Several people in the room were silent, and finally Yao Fangyu spoke: "When I heard that Ah Jin was in Pingyang, I started to think. I don't know who spread the news, but I think that even if Ah Jin is not in the Nangong Mansion in Pingyang, he is still around Pingyang. He couldn't get to Jingzhou. ”

"There will always be blockages, and it really won't get there." It was Cheng Zhaofeng who spoke.

"Find him. We talked about that last time. Yao Fangyu said: "In addition, it is good to help him eliminate the crime." ”

Fu Qingshuang looked at Li Songran, who was speechless, "I heard the people in Mingyuezhuang say that this matter is related to their family. I don't know those relatives of the Pu family. ”

"Presbyterian?" Li Songran replied.

Yao Fangyu shook her head, "This funeral is very strange. Most of them were stopped in the outer courtyard. Only the family can enter the inner courtyard......

"Yes." Li Songran seemed to think of something, "There are a lot of people from the side branch, and they keep asking the eldest cousin about his own family, and I feel that the eldest cousin is not in the mood to socialize." ”

Fu Qingshuang thought about it, couldn't think of anything, and said directly: "If you want me to say, it's better not to guess, I'll go back to Pingyang to find it." No matter who did it, according to Mingyuezhuang, Ah Jin is in the house. Perhaps, Xiaowan and Ah Pu know. ”

"Also, a few days ago, most of the parishions decided that if the Council of Elders was abolished, they would obey the orders of the eldest cousin." Li Songran took out Nangong Jin's jade pendant and handed it to Yao Fangyu.

Yao Fangyu looked at it, but returned it to Zhao Fengming, "I also want my father-in-law to sit in the formation." I want to go to the capital, and Ajin has a lot of friends in Beijing. I wonder why Kyochu did this? ”

"To the capital? It can be dangerous. Zhao Fengming was not at ease.

"Ah Jin is afraid that it is more dangerous." Yao Fangyu looked at Li Songran and said worriedly: "I am not familiar with the house, but I know that my in-laws are very tolerant and kind." I know I shouldn't say anything behind people's backs, but my sister-in-law ....... Can you trouble Songran to go back with Fu Gongzi? ”

Fu Qingshuang interjected with a smile: "Are you worried that I will check too much and be driven out by Shen Xueying?" He turned his head to look at Li Songran again, "It makes sense, your eldest cousin is not easy to say." As long as you don't look like you're looking for someone when you go back, it's easier than me to find it. ”

This sentence made Cheng Zhaofeng nod his head in agreement.

Li Songran sighed lightly, "There is also the cause of my aunt's death, but I don't suspect anyone in the family." The sister-in-law may be in a hurry this time, but she has always been low-key and polite. ”

"That's why I want you to go." Fu Qingshuang patted him on the shoulder, "In case Ah Jin is really hidden in the mansion, it will be dangerous in a day." ”

"Big cousin won't treat him like that." Li Songran defended his family.

"yes, maybe your eldest cousin doesn't know either? I also believe in Pu as a person, but sometimes he trusts people too easily. Fu Qingshuang added.

"Okay, that's it. Fu Gongzi and Songran returned to Pingyang. I went to the capital, and in half a month at most, we met in Binh Duong. Yao Fangyu looked at the two of them and pleaded: "You must find out Ah Jin, he is not in good health, and I am a little worried about him." ”

When the decision was made, everyone left the study and prepared their own meals. Yao Fangyu also wanted to leave, but was stopped by Zhao Fengming, avoiding everyone and saying privately: "Gao Changjing didn't go to Pingyang this time, I know that Pingyang has always thought that the four halls in the north have become scattered sand, and it is almost impossible to return." In addition, there was a decision to withdraw the hall before, and it is estimated that the eldest prince will not include the four halls under the Nangong Gate again. I think if Fang Wei also thinks that it is okay, from now on, Gao Changjing's military expenditure will be paid by us. This is a lot of money, but it is not a big problem to raise it for a year and a half. ”

This is to gather the four halls and raise troops for Nangong Jin. Yao Fangyu smiled and said to Zhao Fengming: "It's good that my father-in-law decides." ”

Since Zhou Tang's funeral, Cheng Rui seems to have become more naughty, from time to time he will run alone in the courtyards of the house, and often go to Cheng Jun's yard to play, and occasionally Cheng Jun will take him to fish and catch birds in the house, but he did not cause chaos for the adults.

