268,—the thirtieth cannon fodder—(2/2)

Taomi smiled even brighter. Although this method is used to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, it may be a temporary one.

On the second day, news came from Taoyuan County, which was not very big. The customer who booked the entire Yingfeng Restaurant was really in the wind last night and was infected with the cold. Any doctor with some reputation in the county was found.

"Xue Dan, what's the origin of that guest? He was able to let all the doctors in the county go there. I had to have a toothache and I didn't even want to ask the doctor to prescribe a pair of medicine." Song Ci looked at the doctors with medicine boxes coming in and out not far away and said in confusion.

"It's probably a noble person. If it were an ordinary citizen, who would have been in such a big situation? But I haven't heard from the adults say that there would be noble people passing by our Taoyuan County recently." Xue Dan scratched his head and said.

Song Ci nodded in agreement, "I don't know anything else, but I must be sure of the nobles, but maybe they are low-key, and it is possible that they will not reveal their wealth."

"Song Corsair, you are here. A case happened. Lord Song is looking for you everywhere."

“Where is it?”

"In Lan Mansion." After the constable said these three words, Song Ci quickly ran over like the direction where Lan Mansion was, but the distance between them was not far. Song Ci had just run there for two quarters of an hour, and even breathed even when he arrived at Lan Mansion.

"Mr. Song, where is the body?"

"Did you come here? Why are you sweating profusely?" Song Yi handed over a handkerchief, "There is no corpse, you can wipe it first, drink a sip of water and I will tell you slowly."

"What the hell is going on?"

"Today, Miss Lan and Miss Cousin went for a walk in the woods. Unexpectedly, they encountered a thief. In order to protect Miss Lan, Miss Lan was taken away by the thief. Miss Cousin was also injured. However, the doctor could not be found in the city, so they could only let you check Miss Cousin's injuries and see if they could provide clues to the case."

Song Yi explained clearly, and Song Ci breathed a sigh of relief, "Where is Miss Cousin now?"

"Inside the room." Song Ci followed the maid into the inner room.

Lan Tao and Mrs. Lan sat on the chair without saying a word. Song Yigong bowed his hand and said, "Mr. Lan, please rest assured. I will be able to find the thief and rescue Miss Lan."

"Caidie has been taken away by someone now. Life and death are uncertain, how can you rest assured?" Lan Tao roared angrily, and then stood up as if something sounded, "Butler, come quickly."

"What are the instructions of the master?" The butler Wang Fu came over and said.

"Take people to the warehouse immediately to check how many treasures there are, and go to the accounting room to see how much money there is. Since the kidnapper took Caidie away, he will definitely ask for a ransom. I must not let Caidie have something to do, I must not." After Lan Tao ordered to sit down and drink a cup of tea, but maybe because he was too nervous, even his hands holding the teacup trembled, and in the end the teacup was not held and fell to the ground.

"Master Lan, Song Yi knows that you love your daughter very much, but it is not in line with the rules when you go privately with the kidnappers." Song Yi thought for a while and went forward and said.

Lan Tao raised his head and glared at Song Yi, "I have money. I am willing to exchange all my family wealth for my daughter to come back. What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? Isn't it just that the kidnappers will really release Caidians when they receive the ransom. You officials are just not doing anything."

"Master Lan, this is not a matter of merit. The kidnappers are usually inhumane. He has not received the ransom and can still ensure Miss Lan's safety. But once he receives the ransom, Miss Lan may be in danger at that time." Song Yi said bitterly.

Lan Tao also knew something about Song Yi’s words, “I can’t control that much. As long as the kidnapper asks for money, I will give it to you. I must not let my daughter get back. You said it’s normal. Maybe there are those who use money. They will release my daughter when they receive the money.”

Yes, that's it. The kidnappers are just asking for money. As long as they give money, they will definitely let his daughter go.

"Don't worry, Miss Lan will definitely not be in trouble." A clear voice came in, interrupting everyone's thoughts. Looking over, the luxuriously dressed man walked in, shaking his fan and was very graceful.

"Who are you? You dare to come in to my Lan Mansion without authorization."

The Tenth Prince smiled and walked to Lan Tao, "You are Uncle Lan, haven't Caidie told you about me?"

