Following Captain Xiao's order, with Yaxing as the center, a 300-meter radius was completely blocked.
Then teams of government soldiers rushed into shops and households, searching door to door.
With the government soldiers blocking it, the veterans regrouped at the shop.
Immediately afterwards, Captain Xiao came in with a team of government soldiers.
If he wanted to gain a foothold in Guangyuan, in addition to establishing a good relationship with the county guards, he also had to deal with the government soldiers guarding the city gate. Tang Xiaobei gave the task of making good friends with the government soldiers to Da Liu.
The two of them had dinner together several times and went to a brothel twice, so they had some friendship.
When Captain Xiao met, he asked directly: "Brother Liu, what's going on? Aren't you protecting Miss Xiaobei every step of the way? How could you be kidnapped?"
"I was at the door, and someone was getting married..."
Da Liu explained the matter helplessly.
But he didn't even see the masked man and didn't know much.
Just as he was talking, Alan and the female soldiers, whose hands were covered in blood, also returned one after another.
"Did you catch him?"
Da Liu obviously knew the result, but he still asked Alan in a lucky tone.
"No, the other party's hands and feet are very clean, no traces can be found."
Alan shook his head and said.
Then, under Lieutenant Xiao's questioning, he recounted the process of fighting the man in black.
"With Miss Bei on her back, she can easily jump over a ten-foot-high courtyard wall without leaving any traces. It seems that the other party is a great master!"
Da Liu frowned slightly: "There may also be a problem with the family where the bride is getting married. Captain Xiao, can you find out whose family it is?"
Their manpower was limited, so they could only rush to various intersections as quickly as possible. They really didn't have the extra people to chase the escort team.
"This is simple. I can ask someone to find out."
After Captain Xiao finished speaking, he asked: "By the way, where is the shopkeeper of this store?"
This shop was the one that originally sold it to the female slave Jin Feng. At this time, the fat shopkeeper was huddled in the corner, trembling with fear, and his heart was full of bitterness.
Jin Feng was a ruthless man who dared to fight even the county guard. Tang Xiaobei was kidnapped in his shop, and Jin Feng had to skin him when he came.
But now that things have come to this, he can only hide in a corner and pray silently that no one will notice him.
Unfortunately, things didn't work out as expected, Captain Xiao called him by name, and the fat shopkeeper had no choice but to walk out.
After asking the usual questions, Lieutenant Xiao asked the soldiers to take away the shopkeeper, the handymen and thugs in the yard, and temporarily put them in jail.
In fact, Captain Xiao knew that this matter had nothing to do with the shopkeeper, but Tang Xiaobei was kidnapped in his shop after all. Even if there was a slight possibility, he could not let the shopkeeper go until he found Tang Xiaobei.
leave.
Da Liu and Alan also understood this, so they didn't say anything.
"By the way, there is also the Zhou family!"
Alan suddenly said: "Miss Xiaobei beat Zhou Dewu a few days ago. The Zhou family must have a grudge and may take revenge."
When Liu heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, and he was about to take the veteran to the Zhou family to ask for someone.
"The Zhou family is a wealthy family, and they won't let you search them casually."
Captain Xiao stopped Da Liu: "Don't worry, the governor has already thought of this. When I came, he had already gone to Zhou's house with a group of people."
"Then I have to send someone to have a look." Da Liu couldn't believe anyone now: "Monkey, go and help the county guard search together."
Captain Xiao smiled bitterly and did not stop him this time.
At the same time, the search work of the government soldiers continued.
Teams of government soldiers rushed into Yahang shops and nearby people's homes and began searching without saying a word.
In fact, the search is very simple. After all, most people do not have much furniture in their homes and there are few places to hide people.
Go to the kitchen and look through the haystack, then go to the occupied house and look under the bed and on the beams. If there is a wardrobe, look through the wardrobe. The search is over.
The search progressed very quickly.
After the government soldiers left, the common people walked out of their homes confused and gathered in small groups, watching the government soldiers running back and forth on the street.
"What happened? Why are there so many soldiers on the road?"
"I don't know. It seems like you are looking for someone?"
"Who can make such a big noise? It seems that all the soldiers in the city have been mobilized, right?"
"Is it possible that someone assassinated the Sheriff?"
"You can pull him down. If the county guard is assassinated, who will mobilize the government troops?"
"I was walking through the door of Shopkeeper Tong's shop just now, and I thought I heard someone shouting inside that Miss Xiaobei had been kidnapped."
"Miss Xiaobei? Is she the Miss Xiaobei who was ransomed by Mr. Jin and now sells soap?"
"I just listened when I was passing by. How could I know if it was her?"
"It should be her. Besides Tang Xiaobei, who else in Guangyuan can make the soldiers so nervous?"
"Miss Xiaobei hung the county governor's niece at the gate of Fengyuefang for a day and a night. She was kidnapped. It was too late for the county governor to be happy. How could he send government soldiers to look for her?"
"That makes sense!"
"It makes sense. My niece was hanged by Miss Bei in Fengyuefang. The county guard didn't even go to save her. It shows that the county guard is afraid of Mr. Jin. Miss Xiao Bei is one of Mr. Jin's people. She was kidnapped. The county guard
It’s strange that Mr. Shou isn’t nervous.”
"That's right, Mr. Liu is indeed a scholar. He sees things more clearly than us roughnecks."
"I don't know who is so bold as to kidnap Miss Xiaobei in broad daylight. I've had enough life. Just wait and see, if Miss Xiaobei can't be found, Mr. Jin will have to cause chaos in the county."
…
The government soldiers made such a big noise, which naturally disturbed countless people.
In less than a morning, the whole city knew that the soap seller Xiao Bei had been kidnapped.
After lunch, the search work of the government soldiers also ended.
Hundreds of government soldiers turned over Yaxing and surrounding houses, but they couldn't even find Tang Xiaobei's hair.
The same goes for the Zhou family. Although they were reluctant, the county guard personally came forward and Zhou Changlin let the soldiers in.
Monkey participated in the entire search and found no trace of Tang Xiaobei.
"Even if the Zhou family kidnapped Miss Xiaobei, she would not have kept her at home. She must have been moved away."
Da Liu said helplessly: "Monkey, go back quickly and tell your husband."
If Jin Feng knew that Tang Xiaobei was missing, he would definitely come as soon as possible. According to the time, he would have to travel at night.
It is very dangerous to ride a horse at night in the mountains.
Before, Da Liu was a little lucky, thinking that such a rigorous search would probably find Tang Xiaobei, so Jin Feng wouldn't have to make a night trip.
But as the captains of the government soldiers kept coming back to report, the luck in Da Liu's heart was shattered bit by bit.
Now he had no choice but to ask Monkey to go back and invite Jin Feng.
Three war horses had been prepared at the door. The monkey rode one, took the remaining two, and bolted out of the city.
Along the way, the monkeys were running very fast and non-stop.
When the horse gets tired from running, he replaces it with another horse and continues running.
The originally nearly two-day journey ended up taking only half a day, and the monkey rushed back to Xihewan when it was dark.
"What did you say, Xiaobei was kidnapped?"
Jin Feng was eating. When he heard the news, he stood up so fast that his chair was knocked over.
Tang Dongdong turned pale, staggered and almost fell.

Let’s talk about updates. Under normal circumstances, I will try to keep four chapters a day. If I have to travel far at the end of the month for something, the updates may not be confirmed. I will try to update as many chapters as possible in the past few days. Thank you all for your support, book friends!
