Ma Jiacai said nervously, “Don’t worry, I will find them as soon as possible. As for these people, you can just order them around!”
“Sorry to trouble you.”
Jian Qingqing handed the ox-cart to him so that it would be faster.
Ma Jiacai quickly took it and rushed towards Jian Family village.
Their conversation was also seen by the villagers at the side. Many of them who had worked as workers in her house said, “Miss Jian, if you need our help, let us know. We will do our best to help!”
Jian Qingqing nodded and shouted, “This time, I will give a reward to anyone who goes with me to look for them. If anyone finds them, I will reward them heavily!”
When they heard that there was a reward, they all replied, “We will go with you!”
Jian Qingqing roughly arranged for them to go in teams of ten. They were led by workers who knew Xiao Hu and the others to look for people in the county town and the surrounding areas.
After giving them the task, Jian Qingqing could not care less about the sweat all over her body. She ran to the academy under the scorching sun.
Where did Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye go? Did they leave by themselves or were they taken away?
If they were taken away, were they captured by human traffickers or kidnapped by enemies?
Her family had always been friendly in the Jian Family Village and should not have made enemies with others. She only had an argument with the housekeeper of the Huang family when she bought the cow. Could it be them?
However, it had been so long since that incident, and Butler Wang was only a small housekeeper. The dispute between her and him was not that important. The Huang family had been exiled, so it should not be them.
Could it be that they were jealous of their family’s income? There were such people. She had been in and out of the county every day, so she had no way of knowing.
She ran all the way to the academy, but she could not think of anything.
When Mr. Liang saw her, he quickly poured her a glass of water. “We have looked everywhere in the academy, but we did not find anyone. The guards at the door said that they had not come back after school, and we have not seen anyone arguing around.”
Jian Qingqing gulped down mouthfuls of water. “Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Liang. I will go and look again.”
There were some vendors selling food around the academy, mainly for the students in the academy. Now, someone from the government office was questioning them.
Jian Qingqing walked over and listened.
The official saw her and said, “We’ve asked these vendors. They all said that they didn’t notice anyone, but we haven’t seen anything strange. No one has been caught or anything.”
Jian Qingqing panted heavily. “We haven’t found them anywhere. Something must have happened to them. Please look for them again.”
The officer promised, “That’s what we ought to do.”
At this time, Ming Zhiyan was riding a horse, he hurriedly rushed over. He pulled the reins and let out a ”woosh’ before jumping off the horse.
“How is it? Tell me about the situation.”
Jian Qingqing told him all the information, from the time she noticed their disappearance up until now. “Those vendors and guards all said that there was nothing unusual in the vicinity. Then they might have taken the initiative to go with someone or not met with an accident here. But Xiao Hu and the others know their limits. They wouldn’t go with someone or go to other places for no reason.”
Ming Zhiyan had followed her to the tree where they met every day and did not find anything unusual. They continued to walk along the road. The academy was the last house on this street, and the back was blocked by the wall. Peddlers set up their stalls in front.
Seeing that he was walking back, Jian Qingqing asked in puzzlement, “There’s nothing back there. What are you looking for?”
