Chapter 1438: Chapter 1522: Li Family’s Eldest Young Lady
There are only these two possibilities in total.
If his wife is in this town, he would search house by house to find her.
But if she has been taken away, he must investigate the comings and goings at the checkpoints, calculate those who have entered and left the town recently.
He and Haoming split into two groups, with Haoming commanding the small animals to gather information in the town to see if any new faces have been lodging or staying in the town recently.
Currently, he does not know his wife’s situation, but Shujun guesses that her situation must be dire. Otherwise, she would have found a way to escape after being kidnapped, rather than be taken away so easily.
He calculated in his mind that the team that took his wife, including his wife, must have at least four people. A carriage needs a driver, and there are hoof prints on both sides of the carriage, indicating a horse is accompanying the carriage on each side.
So he guessed the target was four people.
His wife has a distinctive feature, even though she has grown quite a bit compared to before, she is still shorter than the average woman for now, and she has short hair. This short hair was newly grown with hair-growth cream, whereas in Dayuan, regardless of gender, everyone had long hair. Of course, there are rare cases like Little Wu, Yuenin, who had to cut her hair short because it was scorched by a great fire.
Listing these clues one by one, Shujun thought to himself, his greatest advantage is gold, silver, he has money!!
The Huizi Store has branches everywhere, and there are some Huizi Store properties in this town too.
Shujun took his token to these shops to withdraw some money, then ordered a shopkeeper from a restaurant to gather the beggars in the town, enticing them with a full meal as a reward to use these beggars who linger around the city gates.
Two more days passed.
Inside and outside, Shujun and his companion delayed their journey in this town for a total of five days, but fortunately, Heaven rewards the diligent.
"Third Master, there’s news! A beggar named Wang Laizi, who likes to linger outside the Xin Yong Escort Agency, said that five days ago, on the day you and Fourth Master entered the town, a group of people contacted Escort Army Sun at the Escort Agency. It seemed there were four or five people. A servant claimed their master was the Young Miss of the Li family and hired the Escort Agency for protection. Just as it happened, Escort Army Sun was about to deliver a batch of goods to Nanling, so he accepted their silver."
"Among those people, there was a woman who never showed her face, said to be Young Miss Li. She was supposedly paralyzed due to an accident and couldn’t move, always covered with a cloak, never revealing her face or body, carried by her husband."
"Husband?"
Shujun’s face turned fierce, thinking this group of people was highly suspicious. Especially this so-called Young Miss Li, paralyzed and unable to move? That’s fine, but always wearing a cloak, not showing her face or body?
Unless there are special circumstances, why else be like this?
And the word ’husband’ especially hit the sensitive nerve of Shujun.
If his guess is correct, this Young Miss Li might just be his Xiao Hui. How could he not know his Xiao Hui had another husband?
"Nanling? I’ll surely have a good meeting with you!"
From here to Nanling is the same route Shujun took when he traveled from Pingchang Prefecture to the Capital, passing through Nanling to this place, which took a full ten days.
The Escort Agency travels slowly, Escort Army Sun escorting the goods, the team’s target is large, and their traveling speed would inevitably be much slower.
Therefore, even though they delayed five days here, Shujun estimated in his mind that if he set off now, he should be able to catch up with them in seven to eight days.
