When his head was halfway back, his mouth was suddenly covered by someone, and then he was held under his armpit.
The world was spinning, Hang Ziqing struggled desperately and wanted to shout. But as soon as he opened his mouth, someone stuffed a piece of rag or something into it.
She scratched, she scratched, and she kicked the opponent with all her strength.
Then, I just felt a pain in the back of my head and fainted...
And Hang's mother was still packing the wine jars in the wine cellar in the courtyard.
When Hang Zixuan and his father sold their drinks, bought bunches of candied haws for their sister and headed home, they met his mother with disheveled hair and sweaty face on the way.
Also know: my sister is missing.
"Dad, you and your mother will search everywhere in and around the village. There are footprints in the snow. Keep an eye out to see if there are any strangers' footprints. Then ask around the village to see if you have seen any strangers. I Go to the county government office to report the crime."
When Hang Zixuan heard that his sister was missing, he felt a piercing sound in his ears, but he quickly calmed down and decided to separate from his parents.
At the gate of the county government office, the gatekeeper was shivering with cold. He kept pacing back and forth and rubbing his palms.
I heard that Hang Zixuan reported the case of a missing girl, but he didn't even bother to give her an extra look.
One of them waved his hand impatiently and said: "Go back and look for it again. It's been less than two hours since he disappeared. Why are you reporting missing? You think our county boss is just doing nothing all day long." No? Let’s take a walk. If you guys look around, you might go somewhere to get naughty, and you’ll be back soon.”
Hang Zixuan was furious.
He wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and wanted to be angry, but he remembered that he was here to ask for help.
Then he knelt down with a "pop" and begged: "I know my sister very well. She never runs around, let alone goes to other people's houses to play alone, let alone runs fifty meters away from the house. Officials and mistresses, I beg you, please let me report the case, can you please help me find him? It’s been too long, and it’s really impossible to find him."
The other Yamen official suddenly looked troubled.
He looked at the still gloomy sky, then at the muddy snow on the ground, and finally stamped his feet and shook his head in refusal.
"Boy, you look like you have read a book, so you are a sensible person, aren't you? How can you report a missing person two hours ago? Okay, go home, you can count on us brothers to give you up If you put it in, the county boss won’t take your case. Go ahead, it’s too late and it’s already dark.”
Hang Zixuan refused. They kept clamoring to see the county magistrate.
The officials finally lost their patience.
Although they will be polite to scholars, they can still "gently" drive away unreasonable scholars.
The two spears crossed and separated Hang Zixuan.
Seeing that the report failed, Hang Zixuan went to his college friends and asked them to mobilize their efforts to help find his sister.
But no result, no result, still no result...
It was not until twelve hours later that Hang Zixuan went to the county government office again.
This time, I met the county magistrate Bei Wenshi smoothly. But when Magistrate Bei heard that it was a disappearance case, he shook his big fat head and said "tsk tsk" repeatedly.
"Hang Zixuan, since you have passed the Tongsheng Examination, you must be able to speak clearly. How about this, please describe your sister's figure and appearance to the scribe, as well as the style and color of the clothes she was wearing before she went missing, etc. . Ask the scribe to draw a few portraits of your sister for you. You can post them everywhere and ask people to inquire."
Hang Yixuan was anxious when he heard this.
After cupping his fists and saluting again, he said: "Master of the county, Xiaosheng has already searched every corner of the county. One person's power is limited, so I would like to ask the master of the county to arrange some manpower to help check the dental shop and those places." If the county government comes forward, it will be easier to find. Please."
After hearing this, Bei Wenshi turned sideways, resting one elbow on the desk, tilted his head, glanced at Hang Zixuan sideways, and said: "Hang Zixuan, what do you think a yamen is? What do you think a yamen is? It's your home Are they raising private soldiers? Guarding the hospital? Just do whatever you want?
Do you know how many disappearances there are throughout the year? You don't take good care of your children at home, and when they disappear, you want us to search and look for them everywhere. We don't have to do anything else, right?
Do the dental shops still do business? Hurry up and look for the portrait of the scribe. Really, you are a child and you are still so ignorant. "
With that said, Bei Wenshi stood up, stretched and yawned. Then he went into the back hall of the court with his fat belly shaking.
Hang Zixuan: "...Mr. Bei, please don't leave. My sister, my sister hasn't been found yet."
He shouted and begged, but couldn't get an extra glance.
In the end, he was kicked out of the county government with only a few portraits of his sister.
When I came out, I saw the anxious faces of my parents.
He had a haggard face that seemed to have lost weight overnight.
Hang Zixuan couldn't face it anymore.
He comforted his parents and asked them to go somewhere to eat and rest first. He said that his sister didn't want to see them like this, so he asked them to rest before looking for her.
He took the portrait and ran to the state government office overnight.
He was going to report the case to the state government office.
He remembered: People all said that Mr. Lu, the governor of the government, was a good official.
Mr. Lu was quite easy to meet, and he was polite and friendly when he met him. He also agreed to file a case and asked someone to help draw a few more portraits of his sister.
But the results...are the same.
It’s still the same sentence: There are too many missing people and they can’t be found.
Hang Zixuan had to look for it himself, and then in Zhoucheng. He knocked on the dental shop's door next to him, and was beaten out again...
Knowing that there was no way he could continue like this, he ran home again.
But what was waiting for him... was that his father never came back.
The mother cried into tears, but she was still holding on at home waiting for him to come back.
Then, mother and son went out together to find their sister and Hang's father.
More than half a year passed before I knew it.
…
Hang Zixuan came to the government office and surrendered. Came with blood clothes and blood dagger.
Xu Si brought the people in.
They brought in Hang Zixuan who was covered in blood.
"Master Di, the grassroots name is Hang Zixuan, and he is from Xiaxi Village, Funing County."
After Hang Zixuan learned that the person in front of him was Lord Di, he immediately knelt down and confessed: "At the end of the day today, the grassroots had a dispute with their mother Ning.
Ever since my sister disappeared, her father went out looking for her and never returned, and there was no news. My mother's mental state has been very poor.
When Cao Min argued with her, she beat him up. Cao Min was chopping pigweed at the time, and he accidentally...
He chopped his mother to death. Please Lord Di punish the common people for their capital crimes. "
