In Yecheng, there has been no news about Xu Kang for two days, and everyone is as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Xue Ke'er couldn't eat or sleep for two days. She lost a lot of weight. At this time, she had reached the limit of her patience. "No, let's go to Zhen's house and ask." Xue Ke'er made up her mind.

Everyone else was silent for a while. What identity should they use to ask? The Zhen family is a wealthy family in Hebei and has inextricable connections with the government. If they went to question him rashly, their identities would probably be exposed.

But now the Zhen family is the only clue to find Xu Kang.

What should I do? Do I really want to go?

Seeing Xue Ker's anxious look, Wang Yue sighed and said, "It seems there is no other way now. I'll go with you."

"Thank you, Mr. Wang." Xue Kerer said excitedly. She also knew that her decision was a bit rash, so she felt grateful to have Wang Yue's support.

Gongsun Kang hesitated for a long time and said: "Well, since we are here together, we will eventually face it together, so I will accompany you."

Xue Keer looked at Gongsun Kang in surprise. Although she didn't quite understand why he was so serious about Xu Kang's disappearance, she still thanked him gratefully.

At noon, Xue Kerr had already bought gifts and was anxiously waiting for others to arrive in the lobby of the inn.

Wang Yue and Gongsun Kang walked out of the back hall hand in hand. Xue Keer said anxiously: "The gifts are ready, let's leave quickly."

Seeing how anxious she was, Wang Yue and Gongsun Kang didn't know what to say, so they could only nod.

The three of them led the guards and were about to go out, when they saw an honest-looking man coming in.

At first, everyone didn't care. After all, there are many men dressed like him in Yecheng. But they didn't expect that the man went to the waiter and asked: "Brother, is there a girl named Xue Mingke'er living here?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately stopped.

When Xue Keer saw other people looking at her, she shook her head to show that she didn't recognize the person.

The waiter asked: "Who are you? What do you want to do with this girl?"

Because the man had his back to the store door, he did not notice anything strange about Xue Ker's group, so he continued: "My name is Zhang Niu, and a man named Xu Kang asked me to deliver a letter to her."

As soon as he heard Xu Kang's name, without waiting for the waiter's reply, Xue Ke'er came in front of Zhang Niu in three steps and two steps at a time, and asked anxiously: "Where is the letter?"

Zhang Niu asked warily: "Who are you?"

The waiter in the shop hurriedly introduced: "This is Miss Xue. Don't you have a letter for her?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Niu took out a letter from his arms and was about to explain. Who knew that Xue Keer actually snatched it away.

Zhang Niu was furious and was about to reprimand him. At this time, Wang Yue, Gongsun Kang and a group of guards had surrounded him. Seeing that there were so many people on the other side, Zhang Niu shut his mouth obediently.

Xue Kerer glanced through the letter hurriedly, as if she still couldn't believe it, then read it carefully from beginning to end, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Gongsun Kang hurriedly asked: "What's going on? Is it Mr. Xu's letter?"

Xue Keer nodded and said with a smile: "It's his handwriting. He said he was fine and told us not to worry. He also asked us to go to Luoyang to settle down first. He will join us in Luoyang in a few days."

"That's all?" Gongsun Kang said dissatisfied: "Then where did he go? Why didn't he come back? What on earth was he doing? Didn't he say any of this?"

Xue Ke'er shook her head and said, "I didn't say it. If you don't believe me, you can read it yourself." After saying that, she handed the letter to Gongsun Kang. For Xue Ke'er, she was just worried about Xu Kang's safety. Since she knew he was safe and sound,

, Ke'er felt relieved. As for where Xu Kang was now? What was he doing? Since he didn't want to say, Ke'er obediently didn't ask.

After reading the letter, Gongsun Kang said angrily: "Don't he know how worried we have been in the past two days? We worked very hard to find him, but he actually left a letter saying he was gone and then disappeared.

"

Xue Keer also knew that Gongsun Kang had been looking for Xu Kang for the past two days, so he patiently explained: "I guess he has some unavoidable reasons, and he will naturally give an explanation to everyone when he comes back."

Gongsun Kang said resolutely: "That's it with just one explanation, so what do we think of us in his eyes?"

After all, Xue Keer was still very resistant to Gongsun Kang. Hearing this, he was a little unhappy and said: "Then Mr. Gongsun wants to do this?"

