Chapter 232: The Treasure in the Palm of Your Hand
Min Hu told Xu Lanyin a few words about how well Min Jia had behaved in the past two days, and smiled at Xu Lanting, "Take Jiajia and Xiaoxing to the yard to play." ”
Xu Lanting knew that Brother Min was going to whisper to his sister, so he walked out with one in hand.
Xu Lanyin also saw that Min Hu had something to say, and she happened to have something to say to him. He gave Zhangqi a look, and Zhangqi also retreated, leaving only Qingfeng to serve in the room.
Min Hu's face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice, "I also want to thank Miss Xu for mentioning that awakening child for me, the vertical man of Gui Axe, is really from Tang Moshan." He followed me when I was in Jiaodong, and when I came here, I took him with me, and he actually betrayed me! Once again, he felt frustrated.
Xu Lanyin's eyes widened in surprise, "Really? I just had an extra mouthful, but I didn't expect him to be a ...... Spies. ”
She was secretly glad in her heart that Gui Axe was a confidant of Min Hu, and he was involved in many secret affairs. In the book, Min Hu and Qin Che died unexpectedly, and it is likely that Gui Axe told the informant, and they were assassinated at a critical time.
Min Hu nodded and said, "Miss Xu and Zhao Wu are both my lucky generals, because of you, I solved the big case of the Longxing Inn, and this case helped me find out two internal thieves, and they are also related to another bigger case." He added, "I'm going out on business tomorrow for a while, and I'm going to trouble Miss Xu to take care of Jia'er." I'll only be relieved if I put her in front of you......"
Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "Lord Min is polite, Jia'er is very well-behaved, and our family likes her very much." ”
Seeing Xu Lanyin smiling lightly, Min Hu was extremely helpless and sad.
I thought that I would make it clear to her as soon as the New Year was over, she should be seventeen years old this year, and if she didn't talk about her in-laws first, it would be difficult to do that. However, as soon as Shishi's framing came to light, he couldn't immediately turn his heart to another woman when he thought of that poor woman......
Xu Lanyin saw that Min Hu's eyes looked at him with a little tenderness and sadness, and probably guessed his thoughts, and hurriedly said, "There is something I have always wanted to tell Lord Min, if Lord Min is busy with business, this matter can be done later." ”
"What's the matter? It's okay, there are some things I don't have time to do, and I'll let someone else do it for you. Minhu said. He thought it was Xu Lanyin's private matter, and he was very willing for her to have something to ask for him.
At this time, Zhao Xingchen's laughter sounded outside the window at the right time.
Xu Lanyin said, "It's about Xiaoxing's life experience. I hypnotized him, and I heard some rumors about the mansion of the eldest princess of Nanyang......"
When Min Hu listened to Xu Lanyin's words, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "His name is also Chai Zixiao, and he has the same name and surname as the great-grandson of the eldest princess of Nanyang who drowned, and besides, one drowned and the other appeared in Jingchang Mansion, and the time difference was only a few days......" He thought about it carefully again and said, "Xiaoxing is really a little similar to Chai Jun, I have been in contact with Xiaoxing so many times, and I haven't noticed it." Once again, he felt frustrated.
Xu Lanyin said again, "If it's the same person, I can't figure it out, how can the Nanyang Eldest Princess's Mansion treat the children in the river as his children?" ”
Minhu said that the eldest princess of Nanyang has only one great-grandson, named Chai Zixiao, whose birthday in May was the treasure of the eldest princess and the old concubine, and was less than three years old when she died.
In mid-February last year, Chai Zixiao and his father Chai Jun were on their way home to Shangxiang in Xishan, when he saw a monkey trickster playing with monkeys, and he was noisily getting out of the car to watch.
Chai Jun couldn't, so he had to take him out of the car.
Chai Jun happened to meet a few acquaintances, so he stood aside to talk to the people, and asked his subordinates to accompany him to watch the monkeys. Suddenly encountered a startled horse, the scene was in turmoil, and when the chaos passed, Chai Zixiao disappeared. The subordinates of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, the officials of the Jingzhao Mansion, and the Imperial Forest Army searched for two days and two nights but did not find them.
On the third day, a child's body was found in Baima River on the outskirts of Beijing, the body was white and swollen with water blisters, his face and body were bitten beyond recognition, and his clothes were washed away, but he was wearing a red gold bracelet on his left wrist, and this bracelet was what Chai Zixiao had been wearing. Perhaps because the bracelet is relatively small, it has not been washed away by water......
Min Hu frowned and wondered, "That nurse must have been involved in abducting the child, but why didn't they really dispose of the child, but abducted it to Jingchang Mansion?" ”
Xu Lanyin said, "Yes, I kidnapped the child out, but I didn't kill it, and I found a fake corpse...... I guess that there may be something wrong in the middle, and the child escapes, so he has to make a fake. It is also possible that the person who actually did the work did not kill the child out of some considerations, but took him to Jingchang, and the child took advantage of the chaos to escape......"
Min Hu said, "That kid has suffered so many crimes, but fortunately Zhao Wu destroyed the inn, otherwise he doesn't know if he can grow up." Anyway, I'll talk to Chai Jun privately after I return to Beijing. Although Chai Jun has some arrogance among the children of the clan, he is generally not bad, he is very loved by the emperor, and his reputation is relatively good. It is better not to let the child go back until the Lord has captured him. After thinking about it, he said, "This matter has something to do with Zhao Wu." That incident is too big to be true, let's wait for Zhao Wu to come back......"
The two talked for a while, and Xu Lanyin got up and went to the kitchen.
Xu Lanyin has been gone for a long time, and Min Hu is still digesting Zhao Xingchen is Chai Zixiao's business. It's incredible, it's unthinkable, it's a coincidence......
Qingfeng also whispered, "Uncle, I really didn't expect that the heart and soul baby of the eldest princess of Nanyang is actually a little star." ”
Min Hu was speechless. There are too many things that I didn't expect, including the ...... that happened to me
Min Hu gave Qingfeng a look, and Qingfeng went to the courtyard to call a few children in.
Min Hu pulled Zhao Xingchen in front of him, touched his familiar eyebrows and eyes, and pinched his white and chubby face. When I thought of the first time I saw him in the beggar's den, he was covered in wounds, and his head was wider than his shoulders, and this child was even more unfortunate than Jia'er. Fortunately, they all met Miss Xu, changed their unfortunate fate, and lived so happily again.
Zhao Xingchen was puzzled, "Uncle Min, is my face dirty?" ”
Min Hu smiled and said to Xu Lanting and Min Jia, "Little Star is young, you have to take good care of him." ”
Xu Lanting and Min Jia both gave him a little look that you said.
"We've always loved him."
"Like, little star."
Xu Lanyin came to the kitchen, the chicken soup and mutton bone soup had been boiled, and the dishes were ready. Meat dishes include lamb rolls, pork belly rolls, chicken meatballs, fish meatballs, shrimp meatballs, and cuttlefish. Vegetarian dishes include pickled matsutake mushrooms, bean sprouts, fungus, radish, tofu, tofu skin, pickled yellow flowers, and cabbage.
Frozen shrimp, frozen cuttlefish, and dried matsutake mushrooms were sent by Fujian today.
Xu Lanyin made a few dipping sauces.
