Chapter 67 Is there something else?
All the merits were in his pocket. Feng Xue woke up and the merits of humanity increased sharply, but this did not make him feel any surprise.
A surge in one day is a surprise, and a surge in two days is a surprise. It has been rising for several months, so it is not a surprise.
In contrast, the character panel has risen to 2 points, and the merit golden body that can cover one palm is quite comforting.
Unfortunately, the skill of becoming a saint is still 0. Maybe it is because it has not increased the merits of the heavenly way?
With the help of the maid, put on her clothes and washed up, Feng Xue came to the study as usual. It was winter now, and there would be heavy snow in two days. However, thanks to the warm jade sent by Wu Zhu, the house was not very cold.
Compared to the days when he was just copying books every day, Feng Xue now has one more job, which is to handle the letters collected from the mailbox the day before.
Although it is not as exaggerated as when it was just established, there are still dozens of copies per day.
Feng Xue held a charcoal pen in his hand, checking the contents like a primary school teacher correcting homework. According to the daily process, he should browse it first to see if the dice will move. If there is no response, carefully to see if there is any noticeable abnormality. If there is, then enter the investigation state, or check it yourself, or contact Wu Zhu. If not, he will submit it to a library for the last confirmation.
As a result, no major problems have occurred in the past few months. There are only minor things like rats spreading the epidemic occasionally. There is no need for Wu Zhu. It is handled by the Shennong Baicao Jing, which is now widely circulated in the world.
Today, Feng Xue was still reviewing the news and filtering out some rare and strange incidents, and suddenly she was attracted by a message.
The first thing that attracted attention was not the content, but the rise of the letter.
The person who wrote the letter was not a student in the academy or a farmhouse in the village, but a merchant with a household registration in Sheyang County.
Sheyang County is Xu Qing's chassis, and Wu Zhu is in charge of abnormal conditions. Under normal circumstances, those who should not have crossed these two people to send to their side. Since they have appeared, those two people don't care or don't care.
However, Feng Xue did not immediately put it aside, read the remaining letters through, and confirmed that there was nothing else to pay attention to before turning back and began to read the letter carefully.
The content is not long, there is no writing style, and the handwriting is even more ugly and vulgar, so he should not be a cultural person.
The content is even simpler. The sentences of selling misery and complaining are eliminated, and the summary is only four words -
My daughter is lost.
Moreover, it was lost during the Xiayuan Festival worship of ancestors a few days ago.
The Yuan Festival is after the autumn harvest. It is a relatively important festival for the ancestral worship in the sky. Moreover, because the craftsmen will worship the Supreme Saint on this day, it can be said that they have the saint's eyes. If something happens on this day, they will feel that there is something wrong with it.
It is strictly forbidden to trade privately in Daxia. Any transaction involving population must be reported in the official form and the City God should be used as evidence. Violators damage their good deeds, reduce their blessings, and abduct civilians for profit. Even if they are only one person, their fortune will fall to the level of bloody disasters every day, which can basically eliminate the situation of abducting and trafficking of people.
Of course, the barbarians are not considered humans. If you have the ability to break into the barbarians and tie up a group of barbarian slaves to sell them, there will be no trouble.
However, the daughter of a merchant is obviously not a barbarian, so the possibility of trafficking can be basically ruled out.
As for self-use... Feng Xue felt that no one who lacked a wife would dare to run to the county town to tie people on the day of Xiayuan ancestor worship. And the rich man... was joking, and wanted the maid to shout and some people came to him, so he needed to take such a risk?
It is more reliable to say that it was robbed by the bandits and became the wife of the village.
However, if this is the case, the businessman has no reason to report to him, so it is just right to go directly to Luo Yang.
"It seems that there is something wrong." Feng Xue muttered a few words in her heart, but did not immediately ask the businessman to come over and ask for a question, but instead asked someone to call Xu Fu.
"Young Master, what are your instructions?" Xu Fu, as the chief manager of the Young Master's Mansion, has helped Feng Xue to report many questions recently, and asked in a familiar way.
"Take people to find the magistrate of Luo County to investigate whether there are any missing people in Sheyang County recently, and then investigate the businessman who sent the letter... Well, the name is Mei Ting, see what he does, the family situation, and whether he offended anyone..." Feng Xue handed the letter to Xu Fu. Xu Fu glanced at him, nodded, and then left the study room, while Feng Xue continued to start his great career in copying books.
There is no need to do the preliminary investigation by yourself. Most of the time, professionals will do better than him, unless this matter really involves some supernatural powers.
...
"Young Master, there is news." In the evening of that day, Xu Fu, who was exhausted, appeared in front of Feng Xue again. Before Feng Xue could ask questions, he spoke:
"Since the Xiayuan Festival in Sheyang County, four people have disappeared, including Mei Ting's daughter. They are all women aged 14 to 18, with merchants and craftsmen, but the family is relatively wealthy."
"Four? Where is the missing place?" Feng Xue narrowed her eyes, as if she thought this matter was indeed strange, and asked.
"It seems that they all went to the grave and disappeared during the ancestor worship, but it was uncertain whether it was on the road or where." Xu Fu also asked about this and immediately replied.
Feng Xue's expression became a little more serious when he heard him say this. Visiting the grave and worshiping ancestors made it difficult for him not to doubt whether there was a fierce ghost spirit. But if there was a fierce ghost spirit in Sheyang County, the City God should have noticed it long ago!
This is the prehistoric world, not the era of yin and yang disorder in Liaozhai. The evil ghosts and other evil spirits just pull up and lock them away. If it really doesn’t work, there is still a mountain god who is the witch clan!
"Either it's the hidden ability, or it's the demons and evil ways that appear near the grave?" Feng Xue made a judgment in her heart, and then asked:
"Where is that Mei Ting? What is his identity?"
"I am the owner of an incense and candle shop in Sheyang County." Xu Fu's face was a little strange, and Feng Xue's expression also condensed.
This incense and candle shop cannot be said to be unlucky in this era, but after all, it is a bit cold inside when dealing with the following things.
Now, the daughter of the owner of the incense and candle shop disappeared when he visited the grave. Why do you feel so sensational?
"What about the others?" Feng Xue asked afterwards, and the implication was nothing more than asking whether the other three missing people were covered with paper money or incense and candles at home.
However, Xu Fu's answer surprised him a little-
"It's all ordinary families, the daughter of a blacksmith, the daughter of a carpenter, and the daughter of a grain merchant..."
