The old lady of the Zhang family also knew that her daughter was a thoughtful person. If she was allowed to stay in the room all the time, something would really happen.

The old lady of the Zhang family sighed, "That's all. Now that you're here, you can just rest here."

Zhou Meixue followed Zhu Qiuqi to the county seat, and the old lady of the Zhang family went to boil a pot of hot water herself so that everyone could have a sip of warm tea.

Within a moment, Zheng Lin hurried over.

When he saw Zhang Kui, Zheng Lin hurriedly stepped forward.

"What's going on? Where's the child? Was it lost there?"

People in these ten miles and eight villages are now familiar with the children of the Zhang family. Naturally, everyone knows what Zhang Yijing looks like, so there is no need to find any portraits for them.

Upon hearing Zheng Lin's anxious inquiry, Zhang Kui immediately told him about Zhang Yijing's situation.

"You ask someone to search for him in the county town. The child was lost in the county town."

Zheng Lin nodded, greeted Zhang Siyuan, and left in a hurry.

Watching people coming and leaving from one village after another, Zhang Kui gradually calmed down.

"Don't worry, all our workshops here have stopped today. With so many people looking for the child, they will always find it."

The generals guarding the gates of the inner city were originally the safest.

But when they saw a large group of people coming on the road leading to Xiaozhangzhuang, they were frightened and suddenly sobered up a lot.

But when they saw the leader, everyone relaxed again.

"Brother Pei, what are you doing?"

Pei Yuan took out the token given by Li Juntong, and the general who defended the city was shocked.

"What happened?"

"Brother Zhang's child was lost just an hour ago. Three other children were beaten until they fainted, and they are now in the medical center of Jishi Hall."

The face of the city guard suddenly turned ugly, "The child has been lost again. I will report it to the general. You can enter the city."

Pei Yuan nodded, "I'll go with you to find General Li."

Looking at Zhu Qiuqi, who seemed to be mentally focused on the city, Pei Yuan bowed his hand to King Ling.

"Brother Wang, I'll leave it to you to wish my sister-in-law."

Prince Ling nodded and led Zhu Qiuqi and the people behind him into the city.

"General, someone outside the barracks is asking to see you."

Xiao Bing handed over a token, and Li Juntong just glanced at it and knew it was the token he gave to Zhu Qiuqi.

"Who is looking for me?"

"It's Brother Pei Yuan Pei."

When Li Juntong heard this, his heart tightened involuntarily.

"Go and invite him in."

When Li Juntong saw Pei Yuan, he realized something was wrong.

"What happened?"

"Girl Jing is missing. I suspect she was taken away intentionally."

Pei Yuan's words made Li Juntong immediately frown, "What's going on?"

"Brother Siwang is going to Zhenxiu Pavilion today to deliver goods. Several children are making a fuss and want to go. Girl Jing also goes with her."

Li Juntong's face also darkened, "But someone is targeting Brother Zhang?"

Pei Yuan shook his head, "It's not clear yet. When the other party met Chenchuan, they only knocked him out, but they took Jing away."

"If someone is really targeting Brother Zhang, it should be Chenchuan they take away."

Li Juntong couldn't help but fell silent. Zhang Chenchuan was Zhang Siyuan's son.

If someone wants to use a child to threaten Zhang Siwang, they should indeed take Zhang Chenchuan away.

"Do you have a reporting officer?"

"Prince Ling has already gone with Sister-in-law Zhu."

Li Juntong's heart skipped a beat when he heard Pei Yuan's words.

"Who is His Highness Prince Ling?"

Li Juntong didn't hide it anymore and nodded to acknowledge it.

I didn't tell Li Juntong before just to cause unnecessary trouble.

After all, when Prince Ling's arrival at Xiao Zhangzhuang was exposed, Zhang Siyuan's whereabouts were also exposed. This was something Pei Yuan did not want to see.

Li Juntong heard this and understood it.

"In that case, I will ask those who are resting in the camp to find someone in the city."

After all, the people under Li Juntong were from the military, so if they encounter any danger, they can withstand it.

But the people in Xiaozhangzhuang and Shiliba Village are ordinary people after all. If they really encounter those people sent by the capital, they may be in danger.

Because of this, before everyone entered the city, Pei Yuan had warned three or five people to act together and never go alone to find someone.

Although everyone didn't know why Pei Yuan arranged it like that, they all nodded in agreement.

Prince Ling took Zhu Qiuqi to the government office, and then he learned that the shopkeeper of Zhenxi Pavilion had already reported it to the government, and the county magistrate had sent someone to look for him.

Even so, the county magistrate is still uneasy.

Now looking at the dense crowd following Zhu Qiuqi, I felt a lot more at ease.

How could he forget that Zhu Qiuqi was not only kind to Xiao Zhangzhuang, but also helpful to the people in the ten miles and eight villages.

Now that Zhu Qiuqi's child was lost, everyone naturally came to help find it.

Although the county magistrate was already mentally prepared, when he saw the crowd of people standing at the end of the street who had not yet reached the end, the bastard was also horrified.

Seeing this, the county magistrate immediately sent out all the remaining government servants in the county government office and asked them to lead everyone to find someone.

When everyone saw so many people suddenly pouring into the city, they were frightened and ran away.

Now seeing people from the government and military camps being mobilized, everyone was frightened and hid in the shops.

The owner of the shop did not chase people away. Instead, he gathered everyone together to prevent them from causing trouble to the government officials.

When the county magistrate saw this situation, he couldn't help but sigh that the people of Qingshui County were really united.

Zhu Qiuqi saw that the county magistrate had sent people to lead people from several villages to find people, and then she followed several women and Prince Ling towards Jishi Hall.

The county magistrate did not stop him. He also heard that three children were knocked unconscious.

When the medicine boy saw Zhu Qiuqi coming, he quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Mrs. Zhu, please wait for a moment. The master is treating a few children inside, and it's almost time to come out."

Zhu Qiuqi nodded. She knew that her current situation was not suitable for medical treatment, so she did not go in to cause trouble to Dr. Liu, but tried to calm down her emotions.

Prince Ling stood aside and took a sip of tea.

Looking at Zhu Qiuqi's eyes that seemed to have lost their vitality, she couldn't help but shook her head.

In the past, she looked like a smart woman, but why did she lose her wits when it came to her children?

"I wish you, madam, don't worry. With so many of us looking for her together, we will eventually be able to find Girl Jing."

Zhu Qiuqi nodded, but her expression was still absent.

Seeing this, King Ling sighed, but after all he didn't try to persuade him any further.

It wasn't until Dr. Liu came out of the house that Zhu Qiuqi suddenly stood up.

"Doctor Liu, how are the children?"
