Chapter 58

Feng Jizhong immediately got up.

I was a little worried, his wife Jia Dun left with Qin Ye's brothers and sisters, and he didn't bring a letter after that, saying that Feng Jizhong was not worried and it was impossible, he also sent a letter over, but he never got a reply.

After some greetings, Feng Jizhong couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Qin, but what happened to Humble Jing?" ”

Qin Ye smiled and comforted, and said, "Lord Feng, don't worry, Mrs. Zun and her sister are now living in Lin Wenye's mansion, and they are all right." ”

"Clumsy Jing ......" Feng Jizhong couldn't bear to say the words without a lease, and said, "She doesn't have a home to go to her brother-in-law's house?" ”

Qin Ye smiled, and did not pierce the cowardice of the couple, and said, "Mrs. Zun likes her sister, so she will stay for a while." ”

After speaking, Qin Ye was in a hurry to get down to business, so he handed the letter from Jia Zheng in his arms to Feng Jizhong's desk.

When he opened Jia Zheng's letter, Feng Jizhong was shocked, his brother-in-law taught himself a few words in the letter.

Feng Jizhong wondered in his heart, could it be that the Jia family got any faith? Or is it not good for Rong Guogong to say it in person, so he sent Jia Zheng to knock on the side?

At this time, Feng Jizhong began to worry, how to tell his mother about this? With that, the mother may agree to take her back, but the mother will hate her even more.

Qin Ye saw Feng Jizhong put down the letter, so he asked, "Lord Feng, I don't know if Zhu'er is still in Ping'an County?" ”

Feng Jizhong also straightened up and said: "Zhu'er was originally married with Clumsy Jing, and now she is still in Ping'an County, and now she is ...... It is said that she is the daughter-in-law of the younger brother of the lower official. ”

"I see, it's too much of a coincidence!" Qin Ye was a little surprised by the surprise on his face, this pearl was actually Mrs. Feng's dowry girl, after thinking for a moment, Qin Ye asked, "Can you invite her out to see her?" I would like to thank you personally. ”

"Mr. Qin doesn't have to be polite, if it was really Zhu'er who saved your life back then, it would be her compassion for a while, but it was just a gesture, and I don't deserve your heavy thanks!" Feng Jizhong thought in his mind, he was afraid that he would have to discuss this matter with Old Madam Feng first, so as not to go back to what the old man said.

Qin Ye saw that Feng Jizhong was a little hesitant, so he said: "Maybe it's abrupt, but the prince has an order before he comes, and he must serve Xie Yi in person, and he doesn't dare to disobey it!" ”

Feng Jizhong nodded, Jia Zheng also wrote clearly in the letter, this person is the prince's disciple, it is said that he is also quite respected, and he is Lin Zhanshi's senior brother, and the Jia family has to help face, let alone him.

At the moment, he said: "It's better to ask Mr. Qin to stay in Jiaxing, and the lower official will send someone to Ping'an County as soon as possible to arrange for Zhu'er to meet you." ”

Qin Ye resigned with a smile and said, "It's good to be here, just ask Master Feng to write a letter, and I can go to Ping'an County." ”

Who knows that by chance, someone from outside came to spread the word at this time, and the old lady came to see him, and brought his concubine Zhou and his second son, and his cousin's family also came with him.

Qin Ye's eyes lit up, and he couldn't say that this Zhu'er might be Feng Yu'er's mother.

However, he is also courteous, he is looking for a benefactor, not a relative, and he should not be too eager.

"It's really a coincidence, I'll wait for Mrs. Feng to rest and recuperate, and then visit the house!"

Feng Jizhong also wanted to talk to his mother in advance, and nodded.

Personally sent people out of the mansion, Feng Jizhong hurriedly returned to the inner house and went to the old lady Feng who had already arrived in the upper room.

At this time, Mrs. Feng was leaning on the couch, tasting the fruit, while letting the little maid beat her legs, seeing Feng Jizhong coming in, Mrs. Feng asked with a smile: "Son, why did this son come here?" ”

"My son has something to report to his mother." Feng Jizhong walked up to Old Madam Feng, and then told Qin Ye about wanting to see Zhu'er.

