Chapter 161: Lucky
"What's going on?"
"Miss Tao is Tao Yuyu?"
Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan spoke almost at the same time.
"Zhan Pei Wujuan and they have always been in contact with several helpers near the Tao family, and they can be regarded as taking care of the Tao family."
Geng Xingshuang quickly explained to Zhu Yan that the last time Tao's mother died, Zhanpei and the others had already gotten the news and went to the Bofu to inform themselves in time, but she was not in the mansion that day, so she didn't learn the news of Tao's mother's death from the guy until she went to Ruyi Lou for dinner.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan spoke almost at the same time.
Wu Juan hurriedly said: "Girl, don't worry, Sister Zhan has gone out of the city to find someone, here's the thing, today Guo Er came to us, Guo Er is one of the neighbors of the Tao family, today the school is closed, Miss Tao is also resting, the sister and brother went to the Mingshan Temple outside the city to pray for the deceased Mrs. Tao incense, they went early in the morning, but until now the person has not returned, Miss Tao's father has already left work, did not see the Tao family sister and brother, and asked a few neighbors, learned that they have not come back since they went out of the city in the morning to incense, Now I'm looking for it outside the city. ”
"Will they stay in the temple for the night, our family used to go to incense, and often stayed in the temple."
Zhu Yan felt that it was not necessarily an accident.
Geng Xingshuang had the same idea as Tao Rong, she shook her head, "Mingshan Temple is not far from Ningdu City, even if they go on foot, they should be able to come back in the afternoon, if they take a ride, it is normal to come back and go in half a day, and the younger brother of the Tao family will have classes tomorrow, and Master Xiaoyu will also go to work." ”
Besides, if you stay in the temple for one night, you have to give more money for sesame oil, and the Tao family is not rich, so Geng Xingshuang feels that it is very unlikely that the Tao family sisters and brothers will take the initiative to stay in the temple, unless they encounter some sudden accident and have to stay in the temple for one night.
Zhu Yan also thought of this, and she asked Wu Juan, "Are you going to go out of the city in a while?" ”
Wu Juan hesitated, "I'm going to send the girl back to the house......"
"I'll send you girls back to Bofu, you go with Zhujian, and I'll send two more guards out of the city with you, the city gate shouldn't be closed yet, but you're afraid you won't be able to come back tomorrow morning."
Zhu Yan said, asked Xiaofeng to order two guards, and followed Wu Juan Bamboo Sword out of the city to find someone.
After Zhu Yan arranged all this, she suddenly found that she seemed to be a little anxious, and the person who arranged Geng Xingshuang, although she was a good friend, still seemed to be overly obedient in doing this, and she was a little embarrassed.
"Sister Shuang, hehe, I was a little anxious just now, don't you mind!"
Geng Xingshuang shook his head, "Have you already regarded Master Xiaoyu as a person from the Zhenguo Mansion?" ”
Zhu Yan is indeed enthusiastic and generous to others, but after all, she is a young lady in the public mansion, and she also has her own pride, but whenever she encounters Tao Yuyu's matter, she always shows extraordinary concern.
In fact, since Tao's mother died, Geng Xingbing entered the Pingwang Mansion again, and there was no progress in the affairs of Xiaozao Village back then.
Zhu Yan said: "I had some suspicions, it was not only your family and the Tao family that made mistakes back then, but also the second room of our Zhenguo Mansion, it was the three families who were wrong, and with the accident of the Tao family, I feel more and more that our guess is right."
She sighed, "I actually went to test Xiaoyu, she was very scared, just an Anping Bo Mansion, so she didn't have a mother, she was worried that if she added the Zhenguo Mansion, their family would suffer, so she begged me not to check again, it just so happened that my father and eldest brother were busy during this time, and my grandmother ...... I didn't dare to tell her, so the matter was delayed, I didn't expect something to happen today, I hope it was just a false alarm. ”
No matter what happened to the Tao family siblings, whether they could find someone or not would only be known after the city gate opened tomorrow morning.
Under the escort of Zhu Yan, Geng Xingshuang returned to Bofu.
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhu Yan rushed to Bofu, and as soon as he saw Geng Xingshuang, he asked, "Wu Juan, are they back?"
Geng Xingshuang shook his head, "There is no news yet." ”
"Will they go directly to Mingshang Pavilion, or we will go to Mingshang Pavilion now."
As soon as Zhu Yan's words fell, someone came to report that Wu Juan was here.
"Let her in!"
Wu Juan came quickly, but she was the only one.
"Girl, I wish you!"
Wu Juan's body was covered with wind and dust, and her hair was still condensed with morning dew, like a layer of crystal white frost.
"Why are you alone? Didn't find the fish? Still is...... What happened? ”
Zhu Yan asked hurriedly.
"I found it, Miss Tao is injured, and now she is in Yannian Hall, Miss Xu is treating her, do you want to go and see it?"
"Naturally, I want it!"
Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan spoke at the same time.
"Let's go now, on the way." Geng Xingshuang asked the painting curtain to go back and report to Ruan, and he took Jinbao and Wu Juan to Chaoxing Street together in Zhu Yan's carriage.
On the way, Wu Juan told Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan what happened last night.
"Sister Zhan left us a mark along the road, we followed the mark all the way, and always paid attention to whether there was any trace of Miss Tao on the road, but never found any abnormality, and followed the mark to the peach blossom forest at the foot of Mingshan Temple Mountain, Sister Zhan and Miss Tao's sister and brother were there, in addition to them, I also met Master Jiang, who saved Miss Tao."
"Master Jiang? Which Kang-sama? Zhu Yan asked, already searching for the ministers surnamed Jiang in his heart.
"It's Miss Jiang's brother, Mr. Jiang." Wu Juan said.
Geng Xingshuang reacted, "You mean Jiang Lianbu?" ”
"Yes, it's him, in fact, Miss Tao's sister and brother left after having lunch in the temple, but after going down the mountain, two men came out of the peach forest on the side of the road, grabbed them into the depths of the peach forest, gagged them with a cloth ball, tied them to the peach tree, and the two villains sat under the tree while guarding and drinking, and when it was about to get dark, they wanted to do such bad things to Miss Tao, but maybe because they were drunk, so their hands and feet were not very flexible, Miss Tao spit out the cloth stuffed in her mouth in the struggle, and shouted loudly, At that time, Master Jiang was passing by with his colleagues to arrest the fugitives, so he went into the peach forest to save Miss Tao, which was really a coincidence, otherwise Miss Tao would have ......."
Wu Juan said, showing a look of great luck.
"Isn't Lord Jiang a city gatekeeper? Still going to catch fugitives? ”
Geng Xingshuang was a little confused.
"Maybe I was transferred, and I was transferred to the government or county government."
Zhu Yan guessed.
Geng Xingshuang nodded, no longer dwelling on this question, "How are Miss Tao and her brother doing now?" Where did you stay last night? ”
"Miss Tao and Brother Tao are only skin injuries, but they were tied up for an afternoon yesterday, and then they experienced that incident, they were frightened, both sisters and brothers had a fever this morning, we borrowed a nearby farmhouse last night, and went into the city early this morning to find Miss Xu."
Along the way, Zhu Yan and Geng Xingshuang almost understood what the Tao family sisters and brothers experienced yesterday.
"What about the two scoundrels?" Geng Xingshuang asked.
"I was taken to Ningfeng County by Master Jiang's colleagues."
Geng Xingshuang nodded, "That's good, and then pay attention to the situation over there in some county offices." (End of chapter)
