Chapter Twenty-Eight: Father and Daughter Reunited
Hearing someone shouting at the side of the road for his uncle, Yue Su turned his head curiously and looked over.
There were two carriages on the side of the road, one was supposed to have people sitting on it, and the other was pulling several boxes on it. There were a few servants and servants standing next to the car, and when the servants saw Yue Su turn around, they saw it clearly, and pointed and shouted: "It's my aunt!" ”
Follow, bow down together, "The little ones see my aunt." ”…… Yue Su took the reins, he really couldn't remember where he had seen these little guys, and the curtain of the carriage was not opened, so he couldn't see who was sitting inside. Yue Su could only ask, "Who are you calling my aunt?" ”
After speaking, he looked at the people behind him again.
The people behind him were even more inexplicable, they really didn't know who the 'aunt' was calling, and looking at the posture of those little guys, it didn't seem like a joke, so they looked at each other.
There was a leader among the little guys, this kid took a step forward and said with a smile: "The little one is Ruan Xiaosi, doesn't my aunt remember me." ”
As soon as he heard that his surname was Ruan, Yue Su immediately reacted and hurriedly said, "Are you from the Aoyue family?" ”
"Auntie, exactly. My husband is in the car. Ruan Xiaosi said with a smile.
Master! Isn't that my father-in-law? Yue Su turned over and dismounted, walked a few steps to the front of the carriage, bowed and saluted, "Son-in-law see Lord Yue." ”
Seeing Yue Su calling Yue Zhang, Lord Zhizhou, Tie Qiu, and Xing Ying all hurriedly dismounted and looked at the carriage.
Yue Su is only wearing regular clothes now, after all, the crown and belt of the Criminal Department Shangshu are too eye-catching. The people on the side, who didn't know what to do, really wondered in their hearts, why did this young man get off the horse, and even the Lord Zhizhou and the head catcher and errand had to follow, what is the origin of this person.
The little servant of the Ruan family only knew that his uncle was a big official, and he didn't know what kind of official he was. Honestly stood aside, waiting for the master to come out and talk to his uncle.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, the curtain of the carriage was not opened, and only Ruan Zhenmei's voice came from inside, "Is it Bingyan?" ”
"It's the son-in-law." Yue Su said respectfully.
"Is Aoyue okay now?"
"If you go back to your father-in-law, it's very good." Yue Su still replied respectfully.
"That's good." Ruan Zhenmei said lukewarmly: "The old man was activated by the emperor and promoted to the right deputy capital of the Imperial Palace, and now he is rushing to Beijing to see His Majesty, so I won't say more to you." ”
After that, there was no more sound in the carriage.
Yue Su wondered in his heart, what does the old man mean by this, even if you are in a hurry to enter Beijing, you are not in a hurry for a moment, what is even more puzzling is that you have to meet each other.
But Yuezhang said this, Yue Su couldn't ask to see him with a dead face, so he bowed down and said, "Since Yuezhang is in a hurry, then please enter the city first." ”
"The old man didn't plan to enter the city. Xiao Si, catch the car directly and go north to Beijing. Ruan Zhenmei said coldly.
"Ah......" Ruan Xiaosi almost didn't sit on the ground when he heard this. At noon, I was going to rush into the city for dinner, but how could I change it to go north directly. What's wrong with this old man and uncle, it seems that something is wrong. Although he was suspicious in his heart, he didn't dare to say much, so he could only nod and say, "The little one obeys orders." ”
"Departure ......"
The old man just left, Yue Su was confused, Tie Qiu went to Ruan's house with Yue Su back then, and the situation at that time was not bad, why didn't you see each other for a few years, and it became like this. It stands to reason that the old man should at least ask long and short questions, and there is no reason to face it. Isn't there such a custom in Guangxi?
Yue Su watched the carriage leave, not a feeling in his heart, but he also felt that there was something in it. Xing Ying's group didn't dare to ask more, but Tie Qiu walked up to Yue Su and whispered: "My lord, what's going on, my subordinates will be confused." ”
"Don't say you're confused, even I'm confused. Let's do it......" Yue Su pondered for a moment and said, "Didn't Yue say that he was going to enter Beijing to take up a job, and His Majesty would see you." Hurry back to Jingshi, tell your lady about this place, and ask her to go out of the city to meet your father-in-law. By the way, what the hell is going on. ”
"My subordinates understand." The iron sage bowed down to receive the order, and he was about to get on his horse and hurry.
However, he was stopped by Yue Su, "Don't be in a hurry for a while, it's too late to leave after lunch." ”
After that, Yue Su returned to his horse, and the group entered Bazhou, and had a simple lunch in Yamen.
Tie Qi rode alone, the speed was naturally very fast, and at the time of the second watch, he had already arrived in the capital. Showing the Shuntianfu waist card, the officers and soldiers defending the city did not dare to slack off, and immediately opened the city to let them go. Riding a horse and rushing to the yamen, the officer on duty of course also knew the iron master, and opened the door to let him in.
Tie Qiu came all the way to the back house, Yue Su's back house was unimpeded for him and Jin Chan, and called Mei'er and asked her to help inform Mrs. that she had something important to see.
Mei'er immediately spread the news that Ruan Aoyue had already undressed and slept, hurriedly dressed and came out to meet Tie Qiu. Tie Qiu told Yue Su about meeting Ruan Zhenmei, and finally conveyed Yue Su's entrustment.
