"Ji Ying," Li Yan seemed to have learned something from the conversation between Xu Zun and others. He hurriedly pulled Xu Zun aside and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

"Do you think that Miss Lu is hidden in Qinglan Academy?"

"No..." Xu Zun shook his head, "No. I just know that there are still people in Qinglan Academy who understand the inside story, so I handed over this blue book to us.

"As for whether Miss Lu is in the academy or not, that's another matter!"

"Miss Lu Nian Fang's sixteenth," Yuan Xingtai analyzed, "and the group of thieves mentioned by Captain Ju just now only tied up girls aged 9 to 14. Now it seems that the age limit has to be changed to 16, right?"

"But..." Zhao Yu expressed his opinion, "If Miss Lu is also missing, why isn't this book displayed?"

"Catcher Ju," Xu Zun asked Ju Ran, "Have you done an in-depth investigation on those missing cases? Do those missing girls have any common characteristics?"

"Yes, yes, for example..." Zhao Yu added, "Did all those girls study at Qinglan Academy?"

oh?

Zhao Yu's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"No, no," Ju Ran waved his hand quickly, "Those girls have different families, and some of them are relatively poor. How can they afford to go to Qinglan Academy?"

"Yes...yes," Taemin added, "It seems that among the girls here, only Lu Xiaofeng has been to Qinglan Academy."

"Qinglan Academy..." Yuan Xingtai muttered silently, "That was founded by the old lady of the Hou Mansion, we can't move."

"What about that?" Xu Zun asked again, "Is there anything else in common?"

"The family background and age are different, it seems..." Ju Ran said, "There is nothing in common, right?

"Oh, by the way, Xu Tixing," he remembered something and quickly added, "If Fei said that he had anything in common, it was that these missing girls were all very beautiful!"

oh?

pretty?

Are they all beautiful girls?

It won't...

When Xu Zun thought of the beautiful girl, he thought of some evil things unnaturally, and he couldn't help but worry about these missing girls.

According to Xu Zun, there were indeed some human traffickers who trafficked women and children in the Daxuan Dynasty, but the number was extremely limited.

Because human traffickers cannot buy and sell in one area, they need to be transferred frequently on a large scale.

In ancient times, transportation was underdeveloped, and human traffickers required long journeys, and the cost of picking was too high.

Moreover, the prefectures and counties are strictly controlled. If you take a group of children through the prefectures, the probability of being caught is high and it is not worth taking risks.

In addition, even if there is a real human trafficker, it will at most sell babies and children, and it will not sell older children, because older children are already sensible and will increase the risk of exposure.

Finally, there is a more critical point, that is, the feudal dynasty has low lives and people trafficking cannot make money.

Therefore, the 17 disappearances of girls in Shangyuan City are obviously extraordinary.

You know, there are only 17 cases recorded on the blue leather notebook, but who can guarantee that only these 17 cases occurred within three years?

Will it be, the real number is far more than this number?

Also, it may be acceptable for the girl to disappear, but why did the girl disappear with her family?

Ju Ran and other constables in Shangyuan City are really so incompetent. Can’t they even capture the shadow of criminals?

Thinking of the burning incident of the Lu family bookstore, the sudden case of the corpse of a woman in a monk's clothes, and the disappearance of a daughter in the Hou's Mansion, a worrying fog rose in Xu Zun's heart!

The one who kidnapped these 17 girls was definitely not an ordinary kidnapper.

Behind these cases, there must be huge and unknown secrets...

It seems that I can no longer sit still and wait for death. I must take the initiative to attack, perhaps to gain something.

Thinking of this, Xu Zun said to Zhao Yu and Huo Anu: "You two come with me, let's go and do something big!"

...

Half an hour later, in the Sihai Restaurant near the city yamen.

Xu Zun, Zhao Yu and Huo Anu sat at a dining table, filled with hearty dishes and delicacies.

"Oh, this is the legendary Shangyuan Steam Pot Chicken!" Zhao Yu said with a steaming piece of chicken nuggets in his mouth, "I finally got it in my mouth today, haha..."

After saying that, he put the whole chicken nugget in his mouth and chewed it, which made him feel like he was enjoyable and full of comfort.

"Come on," Xu Zun said to Huo Anu, "Miss Huo, I have worked hard all morning to learn. Try this. This is called lobster fried golden eggs. The golden eggs are all crab roe, haha..."

"Mr. Xu," among the three, Huo Anu was the most surprised. "Aren't you going to take us to do a big thing? This big thing is to eat!"

"Wrong!" Xu Zun waved his hand and signaled, "How can you do something big without filling your stomach first?"

"Yes, yes, haha..." Zhao Yu was so busy that there was almost no room for his mouth. "Sir, I am really polite to the job. I can't see this meal in our Xinye County..."

After saying that, he stuffed another mouthful of foie gras into his mouth.

"Okay, but..." Huo Annu glanced around with the corner of his eyes, "I have something to remind you that there are at least six stalkers around us!"

"It's okay, haha," Xu Zun nodded, "There are two people in the Marquis' Mansion that I have seen. They are from the Marquis' Mansion. I have made military orders with the Marquis, so they naturally have to send someone to stare at me."

"Okay," Huo Annu suddenly raised his lips, and actually smiled, "I saw that they all looked envious, maybe they were so greedy!"

"Don't worry about them, eat quickly!"

As he said that, Xu Zun also tasted a bite of the jerky stir-fry, which felt particularly crispy and fragrant, and the taste was very special.

Shangyuan cuisine is famous for Daxuan, Sihai Restaurant is the most famous restaurant in Shangyuan City, and Xu Zun ordered all the special dishes of Sihailou.

The delicious food really makes people feel very enjoyable. Even Huo Anu is no longer reserved, so he immediately picked up chopsticks and feasted.

Last night, the three of them had been tossing for a night because of the Lu family bookstore. Now they are already hungry. How could they not eat such a table of delicious food?

In the blink of an eye, the three of them were like wind blowing away the clouds, eating clean and very comfortable. They looked at the people who were watching them and swallowing their saliva.

"Sir..." After drinking and eating, Huo Annu continued her curiosity, "What are your plans? Can you tell me now?

"Are you going to sneak into that Qinglan Academy and search it out?

"Or, find out the person who left us a blue skin?"

"Yes," Zhao Yu burped, and was also deeply puzzled, "The time you agreed with the Marquis is getting closer and closer. What are your plans?"

"Hu..." Xu Zun let out a heavy sigh, pointing to the eaten plate and said, "This meal is really comfortable, it's worth spending 10 taels of silver for us!

"Haha... two, we're going to do something big next!"

As he said that, Xu Zun stood up.

Huo Annu hurriedly held the iron umbrella, and Zhao Yu also clenched the sword. The two of them were extremely excited and eager to try.

"The big thing we are going to do," next, Xu Zun said a shocking and terrifying sentence, "It's going back to the inn - to sleep!"

when!

Huo Anu's iron umbrella hit the ground, and Zhao Yu almost fell down...
