When Xu Mingsu was wielding a leather whip and making a big show on Ling Huxi, Jian Ershao didn't know that the glorious green hat had smashed on the top of his head.

Since it was confirmed that his wife had been robbed, Jian Ershao seemed to be crazy, and wanted to release all the people around him, and promised a heavy reward, whoever could find Ling Huxi would be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.

Fortunately, Uncle De, the semicolon shopkeeper, and the leader of the guards surnamed Zhu were calmer, and while sending out most of the guards and family members, they comforted Jian Ershao. Right now, Ling Huxi is all missing, and he wants to find people out in a big Jiangning City, looking for a needle in a haystack. When the time had passed, the gate of Jiangning City had already been opened, and people might be smuggled out of the city.

Jian Ershao roared for more than half an hour before he slowly calmed down and said in a deep voice, "What do you say? ”

Uncle De said, "With our strength, it is difficult to track down the young lady. Now there are only two ways to go, one is to report to the official, and the other is to find someone to help. ”[

"Reporter?" Jian Ershao's heart twitched. Reporting to the official means that the whole story has been spread. A young and beautiful woman was robbed, everyone knows what it means, and when the time comes, Huxi's reputation will be completely ruined.

Uncle De obviously knew what Jian Er Shao was worried about, and said with a wry smile, "If you don't report to the official, you have to ask the young master to go out and find a friend to help." I heard that there are left and right divisions in the imperial court, which are specifically responsible for probing intelligence, and they are well-informed, if the young master can have friends in this area, he can ask them for help. ”

Jian Ershao immediately thought of Lian Yu and secretly made up his mind. If you can ask the Guogong Mansion to come forward, Lian Yu will definitely be able to help with this.

At this time, the leader surnamed Zhu said, "Young master, I also know that this left division and the right division are the eyes and ears of the saint today, and it is difficult to say whether you can please move it." But now, the young master can only report to the official first, and then go to a friend for help. After all, if you delay for a while, the less lady will be more dangerous. We can rebuild when the building is destroyed, but if the people are gone, we will never be able to find it again. ”

Uncle De's face changed. Compared with others, Uncle De knows better about Ling Huxi's role in Kaibao Qianzhuang, even better than Jian Ershao. He immediately agreed, "Judging from the scene last night, the arsonist and the person who robbed the young lady must be accomplices, and this group is very cunning. Master, I can't think about it that much now. ”

His wife's voice and smile were right in front of him, Jian Ershao gritted his teeth, and immediately ordered, "Uncle De, you take two thousand taels of silver tickets, go to Jiangning Mansion, and let them mobilize all their hands, and they must find out the young lady." ”

Uncle De answered and was about to go out to make arrangements. Suddenly, a maid ran in with a letter and a handkerchief in her hand. In the center of the handkerchief, half of the hairpin is exposed. As soon as Yahuanfang entered the house, he shouted, "Young master, young master, letter!" Young lady! ”

Yahuan was panting, and her words were not smooth, but the things in her hand made Jian Ershao stare at her, this hairpin was a little familiar, as if it was Ling Huxi's. Hearing Yahuan call the young lady again, Jian Ershao stepped forward and snatched the thing from Yahuan's hand.

The hairpin is right, it is Ling Huxi's gold-inlaid jasper hairpin, which was created by Jian Ershao in person last year and given to his wife as a birthday gift.

Something is right, Jian Er Shao hurriedly tore the letter open, and a line of crooked words came into view, "Second Young Master Jian, entrusted by others, loyal to others." Someone gave 5,000 taels of silver and begged Mrs. Ling for a while. Although Yu and Clumsy Jing mingled in the rivers and lakes and made a living at the edge of the knife, they couldn't bear that person's hot hands to destroy the flowers. If the second young master prepares 10,000 taels of silver, Yu will tell Mrs. Ling the news. ”

There is also a line of words under the letter, "Another word: After preparing the silver, send it to the second stone arch under the Youzhou Bridge." Don't sue the official, don't send someone to watch, otherwise your wife's life will be in danger. ”

Jian Ershao's head buzzed, it turned out that someone had taken a fancy to his wife, and the fire at night was just a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. Xiang Zhuang danced the sword, which was intended for Pei Gong, and his wife was the target of others.

Jian Ershao, who was anxious and painful in his heart, immediately turned his eyes to Yahuan, stared at his eyes and shouted, "How did this letter come from?" ”

Yahuan shuddered, hurriedly made it clear, went out to look for the traces of the lady, and when she returned, she met a strong man dressed as a subordinate at the door, asked her if she opened a treasure bank, and then asked her to send the letter to Jian Ershao.

At this time, Uncle De and the leader surnamed Zhu all came over and inquired again.

The leader surnamed Zhu understood the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and immediately said, "Young master, it is clear now that someone hired people from the rivers and lakes and robbed the young lady, but at this moment, I only prepared a silver ticket and went to Youzhou Bridge." ”

"Yes," Uncle De agreed, "we can still use the large silver ticket of our silver village." ”

Jian Ershao nodded, Uncle De is really steady, large silver tickets have fixed numbers, as long as these numbers are sent to each semicolon, when someone redeems, they can track the person who redeemed it. Even if the other party released his own pigeon this time, he could track down a little clue with the silver ticket.

Immediately, Jian Ershao led Uncle De, the leader surnamed Zhu and a large number of guards to go straight to Youzhou Bridge. Of course, Jian Ershao also made a detailed arrangement, which guards were responsible for monitoring and which guards were responsible for containment. Jian Ershao hated the robbers to the core, so naturally he would not honestly follow the instructions in the letter. [

The result was destined to disappoint Jian Ershao, and under the second stone arch of Youzhou Bridge, another letter was found, however, the letter did not inform Jian Ershao of the exact news, but directly reprimanded Jian Ershao's cooperation attitude as dishonest, and attached a wisp of green silk as a warning.