When Mrs. Feng heard this, she was overjoyed, and instructed the little maid: "Go, call your uncle and grandmother over." ”

After a while, two women came in one after the other, and when they saw that Feng Jizhong was also there, they all came up to salute.

The one who walked in front said with a smile: "Just now I and Zhu'er were touching small cards, I heard that the old lady came to look for her, I was not convinced, eighty percent of your old man got good things, and wanted to stuff Zhu'er, this is not me to follow, but look at the old man is also there, I put my mind at ease, I must have done something to Zhu'er!" ”

"You girl, just this mouth, is getting more and more playful!" Old Madam Feng pointed at the woman and said, "Since you are here, you will listen to it." ”

Feng Jizhong saw it, got bored, and said, "Zhou, it's none of your business here, go down first!" ”

It turned out that the woman was Feng Jizhong's concubine Zhou, who was also his cousin.

Old Madam Feng was not happy at this time, and spoke: "Let Ah Bao and his mother listen, after all, it is her brother's daughter-in-law's business." ”

Feng Jizhong could only shut up, thinking that his brother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in his mother's house, and it was not appropriate for him to stay here all the time, so he said and left.

Seeing Feng Jizhong walking away, Mrs. Feng gave a keynote speech, and when Zhu'er heard Mrs. Feng say that someone came to Ping'an County on purpose, just to thank her for saving her life, she couldn't help laughing, and said: "Auntie, this is a joke, I have a couple of silver in my hand, and I went to buy rouge gouache earlier, who has the leisure to help a scholar!" ”

Zhou teased on the side: "Don't be Zhu'er's previous little love, this time people are still thinking of you, so they found an excuse to kidnap you!" ”

"My sister's mouth is unforgiving, the conscience of heaven and earth, I grew up in the Guogong Mansion since I was a child, and I haven't been out of the door a few times, I came to Ping'an County at the age of thirteen or fourteen, if it is not rude, how can I marry your Zhou family," Zhu'er pursed the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, "Since people come to us, it doesn't hurt to see them, and if you know that people are mistaken, you will also die." ”

Old Madam Feng said: "The one who came to look for him is the prince's person, and he came with a letter from the second master of Jiafuzheng, and I heard that even your own mother was shocked, and I decided that it was you, Zhu'er, why don't you think about it, is it too old to forget it?" ”

"I really have to think about it," Zhu'er rolled her eyes, "Speaking of Xie, that person can't be empty-handed, right?" ”

"Scraper!" Old Madam Feng said with a smile: "It is said that Xie Yi is three hundred taels, although it is not much, but I heard what Jizhong said just now, this money was actually paid by the prince." ”

Zhou clapped his hands and hurriedly said: "My God, this is needless to say, this matter must have been done by Zhu'er's kindness, and he was young at that time, so he didn't remember it." ”

"I said Zhu'er, you can seize this opportunity," Old Madam Feng leaned her head over and said: "After winning the reward of the prince, there is a light on your face, and you will make a note in the family tree when you go back, and your portrait will not be able to be hung in the ancestral hall one day." ”

"I've got it done." Zhu'er's eyes were bright, and she said, "Look at the two of you! ”

The shopkeeper of the Xiangming Tea House in Jiaxing Mansion was born with a good eye, and when he saw Qin Ye coming in from outside, he stepped forward with a smile and said, "This master has been to the small shop, and I see that you are very familiar." ”

Qin Ye arched his hand: "The shopkeeper has good eyesight, I went to Jinling a few days ago to have a heavy rain, and I was sheltering from the rain in your store." ”

"Remember, remember," the shopkeeper smiled and ushered Qin Ye to the seat, and said, "I didn't expect you to be a regular customer, please take care of business in the future." ”

After arranging Qin Ye, the shopkeeper ordered someone to serve tea, and went to work on himself, Qin Ye still sat in the seat from the previous time, drinking tea while looking at the surrounding scene curiously.

