After asking Tian Jing's intentions, Fu Yuanyuan settled a matter of his heart and returned to the prince's mansion in a relaxed mood.

As soon as he stepped into Taozheng Courtyard, he saw Qin Ze pacing back and forth in the courtyard, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time, and when he saw her, he hurriedly greeted her: "Manman, I'm afraid I have to go out immediately." ”

Fu Yuanyuan swooped in his heart, grabbed Qin Ze's hand and asked, "Aze, what's wrong?" ”

Qin Ze hesitated for a moment, Fu Yuan suddenly seemed to think of something, grabbed Qin Ze and asked, "Could it be that something happened to Daddy?" ”

Qin Ze clenched Fu Yuanyuan's hand, he shouldn't have told her about this matter, but as a husband and wife, he didn't want to hide anything from Fu Yuanyuan.

"I received a message this morning that my father-in-law led a detachment to search for the missing baggage boat, and he did not return for a day and a night."

"Does Daddy mean he's missing?" Fu Yuanyuan's heart sank.

Qin Ze: "I'm not sure yet. Many, this matter is getting more and more serious now, and I plan to go there myself. ”

Fu Yuanyuan held Qin Ze's hand and bit his lip to look at him earnestly.

Qin Ze stretched out his hand to stroke the tips of Fu Yuanyuan's hair: "Manman, don't worry, I will take care of this matter." ”

It was false to say that he was not worried, but Fu Yuanyuan believed in Qin Ze's ability, so he nodded and said, "Aze, you have to be careful yourself." I promised Yuehui to go to the palace every few days to accompany her to prepare for the queen's birthday, and it is inconvenient to follow you forward. ”

She thought for a moment, "Aze, you can take Yinbao with you, she is very skilled, maybe she can help." ”

Qin Ze should not mention it.

Time was tight, and the couple hurriedly said goodbye without saying a few words.

Speaking of the Jinjiang River, its source starts in Jincheng, which is not far from the capital, and is a large river leading to the southwest, which plays an important role in the north-south waterway transportation.

And the baggage boat happened about a day after it went on the Jinjiang River.

The site of the accident is located near Feng'an County, which happens to be the confluence of the Jinjiang River.

Qin Ze went to investigate the matter, and went directly to Feng'an County.

"At the confluence of these three rivers, although the river surface is stable, I don't know when there will be fishing boats sinking here."

The person introduced was the Lu County Commander of Feng'an County, and in the face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came to investigate in person, he was so nervous that his hands trembled slightly, "After Lord Fu came to Feng'an, Xia Guan and others cooperated with Lord Fu to organize officers and soldiers and fishermen to try to salvage together at the confluence of the three rivers and prone to shipwreck. ”

When he said this, he unconsciously shook his head and sighed, "I have been salvaging for a whole day and night, and there is no trace of the baggage ship." ”

After Fupingyuan brought people to Feng'an County, he immediately found the Lu County Order of Feng'an County and explained the matter.

Lu Xianling attached great importance to this matter, and immediately accompanied Fupingyuan to the scene for investigation, and tried his best to cooperate with Fupingyuan's various arrangements and scheduling.

Qin Ze listened carefully: "Can you send someone familiar with the water to go down to the river to check?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, some of them have," Lu Xianling hurriedly replied, "I sent more than a dozen men who grew up on the riverside and were accustomed to water to go down to the river to find them, and went down from many places," because he was nervous, he didn't speak very well, "but I didn't see any shipwrecks." ”

Qin Ze twisted his eyebrows, the baggage boat is not an ordinary fishing boat, if it is Shenjiang, it should be easier to find.

"In this way, it is unlikely that Shen Jiang will be likely."

"That's right," Lu Xianling wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Lord Fu also made this judgment the day before yesterday. ”

"It just so happened that some local fishermen said that there were two bays nearby, and sometimes the wind and waves would blow the boats to those two places. Because of the remote location and the sparsely populated area, Lord Fu and the officers and soldiers went to investigate in two ways. ”

Lu Xianling explained, "Xia Guan came back that night, but at noon on the second day, he didn't see Lord Fu returning, so he sent the news back to the capital. At the same time, additional men were sent to find people. ”

Fortunately, Fuping Yuan and them were recovered.

Qin Ze bowed: "How is Lord Fu's injury?" ”

"Lord Fu accidentally slipped and fell off the reef and injured his leg, but the lower official asked the doctor to see it, and it shouldn't be a big problem."

Lu Xian Ling took Qin Ze to the official residence where Fuping was resting, "But I'm afraid I will have to recuperate for a few days before I can walk on the ground." ”

When Qin Ze saw Fu Pingyuan, his father-in-law, who had always paid attention to his elegant appearance, was lying on the bed, with a scruffy beard and bloodshot eyes, but he didn't startle Qin Ze.

"Aze, why are you here?"

Fu Pingyuan was lying on the bed thinking about the whereabouts of the baggage boat, and when he saw that the person who followed Lu County's order turned out to be Qin Ze, he hurriedly propped himself up.

Qin Ze quickly stepped forward to support him: "Father-in-law, don't move if your leg is injured." ”

Fu Pingyuan waved his hand: "It's not a big deal, it's just a scratch." It's just that this heavy boat can't be found everywhere, which is really against the emperor's grace, and my father-in-law feels uncomfortable. ”

Lu Xianling had heard that the Fu people who came to investigate were the father-in-law of His Royal Highness the Prince, but after seeing His Royal Highness the Prince's politeness to Fu Daren, he couldn't help but have a sense of respect for Fu Pingyuan.

Fu Pingyuan didn't pay attention to the change in Lu Xianling's expression, and stood up and explained the situation of the past two or three days to Qin Zeyi carefully.

"The two bays that the fishermen suggested to check are sure that there is no trace of baggage boats," Qin Ze pondered for a moment and then asked, "But are there other bays?" ”

Lu Xianling and Fu Pingyuan shook their heads in unison.

Qin Ze bowed his head and looked at Lu Xianling: "This palace wants to see the situation at the confluence of the three rivers." ”

Lu Xianling was naturally busy, and Fu Pingyuan also sat up straight: "Aze, I'll go too." ”

Qin Ze disagreed: "Father-in-law, your leg is still injured, take a good rest, and come back when you go to the palace." ”

"No," Fu Pingyuan shook his head insistently, "I have a clearer understanding of the situation over there in the past few days, and it will be clearer to explain it in person." It's really nothing wrong with my legs, just find two people to carry me over. ”

Fu Pingyuan insisted again and again, and Qin Ze had no choice but to take him to the confluence of the three rivers.

The confluence of the three rivers was not far from the city of Feng'an County, and an hour later, the group arrived at the place of the incident.

Qin Ze looked at the wide river with rolling waves and endless rivers, and listened to the measures taken by Fuping Yuan in the days after his arrival.

Fu Pingyuan did things carefully and in place, and after coming to Feng'an County that day, he asked many fishermen's opinions on the spot with Lu County Ling and other officials, and now he is very careful and clear.

Qin Ze listened and thought about it, and did not rush to interject.

Regarding the matter of those two bays, Fu Pingyuan also made a special trip to find familiar fishermen and explained them to Qin Ze again.

After figuring out the situation, the group returned to the official residence.

After lunch, Lu Xianling and others left the official residence.

Qin Ze spread out the topographic map on the table and looked at it carefully for a long time.

"Father-in-law," he pondered for a long time and walked to Fu Pingyuan's side with the map, "Look here." ”
