Chapter 452 Miscalculation
Chapter 452 Miscalculation
The Lord of Yongchang County said sternly: "Go to the busiest bookstore and keep an eye on me. As soon as it gets dark and the place ends, catch that storyteller for me!"
"Yes!"
Huo Changxian didn't know about the bookstore yet, so he left quickly with his men. As soon as he got out of the yard, he asked, "Is there still no news about their team?"
"Back to the young master, it's true that there is still...nothing."
"Trash! There are so many people, how can they just disappear?" Huo Changxian always felt that something was wrong. Huo Changxian pressed his fingers lightly on his forehead.
"Go and arrange the manpower, be smart and ruthless, and bring my handwritten letter. Let them meet up with Jinshan after they go, and they must quietly drag the strange rock out of the water and bring it back."
"……Yes."
This matter is really difficult.
However, that is Yongchang County, and Magistrate Wu is a coward. Even if it is a bit difficult, it can be done.
Huo Changxian waited for his men to leave, changed direction, left the house through the side door, and followed a path to a small house.
The courtyard is quiet and the scenery is elegant, making people feel peaceful.
Huo Changxian walked slowly to a moon door. The little maid who was about to go out saw him and quickly saluted. When she was about to speak, he waved his hand to stop her.
Stepping into the hospital, you will find bamboos planted along the wall of the small courtyard. The cool breeze rustles the bamboo leaves, and the deep and shallow shadows sway lightly on the ground and walls, like beautiful silhouettes.
The window in the corridor was half open, and a person was sitting in front of the window, reading a book intently.
She was not very beautiful, and she often wore a veil on her face, but she had an indescribable aura about her, which was mysterious and seemed to have some kind of power, which attracted Huo Changxian.
Although he was attracted, he never had any other thoughts that he shouldn't have.
Sensing his gaze, Hong Yu turned around and looked over. She was not surprised to see him, and nodded slightly as a greeting.
She was always like this, always calm and calm, as if nothing could surprise her or be unexpected.
Huo Changxian stepped forward without entering the house. He stood outside the window and asked softly: "The wind is a bit cold. Be careful not to get cold."
Hong Yu nodded: "Young Master, are you here? I see you don't look well. Did something happen?"
She knew how to count, but not all the time, and only when it was important.
But her ability to observe words and emotions is also top-notch.
Huo Changxian didn't hide anything. He nodded and said, "Something went wrong in Yongping Village."
Hong Yu was slightly startled, and a trace of surprise that he had never seen before quickly flashed in his eyes: "What's wrong?"
Huo Changxian was also a little surprised by her reaction. He stared at her and said: "Yongping Village is fine, safe and sound. The exile team has not left Yongping Village. For some reason, it is missing now. I am sending people to look for it."
Hongyu closed the book with a snap: "Didn't go to Yongping Village? He is missing?"
"Exactly," Huo Changxian nodded, "In addition..."
Hongyu raised his hand to interrupt, frowned slightly, narrowed his eyes, and thought for a moment and asked: "Is the news true? Who went to inquire about it? You were not deceived, were you?"
Huo Changxian was stunned. This question... he didn't expect.
"It's true," he nodded. "It was made by my confidants. There were more than one of them, and they all spoke the same language. There is no possibility that they deliberately deceived me."
Hong Yu's eyes showed rare anxiety: "It shouldn't be."
"and also……"
Huo Changxian also wanted to talk about Yongchang, but Hong Yu couldn't listen: "This matter is of great importance. It is related to whether King Zhennan can bear the reputation of a villain. This is very important to you. Let me think about it carefully."
"We'll talk about other things later. Is there anything else more important than this?"
In the last sentence, there was already a hint of blame.
Huo Changxian was silent for a moment: "Yes, I was about to tell you."
Hong Yu was startled: "What?"
"It's about Yongchang County. I just got the news that a strange phenomenon occurred in Yongchang. The road outside the city collapsed and strange rocks appeared in the water. On them were engraved eight words that were detrimental to my mother. "
Hong Yu's eyes widened and he stood up suddenly: "What!"
Huo Changxian frowned: "I don't know what's going on. I've sent people to investigate and get the stone back to have a look. I wanted to ask you first. It seems..."
You don't know either.
Hong Yu understood the unfinished meaning of his words, covered his chest with his hands, coughed violently, and a few drops of blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
Although separated by white gauze, you can still see it clearly.
"You..." Huo Changxian asked quickly, "Are you okay?"
Hong Yu sat down slowly, a little weak: "It's okay, I've been peeking at the secrets too much recently, and my body can't bear it."
Huo Changxian took a deep breath: "Then you take a good rest first, and I will ask someone to send you some more supplements. Yongchang's matter has already happened, I will deal with it first."
Hong Yu stroked his forehead and said nothing, while Huo Changxian retreated silently.
As soon as he left, Kureha opened her eyes.
Didn’t go to Yongping Village? So where did they go? An exiled team should be very conspicuous. How could it disappear out of thin air?
It's really weird.
Also, how could things in Yongchang County become like this? There must be something wrong!
Lincheng is not far from Yongchang County, and with the horse racing, Huo Changxian's men arrived outside Yongchang County before the sun set completely.
Even though I knew something was going on here and that the ground was collapsing, I was still really shocked when I saw it with my own eyes.
This is not a small hook or a small hurdle. If you happen to get there, you will fall in and die.
There were six of them in the group, they were considered experts, and they all broke out in a cold sweat when they saw this scene.
The road was not completely repaired, and they couldn't ride into the city. With so many people still repairing it, it looked like they would have to stay up late at night. It would be a bit difficult to get in quietly.
This was the scene everywhere in the siege of the city. The common people spontaneously came to repair the work, led by people from the yamen, and they were surprisingly united.
The leader's surname was Liu Da, which made him feel a little embarrassed for a while.
"Brother Liu, why don't we put down the horses and sneak into the city? We must meet the golden guard."
"We still have the young master's letters to give to him."
When Liu Da heard it, it was indeed true. There was a small forest by the water. The place where they wanted to do things was by the water. It was the most suitable place to put the horse.
He tied the horse in the woods and left four people to guard it. Liu Da took a companion and entered the city together.
They had no special clothes when they entered the city, they were just like ordinary bodyguards, and they did not attract anyone's attention.
But what they never expected was that when the county government asked, Jinshan was not there at all.
As for where the person went, no one could tell.
When he saw them acting like this, Liu Da had a guess that they were probably going to a brothel again.
Sighing secretly, he asked the doorkeeper: "Where is the chief steward? Ask him to send someone to find the golden guard. When he comes back, tell him that we are from Lincheng and have important matters under the orders of the eldest son."
Unexpectedly, the servant hesitated and said: "Our chief manager... is dead."
Liu Da almost thought he was hallucinating: "What did you say?"