I didn't expect to see this look, I really saw a novelty, it turned out that a lot of people gathered on the street, these people first discussed together for a long time, and then walked in a certain direction together.

Qin Ye asked Xiao Er next to him to refill his tea, and asked, "Little brother, what's going on?" ”

Xiao Er looked outside and said: "Ping'an County, which is under the jurisdiction of this government, just caught two kidnappers a few days ago, and the county magistrate didn't care, and a person brought the people to the government, because now the general judgment in charge of this matter is from Ping'an County, they are angry, and they also reported hope, and they jointly signed a letter at this time, asking for severe punishment." ”

"Could it be that there are often children lost in Ping'an County, Jiaxing Prefecture?" Qin Ye's heart moved, and he asked deliberately.

"Don't talk about it," Xiao Er sighed: "There are not ten or eight children who have lost in the past ten years, but this is the first time that I have caught a kidnapper and gone to the government office." ”

Qin Ye nodded.

It seems that this time, it is likely that you really found the right one.

***

Early the next morning, someone came over to look for Qin Ye, saying that Master Feng had an invitation.

This time, I went to the inner hall of the General Judgment Mansion, but in addition to Feng Jizhong, there was also an old woman, but no one needed to introduce her, Qin Ye immediately guessed the identity of the old woman, and after Feng Jizhong introduced it, sure enough, it was Mrs. Feng.

Smiled and greeted Qin Ye, and then Mrs. Feng said: "I bother Mr. Qin to run a trip, this Zhu'er is the old nephew and daughter-in-law, and the old man asked her yesterday, but he said that he couldn't remember it, and he didn't think he took it to heart." ”

"The old lady is too polite, Miss Zhu'er is in Xia Grace and Reconstruction, even a little thanks, and she can't express her gratitude," Qin Ye arched his hand, "I also asked the old lady to fulfill it, and I am looking forward to thanking Miss Zhu'er in person." ”

Old Madam Feng ordered at this time: "Please come over." ”

After a while, a young woman walked in, and Old Madam Feng introduced her: "Mr. Qin, this is Zhu'er, and her husband's surname is Zhou." ”

Seeing the person coming, Qin Ye was stunned, this woman is afraid that she is less than thirty years old, and she can never be Feng Yuer's mother, but why is this hairpin actually hers?

After turning his mind, Qin Ye stepped forward with a smile and said, "In Xia Qin Ye, after searching for many years, I finally met my benefactor." ”

Zhu'er returned the salute, and pretended to be ashamed: "Don't hide it, sir, the concubine really doesn't remember the events of that day." ”

"Okay," Qin Ye took out the enamel silver hairpin from his arms, handed it to Zhu'er, and asked, "May I ask Mrs. Zhou, this hairpin is yours?" ”

Zhu'er's face changed suddenly, she snatched the hairpin, stared at Qin Ye and blurted out, "Where did you find it?" ”

This is really rude, Feng Jizhong was just about to teach a lesson, but Qin Yeman didn't care, and replied: "Five years ago, it was in Jinling." ”

Pearls seemed relieved, five years ago, it wasn't...... It is estimated that the kidnapper saw the hairpin in the little girl's hand and then took it away and sold it, and the person who was bought took it and saved the person, at the moment, she quickly replied with a smile: "This is a gift from my mother, and the concubine is ready to cherish it, but I accidentally lost it, but I didn't expect to lose it today, and I can't help but be happy." ”

"Mrs. Zhou are sure that you lost this hairpin?" Qin Ye asked.

