Chapter 144: The Ingot Treasure is missing
"It's not hard, and Ah Jin can help me."
I don't know why, when Song Qian replied that Ji Changye spoke, he couldn't help but be nervous, and then a little incoherent.
She didn't know what was wrong with her.
He Yujin, who was not far away, seemed to have seen through everything, and returned to his room with a relieved smile.
It seems that he was right to change his mind and help Changfeng match Song Qian and Ji Changye, but now it seems that the two of them are really getting more and more compatible.
He Yujin wanted to rest first in the interval between the ingots' return, after all, he told Song Qian about the dusty things that had been sealed for a long time today, and he was still a little difficult to accept, but he didn't think that as soon as he walked into the room, the peace charm hanging on the door fell down.
"How so?" Looking at the broken traces on the rope, and Yu Jin felt uneasy in his heart, and always felt that this broken peace charm was hinting at something, as if something bad would happen.
Thinking of this, He Yujin was inevitably shocked, and he hurriedly prayed to God not to let bad things happen, but he didn't know if this would work, but he finally comforted He Yujin. But soon he became uneasy again, until he paced the room, and the feeling grew stronger and stronger, as if an oppression had invaded him.
After I couldn't help it, He Yujin wanted to come to Song Qian's room to talk to her about what happened and relieve his tension. But as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Changfeng hurriedly jumping off the roof.
Song Qian and Ji Changye, who heard the movement, walked out of the kitchen and study respectively, and when they saw that he came back alone without following Yuanbao, Song Qian hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Changfeng, where did Yuanbao go?" Didn't you find him?" Song Qian became more and more worried, and his tone became more and more anxious.
Ji Changye also wondered how this could happen, so he followed Song Qian and asked Changfeng together.
"Lord Wang, Song Niangzi, the ingots are gone!"
The sound of the long wind resounded throughout the courtyard.
When she heard this, Song Qian froze in place like five thunderbolts, she looked at Changfeng in disbelief, and then staggered to him and asked, "What did you say? Ingots missing? How so, didn't you go pick him up? Usually nothing happens, why did something happen today? It's that he's still in the academy, or you haven't found him, right?"
Looking at Song Qian, who was about to collapse, Ji Changye stepped forward to pull her away and hold her up, so that she would not be able to bear it and fall.
Song Qian grabbed Ji Changye's sleeve, her throat seemed to be contained, at this time she was gradually losing her mind, and she couldn't control her emotions at all, she just wanted to know where Yuan Bao was now, whether she was safe, and what happened.
"The subordinates rushed to the academy and didn't find the ingot, and they thought he wanted to joke with his subordinates and hide in the corner of the academy to have fun. However, the subordinates and the scholars in the academy searched for a long time and did not find the ingot figure, so the subordinates guessed that the ingots must have been taken away. Otherwise, he is very well-behaved and waiting for me at the door on weekdays, how can he go to the street by himself?" Changfeng also blamed himself for being late, otherwise he would have taken the ingots back a long time ago, and such a thing would not have happened.
Ji Changye was very calm, and he asked Changfeng, "Have you sent someone to find it?" Don't miss any corner of town. Hurry up and tell Zeng Kangan to let him also send more people to find it, no matter how to make the momentum first. Song Niangzi, the top priority is to find the ingots, you are now resting at home and let Ah Jin take care of you, don't worry about eating something. I'll go to the college and search to see if I can find any clues."
As soon as the words fell, Ji Changye looked at He Yujin, who was also shocked, and said solemnly, "Ah Jin, Song Niangzi will be entrusted to you, you take care of Song Niangzi at home, and wait for us to come back."
"Got it, Brother Ji, you can go with confidence." He Yujin reacted after hearing Ji Changye's words, and hurriedly ran over to support the sad Song Qian from the other side.
Ji Changye glanced at Song Qian uneasily, in order not to delay time, even if he was not at ease, he could only turn around and walk out.
At this moment, Song Qian, who had calmed down a lot, looked at his back, hurriedly chased after Ji Changye and said, "Lord Wang, I want to go too, I must find the ingots."
"Song Niangzi, you know that you are very worried about the safety of Yuanbao, but according to your current appearance, it will definitely not have any good effect, what if something happens then? You just trust Brother Ji and Changfeng, this matter will definitely be handled by them." He Yujin walked up to Song Qian's side, looked at her reddened eyes, and even though he couldn't bear to say these words anymore, he still said them.
Yuan Bao was his friend, how could he not be worried? But the more critical the moment of crisis, the more calm you must be, otherwise it is easy to be self-defeating, and what if it is not good for the ingots and makes him injured?
Ji Changye also echoed He Yujin's words, because he didn't want Song Qian to have another incident, so no matter what, he would do his best to find out the ingots and catch the murderer behind the scenes.
But at this time, Song Qian had already made a decision, and no one could change it, knowing that she could not be persuaded by her, Ji Changye and He Yujin looked at each other and no longer stopped them, and got into the carriage prepared by Changfeng together, and came to the academy quickly.
