Chapter 10 People go to the empty building

"Is it going to rain?" Cheng Muyou walked to the window and looked at the dark clouds rolling in the air. "However, the weather changes, it's still fine just now."

Jiang Xixi stood beside him, watching the dark clouds pressing towards the low altitude like a market, "It seems that there will be heavy rain. Sir, you should rest early. It's already ugly now, and it's not many hours before dawn. We will go to Liu Dahu's house tomorrow morning."

A bright white lightning flashed through the air, illuminating Cheng Muyou's face. Jiang Xixi noticed the fleeting uneasiness on his face and hurriedly asked with wide eyes, "Sir, are you worried?"

Cheng Muyou looked at the dark clouds that were pressing down from the window, "Along the way, we inquire about it, but we didn't find out about Shi Fei and Shi Jin. I just asked the inn guys to talk to him and asked him if he had seen two yamen runners from other places recently. He also said he had never seen them before. So, I had a particularly bad premonition, that is, Shi Fei and Shi Jin might have really encountered an unexpected situation. Looking at the good side, the two of them might be trapped in some place and cannot escape. If they think about the bad side," he suddenly raised his head and looked at Jiang Xixi with deep eyes, "Xixi, I really don't dare to think about it."

Jiang Xixi was panicked. Cheng Muyou in her eyes always looked confident when encountering things. She had never seen him show pessimism along the way, but now she heard his words, she was quite discouraged, so she suddenly became nervous, "Sir, what should we do? Should we go to Liu Dahu now? After hearing what you said, I am so worried. What if something really happened to them, then what would be good?"

Cheng Muyou shook his head in thought, "It's been a few days, and it's not a few hours. It will definitely cause a lot of noise when rushing over in the middle of the night. This county is not big. If there is any leak of any news, it may be even more unfavorable to them."

Jiang Xixi nodded, "Sir, think carefully, then take advantage of the present and sleep for a while. There may be a tough battle tomorrow." After saying that, she took out a small white porcelain bottle, "This is Ping An ointment. The master has instructed him to apply it to the affected area every day, and apply it for two months to heal the arm injury. However, I see its effect, but it is far from Miss Yan's medicine. Master Wu also said that it is a good thing for other countries to pay tribute and is extremely rare."

Cheng Muyou glanced at the porcelain bottle indifferently, "Let's leave it here, although it's simple, there's a bed to sleep at least. You can go back to your room and rest early."

Jiang Xixi bowed and left the room. Cheng Muyou picked up the medicine bottle on the table and was about to open it, but he heard a muffled thunder rolling from the northwest with a stance of destroying everything, resounding across the sky. He thought the raindrops would fall immediately, but until the medicine was applied, there was still lightning and thunder outside, and half of the rain had not fallen.

As soon as dawn the next day, Cheng Muyou and the other four came outside Liu Dahu's house. Xu Ziming originally insisted on following him, but Cheng Muyou frankly told him that with his current physical condition, not only would he not be able to help, but would become a burden to them. Xu Ziming listened to his words the most, so he stayed in the inn obediently and calmly recuperated.

The Liu family courtyard covers an area of ​​about one acre. From the outside of the courtyard, the entire courtyard is majestic and tall, neat and dignified. The two proud lions standing at the door show the owner's aura.

group.

Jiang Xixi looked at the two red lanterns hanging at the door, whispered, "Sir, this Liu family is really eye-catching. Such a grand yard has been built in such a dilapidated small county town."

Cheng Muyou looked at the lanterns like Jiang Xixi, but his eyes were attracted by a layer of dust half of fingers on it. "The Liu family compound was built so majestic, but why does the lantern in front of the door seem to have not been replaced for a few days?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xixi also came to his senses, "Yes, sir, aren't the people from the Liu family here? They are all traveling far away?"

Just as he was thinking, an old man holding a cart came over to the north. There were a few pieces of tofu covered with white cloth in the car. While shouting the words "Selling tofu" loudly, he walked towards the Liu family. When he came to the gate of the yard, he saw a few people standing in front of the door. The old man stopped and wiped the sweat above his head, "What are you doing around the door of the Liu family?"

Jiang Xixi was afraid that he would see through his identity, so he quickly walked forward with Xiaoxiao, "Old man, we are relatives from a distant family in the Liu family. We have been here all the way to find relatives."

The old man looked up and down the few people, stroked his white beards, "Looking for relatives? I think you are going to get water in vain. More than 20 people from the Liu family have been missing for many days, and the county magistrate can't find them everywhere. How can you find them?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xixi was shocked, "All the Liu family are missing."

The old man who sold tofu grabbed a few handfuls behind his neck and said carelessly, "No, they have been missing for more than half a month. The neighbors of his family have not seen anyone come out of the Liu family's courtyard for a few days, so they came in to check. Who knew that there was no trace of a person in the yard. By the way, there was still food on the table in the Liu family. When the neighbors found it, they were all rotten. It was obviously stored for several days. Also, the clothes and supplies in the house were all well placed, and the door was not tied. It was obvious that the Liu family had not prepared for the far door at all. It was a good house, everything was there, and the person was gone. Do you think it was strange?"

"Has the county magistrate found no one?" Jiang Xixi asked anxiously.

The old man shook his head, "The neighbor thought something was wrong with the Liu family, so he reported to the official that day. However, our county magistrate sent a yamen runner to the county for a few days, but he didn't find anyone, so he thought that they might have gone far away. Because they were walking too fast, they didn't prepare anything." Speaking of this, the old man spitted at the side of the road, "What do you mean by saying this? Even the old Baiding, who sold tofu, knows that the matter of the Liu family is not that simple, but the county magistrate has only searched for a few days and then closed the case. It's such a fool. I heard that in those days, he had just welcomed the new aunt to the door and was stuck in the gentle village and couldn't get out. How could he take into account the affairs of us ordinary people?"

After hearing his scolding, Cheng Muyou asked softly, "I heard from you that Liu Dahu's family has a good reputation in Liaoyang County, so everyone regrets him."

The old man glanced at him, "It seems that you are really distant relatives and don't have much contact with each other. Although Liu Chengmao is a businessman, he has always been honest and honest. No matter how big the business is, he has never forgotten his duty."
