Chapter 154: Who is behind the scenes?
About a quarter of an hour later, Ling'er came out of the bottom of the carriage, and saw that Han Fei had been robbed, and the coachman fell in a pool of blood, and immediately clenched his fists, tears flowed down, and his little face turned red with anger. She wiped her tears and thought about it calmly, how to save her young master? Yes, it should be repaid to Yu Shiying, the prefect of Tianfu.
So, she ignored the surprised eyes of passers-by and ran all the way to the mansion. Fortunately, this place is not too far from the government office, and it is only the time of a stick of incense, and the government is already in sight.
"Where did the kid come from...... Stop! β
Ling'er flashed past the errand officer who blocked the way, rushed into the gate of the mansion, and ran directly to the second prefect's duty room, and shouted loudly: "Master, save the young master!" β
Yu Shiying came to the duty room from the backyard, and was holding the fragrant tea brewed by the officials, when he suddenly heard someone shouting outside, and the voice seemed to be very familiar, so he got up and walked towards the door. At this time, Ling'er happened to run into the duty room, knocking Yu Shiying back a few steps, and almost sat on the ground.
"Slaves should be damned!" Ling'er hurriedly helped Yu Shiying, knelt on the ground, and cried: "Master, save the young master!" β
Yu Shiying saw that Ling'er was in an abnormal mood, and she didn't care about scolding her, so she said in a deep voice: "Young master...... Senior Brother Han? Didn't he go to see the master today, what's wrong with him? β
"Master, the young master is going to visit the master today, and he was robbed by a knife-wielding masked gangster on the road just now, save the young master!" Ling'er cried while repeating what had just happened.
"What?"
Yu Shiying was shocked! In broad daylight, in Jinling City, Han Fei was actually kidnapped!
"Ling'er, don't worry, this official will rescue Senior Brother Han, think about it again, do the robbers have any clues to follow?"
Ling'er shook her head and cried: "When I met the robbers, the young master hid the slave and maid in the bottom of the carriage in the secret compartment, and the slave and maid only heard the robber's reprimand, and the sound of a carriage passing by, and when the slave and maid came out, the robber had already captured the young master, and the coachman was killed!" β
"Ling'er, you go back to the house immediately, ask the ladies to stay calm, everything is in charge of the official, if the robbers send any news, report it to the official immediately!"
After Ling'er left, Yu Shiying thought about the reason for the matter, it is said that if the robbers kidnapped Han Fei for money, they had many opportunities to do it before, why did they wait until this time to take the risk of attacking in the city? Could it be related to the hospital exam?
Thinking of this, he immediately called the head of the third class of officials, scattered all the officials, and searched for clues to the robbers, but he himself rushed to the yamen of the Admiralty Academy.
Today is the day when the new Jiangsu Xuezheng Hong Fangzhi met with the new students, he has been waiting for the head of the hospital examination, the legendary Han Qingshan Han Fei, but Han Fei has not seen anyone for a long time, he gradually felt a little unhappy in his heart, and felt that Han Fei was too arrogant. At this time, the official suddenly reported that Yu Shiying, the prefect of Tianfu, was here, and although he was a little surprised, he still went out to greet him in person.
"What did Lord Yu say? The new head of the case, Han Fei, was kidnapped by robbers? Hong Fangzhi glared at Yu Shiying with a look of disbelief.
"Yes, on the way to worship the master, he encountered a knife-wielding robber!" Yu Shiying said in a deep voice: "Don't hide it from Lord Hong, Han Fei is the junior brother of the official, and the official thinks that this matter is too strange!" Senior Brother Han is known as a benevolent person, and the people in the Jiangnan area are grateful to him, and no one will attack him, so take a step back and say, even if there are extremely vicious people who covet Senior Brother Han's money, it will be easier to start when he goes outside the city, why take the risk of starting at this time? β
Hong Fangzhi was stunned and said, "Lord Yu is saying that this matter is related to the hospital examination?" β
"This is the only possibility that makes sense, probably because someone was jealous that Senior Brother Han had won the first place in the hospital examination, and he hired a murderer to kidnap him because he was the first little three yuan in Tianfu!"
