Chapter 262: A Desperate Shot
Zhi Yu and Zhi Fan respectively told the Lan family and Ling Shandao about Ling Yi's disappearance, and when they heard about it, they were so frightened that their souls were gone.
Lan's eyes were red, and he didn't give up and walked around Ling Yi's room, and asked people to look up and down the mansion, every corner that Ling Yi might go to and couldn't go, but there was still no one, so he had to admit that the person was indeed missing, but this kind of thing was not the first time.
"This kid, how can he always encounter this kind of thing, this is God's lack of eyes." Lan cried in distress.
said that it was missing, but Zhi Yu analyzed that Ling Yi was abducted by some gangsters.
The corners of Ling Shandao's eyes were moist, and he choked up: "This New Year has just arrived, this kind of thing happened, the guards didn't notice it, and they couldn't find any clues, where can I find this?" ”
Zhi Yu was clear-minded, and proposed: "The servant thinks that it is not appropriate to make a big publicity, the Ling Mansion is no better than ordinary people, and the person who captives people is either a respected person himself, or the status of the person who supports him is not low."
In my humble opinion, those who can compete with the Ling Mansion and hate the eldest lady now are afraid that it is the Gong family. So if you want to find it, you should start with the palace family. Having said that, she was also a little uncertain in her heart, but at the moment she could only analyze them one by one, and checked the Gong family first, and no one said anything.
Gong Chengyan was grounded by Emperor Qinglong because of Ling Yi, not to mention, and fined Yu Lu, even if these can not be mentioned, he once again lost his trust in front of Emperor Qinglong, which is an immeasurable loss.
After the incident in Wu County, he didn't even want to give Ling Shandao a superficial kindness, even if the two met, they didn't smile. Anyone could see the spark of hostility between the two.
What Zhi Yu said was not unreasonable, Ling Shandao immediately asked Ling Chang to go to the Hou Mansion to find Gong Xiru, hoping to find clues through the latter.
"The little marquis should be in the palace at this time. If the small ones go at this time, will they startle the snakes? Ling Chang was a little worried.
Weaving Fan thought for a while, and recommended himself: "Master, it's better to let the maid go, the maid is familiar with the cook there, maybe you can find out." ”
Ling Chang was indeed not familiar with the steward of the Gong family, and it was inconvenient to come to the door to find someone. Ling Shandao nodded hurriedly and said, "It's better for you to go, then hurry up, as soon as there is news." and he came back to report it. ”
Weaving Fan hurried to the palace.
After retreating here, Zhi Yu went to find Lu Xiaotian, and before he could tell him about Ling Yi, Lu Xiaotian affirmed: "I was taken away." I'm afraid it's not long after we leave. There are uninvited guests here, this is found from the window, if I remember correctly, the rice cake sent by the Hou Ye, the eldest lady should have eaten it in her stomach last night. ”
Zhi Yu saw at a glance that it was Ling Yi's favorite shortbread, and exclaimed: "There were indeed people who came last night, and the people who sold shortbread had already gone back for the New Year, and the eldest lady was still talking a few days ago." I'm going to see if the family is in Beijing. ”
As soon as I went out, I ran into Cheng's mother, who was followed by a few small servants. Carrying a few thick boards.
"Mother Cheng, what are you doing?" Oriha asked.
Cheng's mother sighed: "Last night, the eldest lady also told me to let me seal the doors and windows, I suspected it at the time, but the eldest lady said that it was cold, and I didn't care too much, who ever thought about it, I am afraid that the eldest lady noticed that someone was going to break in, so she wanted to seal the window." ”
Weaving Yu's thoughts turned very quickly, "If the eldest lady knew in advance that someone would come to rob her, she would not sit still, it should be really cold in the house, so let my mother seal it." ”
Cheng's mother thought about it carefully, and felt that it made sense, if Ling Yi had known that someone was coming, she would not have said nothing.
"I hope I'm thinking too much, I'm not sure, I'm going to seal the windows inside and outside this house now, just to keep warm."
Ori Yu was blessed, "Then I'll go out first, and my mother will be busy first." ”
The two said goodbye, and Ori Yu hurried out of the house.
Lu Xiaotian was waiting for her at the back door, and when he saw that her face was a little strange, he asked, "What's the matter?" Where to go now? ”
"Go to the palace, the eldest lady must be in the palace family.
Last night, the eldest lady asked Cheng's mother to seal the window, but she didn't say the real reason, I'm afraid that Gong Yunrui entered my young lady's room last night.
Miss in order not to attract other people's tongue, so she hid this matter, if it was someone else, she would definitely not hide it, have you seen when the eldest lady deliberately avoided the taboo of men and women? Last year, she had a gossip with Gong Yunrui, and it was because of this that the eldest lady released the words that she would never marry, and the only thing she wanted to avoid suspicion was Gong Yunrui.
