The dark night is like an infinite thick ink smearing heavily on the sky.

Fu Jingene was tired of reading and walked out of the house.

The courtyard is deep, and you can only look up at a few thin stars. The night was as heavy as his heart.

Jiang Fangfei said: "Master, everything is packed, and we can leave early tomorrow morning." ”

When I came, I didn't bring anything but food. When I went back, I had a lot of stuff.

Fu Jingene nodded.

As he was talking, he heard a knock on the door, and Jiang Fangfei shouted, "Huzi, you go and open the door." ”

Huzi trotted over to open the door, and then welcomed Shen Shaozhou in.

Shen Shaozhou handed a square box to Fu Jingene and said, "You have worked hard during this time, this is a little bit of my heart." ”

Fu Jingene didn't shirk, nodded and asked, "When are you going to go to Pingzhou?" ”

Shen Shaozhou said: "When your aunt's health is better, we will go to Pingzhou, as for the kidnapping of Brother Guan'er, I will let people secretly investigate." ”

He must find out who framed him and kidnapped the official's brother.

"By the way, Jingne, there is a sea ship going to Tianjin the day after tomorrow, do you want to take a boat back?"

Fu Jingene shook his head and said, "No need, we'll ride back tomorrow." ”

The dangers at sea are unpredictable, and if you encounter bad weather such as hurricanes or high waves, it can be a life-or-death. His beautiful life has just begun, and he is willing to take risks, so he would rather work hard than take a sea boat.

Shen Shaozhou didn't persuade again, he had already seen that Fu Jingene was a person with a very good idea, and the things he decided would not be easily changed.

Fu Jingene took out a piece of paper from the desk and said, "This is something that my entourage has found, and it should be helpful to you." ”

Shen Shaozhou took it, and when he saw the name on the paper, his pupils shrank: "What did Zhang Xiaohai do?" ”

Zhang Xiaohai is Huo Yinghang's henchman.

Fu Jingene said: "From the time when the mother-in-law took the official brother to play in the garden to the time when the grandmother found out that the child was missing, only this Zhang Xiaohai went out with a box. ”

"Box, what box?"

After speaking, Fu Jingene pointed to the square box that Shen Shaozhou put on the table: "The box that is more than twice as big as this box is no problem for Brother Guan." And at that time he did not go through the main gate, but went out through the corner gate. Later, Brother Guan'er disappeared, and the old man Ying, who was guarding the corner gate, muttered to her mother-in-law that Zhang Xiaohai looked a little struggling when he was holding the box. ”

Shen Shaozhou's face changed greatly: "You mean, Brother Guan was hidden in that box by him?" ”

Fu Jingene didn't answer his question, but continued: "Yesterday morning, Mrs. Huo re-slapped the gatekeeper guarding the gate and the two corner gates. The old man Ying was beaten thirty times when he was old, and he choked when he carried it back. ”

This news was dug up by Lao Ba at a large price from the old man's mother-in-law.

The reason why the old man's mother-in-law told the news was because of the money, and because she hated the Huo family.

Shen Shaozhou's face was pale. The Huo family must not have told Shen Tao about this, otherwise he would not have said a word to himself. Mrs. Huo didn't tell Shen Tao without telling it, which showed that this matter had nothing to do with Zhuo Yinghang.

As if knowing what he was thinking, Fu Jingene said: "I inquired that Zhuo Yinghang lost more than 50,000 taels of silver in the gambling house. ”

Shen Shaozhou's face changed greatly: "You lost so much? ”

Fu Jingene sneered: "People are stupid and have a lot of money, and others don't get him to get anyone." ”

Such a fat sheep is replaced by him and he has to set up a game, but from this incident, it can also be seen that the Huo family is strong and strong, otherwise the gambling house would not dare to calculate Zhuo Yinghang like this.

Although he believed that it was Zhuo Yinghang who kidnapped the official's brother, he still had to say the scene: "This is just my guess, as for whether he kidnapped this, you have to verify it yourself." ”

Shen Shaozhou's eyes when he looked at Fu Jingene changed suddenly. He knew that Fu Jingene had outstanding abilities, but he didn't expect that the other party would be even better than he expected. However, he found so many things in two days, and his son still believes that his enemy kidnapped Brother Guan'er. This gap is really a heaven and a place.

Fu Jingene said lightly: "Before leaving Beijing, the old lady gave me 20,000 taels of silver, and I have spent almost 4,000 taels since I left Beijing. If you're short on money, I'll give you the rest of the money. ”

Thinking about the old lady of the Lu family and comparing it with the old lady Gu, Shen Shaozhou is really miscellaneous: "No, you can bring this money back to Beijing and return it to the old lady." ”

Fu Jingene snorted and said lightly: "It's nothing, I went into the house to read." ”

Shen Shaozhou nodded and went back.

Jiang Fangfei opened the box and looked at the contents in surprise: "Master, what is this?" ”

Seeing the thing in the box, Fu Jingene's expression moved slightly, and it turned out to be a flintlock pistol.

In fact, the night before coming to Fuzhou, Qingshu wanted to give him the cherished flintlock pistol, but Fu Jingene refused, he felt that Qingshu needed this gun to protect himself.

Jiang Fangfei was overjoyed when he heard this, and took out the flintlock pistol: "I've only heard of this thing all along, and this is the first time I've seen it." ”

After the observation, Jiang Fangfei rejoiced: "It's also fortunate that those pirates didn't bring flintlock pistols that day, otherwise we would be in danger." ”

Fu Jingene said: "Although this flintlock pistol is powerful, it also has a huge weakness, it has to change the gunpowder after one shot. The interval between the arrows was enough for me to shoot the pirate through. ”

This thing is expensive, and even if the pirates do, they can only be in the hands of a few bosses. And because of its weakness, he felt that he was not afraid.

After Shen Shaozhou went back, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

Gu Xian saw that something was wrong, sat up and asked, "What's the matter, your face is so ugly?" ”

Shen Shaozhou shook his head and said, "It's nothing." ”

Gu Xian knew that he was going to find Fu Jingene, and smiled bitterly at the moment: "I do owe a lot to Qingshu over the years, but this has nothing to do with you, he shouldn't be angry with you." ”

She now understands why Fu Jingene has a bad attitude towards her, he is complaining about Qingshu again.

Shen Shaozhou shook his head and said, "No, what he said has nothing to do with Qingshu." ”

At this time, Gu Xian didn't understand: "What is that?" ”

Shen Shaozhou sighed heavily and said, "This matter is more complicated, and I can't say a word or two. ”

Afraid that Gu Xian would ask again, Shen Shaozhou said, "I'll tell you in a few days." ”

Gu Xian is not a person who can hide her words, if she tells her, she is afraid that her daughter-in-law will know tomorrow.

Although some things have been investigated, these are not enough to conclude that the kidnapping of Brother Guan'er was planned by Zhuo Yinghang. Only when the evidence is conclusive, can he go to the Huo family to ask for an explanation.

Thinking of this, his heart sank. If this matter was really done by Zhuo Yinghang, Shen Tao and Huo Pearl must not stay in Fuzhou.

Gu Xian thought for a while and said, "Shaozhou, don't think about it too much. After so many things, our family is safe and sound, and I feel that it is already God's love. ”

As long as people are safe and sound, nothing else matters.
