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

Just a few minutes ago, he smelled a trace of abnormal smell in front of Zhou's house in Wanggong Factory.

After Mr. Zhou disappeared, his family still lived here, but this mansion that used to be laughed and laughed, has now lost its happiness and become deserted and frightened.

In the past, Xu Yong often followed Liu Zhao and Liu Chi here. Mr. Zhou was a very easy-going and interesting person. He never acted like a master. Every time he went to the master's house, he not only did not need to set rules, but he could also eat a lot of good things - the master especially liked to eat. Talking and laughing was much better than following Liu Chi and Liu Zhao. So every time he said he wanted to go to Zhou's house, he was impatient.

Of course, the reason why he was so happy to go to Zhou's house was because he could see Zhou Curie. Although Liu Qing did not say it clearly, Xu Yong knew that the white and fat little girl was his sister who was held in Mr. Zhou's arms.

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

Liu Qi once implicitly reminded him: Zhou Curie is the husband's biological daughter, and her mother is Yui. The husband is valued by Mr. Wang, and Zhou Curie is now a lady with beautiful clothes and food, and she will definitely marry a good family in the future.

Although Xu Yong was just a teenager, he could understand the implicit meaning. He knew that his love could only be kept in his heart and could not be revealed.

Curie has a good relationship, and he followed Liu Chi. Although he did not do any glorious work, he was at least working as a worker for the master and had no worries about food and drink. Liu Chi treated him as a "closed disciple" and taught him many tricks. In the future, with this ability, it will be fine to make a living.

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

Then, under Liu Zhao's order, all Mr. Zhou's objects, from clothes to pens and ink, were connected to all kinds of strange gadgets in his study... As long as it was Mr. Zhu's things, nothing was left, and they were packed in boxes and carried away by the young men carrying the house.

All that remained in the mansion were the two concubines, two children and several servants left by the husband. From then on, there was no longer laughter and joy in the mansion.

Later, he returned to his mansion with Liu Li or Zhou Lezhi several times. Even if he was just a young man, he could feel the desolation of things and changes. Whether it was Yui or Yourong, as soon as they came, they would crazily ask the husband where he went? And every time, they could only get silence.

Zhou Lezhi always comforted his two master's wives every time, but this kind of comfort was better than nothing even in Xu Yong's eyes. At the same time, the two children always stared at them with panic on their faces.

Xu Yong couldn't bear it and always brought some snacks and candy to his children every time. Fortunately, although Mr. Zhou disappeared, Mr. Wang still took good care of them and had no shortage of food and clothing. He sent servants to continue serving. Zhou Lezhi and others would visit him from time to time.

One day, Xu Yong couldn't help but ask Liu Chi: Where did Mr. Zhou go and is he dead?

Liu Chi asked back, "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 this?"

"If Mr. Zhou is really gone, why should Mr. Wang take care of his family? I'm afraid he'll give him some money long ago."

"You boy, you are cruel enough!" Liu Qi smiled, but there was a look of relief on his face. "Maybe it was Mr. Zhou's dying instructions? Let Mr. Wang take good care of his family."

"In the eyes of the disciple, if this is true, Mr. Wang will send them back to the farm in Jinhua and settle them, and will definitely not stay in the capital. It is obvious that Mr. Zhou is not only alive, but also probably in the capital, and he is also in Beizhi..."

Leaving the family in the capital to take care of him means that Mr. Wang is concerned about Mr. Zhou going home one day.

Liu Qi nodded slightly and said, "You make sense. However, I am afraid that only Mr. Wang himself knows whether he is dead or alive."

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

"What do you want to say?"

"There is something I don't know if the master knows it?"

"What's up?"

Xu Yong lowered his voice and said, "Once one time my disciple was in the Wang family, I saw Wang Liang hurried into the study and come out again, muttering, 'This guy is so brave!'."

Liu Chi didn't care: "What's the matter..."

"There were only two people in the study room, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Wang!"

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

"The disciple can't hear the words in the inner study room." Xu Yong said, "But later, Wang Liang and Wang Zhi chatted, and the disciple heard a few words, probably saying that Mr. Zhou "turned against the master for a woman" and mentioned a name called 'Zhiling'..."

Speaking of this, Liu Qi's face changed! It took him a long time to tell him not to mention this matter to anyone.

