Two days later, Fang Yuan and his party packed their bags, as well as more than 20 girls they bought, and prepared to return to the capital the next day.

Fang Yuan ordered Qin Zhan to urge Tian Hongyu, but Tian Hongyu was missing, according to the maid who was waiting, he had not been seen for a day, and even the entourage who came with him, as well as several large boxes of gold and silver, were also missing.

Qin Zhan went to ask the guard guarding the door again, and the guard guarding the door said that Tian Hongyu and his party left the peach garden overnight last night.

Fang Yuan estimated that Tian Hongyu should have gone to the private collection of gold and silver transferred to the south, and he didn't care too much.

At noon, Xu Hua, the owner of the Peach Garden, hurried over, and when he saw Fang Yuan, he knelt on the ground, and kept talking, "Master Fang, why are you untrustworthy!" ”

Fang Yuan didn't understand what had happened, so he hurriedly helped him up, "Master Xu, something happened?" ”

Xu Hua was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, crying with a sad face, "Yuanyuan, she was snatched away!" ”

Fang Yuan looked at him in amazement, a woman was snatched away, she didn't go to the Suzhou government to report the case, what did she do when she came to find Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei is in charge of finding missing persons?

Xu Hua saw that he didn't seem to know anything, and said, "Master Fang, the one who snatched Yuanyuan was Tian Guozhang who came with you, and he also sent someone to leave a message to say that it was Fang Ye, you arranged it!" ”

Fang Yuan was really taken aback at this time, no wonder Tian Hongyu suddenly disappeared, it turned out that he had robbed Chen Yuanyuan with his own hands and left overnight.

Xu Hua grabbed Fang Yuan's hand and said, "Master Fang, if you didn't do it, you can find Yuanyuan for me!" I will give five hundred taels of silver, oh no, a thousand denarii. ”

Fang Yuan, who was framed for no reason, was furious, he didn't want to get involved in these things about buying and selling beauties, and a mere thousand taels of silver couldn't buy him.

But Tian Hongyu made it clear that he was deliberately muddying the water, preparing to throw the black cauldron on Fang Yuan's back.

The Qinglou brothel is the most well-informed and fastest-spreading place, not to mention that Chen Yuan is also a famous prostitute in Jiangnan. If you ignore it, within a few months, the entire Suzhou Mansion, Jiangnan, and even the capital can be spread all over the Jinyiwei, and it is Fang Yuan who robbed Chen Yuan, a famous prostitute in Suzhou.

If it is said that the burning of Qianyun Tower is still the officialdom grudge between Jinyiwei and the Donglin Party, and has nothing to do with the common people, then the peach-colored lace news of robbing famous prostitutes is enough to attract the attention of the people and ruin his reputation in Jiangnan.

If it is transmitted to the capital, how can he still raise his head and behave? If the official is impeached again, what other career can he have?

It's a matter of face and reputation, he has to take care of it!

The black pot will never be carried back!

Chen Yuan, he must be found back and returned to the Peach Garden, and the mouth of Youyou must be calmed!

As for the consequences of offending Tian Hongyu, Fang Yuan didn't have time to think about it, Tian Hongyu secretly hid at least 40,000 taels of gold, as well as countless gold, silver and jewelry, and even transferred his family property to the south is the biggest trick, the big deal is to break the net and hurt each other in front of Chongzhen!

Fang Yuan had already made a plan, comforted Xu Hua a few words, and angrily summoned Qin Zhan and Jing Jie.

He concisely explained the situation of Chen Yuan being snatched away by Tian Hongyu, Qin Zhan listened to it, and said straight to the point, "The grandfather of the country is preparing to take his head into the water, and the news that Chen Yuan was robbed has spread, and when the public says that the public is reasonable, the mother says that the mother is reasonable, and Jin Yiwei has indeed bought a lot of girls to return to the capital, and the head of this black pot is determined." ”

He analyzed it well, it was the same as Fang Yuan's thoughts, and it strengthened Fang Yuan's idea of regaining Chen Yuan, and it must be as soon as possible, the longer the time drags on, the less likely it is to recapture Chen Yuan.

Fang Yuan immediately assigned their respective tasks to the two.

"Fourth, you immediately take someone to the Suzhou Mansion Jinyi Guard to find out if there is any information about the family property of the national abbot Tian Hongyu, and find a place that can accommodate two carriages and pile up a large amount of gold and silver."

"Jing Jie, you take a few Jinyi guards to visit the neighborhood and see if there are any clues about Tian Hongyu and his party."

The two of them went together.

Fang Yuan and Xu Hua sat together, sipping tea while waiting for the return of the two.

Xu Hua was worried about Chen Yuan's safety, his soul was restless, and he had no intention of drinking tea.

Fang Yuan ignored him, and tasted the tea by himself, these Jiangnan spring teas that had just been on the market were fragrant and exclaimed from time to time.

