Fu Ning's memory of the novel Dream of Red Mansions is not clear, and even a little confusing, but since he has come to this world, he must figure out the "story of the Red Mansion" in this world; In Fu Ning's view, figuring out the essence of the problem is the key to whether he can return to his original life, and now Lin Daiyu's entry into Beijing means the unfolding of the "Red Chamber Story", so the clues and information he needs may appear; In the past, I was alone and precarious, and I didn't dare or have the ability to find the information I needed, but now that the "story of the Red Mansion" has "begun", and I have "a big family and a big business", and "my influence is all over the East China Sea", then this means that I have hope and ability to track down the information I need. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The news of Lin Daiyu's entry into Beijing reported by Huaiyangtang of the Intelligence Department in April of the 23rd year of Qianping reminded Fu Ning of a "major mistake" of his own, that is, he had been paying attention to the Xue family in Jiangning City in Jinling Province and the Lin family in Yangzhou City, but he had always forgotten to let the Intelligence Department Yanshantang pay attention to the British Dynasty's Beijing Division Yanjing Lijia Mansion; Fortunately, it's not too late to start paying attention now, so Fu Ning immediately summoned Yanshantang, "Pay close attention to the information of Rongguo Mansion and Ning Guofu!" Report the information in a timely manner! ”。

At the beginning of May, Xue Cheng, who was secretly arrested by Huaiyangtang, was taken to the chicken coop, and Fu Ning wanted to interrogate him personally about something; Another thing is that the secret arrest of Xue Cheng made Fu Ning envision a possibility, if Lin Daiyu was secretly tied to Liuqiu, would it lead to that monk? With this thought, Fu Ning immediately became excited, if he could lead to that monk, would it mean that he would have the opportunity to ask him face to face for clues to return to the original world? This thought immediately filled Fu Ning's brain, so Fu Ning immediately impatiently ordered the Intelligence Department to send a message: "Huaiyang Hall, Yanshan Hall, and a team of the Operations Department of the Intelligence Department hidden in Yangzhou will join forces and secretly kidnap Lin Daiyu who is on her way to Beijing!" Take care of Lin Daiyu safely and secretly send it to the chicken coop! ”。

After the order was issued by the flying pigeon, Fu Ning calmed down slightly, and after calming down for a while, he went to the interrogation room of the Intelligence Department to interrogate Xue Cheng.

Xue Cheng was secretly escorted to the chicken coop by the Huaiyang Hall of the Intelligence Department after the "death incident" was faked, Xue Cheng was frightened by the silent kidnapping and silent escort, and Xue Cheng was still in fear when he was escorted to the headquarters of the Intelligence Department in the chicken coop. After Xue Cheng was brought into the interrogation room, Fu Ning walked in.

Fu Ning sat at the interrogation table, his right arm propped on the table, his thumb and pinched his chin, and then stared at Xue Cheng. And Xue Cheng obviously lost a lot of weight, probably because he was not in good spirits because of fear on the way to the escort; Now Xue Cheng sat on the interrogation seat with his head bowed in trembling, and he didn't even dare to raise his head.

One of the guards escorting Xue Cheng patted Xue Cheng's shoulder silently, Xue Cheng immediately raised his head and shook his body with an "ah" and looked at the guards beside him, so the guards broke Xue Cheng's head with both hands and asked him to look at Fu Ning.

Xue Cheng was confused at first, then confused, then stood up and raised his shackled arm and pointed at Fu Ning, "Ah——, you? ——, you! ——？ ”。

Fu Ning fortunately folded his arms around his chest and leaned back on the seat, and then said to Xue Cheng with a cat-like mockery on his face: "What, you remembered me?!" You don't want to say something? ”。

Xue Cheng was stunned for a moment, then sat down dejectedly and lowered his head again.

"Tell me about the whole process at that time." Fu Ning asked.

"I was confused at the time, and told Wang An that you have the secret skills of making wood, and wanted him to send someone to Xiaoyang Village to steal it, who would have thought that the official army would actually kill Xiaoyang Village, this is because I am sorry for you; I have always regretted it all these years, I sent people to Xiaoyang Village to bury the bodies of the villagers, but I couldn't find the bodies of you and your family, I have always felt uneasy, I didn't expect you to be alive, I finally have one less sin......"

"One less sin? ......, the only people who survived in Xiaoyang Village were me and my niece Yang Lan, do you think your sins are less!? ……。 ”

"Your family didn't survive? ......, I didn't find their bodies? ”

"My family? ——； I buried them in the mountains that night." ......, "It's been more than six years!" Alas——, next year I should go back and see them, burn some paper money for them, and put them on a grave......."

……

Xue Cheng pounced and knelt on the ground, "I really didn't expect them to kill Xiaoyang Village——! I'm sorry for you——! Woo-".

Fu Ning didn't speak, he looked at Xue Cheng in silence, and waited for Xue Cheng to cry a little less before he started to speak, "Who asked you to inform Wang An?" Is it the Xue family's Xue Wang clan? ”

"No, I embezzled the money back then, and I didn't dare to tell my wife; I was afraid that the incident would happen, so I secretly took refuge in Wang An, and Wang An received the money and told me not to worry, so I told Wang An that there was a ...... of woodcraft secret skills in Xiaoyang Village."