I'm sure he must have sent someone to kidnap the eldest lady. ”
Hearing her say this, Lu Xiaotian also felt reasonable, "I am here on weekdays, he doesn't dare to act rashly, but he secretly started while I went out with you last night, which is really despicable." ”
Ori Yu felt guilty on his face, and his eyes were red, "If I hadn't left last night, the eldest lady wouldn't have been taken away, and now I don't know what happened to people, the surname Gong is not a good thing, what if he takes the eldest lady--what can I do?" And when he had spoken, he began to weep aloud.
Lu Xiaotian hurriedly comforted her and said: "You can't help it, I know that the guard next to Gong Yunrui has some skills, you are here, and you still can't stop anything, at this time, let's go to the palace first." ”
*
said that after Ling Yi woke up, he faced the windowless room on all sides, and paced back and forth anxiously.
Suddenly, I heard a voice from outside, and I listened to what was being said, but I wanted to enter the house.
She felt a chill in her heart, looked around, and couldn't find a place to hide herself, and her face turned pale in a hurry.
Seeing that the door was opened, at that moment, it was like slow motion, Ling Yipestle didn't know what to do, and suddenly a force behind her stopped her waist and hugged her, and suddenly there was an air under her feet, and in just a few breaths, Ling Yiren was on the beam on the roof.
The foot was unstable, and she had to hold the hand on her waist tightly, but those hands, as soon as she touched it, she knew that it was a man's hand.
Ling Yi was a little uncomfortable, and the hand that was clenched loosened a little, but was grabbed by the hand on his waist instead.
Her brow furrowed slightly, and then relaxed after a moment, the situation was urgent, and she really shouldn't care about it.
Ji Lao pushed the door in, only to feel that something passed by in front of him, and he rubbed his eyes. I looked at it again, but there was nothing, and I couldn't help muttering: "It's not an eye disease." I always see a figure flickering. ”
The accompanying servant immediately said, "Why don't you go to Xiaorentang to dispense you with a few pairs of medicines?" ”
Ji Lao nodded, and walked to the back room again, the bed was a little messy, and there was still a little residual warmth when he reached out, obviously someone had just gotten up.
"Old Ancestor-" Gong Yunrui walked in from outside, with some trepidation on his face, knelt down and said, "Please forgive your sins." Wenyu knows that he is wrong, and he is willing to bear all the punishments, and asks the ancestor not to be angry with others. ”
Ji Lao looked at him inexplicably. "You know you're up late?"
Gong Yunrui was stunned, looked up suddenly, and saw that the bed was empty, except for the two entourages brought by Ji Lao. It's the maid who waits in her own house. And the person who should have appeared, did not.
He hurriedly looked around, there was no place to hide in the house, what about Ling Yi? Where will it go?
Although Gong Yunrui didn't look up, his action still made Ling Yi nervous unconsciously, and his body shrank back.
The person behind her moved slightly, and the hand around her waist tightened a little.
Ji Lao didn't know what to think. The serious expression on his face suddenly disappeared, and turned into a charitable smile. He walked to Gong Yunrui's side, helped the latter up with his own hands, took Gong Yunrui's hand and said: "That's it, there are many relatives here today, you hurry up to the front yard, your eldest brother can't entertain alone, you are also the son-in-law of the family, you can't hide from anyone." ”
After speaking, he said with concern: "Look at your cold hands, wear more clothes, if you suffer from the cold during the New Year, it will not be good." ”
Gong Yunrui smiled on his face, "Thank you Ancestor for your concern." ”
The corners of Ji Lao's mouth raised slightly, and he walked out while saying, "If it's okay, let's go, there are still guests in the front hall, and you can't neglect the guests." ”
Gong Yunrui had to respectfully follow in front of Ji Lao, and before leaving, he didn't forget to take a look at the house, but he couldn't think of where Ling Yi was, so he could only guess that the latter had deceived the maid guarding the door and escaped.
Ji Lao walked in front and whispered to his entourage: "You go to check, there was a maid in the courtyard who stayed in the second young master's room last night, if not, then go to the gate and the back door to ask, see if the second young master brought the woman back last night, his hands are so cold, he must have gotten up early, but there is residual temperature on the bed, and it is clear that there was a woman staying in that house last night." ”
Although he is old, but he is not old and dizzy, last night he clearly saw the figure of the woman outside the door of the front hall, if it is a maid in the house, it will never sneakily hide outside the door.
The entourage was slightly stunned, and didn't dare to ask more, but just nodded yes.
Everyone in the house left, and before Ling Yi could speak, the people behind her jumped off the beam with her in their arms.
The strength of his waist quickly withdrew, and Ling Yi turned around to see who it was, but the person was faster, leaving only a back for her, and then quickly disappeared outside the door.
