My sister is Daji

Chapter 21 The Missing Child

At this moment, a figure passed by at the end of the alley, and Daji called out, "Xiaoxuan, is that you?"

But the man came out, but it was an old beggar, and Daji felt a little lost: "Old man, where are Xiaoxuan and the others, do you know?"

"I don't know, I don't know." The old beggar shook his head, staring at the steamed bun in Jiang Yi's hand while talking, swallowing.

With good eyesight, Jiang Yi took out two steamed buns and handed them to the old beggar.

After he took it, he gobbled it up and said: "Xiaoxuan and the others have disappeared for many days."

Daji leaned down and asked, "Have they left Yunhai County?"

The old beggar shook his head again: "I'm afraid not."

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Jiang Yi gave him two more steamed buns.

The old beggar stuffed the steamed buns into his bosom and said, "In fact, it's not just Xiaoxuan and the others, the county has lost a lot of children recently."

"A lot of children have been lost?" Daji asked anxiously, "Doesn't the county care?"

"The city lord has recently gone to Chaoge to pay homage to the king of Ren. The young city lord is in charge. You know the virtue of the young city lord. Not only does he ignore it, but he doesn't allow nonsense. If he speaks, he will disturb the hearts of the people and will be beaten. You can deal with this matter. Don’t say I said it, it’s not worth my life to eat some of your steamed buns with an old bone.”

Hong Jin is really hateful for losing a child and not being allowed to say it.

Jiang Yi asked Daji: "What should we do now?"

Daji was very worried about Xiaoxuan and the others, and said, "Let's go to Hong Jin, after all, the city lord is not here, and now the entire Yunhai County is in charge of him, so he can't leave it alone."

The City Lord's Mansion is on the bank of Jinghu Lake.

The surface of the lake is like a mirror, and the water waves are not disturbed by the breeze.Occasionally, I saw a white bird flying across the water, caught a herring, and made a ripple in the middle of the water.

At this time, the sun is shining, the water surface is shining brightly, the lush old trees on the shore, and the long white clouds in the sky are also reflected in the lake like a picture.

Peng Dashou was already waiting outside the city lord's mansion. When he met Jiang Yi and Daji, he cupped his hands and said, "Young city lord has been waiting for a long time."

The three entered the mansion together.

The walls and doors of this mansion are high, and the walls are carved with beams and painted buildings. After entering the mansion, one realizes the size of the mansion. The road winds and walks through corridors and gardens. After walking for a long time, one arrives at the living room.

Hong Jin had already set up the banquet, and greeted Daji: "Sister, you are finally here, but brother has been waiting for a long time, and this dish is cold."

The rest of the guests also stood up and bowed to Daji.

Jiang Yi looked at the chicken, duck and fish on the table, thought of the shabby clothes of the people on the street, and beggars everywhere, and looked at the people in the living room, all of them were well-clothed and well-fed.

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

It seems that Hong Jin and the others have a lot of fish and meat on weekdays.

Daji leaned back and said, "Master Hong is sorry for the delay due to some incidents."

She usually treats people with a spring breeze, but now she is thinking of Xiaoxuan and the others, and she can't hide her displeasure, so she can't help but raise the corner of her mouth slightly.

Seeing her unhappy face, Hong Jin asked: "My sister is so sad, what happened, tell my brother, and he will take care of it for you."

"If I ask, Mr. Hong can't get angry." Daji thought of what the old beggar said, and said deliberately.

Hong Jin's curiosity was aroused, and he nodded straightly: "It's okay for you to say, everyone, be a witness, I promise not to get angry with my sister."

Jiang Yi noticed that Peng Dashou's eyes moved slightly, as if he had guessed what Daji was going to say.

"I heard that Yunhai County has lost many children recently."

As soon as these words came out, the whole room fell silent and all looked at Hong Jin.

Hong Jin waved his hand in embarrassment: "Oh, I invite everyone here today to welcome Sister Daji and not to talk about these unpleasant things."

