The content of the chapter begins - > Bai Ko's body shakes, his heart looks up, and he smiles flatteringly.

"How are you going to clean it up?"

"Scared now? Wasn't it quite arrogant just now? ”

"No, it was an instinctive reaction just now." Bai Ko pursed his mouth slightly, looking innocent.

Seeing her like this, Gu Yun secretly gritted her teeth, and was about to teach her a lesson, when there was a sound of footsteps under the porch outside, it was the girls who came back with the two boxes of books.

Bai Ko blinked, grinned, pushed Shizi away, snatched the tray in his hand and put on his shoes and left.

Gu Yun was very depressed and went back to reading the book, ignoring the sugar water made for him on the other table.

Bai Ko followed to the study, and instructed the girls to put the two bookcases in the corner between the bookshelves and the bookshelves, the outside of the bookcases was not locked, but when you opened the lid, you could only see a normal subset of scriptures and histories, all of which were tomes, a set of several or even a dozen books, and many of the outer covers were yellowed and loosened, I don't know where the Chengwang found so many old books, but it does meet the good reason for ventilation and preservation.

Looking at the box put away, Bai Ko did not forget to tell the girls not to touch it, these old books are now unavailable for the first edition or out of print, and it may even be that the university scholars have made annotations and annotations, not ordinary value, in case of a little damage, I don't know where to find the same compensation to the king of Jiacheng.

When the girls heard this, they confirmed that the box was stable, and they immediately walked away and didn't dare to touch it again, so they quickly cleaned up the second floor and put it upstairs to feel safer, otherwise they had to be careful of the water in the box every day.

Everyone quickly exited the study, Bai Ko went back to his house and took two small locks and went back to lock the bookbox, and by the way found the silver coins and jewelry hidden in the box and the lock-picking tools lent to Tong Mingli, but because there were people under the corridor, she couldn't take out the silver coins and jewelry, so she only took away the gadgets, and planned to go to the street tomorrow to buy a few more complex high-end locks, and lock the door on the second floor.

Bai Ko returned to the ear room and said to the prince, Gu Yun responded coldly with a stinky face, Bai Ko didn't pay attention to him anymore, and only ordered Qinglan to wait, she went to the second floor to see the cleaning progress of the third-class girls, and then went to the small kitchen to wash her hands and cook vegetables.

Zhong Mingyuan was as peaceful and peaceful as ever, and at the same time, in the Liang University Scholar's Mansion, Tong Mingli was also arranging dinner in the kitchen, and Liang Zhongshan spent the night outside last night, so he would come back early today, Tong Mingli wanted to cook a few dishes he loved to eat, pretending to be ignorant of the chaos that was about to erupt.

The proprietress of Jinyufang sent someone to pick up Lanzhu with a note early in the morning, but she couldn't wait for anyone to wait, so she had to send someone to inquire again, only to know that Lanzhu was picked up at that time, but since she hadn't seen anyone, it was naturally an accident.

Yesterday I lost Ruoyu, and today I lost Lanzhu, and the frightened proprietress had to write an urgent letter to let people send it to the Hanlin Courtyard to Liang Zhongshan, which is a rare emergency measure to use, and the envelope did not write the name of the proprietress of Jinyufang, otherwise it is too dangerous for such a letter to be sent directly to the Hanlin Academy, so the sender designed it as a kind of code, indicating that Jinyufang encountered an emergency, so that it would not attract attention and would not let Liang Zhongshan ignore this special letter disguised as an ordinary letter.

Liang Zhongshan was also anxious when he saw the letter, and lost two right-hand men overnight, but he was out eating and drinking last night, otherwise this morning with the time when the proprietress delivered the letter, he would not have missed it at home, but it was too late to regret it, Liang Zhongshan had to transfer another person to find Ruoyu and Lanzhu, and then spent the whole day in the Hanlin Courtyard.

Finally, when it was time to get off duty, Liang Zhongshan immediately went home, went to his main room and asked the young grandmother, and when he learned that dinner was being prepared in the kitchen, he immediately turned his heels and went to the small courtyard where the girls lived behind, and went straight to Lanzhu's room.

The door was unlocked but closed, and on the large table under the window was a package sent by the person at the back door during the day, the room was clean and tidy, the bed was also flat and neat, the quilt sheets were spread without wrinkles, the eight-treasure box at the head of the bed was resting upright, and the padlock was locked.

Liang Zhongshan pulled it and didn't pull it away, but when he picked up the box again, it was not too heavy, just the weight of the box itself, and there was no sound in it, Liang Zhongshan knew that this box contained Lanzhu's private money, and it was impossible to be so light and there was no sound.

The bad premonition that had been entrenched in his heart for a day burned Liang Zhongshan's head hot, he threw down the box and rushed to the makeup on the table, all the drawers were opened, and they were empty, and not a single earring was left.

Liang Zhongshan held on to the table and calmed down, turned around and walked to the screen in the corner, opened it and saw the empty closet, his eyes suddenly turned black, and his feet became soft.

