Chapter 14: Jade Pendant
"Hey, did you see a little girl?"
It seems that this guy is in a hurry, but what's the use of chasing a child?
Idiot.
"Oh, I just went over there." Hu Xin pretended to be passing by, took a few steps forward, pointed with his backhand, and casually pointed in a direction behind him.
The guy ran away after asking, Hu Xin looked at his gradually disappearing figure, and then looked at the motionless haystack, but he was mostly mocking in his heart.
This kid is really obedient......
Hu Xin pushed away the hay, and the little girl popped up, still covering her mouth with her hands.
"Okay, the lantern is for you, you can speak." Seeing that the little girl was seriously covering her mouth and not making a sound, Hu Xin's heart was actually a little strange regret.
She is now a person with three lives on her hands, and she doesn't blink an eye when she kills, how can she still feel regret in her heart?
"Huh......" The little girl put down her hand, looked at the sister in front of her and smiled-
"Sister, I really didn't move, that bad guy definitely didn't find out!" After saying that, the little girl took out the silver taels from her sleeves.
"For your sister, this is what that thing was for."
Villain? Who is good and who is bad? How do you distinguish between good and bad?
Hu Xin put the lantern next to the little girl and took the silver tael.
"Five taels?" It seems that this jade pendant is not as valuable as she thought, but it is only five taels of silver, and I thought it was something of a dignitary, and it didn't seem to be very good.
"Thank you, you're so good, my sister is gone, otherwise the bad guys will chase it back." Hu Xin touched the little girl's head, then looked around before leaving.
The little girl took the lantern, and her father and mother came over: "Oh, where did you go again, I have finished buying things, and I am about to go back to my hometown." ”
The little girl took her mother's hand and happily shook the lantern in her hand.
"Where did this lamp come from?" Her father is quite strange, it's only half a pillar of incense, why is there an extra lantern in his daughter's hand?
"I helped a sister just now, and that sister gave it to me."
The little girl's face was quite proud, as if she had done a great deed.
"Oh, that's it." After saying that, the family took the clothes they had just bought and left......
The guy was now back at the pawnshop - "Where's the man?" Did you find it? A sharp questioning voice came from the pawnshop.
Looking at his face, he was dressed in sackcloth and had a hat on his head. The face is quite serious, and it doesn't look like he is running errands for others, nor does he look like a son-in-law, but like a steward.
Also, it's so late, which rich boy will stay in the pawnshop and keep an eye on people!
"Steward Lin, that little kid disappeared as soon as she ran away, she should have been caught in the store just now!" The young men who did the errands were quite capable, and they all began to come up with their own ideas.
"Catch her? Idiot. That's a child, he must have been instigated, I asked you to go out and follow, but you didn't even follow someone, you couldn't catch up with a child, do you have a reason? ”
Apparently the guy had just come back from a run, and was out of breath, so he didn't choose what to say - "It's the villain's fault." ”
"That's it, you go and get busy, don't worry about it."
This jade pendant is a token of the eldest grandson's family, but the Lin family also knows that this piece is always worn by the youngest son of the eldest grandson's family.
Two days ago, the Lin family learned that the eldest grandson Yurui, the youngest son of the eldest grandson Guozhong, who was regarded as a treasure in the palm of his hand, was lost, but there was no clue.
The eldest grandson is a civil official in the court, and when the emperor Tuoba was young, he also served as his teacher, although he is not as powerful as the prime minister Zuo, but he has a role to be reckoned with in the pattern of affairs between the DPRK and China.
The eldest grandson lost his son, and this year is terrible, although I don't know if it was an accident or someone did it wantonly, in short, the entire capital city was not idle.
No one at all levels knows that the eldest grandson Guozhong is very concerned about this hard-won youngest son.
The Lin family did not let go of this good opportunity. The eldest grandson Yurui is very young, and it is the right time to get lost, if the person is found by the Lin family, it is a good opportunity to make friends with the eldest grandson!
