The content on the letterhead made Da He's whole person scorched in place as if he had been struck by lightning.

Xiao He glanced at the letter anxiously, and saw a line of words written crookedly on the letter.

- "Your young lady is in our hands, if you don't want her to be injured in the slightest, we will prepare a thousand taels of silver, and send it to the Jizo King Temple on the outskirts of the city before the time of today, if the time of the child is over, and the silver cannot be received, so wait for her to collect the body!"

Jizo Temple!

Xiao He's face turned pale, the suburbs of the city have never heard of any Jizo Wang Temple, but there is a temple that has been broken for an unknown number of years, since I can remember, there have been several murders in that broken temple, and there are rumors that the temple is still haunted, so it is becoming more and more uninhabited, could it be that Sister Zhen was detained near the broken temple? But there are no people nearby, only a large area of mass graves!

She looked down at the letterhead again, and her brow furrowed even tighter.

There is not even a payment on the top, only an address, and the export will cost so much silver, a thousand taels of silver, which is the expense of a family for several years, which is given to them these eunuchs, if it is given to a flat-headed people, a thousand taels of silver, I am afraid that they can live a good life.

And the person who wrote this letter obviously didn't know many words, several words were still wrong, and the handwriting was also crooked, so that Xiao He had to worry, wasn't he robbed by those subordinates, how could this be done, Sister Zhen'er was a good lady, just disappeared in plain water, or was taken away by such an inferior person, if something happened, how to explain to the Fuguo Mansion?

Even if nothing happens, if you get along with a few reckless men for a night like this, I'm afraid that the reputation of chastity will be gone, how can you not make the eldest sister anxious?

Xiao He suddenly felt a little anxious at this time, she didn't know how to comfort her sister, and she didn't know how to redeem Sister Zhen'er, I was afraid that it was a dilemma.

And Mrs. Lu of the Da He family came back to her senses for a long time, and the tears in her eyes crackled and fell, but she didn't say anything like "my poor sister Zhen'er" anymore, she seemed to have made up her mind, and while wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she raised her voice and commanded her subordinates:

"Cover this matter to the death, no one is allowed to say it, if you let me know who this matter is out of someone's mouth, don't blame me for being ruthless, sell it all!"

When such a thing happened, the subordinates naturally didn't dare to say much, and they all trembled and responded.

Xiao He looked at Da He worriedly, "Sister, what can I do about this matter? It's not good to let Sister Zhen and a girl be out like this, I have to take my sister back and make plans!"

"I want to take it back, but I can't pick it up so publicly," Da He wiped away his tears, and there was already a decisive meaning in his eyes: "No matter what these people want to do, they can't go beyond the master, our Lu family is not so easy to bully, since we dare to tie up my sister and ask for ransom, we have to bear the consequences!"

Xiao He didn't know what Big He was going to do, but she always felt that she was going to eat people.

However, Da He made up his mind, and said that Ming'er was the day when the bride recognized her relatives, and urged Xiao He not to delay in the house for too long, so as not to delay the business tomorrow morning.

Xiao He saw that his eldest sister had already measured it, and knew that he couldn't help much, so he had to nod his head in response.

On the second day, Xiao He was at Xia's house, drinking tea while holding a tea cup, and talking to the people beside him, always feeling panicked.

Chanyi and Chu Shaoyuan, as sisters and brothers-in-law, naturally came over early on the day when the bride recognized their relatives, and just after saying a few words to Xie and Xiao He, Chanyi found that Xiao He's preoccupied appearance was very different from the cool appearance of the day before, and couldn't help but ask with more concern: "Aunt Seven, didn't you sleep well? Why is her face so pale?"

Xiao He has been taking this matter to heart, so he tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep much, and when he got up today, he felt that his spirit was not very good, and he saw Chanyi caring about her so much, so he had to say hesitantly: "I really didn't sleep well yesterday, and I have been thinking about Zhen ......."

When she said this, she paused hurriedly, her sister had told her not to say it, she was always not good to show it, but when she looked up at Chan Yi and looked at her with clear eyes, her eyes were full of concern, and she didn't know what to say, so she had to purse her lips and look at Chan Yi with some hesitation.

True?

Chanyi frowned, what is it?

Seeing that Xiao He's appearance was a little difficult to speak, she couldn't help but lower her voice and said softly: "It's me who is abrupt, is there anything unspeakable about Aunt Qi?"

Xiao He hesitated, feeling that Chanyi was not an outsider, and there was such a powerful niece and son-in-law, who might be able to help him, so he told Chanyi a few words about the truth.

Chanyi was shocked when she heard the news of Lu Yanzhen's disappearance, you must know that this era is extremely harsh for women, Lu Yanzhen is such a big living person, she has disappeared for a day and a night, even if she finds it, she will be disliked by her husband's family, besides, her husband's family is not an ordinary person, it is still Dayan's clan.