"Brother, I've been to see all the yards in the house, including the kitchen, but there's nothing." Cheng Rui looked at Cheng Jun anxiously, "Didn't Uncle come back?" ”

"No way, I've heard it all." Cheng Jun said affirmatively.

Cheng Rui pouted, "You said you heard your uncle's voice?" Why didn't I hear it? ”

"You sleep like a dead pig every night, and you won't wake up if you are thrown into the river." Seeing Cheng Rui's aggrieved face, he softened his tone, "Someone must have heard it too, otherwise there would be no news of Master's return." ”

Cheng Jun took out some food and sour plum juice to Cheng Rui, and said, "Come, let's sort out what you see again." Saying that, the picture on the table was actually a detailed map of Zhang Nangong's mansion, and its fineness was not like Chengjun's painting, but more like copying the drawings when the house was built.

Cheng Rui said while eating, and after a while, Cheng Jun wrote down several pages, and also learned from Nangong Jin's appearance, and pasted it to the corresponding place on the picture. "Last time we went to the West Courtyard......"

"Yes, yes," Cheng Rui interjected, "The door of the West Courtyard has not been opened until now, and I heard from my mother that my aunt will not come back." ”

"By the way, did you tell your dad that you wanted a yard?"

"I've said it countless times. Don't worry, I'll definitely be going to the West Courtyard. "Cheng Rui looks at ease when I do things," It's just that my father doesn't seem to be free, and you said not to mention it to your mother. ”

"So, the places we haven't looked for now are those courtyards, Qiming Hall, and the back mountain that are still under construction?" Cheng Jun looked at the picture and asked himself.

"It's almost, but, brother, ......" Cheng Rui looked at Cheng Jun and said with some fear: "Houshan, I don't want to go alone." ”

Cheng Jun glanced at him, "Got it." As if he had made up his mind, he said to himself, "Master must be in the house, and we will definitely be able to find it." ”

Beijing, Jinyi Guard Command Post.

This time, Yao Fangwei finally persuaded Zhao Fengming not to send someone to protect her, but she also knew that Jingzhou would definitely arrange someone to protect her, but she couldn't care about it.

Originally, it was Qian Bin who asked to see her, but it was Yang Junqing who received her.

"Hey, Nangong Jin is really good to Madame." Yang Junqing shook his head with a smile, "I really don't hide anything." ”

Yao Fangyu smiled and asked, "Lord Qian is not here?" ”

"He's ......" Yang Junqing said meaningfully: "His subordinates have made mistakes, and his responsibility is greater." Suspension investigation is ongoing. ”

"Ah Jin?" Yao Fangyu asked.

"Pretty much because of him." Yang Junqing wanted to dispel her idea of seeing Qian Bin, and said bluntly: "You don't have to think about seeing him." Before, Nangong Jin's identity had been completely exposed, and we checked it, it was a pen paste for the file, and he had been selling these rosters for money. Of course, this person is in prison, and of course Lord Qian is responsible. However, he is not only this one, but also Ling Zheng. ”

"Ling Zheng?" This person, Yao Fangyu really knows, could it be that Ling Zheng is also ......?

"We want him internally. This person forged a lot of documents and deceived Tianchengwei, Lu Beijun, and Nangong Clan. It's a pity that after he left Tianchengwei, he disappeared. This man is also a loner, alas...... It's hard to find. Yang Junqing was extremely helpless.

"Why would he do that?" Yao Fangyu didn't understand, obviously Ah Jin was very good to him.

"Dissatisfaction with the transfer." Yang Junqing laughed after saying these four words.

