An extremely familiar figure ran into my eyes.

The distance was too far, and she couldn't see the man's face clearly. She only saw a man dressed in red, surrounded by countless secret guards, and the atmosphere was condensed.

But she still recognized it at a glance.

Why did Xie Xun appear here?!

Meng Tangan took a step back and felt nothing when he stepped on the rock. He had to think of the worst possibility.

Xie Xun is here to catch her!

"Isn't it? I would really appreciate it."

At that moment, the people at the foot of the mountain seemed to raise their heads.

Knowing that it was impossible for Xie Xun to see him, Meng Tangan quickly hid under the tree trunk next to him, his heart beating very fast.

Why is this still lingering?!

Tianmeng Village could no longer go, so she glanced down the mountain for the last time. The two of them seemed to be talking about something, and it was tense. It couldn't be a good thing.

The back hill is overgrown with weeds and the trees are desolate, showing a dilapidated and chaotic appearance.

Meng Tangan walked down the mountain. The road was a bit difficult. Something flashed across the lightning and flint in front of his eyes. He rolled down the mountain... It hurt...

A splitting headache, direct sunlight, dazzling eyes.

She was a little irritable and thinking about something, so she didn't dare to take the official road after going down the mountain and walked along a path.

Without warning, more than a dozen men jumped out from the trees on both sides of the road ahead, blocking her way!

When Xie Xun looked up, he saw nothing. In the distance, there were desolate mountains and lush woods.

——Meng Tangan is definitely nearby!

Xie Xun walked on the mountain road for a long time. From day to night, he did not see the shadow of Meng Tang'an. He sent out all his troops and posted signs of Meng Tang'an along the way in surrounding towns and even county towns.

portrait.

Anyone who finds him will be rewarded a thousand taels.

Those who hurt others will be compared with each other.

There must be a brave man under a heavy reward. No matter how bad the situation is, there should be some news.

Xie Xun couldn't believe that his luck was so bad.

I will miss Meng Tangan every time.

Even if he is looking for death, he still wants to find the person!

The aunt was very welcoming to outsiders like them, and she would bring soup three meals a day. Pei Yanzhi looked at her wrist, made eye contact with the aunt, and nodded politely to her.

The aunt immediately laughed, her body was so fat that it was a bit scary.

After she left, Pei Yanzhi patted the dust on his sleeves and spoke without worrying about his current situation.

"I'm here to handle the case, and you're going to keep me detained like this?"

Xie Xun always made a clear distinction between official and private matters, and said coldly: "I will settle the score with you when I return to Beijing. Yang Zhihua, tell me the situation again."

"There is something strange about this village." Yang Zhihua said, "I have asked about it all over the past two days, asking about things that happened in the past three years."

"Everyone was very secretive and refused to say more than a word. They only said that the village had been closed for a long time and no outsiders were allowed in. They had no way to make money. They only ate chaffy vegetables and lived in poverty. All the young sons in the family were gone.

."

"I stayed for two days and didn't even see a single young and strong man. The youngest one was over 50 years old."

Although it is normal for young people to run to cities and towns, Yang Zhihua still finds it indescribably weird.

"They're lying."

Xie Xun sneered, looking lazy and frivolous.

Pei Yanzhi moved his fingertips slightly and looked at Xie Xun: "The aunt just now had a mark on her left wrist. The mark was caused by the inappropriate size of the bracelet she wore, and it was only two days after she took it off."

"I found a gold bracelet wrapped in red cloth in a box at her home at noon. There were bumps on the edges. It must have been bought three to six months ago. I ruled out other possibilities. Whether it was her look or words, I could only say that she didn't want to let her go.

We see."

"Shaoqing, when did you visit someone's boudoir?!" Yang Zhihua's face was horrified.

"..." Pei Yanzhi said, "I am handling a case."

"Oh."

"I sent someone down the mountain to inquire about this bracelet. Thirty taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to spend every year. It's not just her, everyone else has flaws. They are not poor at all."

They said there was no way to make money, and how could they get so much money? They hid too much and couldn't tell anyone about it.

Xie Xun said casually: "One more thing——"

"Accent." He said, "People's accents will be affected. They say that no outsiders have come here in recent years. Some people learn a very similar dialect, but still have a Beijing flavor."

Pei Yanzhi nodded: "Indeed, what they said is not the truth."

Yang Zhihua listened to their conversation blankly, and at the same time felt worried about her limited IQ.

"Now that this has happened, we can't hide it. Sooner or later, the truth will come out."

Pei Yanzhi raised his eyes and looked at Xie Xun's excessively pale face. He heard that Xie Xun had been looking for someone outside during the past two days.

"No matter how worried you are, there is no need to torture yourself like this."

Xie Xun's high fever has subsided. In the past two days, he still has a low-grade fever that has been recurring. He often wakes up from nightmares, sleepless at night, tossing and turning, all of which are Meng Tang'an's shadow.

He didn't know.

Meng Tangan had such a great influence on him.

"Of course I'm worried about handling the case."

Xie Xun leaned on the back of the chair, his long eyelashes drooping slightly, covering the red bloodshot eyes, his profile was sharp and thin, and he said in a neutral tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of cool wind blew by. He frowned, covered his lips with his fingers and coughed several times, his voice a little hoarse.

Pei Yanzhi has nothing to say.

There was a cry from the sky, and a huge black falcon soared between the sky and the earth, swooped down, and stopped in front of Xie Xun.

Xie Xun subconsciously wanted to take away the note it was carrying, only to find that there was nothing there, and his movements suddenly froze.

The falcon stared at him, and kept making hawk chirps from its throat.

Xie Xun didn’t blow a bone whistle at all, let alone call it over!

His bone whistle was given to Meng Tangan before his wedding, and he later made a new one.

"Where is the person?"

Xie Xun's eyes were covered with a faint blood color, just like the dark sky when a storm was coming, and his aura was inexplicably depressing.

The falcon flew up and flapped its wings.

"The case is handed over to you!" Xie Xun said nothing and galloped away on horseback.

Pei Yanzhi knew that Xie Xun had been looking for Meng Tangan.

The only person who can make Xie Xun lose control now is that person.

After asking around, Wenxiu felt a little relaxed, hesitating with a little hope: "What can you give me after I tell you?"

Yang Zhihua: "...clothes, jewelry, and money are all fine. If you want to marry into a good family, I can find one for you, but our young master already has a sweetheart."

Wen Xiu was stunned, biting her lip, thinking that it was nothing to have a sweetheart, men all have three wives and four concubines, and whispered.

"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that my mother doesn't let me talk to outsiders. Our village was not so wealthy in the past two years, but in the past two years, I heard that I met a noble man and gave him a lot of money!"

"Who?"

"We have never met this noble man, but Sun Hao, who lives in the far east, knows better. He told us in the beginning. You can go find him."

"Isn't there no one in the east?"

"There is a house behind the mountain to the east. He has a rather withdrawn temperament."

Pei Yanzhi immediately set off and walked east. Yang Zhihua said thank you and followed.

When Meng Tangan was stopped that day, more than a dozen men surrounded her, and her aura was solemn and depressing.
