Li Zhen was stunned and looked back at the little girl, but saw her walking away from the others expressionlessly. He slowly pinched the note.

The three of them returned to the inn. Li Zhen opened the note, which was written in Sogdian. It was very sloppy and obviously written in a hurry.

He had to hand the note to Kang Dazhuang. Kang Dazhuang looked at the note and jumped up immediately, "A Zhen, it is said that Sisi is in danger!"

Kang Dazhuang was immediately anxious, "I'll go to Lefang to find her!"

He turned around and was about to rush out, but Li Zhen grabbed him and shouted: "Calm down, if you are reckless, you will kill Sisi."

Kang Dazhuang sat down in pain with his head in his arms. If something happened to his sister, how could he explain to his parents?

Li Zhen thought quickly, and Lan Zhenning pushed Sisi to Tian Music House, but Deacon Lin of Lefang refused to admit that one of these two must have known Sisi's whereabouts, and even both of them knew.

There are also Shi Sanniang and Sogdian who gave him a note. These two people also have clues. The key is who to look for first?

At this moment, Xiaoxi walked in quickly and said to Li Zhen: "Brother Zhen, I have news."

Li Zhen was overjoyed, "What news?"

"The Lan Zhenning did not leave the restaurant. I saw him calling Hu Niang from the restaurant and scolding her. However, when I was about to leave, I met Shi Sanniang. She was very panicked and asked us to go to the back door to wait for her after dark.

Kang Dazhuang looked at the sky. It was afternoon, and his heart was burning, "A Zhen, I have to wait until evening!"

Li Zhen had calmed down and said lightly: "If we delayed for a long time on the road, isn't it the same thing? Don't worry about this moment."

.........

The sky gradually darkened, and the lights in Pingkangfang became bright, singing and dancing, and people were flying. The most colorful nightlife of the Tang Dynasty was presented in Pingkangfang.

But Li Zhen and the other two had no intention of participating in the nightlife that made people fall in love. They quickly arrived behind the Dunhuang Tavern in Xuanyangfang and hid in a corner.

After waiting for a while, the back door of the restaurant opened, and a beautiful figure leaned over and looked at both sides. Li Zhen recognized that she was Shi Sanniang, and he quickly met him, "Sanniang!"

Everyone in Dunhuang knew Li Zhen and admired him very much. Shi Sanniang was no exception. When she saw the young man she had once been obsessed with in a foreign land, a blush couldn't help but fly on her face.

She quickly pulled Li Zhen aside and whispered to him: "Ten days ago, a powerful man fell in love with Sisi and wanted to buy her first night, but Sisi refused. Lan Zhenning did not dare to offend that person, so he advised Sisi to leave the Dunhuang diner and introduced her to Tianmufang to learn to play the pipa."

Li Zhen clenched his fists and asked again: "Will that person let Sisi go?"

"Of course he would not let it go. The next day he brought a lot of money to Sisi, but when he heard that Sisi had left, he was furious and wanted to take his anger on the wine shop. However, Lan Dongzhu whispered a few words in his ear. He couldn't speak for a long time and had to leave angrily."

"What did Lan Zhenning say to him?"

"We don't know, but we have a sister who can read a little lip. She read four words, Tianmufang, and the man was silent when he heard these four words."

Li Zhen pondered for a moment, probably the backstage of Tian Music House was very tough, which scared the man. He told Li Zhen intuition that Lan Zhenning did not know Sisi's specific whereabouts.

He was grateful to Sanniang for telling him the news and asked again: "Sanniang, do you want to leave here and return to Dunhuang?"

Shi Sanniang shook her head and sighed, "Although we miss home sometimes, we still like the prosperity of Chang'an and look away. If we find a man who likes us, we will no longer be lonely. However, Sisi is very admirable. I don't know how many people are fascinated by her. She brings a lot of wealth to the restaurant, but always insists on her chastity. Sanlang, Sisi is a good girl. We were very jealous of her at the beginning, but now we sympathize with her, alas!"

Li Zhen nodded, "Thank you for the news, go back!"

Shi Sanniang hugged Li Zhen tightly, turned around and ran into the diner.

Li Zhen walked back to the corner, Kang Dazhuang came up and asked anxiously, "Is there any news about Sisi?"

"Si Si's whereabouts still have to be found in Tian Music House!"

.........

Like other cities in the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an closed the city gate after dark, and closed the gate at the hour of Hai. Guests looking for fun in Pingkangfang either stayed in Pingkangfang or had to leave before the hour of Hai.

Half an hour before the hour of Hai, Deacon Lin from Tian Music House struggled to get on a carriage with the support of several people. He usually had to go home at night.

Deacon Lin is actually just a senior friend. In Chang'an, where famous families gather, he really has no status. He has no followers and no carriage of his own. The carriage he is riding in is also a bus from Lefang.

When he got on the carriage, he closed his eyes. His home was far away. He would have to walk at least a quarter of an hour in Datongfang, south of the city. Deacon Lin would use this time to close his eyes and sleep for a while.

Not long after he closed his eyes, the carriage shook slightly and woke him up. He said a little unhappy: "Lao Luo, how did you drive the carriage?"

