man's mother was seriously ill and asked the girl for help. The girl sold some jewelry and gave him the money, urging him to hurry up and get medicine for his mother.
The girl's identity seemed to be revealed during the words.
The young man called her "Second Miss".
The relationship between the two is like master and servant.
After explaining all these things one by one, the clerk said: "When the official came to inquire yesterday, the villain did not mention these. He was thinking that since it was a case reported by Yong'an Bo's Mansion, and that person was also a book boy of Yong'an Bo's Mansion, he wanted to come here
That girl must be from the uncle's house."
Since the uncle's house has never told anyone about the disappearance of the girl in the house, if he talks too much with the officials, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for the tea house.
They use the teahouse as a cover and live here for a long time. The first thing they need to do is to be cautious, not to make anything public, and to try not to attract anyone's attention.
As for the whereabouts of the girl - he has already roughly given the clues, and has not completely concealed the fact that he saw the young man here. Whether he can find the young man can only depend on the methods and luck of the government and the uncle.
.
"And... the villain overheard half of it, and saw a man in black suddenly appear. The man obviously had some skills. The villain was afraid of being discovered by him, so he didn't dare to stay any longer."
The waiter said: "The villain took a look before he left. The man in black seemed to have knocked the girl unconscious..."
The identity of the man in black was unknown, and after many days, he could not explain why he did not report it to the official when he saw the man in black hurting someone. Therefore, he did not inform the official about what he saw.
He only told the official that he had seen the young man the official was looking for and the little girl in the bamboo forest.
"Can you clearly see the face of the man in black?" Wu Chao asked.
The guy shook his head.
"The villain didn't have time to take a closer look at it, but he could only roughly see that he was tall and large. Judging from his stature, he should be a middle-aged man."
"Is there anything else missing?"
"Back to the young master, I have explained everything I saw and knew."
Wu Chao nodded: "I understand, you can go down."
"yes."
"Everyone in this teahouse has rules to abide by, so I couldn't tell the truth in time. Please don't blame Miss Xu." Wu Chao looked at Xu Mingyi and said.
Xu Mingyi shook his head slightly.
"I am very grateful to have received this clue today."
Each has a different identity, and it is neither possible nor necessary to judge whether the clerk's actions are right or wrong.
At least it is now certain that Qing's cousin's disappearance is indeed related to Qi Lin.
According to what Mrs. Yong'an Bo Shizi said that day, Qi Lin's mother had passed away on the day Qing's cousin disappeared, but Qi Lin did not explain this to the outside world——
But the waiter just now said that cousin Qing sold the jewelry to treat Qi Lin's mother.
It can be seen that Qi Lin used this as an excuse to deliberately trick Cousin Qing into coming here.
Then the man in black appeared and attacked Qing's cousin——
All this was obviously premeditated.
"I wonder if I can borrow my third eye from Mr. Wu?" Xu Mingyi looked at the young man in front of him.
Wu Chao nodded.
It's rare that this stupid bird is still useful.
"It is in the backyard of the teahouse right now. If Miss Xu wants to use it, she can just take it away."
In order to prevent Miss Xu from not believing his words and to prove his innocence, he brought the instigator with him when he came.
"Then thank you so much, Mr. Wu."
As Xu Mingyi spoke, he stood up and bowed slightly to Wu Chao.
"Miss Xu wants to take her third eye to trace the origin of this hairpin?" Seeing her about to leave, Wu Chao suddenly asked.
"Exactly."
If you can really find something along this hairpin, it will be a great gain.
The situation is unclear at the moment, so in order to avoid alerting others, it is not advisable to alert too many people.
Of course, she only went to get a general idea first. If there was really a danger, she would not be brave enough to go in-depth inquiry.
Wu Chao glanced at the darkening sky outside the window.
"I'll go with Miss Xu."
Xu Mingyi was startled when he heard this.
Seeing her reaction, Wu Chao said seriously: "After all, Miss Xu has not been with the Tianmu for a long time. I'm afraid it will be difficult for it to understand the girl's meaning. To prevent things from happening, it's better for me to keep an eye on it myself."
Help people to help to the end. It seems that there is something fishy about the disappearance of the girl from Yong'an House. If something happens to the overly bold Miss Xu, it will be a big deal for the Zhenguo Duke's office to blame him again.
trouble.
What's more, to be fair, Miss Xu is indeed an excellent partner.
When Xu Mingyi heard this, he no longer hesitated: "Thank you Mr. Wu for your generous help."
Righteous?
Wu Chao raised his eyebrows.
Why do you think this word is used strangely on him?
"Let's go."
Now that it was time to get down to business, the young man didn't bother to look into anything, so he stood up and strode downstairs.
Ah Zhu lifted the food box he brought on the table.
Don’t forget the snacks that the girl brought to Princess Yufeng.
After leaving the teahouse, in order to avoid attracting attention, Wu Chao first left on horseback with Tianmu, and Xu Mingyi followed closely in the carriage.
Gao Fei's Tianmu, who was leading the way, had no intention of stopping in the city, but flew all the way towards the city gate.
Looking at the city gate in front of him, Wu Chao had something to worry about.
It seems that the third eye is the hairpin found outside the city.
It was now time to close the city gates, and there were almost no people coming and going around.
Considering that once he left the city, he would not be able to come back tonight, Wu Chi stopped his horse and waited for Xu Mingyi's carriage to catch up. He whispered through the curtain: "The clue should be outside the city. It's better to wait until tomorrow."
check."
It was no big deal for him to stay outside the city for a night as a man, but it was different for her as a girl.
"It doesn't matter."
A girl's voice came from inside the car without hesitation, and she told the driver: "Uncle Zhong, let Ah Zhu drive the car. You go back to the mansion and report the news. Just say that I will stay at the princess's mansion tonight and will not go back."
"yes."
Wu Chao looked quite surprised when he saw the coachman getting off the carriage neatly and leaving without looking back.
Faced with the fact that his own girl is about to stay out all night, and she is telling lies with confidence, how can he still obey without changing his expression?
Are all the servants of Zhenguo Palace so cheerful and unusual?
The next moment, when he saw the maid coming out of the carriage, she had changed into a servant's attire at some point, and the young man was shocked again.
Miss Xu actually always keeps men's clothes in her carriage?
Seeing the maid dressed as a servant skillfully driving up the carriage and raising a puff of fine dust, the young man was silent for a moment and followed.
Several people managed to get out of the city before the city gate closed.
Twenty miles out of the city, Tianmu suddenly changed direction and flew towards a dense forest beside the trail.
Wu Chi stopped his horse and looked at the dark forest and the big bird circling above the dense forest.
It looks like this is it.
If Tianmu continued to fly like this, he would even suspect that this stupid bird had some faulty tendons and was going to take him all the way back to Ningyang.
The young man got off his horse and walked towards the forest.
Xu Mingyi, who followed closely, also got off the carriage.
