I haven't seen him all night, and Fu Geng looks very haggard.

His face was covered in blue stubble, and his hair was a little disheveled. And even so, he is wearing a dark robe and a dark cloak, but he still has a different kind of handsomeness.

Fu Jun raised his head to look at his father, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Good skin is good, just such a raunchy appearance, you can fascinate people when you go out.

Looking at Fu Jun's black grape-like eyes, Fu Geng felt that the heart-wrenching pain from last night had surged up again. He didn't know how lucky he was until today. Compared to those people, his daughter is still standing here with all her beard and tail, and he should really thank God.

Fu Geng squatted/down/body/came, stroked his hand lightly on Fu Jun's small grapple, and said softly: "Sister Tang is tired?" Did you sleep well? ”

Fu Jun smiled: "I'm not tired, I'm about to go to find my father." ”

Fu Geng saw that his daughter was radiant, without a trace of decadence, his little face was flushed, and he couldn't help but think of what happened to Fang Cai again, the smile on his face faded, and his eyes flashed with a thick melancholy.

After the dynasty this morning, the emperor summoned Fu Geng to the Chengming Hall of Suchang Yanxi to speak, and from time to time there was a small eunuch to report, saying that Jing Nanbo and Dali Temple Qing Tang Lin both asked to see, and the saint announced that the two entered the hall.

That Jing Nanbo and Tang Lin came for the same thing. It turned out that after the Lantern Festival last night, the Wucheng Terracotta Division successively received several cases of children being abducted, including children from ordinary people and children from wealthy families, and the most surprising thing was that the second son of Tang Lone, the Qing of Dali Temple, was also abducted.

Because the whereabouts of the young son are unknown, it is likely to be in the hands of thieves, Tang Lin threw a mouse taboo, so he begged Jing Nanbo not to report the matter in the court, but privately asked to see the emperor, one by one.

Because the four girls of the Pingnan Hou Mansion were also lost last night, and Jing Nanbo also received a secret report, saying that a female corpse was also found in the alley where the four girls of Fu were found, combined with the fugitive slaves of the Pingnan Hou Mansion. Jing Nanbo suspected that Miss Fu Si had also been abducted, but she escaped back for some reason. The matter was so big that he didn't dare to hide it, so he also reported it to the Holy One.

The emperor asked Fu Geng about Fu Jun. After receiving the confirmation, the saint was very angry, and immediately announced that the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment Xu Jin had an audience. Because of Fu Geng and Tang Lone's heart of licking calves, the Holy Majesty ordered the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Criminal Department to investigate the case secretly, and to bring the wicked to justice. Rescue abducted children. He also temporarily appointed Jing Nanbo and Fu Geng as the left and right supervisors of the case, jointly investigated the case, and reported to the Holy Lord at any time.

After a few people left the palace, Jing Nanbo and Xu Jin had a little discussion, and then decided to divide the troops into two routes, with Jing Nanbo leading the soldiers and horses of the five cities to search the whole city, and Xu Jin went to collect clues from the only witness to the case, Fu Si Girl.

The child who had been looking for the city all night was already in a hurry. This morning, he received news from Jing Nanbo that the four girls from the Pingnan Hou Mansion had returned home by luck and should be the only eyewitnesses in this case. Therefore, he begged Xu Jin and Fu Geng. In any case, if you want to follow the Hou Mansion, you must ask about the situation in person.

Seeing that Tang Lonely's situation was pitiful, and his words were extremely sincere, the two of them couldn't bear to refuse, so they took him back to the Hou Mansion directly.

At the same time as Fu Geng and Fu Jun were talking, Xu Jin was accompanied by Hou Ye in the outer study, while Tang Lin and the officials of the Criminal Department were sitting and waiting in the Pinzao Hall. Fu Geng returned to Qiuxi Residence at this time, and he came to take Fu Jun to see Tang Lin and others.

Although the situation is urgent, there is also the Holy Will. However, when I saw my daughter, I was frightened. Before the family could be appeased, they asked the girl to recall the scene last night, and Fu Geng felt very unbearable and a little guilty.

At this moment, he looked at Fu Jun. There was a look of struggle in his eyes, and his expression was very hesitant.

Only then did Fu Jun notice Fu Geng's expression. His twinkling eyes, tight jaw, and the angle at which his cheeks were raised were all indicative of his nervousness and guilt. Fu Jun was slightly surprised, so he asked, "What's wrong with Dad?" What's the matter? ”

Fu Geng sighed slightly, and said softly: "Sister Tang'er almost couldn't go home last night, are you afraid?" ”

"I'm afraid." Fu Jun nodded. Now that I think about it, she did have some fear.

"Actually. There were other children who were lost like Sister Tang last night, and they haven't come home yet. Fu Geng said again.

"What? Are there other children who have been lost? Fu Jun asked in surprise.

She thought that last night was an action against her alone, but now it seems that she was thinking too simply.

Recall that the people who abducted her were divided into three batches, the little girl and the mother-in-law were a group, the Qian Bao and the two were a group, and the yin owl man was another group. A gang of this size, with more skillful methods and tacit cooperation, must be a repeat offender plus a gang to commit crimes.

Even so, it is impossible for these people to go out for Fu Jun alone. Presumably, because the person who calculated her knew about the existence of this gang, he took advantage of the situation when he committed the crime to plot himself. Or take advantage of the opportunity to plot their own crimes and join forces with criminal gangs to commit crimes.

Whatever the reason, Fu Jun felt angry. She abhors the crime of child abduction and trafficking, and she hates human traffickers even more. If in her previous life, she would have dug up this gang by the roots.

At this time, I only heard Fu Geng say again: "Those children can't go home, it's very pitiful." Sister Tang can help them? ”

"Okay." Fu Jun nodded immediately. If she had been older, she would have been able to help more, but unfortunately not now. The only thing she can do at the moment is to provide as many clues as she can in order to help solve the case.

Fu Geng was very satisfied with Fu Jun's attitude, and he knew that his daughter was very sensible. So he said: "Now my father is going to take Sister Tang to the front yard, and there are a few uncles there who want to ask Sister Tang about last night, and Sister Tang will tell them that it's okay?" ”

I see. Fu Jun immediately understood, it seemed that someone from the public/security/department of this era was going to ask her words. Judging from her poor knowledge of current affairs, the people who came to interrogate were either from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division or from the Criminal Department.

Thinking of this, Fu Jun stepped forward and grabbed Fu Geng's hand and said, "I know, dad take me there." She was about to die, and she forgot about it for a while and continued to pretend to be a child, just wanting to tell what she knew as soon as possible and rescue the abducted children as soon as possible.

Fu Geng patted Fu Jun's head lightly, and then ordered Jiquan to open the courtyard door of the small study, and called the two little maids, Qingwu and Qingman, to follow, and the rest were not brought. The father and daughter walked together from the small study to the front lake, and then turned along the hand-copying verandah to the east of the lake, where Pinzao Hall was.

Pinzao Hall was originally a place built by the Hou Ye's vassal Fengya, but at this time, the weather was cold and frozen, and the orchid grass was delicate, and it had already been moved to the warm pavilion for placement. There were three uncles in Fu Geng's mouth, and at this moment, they were sitting by the several pots of orchid grass, anxiously waiting for the appearance of Fu Si girl.

Two of these three people are officials of the Criminal Department, and one is surnamed Zheng Mingdian, although his official position is not high, he is a capable criminal official, especially good at interrogation; The other person's surname is Lu Mingdan, who is a master of shadow graphics. Both of them stood aside, Fu Zhuang sat on the chair on the right, and Tang Lonely sat on the left. (To be continued.) )
