"How so?" Wen Ranran's brows furrowed deeply.

This Yuan Xu was half-dead yesterday after being beaten with fifty military sticks, so it stands to reason that he should still be in the barracks, right? Who can openly move a half-dead person away and then flee directly?

On the side, Tao Yuanyuan heard about this, and there was also a trace of displeasure on her face.

"I look up to this guy, the so-called Danqing Holy Hand...... Scold! ”

Wen Ranran's eyebrows frowned: "I can check in the barracks, but I can't find out where the other party went...... Let's go to the city first! ”

Tao Yuanyuan nodded, undeniable.

Chengyang County is not big, full of the pride of the people in the north, and with the hearty mountain songs and children's sounds, Wen Ranran feels a sense of cordiality.

Along the way, Wen Ranran was not in a hurry, and even pulled Tao Yuanyuan to sit on the wonton stall and eat a bowl of wontons.

"Huh? Have you heard of it? Outside the city, there is a garrison of the imperial court! ”

"It is said that the county keeper went out of the castle overnight last night......"

"I don't know how, tsk, is the county keeper good...... It's a pity, don't say anything to the people in the court! ”

Wen Ranran raised her eyebrows, stuffed the last spoonful of wontons into her mouth, and glanced at Tao Yuanyuan.

"What's wrong?" Tao Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows and said.

Wen Ranran lowered her head, and the expression in her eyes remained unchanged.

"I just always feel that this Ji Xu Yuan is not so simple...... Did you hear it just now, he has a good reputation among the people, and even all the way to this Chengyang County, the people are also living and working in peace and contentment, such a person ......"

Having said that, Tao Yuanyuan also found that something was wrong.

"But this man's behavior last night was clearly a ...... Corrupt officials or derelict waste? ”

That is to say...... The other party may have pretended to be last night, deliberately asked you to punish him, and then deliberately ...... Escape? When Wen Ran said this, she felt like she didn't believe it.

After all, no matter how you look at it, this action does not conform to the logic of a person's behavior.

"Let's go to the county guard again?" Wen Ran raised her eyebrows.

Tao Yuanyuan nodded, and the two of them walked towards the county guard mansion together.

Ji Xuyuan's county guard mansion didn't have any special existence, and if it weren't for the big characters on the door plaque, Wen Ranran would even think that these were a wealthy businessman's family.

This Ji Xu Yuan is so incorruptible?

Wen Ranran raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door knocker, but there was no movement inside, Tao Yuanyuan was expressionless, and directly kicked the door open.

The mansion was quiet, and there was not even a single person, as if the people in the county guard seemed to have disappeared.

Wen Ranran gasped and strode in.

Everything in the house, even the brooms in the yard and everything else, was as if it had never been moved.

It's just that there are some valuable gold and silver soft things missing, and the rest is basically untouched.

What's more, even half of the water in the study pen wash is used.

"This ...... What the hell is going on? Tao Yuanyuan's eyes widened, looking at the strange scene in front of her, and she didn't seem to react yet.

"Run!" Wen Ranran touched the non-existent dust on the table, and coldly spit out two words at the corner of her mouth, "Moreover, it was a temporary intention, last night's escape." ”

Wen Ranran took a deep breath, "What do you say...... We were deceived, and there was nothing wrong with the other party being Ji Xuyuan, but ...... Why did Ji Xuyuan seem to be completely unaware of our origins, or why did that happen on purpose? ”

"Fifty sticks, serious injuries but not fatal, but the time difference in this is like deliberately covering up something."

"One Ji Xu Yuan can stubbornly drag down the pace of our attack, and the people behind this scene are not simple."