"What, do you think I'm going to blackmail your Xie Yi?" Zhu'er was a little unhappy, and handed the hairpin to Qin Ye's eyes, "I thought that the claws of this silver hairpin were not done well that day, and I pulled my hair a little, so I specially asked the craftsman to help round it, can you take a look?" ”

"Mrs. Zhou, don't misunderstand," Qin Ye said with a smile: "I don't know why Mrs. Zhou came to Jinling that day?" ”

Zhu'er said: "Jinling is my mother's home, and it is not surprising to go back from time to time!" ”

"Indeed, indeed!" Qin Ye nodded, "Did you see it under the tree in the tower garden in the south of the city?" ”

"Exactly," Zhu'er looked displeased, "Could it be that Mr. doesn't believe me, it's just that I don't care about your three hundred taels, please forgive the concubine and retire." ”

Qin Ye hurriedly stopped, "Mrs. Zhou doesn't need to be surprised, she is just too excited, and she can't help but recall the scene of that day." ”

"How do I remember all this time?" Zhu'er yelled angrily.

On the side, Feng Duanzhong couldn't help coughing, and when Mrs. Feng saw Zhu'er like that, she knew that she couldn't make it up, so she was busy playing a round, "Mr. Qin also asked more carefully, Zhu'er is not allowed to worry." ”

At this time, Qin Ye took out the silver ticket from his arms with a smile and said, "In this case, just Xie Yi will ask Mrs. Zhou to accept it!" ”

Zhu'er's eyes lit up, and she took a few steps forward, and wanted to pull the silver ticket out of Qin Ye's hand, but when she got closer, she paused pretending to be reserved, pulled the silver ticket over, and then Fu Fu pulled her legs and left, not even the hairpin that she "cherished" much.

With such a rude relative, Feng Jizhong also felt embarrassed on his face, only because his wife was still present, he didn't dare to say anything to Qin Ye, so he could only give people a look and express his apologies.

Seeing that the silver was in hand, Mrs. Feng couldn't help but die of joy in her heart, thinking about the autumn wind that hurried back to play beads, so she lazily took care of this Mr. Qin again, and after a few sentences, she found an excuse to go out of the inner hall.

"Mr. Qin, my relatives are vulgar," Feng Jizhong sighed: "The family style is not strict, let you see the joke!" ”

Qin Ye hurriedly comforted him and said, "Lord Feng doesn't have to care, Mrs. Zhou is very straightforward, but I didn't expect that she actually came to marry with Mrs. Zun." ”

"Zhu'er is four years younger than my wife, and she is very good at pleasing her mother, and later she was married to her younger brother-in-law." Afraid that Qin Ye wouldn't understand, Feng Jizhong also deliberately explained: "It's not clumsy, it's my mother and nephew, and now they have been married for almost ten years." ”

Qin Ye is even more sure, Feng Yu'er is all in time, naturally it can't be born from this pearl.

sighed in his heart, but he was sure that the hairpin, then it must be related to Zhu'er, so he got up and said: "Since I have repaid the life-saving grace of the year, I should also say goodbye in the future, there are many troubles these days, Lord Feng." ”

"Mr. Qin might as well stay for two more days," Feng Jizhong warmly invited: "Let me also do some landlord friendship in the next place." ”

"There is this intention in the next, the scenery of Jiaxing Mansion is very good, the last time I hurried over and did not get all the time, now I have a heart, I must enjoy the beautiful scenery in the next place." Qin Ye responded in his mouth, but he was thinking in his heart, the owner of this silver hairpin is Zhu'er, and Zhu'er has always been in Ping'an County, plus there is also the lotus pond mentioned by Feng Yu'er here, it is almost certain that Feng Yu'er is from Ping'an County, and it seems that the truth is close at hand. After a little more temptation, he had to go to Ping'an County.

Seeing that Qin Ye was leaving, Feng Jizhong also got up to see off the guests, and said, "In this case, I will prepare a little water and wine tomorrow, can I invite Mr. Qin to appreciate his face?" ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey!" Qin Ye arched his hand and walked out with Feng Jizhong.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the door opened, a large group of people "hula" rushed up, and they actually surrounded Feng Jizhong and Qin Ye.

Feng Jizhong immediately understood who was here.

