Chapter 179 Jia Youqian Disappears
Chapter 179 Jia Youqian disappeared.
Although what Ye Xing said was a bit exaggerated, Di Xiaojie and the others didn't object much. Anyway, when Jia Youqian comes back tonight, Ye Xing's conspiracy will be self-defeating.
It was already the end of October, and the weather was getting colder day by day. After Ye Xing and the others had dinner, they went back to their houses to rest, but Xiaodie looked restless. Seeing this, Di Xiaojie smiled Asked: "What are you thinking about?"
Xiaodie came back to her senses and said with some worry: "I have been a maid in Xiao Mansion for three years. I know very well what kind of person Xiao Tianque is. I'm afraid he won't let it go."
Di Xiaojie comforted him: "Don't worry about this. Now that we are staying in Qingyang County Government, who dares to do anything to us? Besides, Brother Ye's martial arts is so strong that few people can match him!"
Xiaodie smiled lightly after listening to Di Xiaojie's words, and her mood became much better. She just prayed that nothing would happen.
The night gradually deepened, and the autumn wind blew outside the window, breaking the branches on several big trees in the inner office. Ye Xing was lying on the bed and almost fell asleep, but at this moment, a strong wind blew. Suddenly the wind blew in, and Ye Xing felt a chill, so he immediately stood up and found that the window had been blown open by the wind, which made him feel a little relieved.
Ye Xing got out of bed and closed the window. The autumn wind outside the window made him shiver. Ye Xing finally reached the window. Just when he was about to close the window, he suddenly saw a figure flashing past the county government office.
Ye Xing was shocked. Who would come here at this time? Who is he? Ye Xing thought about it and quickly put on his clothes and chased him out. The man outside was dressed in black and now he was really running on the roof of the inner office.
When Ye Xing ran out, the man in black had disappeared. Ye Xing stood on the roof and smiled secretly. He used to go to visit other people's county offices, but now it was someone else's turn to visit his own county office.
Although this county government is not my own at this time!
Ye Xing looked up at the sky. The moon in the sky was covered by a layer of mist, and only the faint moonlight was revealed. The moonlight was so hazy that it seemed unreal.
When Ye Xing returned to the room again, he was completely sleepless. He felt that he had fallen into a game, but what role did he play in this game?
Who is the person who set up this situation, and what is his purpose for doing this?
The autumn wind outside the window was still very strong. When sleepiness hit, Ye Xing fell asleep unconsciously.
The weather the next day was not very good, with dense clouds and no rain, which made people feel depressed.
A sound of drums came from outside the county government office. After the government officials brought the drummer to the court, Ye Xing discovered that the drummer was Jia Si. When Ye Xing discovered Jia Si, he felt that something big had happened.
"Steward Jia, why are you beating the drum to express your grievance?" Ye Xing asked, looking at Jia Si who was kneeling in the hall.
Jia Si kowtowed and replied: "My master didn't come back all night. I was really worried, so I beat the drum rashly and asked Mr. Ye to help me find it."
"You mean Jia Youqian didn't come home all night?" Ye Xing asked in surprise.
"Yes, sir, my master has never stayed out overnight, but he didn't come back home last night!" Jia Si said quickly, maybe because he was too nervous, or because he was too worried about Jia Youqian's safety. .
Ye Xing and Di Xiaojie realized the seriousness of the matter at this time. Normally, it is impossible for a person like Jia Youqian to stay out all night. What happened to him?
Ye Xing thought for a long time and finally asked: "Where does your master like to go?"
"My master used to go to his own shop to check and supervise the servants when he had nothing to do. He never went to other places, and he never went to other places alone. But after eating at noon yesterday, he said He left home without saying anything, which made us very worried!"
Ye Xing nodded after listening to Jia Si's words, and then said: "In that case, don't worry, we will definitely find a way to find Jia Youqian, but you and the people in Jia's family must be attentive to my inquiries at any time. "
"That's for sure!" Jia Si replied quickly.
Ye Xing thought for a while, and then ordered Xu Ruoxuan and the others to draw a portrait of Jia Youqian and post it everywhere in Qingyang County, with an announcement: "Anyone who can find Jia Youqian will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver!"
After Ye Xing gave these instructions, he immediately took Hua Zhimeng to the Jia Mansion. The Jia Mansion was still the same as when Ye Xing and the others left, and it was still very luxurious.
Jia Si led Ye Xing and the others to Jia Youqian's room. Ye Xing and Hua Zhimeng rummaged back and forth in Jia Youqian's room, hoping to find some clues.
Judging from Jia Youqian's room, the room is very tidy. The shoes beside the bed are neatly placed. There is nothing messy or disharmonious about the arrangement. Ye Xing and Hua Zhimeng searched Jia Youqian's room. but found nothing, so they went to Jia Youqian's study.
There were not many books in the study, but there were quite a few expensive calligraphy and paintings. Ye Xing smiled faintly, Jia Youqian was also an arty person, but anyone who entered his study would know that the study was filled with the smell of copper.
But Ye Xing and the others didn't come here to see this. They took a closer look at the study and found that the things in the study were the same as those in Jia Youqian's bedroom. They were very neat.
"What did you find?" Hua Zhimeng asked with a smile.
"There is no sign of messiness in the two rooms, and the things here are neatly arranged. Presumably Jia was not in a hurry when he had money to go out, otherwise how could he keep this place so tidy!"
Hua Zhimeng nodded, these rooms were indeed very tidy, it didn't look like someone was leaving in a hurry.
But if Jia Youqian didn't leave in a hurry, why didn't he return all night?
Ye Xing and the others couldn't figure out this problem. They searched Jia's house carefully and found nothing.
"Where is your wife Alian?" Ye Xing remembered that when they first came to Jia's house, the somewhat gorgeous woman was named Alian.
"Madam is secretly worried in the room, I will lead you over right now!"
Jia Si hurriedly led Ye Xing and the others to Alian's room. At this time, Alian was crying like a tear. Although she was a little surprised when she saw Ye Xing, she calmly said a blessing.
After Ye Xing and Hua Zhimeng sat down, they began to ask: "Don't worry, we are here just to ask you a few questions. If you want Jia Youqian to be found quickly, answer my questions truthfully." .”
