Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

Li Yuan and several guards quickly rushed into Jingyue Pavilion.

However, as far as they could see, there were no female shop assistants inside, only a few women doing some purchasing.

The group immediately searched the store.

They discovered that the old woman who had been soliciting customers, the female shopkeeper, and Miss Bai were all gone.

They only found two female helpers who knew nothing when asked.

Confirming Bai Yuxuan's disappearance.

Zhao Yong and Zheng Biao were terrified.

But they had no choice but to report back to the Marquis.

Li Yuan had never seen the Dragon骧 Marquis so furious.

"Order!"

"Let the Dragon骧 Army stationed outside the city enter the city immediately."

"Seal off the four gates of Qingzhou Prefecture and search every household for me!"

"I must rescue my sister!"

"If anything happens to Yuxuan."

The female Marquis said, gritting her teeth.

"I will leave no one alive in this Yunhua Lane!"

The guards all trembled.

Li Yuan also saw the intense killing intent in the Dragon骧 Marquis's eyes for the first time.

At this moment, she was not the gentle female Marquis she usually was, but a commander of thousands of troops filled with anger.

Li Yuan sighed. The female Marquis was anxious to save her sister.

But it was absolutely inappropriate to let the Dragon骧 Army enter the city to search.

After thinking for a while, Li Yuan felt that he was the only one who could offer advice.

So he stepped forward and said softly to the female Marquis.

"Marquis, wait a moment. Such an arrangement may harm Miss Bai."

Hearing this, the Dragon骧 Marquis looked at Li Yuan with anger on her face.

"Li Yuan, what do you mean by this?"

Li Yuan quickly cupped his hands and said.

"These villains have been plotting to kidnap people here for a long time."

"At this time, we must not pressure them too much."

"If the army enters the city and searches every household, those villains will be alarmed when they learn of Miss Bai's identity."

"That would be counterproductive and harm Miss Bai's life instead."

"So we must not act rashly now."

Li Yuan's analysis was well-founded, and Zhao Yong and Zheng Biao nodded frequently.

The Dragon骧 Marquis was first shocked, then nodded slightly and said.

"Li Yuan, you are right. I was reckless."

"What should we do now?"

Li Yuan thought for a moment and replied.

"The army definitely cannot move, but we can first have a hundred personal soldiers change into civilian clothes. They know what Miss Bai looks like."

"They can be divided into groups and search the city."

"Also, send someone to inform General Qingzhou and the local government to have the local yamen officers cooperate."

"I will send someone to carefully search Jingyue Pavilion for clues."

"Keep everything as low-key as possible to avoid alarming the thieves."

After hearing this, the Dragon骧 Marquis felt that Li Yuan was right.

She immediately ordered Zhao Yong to arrange for his personal soldiers to search in plain clothes.

Zheng Biao went to inform the prefectural general and the local government to send people to assist.

The Marquis and Li Yuan waited for news in Jingyue Pavilion.

Watching the guards being sent out, the Dragon骧 Marquis paced anxiously in Jingyue Pavilion with her hands behind her back.

Li Yuan brought the little thief over for questioning.

But the little thief was still uncooperative.

Li Yuan was not in a hurry and asked softly.

"What's your name?"

"I can't keep calling you little thief, can I?"

The boy was silent for a moment and said softly.

"You can call me Xiao He."

"Xiao He? Okay."

Li Yuan nodded and continued to ask him.

"How did you find out that there was a problem with this Jingyue Pavilion? Tell me in detail."

The boy kept his mouth shut, his eyes wandering.

Li Yuan continued.

"Don't be afraid. If you can help us find the people who were abducted by this Jingyue Pavilion."

"You will not only be blameless, but also meritorious."

"I can take you as my page, giving you a background."

"So you don't have to wander the streets anymore."

"What do you think?"

Xiao He's eyes widened instantly when he heard this, his expression seemed to say, who exactly are you?

Li Yuan reached out and took out his waist tag from his arms.

"I am the cavalry commander of the Dragon骧 Army."

"Don't ask anything else, just know that I am an official that even your Qingzhou General can't afford to offend."

Xiao He looked at the exquisite waist tag and believed Li Yuan's words by 70 to 80 percent.

He tilted his head and thought for a while before saying.

"That was a few months ago,"

"I was being chased near Jingyue Pavilion and happened to pass by their window."

"I saw those old women who solicited customers, luring women to smell a kind of scented powder."

"That scented powder was very strange. After the women smelled it, they passed out directly."

"Then a few strong women dragged the women away."

"As for where they were taken?"

"I don't really know."

"But it's definitely not a good place."

At this time, the Dragon骧 Marquis walked over a few steps and asked loudly.

"You little brat, why didn't you report to the authorities when you saw the villains kidnapping people!"

Xiao He gave a wry smile.

"This sister, I am just a poor child wandering the streets."

"If I go to report to the authorities, will they believe me?"

"If I'm not careful, I'll get a beating."

Li Yuan continued.

"So you stole things from those women in front of Jingyue Pavilion."

"And let them discover it on purpose, taking the opportunity to avoid this trap?"

Xiao He nodded.

"Yes."

"You said I saved their chastity."

"It's not too much to take some money as a reward, is it?"

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the butt by Li Yuan.

With a crisp sound.

Xiao He shrank his neck in fright, looked at Li Yuan with a flushed face and shouted.

"You... why did you hit me?"

Li Yuan looked serious.

"Stealing is stealing. If children don't learn well, they must be beaten."

"Remember, whether you are kind or malicious, stealing is wrong and should be beaten."

"No one cared about you before, but I will take good care of you from now on!"

"If you steal again, I will beat your butt to pieces."

Xiao He pouted and muttered in a low voice.

"You make it sound easy. Where do we poor children get our livelihood?"

"If we don't steal, we would have starved to death on the streets like dead dogs."

Li Yuan thought about it and felt that it was true, so he said softly again.

"I will not pursue the past."

"But from now on, you will follow me and do everything according to my rules."

Xiao He's eyes flickered, but he didn't speak.

Li Yuan continued to ask.

"Which direction do the people from Jingyue Pavilion usually take the women?"

Xiao He shook his head.

"I can't see it. They are very careful."

"However, it should be towards the north city."

"I have seen the old woman who solicits customers in the north city."

"But I don't know where she lives."

Li Yuan nodded slightly, thinking.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the street, and many people came in.

The leader was General Qi Dekuan of Qingzhou.

He was dressed in plain clothes, with a serious expression and hurried steps.

He entered Jingyue Pavilion and knelt directly on the ground with a thud.

"Marquis, this subordinate has failed to govern properly. Please punish me."

The Dragon骧 Marquis sighed.

"Forget it, let's find my sister first."

"Send all your people out, remember not to startle the snake."

Qi Dekuan immediately stood up and said solemnly.

"Don't worry, Marquis, I will arrange it immediately."

"I will definitely ensure Miss Bai's safety."

Then he went out, and the yamen officers and soldiers who came with him dispersed in all directions.

The female Marquis shook her head as she watched these people's figures.

She didn't know why, but she had a feeling now.

That the person who could really find her sister Bai Yuxuan.

Maybe it was only Li Yuan.