"Wang Zongran also said that the Xue family didn't know, but the Sizhou woodware shop you managed was the Xue family's industry after all; You said that the Xue Wang family, who is in charge of the Xue family, doesn't know, do you think I will believe it!? Well! ——？ ”。 Fu Ning sneered.

"Who is Wang Zongran? - Madame really doesn't know, I don't dare to tell Madame if I embezzle money, Madame really doesn't know! - I have been the son of the Xue family since I was a child, and my wife treats me well, but I am greedy for money because of my conscience, and I dare not tell my wife, but my wife really doesn't know! - Young Master Yang, you can't resent Madame——! If you want to complain, blame me for embezzling money! ”。

Xue Cheng kept kowtowing to explain.

"Nonsense!" , Fu Ning stood up with a punch on the table, "It's my fault for luring you to embezzle money, I admit it!" But it's also my fault that you let Wang An steal the furniture drawings?! Wang Zongran's massacre of Xiaoyang Village is also my fault? ——！ Well?! What kind of logic are you?! ……”

"Yes, yes, yes! It's Wang Zongran's fault! - Who is Wang Zongran? ……？ Xue Cheng cried in panic.

"The direct murderer of the massacre of Xiaoyang Village! The generals of the official army under Wang Ziteng! - You asked Wang An to make the drawings, Wang An told Wang Zongran, and then Wang Zongran slaughtered Xiaoyang Village, who do you say Wang Zongran is?! - You've got the crime done! Do you think you can figure it out! Do you think I'll believe it?! ”； - "Get up! Sit tight! Don't cry! - I don't like people crying and talking to me! ”

The guards quickly pulled Xue Cheng up and pressed him to his seat.

"Xue Wang really doesn't know? What about those furniture drawings of mine? Fu Ning continued to ask.

"Madame really doesn't know! I didn't dare to use those wooden drawings after Wang An handed them over to me, and then Xue Xin asked me for the drawings, and I gave him all the drawings. ”

"Xue Xin......?" Fu Ning was puzzled, turned to a guard beside him and said, "Go to the archives room to find the information of Xue Xin of the Xue family in Jiangning!" ”。 The guard saluted and immediately turned to leave.

Fu Ning sat down and kept tapping his fingers on the table to ponder, it seemed that Xue Wang's family really didn't know, Xue Pan was five years old at the time, Xue Baochai was four years old, it was impossible to participate, so who else had been involved? Fu Ning pondered while waiting for the information of Xue Xin's family.

"Xue Xin is the chairman of Jiangning Woodware ......," Xue Cheng said weakly. As soon as Fu Ning waved his hand, Xue Cheng closed his mouth.

The guards quickly took Xue Xin's information and handed it to Fu Ning.

"Xue Xin, president of the Jiangning City Wood Association in Jinling Province; He was thirty-two years old in the twenty-second year of Qianping; The same clan member of the Xue family of Jiangning Emperor, after Xue Gong of Ziwei She, he is the third man of the house, and Uncle Xue Pan; Left eye is damaged, the cause of the damage is unknown; It is shrewd and low-key in business; After investigation, he had several contacts with Wang An, the butler of Wang Ziteng, and the reason for the interaction was unknown; Xue Xin has a son and a daughter, and his wife is Liuhe Xu. ”

There is only so much information about Xue Xin displayed on the archives of the Intelligence Department, and Fu Ning's memory does not have Xue Xin's name in the Dream of Red Mansions novel, could he have remembered it wrong? Fu Ning was a little puzzled. After thinking for a while, he asked Xue Cheng, "When did Xue Xin ask for the furniture drawings you wanted?" ”。

"It was the beginning of August of the seventeenth year of Qianping. After Xiaoyang Village was suppressed in May of the 17th year of Qianping, I had no purchase of new woodware, and I didn't dare to use the drawings that Wang An got me, so I had no inventory in mid-June; Xue Xin asked me for the goods, and I said that the supply was broken, and I had no goods, and in August he came to me again and said that he knew that I had drawings, so I gave him all the drawings. ”

"You didn't ask him how he knew you had the drawings?"

"I asked, and he said that he heard it from Wang Anna, and I think he must have also taken refuge in the Wang family; Since the death of the old master, it is the wife who is supporting the family business, and the days are not as good as day by day, many people have secretly taken refuge in the Wang family, and there are also a few Mrs. Wang who secretly voted for the Jia family, but they are not allowed to be reused, so they can only think of their own methods——。 ”

After hearing this, Fu Ning was silent for a while, and then asked, "Do you know the person in charge of Jiangning Bu City of the Xue family?" ”

"Acquaintance, called Xue Province; He is not only in charge of the Xue family's cloth market in Jiangning, he is the chief steward of the Xue family, and he is in charge of all the cloth markets owned by the Xue family; After the old master passed away, he also took refuge in the Wang family, and then he somehow offended the Zhen family in Jiangning, and was hanged by the Zhen family in February of the 19th year of Qianping, and the strange thing is that Wang An also compensated the Zhen family on behalf of the Xue family at that time; Wang An didn't say the reason, and he made his wife angry, and we didn't dare to ask. ”

