    Xu Yong spit out the straw stick in his mouth and slowly retracted his body.

    Just a few minutes ago, he smelled an abnormal smell in front of the Zhou residence in Wang Gongchang.

    After Mr. Zhou disappeared, his family still lived here, but this mansion, which used to be full of laughter and laughter, has now lost its happiness and become deserted and fearful.

    In the past, Xu Yong often followed Liu Zhao and Liu Wei here. Mr. Zhou is a very easy-going and interesting person.  I never put on the airs of the master. Every time I go to the master's house, not only do I not have to set any rules, but I can also eat a lot of good food - the master especially likes to eat.  Talking and laughing is much better than following Liu Zheng and Liu Zhao.  So every time he said he wanted to go to Zhouzhai, he was impatient.

    Of course, the reason why he was so happy to go to Zhou's house was because he could see Zhou Juli.  Although Liu Wei didn't say it clearly, Xu Yong knew that the chubby little girl held in Mr. Zhou's arms was his sister.

    So every time he went to Zhou's house, he would find an opportunity to hug Zhou Juli and tease her.  Every time he saw Curie smiling at him, he almost cried.

    Liu Zhen once implicitly reminded him: Zhou Juli is his husband¡¯s biological daughter, and her mother is Yui.  Mr. Wang has placed him in high regard, and Zhou Juli is now a well-dressed young lady. She will definitely marry into a good family in the future.

    Although Xu Yong is only a young man, he still understands the implication.  I know that my love can only be kept deep in my heart and cannot be shown.

    Curie found a good home, and he followed Liu Zhen. Although he was not doing a glorious job, at least he was working for the master, and he had no worries about food and drink.  Liu Zhen treated him as a "closed disciple" and taught him many ways of the world.  In the future, with this ability, there will always be no problem in making a living.

    One day, Mr. Zhou suddenly disappeared.  He still remembered that he was called out by his master that day, and they came to the mansion together. With the women and children crying, they carefully searched the entire mansion, not even sparing the boudoirs of Yourong and Yui.

    Later, under Liu Zhao's order, all of Mr. Zhou's belongings, from clothes and hats to pens and ink, as well as all kinds of weird gadgets in his study As long as they were Mr. Zhou's things, not a single thing was left behind.  The boxes were packed and carried away on the shoulders of the house bearers.

    The only people left in this mansion are the two concubines, two children and a few servants left by the husband.  From then on, there was no laughter or laughter in the mansion.

    Later, he followed Liu Zheng or Zhou Lezhi back to his hometown several times. Even as a young man, he could feel the desolation of things changing and people changing.  Whether it's Yui or Yourong, as soon as they come, they will grab him frantically and ask where he went.  And every time, all they get is silence.

    Zhou Lezhi always comforted the two mistresses every time, but even in Xu Yong's eyes, this kind of comfort was better than nothing.  At the same time, the two children always looked at them with wide eyes and fear on their faces.

    Xu Yong couldn¡¯t bear it and always brought some snacks and candies to his children every time.  Fortunately, although Mr. Zhou disappeared, Mr. Wang still took good care of them, provided them with adequate food and clothing, and sent servants to continue to serve them.  Zhou Lezhi and others would also visit from time to time.

    One day, Xu Yong couldn't help but ask Liu Wei: Where has Mr. Zhou gone? Is he dead?

    Liu Wei asked, "Do you think Mr. Zhou is still alive?"

    Xu Yong thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhou is probably still alive."

    "Oh, why is that?"

    "If Mr. Zhou is really gone, why would Mr. Wang still need to take care of his family? I'm afraid he would have given some money to spend."

    "You boy, you are so cruel!" Liu Zheng said with a smile, but there was a look of relief on his face, "Maybe this is Mr. Zhou's last request? Let Mr. Wang take good care of his family."

    "According to my disciple, if this is the case, Mr. Wang will send them back to the farm in Jinhua and settle them down, and they will definitely not stay in the capital. It is obvious that Mr. Zhou is not only still alive, but he is probably still in the capital.  Within Beizhi"

    Leaving his family members in the capital to take care of them shows that Mr. Wang has scruples.  Also in case Mr. Zhou wants to go home one day.

    Liu Wei nodded slightly and said: "You are right. However, whether he is dead or alive, I am afraid only Mr. Wang himself knows."

    "Mr. Wang" Xu Yong hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether he should say it or not.

    "What do you want to say?"

    "There is something, I wonder if Master knows about it?"

    "What's up?"

    Xu Yong lowered his voice and said: "My disciple was once waiting for a job at Wang's house. He saw Wang Liang running into the study in a hurry and came out again. He muttered, 'This guy is so brave!'"

    Liu Wei didn¡¯t take it seriously: ¡°What¡¯s the matter with this¡­¡±

    ¡°At that time there was onlyMr. ? and Mr. Wang!  "

    Liu Wei suddenly became nervous: "What did they say?"

    "My disciple couldn't hear what was said in the inner study." Xu Yong said, "But later on when Wang Liang and Wang Zhi chatted, my disciple heard a few words, which probably said that Mr. Zhou had 'fallen out with the master over a woman' and mentioned  I came up with a name called 'Zhiling'"

    Speaking of this, Liu Zheng¡¯s expression changed!  After a long time, he was told not to mention this matter to anyone again.

