Accidentally provoke the leader of the cult

Chapter 26

Just as they were about to push the door and leave, the magistrate of Xiangyang who nodded and bowed to them just now seemed to be a different person, blocking the door with one hand: "Everyone, where are you going?" of contempt.

"Where are we going, do you need to bother the magistrate?" Su Mo subconsciously shifted his head, frowning.

The sharp cry from a distance seemed to be covered by someone's hand suddenly, and it was as silent as death.Although Su Ziyin is usually noisy and loves to cause trouble, but when it comes to serious business, he will definitely not hold back.

From the change in the prefect's attitude, he knew that there was something wrong with the mansion. He reached out and tugged Su Mo's sleeve secretly.Su Mo had been with him all the time anyway, and immediately realized this.

"I also ask all the brothers and sisters of Fengyue Jianzhuang to do their own things, and don't just go away." The magistrate made a bow, slightly tugged at the corner of his mouth, and smiled meaningfully at them, but his body did not move. He stood at the door all the time, not giving in at all.

Su Mo received Su Ziyin's hint, glanced at the magistrate for a while, stepped back, and several pedestrians retreated into the house one by one.Before leaving, the magistrate returned to his previous politeness: "My lords are waiting in the house, I specially prepared fresh food for you."

Hearing what the magistrate said, Su Mo didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

"We have startled the snake." Su Qian said after the magistrate left.

As soon as the words finished, Su Ziyin nodded: "Yes, I thought the magistrate of Xiangyang was an honest man, but I didn't expect him to be so glib."

There was disgust in Su Ziyin's eyes. He already hated the flattery in the officialdom, and this magistrate had two faces.

"The magistrate is not afraid of us, he even said that he is not afraid of the people of Fengyue Jianzhuang." Yang Che said.

"No," Bai Qianji said, his voice still as cold as ever. After he finished speaking, he picked up his teacup and blew gently. After being stared at by the group of people curiously for a while, he continued, "Is he jealous? Fengyue Jianzhuang, but in order not to expose what he has done, he will not hesitate to offend us."

After finishing speaking, I heard the steward outside, and brought in plate after plate of food.The steward didn't even look around after entering the room, and left after placing it on the table.

"This is, lychee?" Su Ziyin exclaimed in surprise that there were strange fruits from the Western Regions in the plate after plate of exquisite food.Although he loves glutinous rice dumplings the most, all delicacies are his favourites. He looked at the full plate of lychees, and his eyes seemed to shine.

"This? This year my father gave me only a small bunch." Yang Che was even more surprised. He picked out one from the inside and peeled off its shell. After speaking, he stuffed it into his mouth, " Woo... so sweet."

"Is this magistrate so rich?" Su Qian looked at Yang Che and Su Ziyin who took one after another.

"It's not something you can get with money." While speaking, Bai Qianji kept looking at Su Ziyin who was crazily grabbing food.Sensing his gaze, Su Ziyin pulled a bright red lychee from a branch, handed it to Bai Qianji, and said with a smile, "How about it, are you gluttonous? You've been staring at me with a greedy look. "

Bai Qianji didn't explain, but nodded along with his words, and took the lychee with her slender white hands.The gorgeous and ostentatious bright red made Bai Qianji's hands as white as jade, very beautiful.Su Ziyin watched his good-looking hands dexterously peel off the lychee, then slowly stuffed it into his mouth, spit out the core and covered his mouth with his hand, put it on the table gracefully, and finally wiped it with the handkerchief. After wiping his mouth and hands, his movements are smooth and smooth, like a fairy.

"Young master, His Royal Highness has finished eating the lychees, so you have nothing to eat." Su Qian silently reminded, looking at Su Ziyin with pity. Small animals with shrugging faces and ears.

"Now that we are in the clear, we can no longer investigate openly, so what should we do?" Su Mo asked.

"Then let's investigate secretly." Yang Che said, still chewing on the lychee.

They are quite capable of moving.In the middle of the night, Su Qian, dressed in black, went out from the main entrance openly.

"My lord, is there anything wrong with going out so late?" The housekeeper immediately blocked the door after he opened it, and his attitude was quite polite.

"Come out to get some air." The door was half-closed, and Su Mo inside could clearly see the gesture of Su Qian's hand behind his back.Su Mo sneaked away through the back window while they were talking.

Su Qian left the room without talking to the butler.

"We are probably under surveillance and cannot move around freely," Su Qian said.They had expected that someone was squatting outside, but fortunately there were not many people, so Su Mo managed to slip out.

