Chapter 491

"Oh...this is..."

Speaking of this, Mou Long's eyes flashed, he thought for a while and said,

"Isn't this Gu Sanye's batch of goods arrived? Our eighth master wanted to pick out some good things for the young lady to make jewelry, so he sent the little one over to have a look. Who knew that when we arrived at Gu's house, we didn't see the third master..."

"Oh...is that so, you haven't seen Third Young Master Gu?"

Mu Long's eyes flashed when he heard the words,
"Why...Master Duan is also looking for Mr. Gu?"

Duan Xiongfei laughed,
"Well... I figured he should come here too. I wanted to invite him to drink, so I sent someone to ask, and said that he didn't come to Tongzhou..."

Mou Long smiled and pretended to believe his nonsense, nodded and said,

"Yeah, it's just so strange. When I left the city, I went to the Gu's family to ask about it. They said that the third master and the Gu family's uncle had come to Tongzhou earlier, but they didn't see anyone here. I was just wondering..."

After a pause, he asked Duan Xiongfei,
"Master Duan really didn't see Mr. Gu?"

He came to look for the young lady, but if he couldn't find the young lady, how dare he go back to see the eighth master?
Yesterday he had a drink with that Duan Xiongfei, and he found out a lot. Duan Xiongfei really didn't know where Gu San was, and the young lady probably didn't know that he was no longer in the Gu family's house.

Duan Xiongfei thought for a while and waved his hands,
"It's okay... I will let them know. I will say that Jin Yiwei followed up the wire report, saying that Jiang Yang's bandit has sneaked into the city. Jin Yiwei is looking for suspicious people to catch Jiang Yang's bandit..."

"Yes!"

"Oh……"

Since the warehouse hadn't arrived, Steward Sun never showed up, and no one was suspicious.
"Our housekeeper is enthusiastic. Knowing that the Gu family still has a house in the city, there is also a housekeeper in that house, so we sent the letter there, but the steward over there also had a bitter face, saying that he had sent the letter to the capital. , but he hasn’t seen the master coming, and he can’t deal with it casually. He just gave the money to the old woman, and let the old woman take care of it. Everything will be discussed when the master arrives..."

"I can't say... Didn't there be news from the capital, saying that the emperor's dragon body is slightly ill, and all the officials in the court are uneasy, and it may be that something will happen!"

"Search! Give me a door-to-door search!"

"That's weird!"

"You're talking about the goods of the Gu family. Usually, the third son of the capital comes here in person..."

The men of the Cao Gang were taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at the man who was speaking aside, the man said,
"Our master's library is adjacent to the Gu's. One night before, the night watchman heard the noise next door bang bang bang bang for a while, and then it died down. The night watchman was too timid to go to see it. He went to take pictures the next day. There was no response from the door..."

Someone else came to report,

When he came out of the inn, he went to the vicinity of Tongzhou Wharf first. Due to the booming freight here, the surrounding inns and restaurants were still full of people even late at night. If you want to inquire about news, you must go here!
Mou Long had been to this place with Mou Biao before, and wandered around here and there. He came to a tavern called Wan Ke Lai, and he was greeted by someone when he entered. He chose a corner and sat down, and called a A pot of wine, a plate of peanuts, a plate of spiced dried tofu, this box of peanuts and dried tofu is just wine, and he ate it mouthful. Eat while listening to people talk.

It stands to reason that the storehouses of each family must be guarded by someone. Even if the two families are adjacent to each other, they also deal with each other on weekdays. The storekeeper should not knock on the door. I was puzzled, so I casually told my family about it. The steward, and the steward got on good terms with the steward grandson, so he stopped by his small courtyard to inquire, but he didn't expect to go there to inquire. The steward grandson heard that someone had injured his head and was unconscious on the bed He didn't wake up, his little friend didn't know if he hooked up with the guy next to him, he rolled up and ran away, and now there is only one woman who looks after the gate in the yard, because she has nowhere to go, she is there to take care of the master.

The waiter raised his brows when he heard the words, and led him in with a quick smile. When Mou Long arrived at the counter, he saw the old shopkeeper who was squinting and making plans, and the waiter said beside him,

Mou Long looked puzzled, and Duan Xiongfei and Duan Xiongfei stared at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes.
It seems...he doesn't know either!

The old shopkeeper looked him up and down, nodded, stretched out his hand and said,

"This... my lord, if you look for someone like this, I'm afraid it will be too shocking..."

The old shopkeeper raised his eyebrows and looked up at him, Mou Long nodded,
"I want the best room, two taels of silver a night..."

