Chapter Seventy-Nine: I'm Not in a Hurry If You're in a Hurry
The news spread to the palace first, and the empress also learned about her brother's kidnapping before Han Jian and Yang Xi rushed to Ye'an Pavilion. In the Ye'an Pavilion, the empress summoned Han Jian and Yang Xi, and at the same time met the emperor with Yu Han, the leader of the headquarters of the Shen Criminal Division.
Han Jian still didn't have a chance to meet Ling Jun, the deputy chief minister of the Shangting Division, the real person in charge behind the Prudential Punishment Division, and the head of the spy of the Great Wei Dynasty.
“…… Nonsense, a few of you are jealous of the prostitution house, and you are full of alcohol, so that the thieves have a chance to take advantage of it! After the honest Yang Xi reported the case truthfully, the empress angrily reprimanded Han Jian and Yang Xi. The empress didn't expect that her two good brothers would go to a place called Yuhualou at the same time with the king of the east and several of her good courtiers, and even one of them would be kidnapped.
"Where is the Tingwei Mansion? Let him come and see me quickly......" The empress snorted at Lu Shaokun, the trembling eunuch on the side, and Han Jian could also see that the empress was really angry, but the empress didn't take her anger on him and Yang Xi.
"Your Majesty, old slave...... This is going to spread the word......" Lu Shaokun said nervously.
"You two go back, meditate on yourself, cultivate yourself in the past few days, and don't meddle in this case." The empress looked at Han Jian and Yang Xi in a stern tone, but there was a little love in her eyes, as if she hated Han Jian and Yang Xi indisputably.
Han Jian said very little from beginning to end, and when he and Yang Xi were "driven" out of Ye'an Pavilion by the empress and were about to leave the palace, he let out a long sigh.
"Brother Han, you say...... But how is it good? Third brother, he ...... "Yang Xi was absent-minded when he came out of the Ye'an Pavilion, as if his brother's disappearance was all his fault, and as soon as he came out, he annoyed Han Jian to ask questions.
Han Jian looked at the sky, it was almost the middle of the night, and he didn't sleep on the warm pillow on the high bed at this time, but now he was being trained by the emperor in the palace, and he felt very unhappy.
"Didn't Your Majesty say that we don't need to meddle in this case. Don't meddle either. Han Jian said.
"Why? It's my third brother who is missing, can I not be in a hurry? Brother Han, you and I have a tacit understanding when investigating fraud cases, why don't you ......"
Han Jian waved his hand to interrupt Yang Xi's words and said, "It makes sense that Your Majesty doesn't let us interfere, but if you care, it's chaotic, this case is not a fraud case after all." ”
Yang Xi muttered to himself, "If you care, you will be chaotic", and finally nodded helplessly, at this time, many people from the three divisions and six departments outside the palace had already been summoned to the palace overnight.
"I'll go back first." Han Jian said, "You can also take a good rest." Since the thieves are kidnapping and not hurting, then they must have a purpose, and if they really come for the bandits of the Tingwei Mansion, they will immediately put forward conditions. Calm down and wait until tomorrow when you come to the house. ”
"Hmm." Yang Xi was confused about the case, and was explicitly ordered by the empress not to interfere in the case, so he had no idea at the moment. He also felt that what Han Jian said was reasonable, but he was concerned about it.
Han Jian walked out directly from the main gate of the palace under the guidance of the little eunuch, while Sima Yi and Lin Zhan were still waiting, but Huang Lie took the first step back to the annex of his old nest in the capital.
"Young boy, how is the case progressing?" As soon as Han Jian came out, Sima Yi greeted him and asked.
"The case has been handed over to the Criminal Division." Han Jian said, "Luoyang will be a little chaotic these days, try to go out as little as possible." Brother Lin, if it's okay, you can go back first. ”
Lin Zhan said: "There is such a serious case of the kidnapping of the prince in the capital, and the Tingwei Mansion has the responsibility to arrest the thief, and he must return to the Tingwei Mansion first." ”
"Hmm." Han Jian thought to himself that only Lin Zhan would be so conscientious, coupled with the previous arrest of the bandits, Lin Zhan was the first merit, and there were few people who had the ability in the entire Tingwei Mansion.
