Chapter 176: The Jade Man Lost His Fortune
Qin Jinteng bounced up from the couch, went straight to Li Gou'er, and asked hurriedly:
"Missing, when did you disappear?"
Li Gou'er had never seen Qin Jin lose his temper like this, and he was immediately frightened and stammered, and his usual sharp teeth were gone at the moment, and he was intermittently verbose for a while before he could explain the cause of the matter.
It turned out that Fan Su took the maid out of Shengye Fang early in the morning to buy rouge gouache, but he has not come back until now, and there is no news. Xiaoman also sent the maidservant girl to the fat powder shop he frequented to inquire, but was told that Fan Su had already left in the morning.
At this time, Xiaoman was completely panicked, and quickly informed the old man of the Fuzhong family about the matter. Everyone in the mansion knows that Fan Su and Xiaoman are already Qin Jin's women, and they may not be able to be the housemothers of the Qin family, but no one dares to despise them. Although the old man of the family was a person with ideas, he didn't dare to make decisions on his own, so he had to send Li Gou'er to the barracks to report to Qin Jin.
This kind of thing is specially purchased by servants on weekdays, but she and Xiaoman both feel that the maidservants in the house are not to their liking, so they have gone out to buy it in person since then. I don't want to make such a big mess today.
When encountering such things, if it is a famous hero in the history books, he will definitely pretend to make a gesture and make some allusions such as "Dayu controls the water, and he does not enter the house three times" to show his reputation.
However, Qin Jin was very unimpressed with this, although he would do whatever it took to do something, he would never trade his woman for a false reputation.
Qin Jin immediately summoned Pei Jing and others, and after explaining the situation to them, he took Li Gou'er Pegasus into Chang'an and returned to Shengyefang's mansion.
As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Man threw himself into Qin Jin's arms, already crying into tears. She and Fansu grew up together in the palace since childhood, although they are not sisters, but they are better than sisters, and now seeing that Fansu's whereabouts are unknown, how can she not worry?
"The head of the family must get my sister back!"
Qin Jin raised his hand and stroked the soft hair on the back of Xiao Man's head, and said softly:
"Don't worry, Fan Su will definitely come back safe and sound!"
At this time, it was already dark, and after briefly inquiring about the specific situation, Qin Jin's first reaction was to mobilize Pei Jing and others to visit all night. But another thought, one is that they have no experience in handling cases, and the other is that this move may cause misunderstanding and suspicion of the Son of Heaven.
So I pressed this idea for the time being, and it was better not to make this decision unless it was a last resort. Since the power of the Shenwu Army is not used, then the only way to solve it is through official channels.
"Let's go, go to Jingzhao Mansion!"
Qin Jin took more than a dozen people with his entourage, and left Shengye Fang again. This time, with the energy of the assassination that night, Qin Jin would bring at least eighteen or more guards with him every time he traveled.
On the small courtyard building across the street from Qinfu, a window was pushed open with a creak, and half a graceful figure poked out of it, and the eyes that loomed in the twilight were full of expectation and worry.
Bei Fang bit his lip lightly and said to himself: "It's so late and it's still fast, isn't there another mess?"
She has heard a lot about the martial arts in the past few days, and the noblewomen in Chang'an City are even more interested in it, and even the calluses have been born in their ears when they hear it. Especially after learning that Qin Jin was not yet married, there were many noble ladies who had good things to count the good daughters of various families in the city, and talked about who could be the housewife of the Qin Mansion.
Of course, there are many noblewomen who make fun of her and want to go to the Qin Mansion for her to propose. At this time, although she pretended to be indifferent, there were still bursts of joy in her heart, but after the joy, there was a faint sadness.
After all, she has an unclear relationship with Cui Anshi, he, will he care? It is precisely because of this that she has always carefully guarded this relationship and did not dare to announce it easily. She is afraid that after everything is spread out, it will become a bubble and shatter to the ground, even if it is like now, there is a glimmer of hope every day, and it is rare to be happy in her heart!
The sound of the horse's hooves gradually faded away, and seemed to take her heart away, and she stood in front of the window for a long time!
At this moment, Qin Jin was worried, seeing that the sky was about to get dark, if he couldn't find Fansu anymore, he was afraid that he would be more auspicious...... He rarely dared to think about it anymore.
When he arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, Jingzhao Yin Wangshou happened to be in the government office.
It was also in the past few days that there were suddenly many refugees in the city who had fled to Guanzhong from Shandong, and there were more public security cases, especially several cases involving relatives in the city, which made his head as big as a fight and his heart haggard.
Wang Shou had only been working hard for a few months to straighten Jing Zhaoyin from the position of Jing Zhao Shaoyin, but one after another cases had appeared one after another that gave him an extremely headache, so how could he go home and sleep peacefully?
Due to Jing Zhaoyin's vigorous supervision, none of the soap officials in the government office dared to be lazy, for fear that the three embers of the new official would burn on him again.
Seeing Qin Jin roaring hurriedly, he came to the government office. Wang Shou's heart immediately rose with an ominous premonition.
"What happened to General Nakaro?"
Before Qin Jin could speak, Li Gou'er, who was following alongside, spoke first.
"The vegetarian lady in our house bought fat powder during the day, and she has not returned yet, so I have come to report the case!"
