Yao Shaoyin asked, "The servants who live outside have also been checked?" ”

Manager Cao immediately said: "There are regulations in our house, as long as you work in the house, you must live in the house, you need to register when you go out or take leave, and some people who want to become biological children when they are old will let them go to Zhuangzi, if they have children and want to come back to the house to do things, they must abide by the rules of the house." ”

After all, the servants are also ordinary people, and if they are allowed to go outside, they don't know how many incidents will breed, and it will not be good to affect the masters.

It's best to keep them all in the house.

Many large families in Xijing City have the same treatment method.

Xu Jing looked at Yao Shaoyin and said, "The person from the Fangcai Mansion said that they had already asked Xu Sanniang, and Xu Sanniang was very sure that she didn't reveal too many things when she was in the Xu family, right?" ”

Yao Shaoyin nodded, "Xu Sanniang said that she had this idea, is it...... Seven days ago, the two children and Xu Niangzi had a conflict on the street, in the past seven days, she has only been back to the Xu family twice, and the only time she mentioned that the plan was only four days ago, they told Xu Xiaolangjun that after Xu Langjun and Xu Niangzi often went to Baoyue Pavilion during this time, she and Tan Yun discussed two sentences about this plan in the remote part of the courtyard.

But they were very cautious, and before they spoke, they confirmed that no one around them was speaking.

Outside the Wang family and the Xu family, they didn't talk about it at all.

The only people who knew about her plan were Tan Yun and the two guards who were now missing. ”

"Xu Sanniang doesn't need to lie now, if it's like she said, they confirmed in advance that no one around them spoke about it, how did the kidnapper find out?"

Xu Jing groaned, and suddenly raised the corners of her eyebrows, "There are only two possibilities I can think of, first, the kidnappers didn't know what they wanted to do at first, but they only noticed this matter when they saw that they were behaving differently and had been secretly observing." ”

Xiao Yi on the side glanced at her and said, "A person will not pay close attention to another person for no reason, not to mention the situation you mentioned, that person is not only secretly observing, but more likely to follow and monitor Xu Sanniang and them, so that they will know where they are hiding those two children." ”

Xu Jing nodded and said, "Yes, according to Xu Sanniang, that location was found by Tan Yun, but she has seen it with her own eyes." Whether that person is following Xu Sanniang or someone close to Xu Sanniang, they can know that location. And as Xiao Shilang said, if it is just because of some small abnormalities, it is not enough for one person to follow and spy on another person like this, so the kidnappers are likely to ...... usually observes Xu Sanniang in secret. ”

Yao Shaoyin's heart jumped, "What does Xu Niangzi mean that the kidnappers originally had ill intentions towards Xu Sanniang?!" ”

Xu Jing said: "I don't rule out this possibility, the kidnappers may have wanted something from Xu Sanniang for a long time, or what to do to her......"

Yao Shaoyin frowned, "I also have an idea just now, could it be that those two guards or Tan Yun accidentally leaked some news, or they betrayed Xu Sanniang......"

After all, they are the ones who know Xu Sanniang's plan best.

"This kidnapping case involves the sister-in-law of the Wang family, if it is discovered, the consequences are not affordable for ordinary people, then the two guards and Tan Yun should not talk about it everywhere, if they are such unreliable people, Xu Sanniang will not let them participate in this plan.

But just in case, you can send someone to check on the people around these three people.

As for saying that they betrayed Xu Sanniang...... This possibility cannot be ruled out, and when the officials who searched the mountain return, we may be able to know better what happened in that cabin. ”

When they went to the hut, it was already dark, and they could see very little by the torches.

Later, they were in a hurry to go to the Xu family and the Wang family to investigate, so Jiang Shaobai left a small team of officials to continue the search in Qiulin Mountain.

Xu Jing said: "I remember Yao Shaoyin said that there was a government officer in Xijing Mansion who was very good at footprint analysis, and the kidnappers were bloody when they fought with the guards at the door, leaving some bloody footprints on the ground. ”

However, even if it is found that there was a third person at that time, it cannot be said that those three people are not suspected of betrayal.

He may have teamed up with someone from outside and deliberately pretended to be a victim and was taken away to clear his suspicions.

