Chapter 282: The Strange Disappearance of the Prince
Besides, he didn't return all night, and the family was not worried, thinking that he was outside and drinking and chatting with Wenbin and them all night. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The next morning, Ji Wu picked up an envelope in front of the door, and he didn't know how to read, so he brought it in and showed it to Xiao Nier. Xiao Nier opened the envelope, and a rough piece of window paper fell out of it, on which were a few lines written in cinnabar:
In addition, Gongzi is in our hands, take the silver ticket of Jingtong Silver to ransom people, and if there is no silver, we will wait to collect the corpse.
Xiao Nier froze for the first time, and suddenly didn't understand the meaning of these words, but when she read it again, she screamed "ah".
Xiaojun heard the scream and ran over quickly, but saw that Liu's mother was supporting Xiao Nier, who was trembling, and was comforting her.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Jun was surprised.
"Oh no, Childe was kidnapped by a strongman." Liu's mother was holding a piece of paper in her hand, and her body was trembling.
"What, show me." Jun took the paper and looked at it, and suddenly laughed.
"You...... What are you laughing at, it's not going to be a joke on your part, is it? Xiao Nier was enraged by his laughter, but her body stopped shaking, and she looked at him with fire in her eyes.
"Why am I making such a joke, you don't understand what I mean, I was trying to say it's funny." The more Xiao Jun looked at the paper, the more he couldn't help laughing.
"Childe was kidnapped, you still think it's funny, who are you?" Liu's mother was also angry.
"It's just that he's not human. You made it clear, are you the hell? Xiao Nier stepped forward and grabbed Jun's collar and asked.
Xiaojun hurriedly raised his hands high: "Don't get me wrong, it's really not me who did it, and I don't know who did it, but this joke is a little too clumsy, no matter who this person is, he will be unlucky." Xiao Jun said with a restrained smile and a stern expression.
Xiao Nier was confused: "You are saying that this is not true, someone is joking with us." Is that right? ”
Xiaojun said categorically: "Of course, besides, my brother will not be kidnapped, and there is no such person in Suzhou City." ”
He snorted coldly in his heart: What are you kidding, kidnapping Besides, their masters of the Empty Dao Gate have not been able to succeed, can there be a better person in Suzhou City than their Empty Dao Gate, how is this possible? No way!
Listening to his words, Xiao Nier and Liu's mother recited Amitabha Buddha directly, at this time, Xiao Nier was grateful to Xiaojun again, no matter what, his words are auspicious words, I hope what he said is true.
"Sister Xiao, you still send someone to ask where your brother frequents, see where he is, and ask him to come back quickly, so that you can know who is joking with him." Xiao Jun suddenly thought about it, and felt that this matter might not be as simple as he thought.
"It's just that if I can't see his figure, I can't make up my mind."
Xiao Nier asked Ji Wu to hurry up to Zhou's house to find Wenbin, and Liu's mother to go to Chen's house to find Miss Pomegranate to find out if they had spent the night in these two houses.
Half an hour later, Zhou Dingcheng came back in a hurry, and when he saw Xiaojun, he was taken aback, and shouted, "Why are you here, little bastard?!" ”
Xiaojun sat on the chair and said in a big way: "Lord Zhou, how can you speak, I am my brother's guest, is it strange here?" By the way, Lord Zhou, I'm looking for you. ”
Zhou Dingcheng asked angrily: "Don't pretend for me, what can you do with me?" ”
"I remember that you were also in Fengyang at the beginning, what happened at that time, I can't remember clearly, and my brother can't remember clearly, so I want to find a pair of people who were present at the time, maybe I can figure out what happened." Jun said very seriously.
"Get out! Uncle Ben didn't have time to take care of you. Besides, did he come back? Zhou Dingcheng heard Ji Wu in Zhou's mansion that he had received a note that he had been kidnapped, although he didn't think it was possible, so he hurried over.
Xiao Nier's hands were still trembling, and she replied on the side: "No, I asked Mother Liu to hurry up and ask, get her money to hire a sedan chair, she didn't worry about the money, and walked." ”
"Don't worry, besides, my brother is very capable, no one can kidnap him." Zhou Dingcheng said this in his mouth, but he didn't have much support in his heart after all.
Zhou Dingcheng knew that the people of the Empty Dao Gate, as well as the people of the Ancestor Protector Sect, went to Suzhou City before and after, in order to find out what happened to their missing big people. But at this time, he was kidnapped, and maybe something really went wrong.
"When you both say this, I feel better, but when I can't see him, I panic and can't wait for a moment." Xiao Nier said with a pale face.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Pomegranate come in with two maid rings, glanced into the room, and saw that there was no matter, and just wanted to ask a question, suddenly her head buzzed, she almost fell, and hurriedly held on to the chair.
When Xiaojun saw the pomegranate, he hurriedly stood up. Although Pomegranate was anxious and frightened when he entered the house, that temperament still made people dare not look directly.
"Sister Pomegranate, he's not in your house?" When Xiao Nier saw her look, she became even more alarmed.
