Chapter 650

Xia Xi nodded, "please Constable Meng."

Meng Lin flustered waved his hand, "it's all a matter of duty. Lady Xia is serious."

It's not necessary for him to come to such a small case. Everyone knows that as long as the child is lost, it's almost impossible to get it back.

It's just a walk to send the Yamen to come here, ask about it, and register it. That's all.

But the last time he came to collect taxes, he saw that Xia Xi's family had a very good relationship with the village head's family, so he wanted to sell the favor, so he came in person.

Meng Lin inquired about the process of losing the child in detail, and he could conclude in his heart that the child could not be found.

There's no way to find it. The two children just disappeared out of thin air.

But I seriously asked the villagers if they had ever seen the two children, when and where they saw them, and what they were doing at that time.

After asking, he asked the village head, "village head Wei, I don't know if I've looked for them all in the nearby mountains?"

"All of them, even in the nearby villages."

"Have you heard that there have been traffickers nearby?"

The village head shook his head.

"That's strange. They are two children. Unless they are premeditated, if they catch one, the other will make a sound. How can there be no movement?"

Xia Xi frowned.

"Well, it's getting late today. Let's go back to the Yamen and report to see if there are similar cases in other places. No matter if there are, we will find out as soon as possible. If there is any progress on village head Wei's side, we will inform us as soon as possible."

The village head nodded dully.

Meng Lin bows to Xia Xi, "Lady Xia, you..."

"You go first. I have something else to do."

Meng Lin nodded and left with the Yamen servant.

"Everybody's gone, too."

Xia Xi raised her voice, and the people gathered in the yard scattered one after another.

"Brother Wei, let people go further tomorrow to find out if anyone has seen their trace."

"Good."

"Sister Wei, the workshop will be closed tomorrow. You stay at home and take care of them."

"I know."

"Uncle..."

Xia Xi squatted in front of the village head, "you have to hold on. You can't fall down at this time. Believe me, the two children will be OK."

"Summer..."

The village head's lips trembled into a ball, a word out, then choked to say no more, their family, did not do anything bad, how such a thing spread on his daughter.

Xia Xi comforted him again. She came out of Wei's house and went to Yin Xiucai's house. As soon as she entered the gate, she heard a violent cough coming from the house, and Mrs. Gu's anxious voice said, "I've taken several pairs of medicine, but how can the young master's cold not be good?"

Aunt Yin's voice also spread out, "it's said that lady Xia has also come. Otherwise, let Li'er go and have a look. If there's nothing wrong, let her come to diagnose your pulse."

"No..."

Another cough, Yin Xiucai's hoarse voice sounded, "from today on, don't let Li'er go out alone."

"I'll be careful."

Glass children's voice childish reply, finish saying, seems to be afraid of a few people in the house do not believe, "I go out, will see if there is anyone with, if there is, I will shout."

Aunt Yin seemed to be amused, "you villain, you don't know. Those who abduct and sell children are very tall. I'm afraid that you don't have time to shout, they'll stop you."

Xia Xi increased her step. When Gu Niang heard the news, she came out and saw it was her. She said, "just now, the old lady said to call you. Fortunately, you came by yourself."

"Let me see Yin Xiucai."

Li'er had already raised the curtain of the door. "Lady Xia, please come in."

Xia Xi touched her head and walked in. Yin Xiucai struggled to get up in a hurry. Xia Xi stopped him, "lie down, I can feel my pulse."

Yin Xiucai lay back again. Gu Niangzi went over and covered the quilt that had just slipped down because of his actions.

Xia Xi sat down, gave him the pulse, to the prescription to see, "this medicine is right, there are two kinds of medicine dosage is less, tomorrow to catch, tell the doctor to let him increase the dose."

Having said that, she showed the two medicines to Gu Niang, who nodded to show that she had written them down.

"Have you heard from the two children?"

Yin Xiucai is OK. Aunt Yin is in the mood to ask about something else.

Xia Xi shakes her head, "No."

Aunt Yin sighed, "it's really evil. How can their mother bear the loss of two children?"

Xia Xi didn't answer. She looked at Yin Xiucai and asked, "these days, have you ever seen a man often go to the school?"

Yin Xiucai thought about it and nodded, "there is one. I saw him twice. He just looked around at the door and didn't enter the school."

"He is the father of the two children."

Xia Xi roughly said Wei Lian's situation, "I want to ask, you see him twice, is there anything unusual about him?"

"This..."

Yin Xiucai frowned, thought carefully for a while, and shook his head, "no, he always drives an ox cart. Once he pulls something on the ox cart, once he doesn't, but he doesn't see anything unusual."

Xia Xi nodded slightly.

"Why, do you suspect that their father took the child away?"

Asked aunt Yin.

"Wei Lian elder sister and the human have no injustice and no grudge, how can so coincidentally two children all lost."

"Then go to his house."

"Yes, I have. No one has been found."

"That's why he hid the child."

"If that's true, it's OK. After all, tiger poison doesn't eat children. He won't do anything to the children."

"That's what he said, but now he doesn't admit it. Sister Wei Lian has cried out several times, and the Wei family is in a mess."

Aunt Yin has no words to say. These are just conjectures. One day we can't find the children, and the people in the village head's family can't relax.

"Is there anything we need to do?"

Yin Xiucai tried to resist coughing and asked in an empty voice.

Xia Xi shakes her head, "you are good to keep, the children are still waiting for you to go to class."

……

When she came out of Yin Xiucai's house, it was getting dark. Xia Xi got on the carriage, and the coachman drove all the way back to the county. As soon as she entered, the city gate closed slowly.

Back home, Qi'er several early back, is playing in the yard, cheerful voice from the yard.

Xia Xi's steps to the yard stopped and called a servant, "go to Zhang Jia, find the second uncle, and say I have something to find him."

The servants should be running to call people.

Mr. Zhang came quickly, "elder sister, what can I do for you?"

Xia Xi simply said things to him, "I always feel that Zhang Gen has hidden his child. You can call Meng Lin at night and go to his home to explore again."