"Folks, the official of this abduction case is checking the file, everyone should be calm," Feng Jizhong obviously knew the people's intentions, "Don't be in a hurry." ”

At this time, a white-haired old man stepped forward and said: "Lord Feng, when the people caught the kidnappers that day, they had already asked them to be a large group of people, which could not be delayed, and please start the trial as soon as possible, and inform the surrounding county governments to assist in the investigation, and catch other fish that slipped through the net, so that the parents who lost their children can find their children as soon as possible." ”

"Bai Juren, it's you gathering big guys to make trouble again!" Seeing the old man, Feng Jizhong's face was a little displeased: "I said that you should go back and teach you well?" Why do you have to be demagogic here and find trouble with the government. ”

There was an uproar in the crowd, and someone whispered: "The master will only say a little restlessness, how long do we have to wait?" Those kidnappers are afraid that they have already received the letter and are hiding in all directions! ”

Feng Jizhong waved his arms and motioned for everyone to listen to him: "At present, the case is extremely complicated, even the two abductors in prison are only involved in attempted abduction, and there is no useful evidence to convict them. ”

Someone was in a hurry: "Evidence? When was a child abducted, but the bitter owner did not go to the county government to report the case? Here's the proof! My lord, those abductors are too hateful, the county government doesn't care, as the general judge of Jiaxing Mansion, and now you are suing on behalf of the prefect, you must make decisions for the people! ”

"It's still the same sentence, don't be impatient, and the official will find out the facts." In front of Qin Ye, Feng Jizhong didn't want to look too cowardly, so he put on a straight face and said: "You have been around the door of the government for the past few days, you should have talked about the staff, this official knows that you are enthusiastic and did not carry it out, today you actually gathered people to come to the door of the official's house, are you not afraid that the official will ask you a crime of disturbing the official?" Okay, this case will start trial in a few days, you don't have to wait here, what should you do, why do you go! ”

Bai Juren sighed, then waved his hand to everyone, everyone stopped making trouble, and then he walked up to Feng Jizhong and handed over a neatly folded piece of paper.

"Lord Feng, this is a rotten arrangement, the list of lost children in Ping'an County in the past ten years, please be sure to accept it for reference."

Feng Jizhong took it, and said that he glanced at the guards who came behind him, and asked them to come up and bombard people, and then he bowed his hand to Qin Ye and retreated to the yamen first.

Qin Ye saw this scene in his eyes, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, Feng Jizhong was really mediocre to the end, this kind of case related to the people's livelihood, he was not in a hurry, obviously he didn't think he was a parent official, no wonder he was so old, he had the name of Rongguo's son-in-law, but he was still just a small general sentence.

Feng Jizhong went back, but the people gathered outside the yamen refused to leave, and everyone was indignant.

Qin Ye stood for a while, and when he heard them talking about coming to petition tomorrow, he couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that when he encountered an official like Feng Jizhong, he was afraid that this trick would not work.

Thinking that he still had to continue to investigate Feng Yu'er's affairs, Qin Ye decided to go to the Xiangming Teahouse this time, there are many people coming and going from the south to the north, I am afraid that there will be some news.

As soon as the tea was brought to Qin Ye, the shopkeeper came over with a smile: "Guest officer, are you here again?" ”

Qin Ye nodded, and seemed to inquire very unintentionally: "The shopkeeper is quite indignant today, and he seems to be very familiar with Ping'an County?" ”

The shopkeeper nodded and sighed: "The little one was born in Ping'an County, and later came to live in Jiaxing Mansion." ”

"In the past 30 years, we have hardly stepped out of Jiaxing Mansion, and we have to go back to Ping'an County every year."

Qin Ye was very happy, and felt that he might be able to get something he wanted from this person, and said: "I don't know if the shopkeeper is empty, and I want to ask for advice on some things in Ping'an County." ”

Seeing that there were not many guests on the left and right, the shopkeeper simply sat opposite Qin Ye and said very boldly: "If the guest officer wants to ask about Ping'an County, you can be regarded as finding the right person. ”

Qin Ye smiled, took a silver ingot from his sleeve, and stuffed it into the shopkeeper's arms while no one was paying attention to him, and said, "A little meaning, not a respect!" ”

The shopkeeper was busy about to excuse himself, but was stopped by Qin Ye.