Su Ziyin and Yang Che looked at each other and smiled, "How is it? Is the matter big enough this time? Can you experience it?" Yang Che kept a straight face and was a little stiff at all other times except eating lychees. Su Ziyin saw Yang Che like this, joked.

Yang Che sighed: "Hey, I always feel that things are not so simple this time."

Yang Che's intuition is always strong. When Su Mo came back, his face was a little ugly, and Su Qian stepped forward to pat him. "What's wrong, did you see anything?"

Su Mo's face was still ugly.Seeing this, Su Ziyin quickly gave up his seat, helped him to sit down, and poured a cup of tea for him by the way.

"I just went out and found the source of the screaming based on my impressions. But it seems that they have realized something and moved everything. The few rooms I went to were all empty and there was no one there. I went in and checked, and found that there were still some undried blood and messy footprints on the floor." Hearing the blood, everyone looked at each other, and their hearts skipped involuntarily.

"Later, I followed the footprints and wheels to check. After chasing for a few miles, there were a few thatched cottages, and there were constant whimpers. I felt something was wrong, so I went up to check." Su Mo There was a tremor between the voices, and the hand holding the teacup trembled a little.

Su Qian patted him on the shoulder to show comfort.Bai Qianji was seriously silent at first, but when he heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at everyone.

"I see a room full of girls."

"They were all struggling, with hideous faces."

"There are countless people guarding them in the middle of the room. Judging from their stature, they are all martial arts practitioners, and their martial arts are strong. I squatted on the roof for a while. When I was about to leave, the patrolling people outside noticed someone and came over. Hunt me down, and I'll be back right away. However, after this time, they will definitely be more cautious, and I think they must have shifted their positions when they go to see it tomorrow."

"How could this be?" Yang Che had never felt the danger in the world. He had been living in the palace and was protected by many people all day long.The same is true for Su Ziyin, who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. This is also the first time he has run away from home so far, and he has never heard of the suffering of the people.

The same is true for Su Qian and Su Mo. After hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Bai Qianji, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Let's leave the prefect first. Here, we are passive."

Like a life-saving straw, Su Ziyin nodded quickly when he heard his voice.

They moved quickly and moved out of here the next day.The magistrate just wanted to keep an eye on them and not wander around in the mansion, but he didn't have the guts to imprison them.

They moved into the inn smoothly, and Bai Qianji said to Su Qian and Su Mo: "You two have martial arts and take turns watching outside, the magistrate will definitely send someone to watch us." The voice was cold but no one could question it, Su Qian Su Mo was overwhelmed by the sudden momentum, and nodded unconsciously.

Su Ziyin's qinggong is very good. He suggested that he go to the place where Su Mo visited yesterday, but everyone refused.

"No way! You didn't scare the snake in the past, you exposed it directly!" Yang Che glanced at him and said.

"I'll go." Su Qian patted the dejected Su Ziyin, said, and left without waiting for anyone to say anything. "What can we do in the city? Wait?"

"Let's go to the city and ask if anyone's girl is missing." Although Bai Qianji seldom spoke and didn't speak often, every time he spoke was the key point.Su Mo circled around with the man who was staring at them from the dark, and they took advantage of this opportunity to leave the inn.

As soon as he went out, he met an old woman who was crying loudly: "My life is so miserable, my girl!"

Surrounded by other people to dissuade him: "Have you reported to the official? Have you looked for it?"

Yang Che signaled the little eunuch to ask.

After asking, I found out that the girl who was about to marry was kidnapped by someone, and I don’t know who did it. After reporting to the police, some arresters came to investigate the case for a few days, but they couldn’t find any clues. Let it go.

Yang Che was terrified when he heard this, he should be abducted by the magistrate, and then asked the magistrate to ask someone to investigate the case, of course nothing can be investigated!After some investigation, dozens of girls have disappeared in the city. Some have been missing for five years, and some have only been missing for a few days. .

I don't know, what role does the magistrate of Xiangyang play in it?

After they inquired about the news, they returned to the inn, just in time for Su Qian's return. "When I got there, the ground was covered with blood, but the building was already empty. I was a little worried about the safety of those girls." Su Qian frowned, losing her former spirit.

"I must go to the magistrate again." Su Ziyin said angrily with a flickering expression. "This matter must have involved a lot of people, otherwise they wouldn't act so arrogantly. I'd like to see who is behind it."
