(15) Unexpected reunions
"How? Do you have any news of Childe? ”
In the blink of an eye, it has been three days since Lian Qingjue disappeared. Although Yang Qingwei had many wounds, they were all skin injuries, so he had already recovered the day after he was rescued, and there was no major problem. And in the past three days, he, Fan Yao, and Yan Xige's people have been looking for Lian Qingjue's traces day and night, inside and outside the city.
"No, where are you?"
In the Xiangxiang Courtyard, Fan Yao and Yang Qingwei stepped into the courtyard at the same time, the two looked at each other, and when they saw the anxiety on each other's faces, their hearts sank.
It's been three days, and Childe has been missing for three days, and there has been no news for three days, and I've searched all over the city and outside the city, but there is no clue at all. And according to Yang Qingwei woke up the next day, after he and Gongzi came out of the Shengbao Pavilion together, he planned to go back to the house, but when passing through a small alley, suddenly a group of black-clothed people fell from the sky, these people had a clear goal, after solving the small guy who was driving with a knife, several people deliberately fought with themselves to lure themselves away, and the rest of the people took the opportunity to kidnap Gongzi.
"That gang of people is simply ruthless, the later they find Childe, the more unfavorable it will be to Childe."
Yang Qingwei patted his head, annoyed. If his martial arts are a little better, then that day, Childe may not have an accident.
"Don't blame yourself, finding Childe now is the most important thing."
Looking at Yang Qingwei's expression, although Fan Yao complained a little in his heart that he didn't protect his son, he still reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"Let's go, let's keep looking, and we'll come back every other hour, just like before."
"Okay."
Yang Qingwei nodded firmly, and then took separate actions with Fan Yao.
……
"Excuse me, have you seen this son?"
On a bustling street in the west of the city, Fan Yao was holding the portrait of Lian Qingjue and asking the stall owners and passers-by of the roadside stalls one by one, but after asking for a long time, everyone shook their heads. And when he was in the middle of the deflat, he was suddenly hit hard from behind.
"Who is this...... Small...... Miss! ”
Turning his head impatiently, Fan Yao just wanted to scold who was not walking for a long time, but he didn't expect that the person standing behind him was actually a young lady who had never met since he got married.
"Fan Yao, what are you doing?"
Lian Qingwan held Liu Tinglan's arm and stood with a smile, she was already a wife at this time after all, so the whole person was less casual and more delicate and calm.
"Miss, Liu ...... Hello uncle. ”
Seeing that Liu Tinglan was also looking at him with a smile, Fan Yao made a mistake for a while, and almost forgot that this Liu Tinglan was already his uncle.
"Ask you, Fan Yao, what are you doing? Why don't you follow my brother? ”
Looking at Fan Yao looking left and right a little helplessly, Lian Qingwan's eyebrows and eyes were crooked.
"Miss...... Know Childe...... Over here? ”
Afraid that Lian Qingjue would be anxious to know the news of Lian Qingjue's disappearance, Fan Yao secretly stuffed the portrait in his hand into his sleeve and deliberately diverted the topic.
"I also said that I had made an appointment with my brother and Brother Gu to wait for the Lantern Festival, and you went to join me and Tinglan, but I waited left and right, and I didn't wait for you to come, but waited for the news that the emperor sent my brother to Bo Yanguo. Because I really couldn't rest assured of my brother's body, Tinglan and I also came over. ”
Lian Qingwen pretended to be angry and looked at Fan Yao.
"Also, what do you hide in your sleeve? Don't hide, I've seen it all. ”
"Little ...... Miss ......"
At this time, the cold sweat on Fan Yao's body was about to come out, and he was still struggling with whether to tell Lian Qingwen about the disappearance of his son.
"Where's my brother? But...... What's wrong? ”
Seeing that Fan Yao had been unusually since they met just now, and his speech was stammering, Lian Qingwen began to feel a little uneasy in her heart.
"Qingwan, Fan Xiashi, why don't we go to the teahouse next to us and sit down?"
Seeing that the atmosphere between Fan Yao and Lian Qingwen instantly became unusual, Liu Tinglan patted Lian Qingwan's hand, and then pointed to the teahouse not far away.
"Okay."
Lian Qingwan nodded, then let go of Liu Tinglan and pulled Fan Yao towards the teahouse.
"Sit down and tell me later, if you dare to lie to me, I won't spare you!"
"Yes."
……
"Tell me, what about my brother? Why don't you follow him and hang around here? ”
In three or two steps, Fan Yao was pulled to the teahouse, and found a table in an inconspicuous corner to sit down, and Lian Qingwan stared straight at Fan Yao.
"Qingwan, don't worry, listen to Fan Xiashi slowly."
Poured a cup of hot tea and put it in the hands of Lian Qingwan and Fan Yao, Liu Tinglan persuaded.
"Well, I'm not in a hurry, Fan Yao, you can say it."
"Miss, childe, he ...... Something went wrong. ”
Seeing that he had reached this step, Fan Yao knew that he couldn't hide the disappearance of his son, so he simply lowered his head and said.
"Childe, he ...... Missing. ”
"Missing?"
Hearing the news, Lian Qingwan was so shocked that she almost slapped the table and got up, but fortunately, Liu Tinglan on the side was quick and grabbed her.
"Qingwan, don't worry, listen to Fan Xiashi."
Liu Tinglan was also shocked when he heard the news of Lian Qingjue's disappearance, but he knew that he couldn't panic at this time, so he could only pretend to be calm and comfort Lian Qingjue.