No one answered him. He was stunned and was about to ask again, but someone next to him patted his shoulder. When he turned around, his fat face turned white. He was obviously the only one in the carriage, but when did another person come out?

He was so scared that he was about to shout, but a dagger hit his throat, "If you dare to shout, I will kill you."

"I...I'll give you money!"

Deacon Lin realized that he had encountered the rumored carriage thieves and robbed single guests who were riding the carriage.

"Deacon Lin, you don't know me anymore?" Li Zhen asked with a smile.

"You are... that person in the afternoon!" Deacon Lin recognized Li Zhen.

Li Zhen's tone became cold, "I'll ask you, where has Kang Sisi been?"

"Didn't I say it? Our Lefang..."

Before he could finish speaking, the dagger stabbed into his skin, and a wisp of blood flowed down the dagger, and Deacon Lin screamed in pain.

Li Zhen put the dagger on his left ear, and you dare to coax me again, "You cut your ear!"

"I said! I said!" Deacon Lin was so scared that he trembled all over, and tears and snot flowed down his eyes and nose.

"explain!"

Li Zhen shouted fiercely, scaring him to tremble all over, and hurriedly said, "Si Si is here, but she has left."

“Where did you go?”

"Go...got..."

Seeing his eyes rolling, his hands gently exerted force, and blood gushed out. Deacon Lin was a person who cherished his body very much. At this time, although his ears were only a little broken, his face was covered in blood, so he was so scared that he howled like a pig.

Li Zhen put the dagger on his other ear and looked at him calmly. Deacon Lin was scared into a pool of mud and shouted: "She is in Wushun Mansion!"

After shouting, he burst into tears, but Li Zhen had no mercy and tried a little harder to his hands, "Continue talking!"

Deacon Lin cried and said, "The King of Wei likes Hu Ji and ordered his men to find a hundred young and beautiful Hu Ji, and they also need a virginity. In order to please the King of Wei, Wu Shun also searched for young and beautiful Hu Ji in Chang'an. The day before yesterday, Wu Shun came to Lefang and fell in love with Kang Sisi, so he tricked her into the mansion."

Li Zhen already understood that the King of Wei was Wu Chengsi. When he met the Suhu team in the Hexi Corridor, he should be Wu Chengsi's subordinate. No wonder the magistrate of Fulu County is so afraid. Could it be that Lan Zhenyu is Wu Chengsi's person?

Li Zhen thought about it carefully and it was indeed very possible. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain that Lan Zhenyu happened to appear in Taiyi Palace, so it was Wu Chengsi's order to compete for relics in Gaochang.

"Who is Wushun?"

"He is the fake son of King Wei and the backstage host of Tian Music House."

"What is the relationship between Lan Zhenning and Wu Shun? Did he give Sisi to the King of Wei?"

"Lan Zhenning has nothing to do with Wu Shun. He is... the son-in-law of the Dunhuang Suo family, and he has a little friendship with me."

Deacon Lin was so scared that he trembled all over and his voice changed. Li Zhen took the dagger away from his ear and ordered: "Speak on!"

"A few days ago... Lan Zhenning found me and said that the people from the Dugu family fell in love with Sisi, so he entrusted Sisi to me for protection. Unexpectedly, they happened to be met by Wu Shun the day before yesterday."

Li Zhen didn't know if this fat man was trying to clear himself, but one thing was certain that Sisi was tricked into the mansion by Wu Shun and was about to offer it to Wu Chengsi. This would not be false.

He put away his dagger and said coldly: "If you dare to inform me, I will kill your whole family!"

"The villain dares not!"

Deacon Lin started crying again. When he looked up, the person in front of him was gone. He covered his bloody ears. He grew up so big that he had never experienced such a painful abuse. He had lost all the flesh and shed so much blood. He pityed his misfortune and cried even loudly.

.........

The four of them returned to the inn and sat silently in the room. After a while, Jiuzhi suggested: "Otherwise, we report to the official, maybe we meet a righteous local official, and he will definitely return to Sisi for us!"

Xiaoxi shook her head, "Brother Fat, stop talking stupid things. If Wu Shun doesn't admit it, it will be useless even if the official is upright. Maybe he will even say that we are false accusations when we meet a bad official."

Kang Dazhuang also calmed down at this time, and he said in a deep voice: "Xiaoxi is right. We have to rely on ourselves for this matter. If we can save Rui'er, we will definitely save Sisi!"

He looked at Li Zhen with full expectations, hoping that Li Zhen could give him some confidence. At this time, Li Zhen, who was originally sitting on the bed, sat upright.

"Si Si must save her, but things will never be as simple as we save Rui'er. I plan to go and touch it tonight. To be honest, I am still not very relieved to Manager Lin. Even if he doesn't say it, the coachman will say that things will be in trouble until tomorrow."

"But...we don't know where Wushun Mansion is?"

Li Zhen sneered, "Since he is Wu Chengsi's fake, there will definitely be no fewer people who know it."

He walked to the window with his hands behind his back and his eyes fell on the Tian Music House opposite.
