When Huaixiu woke up, she found herself lying on the bed at home, with her father calling her in front of her. She sat up suddenly and felt dizzy.

"Xiu'er..."

"Dad." Huaixiu held onto his father's hand tightly, "Go and save Brother Song. Go and save Brother Song."

"Don't worry, what happened? Xiaoren said they were going to arrest Rong Niang, but Rong Niang disappeared."

Li Gongming had many questions. Although Zhang Xiaoren woke up and was rescued, he didn't know anything clearly.

Huaixiu cried and said, "It's them. They captured Brother Song and Rong Niang. Dad, go and save them." Huaixiu cried loudly. He had never been so sad. "Brother Song was injured and lost a lot of blood."

Blood......"

"Don't get excited yet. Dad has already sent people to look for him. Tell him what happened quickly."

Li Gongming was also very anxious. Huaixiu took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and told his father the whole story.

Li Gongming frowned when he heard this, and Huai Xiu said, "I remember their appearance, and I can draw them so that my father can make a list to catch them. Although, even though they have changed their appearance, there is still a chance to find out."

"Okay, okay." Li Gongming comforted his daughter and brought some pen and ink. Huaixiu quickly finished drawing the portraits of the three people. Song Gongming looked at them and immediately handed them over to Zhou Cheng who was outside.

Huaixiu chased him out and said, "Jingfa Temple, there is also Jingfa Temple."

Li Gongming said, "Chen Jin and the others have already left."

"Daddy must catch them and save Brother Song." Huaixiu looked at his father expectantly, and Li Gongming nodded heavily.

However, since then, in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Zhang Rongniang has just disappeared from the world, and there is no news about her. No one knows whether she is dead or alive.

Li Gongming only brought back Song Yuan's Qingfeng sword.

Magistrate Hu put Wang Xiucai on trial in a high-profile trial. Wang Xiucai changed his confession and admitted that he had killed the girl from the Zhao family. The motive for the murder was that the girl from the Zhao family knew that he was engaged to the Jia family and threatened her with the child. He was afraid that she would ruin his future. Then

He sneaked out of his house quietly at night and lurked in the wild boar forest, because he knew that the Zhao girl would go to the wild boar forest to collect firewood every day. Sure enough, he waited for her, killed her in anger, cut her body into pieces, buried her, and took the tools of the crime into pieces.

He threw the ax and blood-stained blood clothes into the river, and then quietly climbed over the wall to go home. Because Wang Xiucai told his family that he was studying and they were not allowed to disturb him, his family did not know about it. The case could not withstand scrutiny, but Wang Xiucai personally rowed the axe.

Wang Xiucai was imprisoned, and the ax and bloody clothes were found at the place where he confessed, which also satisfied the people's hatred for adulterers. No one raised any objections, and finally Wang Xiucai was sentenced to be executed in autumn.

Wang Xiucai only had one mother and one brother. He could no longer stay in Shi'an County and was stabbed in the spine and moved away.

The case of the Zhao girl was determined to be a different case from the disappearance case.

Although Magistrate Hu did not solve the missing case, he solved the egregious murder and dismemberment case, which can be regarded as meritorious and left him a good reputation in Shi'an County. After all, things like missing persons are too common.

Shi'an County is located on an important land and water transportation route. It is not known where the person was abducted. How easy is it to track it? There are not many cases there in every state and county in the world. So, after a few years, people gradually forget about it, even the family members of the victims.

I won’t mention it anymore, life has to go on.

Spring passed and autumn came, and in the blink of an eye there were seven cold and hot days.

Perhaps the only one who remembered was Li Huaixiu. She often thought that if she hadn't been so self-righteous at the time, now that she had discovered the old lady's suspicions, the old lady had disguised herself very well, but the white teeth were missing. She should have reported it immediately instead of

If she took the risk on her own initiative, nothing would happen to Brother Song and Rong Niang would not disappear. She was the one who harmed them. This deep sense of self-blame has been with her for six years.