Seeing that Xue Ke'er was really angry, Gongsun Kang's momentum weakened and he said, "He's not here, what should we do next?"

Xue Ker combed her hair and said gracefully: "Hasn't he already told us to go to Luoyang and wait for him? We just do as he is told."

"But how will he find us when he gets to Luoyang?"

"You don't have to worry about Mr. Gongsun." After Xue Keer finished speaking, he said to the waiter: "Brother, prepare a bowl of noodles for me. I want a big bowl. I haven't eaten well in two days, and I'm really hungry.

"After saying that, you should apologize to Wang Yue and leave first.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Wang Yue smiled bitterly and led Zhao Yun back to his courtyard.

In the end, only Gongsun Kang was left gnashing his teeth behind him. I didn't expect that Xue Ke'er, who was so powerful now that Xu Kang was gone, didn't take him seriously at all. I was really angry.

At this time, Zhang Niu was still waiting. He did not deliver Xu Kang's letter for free. Xu Kang had promised that as long as he delivered the letter, the recipient would definitely give him ten taels of silver as a thank you.

You must know that a servant like Zhang Niu can only earn four to five hundred coins after a month's hard work. This is because Cai Yong is kind and pays high wages. And one tael of silver is normal money. According to the official exchange rate, it is one tael.

One thousand yuan or ten taels of silver is equal to his income for a year and a half.

He had two letters with him, which meant that he could easily earn three years' wages by just one trip to Yecheng.

Thinking of this, Zhang Niu agreed without hesitation and asked for leave from the housekeeper.

Just seeing Xue Ker's excitement when holding the letter, Zhang Niu was also very excited. Of course it was not for the letter, but because he felt that since the other party cared so much about Xu Kang's letter, the reward must be quite large.

Unexpectedly, Xue Keer was excited for a while, but ignored him, turned around and left.

The others didn't show any sign. Seeing that everyone was almost gone, Zhang Newton became anxious.

Seeing that Gongsun Kang was about to leave, Zhang Niu grabbed his sleeve and said, "Xu Kang said you would give me ten taels of silver as reward, where is the silver?"

Gongsun Kang, who was already in a bad mood, heard this and said angrily: "You still dare to ask me for money, believe it or not, I will punch you all over the ground."

Zhang Niu was kicked out of the inn, and he was furious. Damn it, Xu Kang actually dared to lie to me. After speaking, he reached out and took out another letter from his arms, and was about to tear it up. But then he thought about it, what if he tore this letter?

letter, then my trip was really in vain.

That's all, it's here anyway, let's try our luck again, maybe the next family will have a generous owner.

Zhang Newton was overjoyed when he saw the glorious family of Zhen Mansion. This family is so rich, the bounty will definitely be huge.

Zhang Niu stepped forward and explained his purpose. The guard knew that Xu Kang had a close relationship with the lady, so he did not dare to neglect and hurried into the house to inform him.

Zhang Niu was smarter this time. He put the letter in his arms and vowed to get the reward before showing the letter to others.

Zhen Luo, who was originally sulking alone because of Xu Kang's breach of trust, heard that he had received a letter and immediately ran out the door happily. After seeing Zhang Niu, she said sweetly: "Where is the letter?"

When Zhang Niu saw such a beautiful little girl who was like a fairy, his bones suddenly softened. Hearing her sweet voice, he had already given up his determination and left for Java, and immediately handed over the letter.

Got out.

But after Luo'er read the letter and knew that Xu Kang had left Yecheng, tears of disappointment fell down her face, she turned around and left crying.

Seeing Zhen Luo's figure disappear, Zhang Niu's floating soul returned to his body. He immediately remembered that he hadn't asked for the reward yet. Just as he was about to catch up, the servants of the Zhen family surrounded him.

"He was the one who made the young lady cry."

"Young lady is such a nice person, but you even greeted me once? This bastard dared to make him cry."

"Stop talking nonsense, call me, and vent your anger for the lady first."

After saying that, all the servants rushed forward, pushed Zhang Niu to the ground and gave him a beating.

Zhang Niu left Yecheng scarred and dejected, with tears of humiliation in his eyes.

What kind of world is this! I sent a letter out of kindness, but not only did I not get a cent of the reward, but I also got a beating for nothing.
