In the evening of the same day, the news of Cheng Xin's disappearance spread.

The biggest suspects naturally fell on Song Cheng and Wang Yu, and Su Quzhi also had a big suspicion, and Su Quzhi naturally would not admit that people fell into his hands.

Su Qu's illness is a special situation, after all, his sister is a concubine of the dynasty, no matter how angry the local government is, they dare not arrest the concubine's younger brother just because of suspicion.

No matter what era it is, it is natural to pick up soft persimmons and pinch them, not to mention that the biggest suspects are actually the two outsiders who have just arrived in Suzhou City.

Originally, they quickly locked the objects of suspicion on Song Cheng and Wang Yu, but these two people were new faces, and everyone didn't even know their names.

As the most prosperous city in the south of the Yangtze River in this era, Suzhou City has a very frequent population flow due to its economic and trade development, and it is a needle in a haystack to find two strangers.

"Waste, why can't you even find two people?"

"In my opinion, will they all hide in the Su Mansion?"

"Cheng Xin's thing knows a lot of things, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he has to find out people!"

……

Faced with a fruitless search all over the city, Hou Haotian was immediately angry, and finally couldn't help but refocus his suspicious eyes on Su Quzhi.

Tweet!

Su Quzhi suddenly sneezed heavily, muttering whether it was Hou Haotian or Wang Yanao cursing himself.

The next morning, the sky finally ushered in bright sunshine.

South of the city, Su Province.

Now the head of the family, Su Bonian, is a nobleman by virtue of his daughter, although he is a businessman, but now he is awarded the five products by the imperial court, Nanjing Beizhen, Fu Si is a thousand households with brocade clothes and guards.

Although he could not go to Nanjing to take up his post in this way, Su Bonian seemed to want to change his life and often lived in Nanjing.

Although he himself was not in Suzhou, as the focus of Suzhou's business tilted to Nanjing, the overall impact was not great, and even expanded the market for Sujia silk.

At this time, in the wing of the back house, Cheng Xin has been tied up with five flowers, and the bag that fell from the horse's back yesterday and snorted on his forehead has been swollen like a steamed bun.

Cheng Xin didn't understand a very ordinary revenge-seeking behavior, and as a result, he failed to lead people to encircle the other party, but he fell into the hands of others.

Even if he was in a bad situation, he felt a lot more relieved when he thought that this was Suzhou City, where their Jiangnan business was only in the sky.

Cheng Xin saw Song Cheng and Wang Yu walking in from outside the door, and immediately shouted angrily: "You are in private confinement, is it rare that you are not afraid of Wang Fa?" ”

"Wang Fa? If you really have the royal law in your eyes, you won't be so unscrupulous! Wang Yu saw that Cheng Xin was talking about the royal law, and immediately said with disdain.

This son-in-law can't live without a king on weekdays, but now he is in danger and remembers the good of the Ming King's Law, and he actually wants to protect himself through the King's Law.

However, throughout the ages, there have been many such people.

You tell him about the king's law, and he plays hooligan with you; You play hooligan with him, and he tells you the royal law; In the final analysis, they are actually the ultimate egoist.

"Brother Cheng, don't come unharmed!" Su Quzhi poked out a head from behind, and greeted with a little sly on his face.

Although a day has passed, the scars of yesterday are still there, and they still ache faintly. Compared with this pain, Cheng Xin's language is more heart-wrenching.

At this moment, seeing Cheng Xin fall into his hands, his heart also swelled with a sense of happiness.

Cheng Xin saw Su Qubing appear here, and turned his head to look out of the door seriously: "This is Su Mansion?" ”

Yesterday he fainted after being slapped on horseback and woke up to find himself stuffed in a sack, so he didn't really know where he was.

"Huh? Where did you tell that this is Sioux House? Su Quzhi looked around, there was no obvious sign, and he looked very confused.

Wang Yu saw Su Quai's reaction, but he reminded helplessly: "He lied to you!" ”

Cheng Xin was originally just guessing and tempting, but now when he saw Su Quai's reaction, he knew that the place he was in was Su Mansion: "You guys are really stupid!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Su Quzhi was depressed that he had been fooled, and suddenly said like a furious.

Cheng Xin looked at the angry Su Quai, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "If you lock up my son in another place, Suzhou City is so big, they may not be able to find me." This Su Mansion, I'm sure it won't take a day to come to the door to rescue this son! ”

Originally, he was still more worried about his safety, but now that he knew that he was in Su Mansion, he completely let go of his heart that was about to hang.

After Wang Yu saw Cheng Xin's confident reaction, he couldn't help frowning and looking at Song Cheng, their arrangement seemed to be a real mistake.

"Why are you so sure they're going to come to your rescue?" Song Cheng's gaze kept falling on Cheng Xin's body, and he asked very seriously.