For seven years, she never gave up on the investigation. In the first year, she went to the Yamen almost every day, so much so that Magistrate Hu scolded her father. In the second year, she studied harder and read all the relevant cases she could find.

In the third year, she found some clues. The missing Feng Siniang, Jiang Ying, Zhang Rongniang, and even Zhao Hui all had pure yin fates, that is, they were born in the yin year, yin month, yin day, and yin time. She told her father the result.

, but she did not get support from her father, who no longer let her touch anything related to the case. Later, her father forced her to learn to be a female celebrity. When she became an adult, she began to arrange a marriage for her. For this reason, the father and daughter

People gradually become separated.

Time flies, and we soon arrive at the twenty-ninth year of the Apocalypse.

River bandits were in trouble again in Jiangzhou. Several passing merchants were robbed on the river and all the goods on board were robbed. The magistrate of Jiangzhou, Hu Yingquan, the former magistrate of Shi'an County, sent soldiers to patrol the river. Each county government also sent people to patrol the river.

With the assistance of the respective river docks, Shi'an County Chief Li Gongming led the police officers to patrol continuously for several months. It was very hard. Fortunately, the water bandits have restrained themselves. At least in Shi'an County, no trace of them has been found.

On that day, the moon was dark and the wind was high. After several weeks of patrolling the river as usual, Zhou Cheng and others found nothing unusual, so they took a nap in the shed set up by the river. Suddenly something hit their necks and said, "Don't move."

"Zhou Cheng was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat. When he saw that it was just a wooden stick, he jumped up in anger.

"Zhang Xiaoren, you dare to mess with me." The chase started immediately.

Everyone laughed. Zhang Xiaoren was already sixteen years old. He didn't like studying and he was tall and tall. His father had no choice but to send him to the government office. The county magistrate Zhao Zhi saw that he was very powerful and put him in the county government office.

Even standing alone could scare evildoers, so he accepted him and became an official.

But it was this mighty official who was pinned to the ground and beaten by the short Zhou Cheng, who begged for mercy.

After a slight cough, Li Gongming came over, and the jockeys quickly dispersed. Zhou Cheng smiled and said, "Li Tou, it's almost dawn, shouldn't we withdraw?"

Li Gongming looked at the river and saw several boats on their way. "At this time, we cannot relax."

Several people complained for a while.

"Hey, it smells like steamed buns." Zhang Xiaoren sniffed again and again.

"Where did the steamed bun smell come from?" Chen Jin said with a smile, "Maybe he broke his nose."

Zhang Xiaoren sniffed again, his eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Mutton buns made by Li Huaixiu."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps, "Dad!" Li Huaixiu walked quickly carrying a food box.

After seven years, Li Huaixiu has grown into a tall and graceful girl.

Everyone was overjoyed and hurried forward to greet him, "Zhang Xiaoren, you are really a dog."

Everyone was just grabbing the food boxes, but Li Huaixiu was so agile that he dodged left and right, making it impossible for several big men to reach them. Li Huaixiu jumped to the shed and said, "One mutton bun for each person, and two for my father."

Everyone rushed into the shed again and began to share the buns. Zhang Xiaoren wanted to take two, but Huaixiu took a picture and gave the buns to his father.

Li Gongming said, "It's so late, didn't I tell you not to send anything?"

Huaixiu smiled and said, "I'm afraid that daddy will be hungry."

"What should you do if you meet a bad person? You are a girl."

"Don't worry, Li Tou. We are not afraid that the thieves will meet Huaixiu, but we are afraid that the thieves will not meet Huaixiu. Look, she carries the Qingfeng sword with her. Even our door gods are not qualified to wield swords."

Huaixiu smiled lightly, but couldn't help but carefully look at her father's face. She knew that her father would no longer allow her to wield a sword. Seeing that she was not angry, she quickly poured a cup of hot tea and said, "father, drink tea."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cry for help coming from the river, "Help, help..."