After listening to Tie Qiu's narration, Ruan Aoyue also wondered in her heart, since she married Yue Su, she hadn't met her father for many years, and it stands to reason that when her father sees his son-in-law, he should be as kind as he sees his daughter. How could it be so indifferent.
After hesitating, she instructed Tie Qiu to send someone out of the city to meet her tomorrow morning, and if she saw her father's carriage coming, she would immediately report that she would go to pick up her father in person and see what it was for.
The six gates, the local catchers of Shuntianfu and Bazhou scattered out to find the corpses of the guards and the whereabouts of the silk goods. In addition to Xing Ying, who was still following Yue Su's side, the six major headhunters, including Jin Chan and Li Zhong, were all dispatched.
Bao Chop and Zhu Po were mainly responsible for finding the corpse, because the silk goods might be able to be transported farther, but the corpse would never be pulled too far and would have to be disposed of at night. There were only a few secluded places on the left, and everyone went separately, and when they saw the loose soil, they started to excavate, and it only took a day to find the location where the body was buried. The number of guards is really quite a lot, there are more than 70 people, but it is the same number as Zhang Sheng's confession.
The body was found by Bao Behead, he examined the corpse first, almost all of them were fatal with a knife, obviously the opponent has been trained for many years and is extremely combative. With so many corpses, he couldn't transport them back, so he asked his subordinates to return to Bazhou immediately and report to the adults according to the truth.
On the other hand, Zuo Kill, Shi Keng, Jin Chan, and Li Zhong were ordered to find silk goods, and the four of them led people to pursue in the four directions of southeast, south, and northwest, and Jin Chan took people in the direction of Baoding.
Along the way, there was nothing to discover, this time, everyone came to Baoding City. It is better to be aware of such things, and the big guys are all dressed in the costumes of tolerance, and when they enter the city, they immediately disperse and look for silk houses along the streets.
Jin Cicada took four messengers to look along the street, didn't go far, and saw a small silk village, the name of the satin village is auspicious satin village, Jin Cicada entered the door directly, the guy saw that there were people wearing messenger clothes entering the door, startled, and quickly smiled accordingly, "I don't know what the master wants to choose here, the small shop must give a big discount." ”
"We're not here to buy things, we're here to investigate cases. I have a few things I want to ask you, and you have to answer them truthfully, otherwise you will blame Grandpa for being unkind to you. After the golden cicada finished speaking, he gave the catcher next to him a look.
The catch is fast for six doors, a few steps to grab in front of the guy, "brush" the ground, take out the waist card, shouted: "Six doors to investigate the case, dare to be dishonest, it is the crime of banditry!" ”
If this is a fast catch in the city, the buddy's courage can be a little stronger, and when he heard that it was six doors, he was almost scared to turn his back. Baoding is very close to Yanjing, of course, I have heard of the origin of the six doors, which is a special investigation of big cases and important cases, and is targeted by these people, but there is no good fruit to eat. Hurriedly nodded and said: "The little one must be honest, and he knows everything and says everything." ”
"Let me ask you, these days, have people come here to peddle silk goods?" Jin Cicada asked sternly.
"This ...... This...... There is no ......," the guy said, slurring.
The batch of silk goods that I received at the beginning were obviously stolen goods, and the shopkeeper saw it clearly, and this guy probably realized it. Later, the shopkeeper also instructed the man not to talk nonsense, and not to mention it to anyone. Now the people of the six doors came to ask, and although he was afraid, he did not dare to tell the truth.
However, his expression had completely betrayed him, what did these people in the six doors do, they were very good at what they were saying. As soon as I saw his reaction, I immediately saw that he was lying.
The catcher who just pulled out the card raised his hand and it was a slap in the face. "Smack!" This slap was really hard enough, and he directly knocked the guy to the ground, and then scolded: ", what did you say? Again, is there any? ”
The guy fell to the ground, it was a gold star in his eyes, it took him a long time to react, he had suffered a lot, this time he didn't dare to panic anymore, and said honestly: "Yes...... There was ......"
"Scolded, don't look at what the master is doing, and dare to be dishonest. Say, where is the goods now? Catcher shouted loudly.
The six-door fast case-handling style has always been ruthless enough. If this matter is to be exchanged for Jin Cicada, it must continue to be pressed, and if you can't come up, you can do it, and it can be regarded as civilized law enforcement. But the six doors don't care about that set, if you find a flaw, you can hit it when you come up, and you can't be honest.
"...... in the back," the fellow replied tremblingly.
Quickly leaned over and picked up the gang, shouting, "Lead the way!" ”
"Yes, yes......" The guy was already frightened, and nodded in agreement.
Led by the man, several people followed to the back hall, and as soon as they turned the door, they saw an elderly man walking towards him.
The movement in front was not small, and the shopkeeper also faintly heard it in the back, and he didn't know what was going on, so he hurried over. As soon as the guy saw the shopkeeper, he was relieved, pointed to the shopkeeper and said: "Poor master, this is our shopkeeper, I don't know the specific things, you still ask him." ”
Okay, come up and sell it to your own shopkeeper.
As soon as Jin Chan and the others heard this, they immediately glared at the shopkeeper, and two catchers rushed up and grabbed the shopkeeper's side. The shopkeeper was startled when he saw that the other party was from the yamen, and it was this posture, and asked cautiously: "A few poor masters, I don't know what happened to the trumpet?" ”
