Chapter 56: The Coming Storm (2)

Chapter 56

Here, Jia Min and Lu Yi were already lying on the bed, and Daiyu also listened to Jia Min's words and went back to sleep obediently.

But Lin Ruhai and Governor Zheng in the study had no intention of sleeping.

In addition to waiting for news, they are also analyzing who would do such a thing, and what makes them most angry is that it was their daughter who was snatched under their noses, and they simply didn't take them seriously.

The two thought of a candidate at the same time, and he was the only one who could be so arrogant in Yangzhou.

Zhen Yingdao.

Previously, he was appointed as the Imperial History of Salt Patrol by the current Shengshang, and he always felt that he had robbed him of his position, and he had always been dissatisfied with him.

Lin Ruhai and Governor Zheng glanced at each other, but what puzzled them was that this old fox had always been in the dark, why was it so blatant all of a sudden, could it be that there was something new that could not be done.

At the same time, the Zhen family's study is also brightly lit.

"Father, why don't you rest so late." Zhen Yingdao stood at the bottom and looked at his father respectfully.

"Second son, I heard that the daughters of the Lin family and the Zheng family have been lost." Old lady Zhen lay on the soft couch and closed her eyes and said.

"Yes, father, my son also received the rumor, I heard that when I went to Daming Temple to play, I was robbed by someone under my nose, and I haven't found it yet." Zhen Yingdao's words were full of schadenfreude, he and Lin Ruhai didn't deal with each other, the governor of Liangjiang surnamed Zheng was in collusion with Lin Ruhai and opposed him everywhere, and now the two of them were unlucky, he was naturally happy to see it, and even added fuel to the fire~.

Thinking of this, the corners of Zhen Yingdao's mouth hooked a slight arc, so small that even Old Lady Zhen didn't notice it.

"Second brother, this incident has something to do with you." Although it was a question, the tone was quite affirmative.

"Where does the father say this, how can this matter have anything to do with the son." Zhen Yingdao denied.

"Okay, I don't know about your little trick, just remind you not to really overdo it, if those two children really can't be found, you'll be in trouble."

"Father, son knows."

"Hmm~"

Seeing that the old lady closed his eyes, Zhen Yingdao consciously knew that this conversation was over, and quietly retreated, so as not to disturb his father's rest.

Zhen Yingdao, who left the study, looked up in the direction of the Lin family.

"I'm looking forward to your expressions."

He sneered, then reined in, went back to his room, and prepared to rest.

The sky is gradually whitening, and a new day has arrived.

Lin Ruhai and Governor Zheng sat in the Lin family's study for a day, and every time news came, they thought that their daughter had a whereabouts, but they were disappointed again and again, and later, they were even a little desperate, especially as the sky became brighter, they didn't know how to face their wife's expectant gaze.

Just when both of them were in a state of agitation, it was good that the news came once.

The two glanced at each other and thought silently in their hearts, hoping that this time there was really good news.

Maybe God can't stand the two big men sighing so much, and have to open a small stove for them.

"Master, eldest lady, they have a whereabouts."

When the voice came, where did Lin Ruhai and Governor Zheng still sit, and because of the excitement, the chairs under Governor Zheng's buttocks almost overturned.

"Seriously, my daughter has a whereabouts." The person who came to report the news was so crazy in front of him, and he was shocked by his temperament, and he didn't know whether to speak or not for a while.

"You'd rather speak quickly, if they have news." Seeing that the person who came did not speak for a long time, Governor Zheng was anxious, his eyes were red, and the whole person was like an enraged lion, on the verge of breaking out at any time.

The deterrent power of the officialdom for a long time on his body is even more unscrupulous, and this time the person is no longer frightened, but is speechless by the momentum, his whole body begins to tremble, cold sweat breaks out, and he does not dare to look directly into Governor Zheng's eyes.

Lin Ruhai saw that things were not good, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.

"Brother Zheng, calm down." Lin Ruhai is usually a weak person, but this time his strength is too great, so he pulled away Governor Zheng, who was a little enchanted, pressed him on the chair, and then looked at the person who reported the news and motioned for him to speak.

The person who reported the news swallowed his saliva, and looked at Governor Zheng who was still a little sluggish sitting in his position, and then looked at the slightly haggard old man in front of him, but he was still like Mu Chun.

It's just that I don't know if the master can keep his coldness when he knows the following news, and he is a little worried, but he quickly told Lin Ruhai the news he received word for word, observing Lin Ruhai's expression while talking, but what disappointed him was that Lin Ruhai had a faint smile from beginning to end, showing a good bearing and self-cultivation.

After finishing speaking, he stopped talking and stayed quietly, waiting for Lin Ruhai's instructions.

Lin Ruhai didn't say much, just waved his hand and asked him to go down and rest.

The study was silent again, "Brother Zheng, come with me to take a look, sometimes things always have to be faced." ”

Governor Zheng was still stunned, and he didn't seem to hear Lin Ruhai's words, but Lin Ruhai knew that he heard it, and even saw that his weakly drooping hand was trembling slightly.

For a while, Lin Ruhai didn't know how to speak, how to comfort this man who was facing the biggest blow in his life.

"Brother Lin, don't tell my wife about this matter first." Just when he wouldn't get a response other than Lin Ruhai, Governor Zheng suddenly spoke, looking at his red eyes, Lin Ruhai had no reason to refuse him.

Nod yes.

"Thank you, let's go like the sea, some things always have to be faced by someone, I hope I am a hero, I believe Rong'er also hopes so."

The body that stood up was still a little shaky, Lin Ruhai supported him worriedly, but he was thrown away, stabilized his body, and walked out by himself.

Looking at his back walking outside, Lin Ruhai suddenly felt that his originally tall body seemed to be rickety all of a sudden, and he couldn't be comforted, although this was cruel, but he always had to face it.

So did he.

Lin Ruhai is a literati with a sour side, but he is also an official, and rationality also accompanies him.

Going to the scene may really be a self-inflicted effort, but there are some things that must be done, and this is an inescapable responsibility, the responsibility of being a father.

With a heavy heart, the two sternly explained before going out that they must not reveal anything to the two ladies, and then boarded the carriage, and they were going to fetch their children, whether they were dead or alive.

They almost went with the worst possible outcome.

After arriving at the scene, looking at the courtyard that had been surrounded by officers and soldiers, the two no longer hesitated and walked in quickly.

The prefect of Yangzhou, who had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, saw that the two were about to speak, but they were blocked back by the serious and ugly faces of the two.

Lin Ruhai and the others really didn't have time to listen to him, so they waved their hands directly, and said that they wanted to see the corpse.

The two bigwigs were so serious that the prefect of Yangzhou had to reluctantly swallow the words that were about to blurt out.
