"Yes, yes, since the magistrate is not here to arrest the boss of the Xiang family, we can go there with peace of mind."

Everyone hurriedly complained to Yan Zhongting and left.

Yan Zhongting glanced at Xiang Zirun and Su Kefang, and smiled: "The folks are so kind."

Not only is he kind-hearted, but he is also very protective of the couple.

Su Kefang smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Yes, the folks are very kind!"

Back in the hall, Yan Zhongting asked about what happened the night before, and after learning the cause and effect of the incident, he sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that Qin family to be so vicious!"

The same kind of rice feeds all kinds of people. The comparison between Qin's viciousness and the kindness of those folks just now is really embarrassing.

Yan Zhongting came here on a routine matter, and didn't mention anything about Xiang Zirun's handling of the Qin family, and left after asking.

Xiang Zirun and Su Kefang couldn't keep him, so they sent him out of the yard.

Before Yan Zhongting got into the carriage, he saw a government servant riding a horse from the direction of the village entrance.

"grown ups--"

The yamen servant stopped his horse, jumped off, and walked quickly to Yan Zhongting.

"How is it?" Seeing this yamen servant, Yan Zhongting's expression turned serious.

"My lord, I saw wheel marks on the edge of the cliff, but I didn't see any carriages around. I think it must have fallen to the bottom of the cliff." The yamen servant said, "I asked along the way, just before it got dark the day before yesterday. At the foot of the mountain seven or eight miles away from the cliff, someone once heard the voice of 'help'."

Because it was a matter of the government, Su Kefang didn't take it seriously, but Xiang Zirun's eyebrows twitched and he asked, "Master Yan, what happened?"

Yan Zhongting paused, and then said: "When we passed by Tougou Town this morning, we met a woman who was looking for her child. I sent a yamen servant to help in the search. Later, we found that woman not far from the cliff. The child was found, but unexpectedly, an adult man's shoe was also found on the edge of the cliff."

Seeing that there was no one else around, Yan Zhongting directly told Xiang Zirun what he had discovered.

"Master Yan, can I have a look at those shoes?" Xiang Zirun asked forcibly suppressing the ominous premonition in his heart.

"Of course." Yan Zhongting glanced at the yamen servant beside him, and the yamen servant understood, took out a paper bag from his body and opened it.

Seeing the shoe, Xiang Zirun narrowed his eagle eyes, and the next second the cloth shoe fell into his hands.

Su Kefang was taken aback by his sudden action, and subconsciously looked at the shoes in his hand.

Seeing this, Su Kefang's heart skipped a beat, and he exclaimed, "Aren't these the second uncle's shoes?"

The whole family's clothes were bought by her, so she recognized the shoes.

But how did the second uncle's shoes fall on the edge of the cliff?

Wait, just now the yamen servant said that a carriage fell into the cliff, could it be the second uncle?

Su Kefang looked at Xiang Zirun in surprise, anxiety and fear.

Xiang Zirun held the cloth shoe in his hand, and asked Yan Zhongting with a stern expression, "Master Yan, where did you find this shoe on the cliff?"

He knew that there were two cliffs outside Tougou Town.

Yan Zhongting didn't quite know the geographical location of Tougou Town, so he couldn't help but look at the yamen servant beside him, and the yamen servant immediately said, "My lord, it's the cliff in the southwest direction."

"My lord, lend me the horse!" Without waiting for Yan Zhongting's response, Xiang Zirun snatched the rein from a servant, flew on the horse, and galloped towards the southwest outside Tougou Town.

This is not the direction to Shengjing. Did Xiang'er drive the carriage to the cliff on purpose, or was there some other accident?
Xiang Zirun has too many doubts in his heart, but now he is most worried about his brother's safety.

Seeing that Yan Zhongting was going to the southwest direction outside Tougou Town, Su Kefang said anxiously: "Master Yan, I will go with you too!"

May this all be just a coincidence!

"Okay, I'll take the carriage for you."

It is very likely that the Xiang family fell into the cliff. Yan Zhongting had no reason to refuse Su Kefang to go with him, and gave her the carriage, while he himself got on the horse brought by his men, and the group also headed towards the cliff southwest of Tougou Town. rushed off.

The cliff was not far away, and Xiang Zirun soon reached the edge of the cliff. When he checked the surrounding traces, his heart seemed to fall to the bottom of the cliff.

Judging from all the signs, it was obvious that someone used internal force to shake the carriage off the bottom of the cliff!

When Su Kefang rushed to the cliff, he saw Xiang Zirun standing facing the cliff, jumped out of the carriage and rushed over, and asked anxiously, "Zirun, how is it, second uncle, is everything okay?"

Seeing that he was silent, but was holding the shoe tightly, there was a faint pain in the bottom of his eyes.

Su Kefang's heart sank, could it be that the second uncle really fell off the cliff?
"Zi Run..." She looked at him and called out unconsciously.

Xiang Zirun turned around, looked at her, with forbearance in his eyes, and said firmly: "I want to see people when I live, and I want to see corpses when I die. I don't believe that Xiang'er will die!"

Su Kefang nodded vigorously: "I also believe that Second Uncle will be fine!"

Xiang Zirun was silent for a moment, and said: "You go back first, don't let mother know about this for the time being, I will go to the bottom of the cliff to look for it myself!"

She nodded and looked at him worriedly: "Zi Run, you have to be careful!"

"I will!" He raised his hand and stroked her hair, and walked towards Yan Zhongting who was talking to his subordinates over there.

Yan Zirun asked Yan Zhongting for help, and asked the yamen servant to deliver a message to Lin Zhaohong in the county seat, and then went to the bottom of the cliff to find someone.

Seeing him jumping to the bottom of the cliff, Su Kefang's heart jumped out of her chest. When she rushed to the edge of the cliff, she saw his body hanging on a tree by the edge of the cliff, and then jumped lightly with her strength. , and then climbed up to a protruding rock on the cliff more than ten meters down, and she fell back to the ground with a heart.

They didn't tell Yao Shi when they came out, in order to avoid her suspicion, Su Kefang could only go home worried.

Back home, Su Kefang lied to her mother-in-law that Yan Zhongting had something to ask Xiang Zirun for help, Xiang Zirun went back to the county with him first, and would come back to pick her up in a few days.

Suspicion flashed in Yao's heart, but because he believed in his daughter-in-law, he didn't think much about it.

Lin Zhaohong from Huaitang County received a message from the yamen servant, and he didn't stop for a moment to gather people to rush to Tougou Town.

When Lin Zhaohong led his people to the bottom of the cliff, he only saw the torn apart carriage and the horse that was almost smashed into meat paste.

Lin Zhaohong saw blood on a wooden board not far from the horse's corpse, stepped forward to wipe it, put it under his nose and smelled it, and said to the relaxed-looking man beside him, "Human blood?"

Xiang Zirun nodded: "It's human blood!"

With only blood and no corpses, there is still a glimmer of hope!
Lin Zhaohong looked at his senior brother's face, and asked cautiously: "Senior brother, do you think this is Qiao Renfei's blood, or your brother's blood?"

It stands to reason that Qiao Renfei's tendons have been broken, and it is impossible to survive a fall from such a high place, but not only is there no body of Xiang Chenxiang, even Qiao Renfei's body is missing, and there are no large animals walking around It is impossible to be eaten by wild animals, so this matter is intriguing.
