Chapter 44 Self-blame
Mu Xiang is a glutton, and it's her first time in the capital.

She heard about the delicious food in the capital from other places, so she wanted to buy it for Luo Xiyao to taste.

Before Luo Xiyao left Pingcheng Luo Mansion, not only did she get back her mother's dowry, she also got 10 taels of silver from her second aunt.

Her purse bulged, and Wang Momo and Mu Xiang were also full.

In the previous life, Mu Xiang died so badly because of her, but in this life, Luo Xiyao just wants to pamper this silly girl and make her happy every day.

Of course, every time Mu Xiang goes out, Hong Ming's staff secretly follow her.

The capital is no better than Pingcheng, how could Luo Xiyao have no arrangements?
However, Hong Ming said that Mu Xiang was gone.

Hong Ming knelt down on one knee, "Early in the morning, Mu Xiang went to buy the meatloaf at Dongxiangkou. When she came back, she met someone arguing and scolding, which attracted a lot of people. Just when the subordinates wanted to take Mu Xiang When it was brought out, a group of funeral procession came, and then Mu Xiang disappeared, leaving only crushed meatloaf on the ground."

Luo Xiyao's brows were full of evil spirits, "Who are the people arguing and where do they live? Whose family is the funeral procession? Have they left the city? Where are they buried..."

Hong Ming lowered his head and said: "This subordinate has asked someone to investigate."

"After Mu Xiang disappeared, your people followed immediately?"

"Yes. There was only one person following Mu Xiang secretly. When he found out that it was not good, he immediately sent a message with a secret whistle and left marks along the way. After the subordinates met with him, they all dispersed except for those who protected Nine Girls. "

Luo Xiyao stood up, "Where did Mu Xiang disappear, you take me there immediately."

"What's the matter?" Wang Momo saw Luo Xiyao's gloomy expression as soon as she came out.

Luo Xiyao is still rational, "Mu Xiang is gone, Madam Wang guards the yard, and if there is any news, let me know immediately."

"If I don't come back, the gate of Tao Ranju will not be opened."

"Hong Ming, get someone to arrange a horse right away, and we'll go on horseback."

Wang Momo stomped her feet and trotted to catch up with Luo Xiyao, "Girl, horses are not allowed in the capital, you..."

"Don't worry, Mommy, I know. The purpose of riding a horse is to get out of the city." Luo Xiyao held Wang Momma's cold and rough hand, "Don't worry, I will definitely bring Mu Xiang back safely. Mommy, you must remember that if I If something happens, Helan Linzhang or Hongming will be brought back, as for anyone else, no matter what they say, don’t believe it, and wait for me to come back.”

She just entered the palace yesterday, and Mu Xiang disappeared today, this is definitely not a coincidence.

No matter who it is, there must be someone behind.

Otherwise, what's the use of catching a little girl?

Wang Momo nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, girl, I'm not going anywhere, I'll just wait here for the girl to come back."

"it is good."

Luo Xiyao led the horse and stood at the entrance of the alley, looking at the old couple selling meatloaf, and then at the surrounding shops.

Hong Ming has already brought over the people who followed Mu Xiang, "Girl, he is Jia Liu."

Luo Xiyao looked at Jia Liu, "Tell me what happened at that time in detail, and don't miss a single bit."

"After Muxiang bought the meatloaf, she hugged the meatloaf in her arms. When she ran there, a thin man came out, and soon a shorter man came out and threw him down. After the two argued, they came again. many people……"

"Are they all carrying things like baskets?" Luo Xiyao asked.

Jia Liu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No. They are all empty-handed, they didn't take anything."

Without waiting for Luo Xiyao to speak, Jia Liu said again: "The funeral procession is very ordinary, the coffin is being carried, even when arguing with the people blocking the road, the coffin did not fall to the ground."

The coffin lid made a lot of noise when it moved, and Mu Xiang was so big, it was impossible for him to lose sight of being fainted in the coffin.

So he chased after them, just to find out the identities of these people. Jia Liu didn't think that Mu Xiang was taken out of the city by the funeral procession.

"What did the chaser find?"

Jia Liudao: "The people who are arguing are Chen Shan and Wang Shitou from Yuwei Lane. They are both water sellers, and sometimes they help people carry goods outside the city. They have always had conflicts. According to the people in Yuwei Lane , They had disputes every three days, and sometimes there was blood. The person in the funeral procession of the Song family rice store, the person who died was the old lady of the Song family. The old lady Song was six out of seventy. It happens to be the day of the funeral."

They hadn't entered Beijing three days ago, so the Song family's affairs were not aimed at them.

At first, Luo Xiyao thought that the person was transported out of the city in a coffin by funeral people, but Jia Liu said that the coffin never landed.But Wang Shitou and the others didn't bring anything that could pretend to be a person, that is to say, they didn't take Mu Xiang away.

"When Muxiang disappeared, where was the meatloaf? When the chaos started, which shop was it in front of? Most of the stalls in this alley were selling Korean food. What is the relationship between the shops behind them and what they sell? Go check it out right away! See if there is any family that is related to someone in the palace!" Luo Xiyao narrowed her eyes, "When Jia Liu went after him, did anyone keep an eye on him?"

Jia Liu immediately understood the mistake he made. He was about to kneel when Hong Ming stopped him.

Hong Ming sternly said: "I don't even look where this is!"

"This subordinate made a mistake, this subordinate..."

"Okay." Luo Xiyao interrupted his self-blame, "Now is not the time to find out who is right and who is wrong. Finding someone is more important than anything else! Hong Ming, go and check the shops in this alley yourself."

"Yes!" Without saying a word, Hong Ming handed the horse to Jia Liu, and the man quickly disappeared.

Jia Liu was ashamed to death, holding a horse with one hand, and stood silently behind Luo Xiyao.

I killed her.

Luo Xiyao couldn't help but blame herself.

The capital is the land of the second prince, and Mrs. Su took Su Jiayan to seek medical treatment in the capital. It was so dangerous, why did she let only one person follow Mu Xiang?

She was careless.

She shouldn't have teamed up with Helan Linzhang, so she lost her vigilance.

Looking high on yourself and looking down on your opponents is digging your own grave!
Just hope it's in time.

No, it must be in time.

If the attacker wanted to warn her, it would be most convenient to kill Mu Xiang directly.

Since it was just kidnapped, there was still something to ask for.

If you want something, that's fine.

She has time to rescue Mu Xiang.

Beijing is hotter than Pingcheng.

As the sun rose, Luo Xiyao's position lost its shade.

Thick sweat floated on her forehead.

When He Lan came to Linzhang, there was also a look of worry between his eyebrows, "You don't look very good, find a place to sit and drink a cup of herbal tea. Don't worry, if no one finds you, you will fall down first."

Luo Xiyao nodded: "Okay."

He knew that if she cared about it, she would be in chaos, so why did he ask Hong Ming to check?It's just the background of these merchants, why not just ask him?

Fortunately, Hongming still knows how to send the letter to him, otherwise I don't know how long it will take.

Helan Linzhang asked for a private room in the teahouse, and then called a scribe, "This is Mr. Sui."

Mr. Sui greeted Luo Xiyao, but Luo Xiyao didn't take it too seriously, and immediately got up to return the salute, "Mr. Sui is good."

"Miss Nine." Mr. Sui didn't talk too much, and immediately took out a booklet to check the background of the merchants in the alley. "The most suspicious ones are the mutton soup shop and the dim sum shop. These two shops belong to the same family as Cheng Engong. The family is related to the second prince's concubine."
