Chapter 382 Ye Qing is missing
I stretched my head to take a look, but there was no sign of Ye Qing. The wonton bowl on the stall was still steaming.
"Your boss hasn't paid me. When I just delivered the wontons to her, she was gone. I don't know what the girl was in such a hurry for. She didn't even finish her wontons." The stall owner sighed.
Mr. Zhang felt something was wrong, but he still opened the cash box, took out the coins, and did not forget to record the money in the account.
Xiaoyan also brought the bowl over at this time, and was also surprised to see Mr. Zhang handing money to the stall owner.
Their boss is such an easy-going person, yet he still feels sorry for this little bit of money.
Xiaoyan stretched her head to look outside, but didn't see Ye Qing, so she hurried out to check.
When I arrived at the stall, there was still half a bowl of wontons in the bowl on the table, and a spoon was lying casually on the table.
Xiaoyan felt something was wrong. Their boss had a little habit of never letting go of cutlery during meals, and what he hated most was leaving them on the table.
"Old Shen, did you see which direction our boss went?" Xiao Yan was a little anxious. Ye Dalang had just reminded him to keep an eye on Ye Qing as it was not safe outside today.
"Didn't I see? Your boss practiced some kind of kung fu. He just turned around and disappeared." The stall owner, Lao Shen, made a joke.
Xiaoyan looked around and didn't see Ye Qing. He clapped his hands and ran towards the yamen.
This place is only a few hundred meters away from the government office. Halfway through the run, I met Ye Laosan.
"Third Master, our boss is missing. He was eating wontons just now, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye." Xiaoyan still felt that Ye Qing would not leave without saying hello.
"What? What did you say? Where did you disappear?" Ye Laosan suddenly raised his voice.
"In front of the bookstore, at Lao Shen's wonton stall." Xiao Yan wiped the sweat from his face, waved to Ye Lao San, and continued to run towards the yamen.
Ye Laosan turned around and ran towards the wonton stall. When he got there, Mr. Zhang was leading people asking people around if they had seen Ye Qing.
"Lao Zhang, have you found the person?" Ye Laosan ran so fast that his voice was split.
"Third Master, Zhu from the shop next door saw her enter the alley in front." Mr. Zhang also became nervous.
Ye Laosan didn't bother to ask any more questions. He went back to the store, called a dozen burly men, and chased after the man in the alley.
Ye Laosan heard that Ye Qing went there on his own, so he probably wasn't captured by anyone. He must have discovered something and followed them.
They need to hurry up; they are familiar with the dock and shouldn't lose any time.
Ye Laosan had good thoughts at first, but after searching the alley twice and still not seeing Ye Qing, he started to panic.
At this time Ye Dalang also came with his men. When he arrived, he saw Ye Laosan rummaging around like a headless fly, not even leaving a straw hat behind, and he wanted to kick even a stone.
"Uncle San, have you found Qingya?" Ye Dalang's voice trembled a little.
"No, we searched the entire alley. Could he be hiding in someone's house?"
Ye Laosan was not convinced by this reason. The people on the dock were all from nearby villages, and if someone went in, there should be some noise.
Ye Dalang forced himself to calm down, "Uncle San, go look around, I'll bring some people to knock on the door and see."
Ye Laosan looked at the yamen servants' uniforms they were wearing and knew that they were more suitable to knock on the door than he was.
He split his men into two groups and chased in two directions.
Ye Erlang also heard about it. He did not chase in that direction, but asked someone to block the way out.
When the shop owners at the dock heard that someone was missing, they closed their shops and helped look for the person.
The government also stopped issuing documents for leaving the dock, and all ships were not allowed to leave the dock.
Many ships that came to replenish food heard that they were not allowed to leave, and they were so angry that they came to argue with the people in the government office.
When they heard that someone was missing, they all became united in their hatred of the enemy and went back to have their servants search the boat, fearing that there might be thieves hiding on board.
Some passengers with children got off the ship and stayed in the inn at the pier, which was safer there.
The entire dock was in action. Boss Ye also got the news and brought a few young men from the village to help.
"Dad, Qingya is missing." Ye Erlang's eyes were red.
"What do you think of my sister? What use are you to me?" Boss Ye was anxious and angry.
Ye Qing has never left his sight since she was a child, and he didn't know how scared the little girl was.
People at the dock formed a patrol team to help find people at the dock.
People in Ji Village also heard about it. Xu Lizheng took the boys from the village and surrounded the entire dock exit. They would never let a single fly pass.
Ye Dalang came back with a frustrated look on his face. He asked around in all the alleys but found no trace of Ye Qing.
Ye Dalang and several leaders met each other and told each other their news.
Boss Ye asked Ye Dalang to take charge of the yamen, as there were some things that were more suitable for him in this capacity.
The runners in the yamen were divided into several teams and went to search each house.
The residents at the dock all hoped that people from the government would come to check on their homes. If they found them hiding at home, they would definitely try to steal their money and kill them.
There is no child on the street now, all of them have been taken home by their parents.
There were also some careful ones who stayed at the dock to help and send the children back to the village.
Ye Dalang didn't care about the group of human traffickers he had discovered before, nor was he afraid of alerting the enemy. No one was more important than Qing Ya now.
As the people who went out to look for people came back one after another, Ye Dalang's expression became more and more solemn.
Boss Ye strode into the room, picked up the teapot on the table, and without pouring it into the cup, poured it directly into his mouth through the spout of the pot.
"Everyone, come over and tell me what you found out. The entire dock has been searched, but not a single person was found."
Ye Erlang pulled at his collar; the clothes were so tight that he couldn't breathe.
"For the area I was in charge of, I checked even the cellar and the chicken coop." After saying that, he poured some water from the cup and splashed it on his face. He was anxious and his face felt swollen and uncomfortable.
"It's the same over there. I didn't leave any corner untouched." Ye Laosan was much more steady, but the hot sweat on his head still showed his anxiety.
Boss Ye asked all the people who went out to look for people, and looking at the map in his hand, he indeed did not miss any one.
There were several places on the map that overlapped with the ones I searched for, but I still couldn't find the person.
Boss Ye stared at the map without saying anything, and the others didn't dare to disturb him.
Boss Ye tried to think from another angle, but he was confused and had no idea what to do.
"Da Lang, how long have you been sending people to call for help? No one has come yet." Boss Ye hopes that someone professional can come to help find someone.
"It's been more than two hours. If there is someone coming to help, they should be here soon." Ye Dalang said this with a guilty conscience, as he was not sure if anyone would come.
The others obviously also knew something about the current county magistrate. Now they blocked the dock, and people who tipped off the Miao family could not get in.
