Chapter 237: Deliberation
That night, Admiral Li did not pursue Li Ran's sneaking away from home, nor did he show a clear attitude towards the relationship between Li Ran and Tao Fang.
After that, Li Wei followed the people arranged by Admiral Li to search in the city, and until the curfew, Tao Fang's whereabouts were not found, and there was no news of Tao Fang left in Tao Mansion, so after a whole night, he didn't even hear the news of Bicao.
Li Ran waited for news in the mansion all night, and when it was close to dawn, he got the only news, saying that Bai Shuangshuang had left the city in a carriage after the curfew.
White Frost is a very safe person, what happened to her and she had to go out of town so late? This made Li Ran very worried.
Admiral Li led his men and horses to search until the next day, only then did he find some traces left by chariots and horses outside the city, and went all the way to Bodaoling, but when Admiral Li's men rushed to the ruined temple on Bodaoling, it was already empty.
Li Ran didn't have much rest for two consecutive days, and it wasn't until this morning that he saw the news that everything came out, and he confirmed that it was not only Tao Fang, but even the white frost was gone.
Although Admiral Li said that he had not yet found out who sent the group of black-clothed people and who they were directed to, Li Ran just felt strange, if it was for her and Tao Fang, why did Bai Shuangshuang go out of the city so coincidentally? In addition, Li Wei said that when he searched the city that night, he had encountered people from the Taiwei Mansion, which made Li Ran have to wonder if it was related to the Zheng family.
Thinking back on everything in the past two days, Li Ran's face became more and more difficult to look at, but he couldn't see clearly under the veil. She said to the Zheng family, "Madam Bai, may I ask if you have arranged for someone from the Taiwei Mansion to find the whereabouts of Shuangshuang?" ”
Zheng was slightly stunned, and then thought that Admiral Li was in charge of the patrol and city gate in the capital, so he said frankly: "Yes, Shuangshuang has disappeared, we are naturally very anxious, Baifu is not enough manpower, so I borrowed people from my mother's house to find people." After speaking, he glanced at Li Ran unhappily and said, "What? Is Miss Li also in charge of the affairs of the Admiral of the Nine Gates? ”
Li Ran didn't take Zheng's cynicism to heart, and just asked, "Then let me ask again, when did Madam Bai seconded the staff of the Taiwei Mansion?" ”
This question made Zheng's heart a little weak, and she avoided answering and said: "Miss Li, I am also your elder, you have asked me questions since you entered the door, is there any courtesy?" After speaking, he didn't give Li Ran a chance to speak, and continued: "That's the thing, the frost is gone, and we are looking for it, if you are okay, please do it." ”
When Wu Fuzi heard this, he smiled slightly and said: "Madame Bai's words are wrong, Miss Li and Shuangshuang are good friends, and Admiral Li is in charge of the patrol in the city, when it comes to finding people, I am afraid that it is faster than the people in Taiwei's Mansion." Now that we know that something happened to Frost, Madame Bai might as well temporarily hand over the people from the Taiwei Mansion to the command of Lord Admiral, and find them first. ”
Although the Zheng family didn't know anything about the affairs of the court, they still knew very well that the personnel of the Taiwei Mansion were ostensibly the subordinates of the Taiwei Mansion, but in fact they were the private soldiers raised by the Taiwei Zheng. Although this kind of thing is not uncommon in the mansions of high-ranking officials, it is also a shameful thing in the final analysis.
What's more, these people from the Taiwei Mansion have been walking around the city and outside the city in the past few days, and they have more or less met with the patrol people, and I heard that Admiral Li has taken people to Bodaoling in the past few days, and she is also afraid that she will leave any clues and be discovered by the people of the Admiral of the Nine Gates, and the nearest investigation will be sent to the tiger's mouth.
Thinking of this, Zheng politely refused: "I don't think it compares, since Lord Admiral is so capable, what help can the shrimp soldiers and crab generals of the Taiwei Mansion help?" ”
Wu Fuzi had an idea in his heart when he heard this, but he didn't say anything more.
When Mrs. Cheng heard this, she felt that the Zheng family was unwilling to do her best to find the white frost, and said loudly: "Miss Li, there are some people in my Cheng Mansion who can use it, you tell your father, you can use it at any time." ”
However, in the matter under the name of the Admiral of the Nine Gates, where is Li Ran's turn to be in charge, so he can only smile apologetically.
Bai Mingzhu watched a few people on the side say that they were almost done, so she got up and said to Mrs. Cheng: "Old lady, I know you like your sister, but my sister is missing now, and everything knows that she eloped with a man, and now the concubine's edict was only sent to Cheng's mansion yesterday, how to clean it up, I am afraid that you should spend more effort on this." ”
The old lady opened her mouth, and before she could speak, she listened to Wu Fuzi and said: "Miss Bai Er is too worried, although Miss Bai is missing now, but eloping with a man is just a rumor, as long as Shuangshuang is found, the marriage will continue as usual." ”
Old Madam Cheng nodded and said, "What this lady said is very true, I believe in Shuangshuang's character, and it is impossible to do such a thing." She glanced at Zheng meaningfully and continued: "It's just that some villains have calculated the frost and want to use the topic to play." ”
Bai Mingzhu snorted lightly and said, "Even if you believe it, others may not believe it." My sister has been missing like this for several days, and no one knows who she met outside and what happened, even if she came back safe and sound, who would believe that she was still a clean girl? ”
Li Ran couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "It's funny, some people can come out to see people with their faces on their faces when they do things like seducing their brother-in-law in public, and others don't know the inside story about the disappearance of Shuangshuang, why is it not clean?" ”
"Who are you talking about?!"
"What? Is there anything wrong with what I'm saying? Or is Miss Bai Er very familiar with the person I just mentioned? ”
"You ......"
Li Ran was very angry in the past two days, and finally seized the opportunity to vent it on Bai Mingzhu, which can be regarded as a little more comfortable in his whole body.
Wu Fuzi listened to it on the sidelines, but he still thought about the right thing, and persuaded with good words: "Miss Bai Er's worry is also possible, but it is also simple, although I am not only a false name, but fortunately, my husband still has some reputation in the court and the opposition, but it is just to draft a document, and it will not delay much effort." At that time, I believe it will not be too troublesome to arrange some more famous people to correct the name of Shuangshuang. ”
Zheng was so angry that his teeth itched, but he had to go up and salute and said, "Then thank you Wufuzi." ”
"Madame Bai doesn't have to be polite, Frost is my student, and this is just a gesture for me. At the moment, it is necessary to find the frost first. Wu Fuzi sighed and said, "At present, it seems that it is necessary to act in a low-key manner, but also to be quick and powerful, and it is still necessary to have the help of Lord Admiral." ”
Li Ran was a little apologetic when he heard this, Admiral Li had focused on investigating the identity of the man in black for the past two days, and if he wanted him to find the white frost, he had to think about what to say.