"Then now that Ah Jin's innocence can be proven, why don't you withdraw the wanted notice?" This is the biggest purpose of Yao Fangyu's visit to the capital, no matter what, so far, Yang Junqing seems to be very easy to say.

"No, you can't. It can only prove that Lu Beijun is innocent, so let Feng Yue and them go first. Probably Yang Junqing also knew that Yao Fangyu didn't care about this, and then asked: "Nangong Jin is in Pingyang?" ”

"If he is in Binh Duong, can you send someone to save him?" Yao Fangyu asked.

Yang Junqing thought about it in embarrassment, but still shook his head, "This is very difficult." ”

"So, can you ...... For example, at least change the wanted crime and reduce the bounty to less than two hundred taels? Yao Fangyu also took a step back.

Yang Junqing laughed, "You Pingyang have a reward of 8,000, whether you live or die, we only need to live." Those bounty hunters can't take our bounty anymore. ”

Yao Fangyu was stunned, but she didn't know that Pingyang would do this.

"It seems that you don't know?" Yang Junqing looked at her carefully, "Let's do it, say something that reassures you." At least I believe that Nangong Jin has not done those things, and there are people in the DPRK who believe in it, and they also help to withdraw the wanted notice. However, I thought about it, if Nangong Jin wants to do this business in the future, it is not impossible, but it can only be not among our Jinyi guards. So this wanted is also to draw a line between him and the government. ”

Hearing this, Yao Fangyu couldn't cry or laugh, "He still has to run Xiangji in his own name, if he doesn't withdraw the wanted and don't correct his name, then he can only be a fugitive, how can he run Jingzhou and Xiangji?" ”

Yang Junqing was stunned for a moment, "Yes, this makes sense." "I have money in Xiangji." Can you find Nangong Jin? ”

"In this situation, I have almost no choice, but the later it is, the more dangerous Ah Jin becomes." Yao Fangyu said.

Yang Junqing frowned and said: "There has been a situation in Tatar recently, I think, if he can still go, it is better to go." ”

"Tatar?" Yao Fangyu's brows also furrowed.

"Don't worry, Junyuan is also over there, and he won't lie to him." Yang Junqing said.

"I can only believe Lord Yang, but Ah Jin's whereabouts are unknown, if I can be accommodating, maybe I can do things for everyone after I find it." Yao Fangyu smiled faintly.

Yang Junqing shook his head, "What you said is not quite right." ”

"Okay, it's okay if you don't withdraw the wanted notice for the time being, and you don't help." Yao Fangyu continued: "But to save Ah Jin, I definitely can't do it alone. ”

"What do you want?"

"It's not good, anyway, you want him to go to Tatar, and the wanted is so crazy, so I can only go and ask Long You to regret saving people." Yao Fangyu smiled slightly.

"Huh?" Yang Junqing didn't understand at first, and then laughed, "I knew that he had colluded with Long Youregret!" ”

"Collusion or not, I don't know. Didn't Lord Yang think I had a good idea? Yao Fangyu's expression was full of confidence.

Yang Junqing thought carefully for a while, but still nodded, "When he comes back from Tatar, I will withdraw the wanted notice." ”

Fu Qingshuang and Li Songran, who returned to Pingyang, went separately to find clues in the house, but they had no clue. Finally, Fu Qingshuang couldn't help but ask Nangong Pu. It's just that I didn't expect Nangong Pu to acquiesce to whether Nangong Jin was in the mansion, but asked Fu Qingshuang to leave it alone.

"Where did you lock Ah Jin?" At night, Nangong Pu lay on the bed and gently removed the veil from Shen Xueying.

"At this time, you ask this?" Shen Xueying said dissatisfied.

Qingshuang and Songran heard the rumors and asked. Ah Jin is not in good health, and I am worried about whether he was injured before. If so, call a doctor for him. Nangong Pu hugged Shen Xueying and asked gently.

Hearing this, Shen Xueying lost interest, and just cooperated: "Don't worry, he's fine, it's fine." In addition, they searched in the house, but they could not find it. I had sent him out of the city a long time ago, and only I knew about that place. When you are the patriarch, we will find out the truth together. ”

Nangong Pu also seemed to be aware of Shen Xueying's attitude, and stopped asking.