"I wonder what the guest wants to know?" The shopkeeper's face turned a little red, probably because he didn't expect the guest in front of him to be so generous, and before he could say a word, he gave the silver.

Qin Ye was not in a hurry, he casually quarreled with the shopkeeper, and said: "I heard that Ping'an County is really a rare rich place, I'm afraid there has never been any famine, right?" ”

"It's true, the wind and rain here have been smooth for many years, plus the people are simple, the people are all hardworking and willing to work, and I really haven't heard of anyone starving to death."

"Haven't you ever been a homeless or anything?"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "Even if there are homeless people, they also come from other places. ”

Qin Ye's heart moved, and he asked, "But it's often like this?" ”

The shopkeeper replied with a smile: "I have only made trouble once, and I heard that there are court officials who have made a bad move, encircled the land of the people in neighboring counties, and forced people to run out to beg for food."

"That's a good memory!" Qin Ye boasted, "It won't even happen in which year, the shopkeeper knows, right?" ”

"It's a coincidence, it's all because of the young marriage, so I remember it most clearly, and I heard that a lot of homeless people died."

This is related to the fact that Feng Yuer saw the homeless people when she was abducted.

Qin Ye thought about it again and asked, "I saw that the child lost something today, so ask again, do you remember the shopkeeper, did anyone lose a four or five-year-old girl that year?" ”

The shopkeeper lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and finally replied: "I really can't remember that this happened, but I remember that Lord Feng's family suffered a great disaster that year, and his eldest sister fell into the lotus pond and drowned. ”

"Are you sure it's the year?" Qin Ye suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Have you found the body of the eldest sister since then?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed: "The big guys also think it's strange, and later some people guessed that it might be that the little girl fell into the mud of the pond and sank directly to the bottom, but it's ......" The shopkeeper paused at this time.

"Do you think there's anything wrong?"

At this time, the shopkeeper came to Qin Ye and said: "Don't hide it from the guest officer, our lotus pond has also fallen down a lot of people over the years, the small one has saved one, and the one who drowned in a bad life can find the corpse, the small one has not figured out, how can a little girl with a small weight die without seeing the corpse, by the way, there are many people who are also quite puzzled." ”

Qin Ye asked in a low voice, "Is there anything strange in it?" ”

The shopkeeper looked left and right, and said: "In Ping'an County, although Feng Tongju is a nobleman, but he is also a notoriously confused person, the child died without fishing for the corpse, he ran to the lotus pond and cried for a day, and then went back and sealed the file, since the old man himself did not mention it, others naturally did not dare to care about this idle matter. ”

At this moment, Qin Ye's heart beat violently, and he felt as if something was right in front of him.

"I heard that the day the eldest sister of the Feng family was lost was the old lady's birthday, and the birthday banquet was on the edge of the lotus pond. According to common sense, the four or five-year-old eldest sister of the master's family lost her foot and died, which is not good with the maid next to her," the shopkeeper took a breath of cool air at this time, "Who would have thought, in less than a year, this girl actually married Zhou Bawang, that is, the nephew of Old Madam Feng, to make the main room!" ”

Qin Ye was not calm when he saw the hairpin in comparison with Zhu'er, and he already had seven points of certainty, and the remaining three points were also because this matter was very important and he had to be cautious.

"Then do you know the name of the eldest sister of the Feng family?" Qin Ye asked again.

"Others may not know, but I also went to salvage this eldest sister of the Feng family at the beginning, but I knew. The eldest sister has a good name, called Wanyu, Feng Wanyu. ”

Wan Yu, Yu, Yu.

Feng Yu'er said, this is her name, maybe when she was a child, she was always called Yu'er Yu'er at home, and she thought she was Yu'er.