    The master did not explain the reason, but judging from his expression, he knew exactly why Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhou were quarreling.  He vaguely felt that Mr. Zhou's disappearance was related to this matter.

    Although Mr. Zhou is missing, since Mr. Wang is still taking care of his family, his sister will be fine.  Both Yourong and Yui understand that their two children are their support and will not treat them badly.

    Liu Wei also asked him to visit Zhou Zhai in Wang Gongchang area every now and then.

    "Two "widowed" women with young children are as beautiful as flowers and have some money. They have no head of household who can support them and only have a few servants.  This is a piece of fat that is coveted by all parties.  Mr. Wang said hello in official terms that the yamen and local authorities would not embarrass them, but the people in the world could not control this.  Especially the gangsters who specialize in abducting and kidnapping unaccompanied women are even more eyeing.

    He softly teases her with words, exchanges letters, and finally instigates him to run away. If he refuses to run away, he will continue to have an ambiguous relationship with you to find out the secrets of the house.  Seeing the opportunity, he broke into the house and kidnapped the son's valuables.  This is a unique profession in the world.  There are especially many such villains in the capital.

    When it comes to security measures, it cannot be said that they are not strict.  After all, Liu Zhao is an old Jianghu and knows the dangers inside.  After being ordered to clean up Mr. Zhou's belongings, he dismissed most of the servants in the mansion, leaving only two servants from the Wang family to guard the door and serve in purchases.  On weekdays, the door is always closed, and except for daily shopping and taking out feces and garbage, the door is never opened.  As for the people in the mansion, they didn't go out for a while.  Yourong and Yui can only go out once a month to burn incense.  The stewards of the Wang family also visited the house from time to time.

    But as time went by, and I became very quiet and thought about things, I naturally started to get into trouble.  Especially in the past year, Yourong probably felt that there was no hope of her husband coming back, and she was unwilling to be lonely. Xu Yong knew that as long as she had this intention, someone would naturally take advantage of the opportunity.

    He doesn¡¯t care about Yourong¡¯s fate, but if something happens, the gangsters will not let Yui and the two children go. To them, these are the best ¡°goods¡±.  Even if they only abduct Yourong, what if Mr. Wang gets angry and no longer cares about Yui and the children?  He, Xu Yong, is not able to raise his sister alone.

    Therefore, he would patrol the vicinity of Zhou's house every once in a while to see if there was anyone suspicious.

    Today, as soon as he arrived near Zhou's house, he discovered something suspicious.

    The three idle men separated in the street in front of the gate of Zhou's house. They seemed to have nothing to do with each other, but they were staring at the gate of Zhou's house.

    Xu Yong knew something was abnormal, and after observing for a few minutes, he moved to the back door.

    The back door of the mansion is on a deserted alley, and no one walks around in broad daylight. But today, I saw a rare fruit stall not far from the back door.

    Although there are hawkers in such back streets and alleys, and they do the business of house servants, most of them are itinerant hawkers, selling while walking.  No one sets up a stall in a fixed place.

    When he saw this vendor, Xu Yong knew that someone was targeting Zhou Zhai.

    Since it is just a follow-up, it means that we will not take action for the time being.  Xu Yong slowly took a few steps back, turned around and left.

    Neither Mr. Wang nor the master took care of him to protect Zhou Zhai, but now that there is something strange around Zhou Zhai, it should be reported to the master immediately.

    It¡¯s just that the master is now as missing as Mr. Zhou. The only one who can ask for advice now is Mr. Le.

    Xu Yong did not dare to delay and immediately went to Wanping County Yamen.

    The moment he turned to leave, in a broken room that he didn't notice, someone nodded in the direction he left.  Two men who looked like businessmen followed immediately, one after the other.

    Although Xu Yong is young, he is quite courageous and has been influenced by his master and Mr. Le. Even if the matter is urgent, he knows that the more anxious he is, the more he must not break the rules.  So he followed his usual practice and left Wang Gongchang, but instead of going north, he went all the way east, along the outer wall of the Elephant Room to Xuanwu Gate.

    After wandering around the Langfang shops in Xuanwumen Wengcheng, he found the idle man following him.  He immediately gave up the idea of ??going back immediately and went straight out of Xuanwumen, arrived at Nancheng, walked all the way south, and entered Yongguang Temple.

    Today is the temple fair in Yongguang Temple. Xu Yong got rid of the tracking here and went straight to Liulichang. After confirming that he had gotten rid of the tail, he re-entered the inner city from Zhengyang Gate, leaving a big circle, and came to Wan  Pingxian County Yamen ducked into an alley beside the Yamen.

    This alley is very long, and the ground is full of mud and muddy water.  The lanes are even more winding.  Xu Yong walked around a crooked elm tree and hid in the well house next to it.  After waiting quietly for a few minutes and seeing no one following him, he left the well house.  Next to the well house was an inconspicuous alley that only allowed one person to pass, so he walked in.It was a temple fair.
