On the banquet, everyone pushed their glasses and changed their glasses, and it seemed very lively for a while.

And when everyone shouted and rose, they knocked on the table one by one, and the people couldn't help but sing. Therefore, the banquet lasted until midnight before it ended.

I was speechless all night, and in the blink of an eye, I couldn't help but reach the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

On this day, even the merchants who originally set up stalls to do business have already closed the market at this time and enjoyed a rare leisure time.

So in such an atmosphere, the craftsmen of the forging factory and the ironmaking factory here in Xiangyang also have a rare holiday. And Han Ye Han Wuye, who is the deputy of the master craftsman Shen Shi, was also able to have more than half a month's vacation at this time.

"Cuilian, I'm going out to transfer now, don't forget to keep it for me." In the morning, Han Ye, who was used to going out for a walk, said to his wife like this. After his wife responded, he couldn't help but walk through the backyard to the front yard and to the gate.

In a side room next to the gate in the front yard, there lived a doorman. This concierge knew that Han Ye was used to going out for a walk in the morning, so he also opened the door for Han Ye early.

As a master craftsman, the salary is equivalent to that of Han Ye, who is from six products and hundreds of households, and as usual, he has stepped out of his own house.

"Yo, it's really cold, but look at the sky, it's a good weather again." After stepping out of the house, he was blown by the cold wind on the street, and while Han Ye took a breath of cold air, he couldn't help but tighten the clothes on his body.

But even so, Han Ye, who is used to going out for a walk in the morning, is still ready to walk west along the street.

"Yo, Fifth Master Han is early, you come out for a walk today!" Now as a master craftsman, Han Ye, who enjoys the treatment of officials from six grades and hundreds of households, is a decent person after all.

Therefore, some people in the neighborhood who also got up very early, after seeing Han Ye, naturally piled up smiling faces and greeted Han Ye.

Seeing this, Han Ye felt that his vanity was satisfied, and at the same time, he also smiled and nodded his head one by one.

But at this time, he didn't notice that behind him, there were two men who were already quietly eyeing him.

"See, that person is Han Ye, that is, our goal, as it was said, as long as this person is captured alive and brought back, our brothers can get a thousand taels of silver." A man stared at Han Ye with the rest of his eyes, and at the same time couldn't help but whisper to the other person beside him.

"Big brother, then what are we waiting for, now that there are few people, it is a good opportunity to do it. After a while, there will be more people, so it will be difficult for us to do it. As soon as he heard a thousand taels of silver, the other man couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"Shut up, you're in a hurry. I've been staring at this Han Ye for several days, and every day I come to this guy, I will only take that road. And on this road, there happens to be an abandoned house. I have already arranged for someone in the house, and when the time comes, where to control him, and then send him out of the city, that is the god does not know the ghost. ”

"Haha, you still have a way, big brother. Big brother, let's continue to follow now. ”

The two of them said this, and then quietly hung behind Han Ye. And Han Ye himself still doesn't know anything about it.

……

An hour later, the home of the master craftsman Shen Shi.

"Quanfu, who came just now?" Because he was fortunate to attend that banquet last night, Shen Shi couldn't help but get up late. However, when he walked to the front yard, he noticed the movement at the door of the house, and he couldn't help but ask the porter a question.

"Back to the master, he was a servant in Han Wuye's family just now, and he came to ask Han Wuye." The servant replied.

"Oh, Han Ye, what's wrong with him?" Hearing about his deputy Han Ye, Shen Shi frowned slightly, and couldn't help but ask again.

And when he heard Shen Shi ask again, the porter hurriedly replied again: "That person said that Han Wuye went out for a walk in the morning, and now an hour has passed, and the lady in the family is a little anxious, so he asked him to come here to ask." After all, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is estimated that there are still many things in Han Wuye's family that need Han Wuye's ideas. ”

"Oh, I see. This guy Han Ye has always loved wine, maybe he ...... Well, that's not right. Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and with Han Wu's temper, he will definitely not run around at this time. Could it really be ......" Speaking of this, Shen Shi glared, as if he wanted something.

was originally still indifferent, but at this time, it couldn't help but be swept away.

