"No, no, something happened to the girl."

Hualu stumbled back. Magistrate Zhao and Butler Zhao who were waiting for Yun Miaomiao to come back for dinner were immediately frightened when they heard the sound and walked over quickly.

"What's wrong?" Magistrate Zhao walked to the door and met the panting Hua Lu, "What do you think happened to Miaomiao?"

Hualu's face was full of tears and she cried, "Master, girl, the girl was kidnapped. The girl and I went out on the street and encountered a gangster who kidnapped a little girl. Originally, the girl chased him to check the situation, but they blamed me for alerting the snake.

The girl was discovered by the other party and was arrested instead of saying anything. The girl used money to ask those people to let me go. I was knocked unconscious on the side of the road. As for when I left and where I went, I, I don’t know.

Know."

"What!"

Magistrate Zhao's shocked face instantly turned anxious. He quickly walked into the house, took out a sword, and shouted, "Steward, prepare your horse!"

While his mind was racing, he was thinking about who dared to attack Yun Miaomiao.

"Master, wait for me!"

Hualu wiped her tears anxiously and followed Magistrate Zhao.

Magistrate Zhao and the housekeeper prepared their horses and went to the alley. According to what Hua Lu said, they found the place where Yun Miaomiao was kidnapped.

However, there are only some messy footprints and some obvious signs of struggle, but nothing else.

Magistrate Zhao frowned deeply, and he began to look at these traces carefully. He found that in addition to Yun Miaomiao's footprints, there were several deep footprints, which seemed to be traces of someone who had not been forcibly taken away.

Since he was not taken away by force, he was taken away after he was unconscious.

His heart tightened, and an ominous premonition arose.

"Master, what should we do?" Hua Lu asked worriedly, "They must have left Ruizhou City by this time, girl~"

Magistrate Zhao pondered for a moment, and then decided, "Steward, find a few trustworthy people and come here to check carefully to see if you can find any clues. Hualu, you also stay here, and you guys follow me.

I want to see who is so bold as to attack my daughter, and who is so bold as to act arrogantly on my territory."

Although Magistrate Zhao has a slim chance of finding the person now, he cannot sit still and wait for death. He must do his best to find Yun Miaomiao.

Therefore, when Magistrate Zhao reached the city gate with firm and powerful steps, Wang Cheng happened to close the city gate.

When Wang Cheng saw County Magistrate Zhao rushing over with his people, he had a bad feeling in his heart, "Sir, what is this?"

The guard on the side quickly asked, "Guard Wang, you are on guard duty today, have you noticed anything unusual?"

Wang Cheng glanced at Magistrate Zhao and shook his head, "No, what happened?"

"There is a group of strong men, disguised as ordinary people, who specialize in arresting the helpless daughters in the city. Miss Yun happened to run into her while shopping today and was also arrested. According to Hua Lu, the trafficker arrested more than ten people.

We are chasing that group of women, including Miss Yun. Guard Wang, please think again, is there really nothing unusual tonight?"

If there is no abnormality, it means that everyone is still in the city, but they have just changed their hiding place. He can just close the door and search slowly.

Magistrate Zhao's face looked extremely ugly at this time, and he kept praying in his heart that Yun Miaomiao was okay.

Seeing Wang Cheng's silence, the guard around him suddenly reminded him, "Brother Wang, several large carriages came out of the city tonight. No one was on the carriages and they were all empty. Logically speaking, this is too conspicuous. Is there any problem?

?”

After Wang Cheng heard the guard's reminder, his eyes flashed, as if he thought of something, "An empty carriage?"

He frowned and pondered, "I remembered that around Shen Shi, there were indeed five or six empty carriages leaving the city gate. I didn't think much about it at the time. I didn't expect that this could be a clue."

Magistrate Zhao's eyes lit up and he asked urgently, "Is there anything special about these empty carriages? For example, color, size, are there any markings, etc.?"

Wang Cheng thought for a moment, "These carriages are all black and about the same size, but the wheels of one of them seem to be newer than the others. As for the markings, I really can't remember them."

He just looked at those carriages as ordinary passing carriages, and it was dark, so he didn't look at them more.

If he had known that this was the car that kidnapped Yun Miaomiao, he would never have let those carriages go so easily.

After hearing this, County Magistrate Zhao thought hard. He knew that this might be the key clue to find the missing women.

"Wang Cheng, go and recruit a few skilled people. I will take the people to Zhuipu now. If I can't find Miaomiao, I will no longer be the county magistrate." He said seriously.

"Sir, please think twice." Wang Cheng stopped him, "Miss Yun came back just to promote you to the position of prefect. If you leave, what will happen to Ruizhou City that we have worked so hard to protect?"

"Is it possible that you just stood there and watched Miao Miao being taken away without caring?" Magistrate Zhao roared angrily.

Wang Cheng was shocked and assured, "Sir, don't worry, my subordinates are in charge of pursuing the girl, and they will definitely try their best to rescue the girl. Sir, you must fulfill Miss Yun's expectations, otherwise you will wait until the girl

When we come back, Ruizhou City is gone, and then the efforts of the girl and His Highness will all be in vain."

