Chapter 81: Missing
Because the monk Yang Renxiao was looking for was the junior brother of the abbot of Yunju Temple, Xiao Baimian and Sun Feng did not meet him, and ******** gave a large sum of sesame oil money to the abbot and left with the two.
To be honest, Xiao Baiyan didn't take the matter of meeting Yang Renxiao's subordinates in Yunjue Temple to heart, although she was a little curious about Yang Renxiao sending people to Yunju Temple, but this was not enough to arouse her interest, after all, Yang Renxiao was a scholar who could make some big waves.
Therefore, when the burly man sent by the little white face returned to the city at noon the next day, she had already put this matter behind her, and was in the restaurant to invite a group of military attaches of Xiangyangwei to drink.
"Miss, the subordinates have found out, Yang Renxiao's subordinates went to Gwanghwa County yesterday and brought two women in men's clothes into a manor in Gwanghwa County, the manor's subordinates inquired, the original owner moved to Jiangnan two months ago and sold the manor, the locals still don't know the identity of the buyer, but now it seems that Yang Renxiao bought it."
After the banquet was over, the burly man found Xiaobai's face and whispered, "Those two women were carried into the bedroom, and they seem to have been drugged." β
"Drugged?" The little white face was drinking tea slowly, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard the words, Yang Renxiao was from a scholarly family, how could he use this kind of indiscriminate means.
"Do you know the identities of those two women?" Then, Xiao Baimian put down the teacup in his hand and asked the burly man with interest, wondering who the woman who could make the arrogant Yang Renxiao do such a thing.
"It's not clear, they are very strict, we can't get close, and we're afraid of the spirit of grass, so my subordinates will report first." The burly man shook his head.
"You take some more people to keep a good watch on that mansion, and report back as soon as there is any trouble."
Xiao Baimian groaned for a moment when she heard this, and commanded in a coquettish voice, vaguely feeling that things were not so simple, she believed that Yang Renxiao would never arrest those two women for no reason, and she also looked like nothing happened, which made her feel very interesting.
Just last night, Xiao Baimian met Yang Renxiao in the Spring Breeze Pavilion, and followed a group of new students to drink and have fun there.
Not only Li Hongyi, but Yang Renxiao is also very good at managing interpersonal relationships, taking advantage of this time to attract those new students.
In the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful local force was not the clans, but the class of gentry with fame, who were not officials but enjoyed the privileges prescribed by the imperial court, and had close relations with the local clans and the officials in the yamen, making them a very difficult force.
Therefore, Li Hongyi and Yang Renxiao will try their best to win over and make friends with those new students, in order to strengthen their own strength.
Three days after the end of the scientific examination, the results were released, and the list was announced on the notice wall in front of the school, and the students who obtained the qualification for the township examination all cheered, and those who unfortunately fell off the list naturally sighed, and some even cried and cried bitterly.
Li Hongyu's two uncles and Wang Kuiju, Li Hongyi, Lu Kun and others naturally passed the test smoothly, it is worth mentioning that Zhao Wenhan's eldest son, Li Hongyu's eldest cousin Zhao Yuxin also obtained the qualification for the scientific examination, the Zhao family can be described as four happy people, including Li Hongyu, there are four students who were able to rush to the township test in Wuchang City.
Zhao Yuxin became a student one year earlier than Li Hongyu, and his score in the college examination was the third place in Xiangyang Mansion, but it was a pity that he still missed the township examination.
Don't talk about Zhao Yuxin, even Zhao Wenhan and Zhao Wenting have taken the township exam several times but still can't be nominated for the list, so they can only continue to be students helplessly.
Therefore, Zhao Guangfeng specially set up a family banquet to celebrate the achievements of Li Hongyu and the four of them, and so many people in the Zhao family went to the township to test the sign of a scholarly family.
On the other hand, the Yang family, only Yang Renxiao and one of his cousins were qualified for the township test, and Li Hongyu, the head of the case, pressed Yang Renxiao, the rising star of the Yang family, so the Zhao family won a big victory in this competition, and Zhao Guangfeng was naturally happy.
In addition to the family banquet of the Zhao family, Li Hongyu also had to meet the prefect with those students who passed the scientific examination, and the government would set up a banquet to see them off, wishing them to be nominated for laurels in this township examination.
In addition, outstanding students such as Li Hongyu, Zhao Xin and Yang Renxiao, who were selected by Yan Yan to study in Fuxue, also visited the professors and instructors of Fuxue, as well as a series of entertainment, and were very busy.
It is difficult to send charcoal in the world, but it is easy to add icing on the cake, and at this time, of course, these new students will be sought after by all forces in society.
"Young Master, it's been six days since the second miss left, I'll send someone back to find out if she's not in Baihe Town, will something happen?"
That night, when Li Hongyu came back full of alcohol, Rou'er couldn't help but say to her worriedly, although Qin Yue had also stayed outside before, it was only for a day or two, and there had never been no news for six consecutive days like now.
