Master Luo Cao

Chapter 39 Fox Lady

The neighboring county is called Ming, which is named for its abundant tea. The magistrate of the county is Guan Che, who is also an elegant man. The leeks are cropped one crop after another. Although Fu Yunshu is not good at it, he also knows that among the many opera troupes in Ming County, the Chunlai troupe is the most famous, and the Chunlai troupe is the head of Huadan Xiaochunlou, who sings the best. Guan Che should not be so ruthless because he loves the beauty and loves the beauty.

Although he was confused, Fu Yunshu still said: "Since you came here on purpose, let's ask about the specific situation."

The class leader of Chunlai class used to be a Huadan, although his face is old now, but his features are good and handsome, but when he saw Fu Yunshu, he knelt down with a "plop", his facial features crowded together with the wrinkles on his face, and wept loudly "I beg Mr. Fu to be the master of the people!" As he spoke, he aimed at Fu Yunshu's thigh and was about to pounce on him. Kou Luoqi had been prepared for a long time, and lightly and skillfully stepped in front of Fu Yunshu, and said with a smile, "Go back."

Zheng Chunlai raised his head and glanced at the tall and tall young man in front of him through the hazy eyes of tears. Seeing that the smile on his face was warm but fierce, he immediately shrank back knowingly, knelt down on the spot and wept and said: "In the troupe of Xiaomin Opera Huadan Xiaochunlou has been missing for half a month, and there is no news. Xiaomin almost searched the entire Ming County, but there is no sign of him. I heard someone said that he seemed to see Xiaochunlou leaving the county gate and coming towards Jiuhe County. It was Xiaomin who found it, but he was unfamiliar with the place, and he couldn't find it no matter how hard he searched... I beg you to be the master for Xiaomin!"

"Has been missing for half a month?" Fu Yunshu frowned suddenly, and murmured, "This is troublesome..."

Kou Luoche asked: "Do you know why Xiaochunlou left the troupe?"

Zheng Chunlai wiped away his tears and said, "It's because I don't know that I am in a hurry... Mr. Guan insisted that Xiaomin bullied Xiaochunlou, but Xiaomin is willing to swear with his life that there will be no such thing! Chunlou was brought up by Xiaomin since childhood." My apprentice, we both depended on each other for life, and we worked hard together to make the Chunlai troupe bigger. I also said that the Chunlai troupe will be his in the future. Everyone in the troupe knows that it is definitely not Xiaomin who treats Xiaochun badly. Lou! Your lord can ask them whatever you want!"

"So," Fu Yunshu frowned slightly, and said, "He disappeared without warning?"

Hearing Fu Yunshu's words, Zheng Chunlai's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he lowered his head guiltily.This scene happened to be in the eyes of Kou Luoche, and he said faintly: "Our county magistrate is not a god, and we can't find people by counting fingers. If you don't tell the truth, no one can help you."

Zheng Chunlai's face turned pale, his lips trembled a few times, he hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Chunlou...Chunlou had an illness in the past year, but after recovering from the illness, the root cause of the disease has fallen. His voice...is not as good. Before that, I said to the public that Xiao Chunlou's body was not healed, and he only came out occasionally to sing a few times. He said that he had been looking for medicine to cure his throat these days, and dared to pour all kinds of weird things into his mouth. I can't stop it, but it has little effect, until...until a month ago..."

Fu Yunshu asked, "What happened a month ago?"

Zheng Chunlai: "Chun Lou suddenly came to me excitedly and told me that he met Xiangu and would like to give him the elixir, as long as he is willing to practice with her for a few days."

Kou Luoche was taken aback suddenly, thinking that this line was really familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Fu Yunshu frowned and said reproachfully: "There is no such good thing in the world, most likely Xiaochunlou was deceived."

Zheng Chunlai clapped his hands and wailed: "That's what I said! But he was fascinated and wanted to die. I just stopped him and locked him up for a few days. Finally, I didn't bother. I thought he had figured it out. Who knew... Who knew that after half a month, the person suddenly disappeared!"

Fu Yunshu asked: "Do you think Xiaochunlou left because of this?"

Zheng Chunlai said categorically: "Other than this, there is no other strange thing!"

"Could it be that you don't know, um... for example..." Fu Yunshu learned a lot from the case of Kong Lun and Shen Jue. Thinking that Xiaochunlou is a male role, he must have a beautiful face. If you are favored by those with unique tastes, if you use power to force you to show tenderness, it is not difficult to win.Thinking like this, he faltered and said: "Xiaochunlou may have some... relatively close relationship with some people. In a moment of passion, he went to his head and wanted to stay with that person forever, so he abandoned the theater troupe. , follow him..."

Zheng Chunlai stared blankly at Fu Yunshu.

Kou Luoche also stared at him blankly.

Fu Yunshu glanced at him, coughed awkwardly, and said, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"

Kou Luoche couldn't help but bit his lip under the kind eyes of the little county magistrate, and did not smile, cupped his hands and said: "The county magistrate's words are very reasonable, I worship you."

Fu Yunshu was not a fool either, and he immediately heard that his words were teasing, but he couldn't say much because of the occasion, so he could only puff up his cheeks silently.

Zheng Chunlai came to his senses, and quickly waved his hands and said: "There is absolutely no such thing! My lord, although there are indeed many people who like Chunlou, but he has self-knowledge, knows that he is just a low-level actor, and has always been just acting on the occasion. Abandoned the theatrical troupe and eloped with his colleagues!"

He denied it so affirmatively, Fu Yunshu didn't want to say anything more, he just asked: "The news you inquired is that Xiaochunlou left Ming County and came to Chaojiuhe?"