"Who are you? Do you know Caidie?"

The Tenth Prince nodded, closed the fan, and said loudly, "Take it in."

Several servants outside came in with several boxes. The Tenth Prince continued to smile and said, "Uncle Lan, here is Zhao Shi, Caidie and I met in the capital. We were like alike and we were very compatible, so I promised Caidie to come to see you. This is a gift, so please accept it."

The servant opened the lid, and the gold, silver, jewelry, silk, and jade. If it were Lan Tao in the past, he would definitely have a chat and see if it might be beneficial to his business, but now he is not in the mood at all. "Sorry, Mr. Zhao, the little girl has never told me about you, you should take these things back."

The Tenth Prince waved his hand and covered the box with a quilt, "Uncle Lan, I know you are worried about Caidie's safety, but I can tell you that Caidie must be fine."

"Why are you so sure?" Song Yi stepped forward and said, his eyes kept staring at the Tenth Prince, wanting to see some tricks from his expression.

"Oh, what do you mean by asking this? Do you think I caught Lan Caidie?" The Tenth Prince took a step back and said exaggeratedly, "Caidie and I are close friends, why should I catch Caidie?"

"I didn't say it." Song Yi shifted his gaze uneasy. He didn't say it, but he was really thinking that way just now.

The Tenth Prince took two steps forward, tapped Song Yi's shoulder with the fan in his hand, and said while knocking, "When Lan Caidie and I were close friends when we were in the capital, you said I caught him, so why did you say I caught her? For money? I have so much more money than Uncle Lan, why do I need such a little money or sex? I have so much money and what kind of beauty can't find?"

"Young Master Zhao, I didn't say that you captured Miss Lan, please don't take the right seat." Song Yi flashed the fan that had more than ten princes.

"I'm right? You said I took Miss Lan away. As for why I knew Miss Lan would come back safely, it was because I knew Lan Caidie. She was not a person who would make her suffer. She would definitely not let herself have something to do. If she was caught, the other party would definitely suffer."

"Yes, yes, Caidie has never given up since she was a child. She will definitely not let herself suffer losses, and she will definitely not let herself suffer losses." Mrs. Lan, who had not spoken at this time, stood up and spoke, walking to the side of the Tenth Prince, "Young Master Zhao, you are so familiar with Caidie, and you are so familiar with her temper and nature. What is your relationship?"

Song Yi originally wanted to say that he would not admit defeat and not let himself suffer losses. This was different from being taken away by a bad person, but after Mrs. Lan asked such a question, he also wanted to know the answer, and followed everyone to look at the Tenth Prince, quietly waiting for his answer to see if it was the same as the answer in his heart.

The Tenth Prince shook his fan and smiled, "Originally, I wanted to propose marriage like Uncle Lan. It would be better for a woman like Caidie to be a wife, but I don't really want to marry, so I worship Caidie as a sworn brother and sister. Yesterday we agreed that today I came to see Uncle Lan with gifts, and I could also hold an incense table and hold a swornship ceremony. I didn't expect Caidie to encounter such a thing today. It was really surprising."

When he said the last ten princes, he sighed with emotion.

"Mr. Song." Song Ci walked out from the side, "Mr. Lan.

"How is Miss Cousin's injury? Did you wake up?"

Song Cigong bowed and said, "Reporting to the master, Miss Cousin's injury is not serious. It's just an ordinary skin injury, but she hasn't fallen into a coma. I believe it's just a shock and will wake up later."

"Then have you found any clues?" Song Yi continued to ask.

Song Ci showed a small piece of grass stick in front of the world, "This is hidden behind the golden hairpin of Miss Cousin. The maid did not notice it when she cleaned up Miss Cousin."

"What can a straw stick tell me?" The Tenth Prince said without cutting it.

"The grass stick is half green and half deep purple and nearly black, and is a wild grass growing near the Yizhuang Village. But the maid told me that Miss Cousin found fainting in the woods in the west of the city, and the Yizhuang Village is in the east of the city. How did the grass in the east of the city run behind Miss Cousin's golden hairpin?" Song Ci explained, "So we have reason to believe that the murderer accidentally fell on Miss Cousin's head, so the murderer must have been to the Yizhuang Village."

