Chapter 328: Clues

The sudden disappearance of Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan immediately plunged the entire Ye County into a panic, and the eight-hundred-mile expedited fast horse sent the news to Kaifeng. Both the people of Ye County and the Dongjiang Army were all dispatched to find any clues about the three daughters.

All the personnel of the farm were controlled, all were put in prison, and all the soldiers in the barracks were dispatched. Even the students of the academy were driven out to find someone, and the sky fell in Ye County in an instant!

"What? You repeat. Mao Wenlong let out an exclamation, rushed over quickly, grabbed the dying messenger and shook it fiercely.

Hong Chengchou is not calm this time, because among the people who disappeared together is also his daughter. If the old guy hadn't had his legs and feet slowed down, he would have been the one who would have shaken the herald.

After running all day and night, changing horses three times in a row, the messenger who arrived here without even catching his breath would have been exhausted and almost passed out. At this moment, he was shaken so ruthlessly by Mao Wenlong, and he rolled his eyes directly and foamed at the mouth.

Cheng Zuo didn't see it well, so he immediately rushed forward and cut the two of them apart: "The chief soldier is angry, let him take a breath first." ”

The messenger gasped, and Cheng Zuo immediately brought him a cup of tea, and then heard him say again: "Chief soldier, Madame, Miss Hong Ziyan and their maidservant Li Xiu disappeared from the farm at the same time. ”

Mao Wenlong had obviously calmed down a bit, and he said gloomily: "Disappear, how to disappear?" ”

The messenger did not dare to delay for a moment, and he immediately informed everyone present of the whole story.

After hearing this, Mao Wenlong carefully asked some doubts, and only after there was nothing to ask about it did he let the messenger go down to rest first.

There was a sudden silence in the lobby, no one expected that such a thing would happen in Ye County, which had always been the safest. Mao Wenlong's anger in his heart at this moment can be imagined, so before Mao Wenlong didn't speak, no one dared to talk nonsense at this time and get into trouble.

After a long time, Mao Wenlong looked at Hong Chengchou, who also looked gloomy beside him, and said solemnly: "Do you think this is a premeditated kidnapping?" ”

Hong Chengchou nodded and said: "Ye County is our center of gravity, and it has always been well defended, because it is only a small county town, so even the appearance of a stranger can be known immediately on weekdays." However, this incident did not have any warning in advance, and it was kidnapped in the absolute safety of the farm, and it is already certain that it was a premeditated kidnapping, and it was done by someone who had been lurking in the farm. ”

Mao Wenlong listened to Hong Chengchou's analysis, and he also felt that it made sense: "Now that the people in the entire farm have been controlled, I believe that we will soon be able to find out who did it." It seems that we have to go back to Ye County and personally supervise this matter. ”

"General soldier, should Shanxi's offensive continue?" Cheng Zuo heard that Mao Wenlong was going back to Ye County, so he immediately stepped forward and asked.

Mao Wenlong said fiercely: "Not only do you want to continue, but it's better to speed me up." To be able to do such a thing in Ye County, I think no one else should have this ability except for the imperial court. ”

"Yes, Commander!" Cheng Zuo was slightly relieved, and he already understood what Mao Wenlong meant.

The matter is related to the safety of Chen Lan, Hong Ziyan and Li Xiu, and Mao Wenlong has completely lost patience. After explaining the affairs of Shanxi to Chengzuo that day, he and Hong Chengchou led 20,000 Dongjiang troops to hurry back to Ye County.

Three days later, Mao Wenlong arrived in Ye County smoothly, and the people left behind, as well as the housekeepers and guards in Mao's mansion, came to meet him outside the city.

The magistrate of Ye County even knelt down in front of Mao Wenlong's horse with a handful of snot and tears, and actually took the guilt of pleading, crying so much that it was sad.

Mao Wenlong didn't even raise his eyelids, drove his horse straight into the city, and then went straight to Mao's mansion.

The magistrate didn't know Mao Wenlong's thoughts, and he didn't dare to leave, so he could only follow Mao Wenlong's army with a bitter face and walk towards Mao's mansion.

When he arrived at Mao's mansion, Mao Wenlong didn't even have time to drink his saliva, so he immediately ordered to call all the people who were affected, and then, together with Hong Chengchou, began to ask questions non-stop.

Within half an hour, the two of them had pulled out Da Niu and more than a dozen of his subordinates.

Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou didn't suddenly understand until this moment why Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan were quietly kidnapped. Apparently deceived by the spies in these farms.

What made Mao Wenlong angry was that it had been four and a half days since the kidnapping, but there was still no clue about Chen Lan and them.

In fact, this is also to blame Mao Wenlong for not leaving a person who can really take charge of things in Ye County, if something big happens like this, no one dares to call the shots, so they can only come up with their own ideas and then discuss.

This will definitely delay the best time to track, and the distressed Mao Wenlong immediately thought of the magistrate, and he did not hesitate to order someone to throw him into the prison.

Although this matter has little to do with him, as the magistrate, he has done nothing, and he cannot escape the dereliction of duty no matter what.

The magistrate can only admit that he is unlucky, but fortunately, he is only in prison now, and he has not died immediately, at least there is a glimmer of life.

After Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou sorted out the ins and outs of the matter, they went to the site of the farm to check. As they expected, there was no trace of a fight at the scene.

You must know that Li Xiu's skills will definitely not lead to no room for resistance, if there is anything wrong. It is not difficult to leave some traces with Li Xiu's skills, but after Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou carefully checked, they did not find anything.

The two of them were sure that this must have been kidnapped after they had been tricked. But these kidnappers are only a dozen people, and where can they escape from Ye County? Soon after the incident, the soldiers and horses of the entire Ye County immediately set off to scatter around to search, but so far they have not found anything?

This thing is obviously strange, Mao Wenlong frowned and muttered: "Could it be that the kidnappers can still fly into the sky with wings?" ”

Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly said excitedly: "It is impossible to fly to the sky, but if you take the waterway, it is very possible!" ”

The two had already questioned those who had gone to look for them, and they had all gone from land to seek, as if they had not searched for a waterway.

Mao Wenlong was also stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Prepare the horses, come with me." ”

After a while, Mao Wenlong took the lead, thinking about a trail at the foot of the back mountain, and behind him, three thousand Dongjiang troops followed.

Not long after running, Mao Wenlong really found the vague carriage traces on the trail, and then he was even more determined that he was not looking in the wrong direction! Mao Wenlong was immediately overjoyed, and once again extremely fast, urging the horse to gallop.
