Chapter 287
Half a month later, a dusty gray-robed man entered the side door of Li's mansion, visited Li Renyu (yu), and brought a piece of bad news.

"What? You said that the stepfather disappeared?"

Li Qinshi, who came in a hurry, raised his voice, and beside him was the study servant who didn't stop him.

"What are you shouting about! Are you afraid no one will hear you?"

Li Renyu said displeased.

Li Qinshi immediately gave a blessing, and then lowered his voice and asked:

"Master, what does this mean? Could it be that the ancestor went to another place?"

Li Renyu saw the anxious expression on his wife's face, so he didn't scold him any more, but nodded to the person who came, letting him continue talking.

"Master and Madam, I only found out that the young master has indeed gone to Jiangnan, but he has never looked for the cousin of the Wu family.

I deliberately went to the county town where the Wu family lived. After the master of the Wu family died of illness, he was buried after three more days. Because the young lady of the Wu family was rumored to have a lot of money, the servants of the Wu family were afraid that the young lady would be targeted by someone who wanted to, so they directly sold the small house with two entrances, set up a female household, and moved to Xiaozhuangzi to live there, saying that they would serve Wu Youcai there for three years.

The young one spent some money and went to the county government to check it out. Under Ms. Wu's name, now there is only one rice store, one front shop and the small hot spring village where she lives now. It is enough for self-sufficiency.

The younger one has inquired with the neighbors around Wu's house, from Wu Youcai's death to his burial, until Miss Wu left the old house, and now the house has been sold, and he has never seen a trace of Young Master Li, and no one like Young Master has ever visited the house to express his condolences. "

"What do the people I stay in Xiancheng say?"

Li Renyu asked directly, he only kept a family of three children there, and asked them to keep an eye on the Wu Mansion. He also wanted to keep a few more people, but money would not allow it.

If he knew that the family had followed Wu Youcai for three years, from the beginning of the day-to-day follow-up, until now he would only go to Wu's house for ten and a half months, just to put on a show, he would definitely faint from anger.

"The young one went to find them according to the address given by the master. They said that they had not received any news of the young master's entry into the city. Normally, the young master should have sent him a message when he arrived in the city. Li Youfu did not receive any news. He turned around and asked me if the young master changed his route."

Li Renyu frowned upon hearing this, while Li Qinshi on the side raised his heart, stepped forward and said:
"Master, I have been having nightmares for the past two days, do you think so?"

"Shut up, have you ever cursed your own parents and children like that?"

Li Renyu's face immediately pulled down, while the man in gray robe lowered his head even lower.

"Perhaps it was because the ancestor was greedy for fun and was delayed."

Li Renyu said in a low voice, which can be regarded as self-comfort.

"Li Shun, start from the capital and search again along the journey of your ancestors. Don't leave any clues. I don't believe that he will disappear out of thin air, and there are guards around him. If something unexpected happens, he will call for help."

After Li Renyu finished speaking, he took out a 100 tael bank note from his pocket and gave it to his subordinates.

"Find it out as soon as possible. If you really can't find it, report to the officials where the clues are broken."

"Yes, I'll do it when I'm young."

After receiving the investigation fee, Li Shun quickly left the study.

"Although Jizu loves to be playful on weekdays, he never dares to be so nonsense when it comes to business."

Li Qinshi justified his son's name.

"I know, so I'm going to send someone to Jiangnan again to inquire about the news directly from the Wu family. After all, they sent a funeral post according to the rules, and our Li family didn't even send a funeral manager. It seems that we don't know etiquette, and we have no position in trying to pinch that girl in the future."

Li Renyu said.

"The master said so!"

Li Qinshi echoed absent-mindedly, now she only cares about her son in her heart, how can she care about a little girl she has never met.

Hot Spring Villa

Zheng Escort of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau is still very powerful. Not long after Wu Zhong smoothed Zhuang Zi, he brought his mother and daughter to Zhuang Zi.

Wu Zhong knew at a glance that these two were female martial artists recruited by Escort Zheng, so he immediately let the three of them into the hall, and then went to inform his lady.

At this time, Lianyi had finished taking the medicated bath, made a set of Sanduanjin, changed her dress, and was eating breakfast. After listening to Wu Zhong's report, she finished the rice porridge in the bowl, wiped the corners of her lips, and went to the front hall to meet the guests.

Escort Zheng was whispering something to the two mothers and daughters when he saw a girl enter the front hall surrounded by the housekeeper and maids, and immediately got up and cupped her hands and said:
"I'm Zheng Tong, I met Miss Wu's family!"

The well-dressed mother and daughter next to him also saluted and said hello, but they didn't introduce themselves.

"Thank you, Escort Zheng, for making a trip, but he found a suitable master for me."

Ripple said with a smile.

"Exactly, this time I was lucky enough to find the widow and daughter of my old friend. They also just wanted to quit the escort business. I told them about Miss's request, and they came with me, wanting to meet Miss first."

Zheng Tong is very tactful, and he explained the situation in a few words. Letting the two parties meet is also allowing the two parties to choose each other.

The older woman saw that Lianyi turned her gaze to the mother and daughter, so she stood up first and bowed her hands in a quack salute before she spoke:

"It is revealed below that her husband's family name is Zhou, and this is the youngest daughter, Zhou Minmin. We are all bodyguard masters. The late husband and Zheng's bodyguard are brothers. It was only two years ago when he was in the bodyguards. In order to protect the master of the master's house, my husband was seriously injured. Only our mother and daughter are left.

I took my daughter and walked darts for two years, but each time the money was not much, and my daughter was too old, so it was not suitable for me to go with the darts. I also accumulated some money in my hand, and with the money from the pension of my deceased husband, I could also buy a house and land, but we were only two after all, so I wanted to find a reliable master to rely on.

It happened that senior brother Zheng knew our plan, so he recommended Miss Wu's family here, so we left the bodyguard agency under the pretext of meeting the young lady with senior brother. "

Lianyi took a look, the mother and daughter were both capable and neat in appearance, and Mrs. Wen spoke very simply. She was not beautiful, but she also had a heroic spirit. The daughter beside her, who was about the same height as her, probably inherited her father's appearance.

"My little girl, Zhou Minmin, has met Miss Wu's family."

Zhou Minmin bowed her hands and saluted after her mother's words fell behind.

"You don't need to be too polite. Presumably, Escort Zheng has also mentioned my situation. I want to hire a female martial arts master, not only because I want to learn some kung fu to protect myself, but also because I am a woman, and it is better to have a female bodyguard around me."

"Yes, Escort Zheng basically explained everything to us."

Lady Wen nodded.

"I want to see your abilities first, and then decide on your rewards, okay?"

"nature!"

Wen Lu responded straightforwardly, they practiced martial arts relying on their ability to make a living, even if the Miss Wu family didn't say it, she would bring it up herself.

"My late husband learned the internal boxing technique. Minmin inherited her father's strength. The boxing technique is exquisite, and it is also suitable for going with the young lady to some occasions where there are many female relatives. I learned the flower sword technique, which is light and fast, suitable for the outer guard."