At the end of the letter, another line appeared, telling Jian Ershao that if he still wanted to save people, he would send the silver to the big stone at the entrance of the alley behind the Confucius Temple. The letter also warned that if Jian Ershao was not honest, he would send the rest of Ling Huxi's body parts this time.

The robbers anticipated the enemy's opportunity, Jian Ershao was shocked, and after discussing with Uncle De and others, he didn't dare to make another attempt. I had to arrange a few capable people to follow me, the back alley of the Confucius Temple.

This time, it was still empty. The robbers seemed to be unpredictable prophets, and calculated Jian Ershao's reaction. In the end, Jian Ershao had to follow the instructions on the letter, and only took the leader surnamed Zhu to the "Wanlijia" inn mentioned in the letter.

When Jian Er Shao was mobilized by the robbers, at the "Wanlijia" inn in Lixu, north of the Qinhuai River, a gorgeously dressed young man came down from the No. 2 upper room upstairs and came to the counter with a high spirit.

"What do you command, guest?" The old shopkeeper standing at the counter asked respectfully.

The old shopkeeper is not an ordinary person. His cousin is the eldest lady of the third prince of the Guogong Mansion, although this cousin has long since died, but Xiao Bai still handed over this property to the old shopkeeper to be responsible. In the past six months, due to the appointment of the old Guogong as a lieutenant, the things related to the Guogong Mansion have risen, and the old shopkeeper also feels that his waist is much stronger.

Despite this, the old shopkeeper was very respectful to the generous young man in front of him, nothing else, this young man was too rich. Since he entered the door half an hour ago, he directly occupied the best room of the inn, and threw out one hundred and fifty taels of silver, which was directly wrapped for half a month. Give the guy a reward for two taels of silver.

Those who do business will never be unable to get along with money. Although he privately scolded the young man as a loser, the old shopkeeper still made a respectful statement.

The young man was not ambiguous, he directly took out a letter, and threw out an ingot of five taels of silver, "Shopkeeper, I am in a hurry to go out to meet friends, and after a while, a friend will bring me a box of things, you can collect it for me first, and give him this letter." ”

"Don't worry, Xu Gongzi, I will definitely put things away for you!" The old shopkeeper happily put five taels of silver into his sleeve, and solemnly locked the letter into the cabinet.

"Good! I'll leave this matter to you. The young man opened the painting fan and shook it, and there was a beautiful spring palace on it, which made the old shopkeeper stare at it.

The young man turned around, just took two steps, turned around and took out a name, and shook it towards the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, if I can't come back for a while, I will let someone come to pick up the box of things. ”

The old shopkeeper hurriedly took the name and looked at it carefully, the name on the name was "Xu Mingsu", which was nothing, what shocked the shopkeeper was that this name was exquisite and abnormal, and it was actually made of gold leaf.

After a while, the young man took away his name and staggered out the door, followed by two domestic servants, an old man and a young man.

After walking for about a mile, the three of them walked to a remote place, and the young man hurriedly turned around and bowed his hand, "My lord! ”

"Good job, a little bit of a big stance." The older family patted the young man's shoulder with a smile, then turned his head and said, "Xiaolang, what do you think we should do next?" ”

"Naturally, I will send the name back to Yan San'er and let him act according to the plan, this time I have to stir Jiangning City into a pot of porridge."

It turned out that the people who pretended to be servants were Mu Yu and Song Zheng. As for the pseudonym "Xu Mingsu", Kuo Shao is one of Mu Yu's henchmen. The reason why the three of them went to the "Wanlijia" inn and let the young man take the pseudonym Xu Mingsu was naturally setting up a game, and it was a very exciting game.

Next to Wang Er's house, Yan San'er's two subordinates, one tall and one thin, were sitting in the shade of a tree, looking at a small car in the distance.

Just now, they were sent back here, the same place where they were taken yesterday.

The change in events made them a little unresponsive. They were first caught in a mysterious place (the two naturally didn't know that it was the stronghold of the Right Division) and were interrogated. Neither of them was hard bones, and they all vomited quickly. [

Soon after, something unexpected happened to them. The attitude of those who captured them changed drastically, and one of the leaders even said that "the flood washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family did not recognize the family". Soon, Yan San'er also appeared in person and explained that these people were friends of the young master.

Later, the two were sent back to their original places. Although he was sent back blindfolded, he gave the two twenty taels of silver. As for Yan San'er, he took these friends to see his young master, saying that he would come back soon.

Things were confusing, and the tall man didn't quite understand: "Fatty, tell me, what are these people doing?" Is it really a friend of the young master? ”

"Yan Sanye said yes, let's just listen to the order honestly. What do you care so much about? Just make money with money. The fat man waved his hand impatiently. After a while, the fat man whispered again, "Who is our young master?" It's no wonder what kind of friends you make. Maybe these people were sent by the young master to spy on us to see if we were honest. ”

The tall man thought about it, and seemed to have some sense, so he nodded.

Although the two of them were suspicious, they were still very happy when they shared ten taels of silver each. Soon, the topic of the two turned to pondering which girl to spend the ten taels of silver.

After a stick of incense, Yan San'er returned. The two immediately stepped forward, and the third master said hello to each other. Yan San'er ignored this, waved his hand, and took out a piece of gold leaf from his arms......
