On the night of early autumn, there was a faint and slightly cool, and after the group entered Hangzhou City, they went directly to Fang Ren's house.

It is not luxurious, but it is not a dilapidated residence, there are two green willows planted in front of the door, and the willows are swaying in the wind, which is quite poetic.

Not long after knocking on the door, an old servant opened the door, the old servant's eyes were a little bad, and he was stunned for a moment after seeing Su Wuming and the others, and then hurriedly asked, "Who are you?" ”

Su Wuming reported his name, and then asked, "This is Fang Ren's home?" ”

The old servant nodded: "Exactly, I don't know what a few people are looking for my young master?" ”

"Is Fang Ren at home?"

"Young master, he has something to do, and he hasn't been back for several days!"

Su Wuming frowned slightly, and asked, "So he hasn't come back now?" ”

"Exactly!"

Tang Xiong heard this and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Su Wuming's eyes, and at this time, Su Wuming bowed his hand to the old servant and said, "Since Fang Ren is not at home, then we will come back another day, if your young master comes back, please go to the Assassin Mansion to give a shout." ”

The old servant nodded again and again, and then asked a little nervously, "Master Su, what happened to my son-in-law?" ”

Su Wuming smiled lightly: "No, it's just that Lord Ben heard that your son-in-law is quite talented and wants to make friends!" ”

Hearing Su Wuming say this, the old servant was relieved.

After leaving Fang Ren's house, Tang Xiong asked a little puzzled: "Brother Su, now that Fang Ren has not returned home for a long time, I think he escaped with that Qi Fang girl, why didn't you let me tell me just now?" ”

Su Wuming smiled: "Now that the matter has not been investigated clearly, how can we talk casually, besides, if the matter is really as you said, as soon as you open your mouth like this, wouldn't it be a startle, if Fang Ren comes back, he will inevitably flee in a hurry, and it will be difficult for us to arrest him again!" ”

Seeing that Su Wuming was so thoughtful, Tang Xiong realized how reckless he had just been.

It was getting late, and there was no one else on the street except a few of them, and tonight the moon was half-full, and the light shone on the earth.

On the way back to the inn, Nangong Yan asked with some curiosity, "Did this Fang Ren really elope with Qi Fang?" ”

Everyone glanced at each other, but they couldn't give an answer, and at this time, Nangong Yan continued: "Since this Fang Ren and Qi Fang love each other, why do they want to elope, just get married, is it possible that Qi Fa disagrees?" ”

No one had ever asked Qi Fa about this, so they didn't know, but Nangong Yan's words made Su Wuming suddenly have the urge to ask Qi Fa, of course, it won't work tonight.

After everyone rested for a night, the next day the sky was slightly gloomy, and as soon as everyone got up, Song Jingtian hurried over, his face was very bad, and he didn't find any results in his search.

"The people I sent out yesterday searched for a day, but they didn't find the whereabouts of Scareye, Master Su, did you say that this Scarlet Eye knew that we were looking for him, so he hid?"

Su Wuming thought for a moment and said, "Scarlet Eye knows that we are looking for him, but with so many servants looking for him, even if he knows that we are looking for him, we should be able to find out some clues." Speaking of this, Su Wuming paused for a moment, and then said, "Could it be that the scar of the scarred eye is also dressed up with one eye?" ”

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised, and Song Jingtian's eyebrows condensed slightly, and said: "If this is the case, it will be a little difficult to find Scareye!" ”

Su Wuming nodded, what Song Jingtian said was not wrong at all, originally everyone didn't pay much attention to Scar's face, only the scar and one-eye on his face were more eye-catching, thinking it was easy to find, but if Scar and One-eye were fake, then even if this so-called Scarlet Eye walked in front of Su Wuming and the others, they might not be able to determine that it was him.

There may not be too many clues about Scarring Eye for the time being, so at this time, Su Wuming asked, "On the several roads from Baiyin Temple to Hangzhou City, have you ever found suspicious people?" ”

Song Jingtian shook his head: "No, there are not many pedestrians on those roads, I'm afraid it's not easy to investigate." ”

Su Wuming bowed his head, and then after explaining to Song Jingtian, he took someone to Qi's mansion.

Qi Fa's mansion is very large, and it is quite luxurious, after Su Wuming reported his name, a subordinate hurriedly led them to the living room, not much into the living room, Qi Fa ran over with a worried look, after he came, he immediately asked: "Lord Su, is there any news of the little girl?" ”

Seeing that Qi Fa was so anxious, Su Wuming didn't know whether to tell him the result for a while, and after hesitating for a moment, Su Wuming still shook his head: "There is no news of Ling Yan for the time being, but there are some things, I'm afraid I need Qi Yuan's help!" ”

"Master Su has any needs, just say, as long as you can find my daughter!"

Su Wuming bowed his head and asked, "Why did Ling Yan want to go to Baiyin Temple?" ”

"She said that she had a dream, if she wants my Qi family to prosper for a long time, she must go to Baiyin Temple to make a vow, and Fang'er has also been to Baiyin Temple before, so I didn't doubt it and let her go directly."

"Who are you going with?"

"It's only one of her maids, Xiaoqi!"

