Chapter 407
The other guards also slowly woke up.
A guard said: "The fourth young master turned into a rabbit and ran away."
Another guard was horrified: "What? Isn't it going to turn into an eagle?"
Guard No. 4: "Are you really here with the Fourth Young Master? Aren't we here because we have stomach discomfort?"
Guard No. 5 said slowly: "I remember saying it was time to have lunch."
The others looked at him in surprise, and then looked at the toilet nearby.
Are you sure? Bro!
Guard No. 5, the eldest brother, realized something was wrong and asked tentatively, "Using your butt to serve rice?"
Everyone looked at Guard No. 6 with expectation, and Guard No. 5 was considered useless.
Number Six touched his head and said, "I think I saw... Concubine Ji?"
He wasn't sure.
Ji Yunqing had long given up hope on these people ever since he heard that Ruirui turned into a rabbit and ran away.
She frowned and tried several times, and finally stood in a position that allowed her to face several guards at the same time.
Squatting in the corner, Ji Yunqing felt something was wrong behind him. He suddenly pulled up the weeds beside the wall, and then he saw a very large dog hole.
She stuck her head out and saw several fresh footprints.
Although this place is land, it is a bit dry due to the good weather and no rain recently, so footprints are generally not clearly visible.
But it is much more convenient to observe from the corner.
She soon saw fresh traces, traces of human activity.
Following this direction, Ji Yunqing squatted on the ground and observed other footprints carefully.
Soon, she chose a direction, but this street led to many places, and there was a possibility of changing direction along the way.
Looking at so many low thatched houses, Ji Yunqing felt more confused than ever before.
She turned and looked at King Zhao.
"Your Majesty!"
King Zhao did not waste time. He also had no hope for these guards who had woken up from their coma.
But there aren't many people in this place, so you can search door to door nearby.
The order was given quickly.
After doing these things, King Zhao stepped forward and held Ji Yunqing's hand.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine"
"I'm so scared now. What if I can't find my child..."
Ji Yunqing felt upset: "If I had known, I would have come with him."
"Fortunately, it was discovered in time, the child will be fine."
"Um"
Ji Yunqing nodded heavily. Although she said so, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
I simply cheered myself up and said, "My Lord, I will go around and ask everyone.
No, let the guards search while calling all the villagers to gather here. Whoever gives the clue first will get paid, one thousand taels, and you must be the first to give it out!"
After saying this, Ji Yunqing quickly calmed down.
"Even if that person doesn't hand Rui Rui over, it depends on whether others will cooperate."
Ji Yunqing said this, his eyes full of anger.
Without waiting for King Zhao to continue comforting her, she started to do it in a hurry.
After walking a few steps, Ji Yunqing turned around and said, "My Lord, wait here."
What if Ruirui is found?
With the bounty on their side, many villagers bravely came out to watch the fun.
At this time, they finally saw the village chief of Liujia Village.
The village chief had a haggard look on his face and seemed to be quite old. He stood in front, trembling, leaning on a cane.
King Zhao lowered his eyes, and just standing there he looked majestic without even getting angry.
The old village chief was so frightened that he trembled and dared not speak, let alone look at her.
Ji Yunqing can come for questioning, so there is no need to expect King Zhao to come in person.
She said with a stern face: "Are you the village chief here?"
The old village chief looked at the lady in front of him, who was dressed in luxurious clothes and was obviously from a prominent family. Add to that the stylish look, the scary man with the black face, and the group of strong men.
Dare not not respond.
"Yes, the old man is the village chief?"
Ji Yunqing nodded: "Our child is missing, go ask if anyone has seen him"
She suddenly raised her voice and quickly pulled out the knife carried by the guard beside her. The white light of the knife flashed across everyone's eyes in the sunlight, and it was chilling.
"If I can't find the child before today, you will all be buried with my child!"
Everyone was so frightened that they dared not say a word.
The scene was completely silent, with only the continuous chirping of cicadas in the trees.
First calm the situation down, then it's time to give some sweet treats.
Ji Yunqing continued loudly: "Anyone who has accurate clues will receive 100 taels of silver on the spot, and anyone who can find the child safely will be rewarded with 1,000 taels!"
One hundred taels!
One thousand taels!
No family in the entire village had a hundred taels of silver, let alone a thousand taels.
In an instant, everyone became excited.
His eyes flickered. If he just randomly gave a clue...
Money is the key to success
"Of course"
Ji Yunqing held a knife in his hand and blocked it in front of him with an amazing momentum.
"Anyone who dares to give false information will be convicted of the same crime as the child kidnappers and will be killed as an accomplice without mercy!"
The villagers' minds, which had been heated up by the one hundred taels of silver, instantly cooled down.
No one dared to rush forward.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ji Yunqing took out a silver note and held it high: "This is a hundred taels of silver note, let's see who has the ability to do it!"
Seeing the real banknotes, some people dared to rush forward even if they were afraid.
Widow Zhang swallowed hard and squeezed out of the crowd: "Madam, are you really going to give me the silver?"
"As long as the information you tell is accurate"
"Okay, I'll tell you."
Widow Zhang lived in a house not far away. She saw what happened with her own eyes, but like everyone else she dared not say anything.
If there is no benefit, who would stand up and take the limelight?
“I did see someone take a child away.”
Ji Yunqing's heart skipped a beat. "Who is it? Male or female? What does she look like? Where is she now?"
Widow Zhang didn't say anything. She wanted to talk about the conditions again: "Madam, if I tell you, can you take me and the child away from this place?"
She was a woman bought from outside. After her husband died, the widow and orphan were driven out by her parents-in-law and uncles, and had to live in a shabby house with her child.
But seeing that her younger brother-in-law was about to get married, her parents-in-law planned to sell her again. The four-year-old daughter was to be sold to Liu Shazi, a 30-year-old man from the neighboring village, as a child bride.
She wanted to leave so badly, especially after getting the money. If she didn't leave that night she would be beaten to death and her money would be taken away.
Ji Yunqing looked at her and said, "This is very simple. It's OK."
Afterwards, Widow Zhang told everything she knew.
"The woman who left with the child came with you. I saw with my own eyes that woman waved her sleeves and all the warriors fell to the ground, just like a half-immortal performing a magic trick."
"Then the woman took the child to Goushengzi's home. I don't know what happened after that."
After she finished speaking, a sarcastic female voice rang out in the crowd: "You ***, my dog is at home well, but I don't see any children."
The person who was speaking was a famous shrew in the village and also the mother of Goushengzi. Widow Zhang usually didn't dare to confront her.
Now, looking at the silver that was about to be in her hands, she mustered up her courage and said, "Letting you go means I'll go to your house. That woman is nowhere to be seen now. Did she leave her behind as well?
Your dog Shengzi loves to watch the fun, why didn't he come? "
