Although the matter was urgent this time, the road was too far, and Hu Yanjin insisted on letting Hua Qiao take the carriage, which could also reassure the master and his wife. The carriage in the James Mansion was large, and the two officials sat in front of the carriage, glancing curiously from time to time, and the girl in the back who was dressed as a master.

The two analyzed along the way, if it was kidnapped for money, there was no extortion after the disappearance; If it is to retaliate against the kidnapping, the identities of the missing people are different and there is no intersection, then there is only one left: revenge on society and create panic.

"Could it be that there is one or a group of people in Nanzhili who expressed their dissatisfaction with the Ming Dynasty in such a way that harmed innocent people? If that's the case, he should expose the corpse, hang it at the city gate, chop it up and wrap it into buns, so as to achieve a better intimidation effect......"

Hua Qiao sat by the window of the carriage and said seriously to Hu Yanjin, who was riding a horse next to him.

Hu Yanjin was not surprised, and the two little officials in front of the carriage were so frightened that their hairs stood on end: Oops...... This girl can't be provoked, she's too vicious! Even if you kill someone, you still have to wrap human meat buns, and you won't let people eat buns well in the future? Fortunately, I will eat steamed buns tomorrow morning.

When crossing Ziyinggou, Hua Qiao remembered that Hu Yanjin had seen Tao Qingyu in Shuntian Mansion, and he didn't know if Miss Tao had returned.

Yi Chengjin's carrier pigeon they let go once, because they didn't know if they could fly back, Hu Yanjin only wrote a small note, asking him how the weather was in Shuntianfu.

The note was held in Yi Chengjin's hand for a long time, and he was guessing, what is the meaning behind Hu Yanjin's words? Is it to ask the emperor? The emperor is the sky.

Tao Qingyu, who stayed in Shuntian Mansion for a month, said: "Hey, why do you want so much? Is that still hard to answer? The sun is out today. I'll write! ”

Two days later, she was pleasantly surprised to see that the pigeon had stopped on its cage and brought back a note with a round sun drawn on it.

Hu Yanjin also wondered, when did Yi Chengjin become a soul painter?

Hua Qiao patted her head and said: "It must be that Qingyu is still in Shuntian, this sun was painted by her, she said that the weather in Shuntian is good, and the sun is out!" ”

Pigeon: Four thousand miles away, the hair is blown off, you are teasing me.

After resting overnight in Gaoyou, in the evening of the next day, Hua Qiao saw the blue brick city wall of Yingtianfu for the first time.

In the evening of Yingtianfu, the streets are still bustling. Taizu forbade the advocacy, not only abolished official prostitutes, but also all officials lived in prostitutes with 60 rods. When Emperor Yongle arrived, the Ming Dynasty began to gradually become rich, and the officials in Yingtianfu began to secretly play some new tricks.

In some hidden alleys, some people with official backgrounds will open a kind of restaurant, called "Changchun Courtyard".

There were no beautiful women in it, only some very good-looking men to make wine. When the wine was drunk, he let these wines take off the man's coat, revealing the red and purple women's clothes inside.

Emperor Yongle moved north, and these remaining officials knew that they could not be reused, and they were even more unscrupulous, so they simply called this kind of restaurant "South Courtyard".

Hu Yanjin stayed for half a month last time, and he had already made Yingtian clear. Seeing these staggered southern courtyards, Hu Yanjin's heart moved, could it be that those missing men would be related to these southern courtyards?

Hua Qiao didn't know this, she only felt that Ying Tianfu was bigger than Bao Ying, and even how many times bigger than Yangzhou, so she just stared and looked around, thinking in her heart: No wonder there are a few fewer people who are indifferent, that's because there are too many people in Ying Tianfu!

Huyan Jinbo's house is in Sanshan Street, since the Southern Tang Dynasty to the Song and Yuan Dynasties, it is the most prosperous place in Yingtianfu, and many officials moved their families to the north, and the vacated houses have been sold.

"Senior brother, look at those street corridors, there are so many delicious foods!" Hua Qiao called him softly in the carriage and happily pointed to the side of the road with her fingers.

Hu Yanjin smiled secretly in his heart: Sure enough, she was right, she was a snack.

It was already very close to his house, so he asked the servant to drive the horses and carriages back, and he walked around the official corridors with the eager buckwheat.

It's summer now, and there are many people who come out to enjoy the cool and go shopping.

Those lard dumplings, duck meat buns, goose fat pastries, soft fragrant cakes, osmanthus sugar potatoes, and honey-pickled hawthorns are all golden, yellow, sweet, and spicy delicious, and they dazzle the buckwheat and swallow their mouths.

"Senior brother, we haven't eaten well in the past two days, and I'm hungry and thin." Hua Qiao swept over at a glance, wanting to eat everything, but couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she pulled Hu Yanjin's sleeve and looked around.

I only heard a loud and burly man next to him say with a smile: "You won't lose weight in Yingtianfu, and you will grow three pounds overnight." ”

Hua Qiao was trying to hide behind Hu Yanjin, and Hu Yanjin also smiled: "Don't be afraid of him, but he is a pig farmer." ”

Seeing Hua Qiao blinking at himself with a question mark on her face, Hu Yanjin introduced: "This is Lin Longfeng I told you, Lin Langzhong." ”

"Hey, what is Lin Langzhong, just call me Brother Lin. Then I'll call you...... Siblings? Lin Longfeng didn't expect Hu Yanjin to bring his little daughter-in-law and tease her on a whim. Hua Qiao's face turned red when she heard this, and she glared at Hu Yanjin fiercely.

"My name is buckwheat."

Lin Longfeng pretended not to see the knife in Hu Yanjin's eyes, pointed to a restaurant and said: "Just go to that Wanqing Building, there are all snacks in it, you want to eat it once and think twice, and eat it twice and think about it for a lifetime." ”

Hua Qiao was happy, clapped her hand and smiled: "Okay!" Just eat the evening building! With that, the man strode to the front with his hands behind his back.

Lin Longfeng poked Hu Yanjin with his elbow and said, "If you see it, you have to coax the girl like this!" Yes, you kid, no wonder you want to ......"

"Before leaving, Mr. Wu asked me to persuade you, don't drill the horns, put it down when you should put it down, don't delay other girls for a lifetime." Hu Yanjin didn't forget to say two words to him.

Lin Longfeng rubbed his face vigorously with his hands, looked at Hu Yanjin seriously and asked, "The last sentence was added by yourself, right?" ”

Hu Yanjin also smiled and asked, "Is there any news about the missing person case?" ”

"As soon as you let me know, I guessed you were here for this."

"Oh? When did you get smarter? Can you still be unpredictable? ”

"Hey, what an uncertain prophet. Among the missing persons, there is a person named Wang Bao whose identity is not ordinary, he is the son of the grandmother of the emperor's grandson. The emperor's grandson must have gotten the news, so he asked the James Mansion to secretly investigate the matter. Lin Longfeng whispered.

Hu Yanjin was about to ask, but Hua Qiao was already waiting for them in front of the Wanqing Building.

"She, can you listen?" Lin Longfeng asked in the direction of the buckwheat with his chin raised.

Hu Yanjin's eyes widened, he stepped forward and pulled Hua Qiao's arm, turned around and dropped a sentence: "What are you kidding?" This virtuous brother, but His Royal Highness personally pointed over to cooperate with the investigation of the case, why can't he say it? Not only to say, but to elaborate! ”

Hua Qiao nodded and said:

"Yes, let's talk while we eat."
