Take Taobao to ancient times

Said it was a day off, but Lu Siyu really only had a day off, and set off with everyone after a day.

"Mr. Lu, if you feel unwell, you can rest more." Uncle Wang still couldn't bear it, so he couldn't help but speak.

"No need, we have been delayed for a long time on this journey, we must arrive as soon as possible." Lu Siyu said calmly, but from his expression, it can be seen that he is enduring and enduring the discomfort caused by his physical illness.

"But Mr. Lu's body...otherwise we can hire a carriage." Uncle Wang said again.

"Let's go." Lu Siyu looked at Uncle Wang, but didn't say anything else.

"Hey." Uncle Wang responded, and didn't say any more.

A group of people hurried and hurried, and finally reached the border.

Uncle Wang was familiar with the situation on the border, so he brought Lu Siyu directly to the magistrate's yamen.

"Who? The yamen is an important place. Ordinary people can't wait to enter." A group of people stood at the door, and were stopped by the yamen who stood at the door.

Lu Siyu took a step forward: "Master Zhuang and I are close friends. I'm here for a special visit. I hope I can meet Master Zhuang. Please let me know."

"Master Zhuang's friend..." Yacha frowned at him, "Really?"

"Really." Lu Siyu nodded seriously.

"Okay, you wait here for a while, I will report." Ya almost nodded, turned around and walked in.

Lu Siyu watched the other party enter the door, and he was a little relieved. Speaking of which, it has been half a month since he got the news. In addition, the courier here sent the letter to the capital, and the time before and after added up to nearly a month. , if something really happened, the people in the magistrate's yamen would not be so calm.

He came all the way here, and he didn't want Zhuang Jinhan to have an accident. Seeing the current situation, he felt that Zhuang Jinhan might have returned safely.

After a while, the clerk who came in to inform came out, and cupped his hands towards Lu Siyu: "Young master, please come with me, it's just..."

"I know," Lu Siyu nodded, and looked back at Uncle Wang and the others, "Uncle Wang, you go to an inn to rest first, and I will find it when I go out."

"That won't work, Mr. Lu is not familiar with this place, so I'm afraid we won't be able to find a place to stay. How about this, I'll let Xiao Qi stay here, and when Mr. Lu goes out, just follow Xiao Qi. "Uncle Wang said, and pulled out a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy from the team, who was Xiaoqi in his mouth.

"Alright," Lu Siyu nodded. He is indeed not familiar with this place. It is inevitable that he will go the wrong way when he walks alone. Just sit by the side for a while."

"Okay, don't worry, Mr. Lu, I won't tire myself out." Xiao Qi patted his chest and said with a smile.

Lu Siyu also smiled, then turned around and followed the yamen to the yamen.

After walking for a while, he couldn't help asking, "Is Master Zhuang busy recently?"

When he came into contact with Zhuang Jinhan, the other party was the magistrate of the county. At that time, because he always went to the county government office, so much so that the government officials knew him, and he would let him go without notifying him or stopping him.

Here, Zhuang Jinhan has a new identity, and these yamen servants will naturally not be like the yamen servants in the county government before.

"Well, Mr. Lu will know when he arrives." Yacha also heard Lu Siyu's conversation with someone before, so he directly called him that.

The yamen waiter kept silent, but Lu Siyu frowned.

The two of them came to a hall. Lu Siyu looked at a person standing inside, but he immediately noticed that the person was not Zhuang Jinhan.

Why isn't Zhuang Jinhan here?

"My lord, we're here." Ya Chai said, cupping his hands.

"Okay, you go down first." The man waved his back to the two of them.

"Yes." Yacha fell backwards and backed away.

After the yamen servant left, Lu Siyu couldn't help asking: "Master Tongzhi?"

The magistrate's yamen has assistant deputies, namely Tongzhi and Tongju. Lu Siyu guessed that the other party should be the prefect's Tongzhi.

"Mr. Lu has good eyesight." The other party turned around, but he was a man in his forties, perhaps because he was a bit heroic at this border, "My surname is Meng."

"Master Meng," Lu Siyu raised his hands in a bow, "Master Meng, do you know about Cao Min?"

"Exactly, Mr. Zhuang has mentioned Mr. Lu many times, but Mr. Lu has always been in the capital. I thought that I would never be able to meet Mr. Lu. I never thought that I would meet here." Mr. Meng said directly, from his Judging from Zhuang Jinhan's tone, his relationship with Zhuang Jinhan should not be bad.

"Master Meng must know the purpose of the grass people coming here." Lu Siyu didn't play charades, and told Master Meng directly.

"Did Mr. Lu come from the capital after receiving the news?" Master Meng looked at Lu Siyu's body. He could guess Lu Siyu's identity, but he didn't know that Lu Siyu came because of that letter. I'm afraid the road will be very hard.

"Exactly," Lu Siyu nodded, "Master Meng, please tell me the truth."

"Oh!" Master Meng shook his head, turned around slowly, and turned his back to Lu Siyu.

"Master Meng, but until now there is no news about Master Zhuang, or..." The last thing Lu Siyu wanted to hear was the latter news.