"Quick, you quickly chase back the servants of the Han Ye family for me. Go ahead, I'm going to ask in detail what's going on. ”

"Hey, the villain will go now, go now." Seeing Shen Shi like this, the porter was shocked. Although he didn't know why Shen Shi was like this, he hurriedly agreed and chased him out.

"Han Ye, Han Wu, you kid must not do stupid things, and you must not do anything!" Thinking of what kind of secrets Han Ye had, Master Craftsman Shen Shi couldn't help but become a little panicked now.

……

Almost a quarter of an hour passed, when Shen Shi asked the servants of the Han Ye family everything clearly.

Combined with his understanding of Han Ye, Shen Shi can now conclude that his deputy Han Ye, who is also one of the few masters who knows the plate armor forging process, must have something bad going on.

Han Ye had an accident, and he was kidnapped by someone if he didn't leave ten. And if someone kidnapped Han Ye, it must be for the sake of plate armor. After all, something like this has happened many times in half a year. But I didn't expect that this time these people would be so good at exploiting loopholes, and they took advantage of the Chinese New Year's Eve to directly kidnap Han Ye.

No, Han Ye must not have an accident, if something happens to him, the production method of the plate armor is leaked, and the lord blames it, then it will be all over!

Thinking in such horror in his heart, after forcibly suppressing the fear that kept pouring out in his heart, Shen Shi looked at the porter servant, and couldn't help shouting: "Quick, go to the mansion, go to the mansion to find Governor Zhou...... No, it's been more than an hour, it's too late, go directly to the Marshal's Mansion, go directly to the Marshal's Mansion! ”

Shen Shishi roared sharply. Seeing Shen Shi like this, the people under the concierge couldn't help but be jumped, and they couldn't help but prepare a carriage for Shen Shi and him with their hands and feet.

At the same time, in the north of the city, more than a dozen men dressed as merchants couldn't help but drive three carts, ready to leave the city.

"All stand still, routine checks. Tell me, what's in your car? Seeing these people approaching, because the Chinese New Year's Eve was still not idle, the platoon commander guarding the city gate couldn't help but look a little impatient in his tone.

"Hehe, Master Jun." Seeing this, the man who had followed Han Ye in the morning couldn't help but hurriedly smile and said, "If you go back to the military master, it is filled with tea from Xiangyang." Or take a look. ”

As he said this, he hurriedly waved his hand to let people open the big bag contained in the car. And the platoon leader took a look and found that the bags were really full of tea.

"Hey, I said, you people who do business really don't care about anything for money. It's New Year's Day, and I'm still running business, it's hard enough. Although he saw that the car was loaded with tea, the platoon leader still subconsciously walked to the car, touched the bag and the tea leaves in the bag, and said while checking.

"There's no way, after all, the world is not good these days, it's all about begging for a living, and it's not a good belly." When the man heard the platoon commander's words, he lowered his head and smiled. However, his eyes always followed the black-clothed platoon commander, and with the black-clothed platoon commander's inspection movements, a flash of panic flashed from time to time.

"Alright, it seems that there is no problem. Alright, let's get out of town. "Although it seems a little strange to say that there are still merchants at this time, but businessmen, aren't they all profit-seeking. Especially after Zhang Shihua has set a far supermarket price for military supplies such as herbs and cloth these days, there are also many businessmen who still come here to trade on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

After all, Xiangyang is located south of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains, and in winter, water transportation is still convenient. So after a hasty inspection, the platoon commander who guarded the gate didn't think much about it, and let him go.

"Haha, thank you Jun Ye, there is Lao Junye, there is Lao Junye." Hearing that the platoon commander let them go, the man's heart was relieved, and he couldn't help but smile and wave his hand again and again.

In this regard, the platoon leader nodded reservedly, and motioned for them to wave their hands and leave.

I didn't notice that some of the guys in the convoy were sweating strangely on such a cold day.

……

"Stop, this is Marshal Pingzhang's Mansion." At the same time, on the other side, Shen Shi and the others, who were hurrying all the way in a carriage, finally came to the door of the Marshal's Mansion.