Hong Fangzhi's face was gloomy, but a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and he was silent for a while.
Yu Shiying noticed Hong Fangzhi's strange appearance, and couldn't help but say: "If Lord Hong thinks of something, please let me know, Yu is grateful!" β
Hong Fangzhi pondered for nearly a quarter of an hour before he said, "Hong also feels strange about this...... Lord Yu, before the start of the hospital examination, Hong received a note, the other party claimed to be on the order of Governor Zeng, asking Hong not to point Han Fei as the head of the case! β
"Governor Zeng?"
Yu Shiying was shocked, the governor of a province, what reason did he have to embarrass a student who didn't even have a reputation?
"Lord Hong, did the other party leave any evidence?"
"No, Hong only has an unnamed note here, according to Hong's entourage, the person who sent the letter flashed the waist card of the Governor's Palace, but these cannot be used as strong evidence!"
Yu Shiying couldn't help but think about the coping strategy, if it was really Governor Zeng Gong's involvement, the problem would be too big.
"Lord Yu, whether it is the Governor's order or not, I can't draw conclusions for the time being, the top priority is to rescue Senior Brother Ling Han Fei as soon as possible, so as to avoid long nights and dreams!"
"Thank you Lord Hong for reminding me, Yu will leave and go to track down the whereabouts of the robbers!"
Ling'er left the mansion and ran all the way back to the house, because she was running too fast, she knocked over several people in a row, and she herself was physically and mentally exhausted, and her footwork was messy. But she still gritted her teeth and persevered, and rushed to the mansion with all her heart, and when she arrived at the mansion gate, she still kept her feet and rushed directly into the corner gate.
"Ling'er, what's wrong with you?"
Ling'er heard Qinglong's shout, but she ignored it and continued to run in the direction of the backyard. As she was running, she stopped suddenly, staggering and nearly falling.
"Ling'er beware!" Seeing this, Qinglong hurriedly said.
Ling'er's face was pale, she glared at Qinglong, and shouted, "Where are the white tigers?" β
Qinglong didn't understand why Ling'er's face was so terrifying, and said blankly: "They are all ......"
Ling'er didn't wait for Qinglong to finish speaking, and said hurriedly: "You all go out to track down the whereabouts of the young master!" Also, go and tell my father alone, and let all the beggars help the disciples go out to rescue the young master! β
"What's wrong with the young master?" Qinglong was dumbfounded.
"The young master met a knife-wielding robber on the way to worship the master, and was kidnapped by the robbers, you go quickly, and report to Master Yu as soon as there is news!"
After Ling'er finished speaking, she ran to the backyard again, and saw Wang Ruolan and Liu Ru playing chess in the courtyard from a distance, and hurriedly shouted: "Madam, young master, ......" She suddenly thought that Liu Ru was pregnant and couldn't be stimulated, so she stopped talking suddenly.
"Ling'er, didn't you accompany the young master to worship the master, why did you come back alone? What about your young master? Wang Ruolan saw that Ling'er's face was not good, so she hurriedly asked.
Ling'er carried Liu Ruis on her back, glanced at Wang Ruolan, and said, "The young master said that Aunt Liu has collected a good painting and asked the slave to come back and get the ......."
Although Wang Ruolan was puzzled by Ling'er's hints, she still helped, and said: "If my sister has collected any good paintings, go and get them for my sister to enjoy!" β
As soon as Ling'er waited for Liu to leave, she immediately knelt on the ground and cried: "Madam, the young master was robbed by robbers!" β
"What ......"
Wang Ruolan suddenly felt that the world was spinning, fell to the side, and fainted.
"Madameβ"
The maid Wanniang and Ling'er hurriedly hugged Wang Ruolan and rescued her. The other maid, Lan'er, was pale and had a frightened look in her eyes, and stood silently.
