Near evening, Cong Xi carried the food box with Lan Chu, Cong Ran went to visit Jian Xuan again, and just out of the gate of Qu Mansion, he saw Hua Lu and his son Hua Song walking down from the carriage, and the two servants next to him each held a bunch of gift boxes. Hua Lu saw Congxi, hurriedly greeted him, raised his hand and saluted: "The second young lady is going to leave the house?" ”

Congxi returned the salute and nodded: "Go to visit a friend, Master Hua?" ”

Hua Lu said: "Come and see my grandson, I'm a grandfather, it's the first time I saw my grandson at noon, I'm really ashamed, I just went home and specially chose some meeting gifts, and hurriedly sent them to my grandson." Hua Yue and the second son are both in the mansion, right? ”

From the dark thoughts, Hua Lu and Hua Song will definitely ask Hua Yue when they see Hua Yue, Hua Yue will say something wrong, and their plan will be wasted, so don't let them see Hua Yue first, so as not to cause extraneous branches.

Congxi smiled and said: "I accepted Master Hua's mind on behalf of the little boy, Qu Zaichen and Hua Yue are a little tired today, it is inconvenient to meet guests, Master Hua should come back another day." ”

Uncle Sun from the concierge took the gift.

Hua Lu hesitated and said, "Okay, I'll come back another day." ”

Hua Lu and Hua Song said goodbye to Congxi, and Congxi, Lan Chu, and Congran then left.

Late at night, in Xu's mansion, in front of a secluded house, two guards walked back and forth in front of the house. A man in black crept in, holding a long package in his left hand and a long sword in his right hand, raised his hand to quickly knock down the two guards, and then pushed the door into the house. As soon as the door was pushed open, a string of piercing bells rang, and seven or eight guards immediately poured out from the periphery, and the black-clothed man Yun Xian saw this, and hurriedly fled, and a guard saw the package in Yun Xian's hand and shouted: "The child has been robbed, chase after it." ”

When the guards heard this, they chased after Yun Xian together.

When the guards were far away, two more men in black jumped to the front of the house, carefully avoiding the bells, and as soon as they entered the house, five or six guards with long swords poured out of the house, and quickly surrounded them. The black-clothed people Luo Yi and Lan Chu hurriedly drew their swords to resist, and when the two sides fought fiercely, they were also dressed in black and quietly slipped into the room, picked up the child, quickly left the room, and flew away.

Congxi just jumped onto the outer wall with the child in his arms, and a sword next to him stabbed quickly, Congxi fell off the wall in fright, and was frightened, and his waist was suddenly grabbed by Qu Zaichen, who was also dressed in black, and the two fell to the ground lightly. The sword just now followed, Qu Zaichen held Congxi in his left hand and quickly retreated, and at the same time raised the sword in his right hand, using the scabbard to block the long sword stabbed in front of him, and the two swords struck each other, and the sound shook the ground. Qu Zaichen's arm was raised hard, Wen Tian behind the long sword, felt his wrist numb, and an extremely strong internal force rushed in, Wen Tian couldn't stand the force, and took a few steps back. Qu Zaichen immediately took the leap away.

In the study of Xufu, a little residual light is swaying.

Xu Yan sat at the desk and said angrily: "What's the matter, so many people, and let the thieves escape?" ”

Wen Tian hurriedly said: "It's the incompetence of my subordinates, please forgive me." Those thieves came prepared, and first one of them used a fake package to act as the remnants of the Ning family, diverted the tiger from the mountain, and led away the guards outside the house. Later, two men in black restrained the remaining guards in the house. The fourth took the opportunity to take the child. Moreover, the fifth person who appeared outside the courtyard wall had extremely high martial arts, and his subordinates were not his opponents, so they escaped. ”

Xu Yan frowned and said: "So there are at least five thieves who robbed the remnants of the Ning family today, all of whom are strong in martial arts, and it seems that they have a lot of backgrounds. Could it be Ning Yuan's old department, but yesterday we deliberately spread the news that Ning Xiaogongzi had been sent to the capital, how did they know that Ning Xiaogongzi was still in the mansion? ”

Wen Tian: "The child cries from time to time, maybe he was noticed by Ning Yuan's old department. One of the two men in black who was fighting with the guards in the house just now was stabbed in the back by the guards, and I will send someone to the infirmary to check in to see if I can find them. ”

Xu Yan frowned and said: "I have written to the court about the arrest of the remnants of the Ning family, and I also said that I will send the remnants of the Ning family back to the capital in a few days." Now that the child is lost, how can I explain to the imperial court, the top priority is to find Ning Xiaogongzi as soon as possible. At this moment, the city gate has not been opened, and they cannot get out of the city, so you immediately notify the city gate guards, and from tomorrow onwards, those who enter and exit the city gates, no matter what their identities, must be carefully investigated. Even if we go door-to-door tomorrow, we will find the child as soon as possible. ”

Wen Tian hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

Xu Yan stood up and was about to leave, when he suddenly stopped, took out the two books on the table, took a closer look, and said in a panic: "Someone has touched my desk, I only put these two books here before going to bed, and the two books are upside down." ”

Wen Tian also exclaimed: "The maid who cleans the room will not enter and exit the adult's study at this time, could it be that the thief who just robbed the child, and at the same time used the sound to attack the west, taking advantage of the chaos outside, the sixth and seventh people slipped into the adult's study and stole what objects?"

