Chapter 092: News from Yangzhou
In the middle of the night, the autumn insects gradually stopped chirping.
Qi Fang in the carriage fainted, the woman and the man next to her kept calling her name, Song Jingtian didn't expect this to happen, but he was not surprised, he knew very well that when he told the news of Qi Fa's death, Qi Fang would definitely not be able to stand it.
At this time, Song Jingtian had no time to care who the man in the carriage was, he ordered several officials to guard here, and then led people to rush into Baiyin Temple.
Now that it has been determined that Qi Fang was kidnapped and entered the Baiyin Temple, then they will no longer be polite to the Baiyin Temple, and the reason why Song is so anxious to rush in today is because he is worried that the people of the Baiyin Temple will break the net with Su Wuming after knowing that the matter is exposed, and for the safety of Su Wuming, he must rush in.
The door of the temple opened, and the crowd flocked in, and the bell rang suddenly in the silence of the night, and the pilgrims woke up, noisy, and talking.
Su Wuming and Tang Xiong rushed out of the house, and when they saw Song Jingtian, they suddenly understood everything, and after Song Jingtian saw them, he immediately ran over and whispered: "I have found Miss Qi Fang, and the monk here wants to take them away overnight." ”
Su Wuming was very satisfied with the news, he nodded slightly, and asked, "What about the monk?" ”
As soon as Su Wuming asked this, a voice of Amitabha Buddha suddenly came, and then the monk ran in a hurry with three points of sleepiness and seven points, but he just ran over, and before he could speak, Song Jingtian suddenly shot out and caught him, because the monk was in a hurry at this time and became three points in a hurry and four points puzzled, he looked at Su Wuming, and asked again and again: "Su Shi...... Master Su, what are you doing, poor monk, this ......"
Because the title of the monk calling Su Wuming has changed, his appearance seems to be very helpless, and in the eyes of Su Wuming, Tang Xiong and others, there is still a bit of pretense.
"Monk Yin, you don't know anything, do you?"
"Su ...... Master Su, what do you mean by this, the poor monk has been resting, what is going on here? ”
Su Wuming's brows furrowed, and he said coldly: "It's really ridiculous, there are three people we have been looking for hidden in this Baiyin Temple, you want to transport them away tonight, but you are now here to ask me what happened?" ”
Hearing Su Wuming's words, the monk immediately defended: "Wronged, Lord Su, the poor monk never knew that there were Tibetans in the monastery, let alone let people take the Tibetan people out, you can't wronged the poor monk like this, as a monk, how can the poor monk do that kind of thing......" Because the monk wanted to continue, but at this time, Su Wuming suddenly shouted: "Come on, bring those monks to Lord Ben." ”
After a while, several officials escorted the monks, and after these monks were escorted, Su Wuming looked at the monk and asked, "Do you recognize these people?" ”
The monk glanced at a few of them and shook his head again and again: "The poor monk doesn't recognize it!" ”
Song Jingtian saw that Monk Yin confessed that he didn't admit it, and his heart suddenly became angry, and he kicked Monk Yin's calf: "Do you know each other?" ”
"I don't know, you just beat the poor monk to death, and the poor monk doesn't recognize them, don't believe you ask them, see if they recognize the poor monk?"
Everyone turned their eyes to the monks, and those monks glanced at each other, and suddenly they all knelt down and begged for mercy: "Lord Su spares his life, the villain knows that he is wrong, please spare his life!" ”
"Do you recognize Monk Yin?"
"I've heard of it, but I've never recognized it!"
Everyone was shocked, and with anger, Su Wuming snorted coldly and asked: "You transferred the hostages from the Baiyin Temple, but now you say that you don't recognize the monk, do you think this official will believe your words?" ”
A monk knelt down and glanced at Su Wuming, and then said tremblingly: "The villain did send hostages from Baiyin Temple, but the villain is not a monk of this Baiyin Temple, he just pretended to be a monk and hid in Baiyin Temple, and we don't recognize the monk at all." ”
The words of these monks are very suspicious, they don't know the cause monk and can't be believed at all, and the reason why they say this is nothing more than to protect the cause monk.
Su Wuming smiled lightly, and then said to Song Jingtian: "Song Zhutou, order someone to monitor Baiyin Temple, and bring these monks and monks back to Hangzhou City." ”
Because the monk saw that Su Wuming insisted on taking him back to Hangzhou City, he knew that it was useless for him to talk about anything else, so he had to be escorted in peace.
After taking those monks into custody, Su Wuming and the others could rush to Hangzhou City, although it was night, there were not a few hours left before dawn, and when they arrived at Hangzhou City, the city gate was only afraid that it would be opened early.
On the way, Su Wuming got into the carriage, when he got into the carriage, Qi Fang had already woken up, this was the first time Su Wuming saw Qi Fang, her appearance at this time was very pitiful, which made people feel love, there were two people sitting next to her, these two people were a man and a woman, they were very concerned about Qi Fang, and they had been comforting her.
