Later in the evening, Cheng Xiaolian, who was far away in Ruzhou, also got the news, and when he heard the news of Chen Chengan's sudden disappearance, he hated to come to check the reason in person, but the Manchu envoy was still in the city, so he had no choice but to let Lu Li go to find out what was going on, and send a letter to Meng Ke in Runing Mansion, so that he could ensure Chen Chengan's safety no matter what.

Lu Li took a few brocade guards out of Ruzhou, changed three horses, galloped all night and finally arrived in Shangcai, Meng Ke got the news and rushed over overnight, and saw Lu Li at a glance: "I said what's going on?" ”

"I don't know, Your Majesty asked me to come over to check, you have been operating in Runing for so long, don't you know what's going on?"

"Don't mention it, Lao Tzu would rather kill a thousand people alone now than be this broken official, I can't sleep every night when I'm worried, those people are making trouble right under my nose, I can't even see it at all, I'm angry when I say it, let's find Mr. Chen first." Mr. Chen is not staying with His Majesty, why did he come to Runing Mansion? ”

"It should be for a woman, but we don't know what the situation is now, don't make a big deal about it for the time being, if it falls into the hands of Wu Sangui's subordinates, we will make a big deal worse than that."

"Hey, thanks to your reminder, I still want to come to the whole city to search for people, but if you don't publicize how we can find people, this doesn't look like a bad person."

"Brother Jinyiwei got the news that it is in this Shangcai City, but I don't know if they will transport people out of the city, you now make Shangcai City loose on the outside and tight on the inside, there are carriages that can transport people out of the city, don't block them at the gate of the city, and then search them when they are far away from the city, so that people will not be vigilant. I'll go to the market first to find out the news. ”

"You're alone?"

"I'm enough for one person, just don't let people go."

Lu Li got off the horse, found a place to change into shabby clothes, and smeared two handfuls of dirt on his body, looking like he had come from afar, and slowly melted into the street.

Meng Ke waved his hand: "Let's just say that there are thieves in the city who have stolen the general's favorite golden arhat, let the three gates be closed, leaving only one door to travel, and the men and horses are divided into three teams to ambush outside the city, carefully check, if Mr. Chen leaks in the hands of any of you, you will cut off your own heads." ”

The brocade guard next to him hurriedly added: "Anyone who covers his face must check the true appearance, and the carriage must not be leaked, and things like wooden barrels must be strictly checked." ”

Lu Li walked to the street and came to a stall: "Shopkeeper, come with a flatbread and a bowl of water." ”

When the shopkeeper saw this dress, he immediately lost interest, waved his hand, and Xiao Er next to him immediately brought out a cake and a bowl of water: "Guest officer, our rule here is to pay the silver first." ”

"Grandma, don't you look down on people, does your grandfather look like a person who can't afford to pay the silver?"

"Guest officer, you have come from afar, I advise you to follow the customs of the locals, otherwise you will have a bad time."

Lu Li pursed his lips, stretched out his hand and took out two copper plates: "Blind your dog's eyes, what you have is silver." ”

Xiao Er put away the two copper plates, turned around and rolled his eyes, all the copper plates were spent on eating, and some were silver, I'm bah!

Lu Li ate something: "Let me ask you, which is the best restaurant in this city?" ”

He also heard about what happened, it stands to reason that Chen Chengan should have followed the woman from Dongyang, and he also knew the identity of that woman, he would never eat at this roadside stall, even if he didn't go to the best restaurant, the grade would definitely not be bad.

"Of course, the best restaurant in Shangcai is Li Silou, but I'm afraid you won't be able to enter at all."

Li Si, the founding prime minister of Daqin, is a native of Shangcai, I don't know how many generations have passed, and no one will be involved at all, of course, the restaurant is also stained with the light of this Li Cheng Prime Minister, and a Li Si Lou has been set up, and the gentry in the city are also happy to promote the celebrity of their homeland, so it has become the largest restaurant in the city.

"If you can't get in or not, is there anything else?"

"There are also Qianjun Drunk and Yiran Building, but it is estimated that you will not be able to enter, so let's honestly eat the pie here." After saying that, there was a lot of laughter around, Lu Li didn't care, and stood up after eating the flatbread: "Dare to ask where Li Silou is?" ”

Following the instructions of these people, Lu Li quickly rushed to Li Silou, but when he arrived here, he understood that it was absolutely impossible to do something here, this place was full of people, and there was no way to hide people's eyes and ears to do bad things, so he had to inquire and go to another restaurant.

As for why he wanted to find a restaurant, Lu Li believed that with the combat effectiveness of Jinyiwei, it was absolutely impossible for those people to make them not even have the strength to fight back, and the most likely place to do their hands and feet was to eat and live, besides, so many people did not run out of the restaurant, I am afraid that it is more likely that they have been drugged.

It's just that Lu Like frowned before the restaurant was near, the two restaurants ranked second and third in the city were actually opened opposite, aren't they afraid of people robbing business?

But he didn't think much about it, if this place was done quickly, it wouldn't leave any traces, thinking of this, he walked to a wall next to him and squatted under the wall as if he was sleeping, but his eyes were staring at the various characters in the restaurant to see if there was anything strange.

Besides, Chen Cheng'an, seeing that he was about to convince the bandit leader, who knew that he pulled out his knife again: "Grandma, Lao Tzu has tied up so many meat tickets, I have never seen anyone who thinks about Lao Tzu, it is all for his own plans, what do you say you are thinking, if you don't say that I will kill you now!" ”

Chen Chengan has also seen the messenger, so he naturally knows that this is a trick, if there is really evidence, he will not talk nonsense at all, and he will be stabbed down with a knife, but someone will tremble when he sees the knife, and he can't help but tell the truth.

"Big brother, I really didn't lie to you, and besides, I don't have to lie to you, I just want to save my life, I have the silver at home, you can make as much price as you want, the silver is gone, you can still make money, if I don't have it, there will be nothing."

The leader stared at Chen Chengan carefully for a while and didn't find anything wrong, and stretched out his hand to push: "Count your kid lucky, I don't want to kill people today, come here, send his sister out, let him deliver the letter!" ”

"Big brother, no, my sister will be robbed if she can't walk far alone, and if you can't get the silver, my little life will be gone, so it's better to put two more people to escort her back."

The corner of the leader's mouth twitched: "It's no problem to put two more people, the rest is nineteen, you are the most valuable silver, you want 100,000 taels of silver, and the remaining one is 1,000 taels, so tell your father to raise silver, if the silver is not enough, I will chop his son piece by piece and send it back!" After speaking, he glared at Tagawa Yoshiko viciously.