But I didn't know that in the Feng family, they were all called eldest sisters, Feng Yu'er vaguely remembered a jade sound, and she still listened to it when she was taken away by a kidnapper, but at that time she was in a coma, and Wanyin couldn't hear it clearly. After being sold to Baihualou, she didn't leave the pavilion, and the bustard thought Yu'er was also very good, so she kept calling it down.

Qin Ye was already nine points sure, and said, "Did anyone see the child fall into the water with their own eyes that day?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "After the accident, only the maid shouted for help, but no one saw how the eldest sister fell into the water," and sighed: "Feng Tong is convinced that his own girl fell into the pond." ”

In order to be cautious, Qin Ye asked again, "Shopkeeper, in addition to our Ping'an County, is there a place to open a lotus pond nearby?" ”

The shopkeeper affirmed: "Within a radius of 300 miles, the only one is to raise lotus in Ping'an County." ”

After a while, the shopkeeper was busy with himself, Qin Ye seemed to be closing his eyes and recuperating, but he was thinking about what the shopkeeper said just now.

Silver hairpins, lotus ponds, homeless people——

All the clues have been settled in Ping'an County, and that Feng Wanyu, not only has the same name as Feng Yuer, Feng Wanyu is the same age as Feng Yuer, Feng Wanyu is still dead without a body, and the news given by Feng Yuer is also that her grandmother doesn't like her, and there is a beautiful girl waiting for her, Mrs. Feng will definitely not like this granddaughter, beautiful girl, that Zhu'er, is indeed good-looking.

It's clear...... Just one person?

There are other things in between, for what reason did Zhu'er pretend that Feng Wanyu drowned? Did you inadvertently lose your child and hide the truth for fear of punishment? Or is it deliberately and secretly discarding the child? In addition, Zhu'er's enamel silver hairpin ended up in Feng Yuer's hands.

The most important thing is that according to Feng Yuer's own memory, she was abducted by a person named Bald Three......

The prince said, if you find someone, you have to give Miss Feng a safe home, if this matter is not resolved, you can't just admit your relatives.

The key now is to find the bald three!

Bald three, it must be difficult to find all over the world, but now the range is indented, and it is definitely not difficult.

When he went to the counter to settle the bill, the shopkeeper refused to accept Qin Ye's silver anymore, Qin Ye smiled, and was about to leave after receiving the silver, just when he walked to the door, someone rushed in sideways and collided with Qin Ye.

Qin Ye didn't pay attention either, and staggered back a few steps.

"Yo, uncle, are you here? Hurry inside please! The shopkeeper hurriedly went up to greet him, and touched Xiao Er next to him with his arm, signaling him to help Qin Ye.

Xiao Er got the order, ran forward and picked up Qin Ye, saw the person entering, and whispered in his ear: "This person is the nephew of Old Madam Feng, known as 'Zhou Bawang', and he has never been reasonable, don't worry about him, lest you suffer a loss." ”

This Zhou Bawang is Zhu'er's husband, and he is also the man who broke into Mrs. Feng's Zhuangzi at the beginning.

There is no coincidence that things in the world are not written, and the person Feng Yuer saved on the way turned out to be her mother, thinking that it was the nature of mother and daughter, so Feng Yuer, who was careful not to show up, took the initiative to save people.

Thinking of this, he was not in a hurry to leave, and re-entered the house.

Zhou Bawang sat down and told the shopkeeper what he wanted to eat, and when he saw Qin Ye coming in and looking at him on the side, he glared at him and said, "Why are you still not convinced?" Go and ask who the master is! ”

Qin Ye arched his hand with a smile, indicating that he was very convinced.

Seeing that Qin Ye recognized the meaning of softness, the man scolded two foul words, carried a bird cage, and continued to order food.

The shopkeeper continued to wait.

Qin Ye retreated at this time and stood by the counter, where he could also observe the movements of Zhou Bawang's side intentionally or unintentionally.