Three hours later, Qin Zhan, who went to Jinyiwei's investigation to investigate, returned to Taoyuan first, and reported, "According to Jinyiwei's reliable information, Tian Guozhang can park a carriage in Suzhou Mansion and stack gold and silver, a total of three large courtyards, respectively in the commercial market in Leqiao in the west of the city, the residential square in the east of the city, and the vicinity of the Chengbei Mansion. ”

Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "Wait for Jing Jie's news!" After all, Tian Hongyu is the father-in-law of the country, and he can't be searched without full certainty. Moreover, if he startled the snake by hitting the grass, in order to cover up the scandal, he transferred Chen Yuan to a place unknown to anyone, and even killed people to kill him, and he could not find it again. ”

After another hour, it was already dusk, Jing Jie and his party finally returned to Taoyuan, bringing first-hand information from the visit, there were people who saw two big carriages and three ox carts driving into the commercial market of Leqiao in the west of the city, and they did not come out again.

As soon as Qin Zhan and Jing Jie's information was summarized, Fang Yuan concluded that Tian Hongyu was hiding in the courtyard of Leqiao Commercial City.

He ordered Qin Zhan to mark the detailed address of the courtyard of the commercial market, and then ordered Jing Jie and a few nimble Jinyi guards to go first to find out whether Tian Hongyu was really hiding in the courtyard of the commercial market.

At night, after the investigation, Jing Jie brought back detailed information again, Tian Hongyu's courtyard in the commercial market was brightly lit, and there was a faint melodious vocal music, as well as the sound of women laughing.

Tian Hongyu is indeed hiding in the business market!

Fang Yuan ordered Qin Zhan and Jing Jie to call all the brocade guards, set off in full gear, and secretly went to the commercial market, waiting for an opportunity to save people.

On the branches of the moon, it has reached the second watch, most of the shops in the commercial market have been closed, only countless green buildings, brothels are still brightly lit, and the ** people who are showing flowers and branches are greeting the guests at the door.

Fang Yuan and his party flashed in front of the green buildings, so frightened that the old bustard who was soliciting guests at the door did not dare to squeak.

Fang Yuan led everyone to the gate of the courtyard of Tianfu, the courtyard had already been closed, only the two red lanterns at the door were still glowing with dim firelight, and when they listened to it, they no longer heard the sound.

Since he tore his face with Tian Hongyu, if he wanted to rescue Chen Yuan, he had to arrange carefully, hit with one blow, and never let Tian Hongyu escape with someone again.

Fang Yuan summoned Jing Jie to explain the task in a low voice, "Go check how many doors are there in and out of the courtyard?" ”

Jing Jie was motionless, and immediately reported, "I have already explored, there are two gates in the front and back of the courtyard, and there is a small gate in the east corner. ”

Fang Yuan was very satisfied with Jing Jie's meticulous work, and patted him on the shoulder affectionately, "Okay!" Well done! Immediately you took people to seal all the gates, and not a single mosquito or fly flew out. ”

Jing Jie was busy with ten brocade guards, guarding in front of the three gates, closely monitoring.

Fang Yuan arranged everything, and Tian Hongyu was unable to fly even if he had wings, so he called Qin Zhan, and asked him to call open the gate under an excuse, and then control the guards who opened the door, and then the Jinyi guards entered together and caught Tian Hongyu off guard.

Qin Zhan summoned a brocade-clothed guard with a raw face, and asked him to take off his cotton armor and knock on the door.

Fang Zheng arranged for the Jinyi guard to hide in a hidden place to avoid being seen by the people in the courtyard, and he was prepared in advance.

"Knock knock!"

"Knock knock!"

Qin Zhan knocked for at least ten minutes, and the wooden door finally opened.

Two men in servant outfits poked their heads out and asked, "Who?" ”

Qin Zhan, who was hiding behind the door, didn't say a word, and pulled a servant with the Jinyi guard who knocked on the door, covered his mouth tightly, and fell to the ground.

Qin Zhan pinched a person's neck, embroidered the spring knife across his neck, and asked sharply, "Is Tian Hongyu in the courtyard?" ”

When the servant saw that it was the Jinyi guard who came to the door, he was even more stabbed by the knife on his neck, and his face was so frightened that his face was like death, and he said in a loud voice, "Yes, yes." ”

Qin Zhan asked again, "Is Chen Yuan here?" ”

The servant nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Yes, yes." ”

Qin Zhan pressed to find out the true news, looked at Fang Yuan, and waited for his fate.

Fang Yuan assigned the task of the two in a low voice, "Fourth, you escort one person to find out the gold, silver and jewelry that Tian Hongyu has in his private collection, and you can't let go of any of them, I will lead someone to rescue Chen Yuan." ”

His principle of being a man and doing things is that it is best to maintain harmony on face, since Tian Hong is unkind first, he should not blame him for being unrighteous later. Tearing the skin, it will be bigger, Tian Hongyu's gold and jewelry must be confiscated!

Fang Yuan gave an order, and a group of wolf-like brocade guards, escorting two servants, entered Tian Hongyu's mansion together.