"I ...... I was with Sisi yesterday and wasn't at home. But they won't stay overnight in my house. "Pomegranate knows Chen Musa's personality best, and no one can drink wine in Chen's mansion overnight, not even the emperor. Having fun at night is definitely a great evil that physicists criticize and write.
"By the way, will it be in the prefect's yamen, where Master Lian is?" Zhou Dingcheng suddenly thought and shouted loudly.
Pomegranate said: "I sent someone to ask, Wen Bin didn't come back last night, his family has already sent someone to the yamen." ”
It turned out that Mother Liu really hired a carriage to go to Chen's Mansion when she went out, saying that she had an urgent matter to find Miss Pomegranate, and she replied that Miss had spent the night at Yun's house. Liu's mother asked if Gongzi was here, and replied no.
Liu's mother panicked and directly asked to see Master Chen, saying that she had been kidnapped.
After Chen Musa heard about it, he hurriedly came out to see Liu's mother, and he was quite shocked, and he didn't know what to do for a while. Hearing the news, the little prince who rushed out hurriedly persuaded: "Teacher, don't worry, if it is really a kidnapping, it is not a big deal, the junior brother has almost been curfew after he went out yesterday, and the kidnappers will definitely not be able to get out of the city, and now that the city gate has just opened, I will immediately send someone to all the city gates to guard it, and check it one person at a time." "People or cars that have already gone out will also find out.
The little prince immediately called the Chinese army in the palace and ordered him to send someone to inform the prince and the master of Lian, and at the same time take everyone to strictly check all the people and chariots and horses who went out of the city.
A moment later, the sound of horses' hooves swept from Chen's mansion to the city gates on all sides.
"This ...... How could such a thing happen, this is Suzhou City. Chen Musawu said in disbelief.
"I think so, could it be the ghost of Du Yushi?" The little prince frowned.
"What do you mean by that?" Chen Musa usually doesn't think about those evil thoughts.
"Oh, the student just suddenly thought like this, the kidnapper asked for 100,000 taels of silver, but how could the junior brother's family have so many taels of silver, he was just alone. The kidnappers pointed out that they wanted 100,000 taels, which should have something to do with the robberies of the Nan family, so the students guessed that someone wanted to frame the junior brother and associate the junior brother with those robberies. If the junior brother takes out a silver ticket of 100,000 taels of silver, he will be convicted of the crime, and Master Lian may be implicated by the bandits. Isn't this exactly what the Imperial History wants? ”
"That's right, how can they be so vicious?" Chen Musa nodded secretly.
"It's not that the teacher didn't think about it, but he didn't want to think about it, the teacher treats everyone as a saint, but it's a pity that there are too many people in this world who are not as good as beasts." The words of the little prince are very pertinent, and this is indeed the case.
"Well, if that's the case, this Lord will be on death row for the rest of his life, I swear to God." Chen Musa gritted his teeth and said.
He was really angry, for more than ten years, he was angry and angry, and he never resented anyone, of course, this is also because everyone respected him, and no one dared to mess with him. Today, he was furious.
"The teacher is angry, this is just the student's conjecture, and we will have to wait until we find the junior brother to figure it out."
Not long after, Wei Guogong and Lian Daning, who were sitting in the prefect's yamen, also received a report, and they were also shocked. Especially Lian Daning, who is looking for him in the imperial history at the moment, is holding a magnifying glass to pick bones in the egg, at this juncture, he was kidnapped, and he also asked for a ransom of 100,000 taels of silver.
100,000 taels of silver was a local tyrant at that time, and it was not a local tyrant in the general sense, but the level of a real billionaire in later generations. The entire family property of the Zhou family is about 1.8 million taels of silver, and this is still the real estate of the garden-style mansion.
Therefore, both Wei Guogong and Lian Daning felt that this was definitely not a simple kidnapping case, it was clearly another plan, and the mastermind behind the scenes faintly pointed to Du Yushi.
"Lord Fang is so vicious, even if you want to practice a certain head, you don't have to be like this." Lian Daning let out a long sigh.
"It's too early to tell, let's wait until we find out what happens."
Wei Guogong was even more straightforward, and increased the number of people guarding the city gates by five times at once, that is, all the chariots and horses leaving the city had to be checked one by one, and they were registered one by one. Those who had already left the city before were also immediately chased back to find out if they might be involved in the kidnapping case.
This is not difficult to do, there are not many people who go out of the city in the morning, and it is the businessmen who come and go, and the veterans guarding the city gate know and remember almost all of them.
If it is according to Lian Daning's intentions, directly close all the city gates, and then search the whole city from house to house, and dig three feet into the ground to find the situation back.
Wei Guogong didn't want to do this, he meant to adopt a loose and dark method to prevent the kidnappers from jumping over the wall and tearing up the ticket. Of course, the opinions of Wei Guogong shall prevail.
I heard that there were kidnappers in the city, and everyone in the city was in danger, so they closed their gates tightly, refused to accept foreign guests, and even the bodyguards at home walked around the courtyard, and the entire upper class of Suzhou City was like a great enemy.