Cheng Xin didn't expect the black-faced young man in front of him to ask such a stupid question, and immediately sneered: "As long as they investigate a little, they will know that Ben Gongzi is locked up in Su Mansion by you, and they will naturally come to save Ben Gongzi!" ”

"I don't know who you're talking about?" Song Cheng didn't look embarrassed, and still asked seriously.

Cheng Xin was about to answer, but suddenly realized that he was too passive: "Why did this son tell you?" ”

"You just talked about them, not your Cheng family, so you should be referring to the gang of Jiangnan merchants. It's just that you can be so sure, either they need your resources very much, or you have something or a handle in your hands that they care about, but your Cheng family is already down, so naturally you can't help them much, so I think it's the latter! Song Cheng has a strong logical ability, and immediately speculated.

In fact, when he spoke, his eyes were also observing Cheng Xin. The reason why he can solve strange cases repeatedly, in addition to his criminal investigation ability, is also related to his ability to keenly capture the other party's emotional changes.

Cheng Xin couldn't help but re-examine this taciturn black-faced young man, but suddenly became vigilant: "Who are you?" ”

Originally, he had been angry at Wang Yu and Su Quai, but after simple contact now, he found that the real terrifying person was the black-faced young man in front of him.

But at this time, there was a movement at the door of Su Mansion.

"This is it!"

"No one has been coming in just now!"

"We've figured out who is inside!"

……

Hou Haotian personally came with a group of dogs, and there was already an ambush here, and they walked to the gate of Su Mansion as if they were improvised masters.

"Do you know what kind of place this is, and how can you go wild?" After hearing the movement, the housekeeper of Su Mansion also came out with a group of nurses.

In this spring light in March, the front of the Su family seemed tense, and the atmosphere became very tense.

Hou Haotian looked at the Su family who was blocking him, but he immediately wanted to be humane: "We already know that your Su family will lock Cheng Xin inside, and hand him over quickly, otherwise he will blame this son for being polite!" ”

Since he couldn't find the traces of the two strangers yesterday, he had no choice but to look suspiciously on Su Quai.

Originally, he didn't have much hope, but after they inquired through the servants of Su Mansion, they found that Cheng Xin was really imprisoned in Su Mansion by Su Quai.

Now that Su Qubing has been caught and committed such a crime, he not only wants to rescue Cheng Xin, but also let Su Qubing stay in the prison of Suzhou Mansion.

"Hou Gongzi, the old slave knows that your father is the left servant of the Nanjing household department, but the Su Mansion is not something that you can break into a small ya!" The butler didn't seem to be afraid at all, and immediately said in a fierce voice.

Hou Haotian couldn't help but be stunned, only then did he realize that he was no longer the original businessman's family, and the other party really didn't sell his father's face and was really nothing.

It's just that he was blocked by a little house slave, and his heart was already angry.

Hou Haotian took the initiative to stop his subordinates who wanted to break in, but he asked loudly: "Your Su family detains people without authorization, is there still a royal law in your eyes?" ”

"This is Concubine Jing's mother's house, my lord is a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, what are you? It's not your turn to point fingers here! The housekeeper of the Su Mansion looked very tough, full of contempt for Hou Haotian.

Say 1,000, say 10,000, the current Su Mansion is the dignified Concubine Jing's mother's house, and it is not the turn of a person who has no fame and official position to lead someone to break through.

Damn it!

Since Hou Haotian founded the Jiangnan business name with Zheng Jie, he has always been the first young man in Jiangnan surrounded by 10,000 people.

"What about the Honfu?"

It was at this moment that a rather majestic voice came.

An official sedan chair came here at some point, accompanied by a group of officials from Suzhou Mansion, and the Lord Su Song Bingbeidao behind him also brought a group of armored soldiers.

When the car door was opened, a slightly obese middle-aged fat man came out, wearing a brand-new four-grade official uniform, very white and clean, with a beautiful mustache.

When Hou Haotian saw the comer, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "My nephew greets my uncle!" ”

Appearing here is Feng Zhong, the prefect of Suzhou, with a strong official authority all over his body.

He is a native of Cixi, Zhejiang, a jinshi in Chenghua for 14 years, the first director of the Criminal Department, and later promoted to Wailang, leaving Beijing to serve as the prefect of Yangzhou. Because of his good performance in Yangzhou and his ability to do things, he is now promoted to the prefect of Suzhou.

Feng Zhong showed a warm smile in the face of Hou Haotian, but when he looked in the direction of the gate of Suzhou again, the whole person immediately returned to full official style.

Although Su Mansion can stop a son-in-law like Hou Haotian, he is the high-ranking prefect of Suzhou, and he is the parent official of the most prosperous place in this area.

"Lord Fuzun, this is Concubine Jing's maiden home, please give my Su family a little face!" The housekeeper of the Su family softened his tone and asked very seriously.