It has been a long time since he left the Houshan dungeon, and Cheng Rui's face is still white.

The dungeon is more like a strange chimney, and from the outside, it looks like the chimney of a small dilapidated stone house.

The small stone house is in the shade at the foot of the back mountain, as if it is built in a mountain recess. According to Cheng Rui's opinion, this place is not even a house, it is just a random pile of stones, moss everywhere, dark and damp.

But in this place, which even the Tatars had not discovered, there was a hunchback with white skin and hair, and he could hardly leave this stone house, and lived here like a ghost.

If it weren't for Chengjun's feeling that this mossy chimney really didn't look like a chimney, the two would not have been curious for a while, climbed up the tree, and found that this chimney actually had a cast iron reticulated hollow lid.

It took the children two days to stealthily break one of the rusty iron railings on the lid, and of course, not to be spotted by the white-haired hunchback in the house.

The gap can only be drilled into with a sharp body. However, Cheng Rui looked at the opening of this black hole and refused to enter. After another day, Cheng Jun got a few fire folds, six or seven zhang long hemp rope, plus all kinds of food bribes, Cheng Rui finally agreed to lean in to take a look.

But this time, I saw Nangong Jin.

The inside of this 'chimney' is not like the outside is only three feet above the ground, but ten feet. The hemp rope prepared by Cheng Jun was not in the end, but it could also make Cheng Rui clearly see that Nangong Jin was lying on his side on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

The two children packed up all their things and quickly ran back to Chengjun's Fangzhou Garden.

Cheng Rui drank the hot milk, still trembling and asked, "What should I do?" Shall we go to Daddy? ”

Chengjun sat stunned, thinking about the recent events, feeling unclear, and took out a pen and paper to write down the information he knew one by one, and after writing, he looked at what he wrote, and whispered: "Sister Hao'er will definitely say that it is to be the patriarch." But my father must be the patriarch, and the master will definitely leave Pingyang, why do you want to do this? ”

"Brother, did you say that my mother poisoned my grandmother?" Cheng Rui asked with fear on his face.

Chengjun frowned and did not answer.

"What should I do? Uncle down there, he, he...... I don't know ...... him," Cheng Rui asked anxiously.

Chengjun was also anxious, but restrained himself and whispered, "We can't save Master." ”

"But, Dan ......, Sister Hao'er and Uncle Xiao Du have returned to Zhuangjiabao, who can we go to?" Cheng Rui whispered. "Oh, Uncle Cousin and Uncle Fu are back, are we looking for them?"

Cheng Jun was silent, and said categorically: "It must be foolproof!" We don't know who to believe, but my wife can believe it. ”

"Ah, you said auntie?" Cheng Rui said again: "But she is in Jingzhou." ”

"Let's go to Jingzhou!"

"That, that uncle......" Cheng Rui knew that Jingzhou was not close, and he was worried again.

"So we have to hurry!"

Cheng Rui's eyes lit up, anyway, they had experience after going out once.

When Yao Fangyu arrived in Binh Duong, she didn't know about the children's decision. I visited my brother and sister-in-law first, and the reason for finding it was that I wanted the drawings of the West Courtyard, and I wanted to make a similar one in Jingzhou and wait for Ah Jin to come back.

This reason, everyone knows, is just an excuse. Shen Xueying simply and generously invited Yao Fangyu to stay in the West Courtyard for a few more days, but Yao Fangyu politely refused.

But Yao Fangwei's actions let many people know that she arrived in Pingyang. As soon as she returned to the inn from the house, she saw Du Ling who came in a hurry, but Du Ling had a lot of pomp and circumstance, followed by the guards of Zhuangjiabao and Pingyang Mansion.

After the two talked secretly in the room for a quarter of an hour, Du Ling also stayed at this inn. However, Yao Fangyu was waiting for Cheng Jun and Cheng Rui outside the door.
