Chapter 162: Counting is Counting
Lin Xiaozhu stood up straight and turned his head, just as he met Yuan Tianye's anxious and worried gaze.
Yuan Tianye looked Lin Xiaozhu up and down, and saw that her clothes were complete, although there were tears on her face, but there was no such sad and indignant expression in her eyes, he was relieved, but he still asked uneasily: "Xiaozhu, how are you?" Where did they find you? ”
Lin Xiaozhu wanted to answer "I'm fine", but she felt that the old man stuffed her here like this, and said the words "help him" at that time, I don't know what the intention was, but it was obviously very meaningful. At that moment, he swallowed the words back, but shook his head, and tears flowed down his eyes.
Originally, Yuan Tianye, as a civilian, should have followed in after that Lord Zou according to etiquette, but he remembered Lin Xiaozhu in his heart, and he didn't care so much, so he entered the house first. At this time, seeing that Lin Xiaozhu didn't speak and only shed tears, the glance that looked at him seemed to have a deep meaning. As soon as his mind moved, his mood relaxed. Stopped, waiting for Lord Yin Zou of Yancheng Mansion, who was wearing a purple official uniform, to calmly walk in from behind, he turned around and arched his hand, and said, "Lord Zou, although the person has found it, it seems that he is scared a lot." You must be the master of the small people and investigate this matter to the end! ”
"Doctor Yuan, don't worry about this in advance, wait until the official asks your maidservant." Master Zou stroked his beard, walked in unhurriedly, and sat down on a stool prepared for him by the official.
Wu Niang's gaze was like a blade, and she glanced at this Yancheng Mansion Yin. The master of her family was originally the son of the Rui Wangfu, even if he failed to seize the throne, he was also an orthodox royal family, and the identity and status of the prince were not ordinary respect. If the identity is clear, this Lord Zou is not worthy of carrying shoes for his son-in-law. But now. But Gongzi could only disguise himself, and with the identity of a miracle doctor and a civilian, he didn't even have a seat in front of this so-called Lord Zou. And Yancheng Mansion Yin is such a petty official. is still putting up a shelf in front of the son, and he is really resentful.
"Lin Xiaozhu." Lord Zou opened his mouth. He turned his head and glanced at Yuan Tianye again, "It's called Lin Xiaozhu, right?" ”
"Exactly. Lord Zou. Yuan Tianye said busily.
"Hmm." Lord Zou stroked his beard, bowed his head slightly, turned around again, looked at Lin Xiaozhu and said, "You tell me about your disappearance." ”
Wu Niang pushed Lin Xiaozhu and said softly: "Don't be afraid, just say anything you want." ”
"Yes, sir." Lin Xiaozhu knew that these old traitors who were officials were slippery. The eyes were very sharp, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he would be able to see the horse's feet, and then he was sobbing and trembling and recounting the situation, and the explanation was the same as when the official asked.
Lord Zou frowned, stared at Lin Xiaozhu for a while, and then said, "You mean, you were covered by someone and fainted." When you wake up, you're in this closet? ”
"Yes."
Lord Zou turned his face away. looked at Yuan Tianye: "Doctor Yuan, as soon as you found out that your maid was missing, you immediately called someone to search this dim sum shop, right?" ”
He asked the nonsense, and thoughts were rolling in his head. How to come and this mud, this case is found out here. After all, if someone finds it, the matter can be over.
To be a government minister in the capital, if you want to keep this black gauze hat, you must understand everything in the situation, which people can afford to offend, and which people can't afford to offend, you must know in your heart.
And this Yuan Divine Doctor, although he has no official position and is just a commoner, no one has dared to despise him in recent years. Because of his excellent medical skills, the emperor's life depends on him to protect it, and many ministers in the court rely on him to treat their illnesses, and even the illness of Duan Wangye is inseparable from him. But the identity of the boss behind this dim sum shop is not simple, it is a second-class member, a leader in the literary world, and a representative of the Qingliu of the Northern Yan Kingdom; Moreover, behind him, there is Duan Wang.
He didn't want to offend either side, and he couldn't afford to offend. So there is only one way to deal with this case - and mud.
Yuan Tianye knew what his idea was since he hit Lord Zou and hit him with palladium. The moment made a gesture covertly. Yuan Shiyi, who followed Yuan Tianye into the door, saw it and quietly retreated.
Yuan Tianye said at this time: "Lord Zou, Xiaomin came out today, only brought two servants, and there was no way to search if he wanted to; Besides, since Xiaomin is a civilian, he has no right to search other people's houses. At that time, I was in a hurry, so I looked around, but I couldn't talk about searching. I can't find it, so I dare to report it, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it disturb the government for no reason? ”
After speaking, he glanced at Lord Zou with deep meaning: "Lord Zou, although the little maid has found it, there is always a certain reason for the occurrence of things. I've heard that there has been some unrest around the capital recently, and several young women have gone missing, and Lord Zou is anxious about it, right? Adult, the little maid is a young woman, you see, her disappearance, could it be related to that case? ”
Lord Zou was stunned. That case had a very bad impact, which implied that he Yancheng Mansion Yin was inactive, and the Northern Yan Kingdom was not stable enough to let the family live and work in peace and contentment. If a case is not handled well and cannot be solved in time, he will be held accountable by the superiors. This matter can be said to be about his official hat and net worth.
