Chapter Forty-Seven: The Boudoir Breaks
Wei Ziyang heard Steward Yuan say this, and suddenly stood up, looked at Steward Yuan with a solemn face and asked, "Steward Yuan, don't panic, speak slowly." ”
The surrounding tenant farmers were also unconsciously shocked when they heard the news, wasn't this Miss Chen still good yesterday, why can't she say it today? They were also curious, and listened attentively to the next words of this Steward Yuan.
Steward Yuan took a big breath, patted his chest with his hand, and then said in a panic: "This morning, the master was going to have breakfast with the eldest lady, but he didn't wait for the young lady to come, so he asked the maid to go to the young lady's room to have a look." ”
"It's good not to look at it, but when I look at it, I find that Miss is such a big living person, and she is gone. The maidservant was very alarmed, and went to tell the lord the news. When the old man heard this, he was also very frightened, so he went to the lady's boudoir to check, and later found a letter on the makeup of the lady's boudoir. ”
When Wei Ziyang heard this, his brows furrowed even more, and an ominous feeling rose in his heart, and he faintly felt that this matter was a little serious.
Sure enough, Steward Yuan looked at Wei Ziyang's face, hesitated slightly, and said intermittently: "The letter says...... said that the young lady was kidnapped by them, and asked the master to bring 5,000 taels of gold, the former ...... Go and redeem people. As...... If you don't, you'll ...... I'm going to collect the body of the young lady. After finishing speaking, Steward Yuan was a handful of snot and tears, making a very sad appearance.
When everyone heard Steward Yuan's words, they couldn't help but gasp, and some even couldn't help but let out a "ah".
Good guy, who dares to openly kidnap Miss Chen and ask for ransom. This is Ya County, the Chen family is a famous family in Ya County, who would dare to provoke the Chen family?
And the Chen family has always been kind to people, although it is a wealthy family, but there is no shelf, whether it is to treat rich gentry, county officials, or ordinary businessmen, farmers or market people, it is all good and has nothing to say, who did this? What grievances does he have with the Chen family?
Without waiting for everyone to think carefully, Steward Yuan immediately hurriedly said: "Ziyang, go to the house and take a look, the master is in a hurry." ”
When Wei Ziyang heard this, he nodded, first turned around, and instructed the group of tenant farmers: "Don't panic, don't panic, do what you are doing first, and wait for me to come back." Then, without waiting for the tenant farmers to react, they followed Steward Yuan is way all the way to the Chen Mansion in the county seat.
Thinking of the scene when Chen Yun'er accompanied him all the way last night, and the back he left in front of Chen's mansion at the end, Wei Ziyang couldn't help but settle down in his heart.
"You must not be fine." Wei Ziyang thought in his heart.
After a short time, the two of them hurried to the gate of Chen's mansion in this county, and Wei Ziyang saw that he had arrived at the ground, so he immediately turned over and dismounted and walked towards Nafu, looking very anxious.
I saw that the Chen Mansion, which was once very harmonious, was shrouded in rain and fog at this time, and the people were silent one by one, just looking at Wei Ziyang who rushed in, looking at each other and not knowing what to say.
Wei Ziyang ignored them and went directly into the lobby. After entering, I saw the old man of the Chen family sitting on the high hall with a sad face, one hand supporting his chin, and the other hand pressing his temple, and sighing again and again, revealing a very distressed appearance.
The old man of the Chen family's full name is Chen Zhong, he is in his fifties this year, he is old and has a daughter, not to mention, there is only this one baby girl, but now he has been kidnapped by gangsters, and his life is in danger at any time, which makes him suddenly panicked in his heart, and he doesn't want to think about it, so he has to wait for Wei Ziyang to come and get an idea.
Seeing this, Wei Ziyang paused, and then bowed his hand to the old man of the Chen family and said, "Master, I'm here." ”
When the old man of the Chen family heard this, he raised his head and saw Wei Ziyang standing in the middle of this hall, and hurriedly got up and said to Wei Ziyang: "Ziyang, you are here." ”
When Wei Ziyang heard this, he hugged his fists again and said to the old man of the Chen family: "Ziyang heard that Miss was kidnapped, so he didn't dare to delay the slightest time. Sir, what are the details? Why was the young lady kidnapped? ”
When Chen Zhong heard this, his face was sad, and after a long sigh, he immediately took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Wei Ziyang. While handing it over, he said: "I don't know why, my Chen family has been in Ya County for many years, but I haven't offended anyone, and I don't know why that person kidnapped the little girl." ”
Wei Ziyang opened the letter and took a closer look, and saw that the letter was already yellowed with a few big characters written on it.
"Miss Chen has been kidnapped by me, if you want Miss Chen to return safely, prepare 5,000 taels of gold, tonight the third watch is on Dongshan Mountain, hand over the money and hand over the person, remember, only one person is allowed to come, if there is a difference, and wait to collect the body of Miss Chen."
After Wei Ziyang read it, he couldn't help frowning, and touched his chin with his right hand, as if he was thinking about something.