There are no maids guarding the door anymore.
Ling Yi stood at the door and looked up at the beams of the room, with helplessness in his eyes.
She can't remember how many times she has climbed over the top of the beam, she lives so big, she can't remember what she did the most, but there are a lot of things that jump over the beam, and she just hopes that she won't encounter such a thing again in the future.
Watching her avoid the subordinates all the way and sneak out of the palace quietly, Ling Wen left from the other end of the roof.
There was also a person standing under the corner, watching Ling Yi leave with a strong gaze.
"Fourth master, since you want to be a hero and save the beauty, why don't you go by yourself, she hasn't seen my people, and she doesn't know that I am instructed by you, what good is it for you?"
Zhu Mo didn't see Ling Yi's figure until he couldn't see it, then he turned around and walked in the opposite direction, and asked, "What I asked you to put in, can you put it?" ”
Ling Wen nodded, "While she's not paying attention, put it in her belt." ”
Zhu Mo had a triumphant smile on his face, "This is God is helping me, if it weren't for the unwillingness in my heart last night, I went to the Ling Mansion, I wouldn't have seen Gong Yunrui take Ling Yatou to his own mansion, and it is impossible to come to such a hero to save the beauty, when Ling Yatou goes back and sees that thing, with her cleverness, she will definitely be able to guess that it is me." ”
Ling Wen was the servant of the Ling Mansion after all, his master was kidnapped, and he was also a little angry in his heart, "This Gong Yunrui is really bold, he dares to take Miss Ling to his room, what is he going to do, it is obvious, it's just his father, but it is impossible to agree to this matter anyway, does the matter of the fourth master have to be reported?" ”
Zhu Mo glanced at him angrily: "What to report, my father and emperor already have a lot of affairs, and this kind of trivial thing tells him what to do, as long as he knows the discord between the old son of the palace family and his son, the old guy of Gong Chengyan is not completely sincere to him, and Uncle Ling has no rebellious heart for the royal family, it is enough." ”
Ling Wen heard the partiality in his tone and said with a smile: "The fourth master would never say such a thing before. ”
Zhu Mo suddenly stopped, looked at him tightly, and said seriously: "I admit that Gong Xiru and Bai Lang are my good brothers, but if they compete with me for the girl, then I will not recognize them no matter what." ”
Ling Wen hurriedly lowered his head and said, "The subordinates know that the things that the fourth master wants have never been obtained. ”
Zhu Mo's smile instantly returned to the corner of his mouth, and he continued to walk forward: "This is good, if Ling Yatou marries me, it will be the queen of the future, one person under ten thousand people, but the supreme glory." ”
Ling Wen secretly said in his heart, he really didn't think that the eldest lady was a person who coveted fame and glory. But he didn't dare to say it.
Zhu Mo walked and said, "You send a message to Fuquan and tell him what I mean, and marry the ugly woman of Princess Haining to Gong Yunrui, these two people are more vicious than the other, and they are very compatible." ”
When Ling Wen heard this, he frowned and said: "I'm afraid this matter is impossible, the emperor has already said that after the New Year, he will marry Princess Haining to the fourth master, although the Ning country is small, but the 50,000 soldiers and horses are real, it is impossible for the emperor to let the palace family get this power." ”
Zhu Mo's face was displeased, "I'll leave quickly after the New Year and see him looking for me."
Didn't Ning Guo send an envoy yesterday, he must have come to urge marriage, if I am not there, my father will choose the palace family among the ministers in order to stabilize Ning Guo.
No matter which one of them, it's good to marry that ugly woman, at least between the two brothers, one of them can't stare at Ling Yatou anymore. ”
Ling Wen said with a smile: "The two sons of the Gong family, although they are both sons-in-law, but their identities and statuses are very different, the status of the princess is noble after all, if it really belongs to the Gong family, there is no hope for that second son." ”
In other words, if Zhu Mo leaves at that time, and there is no suitable prince in the palace to marry Princess Haining, then Gong Xiru is the best candidate.
Zhu Mo smiled even more, "If my father really does this, I will thank him for the rest of my life." ”
Ling Wen poured cold water on him without hesitation, "With the emperor's jealousy of the Ling family, if the fourth master wants to fight for the throne, he must not be able to marry the Ling Mansion." ”
The smile on Zhu Mo's face really stiffened instantly, and he glanced back at Ling Wen coldly: "You crow's mouth, you know this kind of thing in your heart, what do you do when you say it, that throne is easy for me, if I really become the emperor, then everything is not up to me." ”
Ling Wen muttered in his heart: I'm afraid that before that, the emperor will first set a family affair for you, and now several powerful ministers in the court, the Zhang family, the Bai family, and the Gong family, all of these mansions have school-age daughters, but I am afraid that no one is necessarily.
