Before Fu Jingene could sit down, Gu Xian sent a maid to invite him.

Fu Jingene snorted and said, "I'll go change my clothes and go to see her again." ”

After changing into dark clothes and washing up, Fu Jingene went to see Gu Xian.

If she hadn't been persuaded by Tan Xing, Gu Xian would have gone to see Fu Jingene by herself.

As soon as she saw him, Gu Xian asked anxiously, "Jing Ene, what did the prefect say?" ”

Fu Jingene said: "Auntie, this matter is not urgent, we will wait patiently for the news." ”

Gu Xian said with a sad face: "Wait, it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey." ”

Fu Jingene didn't answer, but said, "If Aunt has nothing else to do, I'll go back first." ”

Gu Xian was stunned.

This son-in-law was flattering to his mother-in-law before marriage, but her son-in-law seemed to be very tired of her.

Fu Jingene didn't want to talk nonsense with her. After a short contact, he knew what kind of person Gu Xian was, the better you treat her, the more she will kick her nose and face.

Without waiting for Gu Xian to speak, Fu Jingene walked outside.

Gu Xian came back to her senses and said loudly: "Since you don't like me and the Shen family so much, why do you want to come again?" ”

Fu Jingene turned around and said lightly: "The old lady is relieved to come to Fuzhou, Qingshu is worried that her identity can't stand it, so she has no choice but to say that she is coming to Fuzhou." But Fuzhou has been in turmoil recently, and several good girls have disappeared. I didn't worry about her coming, so I took this trip for her. ”

The meaning of these words is obvious, if it weren't for Qingshu coming to Fuzhou, he wouldn't have taken care of this matter.

"You know that Fuzhou has not been peaceful recently, but you still have people send a letter to the capital. As a mother-in-law, do you care about the safety of Qingshu? ”

Gu Xian shook her head and said, "I, I didn't know that Shen Tao sent a letter to the capital. ”

"Then if you know, you will stop it?"

Gu Xian was speechless.

Fu Jingen's face was cold: "I promised Qingshu before I came, and I would find a way to rescue Uncle Shen." I promised to do what was comfortable, and I would definitely do it. ”

"I'm going to try it in May next year, and I need to hurry up and review my books. Time is precious, so I ask my aunt not to disturb me. ”

Gu Xian was ashamed: "Okay." ”

Fu Jingene returned to the courtyard where he stayed, drank a glass of water and began to solve the problem.

After solving the question, I was about to start writing when I heard Jiang Fangfei saying that Shen Tao wanted to see him.

"Let him in."

Fu Jingene looked at his anxious appearance and asked, "The child hasn't been found yet?" ”

Shen Tao said with a look of resentment: "Brother Guan was kidnapped, and the other party said that he would ask for a ransom of 100,000 taels. ”

Fu Jingene was a little surprised and asked, "The child was not handed over to his grandmother, how could he be kidnapped?" ”

Shen Tao said: "My mother-in-law has something to do today, so she asked her mother-in-law to take the child to play in the garden. Who wants to wait for my wife to go over and not find her mother-in-law and children, so people look for it in the garden. As a result, the body of the mother-in-law was found in the flowers, but the child was missing. ”

This is out of the thief.

Fu Jingene asked, "Then what do you do now?" Raise money to ransom people or report to officials? ”

Shen Tao shook his head and said: "I can't report to the official, the other party said that if we report to the official, we will tear up the ticket." ”

Fu Jingene nodded and said, "Of the 100,000 taels of silver you gave me, I only gave 50,000 taels to Governor Meng's mansion." ”

After speaking, he gave the remaining 50,000 taels of silver tickets to Shen Tao, and he said, "There are still 50,000 taels left, who do you go to with such a big gap?" ”

Shen Tao said: "My wife still has more than 30,000 taels of silver in her hand, and the remaining more than 10,000 taels are borrowed from my mother-in-law." ”

Holding the silver ticket, Shen Tao said, "Jing Ene, thank you so much this time." ”

He thought that Fu Jingene would give away 100,000 taels of silver, but he didn't expect to give only half of it.

Fu Jingene waved his hand and said, "Now is not the time to be polite, you hurry up and save people!" ”

Shen Tao got the money and left in a hurry.

Fu Jingene thought for a while, and said to Jiang Fangfei: "You go outside and get the eighth child back." ”

When he came to Fuzhou, the eighth child did not settle in the Shen family. These days, he has been hanging out in teahouses, restaurants, and theaters.

Jiang Fangfei nodded and said, "I'll go now." ”

After the eighth child came back, Fu Jingene said to him: "Shen Tao's son disappeared in the Huo family, and then someone sent a letter to the Huo family to ask for a ransom of 100,000 taels. ”

"How did this kid get out of the Huo family?"

Fu Jingene said: "The child is also more than two years old, and I also want to know how they took people out without being discovered. ”

This alone is very suspicious. In addition, Shen Tao happened to scrape together 100,000 taels of silver, and the other party asked for 100,000 taels of silver. If it's a coincidence, it's too much of a coincidence.

The eighth instantly understood, and said, "Does the boss suspect that this matter has something to do with the people of the Huo family?" ”

"Whether it has anything to do with the Huo family, it's hard to conclude. However, there must be a thief in the Huo family. After speaking, Fu Jingene gave Lao Bawu a denomination of one thousand taels: "Don't be reluctant to spend money, find out about this matter as soon as possible." ”

The eighth child was a little reluctant: "Boss, the Shen family is poor, can this money come back." ”

With so much money, they can't make it for a year.

Fu Jingene glanced at him and said lightly: "Don't worry, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse." As long as Shen Shaozhou comes out safely, the money can be returned. ”

In fact, the money is not his. A lawsuit requires a relationship, so before coming, Mrs. Gu gave Fu Jingene a silver ticket of 20,000 taels.

It's just that what Fu Jingene didn't expect was that the money was not used to settle the relationship, but was used to investigate the Huo family.

The eighth nodded and went out.

In the evening, Gai Chun begged to see Fu Jingene and said to him: "Master Fu, the kidnappers asked our uncle to pay the ransom at two o'clock tonight. ”

Fu Jingene glanced at him and said, "Why did you come to tell me about this?" ”

Gai Chun said: "I always feel that this matter is not simple, if it is a trap uncle, it will be more than lucky." So in this matter, I want to trouble Fu Ye. ”

And he was also worried that the other party would not release the hostages after receiving the money. And Fu Jingene is resourceful, and if he can help, he may not only catch the kidnappers without paying the ransom.

"What do you want me to do?"

Gai Chun said: "I hope you can persuade Uncle Xia not to go in person." We chose a person of his size from the business house or his family, and the other party could not see clearly in the dark light at night. ”

Fu Jingene asked: "If the kidnappers find out and tear up the ticket, can you bear this responsibility?" ”

"Gai Chun, the child must have three longs and two shorts, and neither you nor I can bear this responsibility."

Letting the eighth child investigate is only acting in secret, and on the surface, he will not interfere in this matter.

If you rescue people, you will only get a few good words that are not painful and itchy. But if a child makes a mistake, they will be resented for a lifetime.

Not only will he not benefit from it, but he will cause trouble for Qingshu. He wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

Gai Chun sighed in his heart, and this attitude was obviously unwilling to care: "Master Fu, can I ask Jiang Escort to go up the mountain with us tonight." ”

Fu Jingene refused: "Your Shen family's guards can be called away, and my guards have to stay to watch the house." If they all go with you, who will protect me and my wife if the thieves come in again tonight? ”

Gai Chun didn't speak again.
