Chapter 189 Five silver liang

　　When the middle-aged man surnamed Lin was questioned by Gu Xiran, he didn't yet know what had happened. But, first there was the incident of looting food, and then there was the unbridled clearing of the city, this situation scared him. He thought that Gu Xiran and the others were chasing to apprehend Shu Huan. He intended to cover the truth but then he remembered his own family's safety and didn't dare to conceal anything. Therefore, he hesitated and stuttered. Just after a long time, he made it clear what had happened in the morning.

　　"You haven't seen them since the looting?" Gu Xiran went blank, frowned and said, "That is impossible!"

　　Zhang Zirong didn't understand, so, he asked, "How is it impossible? Perhaps they were caught by mistake. Quickly, let someone go check it!"

　　"I was present at the time of the incident!" Gu Xiran said, "I have personally seen those people who looted the grain. She wasn't there. Besides, if she was present, why wouldn't she call me when she saw me?"

　　Zhang Zirong had always been quick and thoughtless in speech, so he disapprovingly said, "Maybe she shouted but you didn't hear it!"

　　Gu Xiran looked at him angrily and didn't want to talk to him anymore!

　　The scene at that time was a bit chaotic and noisy. It was indeed possible that Shu Huan shouted and he didn't hear her, but couldn't she have come forward to find him if he didn't hear? Unless, she was unable to move freely at that moment! However, he had seen all those victims of the disaster who were unable to move freely, who had been tied up and caught. She wasn't among them!

　　Gu Xiran sulked for a while. After thinking about it, he was still worried and ordered, "Someone, come! Bring all those who looted the grain here! In addition, those bailiffs who were present at that time, also come forward!"

　　Someone immediately did as ordered.

　　Those victims of the disaster who looted food were pardonable because of their hunger. Gu Xiran didn't punish them severely after he caught them. However, it was also impossible to not punish them. Otherwise, this kind of thing would happen often in the future. Therefore, these people were punished to go build and strengthen the temporary accommodations. Soon, they were brought here.

　　Gu Xiran looked carefully again this time, but still didn't find Shu Huan. Naturally, it was the same for Shang Xin. There was no trace of them at all.

　　Zhang Zirong finally had nothing to say. He shut his mouth, frowned and was in deep thoughts.

　　Gu Xiran was extremely disappointed. Then, he asked those bailiffs who were present at that time. He patiently described the appearance and shape of Shu Huan to them. Unfortunately, the scene was chaotic at that time. The bailiffs didn't try to remember the people at all. They all just said that they couldn't remember.

　　Things seemed to have gone into a dead-end at once. Two people who were clearly easy to find had disappeared completely!