"No wonder I feel a lot cleaner, it turns out that she is not around." Li Hongyu took a sip of herbal tea, stretched lazily, and said disappreciatively, "Second Miss, this person is extremely shrewd and indifferent, and she will definitely not suffer a loss when she does things. β
"Young master, I have already asked the people around the second miss, the land that the second miss wants to buy has already been completed, and it is impossible to buy any more industries."
Seeing that Li Hongyu looked a little careless, Rou'er said anxiously after a deep groan, "According to the next person, when the second lady left, she only brought Xiaolan an entourage, but she just said that she went out for a walk, but she didn't think that she didn't come back for a few days, something must have happened here." β
It turned out that Rou'er didn't care about Qin Yue's going out at first, after all, Qin Yue was not the young grandmother of the Li family who had freedom of movement, maybe she went to find relatives and friends.
The first to sit still was the people around Qin Yue, who couldn't help but panic when they saw that Qin Yue hadn't heard from them for several days, and first went to the Qin family's relatives in Xiangyang City to inquire and found that they hadn't seen Qin Yue, so they told Rou'er about it.
Rou'er immediately sent someone to look for it, but she didn't find any trace of Qin Yue at all, God knows where Qin Yue went.
"You mean something happened to the second miss?" Li Hongyu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and the look on his face became serious.
Although he has a knot in his heart for Qin Yue, Qin Yue is his fiancΓ©e after all, and even if Qin Yue has nothing to do with him, he doesn't want Qin Yue to have an accident.
"Now it seems very possible, the second miss is a delicate person, and she will definitely not disappear for such a long time for no reason."
Rou'er groaned for a moment when she heard this, and bowed slightly to Li Hongyu, "Besides, the second lady has not yet left the cabinet, once the matter spreads, it will definitely make people gossip." β
"Where did she go?" Li Hongyu felt that Rou'er's words were reasonable, no matter how Qin Yue had to take care of her reputation, so he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, and couldn't help but get up and paced back and forth in the room, his brows furrowed.
Judging from the current situation, Qin Yue was kidnapped nine times out of ten, but it is not clear whether the other party is seeking wealth or robbing sex, or whether she was kidnapped by someone and kidnapped her and sold her to a large family as a concubine or sold to a Qinglou to pick up customers.
If it is a robbery, then it is necessary to distinguish whether the other party was premeditated or improvised, whether it was done by locals or people from other counties, and so on.
Thinking of this, Li Hongyu's head couldn't help but get bigger, he really didn't understand, how could Qin Yue, a person who looked so shrewd, make such a low-level mistake and just took Xiaolan out without accompanying the subordinates, so that she and Xiaolan were now nowhere to be found.
Unless...... Unless Qin Yue goes to see someone and doesn't want to be known, then he will only bring Xiaolan who is close to him, and if he goes to do something that is not easy for outsiders to know, he will definitely bring more than one Xiaolan.
But who will Qin Yue go to meet? Is there anyone worth seeing Qin Yue alone? Li Hongyu was puzzled by this.
Li Hongyu knew the situation of the Qin family and Qin Yue very well, after all, he was still trying to find a way to deal with the Qin family last year, so he naturally wanted to find out the details of the Qin family.
As far as he knew, Qin Yue didn't have any friends in Xiangyang City or even Xiangyang Mansion who needed to meet alone in private, and now it was no better than in the next generation, the young ladies of the big families stayed in the boudoir, and if they went out to run errands, they would definitely have to follow their families, so it was difficult to make any friends before leaving the cabinet.
Therefore, Li Hongyu didn't think that Qin Yue would travel far away, and nine times out of ten he would see someone in Xiangyang City, but it was just inconvenient for outsiders to know.
"Yang Renxiao!" After pacing back and forth in the room a few times, Li Hongyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and after stopping, he said to Rou'er, who was looking at her, "Second Miss must have gone to see Yang Renxiao, if she knows anyone other than relatives in Xiangyang City, then it is undoubtedly Yang Renxiao." β
"Yes!" After listening to Li Hongyu's words, Rou'er's face suddenly turned happy, "The second lady has come to Xiangyang City for a blind date before, maybe she has seen Yang Gongzi, if she goes to see Yang Gongzi, then it is really inconvenient for outsiders to know." β
"But if that's the case, why did she go to see Yang Gongzi?" Then, Rou'er's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and her eyes showed a puzzled look, Qin Yue is a smart person and should know that once this matter is known, the consequences will be unimaginable, enough for Li Hongyu to withdraw from his relatives on the grounds of not abiding by women's morality.
Could it be that there is a personal affair between the two? Rou'er's face suddenly changed, judging from the current situation, this possibility cannot be ruled out, Yang Renxiao is a famous talent in Xiangyang Mansion, and he is elegant and handsome, and few girls like it.
Of course, Rou'er's guess must not be told to Li Hongyu, no matter how Qin Yue is now the future young grandmother of the Li family, this matter is related to Qin Yue's reputation, so how can she play Qin Yue's rights and wrongs in front of Li Hongyu, you must know that this is a big taboo as a subordinate.
Besides, Rou'er didn't want Li Hongyu to mess up at this time, and being impetuous, but it was a taboo when the two armies faced off.