Han Jian confessed a few more words, and the few people dispersed first. Han Jian and Sima Yi were escorted back to the Dongwangfu Annex, while Lin Zhan went directly to Yuhualou.
When Lin Zhan left, Sima Yicai smiled evilly: "That guy was kidnapped, and he is to blame." It's better to have your ticket torn up. ”
Han Jian glared at him, Sima Yi smiled, and said no more.
……
……
In Han Jian's heart, Yang Yu has a different position from him, so naturally there is no possibility of an alliance with the government. If Yang Xi was kidnapped, Han Jian would do his best to rescue him, whether it was out of the righteousness of his friends or out of political considerations. But now that it is Yang Yu who is being kidnapped, Han Jian also has a little schadenfreude in his heart.
As a prince, it is no longer right to go out to look for flowers and ask willows, and when you go to a mixed place such as Yuhualou in Qingliu Lane, your martial arts are not high but you don't bring many followers, and you are only worried about thieves. When Han Jian thought of the female assassin, he felt that the other party was fully prepared, and he could first rescue the woman of the He family, and then use the female assassin to pretend to be "Miss He" as an internal response, and finally successfully kidnapped Yang Yu.
The next day, Han Jian and Sima Yi got up very late in the morning, and after freshening up and having breakfast, Han Jian asked the guards about the new day in Luoyang. Surprisingly, after Yang Yu's disappearance, Luoyang City was generally calm, and there was no martial law on the streets, not even a curfew. The city gate was wide open, and the merchants and civilians entered and exited as usual, but checkpoints were set up at the city gate to investigate.
During breakfast, Sima Yi asked: "Young boy, do you say that Your Majesty doesn't want to save people anymore and leave him to fend for himself?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense." Han Jian said.
"Why don't you order the guards and the Tingwei Mansion to close the city gate and search the whole city?"
Han Jian said: "Obviously, since the kidnappers kidnapped the prince, they must have thought that the imperial court would go all out to arrest him." They must have planned how to hide people in the city without being discovered, but now the court is loose outside and tight inside, in fact, they are luring the kidnappers to transport people out of the city, which is a plan to lure the snake out of the hole. ”
Sima thought about it for a long time with his head sideways, and he didn't quite understand what Han Jian said. Han Jian sighed, Sima borrowed his mind to be his hero, although most of the time Sima borrowed clever like a monkey, but lacked the overall situation on some issues.
"Let's go." After breakfast, Han Jian greeted, "Go to Yashe first, it is estimated that Yang Gongzi and others are in a hurry." ”
Sima said: "So early, he shouldn't have gotten up yet, right?" ”
Han Jian didn't reply to him, and when the two arrived at the Qingxu House, Yang Xi was already impatient to wait, and when he saw Han Jian and Sima borrowing over, he had already personally greeted him at the door.
"Young Master Yang? It's early. Sima greeted Yang Xi with a smile, "Brother Ling...... But rescued? ”
"No, I don't. That's what I'm here for. ”
Han Jian gestured to go upstairs to talk, after all, discussing these things on the street would cause some unnecessary trouble.
On the way upstairs, Yang Xi couldn't wait to tell him about the situation at this time last night. To sum up, there has been no progress in the case of Yang Yu's disappearance, and there has been no progress in the Tingwei Mansion, the Guard Station, the Criminal Division, and the Third Division.
"Brother Han, can you tell me...... What to do? Yang Xi finally asked Han Jian nervously.
Han Jian now found out that as soon as Yang Xi had something, he had habitually come to him for help, as if he was omnipotent. Han Jian also knew that Yang Xi grew up in the palace, and in the past, he faced not only those Confucian gentlemen who were full of benevolence and morality, but also the palace eunuchs who didn't even dare to say much.
Now that Yang Xi has just come out of the birdcage, when he encounters something, he can only hope that he will help.