Su Wuming didn't need to ask, he could guess that this woman was Qi Fang's maid Qiqi, and the man looked like a scholar, thinking that it was Fang Ren who left Baiyin Temple at about the same time as Qi Fang.
The road was still far away, and Su Wuming felt that it was understandable to ask some information on this boring way, so he looked at the man and asked, "Your Excellency is Fang Ren?" ”
The man was startled and hurriedly asked, "Su ...... How did Master Su know? ”
Su Wuming smiled lightly: "Miss Qi Fang didn't return home for a long time, so Lord Ben sent someone to investigate, and later felt that Miss Qi Fang was likely to elope with someone, and the situation at that time, I'm afraid only Fang Ren and you are in line." ”
Fang Ren was slightly embarrassed and said, "What Master Su said is good, Xiao Sheng...... Xiaosheng and Miss Qi Fang have already made a private agreement for life, but they are afraid that Qi Yuan will not agree, so they met secretly, originally this time we have discussed in Baiyin Temple, and after returning to Hangzhou City, I will come to the door to propose, as for what Master Su said...... elopement, but there is no such thing. ”
Maybe Fang Ren and Qi Fang really considered eloping, but now that the two of them have been kidnapped, they naturally can't elope.
Su Wuming pondered for a moment and continued to ask, "What happened after that?" ”
"Xiaosheng and Miss Qi Fang left Baiyin Temple one after another, in order not to make people suspicious, but not long after we left, we just got together, and we were suddenly knocked unconscious by the people who rushed out, and when we woke up, we didn't know where we were, until not long ago when those people wanted to transfer us, we saw that the person who kidnapped us turned out to be a monk in Baiyin Temple."
After listening to Fang Ren's words, Su Wuming glanced at Qi Fang, although Qi Fang was grief-stricken, he still nodded, indicating that what Fang Ren said was not bad at all.
Since things are not bad at all, then these are not much different from Su Wuming's speculation, but why did these people kidnap Qi Fang and them?
Of course, this question should be asked most about those kidnappers, but now that Su Wuming is in the same carriage with Qi Fang, it is naturally better to ask Qi Fang first.
"Miss Qi Fang, after you were kidnapped, did that group say the purpose of kidnapping you?"
Qi Fang thought for a moment and shook his head: "They didn't say that since we were kidnapped, this group of people rarely talked to us, only came to visit us during dinner, and because it was dark in the house, we had very little waking time, and there were even fewer opportunities to see that group." ”
"Did you ask when you saw them?"
"At first, we asked, but the group didn't say anything, just looked at us and laughed evilly, and then we asked again, and they were a little impatient, so they gagged us with something."
After listening to Qi Fang's narration, Su Wuming frowned, he didn't expect that this group of kidnappers would never tell their purpose when facing Qi Fang and the others; It is impossible for them to arrest people for no reason, so what is their purpose in kidnapping Qi Fang?
Does the person who killed Qi Fa have anything to do with this gang of kidnappers?
The carriage was bumpy on the night road, and the car was quiet, and Su Wuming had no intention of asking again.
The sky gradually brightened, and the fog rose in the autumn morning, and by the time they arrived in Hangzhou, the fog had cleared, leaving only delicate dew drops among the leaves and flowers.
Entering Hangzhou City, Su Wuming couldn't take a break, and immediately proposed to interrogate those monks, but Song Jingtian and the others didn't sleep all night, and they rushed to the road in the middle of the night, they were really sleepy, when Ding Wei saw this, he persuaded Su Wuming: "Lord Su must also be very sleepy, this official seems to be not as good as this, everyone go to rest first, there is no need to rush this interrogation, fortunately, Miss Qi Fang has been rescued, isn't it?" ”
Ding Wei's words were not bad at all, Tang Xiong was also afraid that Su Wuming would be tired, so he comforted him again and again, and when Nangong Yan and Wen Wan'er learned that Su Wuming was back, they also hurriedly came, and when they saw that Su Wuming's eyes were slightly swollen, they strongly persuaded him to rest first.
A woman's words sometimes work better than reason, and Su Wuming can only accept it in the end.
And just when Su Wuming was resting until about noon, Jiang Ying rushed back from Yangzhou City, Su Wuming asked him to investigate the matter of Jin Ding, who had a marriage contract with Qi Fang, and now that he came back from Yangzhou, it means that he inquired about the situation.
After Su Wuming learned that Jiang Ying came back, he had no intention of resting, so he hurriedly called Jiang Jiangying and asked, "What did you hear?" ”
"Back to Lord Su's words, after the subordinates rushed to Yangzhou, they contacted the Lord Thorn of Yangzhou City, with the help of the Lord Thorn Shi, the subordinates learned about Jin Ding's home, but when the subordinates rushed to it, the place had changed owners, after repeated inquiries, it was learned that the Jin family failed to do business, Jin Ding's parents died one after another because they couldn't bear the blow, and Jin Ding suddenly disappeared a few months after the death of his parents."
"So the golden tripod is gone?"
"Yes, sir!"