Again, in the process of investigating the case, any possibility cannot be ruled out, what they have to do is to find a way to prove that these possibilities are wrong, until they find a possibility that cannot be verified, that is, the truth.

Yao Shaoyin immediately said with some pride: "Yes, footprint analysis is the specialty of our government office's Fang Tou catcher, not only footprints, as long as the kidnappers leave even the slightest trace, he can find out."

In this way, the suspects are currently the two guards and Tan Yun, and the four people who are not currently in the Xu family. ”

As he spoke, Yao Shaoyin turned to Manager Cao, who was stunned for a moment, and said, "According to what you just said, three of those four people have now returned to their hometowns, where are their hometowns?" ”

Manager Cao hurriedly said: "Tao Niang's hometown is in a village called Liuye Village outside Xijing City, not far from here, about a little more than an hour to arrive."

Zhang Huwei's hometown is farther away, in Baoding County, Qingzhou, even if he takes a carriage to go there, it will take a whole day.

As for Steward Yang, his hometown is even farther away......"

As he spoke, he suddenly glanced at Xu Jing strangely, and said in a weird manner: "Speaking of which, the fourth lady is also very clear, after all, Steward Yang and Mrs. Xu are from the same place. ”

Xu Jing was slightly stunned, because she thought of a certain possibility, her eyes sank slightly, "The Yang steward you said is Yang Quanfu?" ”

Yang Quanfu, who used to take care of the original owner like a father and brother, but betrayed the Xu family and the original owner.

Manager Cao just wanted to gloat and raise the corners of his mouth, but suddenly felt a murderous aura.

That aura of slaughter clearly came from the handsome and majestic man standing beside Xu Jing, Manager Cao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "The fourth lady said...... That's right. ”

Yang Quanfu was also involved in this kidnapping case.

Xu Jing lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and said lightly: "Chief Manager Cao should call me Mrs. Xu, I am no longer the Xu family, and now I came here as an external staff officer of the Xijing Mansion to assist them in investigating the case." If Mr. Cao continues to talk about these things that have nothing to do with the case, it makes people wonder if he wants to obstruct the government's investigation of the case. ”

The woman's tone was obviously very flat, but Manager Cao's heart skipped a beat inexplicably, and he almost knelt down to prove his innocence, "It's nothing!" This is a matter of our Xiao Langjun's safety, villain...... How can a villain hinder the investigation of the case! ”

Xu Jing didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and said, "What about the rest of the Dou stewards?" He didn't go back to his hometown, and most likely he went to ......"

Before she could finish speaking, a clever little guy suddenly ran not far away and said, "Manager Cao! Steward Dou is back! ”

I saw a short, short, fat and very thick man following the little guy quickly, seeing this battle, his feet were so frightened that his feet were about to weaken, and before Xu Jing and them could ask anything, they hurriedly said: "Villain...... The villain went out in the afternoon, but the villain can swear that Xiao Langjun's kidnapping has absolutely nothing to do with the villain! ”

Yao Shaoyin stepped forward and said, "Why did you go out in the afternoon?" ”

Steward Dou was suddenly hesitant, Yao Shaoyin waited for a while, completely impatient, and said sharply: "At such a time, you dare to hide it, come here, bring Steward Dou back to the mansion, and interrogate ...... properly."

"No, no, no, the villain said! The villain said! ”

Steward Dou immediately fell to his knees with a puff and said in a panic: "Villain...... The villain went to Guixiang Courtyard in the afternoon, and the Huaiyu lady in Guixiang Courtyard can testify for the villain......"

Manager Cao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said angrily: "Huaiyu Lady is the top brand of Guixiang Academy!" Where did you get the money to find the Huaiyu lady! But you took your master's belongings in private?! ”

"Villain...... Villain ......"

"That's it! Drag him down first! Madame is not in the mood to care about these pickled things now! ”

Yao Shaoyin didn't even look at the Dou steward who was dragged down by crying, and called a servant and said, "Go to Guixiangyuan to verify his words." ”

Xu Jing turned to Mr. Cao and asked, "These four people, can they have disputes with Xu Sanniang on weekdays?" ”