Lan Zhu kept all the most important things in her hands, those medicines and documentary evidence were all evidence of crimes that could be directly convicted, Lan Zhu is missing now, and the things are gone, but the locks that should be locked are well locked, she went out empty-handed in the morning, it is impossible to bring things, so many things have disappeared too weirdly, although he has never entered Lan Zhu's room, but he knows how many of those things there are, so many boxes, not just by his hands can be taken away.

Liang Zhongshan laboriously pushed the screen back into its place, and went out to the courtyard a little depressed, and the night breeze blew at first warm, which made his hot head warm up slightly, and he raised his feet and quickly went to the main room to ask the girls there.

"Did the young grandmother send anything out today?"

"Yes, a few days ago, I decided to send incense offerings to Shaofu today, and tomorrow morning, the young grandmother will be able to take the incense from the door. Master, have you forgotten? These girls carried the food boxes to the car with their own hands and received the reward, so they naturally remember it clearly.

"How many food boxes did the young grandmother send out?"

"It's a lot, it's big and heavy, but it's all a predetermined quantity, and the young grandmother is really accurate, and there is no waste."

"What else did the young grandmother do before the food box went out?"

"I didn't do anything, after breakfast, the young grandmother went to the old lady's side to assist in housework, we cleaned the main room, and when she came back, the kitchen sent the snacks, and everyone sent them out after sorting and preparation."

The girls answered reasonably without a trace of flaws, Liang Zhongshan listened to it with a big head, and wanted to sort out the things in Lanzhu's room, judging from the descriptions of the girls, it was not enough time for Tong Mingli to avoid the eyes of his subordinates and act privately, and the matter of preparing offerings for the second day of February to Yuan and Gong Shangxiang had already been decided, and it was unreasonable to say that this matter itself was a calculation.

However, if you want to give away all the things in the Lanzhu room at once, it is most likely to be packed in a large number of food boxes.

Yesterday afternoon to the evening, Ruoyu and her coachman and girl disappeared, and this morning Lanzhu was picked up by Jin Yufang and the driver who picked up the person disappeared together, and Jin Yufang did not know about it, but Tong Mingli had a large number of food boxes sent to a friend's house to prepare for tomorrow's incense.

How could it be so coincidental?

"The snacks from the kitchen are really packed into the food box, no more, no less?"

"It's all loaded, master, the quantity is just right, it's full, and it's quite heavy in your hand." The girls felt very strange, "Master, what are you doing so carefully?" ”

"It's nothing, I'll just ask, tomorrow the young grandmother will go to incense, and I just let her make a wish for me."

"The young grandmother went to incense to ask for a son, what does the master want to ask for?" The girls giggled.

"Naturally, it's for the future."

Liang Zhongshan smiled at the girls, turned around and had a cold face, raised his legs out of the main room and went back to his current temporary residence to rest, as soon as he entered the door, he went to the bathroom to relieve his hands, and saw that he was bloody in the urine and couldn't help but be more irritable, blood in the urine has been several days, at first it was only a spring liver fire, but then there was frequent urination, urgency, low back pain and fatigue, Liang Zhongshan was not studying in vain, he felt that he was not necessary to ask the doctor to take a look.

But thinking of the missing Ruoyu and Lanzhu, Liang Zhongshan felt that it was more important to find them first, and now it seems that someone must have set a trap and taken them away, Ruoyu came out of the guest's house at normal time yesterday, and never returned to Jinyufang after that, but the proprietress received a note from the guest's house, and when the proprietress was busy and found that the situation was wrong, it was already twilight drum time, and it was too late to react.

That note was obviously a tactic to delay time, and then intercept people halfway, and I'm afraid the same method was the same for Lan Zhu's disappearance today, and when the carriage of Jinyufang picked up people, he would attack Lan Zhu.

With a population of one million in the capital, it is difficult to find two women who have been deliberately hidden!

And those medicines and documentary evidence, I don't know whose hands they have fallen into!

Liang Zhongshan pulled up his pants, washed his hands and went back to the bedroom to sit down, and after a while, he got up and paced back and forth, going through the people who might be against him in his brain like a sieve.

Liang Zhongshan couldn't help but be nervous like this, Lan Zhu was his person, this was a public identity, but the true identity of Ruoyu and the entire Jin Yufang was a secret, and the person who could kidnap these two women at the same time obviously knew this, and directly cut off his two most powerful arms at once.

Two women were abducted at the same time, and the items kept by Lan Zhu disappeared mysteriously on the same day, and in about the same time, only Tong Mingli sent a big food box outside.

The more Liang Zhongshan thought about it, the more he felt that the matter of missing items must be a combination of inside and outside, not missing sooner or later, Lan Zhu was taken captive when she went out with her front foot, and the things in her room were clean and disappeared with her back foot, which only the family had a chance to start.

Thinking of this, the object of Liang Zhongshan's suspicion revolved more and more around Tong Mingli.

The timing was too coincidental.

Although there are still things that don't make sense, this coincidence is too man-made.

It's too much of a resemblance. End of chapter - >
