Chapter 4 Chapter 3 The Missing Person

From a distance, Shen Bai saw Lu Yuanqing.It was strange that after so many people, he could be seen at a glance.Obviously the green robe on him is a bit old, and his face is obviously not conspicuous... Maybe it's because of the smile on his face, although he is always kind to others, but such an eye-catching smile rarely appears on his face superior. "My lord..." Song Yutang, who was following Shen Bai, saw Shen Bai stop, and looked over in confusion, "Lu Shudu? Why can't I find him in the yamen? So I'm busy begging for girls here. Huanxin! I'll call him in the past!" Because Feng Huan turned his back to the direction of Shen Bai and Song Yutang, Song Yutang only saw that "she" was wearing a particularly bright green body, and "her" was still wearing a mask on her slightly profiled face. Coupled with Lu Yuanqing's rare non-stop smile... In short, Song Yutang mistook Feng Huan for a woman.

Song Yutang was about to go forward, but was stopped by Shen Bai, "No, I'll go." When Shen Bai walked behind Lu Yuanqing, he was paying out money to help Feng Huan buy the mask, and Feng Huan naturally put his hand on Lu Yuanqing's shoulder. Lu Yuanqing did not reject Feng Huan.When Feng Huan gave him a golden needle, he was already used to Feng Huan's approach.At first, Lu Yuanqing only thought that he was a genius doctor with an eccentric temper, but now he might be able to add the word "friend" after the genius doctor. Suddenly someone behind him said: "Yuan Qing..."

Lu Yuanqing was stunned when he heard the voice, and turned around slowly, meeting Shen Bai's eyes.However, Shen Bai's eyes involuntarily slid down to the shoulder on which Feng Huan's hand was resting. Feng Huan also followed Lu Yuanqing's turn and turned his head to look suspiciously, only to see a young man in black staring at Lu Yuanqing, that feeling suddenly made him a little uncomfortable. "My lord?" Lu Yuanqing didn't expect to meet Shen Bai here and now. Shen Bai sensitively sensed Feng Huan's faint hostility, he glanced at him calmly, and then said politely: "Yuan Qing, who is this?"

"My lord, this is Feng Huan, the distant cousin I mentioned to my lord." Lu Yuanqing lied calmly, and lightly bumped Feng Huan with his elbow, reminding him not to talk nonsense. Feng Huan naturally sensed Lu Yuanqing's hint, so he just hummed, but didn't say anything. Seeing Feng Huan's awkward look, Lu Yuanqing said again: "Cousin, this is Mr. Shen." "Master Shen..." Feng Huan suddenly thought of something, "Xiaoyun, are you going to be his master now?" He pointed at Shen Bai's nose, not polite at all. "Xiao Yun?" Shen Bai's voice was a little playful, and his gaze swept over Lu Yuanqing's blank face, his expression was full of doubts.

"My nickname is Xiaoyun." Lu Yuanqing regretted that he didn't match Feng Huan's words well, so he could only pretend to be dumb at the moment. "Really?" Shen Bai looked at Feng Huan, then at Lu Yuanqing. Seeing this, Lu Yuanqing had no choice but to change the subject: "It's so late, where are you going?" Shen Bai paused, "The home of Old Man Liu on Sanli Street. According to him, his son has been missing for seven days." Lu Yuanqing looked at Song Yutang who was not far behind Shen Bai, "Where is Captain Shao?" "Shao Ying has already taken a step ahead." Shen Bai looked at Feng Huan's hand still on Lu Yuanqing's shoulder again, and suddenly said, "Yuan Qing, let's go together."

"He won't go!" Feng Huan flatly refused for Lu Yuanqing. Lu Yuanqing took a look at Feng Huan, and then said to Shen Bai: "Master, my cousin is not feeling well, I want to take him to see a doctor... Your lord might as well go first, I'll talk about it in the yamen tomorrow." Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanqing would refuse!Shen Bai was stunned for a moment, before he could react, Lu Yuanqing had already smiled apologetically at Shen Bai, and let the man in green hold his hand with a triumphant smile and pull him further and further away . "My lord, why didn't Lu Shudai follow?" Song Yutang looked at Shen Bai who was expressionless all the way, and asked suspiciously.

Why didn't you follow?Why?He wants to know too!When the man in green pointed at his nose, he still looked angry. Why did he need to see a doctor?It's lucky that Lu Yuanqing could find out such a lame reason to prevaricate him! Shen Bai really wanted to maintain his usual good demeanor, but he couldn't bring up the interest to talk to Song Yutang, and just said lightly: "Yuan Qing seems to have something to do." When Shen Bai and Song Yutang arrived at Old Man Liu's house on Sanli Street, Shao Ying had checked the place inside and out, "My lord, there is nothing strange except here."

Following the direction of Shao Ying's finger, Shen Bai saw a flower planted near the base of the wall of the west room at a glance. This flower... so strange!This was Shen Bai's first reaction when he saw the flower.Because this bonus is very red, each of its petals is thick and thick as if stained with blood, and it seems to have an oppressive smell rushing towards the face, as if it should bloom in hell... Shen Bai was shocked, how could he suddenly have such an idea? "Father Liu, when did your son disappear?" "It's been seven days..." Old man Liu's eyes were obviously swollen from crying, "My son is called Liu Yue, and he is a very honest and responsible child. That day, oh, yes, my son will marry Zhao Yuan's family soon. My son is working at Zhao Yuanwai’s family. I originally disagreed with this marriage, but... oh, it’s all my fault! I’m obsessed, even Gao Pan can’t get close to the young lady of Zhao’s family, she is born Kefu's fate, I have pity that my son has not married her yet, so he disappeared without any reason, who can I count on in the future?"

"The Zhao family's daughter?" Seeing that Shen Bai was puzzled, Shao Ying added, "It's Zhao Xiuyun, the daughter of Zhao Yougui, the owner of Zhao's rice shop on West Street." "Then did your son go to see this Miss Zhao that day?" Shen Bai asked old man Liu. "I don't know about this, it's just that he never came back after he went out that day." Hearing this, Shen Bai thought for a while and asked again: "Father Liu, did you plant that red flower?" Old man Liu seemed to have just noticed a flower appeared out of nowhere in his home, and his old eyes widened in surprise, "This... this, I have never had such a thing in my house. Who planted this? It wasn't there yesterday."

Shen Bai walked up to the strange red flower and observed it carefully, but saw that the soil around the flower was extremely soft, as if it had just been filled with soil. Shen Bai stared at the flower thoughtfully for a long while before saying: "Zhang Biao, dig out the flower together with the soil and roots and bring it back to the yamen." "Yes, my lord." After leaving Old Man Liu's house, Shen Bai remained silent.Shao Ying glanced at the accompanying people in the yamen again, and then asked Song Yutang: "Where is Lu Shudai?"