Wang Shou's intuition thundered in his brain, and the whole person stumbled a few steps, his body shook, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Hey, the king makes you careful, this, how is this ......"
Li Gou'er was taken aback by Wang Shou's reaction and yelled.
Qin Jin waved away Li Gou'er, came to the main hall with Wang Shou, and just closed the door, he couldn't wait to inform Fansu of his disappearance in detail.
Wang Life's servants served tea, but patted their heads and smiled bitterly: "Look at this memory, I forgot that Zhonglang will not be used to eating tea soup!"
"So that you don't need to be polite, you can quench your thirst with white water!
Wang Shou spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Zhonglang General may not know yet, I don't know how to do it these days, I actually saw the hell, several relatives have come to report the disappearance, I don't want Zhonglang General to come to the door in person today, Wang is already in a hurry!"
This surprised Qin Jin, and then he felt some sympathy for Wang Shou.
Jing Zhaoyin has always been a thankless official, don't look at the prominent position, if there is no support from the prime minister, this position will still be unstable sooner or later. Wang Shou has no foundation in the court, and he has never been Jingzhao Shaoyin before, but he is just a marionette in the hands of Yang Guozhong. Because of the fall of Yang Guozhong, he actually gave him a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and in the redistribution of power, he was corrected as Jing Zhaoyin by mistake.
However, Wang Shou also knew that his own foundation was thin, and it was impossible to compare with the previous Jing Zhaoyin, they either had Li Linfu or Yang Guozhong's support. And he, there is nothing, only seemingly illusory luck.
If it weren't for the appearance of Qin Jin, the lieutenant general of the Shenwu Army, it was unknown how long he could be in the position of Jingzhao Shaoyin, let alone be promoted. Therefore, Wang Shou's attitude towards Qin Jin, in addition to awe, is also a little closer, and he regards him as his lucky star.
In fact, if you talk about rank, Jing Zhaoyin, as the governor of Gyeonggi and a high-ranking official from the third grade, is far higher than a Zhonglang general in Qin and Jin, so there is no need to deliberately stammer with Qin Jin. But it is precisely for the above reasons that Wang Shou's attitude towards Qin Jin is very courteous.
After spreading his hands, Wang Shou hung his head and said that he was the end of Jing Zhaoyin.
Qin Jin secretly smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that he was here to ask for help, but he didn't want Jingzhao Yin Wangshou to be even more pessimistic than himself, and his heart suddenly became half cold. But it was still because of the other party's face, and comforted him.
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so you don't have to worry too much!"
Wang Shou sighed, "General Zhonglang is right, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and before the last moment, everything has not yet been decided!" He has always regarded Qin Jin as his lucky star, and subconsciously regarded Qin Jin's arrival as a heavenly help in the underworld.
In an instant, his emotions reversed and he had confidence again.
"Someone!"
"What do you command?"
Wang Shou said to the servant who came forward to ask for instructions: "Go and call Gan Yi!"
The servant left as promised, and Wang Shou turned his head to Qin Jin and said, "Gan Yiqi has been working in Jingzhao Mansion for more than 20 years and has rich experience in all kinds of criminal cases. It's better to be in charge of the case of General Zhonglang with this person, presumably with him, your lady may be able to return home safely before sunrise!"
Qin Jin will be suspicious, and if this Gan Yi has such ability, why should you be anxious?
Wang Shou seemed to see Qin Jin's doubts, so he explained: "It's not that Wang is boasting, although this Gan Yi is a cheap servant, he is quite famous in Jingzhao Mansion, and more importantly, this person can be regarded as a well-known figure among the people of Chang'an, but in all aspects that the government can't reach, as long as he is there, he will definitely get rid of the disease!" When Li Linfu was still in the phase, there was a series of strange cases of night rape, I don't know how many good women of the family were tragically harmed, for a time the city was full of wind and rain, and the family was in danger, and even spread to the saint in front of the car, seeing that Jing Zhaoyin was about to dismiss the official and take office, thanks to this person who bought the news and captured the thief in one fell swoop. Since then, all successive Jing Zhaoyin have valued this person!" The implication is that he is no exception!
Saying that, Wang Shou sighed again, "It's a pity that there is an end of manpower." Gan Yi has not been able to find any clues in these thorny cases recently, which is really strange! But in the case of the lady of your mansion, maybe he will be able to find out the reason!"
Qin Jin understood that Gan Yi was a black-and-white character, an intermediate role in communicating between the people and the government. You can't underestimate this kind of intermediate character, maybe the safety of Fan Su will fall on this person.
After another moment, a stocky man with a short figure came to the main hall of Jingzhao Mansion.
"Gan Yi meets the envoy!"
Wang Shou's voice was very easygoing.
"This is the lieutenant general of the Shenwu Army, there are people missing in the house, and we still have to investigate!"
At first glance, when he heard that the lieutenant general of the Shenwu Army, Gan Yi was stunned for a moment, and asked again:
"But the lieutenant general who came from Xin'an and burned down the mountain?"
Gan Yi was so out of shape that Wang Shou immediately tightened his eyebrows, although he valued this person, it didn't mean that he would let him be rude in court.
Qin Jin smiled indifferently: "It's Qin!"