I just don't know if the robbers are simply seeking money, or if there is someone behind them.

In such an eventful autumn, any slightest disturbance may be directed at Chu Shaoyuan, under such consideration, Chan Yi frowned.

She looked at Xiao He in amazement, trying to suppress the doubts in her heart.

It wasn't until Xie Feiyun confessed his relatives and had a banquet that Chan Yi told Chu Shaoyuan about it with a lot of thought on the carriage home.

Chu Shaoyuan paid attention to Chan Yi from time to time, and knew that after Chan Yi had spoken to Xiao He, the bright look in his eyes fell, and he was still a little puzzled, I don't know what it was for, but when he heard such words at this moment, he was also surprised, and then pondered.

After a while, he shook Chanyi's hand lightly, "If this matter is according to Aunt Seven, presumably Lu Shangshu has already arranged it, but I don't know if there is someone behind this matter, but it doesn't matter, since they dare to put forward conditions to Lu Shangshu, presumably Miss Lu should be fine, as long as this matter is covered and not let people know, it will not have any impact on the Lu family and the Fuguo family, you can rest assured, I will order someone to seal the news when I go back, and it will be fine." ”

Chanyi nodded and took his hand, as if she was a little scared.

Chu Shaoyuan took her into his arms and said softly: "In the future, you go out and bring a few more maids, Jinxin must not leave you, her fists and feet are not a problem to deal with a few strong men, I will let Yu Qiufeng find some grandmothers who understand martial arts for ......you" After thinking about it, he felt that the people there in Yuqiufeng would only kill people, and how to protect people was still a problem, so he felt that it was inappropriate, so he turned his mouth again, "Or I will allocate a small team of Yan Yunwei to you." ”

Chanyi was amused by his nervous tone, "Don't listen to the wind and rain, Miss Lu will be exploited because she doesn't pay attention, every time I go out, there are always more than a dozen people in front of me, and then bring a small team of Yan Yunwei, what will it look like? Not to mention how can I have so much time to go out on weekdays? I don't even go back to my mother's house often, where can I use Yan Yunwei, it's better to stay by your side, look at you, every time I come back, I am injured, how can I reduce the guards around me?"

As the two of them spoke, they went off to the side of the matter.

Chan Yi knew in her heart that Chu Shaoyuan didn't want her to worry too much, these days she is like a frightened bird, she can't help but think about any news, he always says that she is too worried, but she thinks it's not so simple.

Chanyi's bad premonition was confirmed in the afternoon of the same day.

The Lu family spread the news that Miss Lu was kidnapped by thieves, and Miss Lu killed herself with a golden hairpin because she did not yield to the thief Kou Ling.

This news almost caused a sensation in the families of Yunfu City, at first glance I heard that the young lady of the family was able to be hijacked by thieves in the city, and the ladies of the families did not dare to go out at will.

Next, I heard that Lu Shangshu had arrested the thief and wrote down the matter.

Emperor Wen was also very angry when he heard about this, and ordered the Criminal Department to strictly interrogate the criminals, and he must handle this case well.

As soon as this incident came out, the ladies and wives of the family in Yunfu City breathed a sigh of relief, and they all said that the eldest lady of the Lu family was pitiful, and that she had a backbone.

For a while, rumors were flying all over the sky.

But the Lu family is a mess at the moment.

The robber was indeed captured by Lu Shangshu Lu Zhengming, but Lu Yanzhen did not kill herself as rumored, when she was rescued, because she stabbed her throat with a golden hairpin, her body was dripping with blood, especially the wound on her neck was even more terrifying, and the whole person was indeed almost out of breath, so it was misreported, saying that she died by suicide, but in fact, she was just in a coma.

And she has suffered such a great sin, since she is not dead, she must be rescued before she can ask the reason.

So the Lu family invited many doctors, but after the doctors saw the injury, they all shook their heads, saying that although Miss Lu's life could be saved, she was afraid that she would not be able to speak in the future, because the golden hairpin was too deep, and her throat had been pierced hoarsely, and she was also disabled after she recovered.

After hearing this, Da He almost fainted, even Lu Zhengming, a person who has been an official for decades, can hardly stand.

Lu Yanzhen had a fever that night, and she didn't wake up for several days in a groggy state.

As a relative, Xiao He's family rushed to Lu's house on the same day, and stayed by Da He's side, for fear that his eldest sister would do something stupid.

After Chanyi knew, she picked up a lot of rare medicinal materials from the warehouse and sent them to the Lu family, she had a good impression of Lu Yanzhen, a little lady, and now that she had suffered such a disaster, I just hope that she can wake up sooner.

As for the Criminal Department, because Lu Zhengming is the secretary of the Criminal Department, the big and small cases of the Criminal Department are tried by him, but because this case involves his own family, Emperor Wen deliberately asked him to assist on the side, and did not directly let him take charge of the case, but sent the King of Guangning to take charge of the case.