County Magistrate Zhao was also in a dilemma. He knew this was the only way, so he nodded, "You must bring Miaomiao back safely. This is the homing pigeon I raised. Once there is any news, you can write back. No.

Any mistakes."

After persuading Magistrate Zhao away, Wang Cheng began to recall everything that happened tonight, trying to find more clues.

He knew that this mission was not only related to his personal future, but also related to the life and death of the missing women, as well as the safety of Ruizhou City.

In the next few hours, Wang Cheng ordered fifteen skilled guards, then settled all the affairs in the city, and began to ride out of the city.

We chased them all the way out of the city. The carriages were moving in a hurry and were the last ones to leave the city. There were several shallow ruts left on the pipes.

Following the direction of the ruts, Wang Cheng chased him all the way to the dock.

Finally, a lantern vendor selling lanterns flashed a nervous look on his face after seeing the empty carriages.

Wang Cheng immediately noticed this detail. He glanced at the guard on the side, and the vendor was immediately caught in front of him.

The vendor plopped down and knelt on the ground, "Sir, please forgive me, I don't know anything."

He sat on the stone bench at the ferry and looked quietly at the empty carriage in the night.

The carriage was empty, and the man who checked the carriage came back and said, "Brother, there is a hidden compartment under the base of the carriage. It will be no problem for five thin women to lie down there."

Wang Cheng's deep black eyes approached the hawker directly, and the hawker shivered in fright, "I, I really don't know. Those people just gave me the carriage and gave me one tael of silver as reward. I didn't dare to ask more.

Those people are so ferocious and terrifying that I dare not ask any more questions."

The moonlight shone on Wang Cheng's face, making him look a little pale, but his eyes were frighteningly heavy. He knew that Yun Miaomiao had been taken along the waterway. After leaving the dock of Ruizhou City, there were roads in all directions.

And there are no traces at all. No one knows where it will be taken.

After careful interrogation, it was found that the hawker was indeed not lying. Wang Cheng had no choice but to write a letter telling Magistrate Zhao about this, and then asked someone to immediately rent a boat and prepare to set off.

Seeing that they didn't do anything to him, the vendor couldn't help but said something more, "Brother, what on earth do you do? The accents of those people didn't sound like the people here, and I vaguely heard something.

As for Blue River, they all carried a dozen sacks on their boats, could they be thieves?"

"What Blue River?" Wang Cheng was keenly aware of the strange words, "They are the kidnappers who kidnapped the women in the city. Tell me, what else do you know?"

"What? A kidnapper?" The vendor was completely stunned, "Then those sacks contain women?"

Wang Cheng didn't have time to explain to him, "Do you still remember which direction they went?"

"Oh, brother, this is the ferry. After you get out of the opening outside, you can go anywhere." The hawker shook his head.

Another guard came over, "Boss, could it be Qin Lanhe he was talking about just now?"

"Miss Yun said that before, Qin Lanhe's water bandits were wreaking havoc in Jiangning Village, and everyone in the village disappeared. Now if it is really Qin Lanhe's gang of vicious water bandits, will Miss Yun~

"

He didn't say what he said next, but Wang Cheng could guess it. His face suddenly turned livid, "These bastards!"

He glared at the hawker, and then immediately led the guards and ran towards the ferry exit.

He knew that if those water bandits were really Qin Lanhe's people, then their rescue would not be that simple.

He couldn't let any harm come to these women, especially Miss Yun.

At this time, Yun Miaomiao opened her eyes in a daze. What she saw in front of her made her stunned for a moment. Where was she?

"You're awake~"

The voice came from the side. Yun Miaomiao looked sideways and immediately understood her situation, "Where is this?"

"We were caught together, and then they knocked us unconscious and took us to the boat. I heard that we were going to be sent to be the wife of the gangsters in Qin Lanhe. You have to eat something after sleeping for so long."

The woman handed her a steamed bun and said, "If my parents knew that I was missing, I wonder if they would be worried."

Only then did Yun Miaomiao realize that all the women of similar age were lying in the entire cabin, the same people she saw in the small dark room. The windows of the cabin were all nailed with wooden boards, and there were two men standing at the door.

Watch, there is nothing in the cabin except them.

"Thank you." Yun Miaomiao took the steamed bun, her heart full of doubts and worries.

Why did Qin Lanhe's people want to arrest someone, or a woman? Another thing is that she is on the boat now. Even if she wants to escape, it is not an easy task, not to mention there are so many people on the boat.

She took a bite of the steamed bun and silently thought about what to do next.

The boat moved forward slowly in the waves, as if it would be blown away by the wind at any time. There was an atmosphere of depression and fear in the cabin, which made Yun Miaomiao feel very uneasy.

Suddenly, the ship's hull shook violently, as if it hit something.

Several women screamed in fright, and Yun Miaomiao couldn't help but frown. She held the bun tightly and stared at the cabin door.

The cabin door was suddenly opened, and a man with a sinister face broke in. He stared, glanced at the women in the cabin, and cursed in his mouth: "What are you called? You stinky bitches, don't think you can escape."

Take it out of my hand! Be honest with me now, otherwise I will make you look good!"

After saying that, he glared at them fiercely, then turned and left.