"Childe, he's been missing for three days."
Fan Yao lowered his head, and there was a thick chagrin and anxiety in his tone.
"Three days? Didn't my brother come to help Yan Xige? How did it go missing? ”
Listening to Fan Yao's words, Lian Qingwen was so anxious that she almost fainted, but fortunately, there were not many people in the teahouse at this time, so their movements here also attracted the attention of others.
"Yes, three days ago, Childe went out without knowing whose post he received, because I wasn't in the house, so it was Yang Qingwei who accompanied Childe out......"
Fan Yao sat there and told everything about the past few days, while Lian Qingwen and Liu Tinglan became more worried the more they listened.
"You said that my brother went out after taking the post, and since Yang Qingwei went with his brother, doesn't he know who his brother is going to see?"
After Fan Yao finished speaking, Lian Qingwen frowned and asked.
"Yang Qingwei said that Gongzi was the one who met alone, and he had been waiting downstairs, so he ......"
Thinking of this, Fan Yao scolded in his heart again, this Yang Qingwei is too, how can he let Gongzi go to meet others alone?
"Why is this Yang Qingwei so big-hearted!"
Lian Qingwan was extremely angry, when she saw that Yang Qingwei, she must teach him a good lesson, but suddenly, she remembered something.
"I heard you say just now that the person named Shangguan next to Yan Xige has been targeting my brother, could it be his hand?"
"It shouldn't be him."
Fan Yao shook his head.
"Although the subordinates also don't like Shangguan Yanyue very much, according to the subordinates during this time, the relationship between Shangguan Yanyue and the second prince is ...... is not ordinary, and although he is an extremely selfish and ruthless person, he is obedient to the second prince and is very loyal, the son is ordered to help the second prince, no matter how much Shangguan Yanyue does not like the son, he will not murder the son at the cost of ruining the second prince's big thing. ”
"Who else would it be if it wasn't him?"
Even Qingwan was so anxious that her face was wrinkled. And Liu Tinglan thought about it and said:
"Except for the people in the Second Prince's Mansion, haven't you seen anyone else since you came to Yu Ruocheng?"
"Not for nothing."
Fan Yao thought about it.
"A few days ago, there was a peach blossom festival on the outskirts of the city, and when we went to visit, we met Wen Xianchu and Yu Ziju."
"Wen Xianchu?"
As soon as she heard this name, Lian Qingwen always felt that this name was very familiar, but for a while, she couldn't remember where she had heard this name.
"It's the drama that the emperor once favored for a period of time, and was later released from the palace, the senior brother of Cui Jiuling, the head of the Red Jubilee class."
Fan Yao looked at Liu Tinglan.
"But he doesn't have much intersection with Childe, and this Mr. Wen is as his name suggests, very gentle, not like someone who will murder Childe."
"Then who is that Yuziju?"
Lian Qingwen asked again.
"That's it...... It was the person who bullied Master Gu when he was kidnapped by Cai Yong. ”
"It's that shameless villain!"
Because of Fan Yao's words, Lian Qingwen couldn't help but recall the humiliation that Brother Gu had suffered.
"Could it be that he sent someone to kidnap his brother?"
"His subordinates also guessed that it was him, so they have been secretly observing where he lives for the past few days, but ...... He didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. ”
Fan Yao scratched his head. It's not Shangguan Xuanyue, it's not Wen Xianchu, it's not Yuziju, so who else has the intention of assassinating Gongzi?
"And what clues have you been looking for for the past few days?"
Listening to Fan Yao denying the suspects one by one, Lian Qingwen was going crazy. My brother has always been in poor health, if the people who kidnapped him want to harm his brother, how can it be good?
"Nope."
Fan Yao shook his head in frustration.
"My subordinates, Yang Qingwei, and the people from the Second Prince's Mansion have been looking for the son day and night for the past few days, but until now...... I don't have a clue yet. ”
"You ......"
Lian Qingwan almost couldn't hold back a punch to Fan Yao, but fortunately, Liu Tinglan grabbed her again with a quick hand.
"Qingwan, Fan Xiashi, why don't we go separately and go to Lord Lian together, there are no clues in the city, so go outside the city, anyway, since it is man-made, it will definitely leave traces."
"Yes."
Fan Yao glanced at Liu Tinglan gratefully, and then glanced at Lian Qingwan with some weakness.
Then the subordinate continued to look for clues. But I don't know where the young lady and my aunt are staying? If there is any news, the subordinates should report it. ”
"The Four Seas Inn in the north of the city."
Liu Tinglan said, and glanced at Fan Yao, Fan Yao understood what he meant, so he quickly got up and saluted Lian Qingwan and the two of them.
"Then the subordinate went first."
"Fan Xia Shi is careful in everything."
After Fan Yao left, Liu Tinglan took Lian Qingwan in his arms and gently patted her back.
"Qingwan, don't be too anxious, even the adults will be fine."
"Liu Tinglan, I'...... I'm afraid my brother will ......"
Lian Qingwan leaned on Liu Tinglan's arms, and there was already a cry in her voice.
"What are you thinking!"
Liu Tinglan interrupted what Lian Qingwu had not finished speaking.
"Let's go, let's look for clues. Although there is no business of the Liu family in this Yu Ruocheng, I also have a few friends here, please ask them to help find them, maybe there will be any clues. ”
"Okay."
Nodding obediently, Lian Qingwan stood up with Liu Tinglan's arm, and then the two walked out of the teahouse and went to the friend's house in Liu Tinglan's mouth.
