Song Zizhou was not present when Song Yao asked the shopkeeper whether there was a missing girl here. When he heard Song Yao say these words, his brows frowned even tighter, as if he could pinch a fly to death.

Song Zizhou walked up to her with an expression of disbelief, "Is there really a missing girl here?"

Song Yao nodded, "Yes, the shopkeeper said it himself. If you don't believe it, you can go ask him again."

"If that's the case, then we must hurry and find Huaying!" Song Zizhou said, "I'll go call them now."

"it is good."

Song Yao responded and then returned to the room.

In addition to Song He, E Yu also came.

However, when E Yu saw that Song Yao's face was not very good, he asked with concern: "Ayao, what happened?"

Song Yao walked to the bedside and stood still, saying in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law, Ah He, Huaying is missing. There might be people from the Blood Mist Cult here. Don't go out before you leave tomorrow. My eldest brother and I will go look for her. You stay and look after the child."

E Yu stood up and asked, "Hasn't Huaying been found yet?"

"Yeah." Song Yao said, "Because we couldn't find her, I guessed she was taken away by the Blood Mist Cult."

Song He said worriedly, "Hua Ying is also a young girl. If there really is a Blood Mist Cult here and we haven't been able to find her, then it's very possible."

"Well, I'll go out first." Song Yao was really worried about Huaying, afraid that something might happen to Huaying, so she didn't want to waste a moment and wanted to run out to find someone right now.

Huaying really paid a lot for the original owner. After being exiled, she also worked tirelessly to help her plant in the space. To be honest, the reason why Song Yao can now be so confident that there will be no shortage of food is because Huaying planted a lot of things in the space.

If something really happened to Huaying, Song Yao would definitely feel very guilty.

Because she failed to protect Huaying.

Song Zizhou had already gathered everyone, but for the safety of Song He, Song Silan and others, Song Yao asked Xiao Yan, Song Qing and the others to stay.

After arranging everything, Song Yao and the others set out to find Huaying.

It was already dark at this time, and there were only a few elderly men and women walking around in the town, and there was not a single young person to be seen.

Song Yao and his team split into four groups and searched the entire Ningyi County.

But no matter how hard they looked, they couldn't find Huaying, as if she had disappeared from the face of the earth.

Now, Song Yao became even more worried.

Seeing her so worried, Xiao Chi said, "Why don't you go ask the local county magistrate?"

Song Yao glanced at him and said, "The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Even if there is a county magistrate here, he might be colluding with the people of the Blood Mist Cult. If he is really colluding with the people of the Blood Mist Cult, then such a person cannot be kept."

Song Zizhou next to him said, "If that's the case, he must be killed!"

"Well." Song Yao said, "Then let's go to the county government office first."

The county government office was located in Ningyi County Town, but when they arrived there, the office was open.

Song Yao and his companions went straight into the county government office, and soon they saw a bailiff.

Song Zizhou asked directly, "We are here to see the county magistrate. Is he at the government office?"

The bailiff walked up to them, took a look at them, and then said, "The master is here. Who are you? Where are you from? What do you want from him?"

Xiao Chi didn't say anything more and just took out his token.

When the yamen runner saw that this person was the current Prince Heng, he was frightened and quickly knelt down to pay his respects, "I didn't know you were the prince. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

"Ignorance is not a crime." Xiao Chi had a blank expression on his face, but his brows were naturally majestic. "Go and call your master. I have something to ask him!"

"Yes!" The bailiff stood up hurriedly. After asking Xiao Chi and the others to go to the court, he immediately went to bring Magistrate Zhang.

The yamen runner had already told the situation to County Magistrate Zhang. When County Magistrate Zhang arrived, he bowed and apologized, fearing that Xiao Chi would hold him accountable.

Xiao Chi said bluntly: "I heard that a girl is missing here?"

Magistrate Zhang was stunned for a moment before he stood up and looked at Xiao Chi. His eyes were filled with respect. "Your Highness, are you here specifically to investigate this matter?"

Xiao Chi was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and just said, "Cut the nonsense. Why did those girls disappear? Have they been found?"

Magistrate Zhang didn't dare to offend, and quickly replied, "Your Highness, eight girls are indeed missing here. Three were found dead, and the rest have yet to be found. I am guilty of incompetence, Your Highness. Please forgive me!"

Song Zizhou looked at Xiao Chi and Song Yao, "Your Highness, perhaps the disappearance of these girls is indeed related to the Blood Mist Cult. Perhaps Huaying is also..."

County Magistrate Zhang looked bewildered. He glanced at Song Zizhou, then at Xiao Chi, and asked in confusion, "What Blood Mist Cult?"

Song Yao shifted her gaze to Magistrate Zhang, "You don't even know about the Blood Mist Cult?"

County Magistrate Zhang shook his head. "I don't know. I've never heard of the Blood Mist Cult."

Judging from County Magistrate Zhang's expression, he didn't seem to be lying.

But it is also true that if he really knew about the existence of the Blood Mist Cult and what it did, he would think that the disappearance of those girls was due to the Blood Mist Cult.

So, Song Yao explained to him what kind of sect the Blood Mist Cult was and their most abominable behaviors.

When County Magistrate Zhang heard this, his eyes immediately turned into shock. "What? Those missing girls were actually abducted by the Blood Mist Cult?!"

He was very surprised and it was almost unbelievable, because he really didn't expect that the disappearance of these girls was due to the Blood Mist Cult that he had never heard of!

Since Magistrate Zhang already knew about it, Song Yao said directly, "My good sister is missing. It's only been about half an hour since she disappeared. Please send some people to look for her everywhere, and also check the routes leading to other places in the town. If she was really taken away by the Blood Mist Cult, she may not be here now."

Because Xiao Chi was also here, County Magistrate Zhang didn't dare to refuse or ask too many questions, and immediately went out to send someone to look for Huaying!

In fact, he didn't know what Huaying looked like, he just told them that the missing person was a young girl, and if anyone saw a young girl being taken away, they must bring her back immediately!

Thirty yamen runners and constables set out immediately.

Magistrate Zhang returned to the courtroom and walked up to Xiao Chi and the others. "Your Highness, I've already sent people out to look for them. As long as they've just left town, they'll definitely be able to find them!"

"Yes." Xiao Chi said, "If you find them, bring them to Fushan Inn immediately!"

"Yes!" Magistrate Zhang bowed.

Immediately, Song Yao and the others left the county government office.

On the way back to the inn, they were also looking everywhere, but they still couldn't find Huaying.

Huaying was clearly following them when they entered the town, so how come she disappeared after they went to the inn?

Moreover, none of the people who accompanied them saw Huaying.

This is too outrageous.