At this time, Jiao Zhengqing already knew what was happening, and when he saw Ji Changye and Song Qian coming, it was no wonder that he greeted him apologetically and said, "It's the old decay that this academy can't stand it, and it actually makes people take the ingots from under their noses, it's all our fault, I'm really sorry." Seeing that, Jiao Zhengqing was about to kneel down on crutches, but Song Qian and Ji Changye hurriedly supported him.
"Don't say that, this matter has nothing to do with you and the academy, and it is already benevolent and righteous for you to help us find the ingots together." Ji Changye helped Jiao Zhengqing up and said gratefully.
Then they came to the academy together, and Jiao Zhengqing responded to what happened between him and Yuan Bao today, "I remember that it was Song Niangzi who sent Yuan Bao over in the early days, and at that time, Yuan Bao also asked me what the scriptures I talked about yesterday meant, and then he went to Mr. to study with other children. At lunchtime, Lao Yu saw him again, and he also gave his chicken legs to his classmates who were not very well-off, and Lao Yu praised him. I didn't think that it would be gone in the afternoon, we asked the gentleman who was in charge of sending the students away today, he said that Yuan Bao was waiting for someone to pick him up at the door as always, but he couldn't wait for the left, he couldn't wait for the right, and after the old man saw it, he asked him to go back to the academy to play by himself for a while, and soon someone would come to pick him up, and he did as I said, and he didn't see a trace after that, and after hearing about him, it was Changfeng who said he was gone."
When talking about these, Jiao Zhengqing always sighed, it was a pity for this matter.
After hearing this, Song Qian was a little heartbroken, and he was at a loss to stand upright, Ji Changye found out and walked to her side to comfort: "Song Niangzi, don't worry, the ingots will not be missing for a long time, if you look for it like this, you will definitely be able to find it, even if I turn the whole town over, I will never let go of any clues."
Ji Changye's words did have some effect, Song Qian quickly calmed down, at this time she found herself tightly grasping Ji Changye's sleeve, and she instinctively wanted to let go, but she hesitated at this time, because it made her feel at ease, she would not completely lose her mind because of the ingots, and she could stay awake to find Song Qian.
For the sake of ingots, for the sake of what is unknown in his heart, Song Qian did not choose to let go of Ji Changye like he was electrocuted before, and Ji Changye was very surprised but more at ease when he found out, and felt that he had more energy to find the ingots.
At this moment, Changfeng grabbed Ji Changye's two subordinates who were lined up with Yuanbao, and he pushed them in front of Ji Changye and asked, "Didn't you let you protect Yuanbao at all times? Why don't you know about the disappearance of ingots? Where did you go at that time?" Changfeng thought that it was because they were lazy that they would cause a catastrophe.
But after the two people looked at each other, they immediately begged for mercy: "The prince forgives the sin, the prince forgives the sin." The little ones are indeed arranged to follow the young master of Yuanbao at all times, and they can't let him be hurt a little, and the subordinates know the kindness of the prince, so they naturally don't dare to slack off. But today's thing. It's really unheard of for us, but in an instant, Young Master Yuanbao disappeared, and we didn't know what to do."
The two of them did not live up to Ji Changye's arrangement, and for what happened today, although they witnessed what happened, because the speed of the thief was too fast, they had not to do anything, and the ingots disappeared.
Changfeng looked at them suspiciously, too
It was difficult to decide, and then he looked at Ji Changye, waiting for him to give the order to what to do next.
"According to you, what happened today really has little to do with you, so you don't have to do anything to make amends. Did any of you see the thief clearly?" Ji Changye is a person who can distinguish right from wrong, if there is no evidence, he will never wronged anyone, so after knowing that the two of them were not intentional, he asked Changfeng to let go of the imprisoned them.
The two of them thought about it carefully, but none of them saw the thief's face, so all clues were interrupted here.
Song Qianqiang pretended to be calm and looked at Jiao Zhengqing and asked, "Sir, are there any suspicious faces in this academy today?" Or maybe something strange happened?" As the saying goes, there must be a demon when something goes wrong, so Song Qian guessed the truth of this matter.
And Jiao Zhengqing suddenly thought of something after thinking about it, "Hearing you say this, there is indeed a suspicious person who appeared in the academy today. It was the little scholar who came to the academy with Mrs. Wang to study before, and was dismissed for humiliating you and having no rules, and came back today. The people below didn't know his identity, and they thought that he was the son of a family who came to study, so they let him in unsuspectingly, and then the ingots disappeared, so this matter may be the same as ......."
Jiao Zhengqing's words stopped talking, he knew that some words were over, and he didn't have any substantial evidence to say that the scholar did it intentionally, even if he had this motive.
"Really?" Song Qian seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and was very happy that the incident had developed. And after Ji Changye heard it, he also thought of the scholar, and couldn't help frowning, thinking to himself that he had no power and no power, how could he have the courage to provoke Song Qian?
So there must be something else going on here.
In this way, Ji Changye didn't dare to delay anything, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to rush to investigate the whereabouts of the scholar, and did not forget to comfort Song Qian and said, "Anyway, this matter is over. I believe that if he can get the ingots back soon, he will definitely be safe."