Fu Ning thought silently for a while, and then said to the two guards who were holding Xue Cheng: "Escort him to Changhua Furniture Factory to do hard labor, and after three years, he will be free to turn into a civilian!" ”。 Then handed Xue Xin's information to the guards beside him, "Archive!" ”。

After the three guards saluted, they all went out, leaving only one guard still standing straight next to Fu Ning. When Xue Cheng was escorted away, he also persuaded Fu Ning, "Young Master Yang, Madam really doesn't know, you just let her go......!" ”； Fu Ning sat at the table with his head down, stretched out a hand and waved, the guards didn't speak at all, and directly put Xue Cheng out.

Fu Ning pondered, thinking that what Wang Zongran and Xue Cheng said should be the truth; The people involved in the massacre of Xiaoyang Village back then were Xue Cheng, Wang An, Wang Zongran, and Wang Ziteng and the four princes, and the Xue Wang family of the Xue family was indeed not involved, and they should not know about it so far; Xue Xin was not involved, but he should have heard a little bit of news afterwards; Xue Province was the party who wanted to burn down Yangzhou Hongxiang Weaving Yard at the beginning of the first month of the nineteenth year of Qianping, but he was finally killed by Zhen Run; It's just that after the "Yangzhou Hongxiang Weaving Field Incident" in November of the twentieth year of Qianping, Zhen Run was demoted to a commoner by the British court, and I don't know what happened to Zhen Run now. As for Xiaoyang Village, Yang Ping, Yang Tiezhu and others were buried in the mountains overnight with Chen Dong and Wu Huaiyuan, and the location was very remote; Later, he asked Huaiyangtang to secretly search according to the location he said, but the Huaiyangtang intelligence officer was not able to find it, it seems that it is best for him to go back and maintain the cemetery of Yang Ping, Yang Tiezhu and others; It's just that I can't leave now, and after the war is over, I may be able to spare two or three months to go back to the old land of Xiaoyang Village.

Fu Ning issued an order to Huaiyangtang, Yanshantang, and a team of the Operations Department at the same time in early May to "conduct joint operations, secretly kidnap Lin Daiyu, and safely send her to the chicken coop." What is strange is that after the "joint action team" was formed, no news came back, and the personnel left behind in Yangzhou by Huaiyangtang and Yanshantang in Yanjing all replied that they had "lost the information of the joint action team."

According to the plan in advance, the "joint action team" will look for an opportunity to falsify the incident of Lin Daiyu "falling into the water and missing" on the way to Beijing, and in fact secretly tie up Lin Daiyu and deliver her to the second team of the operation department that will follow her, and the second team of the operation department will secretly and safely escort Lin Daiyu to Liuqiu for chicken coops through Lingshanwei, Shandong. The entire plan of action was deduced in advance, and the rhythm was meticulous, but the loss of contact with the "joint action team" made Fu Ning think of the possibility of the operation failing; The "Joint Action Team" has been missing for two months, which is obviously a bit abnormal, and Fu Ning, who is very concerned about this operation, has gradually become extremely irritable; Because Fu Ning was desperate for the "Joint Action Team" to tie up Lin Daiyu and lead out that monk, so that he could have the opportunity to meet that monk, ask him for news, and find clues to return to his original world.

During the continuous loss of contact with the "joint action team", Fu Ning thought of a possibility, that is, a certain secret force had an exchange of fire with the "joint action team", so that the "joint action team" was damaged and had to temporarily lurk, but Fu Ning immediately denied this possibility; It's not that Fu Ning is overconfident, but that Fu Ning believes in the strength of the "joint action team"; The "Joint Action Team" is extremely loyal, experienced, capable, and forceful, so it is impossible to rebel and send a message even if the operation misses. It's not that Fu Ning boasted, the "joint action team" has a total of more than 200 people, and it is all the elite of Huaiyangtang and Yanshantang and a team of armed forces of the operation department, with superior ability and strong equipment, even if the imperial court dispatches 10,000 elite officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress it, it is impossible to completely annihilate the "joint action team", there will always be manpower who can escape and pass on the interrogation, not to mention that the intelligence personnel left behind in the rear have not found the news that there are officers and troops dispatched along the canal, so the loss of contact with the "joint action team" is becoming more and more strange.

Fu Ning waited anxiously and waited, restless, this was the peak period of the Liuqiu Navy to conquer the Japanese and clean up the indigenous people of the Japanese Kingdom, and it was also the time of the greatest harvest, but Fu Ning no longer had the heart to pay attention to the matter of the Japanese conquest, but almost put all his thoughts on finding the missing "joint action team".

Fu Ning waited until the beginning of August to receive the news from Zhang Wu, the captain of the second team of the Operations Department, from Jiangning Feige, but the content of the news made Fu Ning extremely shocked! - The "Joint Action Team" made a bizarre and bizarre miss, and the whole team died without a life, and all the doubts pointed to that monk! ——
