12. Yamen
Zhang Zhifu thought that after locking Zhang Yunyong at home, he would not need to find the blind girl he said.
But who expected, less than a month later, another big event happened.
All transferred salt to make Si Liu Fei's daughter disappear.
This Liu envoy has four sons under his knees, but only one daughter, named Liu Yuan. Because she is the only daughter, Liu Zhisi is very precious to her, and she depends on her for everything on weekdays, that is to ask for stars, but she doesn't dare to give the moon. is such a precious daughter, but on the fifteenth day of this month, on the way to worship the Buddha in the temple on the outskirts of the city, she suddenly disappeared.
Even the sedan chair, the sedan chair driver, and the maid are all missing.
Liu Zhisi was so anxious that he didn't care that it was past the time to release the yamen, so he hurriedly came to the yamen to see Governor Zhang's mansion.
When Governor Zhang heard that it was Liu Envoy who came, he quickly changed his clothes and came out to meet. This Liu envoy is from the position of the third grade, and he is a prefect of the fourth grade, but he can't afford to put that score.
After meeting at the Yamen and hearing about Liu Qianjin's disappearance, Governor Zhang immediately sent people to investigate, some went to the temple to inquire, and some searched back and forth near the road from the city to the temple, but after looking for it again and again, he didn't even see a ghost.
When the day came, the men sent back but could not find anyone. But Liu Envoy did not give up, and said that he wanted Governor Zhang to expand the scope of searching.
Governor Zhang sent out all the people who could be sent out in the yamen to look for it, but three days later, they still haven't found it.
The longer the missing person is missing, the less chance there is of being unharmed or surviving.
Liu Yuan's mother, I don't know what kind of danger Liu Yuan is in now, she is crying and shouting in the yamen, disturbing the peace of Governor Zhang's mansion.
But the officials have been dispatched quickly, and in the suburbs of the city, those who should be interrogated have also been interrogated, and those who should have been searched have been searched, but there is no news, and there is no whereabouts of the people, what else can Governor Zhang do?
Seeing that Governor Zhang's Mansion was no longer able to do so, Liu Envoy was anxious, so he put pressure on him, saying that it was a case of disappearance, which should be easy to investigate, and if it could not be found, he would have to report it, saying that the Yamen had failed to investigate the case.
Governor Zhang was impatient when he heard this, but he could only nod his head and say that he would find out Liu Yuan's whereabouts as soon as possible.
When he was anxious, Yang Zhutou came to Governor Zhang and said something unbelievable.
said that Cheng Lan solved the case of the picture scroll that time, not because of great luck, but because he was guided by one person.
That person was a blind girl surnamed Shen Mingshu.
How did this Yang Zhutou know about Shen Shu?
It turned out that after Cheng Lan talked with Shen Shu at the inn that day, a thought came to his mind.
Since Shen Shu can provide so many useful clues, the asking price is so high.
And he, after the case of the picture scroll, is in the yamen, I am afraid that there is no hope for promotion.
It's better to make another contribution and introduce Shen Shu to Yang Zhutou and Zhang Zhifu, if they can really solve the big case, the two of them will not be disadvantaged to him in terms of the credit he introduced, and the promotion may not be hopeless.
So, before he went out, he told Yang Zhutou about Shen Shu.
When Yang Zhutou heard this, he was also skeptical, and he didn't think about whether to tell Governor Zhang for a while.
Now, when something tricky happened, he remembered that it was also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and it never hurt to give it a try.
When Governor Zhang heard this, he linked the matter with what Zhang Yunyong said.
This blind girl surnamed Shen is really so evil?
Since there is no other way, let's try it.
Knowing that Cheng Lan Xu knew the whereabouts of the blind girl, he ordered Yang to catch his head and quickly summoned Cheng Lan back to find out the blind girl.
After the order, Governor Zhang only sighed, but he didn't expect Zhang Yunyong to be locked up at home, but he still wanted someone to find the blind girl.
However, Liu Envoy's matter is very big, and he wants to see what means this blind woman has, and whether he can really solve this matter.
The person sent by Yang Zhukuai to deliver the letter met Cheng Lan halfway through. After his business was done, he was on his way back, and when he learned about it, he hurried back to the city and went directly to find Shen Shu.
Later, they learned that Shen Shu had been found, and Yang Zhutou and Zhang Zhifu also made up their minds.
In Governor Zhang's heart, he was a little curious.
On the second day, I will see this blind girl, and I don't know what she really looks like.
*******************
The second day was not long in coming.
As soon as the hour arrived, as soon as the sky was bright, a small sedan chair entered Wuli Lane.
In this narrow alley, the sedan chair walked slowly, and when it reached the door of the grocery store Lao Li, it stopped.
A person next to the sedan chair, wearing the uniform of a servant, walked to the door of the grocery store, tuk tuk, and knocked three times.
With a creak, the door opened, and a girl with a bun appeared at the door.
The official who knocked on the door was stunned, but he didn't expect the door to open so quickly. But when he thought about it, Xu is people got up early and were waiting inside, so he was relieved, and only asked, "Is Miss Shen Shu here?" Governor Zhang, please. ”
The girl said, "Yes, please wait a moment." Then he turned around and went into the house.
After a while, another girl was brought out.
The girl lowered her eyes and walked slowly, and it took a while to reach the sedan chair.
"Excuse me, is it Miss Shen?" The official stepped forward and asked.
"Yes." The girl who came out later answered.
"Miss is a little unwell, I'll go to the yamen with her, and take care of one or two." The girl who came out first said, "Brother Yashi, is this so convenient? ”
"It should be fine." The official said, since the person invited by the prefect is unwell, why not go to a maid to take care of it? If asked, there is a reason to answer.
So, the two girls got into the sedan chair.
The sedan chair man lifted the sedan chair and went straight to the direction of the yamen.
The yamen is in the northeast of the city, although it is not far, but it is not close, and the sedan chair travels for about half an hour to arrive.
In front of the Yamen, the sedan chair fell.
The official said outside the sedan chair: "Miss Shen, the yamen has arrived." ”
Yu'er lifted the sedan curtain with one hand and walked out with Shen Shu with the other.
When I came out of the sedan chair, I saw a majestic gate standing in the middle of the tall wall.
The official next to the sedan chair took the two of them to the door, and after greeting the doorkeeper for a few words, he turned around and said, "Miss Shen, please." ”
Yu'er hugged Shen Shu and said, "Miss take your feet carefully." ”
Shen Shu knew that there was a threshold for her, so she raised her left foot and stepped in gently.
