Xia Xi went to Zhang Jia.

There was not even a gatekeeper at the gate. Xia Xi went straight in.

Aunt Zhang didn't close her eyes for several days and nights, and she didn't drink a mouthful of water, let alone eat. She held up a little spirit and waited for Master Zhang to come back to find Qing'er. All the servants in the family are sent out by her to find Qing'er, leaving only a little servant girl to wait on. Suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in the hospital, thought that Qing'er had news, in the heart a joy, want to stand up, but the whole body did not have a little strength, told the little maid, "you, go, go!"

The little servant girl ran out and opened the door. She was stunned to see that it was Xia Xi. Then she turned back and cried happily, "old lady, it's Xia Niangzi."

"Let her in!"

The little servant girl is beating the curtain, and Xia Xi goes in.

Aunt Zhang moved her body and endured dizziness, "Xi'er."

Xia Xi saw her strange, strode over, grabbed her hand, put it on the table, put her finger on it, released it after a while, and told the little maid, "go and cook porridge."

"No, I'm not hungry."

"You have to eat if you are not hungry. Go and boil some."

Little servant girl should be, turn round to go out.

Aunt Zhang's eyes were red. "Qing'er, I'm sorry for your family. If I hadn't gone out late, Qing'er would not have disappeared."

"Not necessarily."

Xia Xi doesn't want to hide it from Aunt Zhang, because even she can't hide it.

Aunt Zhang's mind is not clear, did not understand the meaning of Xia Xi's words, "what, what is not necessarily?"

"My brother-in-law also had an accident on his way to Beijing."

Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Xia Xi's hand and asked eagerly, "ze'er, he, he..."

"He's hurt a little, but he's OK."

Aunt Zhang went down in one breath, "it's ok if it's OK, it's ok if it's OK."

Then thinking of Xia Xi's words just now, his chaotic head suddenly became clear, "do you mean someone is staring at our house? First he hurt ze'er, then he cheated Qing'er? "

Aunt Zhang also analyzed that not only Qing'er, but also the coachman and the servant girl who followed her disappeared. When Qing'er left home, it was not too early. It was just when there were many people on the street, and there were so many people. If she was hijacked, someone would see that Qing'er disappeared quietly. That is to say, Qing'er was willing to follow others.

Xia Xi nodded, "it should be like this, otherwise where there is such a coincidence."

"Then..."

Aunt Zhang was very anxious. "What do they want to do?"

Xia Xi shakes her head.

Aunt Zhang's heart sank to the bottom.

"Call all the servants back. Keep the change."

"But..."

Aunt Zhang still holds a glimmer of hope. Today, she asked her servants to look for her in the nearby mountains. What if she could hear from Qing'er?

"Since the person behind has made a move, he must have worked out a complete plan, and surely he won't be found by us. In this case, don't bother to call the person back and keep him at home. If there is any news, he can report it to my home in time."

The little servant girl carefully brought in the porridge and put it in front of Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang picked up the spoon and stirred it. She didn't want to eat.

Xia Xi advised, "you don't think for others, but also for Qing'er. If you fall ill, who will take care of her when she comes back?"

"I know. I just have no appetite."

"You have to eat if you have no appetite. If you break down, there will be no one in charge at home."

Aunt Zhang had to drink half a bowl. She couldn't eat any more. She put down her spoon and pushed the bowl aside. "What shall we do next?"

"You stay at home and see if anyone has come to deliver news these two days. I'll go to the county government and ask if there are mountain bandits in several nearby counties."

"Then go quickly!"

Xia Xi also told her a few words, went to the county government.

The County Hall was empty, and there was no one in it. Xia Xi went in from the main entrance, but didn't see anyone. She stepped back, went to the drum, picked up the drumstick, and knocked a few times.

The county master was in the back hall. He didn't know what to think. He suddenly heard the drum. He was so scared that he told him subconsciously, "come on, go and see what happened?"

No one answered. He remembered that all the people were sent out to find Qing'er by him. He got up quickly, straightened the official robe and walked quickly to the front hall.

The master was sorting out the case. He heard the drums and came to see the county master

"Go and see who's beating the drum."

Master, run to the door quickly.

Xia Xi puts down her drumstick and goes inside.

The master saw that it was her and was stunned. "Fight... Fight princess."

"It's me. When I saw that there was no one in the county government, I beat the drum."

The master's brain was sweating. He said in a hurry, "all the people in the government are sent by the master to find Miss Qing'er. There are only me and the master left. I'll sort out the case in the back."

The county master also enters the front hall and sees Xia Xi. His steps pause. Subconsciously, he wants to turn around and go back. However, Shengsheng holds back, bites his teeth and comes out quickly to give Xia Xi a salute.

Xia Xi waved his hand, "I came here to ask, where are the bandits in the nearby counties?"

The county master looked at her face. "Do you mean Miss Qing'er was taken away by the bandits?"

"It's not impossible."

I don't know why, the county master's face relaxed, "Princess Zhan is right. Just a moment, I'll ask the master to check it right away."

Xia Xiang followed her into the lobby. The master moved a chair to her, and then hurried to the back.

The county master sat at the desk and waited for a quarter of an hour. The master came back sweating. "I checked. There was no trace of bandits in several counties nearby."

"That's strange..."

Xia Xi frowned and looked at the first county master. "If it wasn't a mountain bandit, who would have cheated my sister?"

"Cheat?"

The master asked in disbelief.

The county gentleman as like as two peas jumped up, his voice was not easily detectable, and his voice was just like his master. He could not believe it.

"Yes, cheat."

Xia Xi nodded, "since there are no bandits in several nearby counties, it means that Qing'er was not kidnapped. Since she was not kidnapped, how could she disappear out of thin air? The only explanation is that she was cheated, cheated out of the city, and then abducted."

County Master face and invisible trembled, "I understand, war Princess rest assured, I can send people to investigate outside the city, do not find people, never give up."

"Please don't look for it. It's been several days. I'm afraid Qing'er has already been taken away from Pingyang County."

"No way."

The county magistrate insisted, "I'm the parent official of Pingyang County. Under my jurisdiction, miss Qing'er is missing. This is my dereliction of duty. If I don't send someone to look for her, I'll be a parent official in vain!"

"In that case, thank you. I also asked the master to call the painter over. I asked him to draw a picture of Qing'er for the Yamen officers to take it. It's better to inquire about the place ten miles around Pingyang County. "