Zheng Chunlai said, "Yes."

Fu Yunshu asked: "You have been searching in Jiuhe County for the past few days, but did you get any clues?"

Zheng Chunlai shook his head in disappointment, and said: "The people in Jiuhe County don't know Xiaochunlou, and they haven't found any results after asking."

"I do have a clue." Kou Luoche said suddenly, meeting Fu Yunshu's surprised eyes, he smiled at him, and said, "The county lord still remembers that the day we picked Kong Lun back from Jindiao Mountain, the man in Walnut Lane Liu Xiucai came to report to the officials?"

Fu Yunshu's expression gradually became serious, "...I remembered, it seems that someone in his family is missing too?"

"Exactly." Kou Luoche said: "Liu Xiucai's son was looking for medicine for his mother, and he also met some so-called 'fairy girl'." After a pause, he lowered his voice, and said: "What kind of fox fairy... ..."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zheng Chunlai became excited immediately, "Chunlou told me the same! She said that fairy is a good fox fairy, so she can make friends with people!"

"I don't know if she has a good relationship with others," Fu Yunshu said with a sneer, "It's very possible that she will betray someone." Turning to Kou Luoche, "I remember you said last time that you sent someone to find Liu Xiucai's son , is there any result?"

"It's only been two days," Kou Luoche said, "I'm busy with Kong Lun's case, so I haven't asked about it yet."

"Then call them today and ask them," Fu Yunshu said, "Let's see what's going on."

The three policemen who were sent by Kou Luochao to track down the whereabouts of Liu Xiucai's son were soon passed on, and they all knelt in front of Fu Yun's writing, "I pay my respects to the county magistrate."

Fu Yunshu went straight to the tunnel: "The person Mr. Tiankou sent you to find a few days ago, do you have a clue now?"

The other two policemen said no, only Yang Ye said: "Reporting to my lord, my subordinates have inquired about a similar disappearance case in a neighboring county." Although Jiuhe County has a lot of manpower, it is still in short supply. Not so careful, Yang Ye is gentle and careful, so Kou Luoche asked him to follow this case.

Fu Yunshu said: "But the disappearance of Huadan Xiaochun Building in Chunlai Class of Ming County?"

"Ming County? Xiaochun Building?" Yang Ye was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and said in bewilderment, "My lord, my subordinates don't know about this."

Kou Luoche's heart moved, and he immediately asked, "Which case did you find out?"

Yang Yedao: "In Jiangbei Prefecture, there is a place for fireworks called Yuanyang Pavilion. Some time ago, a young lady was lost for no reason."

Kou Luoche asked: "Can you find out if someone is lost in a brothel in Lianzhou Prefecture?"

Yang Ye blushed, and said: "Sir, it's a coincidence that I have a business brother who often visits there, and I heard a girl there mention it by chance. He went home the day before yesterday and served as a Chat with me."

Kou Luoche said: "In a place like a brothel, fish and dragons are mixed together. It is a common occurrence to lose a few people. It should not be confused with this missing case in this county."

"This subordinate also thought so, but my brother told me the details." Yang Ye paused, and said, "It is said that the young man is getting older and has fewer and fewer customers, so he keeps asking for money. God worships Buddha, trying to get a blind medicine to make oneself look young."

Kou Luoche raised his eyebrows, "Medicine?"

Fu Yunshu said coldly, "It's medicine again."

The case involved a lot and was complicated and confusing. Fu Yunshu only dismissed Zheng Chunlai first, then raised his hand to summon Yang Ye, and said in a low voice, "I will leave this matter to you. If there is any situation, please report it to me."

Yang Ye looked embarrassed, "My lord, this subordinate is also at a loss, I don't know what to do next..."

"Neither Zheng Chunlai nor Liu Xiucai can give any more clues, you can send someone to inquire around to see if there are any teenagers who also disappeared because of searching for medicine." Kou Luoche said, and suddenly smiled teasingly at Yang Ye She smiled and said, "Or you can go to the Mandarin Duck House and ask the girls there to see if they know anything about the missing young lady."

"Sir, this..." Yang Ye was still an unmarried young man, his face was reddened by Kou Luoche's laughter, he hesitated and couldn't speak.

"Okay," Fu Yunshu gave Kou Luoche a cold look, and said to Yang Ye: "Mr. Kou was joking with you, don't take it seriously."

"Hey," Kou Luoche waved his hand and said, "No, no, Yang Ye, you didn't go to the mandarin duck restaurant for pleasure, but to sacrifice yourself for the investigation of the people. On a par, you don’t have to be embarrassed.”

These words coaxed Yang Ye into a daze, he was filled with pride, he cupped his hands, and said, "Yes, sir!"

After Yang Ye left, Fu Yunshu said with a smile: "I don't see that Brother Kou is very good at coaxing people."

"It's not a lie," Kou Luoche said with a smile, "It's just telling the truth." After a pause, he said, "I'm a little surprised, is Brother Fu not interested in investigating such a complicated and confusing case by himself?"

"I really want to." Fu Yunshu sighed decadently, took out a thick account book from the desk drawer, threw it on the table, and said resentfully: "It's a pity that this damn Xia Fu weighs me down."

Kou Luoche casually picked up the account book and flipped through a few pages. Looking at the pitiful figures, there was a sympathetic smile on his face, "...Brother Fu, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain to the magistrate."

Fu Yunshu slumped straight into the grand master's chair, waved his hands and said, "Let him go, at worst I'll go to the state government and be scolded by him."