Song Ci was so confident that even the Tenth Prince thought it was a bit credible. "Then just go and ask the people in the charity village to see who saw the suspicious people."

Song Yi immediately ordered Captain Nie to take people to ask, while the other party returned to the yamen. As for the Tenth Prince, of course, he stayed to wait for news.

At the same time, in the cave, Taomi's hands and feet were helped to sit on the ground. A man in black was standing in front of him. He stared at Taomi tightly and didn't say anything. Then he sneered, "It's worthy of being a lady from all over the world. His determination is so powerful that he is already at a disadvantage, and he is not in a hurry at all."

"Is it useful to be anxious? It's not that you'll let me go if I'm anxious."

"You are right. No matter how anxious you are, I will not let you go. The man in black sneered again, and then squatted in front of Taomi, "You Lan family has a lot of wealth. I want to borrow it for use. I would like to ask you Miss Lan for help."

As he said that, he reached out to pull off the golden hairpin from Taomi's head, "You are a woman like you, who is rude and rude, why should you bring such good jewelry?"

"I don't deserve it, are you worth it?" She dared to take things on her body casually, but she was really desperate. Seeing that the man in black had already had a finger on his tail, he curled up the corner of his mouth and continued, "You can use this golden hairpin to threaten my father, but you have to make sure that my golden hairpin must be complete. I don't want my things to be broken by someone like you."

"A person like me?" The man in black held the golden hairpin tightly, "Which kind of person am I? I'm most annoying to you to divide me out. Your hearts are obviously dark, but you have to meet people with hypocritical faces. I am just acting in my heart, and I am much more open and upright than you."

As he said that, the golden hairpin turned into powder under the man's hands, fell from his palm, and fell to the ground, "Your golden hairpin is gone, it's gone, I've ruined it. What can you do to me? Haha..."

The man in black laughed to the sky, reached out to grab the purse on Taomi's waist and walked away from the cave. He thought he was going to use the purse as a token to threaten Lan Tao and Mrs. Lan.

Her gold hairpin is poisonous, will the purse used for silver be unpoisoned?

"Why don't you run away? Are you willing to keep it in this dark cave?" Mimi said, pinching her nose, and it was dark here, and there was a strange smell, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"How can I play after I run away?" She dared to hit her head, but she wanted to see how many lives the person had for her to enjoy.

Mimi instantly drooped her head, "Then you play slowly by yourself. I can't stand it anymore. This is too smelly."

As he said that, Mimi entered the space. Taomi sniffed it carefully, but it smelled very smelly, as if it was rotten. She stood up and walked into the hole. There was no light in the hole. Taomi took out a flashlight from the space, but she didn't expect that she would see such a bloody picture.

The sheep was lying on the ground, and its body was incompletely bitten. Is it only a little related to the body? There are similar animals next to it, and the blood has dried up.

Taomi went out without looking at it. Seeing the miserable appearance of those animals, it didn’t seem to be brought by people. So are there animals that are more powerful than sheep and cattle?

Taoyuan County is just a small county town. What powerful animals can be found here?

Tiger? Lion?

I haven't heard of it, but this cave is undoubtedly its residence.

On the other hand, Captain Nie went to the Yizhuang Village and asked Uncle Gui if he had seen any suspicious people appear. Uncle Gui said he had not seen any suspicious people appear. Today, those who came to the Yizhuang Village either came to worship or brought the body to bury them.

"Master, have you seen any people you don't know? They didn't come into the Yizhuang, but passed by the place with huge profits near the Yizhuang?" Song Ci continued.

"I really don't know. You also know that Wanlicao is behind the charity village. I don't usually leave the charity village, so how could I notice it? Even if I have me, I didn't notice it." Uncle Gui said helplessly, "You said that Wanlicao, is there any problem with Wanlicao?"

"I found the branches and leaves of the wild grass in Ms. Lan's cousin's golden hairpin. Master, you also know that the wild grass is only available near our Yizhuang Village, but there is no other place. Sometimes Miss Cousin is found in the west of the city. Naturally, it is impossible for Miss Cousin to get the east and west by herself, so we think it is very likely that someone who has been to the Yizhuang Village and passed by the wild grass." Song Ci explained.