However, would Lord He, who represents the righteous and awe-inspiring of Qingliu, do such a hurtful thing? If Divine Doctor Yuan's words reached the ears of that adult, and he sent someone to search this shop, Lord He would definitely be furious, and when the time came, how could he afford his anger?
Just as his brain teaser was turning, a subordinate suddenly rushed in from outside, panting and said, "Big, my lord, it's not good, the old lady suddenly got angina pectoris, and fainted to death in pain." ”
"What?" Lord Zou stood up suddenly, and without saying a word, he hurried out. Ran to the door, suddenly remembered something, turned back again, and made a long gesture to Yuan Tianye, and said, "Doctor Yuan, please save my mother." ”
This Zou Daren is very filial and is well known.
"Lord Zou doesn't have to be polite. It is my duty to heal the sick and save people. Yuan Tianye helped him up, but said, "However, when I went out for a stroll today, Xiaomin never carried a silver needle on his body." ”
For the doctor, silver is a guy who eats, and he definitely carries it with him at all times. Lord Zou understood that in Yuan Tianye's words, there was a sense of prevarication.
Originally, Yuan Tianye said just now that this case might be related to the disappearance of the girl, and Lord Zou was moved. At this time, his mother's life is at stake, so there is no need to weigh this matter anymore. He turned his head to his subordinates and said, "You guys, now immediately lead someone to search this dim sum shop, even if it is three feet into the ground, you must get to the bottom of the matter." ”
Then he turned his head and said to Yuan Tianye: "Presumably, a doctor has been invited at home at this time, and the silver needle is ready-made, and there is a doctor to go to Yuan." ”
"It's incumbent." Yuan Tianye readily agreed this time. Then he turned his head and instructed Wu Niang, "You are here to assist the officials in handling the case." ”
As soon as Lord Zou and Yuan Tianye left, they began to search through boxes and cabinets.
Yuan Shi went out and did two things immediately. One is to order the secret guard to ask the undercover agent in Lord Zou's mansion to give Mrs. Zou a medicine for heart disease; The other is to ask the secret guard to put some incriminating evidence somewhere in this shop.
That Lord He has always been an existence like Zhong Yugui in the civil officials, he represents a force to be reckoned with in the civil officials, but he is loyal to King Duan. Therefore, he has always been the object of Yuan Tianye's attention, and all the secrets of this shop have long been in Yuan Tianye's grasp. Yuan Shi's arrangement was extremely convenient and fast. They wanted to take advantage of this chance to pour a bucket of dung water on that Lord He, so that he could not wash himself by jumping into the Yellow River. And Yuan Tianye's remarks just now were just to lure Lord Zou to search the house so that the incriminating evidence could be revealed.
Therefore, when the second warehouse was searched, some accounts and silver tickets were found in the cracks of a cabinet, and there was incriminating evidence of any adults receiving stolen money.
When the shopkeeper was dumbfounded and wanted to distinguish, an errand officer ran outside the door and said to the adjutant under Lord Zou: "My lord, there is a tunnel in that room, and there are several young women hidden in the tunnel, exactly the same as the missing girls described in this report. ”
"What?" Everyone was taken aback and rushed out.
Lin Xiaozhu followed Wu Niang's side, and when he saw the tunnel, he finally understood what the old man meant by "help him". Although she didn't understand who the owner of this shop was, she expected that this matter must be of great help to Yuan Tianye.
As soon as the women were found, there was no need to investigate the case, and the government sealed the shop, and then took down the shopkeeper and the guys, and escorted them back to the government for interrogation. Lin Xiaozhu followed Wu Niang to the official mansion and recorded the confession.
When she and Wu Niang returned to Yuan's mansion in the evening, Yuan Tianye had already returned and was arguing with Yuan Zhibai in the study.
Yuan Zhibai looked at his son with an annoyed face: "Do you know how dangerous today's incident is?" For the sake of a servant, you mobilized a large number of secret guards. This capital hides the dragon and crouching tiger, and King Duan's subordinates are like clouds. With your move, Duanwang will definitely list you as the number one investigative person. If someone finds out, your life is in danger. I don't believe you didn't think about it. Yang'er, Yang'er, you have always been calm and stable, everything is decided and then acted, how can you do such a careless thing today? You say, is it for that Lin Xiaozhu? ”
"Father, today's events, although a bit risky, turned out well. Unexpectedly, they found those women, and there was evidence of corruption. A leader who is clear in the literary world, he is hijacking the people's daughters, and he is corrupt and bending the law, this time, King Duan can't protect him. Wu has Zhong Yugui, Wen He Wenqing, the two pillars of this king have fallen apart. Father, we can do great things. ”
"Hmph, you don't give me any nonsense. Even if that doesn't happen today, as long as we want it to happen, there's always a chance. But why did you make such a move today, you can give me a good explanation! ”