According to Mou Long's speculation, the Young Madam and the others probably sensed that something was wrong and hid first, but where would they hide?
This Tongzhou city is neither big nor small. The most important thing is that there are many people coming and going from south to north, people are mixed, and there are too many boats coming in and out of the wharf. To put it bluntly, it is him alone, that is, all the people in this yamen If you move out, you may not be able to find people!
How can I find my young lady?
Mou Long was also anxious,
"Now that the situation in the capital is uncertain, Ba Ye can't spare his hands to take care of this side, and that Duan Xiongfei... Ba Ye told me when he was leaving the city that Duan Xiongfei belonged to Xu Yi, and now that Xu Yi is going to kill him, he doesn't know." I didn't get any news, and I don't know if he has a ulterior motive. The less people know about the young lady, the better. I will slowly search in the city..."

After thinking about it, I ordered,

So the members of the Gu family have never shown up?
The men of the Cao Gang are also strange,
"Is there something wrong with the Gu family?"

"After unloading, I went directly to the warehouse. I don't know what happened to the Gu family this time. I sent a messenger there, but they never came to pick up the goods!"

And that Moulong ran out of the city for ten miles at a stretch. In a place called Wulongpo, on a street with few shops, there was an inn called Tongshun, and Moulong rode there. , got off the horse in front of the door, a waiter came up to meet him and said with a smile,

This Tongzhou is the entrance and exit of the capital, because the distance between the two places is not far, many people leave here early in the morning, rest here, drink tea and leave, but there are very few people staying in the shop, but Mou Long is soundtrack,
"Stay in store!"

"My lord, the Cao Gang's batch of goods has arrived, but Gu San has not been seen. Now the things are in the Cao Gang's warehouse, and no one can move them!"

Two tables away from him, there are a few men from the Cao Gang who are eating and talking, and they look like the coolies unloading the goods. The four of them ordered a pot of the cheapest dirty wine, and a plate of peanuts and a plate of beans just like him. Dry, eating small bites, someone asked,
"Old man, have you finished unloading your ship?"

Thinking together, the two of them frowned,
Where did Gu San'er go?
Several people ate the wine for two hours, Mou Long and Duan Xiongfei tested each other, but they didn't find out the whereabouts of Si Lian and Gu San from each other. He wanted to go back to report to Mou Biao, so he stayed in Gu's house for one night, and left Tongzhou City early the next morning. Duan Xiongfei accepted the report and murmured to himself,
"It seems that he really doesn't know..."

"Shopkeeper, this guest officer wants to stay in the shop..."

The man from the Cao Gang was talking, and the people at the next table heard it, but he was also a coolie on the pier to make a living. Hearing the words,
"Don't you know, it seems that something happened to the Curry of the Gu family..."

"Yeah, our bosses have been asking for a long time. If the Gu family's goods are not taken away, the goods that come later will probably go to the warehouse next to us. We brothers are paid by the piece, and the goods can't get off the ship. We couldn't earn any money, and the gang leader was so annoyed that he sent someone to Gu's house three times a day to inquire, but the person in charge only said that he didn't know why the master didn't come!"

So Jin Yiwei spread his hands around looking for people.

Mou Long sent a letter to his master in the capital city, turned around and killed a carbine, and turned back to Tongzhou City. This time he was disguised and stayed outside the city until it was almost dark before entering the city. After entering the city, he first found an inn to open a room, but changed clothes in the room, and got out through the window.

Duan Xiongfei was very anxious when he heard this,
"His grandma's, it can't be eaten right now, isn't this going to kill me?"

"Is it?"

"Guest officer, is this for dinner or tea?"

Mou Long nodded, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to the old shopkeeper. The old shopkeeper nodded with two fingers, and turned his wrist, and the letter disappeared instantly. The second led him to eat in the hall, and his horse was led to the back to be fed. After eating, he went to the back to lead the horse, but he went out through the back door. The horse turned around and headed for Tongzhou City.

Jin Yiwei is not the only yamen in Tongzhou, let the other yamen know, it's hard to explain this matter.

Duan Xiongfei shook his head,
"I really didn't see it!"

"Guest officer, we have a rule here, you need to deposit ten taels of silver to live in Tianzi No. [-] room..."

"Oh……"

"How could it be... Isn't Your Majesty just at the peak of his age, what will happen if these sons are born one after another!"

Everyone in the wine shop was talking about it. Mou Long listened to it in the middle of the night, but there was no useful news. After drinking a pot of wine, he turned around and went to the Gu family's warehouse. The donkey had been taken away by Si Lian and the others long ago. Mou Long climbed over the wall and went in to look around, but he could see traces of fighting in the house, yard, and storehouse, as well as a little blood on the ground. His heart skipped a beat. ,
"It seems that someone fought here, but it should have been cleaned up!"

He jumped up to the beam again, and saw that there was a trace of a rope being strangled on the dusty beam. He jumped down again to look down, and he knew it in his heart. The courtyard was deserted and deserted. When he entered, the woman was sleeping and snoring loudly, but Guanshi Sun was unconscious on the bed, like a living dead.

Mou Long went over to touch several acupuncture points on his body, and immediately realized that this was Mama Wang's technique.
"Mother Wang's technique was passed down from the Western Regions, and ordinary people from the Jianghu in the Central Plains can't understand it at all!"
