The cold wind swept by, carrying snowflakes on Xie Junhao's cheeks, and it was cold.

All kinds of thoughts swirled back and forth in his heart, and he thought about it for a while, and felt that there were only two ways to go.

The first way is to continue to look for evidence that Cui Wenqing and Gao Neng took Jun Ruoliu away, as long as it can be proved that this matter was indeed committed by them, then there is no doubt that Gao Shiyu's responsibility for kidnapping Gao Neng will be much smaller, and he can also hit Cui Wenqing's weakness, so that Cui Wenqing does not dare to make a mistake easily, and can only obediently submit to the loss.

The second way is to discuss with Zhe Zhao to see if he can resolve the matter privately, so as to reach a settlement, and the big deal is to accompany Gao Neng for some soup and medicine, so that he can withdraw the complaint, so that Gao Shiyu can also be rescued.

It's just that the last method must be a last resort that all methods don't work, and he is unwilling to reconcile with Cui Wenqing if it is unnecessary.

Because Xie Junhao is also a dignified prime minister, if he loses in the hands of Cui Wenqing like this, he will really lose face.

At this time, a servant entered and announced: "Master, the Ministry of Industry Nanshangshu is here." ”

Nan Mingli, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, has always been a staunch supporter of Chen Xuan, and he also has a good relationship with Xie Junhao, hearing the news of his visit, Xie Junhao hurriedly ordered: "Invite Nan Daren to the study." ”

The servant took the order and left, and Xie Junhao also walked out of the back garden and came to the bedroom study.

Although there are a lot of bookshelves in this study, because of the large area occupied, it is not crowded at all, but there is a sense of emptiness, which is Xie Junhao's favorite place to stay.

After instructing the maid in the study to make tea, he sat behind the bookcase and quietly waited for Nan Mingli's arrival.

Soon, the servants brought Nan Mingli in.

"Xie Xianggong, Xia Guan took the liberty to visit today."

"Haha, Brother Nan, don't say that, come, please take a seat. Come on, serve tea. ”

When he sat down, Nan Ming left the door and said, "Xie Xianggong, I came here today because I want to tell you something." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? Xie Junhao knew that it must not be a trivial matter to be able to let a Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, who was a member of the Sanpin Dynasty, come in person.

Nan Mingli said: "It's about Jun Ruoliu's disappearance." ”

Xie Junhao was suffering from the lack of evidence, and when he heard Nan Mingli's words, he suddenly perked up, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Nan Shangshu knows something?" Please also ask Nan Shangshu to come carefully. ”

Nan Mingli nodded, and said solemnly: "At the beginning of this month, the Guozijian Student Union suddenly wanted to come to the Ministry of Industry to visit, and the lower officials were still very curious at that time, but because it was Bachelor Chen's request, the lower officials naturally did not refuse, but on the way to visit, Cui Wenqing and Sima Wei suddenly disappeared for no reason, and the officials reported that they seemed to have gone to the direction of the Library, because there were many drawings of important buildings in the Ministry of Works, so the Lower Officials did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly went to check. ”

"After entering the library, there was nothing unusual on the first and second floors, except for the closed windows of the library on the third floor, and there were ink stains on the floor under one of the bookshelves. At that time, Xia Guan still felt a little strange, the Ministry of Industry Pavilion has been cleaning in a very timely manner, how can there be undried ink on the ground, and how can the windows not be closed? ”

"It wasn't until recently that I learned that Xie Xianggong and your concubine Jun Ruoliu were missing, and if Xia Guan had some understanding, he went to the library to inspect it today, and found that the bookshelf with ink on the side was the bookshelf where the important buildings of Shangshanfang were stored, and the architectural drawings of Xie Xianggong's mansion were also on the bookshelf."

Hearing this, Xie Junhao's pupils suddenly contracted, and he already understood: "You mean, Cui Wenqing, they have flipped through the architectural plan of the Xie Mansion?" Even transcribed a copy to understand the internal structure of the Xie Mansion so that it would be easier to take Jun Ruoliu away? ”

"Quite possibly!" Nan Mingli nodded and said, "Xiaguan carefully looked at that drawing, and found that there was indeed evidence of recent flipping and folding, Cui Wenqing and Sima Wei are seriously suspicious." ”

Xie Junhao pondered for a while with a calm face, and sighed lightly: "But you didn't catch the first, how can you prove that it was Cui Wenqing and the drawings they flipped?" ”

Nan Mingli said regretfully: "At that time, the lower officials didn't think much about it, it was indeed negligent, if they could go to the library to check earlier, the two of them would have nothing to hide." ”

Xie Junhao stood up, walked around the house a few times, and said: "But in this way, I can be sure that Jun Ruoliu must have been taken away by Cui Wenqing and others, but unfortunately Cui Wenqing is quite cunning, and his methods are also very old-fashioned, and he did not leave the slightest evidence, which is really difficult." ”

Nan Mingli reminded: "There is another strange thing, on the day of the fire in Xie Mansion, Cui Wenqing went to fight the fire, but he disappeared halfway, Zhi Zhao thought that he was buried in the fire, and he broke into the fire to look for it, and finally the fire was extinguished, Cui Wenqing appeared, there is a time difference of nearly two hours, it is enough to take Jun Ruoliu and send it to a safe place." ”

Xie Junhao said: "Yes, for today's plan, I can only order the passes around Luoyang City to see if I can find the records of Jun Ruoliu's clearance, but with Cui Wenqing's cunning, I am worried that they will travel with the pass order of the Folding Mansion, even if it is a pass, there is no way to check it." ”

"Then Xie Xianggong, what do you mean?" Nan Mingli asked.

Xie Junhao sneered and said: "Fortunately, Cui Wenqing is a hundred secrets, if Jun Ruoliu goes with the Folding Mansion Token in hand, the place he goes to must be the territory of the Zhenwu Army, but we can be allowed to go and search." ”

Nan Mingli was a little worried: "But now that the road is closed by heavy snow, Luoyang will go to Fuzhou for a month, so after going and coming and the search is delayed, when Jun Ruoliu is found, Gao Shiyu has also been interrogated and sentenced by Bao Zheng." ”

Xie Junhao said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, it's really inconvenient to go to Fuzhou now, but I can find the one with the six doors to help, with his help, the big thing can be decided." ”

Nan Mingli suddenly woke up, and said with a smile: "I forgot that Xie Xianggong, you have a good relationship with the chief manager of the six doors, as long as you can confirm that Jun Ruoliu is in Fuzhou, I believe that with the eyes and ears of the six doors, it should not be difficult to find her." ”

By the time Zhi Zhao and Yang Wenguang returned to Luoyang City on the same road, they had already left for five days.

At this time, it was afternoon, and the two were not in a hurry to go back to their homes, but found a wine shop to chat while eating, and the topic was naturally related to this outing to inspect the Zhichong Mansion.

"Ah Zhao, this time we went out, we went to the Eight Zhichong Mansions, and watched the drills of the soldiers and the preparation of various equipment, I don't know what you think?"

Facing Yang Wenguang's inquiry with the intention of taking the school examination, Zhi Zhao replied with a light sigh: "Grandfather, in fact, if you want me to tell me, the training situation of these government soldiers is not optimistic, and if there is a big war, it is really difficult to take on a heavy responsibility. ”