"Quick, this brother, I am Shen Shi, a master craftsman in the army, and I have 100,000 urgent things to tell the lord. Trouble this brother, and hurry up to the Lord to report it. All the way to the galloping carriage, Shen Shi couldn't help but look a little embarrassed under the bumps.

However, at this time, where was he still in the mood to care about his appearance, he was only busy saluting Zhang Shihua, a personal guard, in order to make a report.

"You are Master Shen?" Because I don't know what happened, have I seen Shen Shi's appearance. So after seeing Shen Shi's bumpy and disheveled appearance, the guard couldn't help but look a little puzzled.

But at this moment, where does Shen Shi still have the leisure to delay his work. So seeing the hesitant look on the guard's face, the anxious Shen Shi couldn't help but roar angrily: "That's right, I am Shen Shi." Hurry up and let me in, quick! ”

"Well, then, then you will also follow me into the house." Suddenly frightened by Shen Shi, this guard panicked, and he didn't pay attention to so much, so he took Shen Shi and them into the mansion.

However, even if they entered the mansion, this guard only let Shen Shi wait in the side hall next to the lobby of the front hall, and he stepped into the backyard to pass through.

Of course, even if it is Tongyu, this personal guard is not qualified to enter the place where Zhang Shihua and his ladies live after entering the Sanjin Hospital.

He just came to the second courtyard and found a maid who worked in the house, and asked him to do it on his behalf. And he honestly lowered his head and stayed at the door of the second courtyard leading to the third courtyard.

After all, feudal society is this rule, which is about the superiority and inferiority of men and women. Unless the sky really falls, even if he gives this guard a hundred dares, without Zhang Shihua's order, he will definitely not dare to break into the place where his lord's daughter-in-law lives.

Not to mention him, even Li Wu, the commander of the guards, never had the courage to do so.

So in this way, when Zhang Shihua received the news and met with the anxious Shen Shi, nearly a quarter of an hour had passed.

……

"Hurry up, hurry up and get the goods on the ship for me, we don't have time to delay time, give me some money, hurry." At the same time, the convoy that was extremely suspicious of the disappearance of the craftsman Han Ye also came to the ferry and began to load the goods on the ship.

Yes, they looked unusually anxious at this time. But under the watchful eye of the soldiers guarding the ferry, these men were eager to leave at once with their real goods. However, in such a situation, they can only speed up their loading as soon as possible.

After all, the more they get to this time, the more they dare not expose themselves, which leads to the failure of the credit.

At the same time, he turned his attention to the Marshal's Mansion where Zhang Shihua was. When Zhang Shihua walked out of the backyard, he walked to the side hall of the front hall and saw Shen Shi and them. Shen Shi's first sentence to Zhang Shihua was also "Lord, something is wrong." ”

"What, you mean Han Ye, who knows all the production processes of plate armor, mysteriously disappeared this morning!" A moment later, after knowing what had happened, Zhang Shihua, who had always been deep in the city, couldn't help but stand up from his seat, looking at Shen Shi and shouting angrily.

"Reply, back to the lord's words, Han Ye is my deputy, and I know him very well. In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he went out for a walk in the morning, but he did not return home for more than an hour. Shen Shimeng was angry when he saw Zhang Shihua. Although he fell to his knees in fright, he replied like this.

"Bastard! Didn't I send personal guards to all of your craftsmen, and those five personal guards of Han Ye are all dead! ”

"Lord Gong, because of the New Year, so Han Ye kindly gave the guards a day off on the Chinese New Year's Eve, and let them drink more last night. So this morning, the guards didn't ......"

"Damn, okay, I see. Gao Yang, you quickly take my talisman and give me an order to go down immediately, so that Shi Shisan, who is in charge of guarding the city, can mobilize all the soldiers and horses in the city, immediately block the ferry and the city for me, and give me all the ships that left the ferry this morning along the way. Even if I dig three feet into the ground, I have to get Han Ye back, understand! Zhang Shihua roared at the guard, with a hideous look.
