Wei Zhuang and Feng Shuwan were waiting for Xiaoyu to come back at a roadside stall.
At this time, a quarter of an hour had passed since Xiaoyu left.
"This girl is too ignorant to come back after so long." Feng Shuwan scolded.
Wei Zhuang thought it was nothing, and even advised: "It's rare to come out, let her play for a while."
Upon hearing this, Feng Shuwan suddenly stared at Wei Zhuang and looked at him from top to bottom.
Wei Zhuang was a little frightened by her look. He remembered what happened on Xiaoyu's bed in the morning, and his expression became stiff for a moment.
"You seem to... dote on Xiaoyu very much." Feng Shuwan stared at him and said.
"Um..." Wei Zhuang's expression changed, "You and Xiaoyu are sisters, so naturally I want to be nice to her."
"Yeah?"
"Of course!"
Looking at Wei Zhuang's firm eyes and serious expression, Feng Shuwan nodded.
Then she faced Wei Zhuang and said with a pleading tone: "Wei Zhuang, this girl Xiaoyu has been following me since she was a child. She has been spoiled by me over the years and has lost some of her rules, but she is still a very simple and kind-hearted little girl."
Wei Zhuang nodded, he also had a deep understanding of the above.
"So..." Feng Shuwan said seriously: "If she offends you in any way in the future, can you please bear with me for my sake? Tell me and I will deal with her for you!"
Wei Zhuang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and he said gently to Feng Shuwan: "You two are special in the palace. You don't need to care about etiquette and rules. I am not someone who cares about these, so you can be happy."
"Wei Zhuang, thank you." Feng Shuwan said movedly.
Wei Zhuang waved his hand generously, closed his eyes with a smile, and waited for two seconds and nothing happened.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw Feng Shuwan looking at him doubtfully.
its not right.
Wei Zhuang was a little depressed. According to normal logic, shouldn't Feng Shuwan give him a light kiss at this time?
"You..." Wei Zhuang wanted to ask her, but he closed his mouth in embarrassment.
When Wei Zhuang asked her this on the street, he was afraid that she would be too embarrassed to see anyone.
…
The two waited for another ten minutes, but there was still no sign of Xiaoyu. Wei Zhuang couldn't hold back his anger.
It wasn't that he wasn't willing to wait, but that something was wrong.
In total, the two of them had been waiting for nearly half an hour. Although Xiaoyu is playful, she will never let Feng Shuwan wait for her for such a long time.
Wei Zhuang frowned, feeling a bad feeling in his heart.
"Let's look for it along the road."
Feng Shuwan also nodded worriedly.
Changping Street is a main road in the imperial capital. There are many small alleys extending on both sides of it. Xiaoyu probably went to one of the alleys in front.
The two of them asked the vendors on the roadside while walking, but still found nothing.
Until the two of them were asking a vendor, a passing woodcutter accosted them.
"I seem to have seen the little girl you mentioned."
"Oh?" Wei Zhuang took out a silver coin from his body and handed it to the woodcutter, "Strong man, tell me in detail."
The woodcutter looked at Yinzi in surprise but waved his hand and did not accept it. He just replied: "I saw the little girl being dragged into a carriage at the entrance of an alley."
"Which alley, what kind of carriage?"
"Just five lanes ahead. The car is a maroon horse-drawn car with a black body. It looks quite noble. The car took the little girl along Changping Street to the north of the city."
"Thank you for informing me, strong man." Upon hearing this, Wei Zhuang stuffed the silver into the woodcutter's arms and took Feng Shuwan to the south.
"Wei Zhuang..." Feng Shuwan's voice was trembling.
Looking back, I saw Feng Shuwan's face full of worry and her face turned a little pale, "Did Xiaoyu meet a bad guy?"
When Wei Zhuang heard a calm look on his face, he comforted him first: "Don't worry too much. After all, we are not sure whether the woodcutter was wrong. There are so many people in Changping Street, and we want to kidnap someone in public." It’s not easy either, let’s look for it again.”
"Um."
With Wei Zhuang's words, Feng Shuwan felt a little more relieved. But following Wei Zhuang's footsteps, it became faster and faster.
When the two of them arrived at the entrance of the alley that the woodcutter said, Wei Zhuang's heart sank.
Because there is not a single vendor in this place, if there are really bad guys who are well prepared to commit murder here, it will be difficult for ordinary passers-by to detect it.
"Weizhuang, there are no vendors here..." Feng Shuwan was obviously aware of this problem, and she asked at a loss: "What should I do now?"
Wei Zhuang took a breath and looked around again. After making sure there were no suspicious signs, he said.
"Go north along Changping Street to the nearest government office. It would be great if you can find it along the road. If you can't find it..." Wei Zhuang's face darkened: "I will order troops to search for him. As long as he is in the imperial capital, he will definitely be found."
At this time, the distance between the two of them was not far from the nearest Yamen. If they walked faster, it would probably take more than half an hour.
Look at the sky, it's almost dusk now, and the lanterns on the streets are all lit up.
"Candied haws on a stick, selling candied haws on a stick"
"Roast chicken, here is hot roast chicken!"
"Do you want sugar paintings? They are beautiful and delicious..."
"Dear readers, if you have money, you can support me with money. If you don't have money, you can support me by yourself. Come and see how well we can play with this knife!"
The small vendors solicited customers with great enthusiasm, and some entertainers also used their special skills to attract the attention of passers-by.
The entire street is lined with colorful lanterns, and the afterglow at dusk reflects the bright lights. This scene is quite romantic.
There were more people on the street again. No matter who they were, everyone had smiles on their faces. The joyful atmosphere in Changping Street reached its peak.
In this joyful atmosphere, Wei Zhuang and Feng Shuwan's expressions became darker and darker.
They have no intention of enjoying the temple fair now, they just want to find Xiaoyu quickly.
However, as time passed by, seeing more and more pedestrians but still no sign of Xiaoyu, the bad premonition became stronger and stronger in the hearts of the two of them.
At this moment, there was a commotion from the crowd in front.
"Look, someone jumped off the building!"
Everyone looked up and saw a man falling vertically from a two-story building not far from the roadside.
Then, like a stone thrown into the water, the crowd suddenly spread out like ripples, and screams could be heard for a while.
The festive atmosphere of Changping Street solidified at this moment...
After separating from the crowd, Wei Zhuang pulled Feng Shuwan forward.
They still have to go to the Yamen in front.
Finally, the two people reached the front of the crowd, but for the next second, they could no longer move.
There was a cart of firewood parked under the small building.
On top of the firewood, a person with disheveled hair and a pale pink dress was lying flat on her back, with blood flowing from the back of her head to the ground.
Feng Shuwan's face was pale and her eyes were frightened.
"Xiao...Xiaoyu!"