After a pause, he said to Chen Zhong, "Can I go to Miss's boudoir to have a look?" ”
When Wei Ziyang said this, he was also a little embarrassed in his heart, this ancient woman's boudoir is not something that anyone can enter, especially the boudoir of an unmarried woman, not to mention that he is an outsider, even if Chen Zhong wants to go in, he must discuss it with Chen Yun'er.
When Chen Zhong heard this, he didn't react, and agreed without thinking: "Of course you can." ”
When Wei Ziyang heard this, he was suddenly stunned in his heart, he didn't expect this Chen Zhong to agree so quickly, but now is not the time to think about this, he arched his hand to Chen Zhong, and followed the old man of the Chen family to Chen Yun'er's boudoir.
Although Wei Ziyang felt a little surprised in his heart, this Chen Zhong was not strange at all, he had already given Wei Ziyang as his future son-in-law in his heart, so why should this future son-in-law want to enter his daughter's boudoir?
Chen Zhong was born in a famous family, but he does not have the concept of a famous family, although Wei Ziyang is a small farmer, he does not look down on it at all, and always thinks that Wei Ziyang will definitely achieve a great career in the future. Of course, Wei Ziyang really didn't disappoint him, this terrifying black tiger that stirred up the entire Yaxian County was dead in the hands of Wei Ziyang, and Wei Ziyang was appreciated by the emperor for this.
That's the emperor, the dignified Ninety-Five, the lord of Great Wei, this own daughter will follow Wei Ziyang in the future, isn't there a good way out?
Although Wei Ziyang is now poor and white, it is not impossible to recruit him as a son-in-law.
Wei Ziyang didn't know what this old man of the Chen family was thinking, all he wanted now was to hurry up and check if there were any clues left in this Chen Yun'er's room, so that he could identify the kidnappers as soon as possible.
Wei Ziyang asked as he walked, "But did the master tell the government about this?" ”
When Chen Zhong heard this, he immediately replied: "I have already asked someone to tell me, and now it is estimated that I am on the way here." ”
When Wei Ziyang heard this, he bowed his head and didn't speak. After a while, he came to the boudoir of Chen Yun'er.
Wei Ziyang slowly opened the door, and was greeted by a unique fragrance in the woman's room, which made Wei Ziyang stunned, came back to his senses, and walked in with great strides.
Chen Yun'er's room is very clean, although she is in the home of a famous gentry, there is no sense of luxury. Looking around, the tables and chairs carved from fine sandalwood in the room were delicately carved with different patterns, revealing the delicate and gentle feelings of the daughter's family; There are a few plum blossoms placed next to the bamboo window, which are particularly beautiful in winter; The gentle and serene bed was surrounded by a thin layer of cyan silk veil, revealing a kind of mystery; On the opposite side is a desk made of rosewood, on which are placed a few pieces of rice paper, and on the side there are also finely polished ink treasures and a few calligraphy and paintings, elegant and dignified.
When Wei Ziyang saw this appearance, he couldn't help frowning again, and without saying a word, he began to think carefully.
Seeing that Wei Ziyang was starting to stop talking, Chen Zhong was also quite puzzled, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's wrong, what did you find?" ”
Wei Ziyang paused slightly, and then bowed his hand to the old man of the Chen family and said: "Master, if this kidnapper forcibly kidnapped Miss, then there should be some traces of struggle in Miss's room at this time, but seeing this appearance now, it doesn't look like a scene of fighting." ”
"Then you mean ......"
Wei Ziyang nodded slightly and said, "If my expectations are correct, the kidnappers should have used some means to make the young lady fall asleep before taking her away." ”
"I just looked at the window paper, and found a few tiny holes in it, and I think the kidnappers must have used some kind of lethargic incense to stun the young lady before kidnapping her."
"Oh?" When Chen Zhong heard this, he also frowned secretly, and couldn't help but make a sound.
Wei Ziyang didn't wait for the old man of the Chen family to ask questions, and said to himself again: "If it is an ordinary bandit, if you want to kidnap Miss, you don't have to do this, you just need to knock Miss unconscious, and things will be much easier, but this kidnapper is using incense, so much trouble, I'm afraid there is a reason." “
"Why?"
When Wei Ziyang heard this, he shook his head and explained, "I don't know for the time being, so I have no way of knowing. ”
Wei Ziyang was slightly certain in his heart, so he immediately bowed his hand to Chen Zhong again: "Master, can you let me go to Dongshan tonight to negotiate with the kidnappers, and I will definitely bring the young lady back safely." ”
"Of course, but you have to pay attention to safety." Chen Zhong had this intention to come to Wei Ziyang this time, he originally wanted the housekeeper to go, but after thinking about it, Wei Ziyang was the most suitable, this Wei Ziyang was brave, resourceful, and affectionate, and it was the safest to leave this matter to him.
"I'm on the side of the government, you go back and prepare, bring the ransom, and you must find out who did this."
Wei Ziyang bowed and said loudly: "Master, don't worry, I'll go back and prepare." ”
When Chen Zhong heard this, he stepped forward, grabbed Wei Ziyang's hand, and said with a worried face: "Ziyang, you must bring the little girl back safely." ”
When Wei Ziyang heard this, he was slightly stunned, and said with a straight face: "Master, don't worry, I want to see who dares to kidnap Miss." “
