Chengdu, Futai Yamen.

Sichuan Governor Zhang Lun had just sent off his colleagues who had come to congratulate him.

Yongning Xuanwei made Hao Chongming, Shuixi Xuanwei and Zhian Bangyan commit rebellion, and the imperial court mobilized troops from Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces, fought for nine years, and finally ended in the "Taohuaba Victory".

Extravagant Chongming and An Bangyan died in battle, and the Yongning Xuanwei Division was permanently revoked by the imperial court, while the young Shuixi Xuanwei envoy An was held hostage by Xuanwei Tongzhi An Bangyan because he was young and ignorant, and the imperial court chose to forgive him, and the official was reinstated, and the Shuixi Xuanwei Division was also retained.

These are all the affairs of the imperial court, and the one who commanded this extremely large-scale and long-term battle was Zhu Xieyuan, the secretary of the military department.

Zhang Lun feasted his colleagues in the yamen because the war ended during his tenure, and as a senior governor of Sichuan, he also supervised military affairs, so the court did not forget his merits.

After a long period of deliberation by the imperial court, under the holy decree yesterday, Zhang Yan was promoted to the right capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate because of his meritorious service in suppressing bandits, and he was only one step away from the Imperial History of the Left Capital, the chief official of the Imperial Procuratorate.

Zhang Lun's happy event is naturally the happy event of his colleagues in Sichuan, he will return to Beijing in the future, at least these colleagues are familiar, so colleagues all came to cheer and personally entered the house to congratulate him.

He was happy for a while, and he toasted his colleagues at night, almost no one refused, and it was even more vigorous than the newlywed entering the cave room, but when the colleagues dispersed one by one, Zhang Lunfang felt the wine surge, drank a few sips of warm tea, and barely suppressed the wine.

The maid served him in a warm bath and sent him into the inner house.

According to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Lun was an official in Sichuan, and he needed to ask the court for his wife and son, and his family members were all in Beijing, but this was not difficult for a high-ranking official like him.

Soon after coming to Chengdu, he accepted a concubine Wu in the local area, Wu is not only young and beautiful, but also has a very competitive belly, under the hard work of Zhang Lun, he gave birth to a son for Zhang Lun not long ago, named Zhang Jing, just after 100 days.

Since coming to Sichuan, Zhang Lun has not only experienced the cave house again, but also caught up with the end of the road of luxury Chongming and An Bangyan, and almost gave him a military merit in vain.

Although Zhang Lun drank a lot of wine today, he was in good spirits on happy occasions, he seemed to be twenty years younger, staggered open the door of Wu's room, and was about to pounce on the bed.

"Master," Wu was sleeping sideways with the baby in his arms, his whole body shrunk in the brocade quilt, revealing only a tender face, which looked more and more delicate in the dim candlelight, "Jing'er has just fallen asleep, be careful not to wake him up......"

"Sir, I'm ...... I'm happy today," Zhang Yan had already faded the thin thick shirt that the maid had just put on him, and threw it hard, and he didn't know where to throw it, "Why didn't Jing'er bring it to the nurse?" ”

"Hey......" Wu sighed lightly, as if he was reluctant, but looking at Zhang Lun's blood-red eyes, how could he not understand in his heart? I had to call the nurse and carry Jing'er to the ear room next door, where Zhang Yan had hurriedly inserted the latch on the door, lifted the thin quilt, and arched it in......

The sky was slightly bright, Zhang Lun was awakened by a knock on the door, Wu yawned, also woke up, and muttered in a low voice: "I just fell asleep, who is making noise outside?" Could it be that Jing'er is restless again? What did the nurse do? ”

"Master, it's not good," a man's voice was outside, it should be a mansion ding, "Jing Gongzi...... Jing Gongzi is gone......"

"Gone?" Zhang Yan shouted: "Stupid, you won't look for it, a three-month-old child, can you still run out of the house?" What a waste of you for nothing! ”

Wu's face changed, his drowsiness disappeared, and he hurriedly got out of bed in the dark, didn't care about dressing up, and rushed to open the door, "Where is the nurse?" What's going on? Did Jing'er find it? ”

"Madame......" The nurse stood in the shadow outside the door, not even daring to raise her head, "slave maid...... The slave maid fed Jing Gongzi last night, so she went to bed early...... I woke up in the middle of the night and was ready to breastfeed Jing Gongzi again, who knows...... Who knew that Jing Gongzi was gone......"

"You're dead, aren't you? Why don't you hurry up and find it? Wu was like an angry Hedong lion, slapping the nurse in the face.

Jing Gongzi is her only son, and in the era when mothers and sons are expensive, they are also her only hope and support, and it has been more than half the night, even if she can find it, I'm afraid it will ...... The child was only three months old, and the more she thought about it, the more afraid she became, and she didn't care about fighting with the nurse, so she rushed to the nurse's house like a gust of wind.

The lights were on in the room, and several servants were rummaging through the cabinets, and one of the maids had crawled under the bed and had a gray face, probably not finding the target, and crawled out of the bed in disappointment.

Seeing the Wu family, everyone seemed to have a backbone, and they all stopped their movements and knelt in front of the Wu family: "Madame......"

Because Zhang Lun's wife is not in Sichuan, the Wu family also enjoys the treatment of a wife, but at this critical moment, she can't take care of these empty names, "Jing'er is only three months old, can she still run out?" ”

She searched the bedside for her own, but still found nothing.