After a while, the shopkeeper came back, and when he saw that Qin Ye was still there, he couldn't help but be taken aback, thinking that he was not convinced, so he hurriedly went up and persuaded: "Guest officer, this person has always been a bastard, more things are better than less things, you better avoid it, today he was in a good mood and didn't make a move, in the past, whoever wanted to provoke him, the fist immediately came up." ”

"Don't get me wrong, my leg hurt a little from being hit just now, so I'll rest here for a while." Qin Ye smiled and pulled with the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper hurriedly ordered someone to bring him a chair, and said in a low voice: "Don't look at the people in front of everyone, everyone calls him 'uncle', but behind his back he scolds him 'Zhou Bawang', he has done a lot of eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and he definitely hates dogs." ”

"Feng Tong doesn't care about him?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "Where does Lord Feng's words work, it's not good, this Feng family is not him, guess who it is - Old Madam Feng, that guy is Old Madam Feng's nephew, there is an old lady behind her waist to support her, who dares to provoke!" ”

At this time, Xiao Er, who was waiting for Zhou Bawang, came back with a smile, stretched out a hand in front of the shopkeeper, and said, "Look, Zhou Bawang opened the world for the first time, and he actually rewarded us with silver!" ”

The shopkeeper also felt strange: "Sure enough, the sun came out of the west, but what is the saying?" ”

"Uncle Zhou can say, today the silver fell from the sky, and someone gave three hundred taels to his wife for nothing, so he simply let the big guy follow suit." Xiao Er happily put the broken silver the size of a fingernail into his sleeve.

Qin Ye saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but smile dumbly, thinking that the silver that fell from the sky was the three hundred taels he gave to Na Zhu'er, and those people in the Feng family were not embarrassed to take this silver shamelessly.

After inquiring for a few more days, it was difficult for the bald three to find out in Jiaxing Mansion, Qin Ye decided that he had to hurry back to Suzhou Mansion, and a few days ago he investigated the case file, and saw the name of the bald three in the file of the lost population, and if he wanted to get the truth, he should go all out to arrest this person.

Early the next morning, Qin Ye went to the Tongju Mansion first, preparing to resign from Feng Jizhong.

Passing by the government office, I didn't expect that at this hour, there were many people surrounded outside the yamen.

Qin Ye knew that it was still those who petitioned, but today seeing that everyone looked excited, and kept asking Master Feng to come out and give everyone an explanation, Qin Ye couldn't help but be curious, and casually asked a spectator next to him, "May I ask the little brother, but what happened?" ”

The man also looked indignant: "Yesterday there was a rumor that the county lord interrogated the criminal, but the two abductors retracted their confessions, and actually said that they lost their daughter a few days ago, and looked at the little girl like their daughter, and mistakenly thought it was their own child, so they did a foolish thing, but I didn't think about it, Lord Feng actually believed that nonsense, and said that he would be released today!" ”

No wonder Feng Jizhong can't even figure out whether his daughter is dead or alive, he is really a rare fool in the world, how can anyone retract his confession, even if there is no evidence, for the sake of justice and justice, he has no reason to let go.

At this time, there was someone in the crowd: "Everyone, we are here today, the government dares to release people, we will immediately capture the two abductors alive, if there is no one in Ping'an County and Jiaxing Mansion for us, there is Nanzhili, and the capital, it's really not good, the emperor is patrolling south, let's give up our lives and go to the palace together!" ”

Everyone responded loudly, and there was no shortage of cheers.

Qin Ye sighed secretly, this Feng Jizhong has already been determined to be Feng Yu'er's father, and he will also be a relative of the prince in the future, this matter can't be allowed to get into trouble.

The prince's mind is to promote Feng Yu'er's family, and also allow Feng Yu'er to marry into the East Palace smoothly.

So, he was about to enter the yamen, but before he had taken two steps, someone suddenly pulled him from behind.

When he turned around, Qin Ye saw that it was a white-haired old man, his eyesight was good, and he recognized that it was the one who wanted to submit the list of lost children yesterday.

Qin Ye still remembered that he was an old man with the surname Bai.

"White Juren!" Qin Ye bowed his hand politely. 166 Reading Network
