Zhou family mansion.
While eating breakfast, Zhou Yuanzhi was listening to the steward's report on the important things that happened in Jin Ling city yesterday.
This was Zhou Yuanzhi's habit. As a top-notch businessman, he had to constantly pay attention to the movements in Jinling's market. Only by finding valuable information could he make a fortune.
"They're all looking for a big-breasted girl?"
Zhou Yuanzhi was stunned. "Where did he come from?"
"I don't know!"
The manager shook his head.
With so many people working, it was inevitable that some information would be leaked. However, these people did not know much. They only knew that they were looking for a girl.
If it was in the past, he would have to memorize a lot of information, such as age, appearance, and background. However, there was no need for this, because her breasts were too big. Just one characteristic was enough to find her.
"Haha, from the looks of it, could it be that one of the princesses has gone missing?"
Zhou Yuanzhi guessed, a little gloating. You high officials, nobles, and relatives of the emperor usually act like tyrants. Now you've suffered a setback, haven't you?
However, he guessed that she probably didn't lose it. She must have had too much fun with a wild man and didn't return for the whole night.
"No matter who did it, they have poked the hornet's nest this time."
Seeing that the old master was in a good mood, the steward also laughed.
"Who cares if they die. Let's focus on making money." Zhou Yuanzhi finished his meal and didn't see his son. He was a little unhappy. "Where's the young master? Did you spend the night at the Concentrated Fragrance Pavilion again? "
"No, Young Master just went out."
The butler reported.
"Young man, sleeping in every day, what kind of behavior is that?"
Although he said that, Zhou Yuanzhi's complexion was much better. Sleeping in was better than fooling around in a brothel for a night.
…
Sun Mo knew that it was a waste of time for him to search aimlessly. Therefore, he didn't sleep for the entire night and kept drawing Lu Zhiruo's portrait.
Dong dong! Dong dong!
There was a knock on the door.
When Ludi saw that Sun Mo didn't react, he walked over and opened the door. When he saw Wang Su standing outside, he was instantly shocked.
"Vice-principal Wang!"
Ludi was so nervous that he stuttered. He subconsciously turned around and glanced at the bed. Sigh, if I had known this would happen, I would have folded the blanket and put away the dirty clothes.
With this, not to mention showing his face in front of the Imperial Teacher, it would already be a blessing if he did not attract the disdain of others.
"Is Teacher Sun around?"
Wang Su asked.
"Here!"
Ludi didn't dare to block Wang Su from entering the door, so he quickly stepped aside. "I'll pour you some water!"
When Ludi went to get busy, he glanced at Sun Mo, feeling envy in his heart. (Did you hear that? Wang Su addressed Sun Mo as Teacher Sun.)
As for him, as an intern teacher, he didn't have the right to use this title.
"Teacher Sun, I heard from Headmaster An that your personal disciple has gone missing?"
Wang Su didn't like pleasantries, so he went straight to the point. "Have you found it?"
"Not yet!"
Sun Mo didn't have the mood to entertain Wang Su. In fact, he didn't even greet him and kept on drawing portraits.
"Is this the portrait of that student? Give me ten, I'll get someone to look for it. "
Wang Su walked over. When he saw Sun Mo's drawing, his eyes immediately brightened.
What a neat drawing. The temperament of the girl was vividly displayed on the paper.
Wang Su assessed Sun Mo in astonishment. He didn't expect Sun Mo to have such talent!
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Wang Su + 15. Friendly (65/100).
"In that case, many thanks to Teacher Wang. I, Sun Mo, will definitely repay this kindness!"
Sun Mo was moved to tears. What kind of person was Wang Su? A 4-star great teacher who came here early in the morning just to help. This favor was too great.
"What are you talking about? I'm the vice-headmaster of the Central Province Academy, and that girl can be considered my student. Looking for her is something I should do. "
Wang Su's tone was strict. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"It's my fault."
Honestly speaking, Sun Mo had underestimated Wang Su's breadth of mind. Although Wang Su was fighting with An Xinhui for the position of headmaster, he had deep feelings for this school. He wasn't like Zhang Hanfu, who was doing this purely for his own benefit.
Wang Su took the portrait and left.
"Teacher Sun, who's missing?"
Ludi asked, wanting to help as well. After that, he started to feel envious of Sun Mo. Look at how outstanding Sun Mo was, even Wang Su took the initiative to look for him.
He had heard that Wang Su had invited Sun Mo to join his great teacher circle but was rejected by Sun Mo.
"Lu Zhiruo!"
Sun Mo casually said.
"It's this girl, right? I'll help you look for her! "
Ludi took a portrait and prepared to apply for leave today to help Sun Mo look for the girl. Of course, this time around, he didn't have the thought of doing Sun Mo a favor. He was purely worried about the student's safety.
"Thank you!"
Sun Mo didn't stand on ceremony either.
At noon, Sun Mo made another trip to the female dormitory. Lu Zhiruo still hadn't returned, and there was no news from other places either.
"Teacher, why don't you eat something and rest for a while?"
She was worried that Sun Mo would fall sick from being anxious.
Sun Mo waved his hand and analyzed. It shouldn't be possible for Zhou Yong to do this, right? He couldn't possibly be so deranged to such an extent, right?
Kidnapping Lu Zhiruo wouldn't bring him any benefits. This was a crime, and if he was caught, he would be banished to the border as a military slave. Rather than taking such a risk, he might as well spend money to find someone to break his legs.
