Chapter 51: The Mystery of the Letter

Mei Yingxue didn't quite understand what the purpose of the candle Chu Yunfei wanted the candle for, and it wasn't until she watched him inexplicably put the letter on the candle and roast it, and she couldn't help but say out, "What are you doing?" This is a kidnapping letter, aren't you looking for clues? Where do you go to find clues...... Sky! What is it? ”

Under the baking of candles, the temperature of the paper gradually rises, and a blooming peony flower appears on the originally clean blank paper. There are also a few neat small seals written below: Kaibao Temple in the north of the city, not a moment.

Mei Yingxue pointed to the small line, he didn't understand why there were words on the white paper, what was going on? And the strange peony flower, which he looked a little familiar with, as if he had seen it somewhere. After a closer look, a shuddering feeling gripped his heart.

Chu Yunfei took a closer look and put the letter away, "Well, as early as hundreds of years ago, some people with special missions used this method to transmit messages, and it is said that it was invented by the great beauty Xi Shi. It looks a little mysterious, but it's actually very simple, that is, when writing, write with a pen dipped in rice vinegar, and when the vinegar is dry, you can't see that there are words on it. The person who receives the letter only needs to burn it on the fire, and the word will be revealed. Seemingly...... The same should be true of this letter......"

He took out another letter and concocted it in the same way, and sure enough, after a while, a blooming peony flower appeared on it, and there were also a few small seals: at noon, at the entrance of Jiaofang Street.

"Huh? How do you know? Do you not know the prophet? ”

Chu Yunfei handed the letter to him, "There's nothing strange about it. You smell it, it smells of vinegar, and a smart person like me can guess it with just a few brains. ”

"It turns out that there is another mystery in this. Do you want to inform them of this? Mei Yingxue looked at the letter curiously.

Chu Yunfei shook his head, he felt that it was not yet time. The case didn't seem to be difficult at all, and the kidnappers were just playing a little trick. Since the purpose of the kidnappers is to seek money, they will definitely not stop there, so they don't need to be in a hurry now.

Chu Yunfei's judgment was still wrong. The kidnappers did act again, and instead of delivering a letter to the kidnapped family, they kidnapped another person, Li Dashan, the most famous wealthy man in the west of the city. The Li family ran to Kaifeng Mansion to report the case before dawn, which made Lord Yin of the mansion suffer from a headache and died half to death.

Just when the people in the mansion were busy, Li Qiao'er, the only daughter of the Li family, came to the door of Meixiang Xiaozhu with a box of jewelry, wanting to see Chu Yunfei.

"Do you see it or not?" Hu Ji looked at Chu Yunfei. In her opinion, Chu Yunfei is far more amorous than she imagined, beauties begging each other, how can there be any reason not to agree?

Chu Yunfei squinted at her and said lightly, "Do you think I should interfere?" ”

Hu Ji smiled, she smiled beautifully, her eyes were bent into the moon, "I am not the smartest person in the world, nor am I a famous catcher in the capital, will I agree to other people's requests, how can I have an answer?" ”

Mei Yingxue didn't give Chu Yunfei a chance to refuse at all, he asked his family to bring people in, because he really couldn't bear to let a girl stay at the gate pitifully. But the funny thing is that Li Qiao'er mistook Mei Yingxue for Chu Yunfei, and handed the dresser to Mei Yingxue after coming in, "Childe, please save my father." We can't live without him, please help me. ”

As he spoke, Li Qiaoer, who was crying like pear blossoms and rain, knelt down in front of him. Mei Yingxue didn't care about the defense of men and women, and reached out to support her, "Miss, you can't do this!" We will definitely help you. But you're also mistaken, that's the one you want to find Chu Yunfei! ”

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Hu Ji came over to help Li Qiao'er sit down very considerately, and didn't forget to glance back at them, "Miss Li rarely goes out, so you can tell which of you is which." Miss Li, you don't have to worry. Tell me what's going on, and see if the two sons can help? ”

According to Li Qiaoer, this kidnapping case is almost the same as the previous ones. The only difference is the time of disappearance, the first few are all three watches, and the time of Li Dashan's disappearance is early in the morning. The disappearance of Lee Daseon was a complete accident! The kidnapping cases have occurred one after another, and Li Dashan has long raised his vigilance, and he has been arranging for his family to stay around in the past few days. Last night, according to Li Dashanren's instructions, the two family members stayed outside Li Dashanren's room until the fifth watch before leaving. When the sky was bright, the eldest prince rushed to the dock to pick up the goods, and when he looked for the seal that Li Dashan wanted to receive the goods, he found that Li Dashan was missing. He called the family and searched for a long time, only to find a blackmail letter without signature and payment in Li Dashan's room.

Chu Yunfei frowned, according to Li Qiao'er, the ransom letter had been sent to the yamen by his family, and it was the eldest prince's own initiative to let his family rush to the government to report the case.

Mei Yingxue secretly looked at Li Qiao'er, he knew that the eldest lady of the Li family had passed away a few years ago, and now it was the fifth lady who managed the housework for Li Dashanren. There is only one young lady in the Li family, which lady was she born to? How could the Li family let her run out alone?

Chu Yunfei looked at her curiously, "Since your family has already gone to the government to report the case, why did you still come to me?" ”

Li Qiao'er raised a pair of teary eyes and looked at Chu Yunfei, "I'm worried about my father, he is too old to withstand the toss." Besides, when will the government solve the case? Listening to my mother, there have been several kidnapping cases in the capital, haven't you found out anything yet? Childe is the number one god in the capital, and he will definitely be able to find out my father. I brought all the jewelry, and if the son is too little, I am willing to repay the son for the slave and the servant......"

How could Chu Yunfei bear to refuse such a plea?

"Miss Li, don't worry! He won't fail to make a move. You can take these things back with you. Mei Yingxue spoke.

Chu Yunfei couldn't help but want to laugh, this Mei Yingxue, who has never been open-minded, actually knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?

Li Qiao'er was not at ease, "No! These things must be accepted! …… You're really too little, that's why you won't take it, right? I ......"

Chu Yunfei reached out and took out something from the box and handed it to Mei Yingxue, "I accepted this, even if it was a deposit." Take the rest. Don't worry, I'll definitely get involved in this case. ”

Li Qiaoer couldn't believe her ears and thanked her again and again.

Orchid looked at the two men for a long time, and secretly drew several question marks in her heart. It wasn't until Li Qiao'er left step by step that she couldn't help asking, "You two are really strange, who is really pitiful?" How do I feel that Mei Gongzi is more enthusiastic than Chu Gongzi? Could it be that you ......"

Mei Yingxue glanced at her coldly, "You can't embarrass others, right?" Anyway, he has already taken on so many cases, and one more case will not be too troublesome for him. ”

Just when Chu Yunfei was about to open his mouth to make fun of Mei Yingxue, he saw He Ma rushing in at a trot all the way, "I saw that the Li family's carriage had just left, it must be their family who came." You know all about it, right? Hurry up and think of a way for me, if it continues like this, it will have to make the whole city chaotic!