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 was gone, since Mr. Wang was still taking care of his family, his sister was not seriously injured. Whether it was Yourong or Yui, they all understood that two children were their support and would not treat the children badly.

Liu Chi also took care of him and went around Zhou's house in Wanggongchang every few days.

Two "widowed" women with young children are like flowers and jade, with some money, and there is no head of the family who can establish a household, only a few servants. This is a big fat meat coveted by all parties. Mr. Wang greeted the officials, and the yamen and local card armor would not make things difficult for them, but the figures in the martial arts world cannot control these things. Especially the gangsters who specialize in abducting and kidnapping and kidnapping alone women are even more eyeing them.

The soft-soft teased with words and exchanged letters, and finally instigated them to escape privately; if they refused to escape privately, they would continue to find out the work and schedule of the house. They seized the opportunity, broke into the house, and captured the woman's soft-soft. This is a proprietary business in the world. There are especially many such evil people in the capital.

If you want to talk about the protection of the customs, it cannot be said that it is not strict. After all, Liu Zhao is an old man and knows the danger inside. After being ordered to clean up Mr. Zhou's belongings, he sent off most of the servants in the mansion, leaving only two families of Wang's family to guard the door and serve the purchase. On weekdays, the door is tight, and in addition to purchasing items every day and cleaning up feces and garbage, he never opens the door. As for the people in the mansion, they don't go out casually. Yourong and Yui can only burn incense once a month to go out. The manager of the Wang family also goes to the house from time to time to patrol.

But after a long time, I was very quiet and thoughtful, so I naturally made trouble. Especially in recent years, Yourong probably felt that his husband had no hope of returning and was quite unwilling to be lonely. Xu Yong knew that as long as she moved this heart, someone would naturally take advantage of the opportunity to enter.

He didn't care about the fate of Yourong, but if something happened, the bad guy would not let Yui and his two children go. For them, this was a good "good". Even if you only kidnap Yourong, what if Master Wang gets angry and doesn't care about Yui and the children? Xu Yongke is not able to raise his sister alone.

Therefore, every now and then, he always had to visit the Zhou house to see if there were any suspicious people.

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

Three idle men separated in the shape of a font on the street in front of the gate of Zhou's house, which seemed to have nothing to do with each other, but they stared at the gate of Zhou's house.

Xu Yong knew something was abnormal, so he observed it for a few minutes and then moved to the back door.

The back door of the mansion is a cold alley and street. No one is walking around in broad daylight, but today I saw a fruit stall that is rare not far from the back door.

Although there are hawkers in such back streets and alleys, which are business of servants in the house, they are mostly hawkers who are hawking while walking. No one sets up stalls in a fixed place.

When he saw this vendor, Xu Yong knew that someone had targeted Zhou Zhai.

Since he was just following, it means he would not take action for the time being. Xu Yong slowly retreated a few steps and turned around and left.

Neither Mr. Wang nor the master took care of him to protect Zhou's house, but now there is something strange around Zhou's house, so you should report it to the master immediately.

But the master is as unrepentant as Mr. Zhou, and the only person who can ask for advice is Mr. Le.

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

Just as he turned around and left, in a dilapidated room he had not noticed, someone nodded in the direction of his departure. Two men who looked like idle men immediately followed one after another.

Although Xu Yong was young, he was quite brave and was influenced by his master and Mr. Le. Even if the matter was urgent, he knew that the more anxious he was, the more he could not break the rules. So he followed his usual practice and left Wang Gongchang, but did not go north, but headed eastward along the exterior wall of the Xiangfang to Xuanwu Gate.

After walking around the corridor shop in Xuanwumen Wucheng, he found a casual man who was following him. He immediately gave up the years and went back immediately. He left Xuanwumen and arrived in Nancheng. He walked all the way south and entered Yongguang Temple.

Yongguang Temple is a temple fair today. Xu Yong shook off the track here and went straight to Liulichang. After confirming that he had lost his tail, he re-entered the inner city from Zhengyang Gate, spent a large circle, came to Wanping County Yamen, and flashed into a shabby alley on the side of the Yamen.

This shabby alley is very long, with the ground full of mud and turbid water. The alley is even more winding. Xu Yong walked around the crooked elm tree and hid in the well house next to him. After waiting quietly for a few minutes, he saw that no one was following him, so he left the well house. Next to the well house was an inconspicuous alley, which allowed only one person to pass through, so he walked in.
