As soon as he heard Fang Hanwen say that Fang Wanyan was kidnapped, Xu Zhijin was stunned.

"Kidnapping? ...... Is it seeking wealth? How much? I have a silver ticket there, do I want to pay the ransom first? It's important to keep people! ”

In another person, he may think about reporting to the official and thinking about solving the case, it is about Fang Wanyan, and Xu Zhijin can't care so much.

Fang Wenhan looked at the piece of paper again, yes, why didn't the ransom be written?

Only one person's name was written below: Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu? Zhang Yu, the king of the river? Or is it someone else? He looked at his father, who was still out of breath, and had a bad premonition in his heart: this was not an ordinary kidnapping for money, this was something that even his father could not handle.

In addition to explaining that the Fang brothers and sisters are all in his hands, and the name "Zhang Yu", there is nothing else on the letterhead.

Xu Zhijin also saw the letterhead, and he didn't understand what it meant.

Master Fang looked at Xu Zhijin and waved his hand, Fang Wenhan had no choice but to say, "Brother Xu, you go back first, you can't help here, if you need anything, I'll look for you again." ”

Xu Zhijin knew that he was an outsider, and it was indeed difficult to stay. I had no choice but to leave the Fang family with a heavy heart and go out of the gate of the Fang Mansion.

Under the porch, he stood where Fang Wanyan said goodbye to him today, the laughter was still there, and it was difficult to find people.

He calmed down and looked around for ten paces, and there was no trace of the heavy rain outside the porch. Inside the porch, there were no valuable clues except for traces that might have been dragged.

The kidnappers did it quickly and neatly.

The letter did not write a request...... Perhaps, "Zhang Yu" is the request. Is this Zhang Yu the king of Hejian who sacrificed in the Battle of Dongchang to save the emperor?

Most importantly, the letter did not say where to meet or the conditions for release.

Unless, these Lord Fang already knew it.

Suddenly hearing the sound of the gong that was about to curfew in half an hour, Xu Zhijin frowned and walked home.

Entering the alley and walking to the door of the Xu Mansion, he hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked towards Huyan Mansion in the depths of the alley. He wants to tell Hua Qiao about this, Hua Qiao often conducts autopsies to help solve cases, and she is a thoughtful girl.

What's more, Fang Wanyan is her friend.

"What? Wan Yan was kidnapped? Just this afternoon? "Buckwheat couldn't believe her ears.

Xiao Gao, who was leaning against the door frame, regretted it for a while: if he had sent her home directly from the palace gate, there might not have been an accident......

"It's all my fault! I should have watched her enter the door and then leave......" Xu Zhijin had already regretted all the way.

"No, it was premeditated, no matter how we get her home, she's going to be missing. Because her brother didn't stand with her at the time, but they disappeared at the same time.

Maybe, I've been staring at her outside the palace gate, but Xiao Gao is next to him and can't find a chance. They were afraid that there would not be enough chips, and the target was originally two people. ”

As soon as Hua Qiao said this, Xiao Gao also remembered, and he nodded and said:

"When the girl said this, I also remembered, when we were waiting for you outside the palace gate, someone did sneakily peek behind the tree, but I thought I wanted to spy on the girl's whereabouts, and I thought I should pay attention tonight."

Only then did Hua Qiao understand why Xiao Gao asked Haiming and Haiying to take turns sleeping and watching the night as soon as he came back, and he never returned to the east courtyard, so he sat on the verandah corner of the west courtyard for half the night. Longlong

"Xiao Gao, if you have such doubts in the future, you have to tell me that we can only get twice the result with half the effort by preventing it together, otherwise, you are not affected by yourself?" Hua Qiao said sincerely.

She knew that it was Xiao Gao who was good for her and wanted her to sleep peacefully.

But she never thinks that it is natural for others to protect herself, and her own protection of herself is omnipresent.

Xu Zhijin thought about it carefully and said: "That is to say, no matter whether it rains today or not, the two brothers and sisters of the Fang family will be missing, and his target is Old Man Fang, and Old Man Fang has something to do with Zhang Yu." What we can do is to stare at Fang Shangshu. ”

"The family members and guards in a row on Wangfu Street, is Lord Xu going to dig a pit and squat at the gate of Shangshufu, or is it good to squat on the tree across the street?" Kotaka teased.

"You can squat under a tree." Hua Qiao smiled: "Third Brother Xu can't do it, but the little beggar of the beggar gang can." ”

Xu Zhijin imagined himself squatting on a tree, and he didn't feel a little funny, Xiao Gao's words, everyone felt a little more relaxed, and their brains became more flexible.

"I'm in the Hanlin Academy these days, and I also have to pay attention to Lord Fang's recital, I suspect that it has something to do with the imperial court......

"Fujian!" Hua Qiao and Xu Zhijin called at the same time.

"Then Zhang Yu must be Lord Fang's handle! I'll check tomorrow to see if Lord Fang has anything to do with Zhang Yu, the king of Hejian. Xu Zhijin determined the goal, swept away the frustration when he came, and waited for the dawn to go to the Hanlin Academy.

Xiao Gao doesn't wait for dawn, and for him, the curfew is just a change of night clothes. In this way, on the fifth watch, there will be people staring at Shangshufu.

Hua Qiao stuffed the green hosta to him and instructed: "Be careful." ”

Xiao Gao turned around and took a deep breath: I am willing to die.

The next day, the sky was bright, Lord Fang went to the court as usual, and he did not play in the early court records of the day, and he did not even second. After retreating from the dynasty, Lord Fang went straight home again, and there was no stop on the way.

Two little beggars sitting under the tree were bored, peeling a little bit of steamed bun dandruff with their fingers, and feeding the ants in a game. Suddenly, I saw the door of Fang Shangshu's mansion open, and Fang Shangshu's sedan chair came out, but I didn't know who was sitting inside.

One of the little beggars walked over and cried by the sedan chair: "Master, master, it's okay, give me two copper plates......

The family walking by the sedan chair chased him: "Go, go!" Dare to stop Lord Shangshu's sedan chair, I think you are impatient! ”

"Fang Bao, give him two copper plates for him to go." The man in the sedan chair raised half of the curtain and said.

The little beggar got the copper plate and kept bowing: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I wish you a long life, joy and good health......"

He stopped chasing the sedan chair, and nodded to the other beggar under the tree, and the beggar stood up, pestle the dog-beating stick, and took his bowl, and followed the sedan chair at a distance.

The little beggar who got the copper plate looked in the direction of the sedan chair, pulled his legs and ran towards the county lord's alley.

"Okay, you remember, this brother will follow you, and you take him to find Fang Shangshu." Hua Qiao took out a handful of copper coins from the drawer and stuffed them into the little beggar's hand: "Take them to buy meat buns and eat them." ”

Xiao Gao hesitated before going out, turned his head and went, and explained to the four guards who were standing guard and patrolling in the alley. Only then did he follow the little beggar out of the alley.

"Fang Shangshu neither reported to the official today, nor prepared any money, it seems that he knows who the person who tied Wan Yan is, and he also knows what the other party wants." Xu Zhijin said thoughtfully: "With his composure today, he must have thought about what to do." ”

"What will he do, you say?" Hua Qiao asked, holding her cheeks.

"Compromise."