Su Wuming pondered for a moment, and then continued to ask, "Has Qi Yuanwai felt that Ling Yan was strange recently?" ”

"What do you mean?" Qi Fa couldn't understand the meaning of Su Wuming's words.

"It's not a secret, through investigation, Lord Ben suspects that Ling Yan may have eloped with someone, so Lord Ben wants to know if Ling Yan has such signs?"

As soon as he heard Su Wuming's words, Qi Fa's expression suddenly changed greatly, and he said, "This ...... How is this possible, how could the little girl elope with someone? ”

Su Wuming shrugged, he came to ask this question, but Qi Fa asked himself in turn, how could he answer?

"Qi Yuanwai doesn't need to worry, this is just the speculation of Lord Ben, since Qi Yuanwai has no impression of this, then Qi Yuanwai has ever been married to Ling Yuan's family?"

"When the little girl was seven years old, I once ordered a family affair for her, the other party was the son of a rich family in Hangzhou City, surnamed Jin Mingding, but a few years ago they went to Yangzhou at home, and they have not contacted each other for a few years, I don't know if they still agree with this marriage."

"So do Ling Yan and that Jin Ding have a good impression of each other?"

"This ...... It's hard to say, the little girl is as beautiful as a flower, and she is cute and lovely, I want to be loved by everyone, I haven't seen Jinding for a few years, I don't know what it looks like, but when they were in Hangzhou before, Jinding's character was not favored, so ...... So the little girl may not like him. ”

Qi Fa said so much, just to say that his daughter Qi Fang didn't like Jin Ding, and that Jin Ding must like his daughter.

Su Wuming bowed slightly, and asked again: "Ling Yan likes to be a well-educated person?" ”

"The little girl's tutoring is very strict, in addition to being a female celebrity, this poetry and etiquette has also taught her a lot, the little girl is quite talented in this area, she should like to learn people!" When Qi Fa said this, he seemed to realize something, and hurriedly asked: "Master Su suddenly asked about this, could it be that the person with whom the little girl eloped is a scholar?" ”

Su Wuming was slightly embarrassed, and said again and again: "This matter has not yet been determined, but it is very likely." ”

Qi Fa was silent, and after a moment of silence, he looked at Su Wuming and said, "Please Lord Su must find the little girl, as long as you can find her, even ...... Even if she married the scholar, I agreed. ”

Su Wuming nodded: "Qi Yuanwai can rest assured, since Lord Ben is involved in this case, he must start and finish well and investigate clearly." ”

While the two were talking, a young man walked in from outside, he first saluted Su Wuming, and then said to Qi Fa: "Uncle, all the affairs of the store have been properly explained, Fang Mei, she has no news yet?" ”

This young man is handsome and extraordinary, although he is not very old, but he looks steady and mature, after Qi Fa listened to his words, he let out a long sigh, and then nodded, and after he nodded, he introduced to Su Wuming: "Master Su, this is my nephew Qi Zhong, his father is my cousin, and since my cousin died, he has been living with me." ”

After Qi Fa said these words, Qi Zhong hurriedly saluted Su Wuming and said: "I heard that Lord Su came to Hangzhou, and I have never had the opportunity to see him, but I have seen it today, I am really fortunate in the next three lives, Lord Su has solved the case and is in a daze, I don't know if there is any news of Fang Mei?" ”

Su Wuming shook his head, then looked at Qi Zhong and asked, "Have you been away from the house for the past two days?" ”

"Why is Master Su asking this question?"

"Nothing, a routine question!"

"I've always been in the house, and the matter of the store was also ordered by my uncle this morning, so I went to arrange it."

Qi Zhong's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, Su Wuming bowed slightly after listening to it, and then bowed his hand to Qi Fa and said: "Now that Lord Ben wants to know what he wants to know, I will leave, if there is news of Ling Yan, we will inform you as soon as possible, and if you have news, please go to the Assassin's Mansion as soon as possible!" ”

Qi Fa responded again and again, and it wasn't until Su Wuming and the others left Qi Mansion that he couldn't help but sigh again.

After leaving the Qi Mansion, Wen Wan'er smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth and said, "Xianggong, are you suspicious of that Qi Zhong?" ”

"Oh, how so?"

"As soon as Xianggong came up, he asked him if he was in the mansion, if he was not in the mansion, wouldn't it be possible to kidnap Qi Fang!"

Su Wuming smiled and continued to ask, "Then why does the lady think that Qi Zhong will kidnap Qi Fang?" ”

"It's very simple, Qi Zhong sent people under the fence, it must not be a taste in his heart, although Qi Fa has no son, but after a hundred years, his family property may still be left to Qi Fang instead of him Qi Zhong, but if Qi Fang dies or disappears, then after Qi Fa a hundred years later, this huge family business of the Qi family will probably fall into the hands of Qi Zhong!"

Wen Wan'er analyzed it slightly, and Nangong Yan echoed again and again: "What my sister said is really right, I think it is very likely that Qi Zhong is a kidnapper, don't forget, those bandits are all found by the scarred eye casually, could this be the ghost that Qi Zhong is doing behind his back?" ”