Wu suddenly went to two and a half souls, she was like a madman, her face was in the mud, her eyes were dull, and her long hair that was too late to tie up was scattered on her face, covering half of her eyes, which looked a little gloomy, and after half a sound, she waved her hands and said: "Find, find, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find out my Jing'er...... You shit, stupid, dog minions...... Don't want to find it yet? ”

Zhang Yan had already put on his clothes and got out of bed at this time, and when he saw the chaos in the mansion, he not only frowned and scolded: "You slaves, what are you doing to eat?" Three-month-old babies are not well cared for, what do I want you to do? When I came to the nurse's bedroom, I saw Wu's cloak spreading, like a Taoist aunt who was doing the law, and a deep "three" appeared on her brows.

"Sir...... This ......" a man hurried over, holding a short knife in his hand, and under the hilt, a thing hung down.

"This is Jing'er's belly pocket, the slave ......put it on with his own hands" Wu snatched the belly pocket, and he was already crying: "Master, you have to be the master of the concubine and Jing'er......"

"Where did this come from?" Zhang Yan stared at the short knife and asked, he was shocked and thought about it, could it be that there were assassins in the mansion? Why can't the Assassins get by? If a child is killed, why is there no body?

"Minions...... The slave heard that there was movement in the house, so he went out of the small courtyard, and wanted to come and see, but he didn't expect to just get out of the courtyard gate, and he heard a muffled sound behind him, and when he looked back, there was a short knife on the courtyard door, and there was this belly pocket, and the slave suspected that it was Jing Gongzi, and he didn't dare to stay for a moment......"

"Throwing knives to stay Jane?"

Zhang Yan knew that it was a big trouble, Jing'er was not lost, but stolen by someone, from the perspective of technique, this is a character in the rivers and lakes, he quickly went through it in his mind, and he did not have any enemies in the rivers and lakes.

Who did it? Is it difficult to understand the courage of eating a bear's heart and a leopard?

Zhang Yan couldn't think about it for a while, so he had to take the milky white belly pocket from Wu's hand, unfold it, his face suddenly changed greatly, and his forehead was also oozing sweat, and the other hand pointed to the belly pocket, as if he was holding an unclean thing, his lips squirmed, and he only made a voice in the middle of the sound: "Quick, go to the front and take a look, the official seal ......"

One of the servants hesitated, then rushed out.

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, officials are not allowed to buy real estate in the place of office, and the chief official must live in the yamen on duty, Zhang Lun's residence, that is, the governor's yamen, the front is the hall for handling official business, and the back is his residence, which is very convenient to do official business.

Nafu Ding Buxiao was in a moment, holding a rectangular carved wooden box in his hand, he ran out of breath, and patted his hand on his chest for a while before he made a sound: "Master, it's not good...... Oh no, the official seal ...... The official seal is missing......"

Zhang Lun suddenly fell into the abyss, fell to the side of the wooden chair, his hands and feet were cold, his eyes were in a daze, his face was shrouded in a layer of blue and white, pointing to the carved wooden box, and he wanted to speak, but he couldn't make a sound for a long time.

When Jing'er was lost, he was still able to maintain his usual calm, even if he saw the thief's flying knife and left Jane, knowing that Jing'er was kidnapped, he was not too anxious, the child was lost, and it was found back, that is, the thief tore up the ticket, the big deal was to let the Wu family have another one, anyway, she is still young.

Jing'er is the life# root of the Wu family, but he is not his only one, he still has adult children in Jingshi.

But the official seal is different, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the official seal is the identity certificate of the official, with uniqueness, more important than the black yarn, the official robe, once lost, the dismissal of the official, the heavy arrest and imprisonment.

The Ming Dynasty has the power to hear about rumors, and has always chased after the wind and shadows, causing trouble when nothing happens, and spreading false rumors, if they are caught......

Although Zhang Yan is newly promoted to the right capital of the imperial history, he is the leader of the imperial history, but the Ming Dynasty's officials have two independent systems, in addition to the imperial history, there are still six departments to do things, and they are not subject to the control of the left and right imperial history.

Even the imperial historians are not completely controllable by him, the second-in-command far away from the Beijing Division, and the right capital of the imperial history has an accident, just to make room for others, and beating the water dogs has always been a pleasure for the officials, and Zhang Yan himself has not done it less.

How could such a thing happen to him Zhang Yan? Is it retribution?

"Master, hurry up and save Jing'er, something will definitely happen if it's late......" Wu remembered Jing'er, and didn't know about the loss of the official seal, seeing Zhang Lun sitting on the wooden chair silently, he shook his arm and shouted, a handful of snot and tears, the snot dragged on for a long time, and the rain line hung on Zhang Lun's official robe.

"Get out, you stinky bitch, you know how to cry, cry ......" Zhang Yan pushed Wu away, he was upset, Wu's crying only made him more annoyed, and he was tired of it out of thin air, this girl, I really don't know the general situation, the official seal has been lost, but he only cares about his children, the child and the official seal, which one is more important?

Wu seemed to have lost her soul, her body was already weak, she was still reluctant to stand, she was pushed by Zhang Yan, and suddenly fell to the ground, she first kicked her feet around, and shouted like a shrew: "Jing'er, my Jing'er......"

However, seeing that all the slaves were the same as Zhang Yan, they did not say a word, but hurriedly stopped crying, and swept their eyes over the faces of everyone, hoping to find any clues.