Although Feng Zhong's identity is indeed very strong, their Su family is Concubine Jing's maiden family after all, and their lord is also the Zhengqian household of the incumbent Nanzhen Fusi.

Where is there so much fairness and justice in this world, usually it is the sedan chair people who carry people, and this Suzhou prefect can also sell their Su family's face.

Hou Haotian looked at Feng Zhong nervously, but Feng Zhong didn't even think about it: "Joke! The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, yesterday your Young Master Su forcibly abducted Cheng Xin here, and this government has no reason to turn a blind eye! ”

Although his words are righteous and awe-inspiring, everyone knows that he is on Hou Haotian's side, otherwise local officials are usually unwilling to offend their relatives' families.

"Search!"

Su Song's soldiers were ready to go, and Chu Jian was already ready to go, even with a big wave of his hand.

In fact, he had already arranged for personnel to block the back door in advance, and now the Su Mansion has become a turtle in the urn, and that Young Master Su must have to pay for yesterday's behavior.

"Wait!"

It was at this moment that a voice came from not far away.

Everyone looked for prestige, but when they saw the middle-aged man in a betta suit, they couldn't help but be stunned.

This middle-aged man is none other than Su Bonian, the head of the Su family, who is now the Qianhu of Fusi in Nanzhen, and the father of Concubine Jing of the current dynasty.

Although Su Bonian was born as a businessman, his waist is now straight, and his fat body is also a bit majestic, and he is also followed by a group of brocade guards.

Su Song's soldiers said that Chu Jian's eyes flashed with surprise, and he also stopped the soldiers who were about to rush into Su Mansion.

Feng Zhong saw Su Bonian, who actually appeared in Suzhou City, but he preemptively said: "Su Qianhu, it's just right for you to come back!" Your family Su is really bold, and he dares to detain Cheng Siqing's son Cheng Xin privately, such a bad act is not tolerated by the king's law! ”

"Governor Feng, this is a mistake!" Su Bonian has the shrewdness of a businessman, but he is holding back Ma Jiandao.

Feng Zhong's brows furrowed slightly, and he said in confusion: "What's wrong?" ”

Hey?

Hou Haotian and Chu Jian became bystanders, but they looked at Su Bonian suspiciously, no matter how much Su Bonian protected the calf like this, he should not dare to go against the king's law.

"First, Cheng Minzheng was dismissed and dismissed by the imperial court, why did Cheng Siqing say it?" Su Bonian knew that Feng Zhong was actually an anti-imperialist party, so he seriously corrected him.

Feng Zhong also realized that there was indeed something wrong with his words, but he emphasized Su Quai's crime and said: "This government's statement is indeed inappropriate, but Su Quai's private detention of Cheng Xin is not wrong, right?" ”

This is the second point that this thousand households want to correct! The reason why Su Qubing detained Cheng Xin is actually the meaning of this thousand households, and it is also the need of Nanzhen Fusi! Su Bonian got off the horse, and his eyes flashed with a touch of cunning.

Originally, it was indeed wrong for them to detain Cheng Xin, but who made him a Jinyi guard, and now in the name of running errands for the emperor, it is natural that Cheng Xin can continue to be imprisoned.

Hou Haotian couldn't sit still, and immediately asked loudly: "What is Cheng Xin's fault?" Why do you want to detain him? ”

"Hou Gongzi, do you still have to report to you when Jinyiwei does something?" Su Bonian looked playful and authentic.

Su Songbing, who was riding on horseback, had already known Su Bonian's calculations, and immediately accused angrily: "Your actions are clearly in the name of running errands to protect the crimes committed by your son!" ”

"I'm not afraid to tell you! Ben Qianhu is actually acting on orders, and Cheng Xin is the person named by Wang Ge Lao, do you still want to stop it? "Su Bonian is already an old man, and he seems to be fearless.

The king beheaded?

Su Songbing was prepared for Chu Jian to hear that Cheng Xin turned out to be the person named by Wang Yue, so he couldn't help but nod secretly.

Hou Haotian looked up at Su Bonian in horror, this Wang Yue actually wanted to break through from Cheng Xin.

Just when everyone thought that the matter was over here, Feng Zhong, the prefect of the Su Mansion, suddenly said in a deep voice: "Su Qianhu, what if the Governor does not agree?" ”

"Governor Feng, are you disobeying?" Su Bonian didn't expect Governor Feng to be so tough, and suddenly asked loudly.

Feng Zhong knew that Cheng Xin could not fall into the hands of Wang Yue, so he immediately raised the banner of justice and said: "This mansion is not disobeying, but to return a heavenly reason." Your young master of the Su family cares about people's lives, and you are a dignified Jinyi Wei Qianhu who actually helps to abuse people, so this mansion has to take care of it for the sake of local peace! Come on, go in and search for this house immediately, and be sure to rescue Cheng Xin! (End of chapter)
