Hearing that what Lao Zhao said was not a lie, one of the government officials did not dare to be rude and went in to report Lin Juling.
Magistrate Lin had just laid down because he had been fussed by the two arsonists sent from Shenjia Village for half the night the night before. When he heard that the legitimate daughter of the governor of Lingzhou had disappeared in his territory, he got up immediately.
"Isn't it true? What does the person who reported it look like?" Magistrate Lin asked while getting dressed.
"One maid and two men. By the way, when the tall and thick middle-aged man grabbed Jiang Wu's collar, I saw he had six fingers on his right hand.'
Magistrate Lin's expression changed greatly when he heard this. Last time the Lingzhou governor and his wife came to Wantian County for inspection, didn't the governor's wife bring a six-fingered entourage with her?
"Quick, please invite them in. I'll be there soon."
"Yes." Seeing that the county magistrate was confused, the Yamen was also frightened and hurriedly ran to the Yamen gate.
Lao Zhao was still arguing with several other yamen servants at the yamen gate, and they were about to start a fight.
The government official who reported the news quickly stopped them and invited Lao Zhao Hongluan and Lao Qian into the county government lobby.
Soon Magistrate Lin put on his clothes and came in with his heart trembling.
"What's going on?" As soon as he came in, his eyes fell on Lao Zhao. This familiar face was indeed the attendant beside the governor's wife. County Magistrate Lin recognized him and his attitude immediately became extremely respectful, "Sit, sit down Say, serve tea!"
The few government officials who had just stopped them from breaking in were so frightened that they sneaked away with their killing sticks.
Lao Zhao and the others had no intention of drinking tea, so they hurriedly explained the causes and consequences of Ding Xiaolian's disappearance.
Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Lin did not dare to delay and sent almost all the people in the Yamen to Dahe Town to search for the missing Ding Xiaolian.
At this time, Mr. Li leaned into the county magistrate's ear and whispered: "Recently, we have received many cases of missing women. We suspect that someone is selling teeth to the Western Regions. Will Miss Ding be arrested?"
Master Li had reminded County Magistrate Lin to investigate the case of these missing women, but Magistrate Lin felt that there was no money to be made and left it alone.
After hearing this, Magistrate Lin's expression softened a lot. Miss Ding would suffer a little at the hands of Ren Yazi, but at least she would be fine. As long as she sent a message to the Western Region Checkpoint, she would not be able to escape if she stayed at the checkpoint.
He hurriedly said to Lao Zhao: "You don't need to panic, and don't alert the governor. I will definitely find Miss Ding safe and sound."
Old Zhao agreed, they lost the young lady, if they alerted the governor, would they still be alive?
Magistrate Lin asked: "What kind of carriage is Miss Ding riding in? What kind of person is the driver?"
Old Zhao thought for a while: "The car was called in the middle of the night. The man didn't look at the person when he spoke. I really didn't see his face, but the carriage. By the way, Shen Yue, didn't we meet Shen Yue on the road? Caught a carriage? That car looks just like it."
Hong Luan was extremely surprised: "This can't be possible, can it? How come the carriage is in her hands? Her house was set on fire last night, and she has nothing to do.'
Magistrate Lin was shocked, "If you want to kidnap someone, you don't have to do it yourself. You can hire someone to do it, and it's not necessarily a gang crime."
Seeing that Magistrate Lin was so confident, Lao Zhao and Hongluan looked at each other. Although they still didn't believe it, the more Lao Zhao thought about it, the more he felt that the carriage was the one he hired in the east of the town.
"Why are you still standing there? Don't you want to save your young lady?" County Magistrate Lin was more anxious than anyone else, "Captain Li, hurry up and take a few people to follow Mr. Zhao to arrest this person."
Shen Yuyu drove the carriage slowly for a long time. When she was about to enter the city, a carriage rushed out from the front and blocked her. Capt. Li led several officers and soldiers to surround her.
Shen Yuyu was inexplicably surprised when Old Zhao dragged her out of the car and got into the car.
After searching the carriage, Lao Zhao's sharp eyes found a meat bun in an inconspicuous corner, and he immediately exclaimed: "Yes, that's right, it's this carriage. The meat bun even rolled on the ground." He At that time, I left two meat buns for the lady, but one rolled on the ground.
After listening to Lao Zhao's words, Capt. Li looked at Shen Yuyu coldly: "Quickly, tie him up."
Shen Yuyu was confused and tried to keep calm: "Why did you tie me up? Did I break any law?"
Old Zhao got off the carriage with the meat buns and glared at Shen Yuyu angrily: "Miss Shen, my lady is the daughter of the governor of Lingzhou. Where did you kidnap her? Letting her out now can spare your life. , otherwise your whole family will be implicated.'
Shen Yue: stunned.
After a long while, he asked: "Your lady is missing? When did she disappear?" Old Zhao said angrily: "You are still pretending to be stupid? Aren't you the one who kidnapped her?"
Shen Yuyu was speechless and struggled to free herself from the rope that bound her: "Let me go. My house was burned down last night and I was busy all night in Shenjia Village. There were so many pairs of eyes watching. How can I be blamed for this?" "
Li Captou sneered: "Just because you're not there doesn't prove that you didn't do it. You can instigate others to do it!" He recognized Shen Yuyu. Despite her young age, this girl was very smart and knew everything. Maybe she was really He joined the Renyazi gang for money and kidnapped Ms. Ding.
After saying that, regardless of Shen Yuyu's resistance, he tied her up forcefully and pulled her into the city.
The group of people had not gone far when they encountered the villagers who had sent Mrs. Wang and Shen Zuorong to the Yamen the night before, driving out in a carriage.
"What's going on, Girl Shen? What did you do?"
Shen Wen, who was driving the carriage, stopped the carriage and was surprised to see Shen Yuyu being tied up. The other people in the carriage also quickly got out of the carriage and asked about the reason with concern.
Lao Zhao then briefly told them about Ding Xiaolian's disappearance last night, and told them that the carriage Shen Yuxi was driving was the one that kidnapped Ding Xiaolian, so Shen Yuxi was the biggest suspect.
After listening to Lao Zhao's narration, everyone fell silent. Shen Wen said to Shen Yuyu: "Girl Shen, I know you won't do such a thing. Don't worry, I will tell your husband-in-law to help you find out about this matter. "
"Thank you, brother Shen Wen. You must tell my husband that I have never done this." Shen Yuyu said a few words to Shen Wen with a look of injustice on his face, and was escorted away.
After entering the Yamen, the county magistrate couldn't wait to interrogate Shen Yuyu.
"Where is Miss Ding now? Recruit her quickly."
"I said, I never tied her up, nor did I instruct anyone else to tie her up. How do I know where she is?" Shen Yuyu also complained endlessly.
"You still dare to deny her? The carriage that took her away is in your hands."
Shen Yuhuan said hurriedly, "This carriage is not mine. It was given to me by Zhao Mo, the boss of Zuixianlou, who I met halfway this morning. Everything I said is true. If there is any panic, Struck by lightning."
After hearing this, County Magistrate Lin had no choice but to send someone to Zuixian Tower to invite Zhao Mo.
"Master Zhao, please take a seat." The Zhao family is the richest man in Lingzhou City. Magistrate Lin cannot afford to offend such people.
Zhao Mo was wearing a thick mink fur cloak. After sitting down, he looked at Shen Yu with a half-smile.