"Old Man Lin has instructed, you must try your best to find this child with a jade pendant, and pay more attention." After the Steward Lin finished his order, he left, and he wanted to find out if there were any clues.
The eldest grandson Yurui is too strange to get lost. It stands to reason that the eldest grandson is usually peaceful and unassuming, besides, a civil official has no ability to eat people, although his strength cannot be underestimated, but if he wants to deal with the eldest grandson Guozhong, it is indeed too strange to use this method of kidnapping children.
The sky is gradually darkening, and it gets dark early in the cold winter, and the lights of people everywhere on the street are brightened quickly, and there is no feeling of night......
"Do you see the face?"
Wearing a blue bird brocade robe, in a brightly lit place, he is either rich or expensive, he is Li Shu, who has not had a sacred heart recently.
The man who spoke had a deep and unfathomable voice, his face already wrinkled with the wrinkles of a middle-aged man, and his hands were rubbing behind his back.
The subordinates didn't see the child's face clearly, but they found a jade pendant in that place...... Huh? What about the jade pendant? ”
The subordinate in a night suit found the jade pendant on his body, why was it missing?
"What's wrong?" Li Shu asked.
"Lord Hui, when my subordinates came back today, I took a shortcut, passed by a place, and saw a woman who killed a family and set a fire, and my subordinates watched for a while, but unfortunately she found out, and her subordinates may have dropped the jade pendant in a hurry."
Homicide? There are so many strange things this year, why is there such a thing for the New Year?
Li Shu turned around, and then he saw his straight face - a pair of eyes as calm as a cold star, and a broad mind was a decent air.
Li Shu sat on the ground and took a sip of tea: "Do you know where that woman is?" ”
"The subordinates don't know, it's too far away, and the subordinates don't see their faces clearly."
The subordinate in the night suit lowered his head, feeling that he couldn't answer the questions one by one, but he regretted that the matter was not done.
"And who did she kill?"
The subordinate thought about it and thought it was very strange: "My lord, she also looks like a very ordinary woman, not a killer." The family of three killed were all civilians on the street, first killing people and then setting fires, and their subordinates didn't understand. ”
"That's a civil grievance, it has nothing to do with the powerful, it seems that the government is busy this year."
"Yes."
"What about the eldest grandson Yurui? Do you see what's going on? ”
The grievances of the people Li Shu are just asking, after all, this is not his business, what he really cares about is the unfound youngest son in the eldest grandson country, this child is the current business.
The subordinate looked a little self-reproachful-
"My lord, I have been looking for that child on the orders of my lord for the past two days, but it is too difficult to find only one portrait. The subordinate saw a child who was similar to the painting on the side of the street, so he lived not far away, but after a while, it seemed that there was no movement, and the subordinate walked in to see that he was lost on a street corner, and the child suddenly disappeared, leaving only a cyan jade pendant on the street corner, which was engraved with water lines, but the jade pendant was accidentally lost by his subordinates......"
"Cyan water streaks? Can you be sure it's the kid? ”
Although I don't know if it's the eldest grandson Yurui, but listening to the description is so similar, and listening to the description of this jade pendant, I think about it, it should indeed be the eldest grandson Yurui's, yes, the one who uses the water pattern green pendant in the capital should be the eldest grandson's family.
"The subordinates are sure, although they haven't found the child, but there are not many people in that place, especially the few children, and the subordinates are sure that the jade pendant is from the boy."
Li Shu was conflicted at this time, what is going on here in this eldest grandson country, looking at it like this, the eldest grandson Yurui doesn't look like he was taken away, but like he was lost......
Li Shu sat there and thought about it, and ordered: "In this way, don't deliberately look for that child, you should have never seen the jade pendant, don't cause trouble for no reason, tomorrow you will take two more people, and look for the child near the loss of the jade pendant." ”
"Yes, sir. The subordinates retired. After the subordinate finished speaking, he prepared to leave......
"Remember, don't be eye-catching, if you find that other eyeliner is also being found, stop and go home, don't come forward again." Li Shu gave another advice.
"Yes, my subordinates obey." With that, the subordinate withdrew.