However, at such a time, he had to consider all possibilities. Should he go and set up an ambush?
No, he couldn't do such a thing because he wasn't good at it. If he alerted the enemy, things would be troublesome. It was better to look for Old Wolf Ren. They were professionals.
Sun Mo returned to the dormitory and took out a potted plant.
If he wanted a horse to run, he had to let it eat until it was full. Sun Mo didn't have much cash, but this potted plant was very valuable and was equally useful.
However, when Sun Mo went out, he bumped into the triangular-eyed man before he went down the stairs.
"Teacher Sun, we might have found your beloved disciple."
The triangular-eyed man's tone was clearly a lot more respectful compared to last night.
"Where is she?"
Sun Mo grabbed the triangular-eyed man's hand.
"Jinling's eastern outskirts, Three Purities Temple!"
The triangular-eyed man felt pain from Sun Mo's grip, but he didn't dare to cry out.
"Bring me there!"
Sun Mo urged.
Li Ziqi hurriedly followed after him.
...
After exiting Jinling's eastern gate, there was a Daoist temple about 30 li to the east.
It was said that 500 years ago, a white-haired daoist rode a crane and came here. He saved a young woman who had jumped into the river and asked for the reason. It turned out that she couldn't bear a child and was despised by her in-laws.
The daoist chuckled and took out an alchemy pill, giving it to the young woman. In the end, a doctor diagnosed her pulse of pregnancy.
Thereafter, this woman gave birth to a child who was talented and hardworking. He passed the imperial examinations and eventually became the prime minister of a generation.
After the prime minister returned to his hometown in glory, he recalled the experience his mother had told him. Hence, he built this Daoist temple to commemorate the daoist who rode the crane.
Jinling was an ancient capital and was famous for its famous mountains, great rivers, buddhist temples, daoist temples, and immortal tombs. Therefore, this Daoist temple that was located at the waist of a mountain didn't have any famous scenery. Hence, there were usually very few people.
Even if there were people who came, they would be newlyweds or women who wanted to have a child. They wanted to get some good luck.
...
Old Wolf Ren hid in the dense grass, chewing on a grass root with a heavy expression.
He might have caught a big fish.
Old Wolf Ren was truly capable since he could become the best informant in Jinling City, selling information for a living. When he saw that so many factions were searching for Lu Zhiruo, he didn't join them in a hurry. Instead, he started to analyze the situation.
These were all major factions and their searching abilities were very strong. Therefore, he could start searching from the places they had overlooked.
This way, he would save a lot of time and effort.
Usually speaking, if a man went missing, it was basically due to murder. If a woman or child went missing, there was an 80 to 90% chance that they had been abducted and sold.
Old Wolf Ren started from this aspect and arranged for people to follow a few people whom he had long suspected to be human traffickers.
As for those human traffickers who were involved in this shady business, Old Wolf Ren didn't go to look for them. It was because he believed that the people from those major factions would definitely pay a visit to this place at the first instance. They might have already been captured and locked up in the Jinling government's prison to be interrogated.
(What?) (You said that there's no evidence?) The beloved daughter of a major character had gone missing. They wouldn't care about evidence. As long as there were suspects, they would capture them and interrogate them first.
Old Wolf Ren's strategy was successful. One of the people who were suspected to be human traffickers had left the night before and hadn't returned until now.
As they continued to investigate, they found out that that guy had driven a horse carriage and left from the east gate.
After Old Wolf Ren received the report from his subordinates, he was worried that they wouldn't be able to do their job well. Therefore, he personally went out and relied on his superb tracking techniques to find this Daoist temple.
This place might be a human trafficker's lair.
Old Wolf Ren thought of the women who had gone missing in Jinling City in recent years. Many of them were young ladies who had just gotten married.
He then thought of the reason why this Daoist temple was famous. Wasn't it because a woman had given birth to a prime minister?
Who wouldn't wish to have a son? Who wouldn't wish for their son to become a dragon?
"How damn sinister!"
Old Wolf Ren cursed. He looked down on human traffickers the most because they destroyed people's families. However, after that, he started to worry. Since the other party was able to carry out human trafficking so covertly and not be discovered for several years, they definitely had a great background.
(I've offended them...)
(Wait a minute, what am I afraid of? Just based on the commotion caused by that teacher this time around, unless the person behind this group is a relative of the emperor, they would all be finished.)
As he was worried that he would be discovered, he took another small path.
Li Ziqi, who had extremely poor athletic abilities, could be considered to have suffered.
"Ahh!"
Li Ziqi screamed in agony. Her right leg that was stepping on a rock slipped and she fell to the ground, scraping her leg.
"I'm really stupid!"
Li Ziqi silently cursed at herself for being useless. However, she quickly smiled and explained to Sun Mo, "Teacher, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me."
At such a time, she mustn't let her teacher be distracted.
"I'll carry you!"
Sun Mo didn't care about Li Ziqi's obstruction. He carried her on his back and continued to climb the mountain. The little sunny egg had already followed them. Moreover, as the eldest martial sister, she was concerned about her junior martial sister. Sun Mo definitely wouldn't blame her for being a hindrance.
At this moment, on the dirt path leading to the Daoist temple, Tantai Yutang was supporting himself against a tree as he panted.
"Your body can't make it!"
Xuanyuan Po frowned. "Why don't I carry you on my back?"
"No need!"
Tantai Yutang couldn't afford to lose face.
"Are you sure it's here?"
Jiang Leng frowned.