"Yeah, why bother with these crap things."

"It's not your child, why worry about it?"

"Drink, drink."

During the banquet, there were all the prodigal sons of Yunhai County, and they were not interested in this matter, and after a while, they were drinking and drinking, guessing fists, playing and playing.

"My sister came from a long way. My Yunhai County is really full of splendor. Come, I will toast you as an older brother." Hong Jin picked up the wine glass and stared at Daji with a bright face.

Daji took a look at Jiang Yi and sighed slightly. After all, he was in Hong Jin's field, so it was not easy to save his face, so she raised her glass and drank it.

Just at this moment, the sound of "bang bang bang" drums came from outside the mansion.

Hong Jin jumped up at the table: "Who the hell is here to disturb my elegant mood at this time, big birthday, go out and have a look."

After speaking, Peng Dashou took the order to go out.

Hong Jin picked up the wine glass again and said to Jiang Yi: "This is sister Daji's younger brother, right? In honor of my sister, I would like to toast you too, sir."

Do you want to honor Daji's face by toasting yourself?
This is a big joke.

Jiang Yi waved his hand: "I don't drink."

Hong Jin was a little embarrassed, but she took Daji into consideration, held back for the time being, and only wanted to go back and deal with this ignorant guy.

He put down his wine glass, and said again: "If you don't drink, forget it, eat vegetables, eat vegetables. The delicacies in my city lord's mansion are different from those in your broken mountain in Qingqiu. For example, the fish is the swallowtail eight-treasure fish from the South China Sea. , you, a mountain villager, must have never eaten it, it is rare to have such an opportunity, try it out."

Jiang Yi was quite upset seeing Hong Jin's look of looking down on him, so he ignored him, took out a steamed bun from the cloth bag and gnawed on it.

All the young masters were stunned for a moment.

Hong Jin said displeasedly: "I have delicacies from mountains and seas here, so why do you eat those broken steamed buns? If you don't know, you think my City Lord's Mansion has treated you badly."

Jiang Yi smiled slightly: "My broken steamed bun is not delicious, but it is clean."

What he meant was that these delicacies from the mountains and seas of the City Lord's Mansion all came from wrong sources.

The sons and brothers were fools, and even picked up the dish and looked at it carefully: "It's not dirty."

"Bang..." Hong Jin heard Jiang Yi's subtext, and said, "You mountain villager, don't be ashamed."

When Daji saw her, she hurriedly stood in front of Jiang Yi, and said coquettishly, "Master Hong, I respect you as the Young Lord of Yunhai County, and I treat you with great courtesy. But if you continue to speak rudely to my junior brother, I will ignore you again."

"Let's talk about it, who is the first to speak rudely?" Hong Jin felt a little aggrieved seeing Daji like this.

Jiang Yi also admitted that he was the first to speak rudely, but Daji is a brother-protecting devil, so he naturally wouldn't think he was wrong.

Daji said willfully: "I don't care, anyway, I'm just such a junior, I will protect him no matter what. Anyone who doesn't know right or wrong, my junior is right. If my junior is wrong, it must be others who made mistakes first .”

"You...what's your reasoning?" Hong Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Daji became self-willed, pouted her lips and put her hands on her hips, which had a different style, and he suppressed his anger for a while.

At this time, Peng Dashou came in and reported: "Young City Master, there are seven or eight women making a fuss over there, saying that the family's child is lost, and you want the Young City Master to uphold justice and arrest the thieves."

Hong Jin dropped the wine glass to the ground with a "snap": "My father is not here, I am the city lord of Yunhai County, and I am in charge of all the earth-shattering events, such as throwing children and catching thieves. Harass me, throw me out."

Jiang Yi secretly laughed in his heart: What can you do, the No. 1 meal is talking about people like you.

"This...those women are very violent, many people around are watching, if they want to blow them away, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of the young city lord." Peng Dashou persuaded tactfully.

"what--"

Suddenly there was a scream from the backyard.