Xu Yan glanced at the beam of the house in surprise when he heard this, and was about to jump on the beam when he heard the sky, but suddenly stopped. After listening intently for a moment, he walked out of the study and flew to the roof with all his might. On the roof, a man in black tapped his toes lightly, and fell to the back of the house against the wall of the house, just staggering with Wentian. Wen Tian glanced around the roof, jumped off the roof, returned to the study, and closed the door. The man in black behind the house quietly moved to the window of the study and listened carefully to the movements in the study.

Xu Yan looked at Wen Tian and asked, "What's the matter, what abnormalities have you found?" ”

Wen Tian shook his head and said: "No, just be cautious, the martial arts strong I met outside the wall just now, if he was nearby, I might not be able to detect it." ”

Then, Wen Tian jumped to the beam and column along the wall with his left hand, and pressed forward with his right hand to the left side of the beam, and the living wooden board was pushed away, revealing the account books and letters inside. Wen Tian took a closer look at the account books and letters, his right hand pressed against the live wooden board, and then pushed back, and the live wooden board was closed, tightly sealed, and there was no gap in the slightest. Wen Tian jumped down to the ground, looked at Xu Yan and nodded, "Don't worry, my lord, it's all here." ”

When Xu Yan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Tiandao: "Since there are thieves who have broken into the study, it is likely that they are coming for these things, but do they need to move elsewhere?" ”

Xu Yan thought for a moment and said: "The thief didn't find these things in the study, he should think that the object he was looking for was not in the study, and it was safer to stay in place, but I don't know who broke into the study and wanted to find something?" First find the remnants of the Ning family, and then go all out to pursue those thieves. ”

Wen Tian nodded: "Yes." ”

Xu Yan glanced around the study and said, "The doors and windows are intact, and I have always carried the study key with me, how did those thieves enter the study?" ”

Wen Tian hesitated for a moment and said: "The thieves are not immortals, if they don't break the door and break the window, they can only have the key to the study, and the key on the adult's body may have been compounded by others?" ”

Xu Yan frowned: "That can only be done by the people around me, damn it, when I find a traitor, I will never spare him." ”

Wen Tian: "I'll ask someone to change the door lock in a while." ”

Xu Yan nodded: "Okay." ”

After Xu Yan and Wentian turned off the lights and left, the man in black turned out of the corner of the study, walked lightly to the door of the study, inserted the key in his hand into the copper lock, the copper lock was opened immediately, and the man in black quietly walked into the study. A moment later, the man in black had just left the study and locked the door, Wen Tian walked quickly to the door of the study with a new lock and replaced the original copper lock.

Youyun Yuan, Luo Yi returned to his bedroom, just took off his black clothes with great effort, Lan Chu took the medicine bottle and pushed the door directly in, Luo Yi was slightly embarrassed: "Miss Lan, who are you?" ”

Lan Chu said calmly: "I'll help you with the medicine." ”

Luo Yi hurriedly said: "No, I can do it myself." ”

Lan Chu: "You are injured on your back, how can you take the medicine yourself?" ”

Luo Yi hesitated and said, "I can wait for Yun Gongzi, and I may not have slept yet." ”

Lan Chu: "I fell asleep on the table, I just carried him to the bed, he never woke up, it should be that we are too sleepy for too long, let him sleep." Why do you have to wait for Yun Xian, I will apply medicine? ”

Luo Yi was embarrassed: "Men and women are not kissed, for fear of damaging the girl's reputation." ”

Lan Chu said seriously: "If you are benevolent and honest and honest, you don't necessarily have to be bound by etiquette. ”

Luo Yi hesitated: "This.."

Lan Chu: "Do you want to come back from Xi and do it for you?" ”

Luo Yi hurriedly said: "No." ”

Luo Yi hesitated, sat down at the table, his face was slightly red, and he half-took off his coat.

Lan Chu sat down beside him, uncorked the bottle, and said while sprinkling medicinal powder on Luo Yi's wound: "Why do you want to block that sword for me?" ”

Luo Yi hesitated again and said, "You are a girl, it is not good to have scars on your body." I'm rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so it doesn't matter if I take a sword. ”

Lan Chu said: "Your skin is fine and white, quite smooth, not rough at all. Next time, you don't have to block the sword for me for this. ”

Luo Yi's face was red, and he was speechless.

Early the next morning, the guards of the Jinzhou city gate strictly checked everyone who entered and exited the city gate, and the prefect's yamen issued a notice that a two- or three-month-old baby was robbed by thieves, and the baby had a brown patch on the back of the baby that was shaped like an egg, and the baby was robbed last night. Whoever hears an abnormal baby crying or can provide other clues, can inform the government, and if they can help the government find the baby, a reward of 50 taels of silver. The government office has posted notices all over the city.

Fifty taels of silver is not a small amount for ordinary people, as soon as the notice came out, the city was full of wind and rain, and many people even stopped supporting their families, and devoted themselves to running around the streets and alleys, probing the clues of the baby, and from the afternoon, there was an endless stream of people who provided clues in the yamen.