"I'm ashamed, it's been more than a month since Mr. Zhuang disappeared, but we still don't know the whereabouts of Mr. Zhuang." Mr. Meng still shook his head.

"It's just missing, is there any other news?" Lu Siyu continued to ask, he was eager to know about Zhuang Jinhan's situation, and he didn't want to see Zhuang Jinhan's accident, so this other news, he hoped it was good news, not bad news.

"Without any news, if this continues, without Mr. Zhuang, the magistrate's yamen may not be able to survive." Mr. Meng said helplessly, and he didn't like to see Zhuang Jinhan have an accident.

"In the current situation, no news is the best news. At least Mr. Zhuang did not have an accident," Lu Siyu said, "I wonder if Mr. Meng sent a government official to search for it?"

"Yes, there is, but the disappearance of Master Zhuang cannot be spread, so we can only search quietly, but Zhuang Jinhan has been missing for nearly a month now, if there is no news, the consequences will be disastrous." Master Meng shook his head again, as if he was powerless about it look like.

Lu Siyu frowned: "Caomin has an unfeeling request. Now that Mr. Zhuang's life and death are uncertain and the situation is critical, can Mr. Meng send more people out to look for it?"

"It's not that I don't want to," Mr. Meng finally turned around, "it's just that this place is not stable. There are many government servants who go out to deal with normal things every day. I'm afraid we won't be able to find so many people to find Mr. Zhuang. All we can do is search quietly, we can't startle the snake, please forgive me, Mr. Lu."

Hearing this, Lu Siyu finally understood what Master Meng meant.

He has never been very familiar with official affairs. Even in the capital, Song Jue often explained to him, and he suddenly realized. When he got here, no one explained. adults talk.

It was only after hearing this that he finally realized that what the other party meant was just two words in the final analysis-"resignation".

He expressed regret and heartache over Zhuang Jinhan's disappearance time and time again, but time and time again he said that the news of Zhuang Jinhan's disappearance should not be spread outside, that people should not be sent to search, and that he should not startle the snake.

"Actually, the emperor knows about my coming this time." Lu Siyu said suddenly.

"This..." Master Meng suddenly panicked, looking at Lu Siyu's eyes flickering, "Mr. Lu met the emperor?"

"Acquaintance is not counted," Lu Siyu smiled, "It's just that Master Meng knows who Master Zhuang's uncle is?"

"I know... I know," Lord Meng whispered, "Many people know Mr. Song's name."

"That's it," Lu Siyu nodded, "I came here this time because Young Master Song saw me off in person. Lord Meng thinks the emperor might not know about it?"

"This... this... this..." Mr. Meng was really panicked. Originally, this matter had been reported to the court, and he didn't think he cared much. Anyway, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him seemed to serve the emperor. will come.

"Don't say it's the emperor," Lu Siyu smiled, "The people who came with me this time are all from Mr. Song. If Mr. Meng is still so passive, if Mr. Zhuang Xiang knows about this, how will he feel? "

"Young Master Lu, it's not that I don't want to look for it, it's just that these bandits are really vicious." Master Meng couldn't bear it anymore, and finally couldn't help but said, "It's not that I don't want to look for it, it's just that I'm afraid of angering the bandits. , but caused Mr. Zhuang to have an accident."

"How do you say that?" Lu Siyu frowned.

"The thing is like this," Mr. Meng sighed, "Actually, bandits arrested people before. At that time, in order to wipe out the bandits, the yamen also dispatched a lot of people, but they didn't expect to be killed by bandits." The robbers' ambush, these people all died because of this, these bandits are inhumane people, plus they are numerous and powerful, it's not that I don't want people to investigate, it's just that the people who work in the yamen know more or less about the bandits Personality, if you act rashly, I'm afraid something will happen again."

"So why don't you investigate? Let Master Zhuang be caught by bandits?" Lu Siyu suppressed the anger in his heart, holding the edge of the table with both hands, trying not to get angry with Master Meng.

"It's not that we don't investigate, in fact, we have been investigating quietly these days," Mr. Meng said quickly, "It's just that those bandits are really cunning, and there are many mountains around, our people really can't find out who those bandits are. Where is it, but don't worry, Mr. Lu, this bandit arrest is not for harming people, but for people to help them work, Mr. Zhuang is not wearing an official uniform, so there should be no accidents in a short time."

"Is there really no clue at all?" Lu Siyu looked at him coldly.

"No..." Master Meng was about to shake his head, but when he saw Lu Siyu's staring eyes, he said quickly, "Yes, one thing, our people once saw bandits coming out to buy food, and just about to follow, they just Because some accidents did not keep up, so... so... the bandits should come out at a fixed time to buy some food."

"Send all the people who can be sent out to patrol, and make sure to find out where these bandits are going." Lu Siyu said directly.

"This……"

"Just find out the whereabouts, and we will discuss the matter later." Lu Siyu took a step back, and did not directly ask Mr. Meng to send someone to confront the bandits.

"I'll let someone investigate." Lord Meng nodded immediately.
