"I'm not the second lady, but regarding her matter, you two should immediately change your clothes and go out with me. The rest, just go out on the street and look for people." Tang Xihua did not tell everyone the full content of the letter, but just a few words A call was arranged.
After a while, Tang Xihua and others, who had changed into the escort robes, left the inn through the back window of the room.
A few people were walking scattered on the street. After finding Yaxuan Teahouse, they naturally dispersed inside.
As soon as we entered the teahouse, before asking where the Lanzi Yajian was, the waiter who delivered the letter saw Tang Xihua with sharp eyes, stepped forward and led him upstairs.
"Little lady." As soon as he entered the door, Tang Xihua greeted Hong Xiaoduo first, and several others said that they knew the person who sent the letter was this person.
Seeing Hong Xiaoduo smiling and nodding, but looking at the waiter outside the door, Tang Xihua refrained from asking immediately and signaled an escort to guard the door.
"Young lady, do you have any clues about my junior sister?" Tang Xihua asked urgently after the door was closed.
Hong Xiaoduo pointed at the unconscious man at the table and said, "Here are the clues." Then he told what happened.
"I'm not very good at this kind of thing, so I didn't interrogate him without authorization. I thought it would be safe to leave it to you to handle it. I can confirm that your junior sister's disappearance has absolutely something to do with them. What I can't confirm is that Are they local or from other places?
Now, I leave them to you," Hong Xiaoduo said.
"Thank you, little lady." Tang Xihua thanked him very gratefully.
"I just happened to hear it, so of course I want to inform you, so there is no need to say thank you. By the way, speaking of thanking the guy who sent you the letter just now, you can pay some errand fees later. I will do it for you. You promised." Hong Xiaoduo reminded him.
Then he got up and greeted the children and walked out. What should be said has been said and what should be done, so there is no need to stay here.
There are dozens of people in the escort agency. They are out there all year round, so they still lack a helper like her?
Finally there was news about his junior sister. Even though Tang Xihua wanted to thank this person properly, he knew it was not the right time.
We must seize the time to interrogate this unconscious man to prevent it from dragging on for too long and his accomplices may realize that rescuing people may be more troublesome if they are not prepared.
Tang Xihua and several other escorts were thinking about how to get the unconscious man away without being discovered by his accomplices, when they saw Hong Xiaoduo walking up to the unconscious man and untying his hands. He handed the things on his clothes to a child who was holding his trousers, and then he knelt down and untied the things tied around his ankles and handed them to another child.
Only then did he realize that the things tied up with the unconscious man were the belts of the two children.
Hong Xiaoduo stood up and walked to the door suddenly stopped and turned around. Tang Xihua thought she had something else to say, but he saw that she walked to the unconscious man and reached for the purse on his waist.
Huh? What is this for? No, she actually wanted to take this man's money bag?
Hong Xiaoduo touched a piece of silver and came out and said: "He said he was treating this tea and snacks, so of course he has to pay the money. By the way, I'll trouble you to deal with these problematic cakes and tea." After that, he waited in Tang Xihua. The man walked out with the child with a look of astonishment.
Before I paid for the tea and left the teahouse, I asked the waiter at the teahouse whether the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the tea table was made by my own pastry chef or bought from an outside pastry shop. When I learned that it was bought from an outside shop, I asked again. After finding the location of his shop, he left.
"Mom, are we going to buy sweet-scented osmanthus cake?" Yaoguang asked very happily but still a little uncertain, because the cakes for the road had already been bought.
Hong Xiaoduo leaned over and tapped the tip of her nose and said, "Yes, didn't our Xiao Yaoguang say that the sweet-scented osmanthus cake smells delicious? Then of course I want to buy it and try it." "
Yao Guang clapped her hands happily. Just when she was about to say it was great, she saw several brothers looking at her and quickly changed her words: "Mom, maybe it smells good, but it doesn't necessarily mean it will be good. Eat it, otherwise, let’s not buy it.” “Why don’t you buy it? I think the sweet-scented osmanthus cake looks delicious and I want to try it too.” Hong Xiaoduo looked at Yao Guang with apprehension. Looking at Tianshu and the others, they said something that didn't mean what they said, making them want to laugh.
"Brother, you heard me, my mother also wants to try it." Yaoguang said loudly, she was not the only one who wanted to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
Tianshu and Tianquan looked at the naive and easy-to-cheat snack food girls and shook their heads speechlessly.
I went to the pastry shop and bought some sweet-scented osmanthus cake. The store recommended a new product. I tasted it and it was really good, so I bought some more.
The adults and children returned to the inn. In addition to a bunch of dim sum buns, they also had roasted sweet potatoes, fried chestnuts with sugar, and sesame candies.
A quarter of an hour later, two carriages, one horse and one donkey, slowly left the town.
In the house on the west side of the town, a young man dressed up ran into the hall: "Uncle, I didn't find Ayi, but I saw the young lady with seven children you mentioned. , bought some snacks on the street, packed snacks in the car and just left the town.
However, a few days ago, Ayi was drunk and showed off to Xiao Xiao, saying that he was in love with the woman. The husband was a woodcutter. Husband, every time we have a good time, we have to wait for the woman’s husband to go up the mountain to chop wood. Master, tell me, is Ayi going to have a private meeting with the woman at this time?”
If Hong Xiaoduo were here, he would definitely recognize that the uncle the boy mentioned was the tall man who was with the short and thin man in the restaurant that morning.
After hearing what his men said, the uncle was so angry that he slapped the table: "I knew this bastard would never make it."
"Sir, please calm down, do we still want the big one, seven little ones? They still have a horse hanging on the back of the carriage. The donkey cart is not going very fast, so I arranged for someone to chase it. It's possible.
Didn't you also say that those eight are excellent goods? They were stolen and sent to the north together with the previous goods. After feeding him the cartilage powder, he will naturally become more honest, and there will be someone to train him when he gets there," the boy said.
Thinking of the old man and the seven young children he saw in the restaurant in the morning, the uncle also felt that it was a pity to miss such a good opportunity, otherwise he would not agree to A Yi to keep an eye on the investigation, but that It's a shabby thing, and no one has been seen yet.
"But the last time we went to the west to deliver goods, we lost a lot of people. Our manpower is tight now, and the people from the escort agency have not left. They can't find anyone who will report to the official. These days Everyone should proceed with caution," the uncle said with some concern.
When the young man dressed up heard this, he thought for a moment and said: "The people in the escort agency are looking blindly. They will look elsewhere after a few days. What's the use of them reporting to the official? If those few in the county government We won't be able to stay here for many years if we have nothing but food and wine bags.
Besides, it doesn't take many people to go there. I think it can be done by sending two experienced people.

Although the little lady was dressed like a charlatan, with a sword and a soft whip around her waist, she didn't see the slightest hint of her real kung fu aura. I'm afraid she didn't dress up like that just for the convenience of walking outside. .
Besides, the girl from the escort agency looks like she has some skills, but as a result, she can’t even beat our thugs.
We are here after they leave the town. It's more appropriate to do it outside. After you get it, hide the person outside first, wait for the people from the escort agency to leave, and then send it away with the goods in hand."
The uncle turned the ring on his finger hesitantly, feeling that what his subordinate said seemed to make sense.
The women who were accompanying dozens of people from the escort agency all started to rob them. There was no reason to dare to touch the ones without escorts. One young lady and seven children...
