Chapter 83: Eating Together, the Clue Comes Again
"She is the only disciple of the divine doctor Liu Xiuzhu and Yin Xiweak who still exist in the world." Wen Baolin said mysteriously, "However, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that she and Master Xie have already given birth to a child. ”
Xie Xun said slowly: "These news have long been known to everyone, do you still need to talk about it?" ”
"These news are well known, but ......" Wen Baolin wanted to sell a pass, seeing that Chen Anning and Xie Xun were not fooled, so he had to continue, "Do you know why Lord Xie is so crazy to arrest Song Fu's comrades?" ”
Chen Anning's eyes flickered vaguely twice, and then asked cooperatively, "Why?" ”
Wen Baolin came over again, "It is said that the child born to Master Xie and Miss Chen Er is missing, and the reason for the disappearance is related to Song Fu!" ”
Chen Anning and Xie Xun glanced at each other.
After that, both of them looked at Wen Baolin.
Wen Baolin thought that he had pinched the two of them, and couldn't help but say proudly: "How about it, do you want to eat and drink tea together?" ”
Chen Anning raised one side of his eyebrows: "You have a treat?" ”
Wen Baolin said generously: "I'm in for a treat." ”
Chen Anning reluctantly said: "Okay, for the sake of your hospitality, I'll give you a chance to show off." ”
Wen Baolin: ......
In order to dig out their true identities, he endures!
Asking people who are looking for pleasure in Chunmanlou to record confessions is just a formality, and its purpose is nothing more than to paralyze the enemy and make the enemy mistakenly think that their main purpose is to find Zhao Ying.
After routinely answering whether they knew Song Fu and whether they had any dealings; the frequency of coming to the spring full building, and the orchid who is often taken care of; whether you know Miss Chen Er and whether you have any dealings; Whether you have been to Huachun Pavilion, whether you know that Huachun Pavilion has a cave and the whereabouts of Miss Zhao Er on the day of her disappearance, and who can testify, after learning that they were going to follow Wen Baolin to eat, Xu Zan took out a silver ticket from his waist and stuffed it into Xie Xun's hand, and explained in the style of an eldest brother: "Go, take care of A-Ning, and go home early after eating." ”
"Fifth Prince Xu is polite," Wen Baolin said very enthusiastically when he saw this scene, "Although the junior brother doesn't have a few silver, he still has the money to invite the two brothers to dinner." ”
When Xu Zan followed Xie Xun to investigate the case, he was mainly responsible for visiting and investigating this area. To do this, the main thing is to have one more friend and one more road. Seeing that Wen Baolin rushed to make friends, Xie Xun and Chen Anning did not object, and he naturally had no reason to refuse.
patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and said very kindly: "My two younger brothers are coming to the capital for the first time, and I bother you to take care of them more." By the way, what's your name? ”
Wen Baolin was flattered and said: "Fifth Prince Xu is polite, it is an honor for the junior brother to take care of them." My name is Wen Baolin, the Wen of the Four Treasures of the Study, the Treasure of the Four Treasures of the Study, and the Forest of the Wood Show in the Forest. Xu Wugongzi calls me Baolin, but Alin can do it. ”
"It turned out to be Brother Baolin," Xu Zan patted him on the shoulder again, "I still have some official business to do, so the two of them will trouble you to take care of it." ”
"Okay, okay, Xu Wugongzi is slowly busy, and I will retire first, little brother." After Wen Baolin waved his hand, he took Chen Anning and Xie Xun out of Xishi and went to Shuiyunjian, the largest restaurant in Liquanfang.
He didn't want to break the bank.
It was completely for the sake of befriending Xu Zan that he was bleeding so heavily.
Order your signature dish and take a seat in the private room.
After Xiao Er separated the tea and withdrew, Wen Baolin spoke, "Taste it, this is Yangxian tea." Among the restaurants in the entire capital, there are only water and clouds. ”
Chen Anning took a sip, and after saying that the tea was not as good as the tea of the Xu Guogong Mansion, he urged him: "You can start your trickery." ”
Xie Xun quietly hooked the corners of his mouth.
"Little brother is really good at laughing," Wen Baolin said disapprehantly, "All my information can stand up to verification, but it's not a show." ”
Xie Xun put down his teacup, "Then tell me where you got this news." ”
"I'm not afraid to be honest with you," Wen Baolin deliberately played off after drinking the tea in his cup in one gulp, "Do you know why I frequent Yanchun Tower?" ”
Chen Anning's eyes moved slightly, "There are many people, so it's convenient to inquire about the news?" ”
"The little brother is really smart!" Wen Baolin praised, "Where in the world is the most extensive and most sourced? If the land of fireworks is second, then no one dares to call it first! Therefore, I often visit not only Yanchun Tower, but also all the fireworks places such as West Market, East Market, and Pingkang Fang, which are places where I often set foot. ”
"Of course, even if there are places like Pingkangfang Shangqu, the prostitutes there are elegant and well-behaved, more versatile than many young ladies from powerful families, and they earn a reassuring amount of money, so even if you spend more money, it is difficult to get any useful information out of their mouths."
Chen Anning questioned: "How can you be sure that your news is true?" ”
Wen Baolin was tricked again, "You don't understand this, do you?" The Land of Fireworks was just the first step in my quest for news! As for the second step, there are countless people who come in and out of the families of the major magnates every day, or buy vegetables, or buy snacks, or buy gold and silver jewelry, etc., as long as you spend a little patience and a little bit of broken silver, you will know whether the news is true or false. ”
"The disappearance of the child born to Master Xie and Miss Chen Er in Dali Temple," Xie Xun said lightly, "Where did you inquire about it?" ”
"Well," Wen Baolin's eyes rolled around twice, and then hooked his hand towards the two of them. Seeing that the two of them were sitting still, they had to take the initiative to pull over the chair and get closer to the two of them before they said in a suppressed voice, "Since you are the brothers of Xu Wugongzi, you should have heard him say that the disappearance of young boys and girls has not been solved so far, right?" ”
Chen Anning and Xie Xun looked at him silently.
Wen Baolin continued: "Do you know where the missing boys and girls are? ”
Xie Xun raised his eyebrows slightly: "You know? ”
Wen Baolin nodded, "Don't say it, I really know." ”
Xie Xun sneered twice, "The case that Dali Temple can't find out, can you know?" ”
Wen Baolin said seriously: "Whether you believe it or not, anyway, I'll tell you so, not only do I know, but I have also been to the place where they are held." Although, I went with someone else, and when I went, I was blindfolded and blindfolded, but with my familiarity with the capital and my subsequent exploration, that place is not far from ten in Hepingfang. ”
Xie Xun and Chen Anning leaned on the back of the chair together, quietly watching him without speaking.
"I know you suspect that I am innocent, why are you telling you this." Wen Baolin said calmly, "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I just want to make friends with Xu Wugongzi, and then climb up to Lord Xie through Xu Wugongzi, and then find an errand under Master Xie." ”
Xie Xun said calmly: "If you want to get an errand with Lord Xie, you can use this news to trade." With the importance he attaches to this case, he will definitely not refuse you. ”
Wen Baolin gritted his teeth and said as if he had made up his mind: "It's not that I don't want to, but I don't dare!" ”
"In mid-February, not long after Lord Xie took over the case of the disappearance of young boys and girls, my father found a clue when he was guarding the city gate."
"I forgot to mention that my father used to be the captain of the city gate."
"On the day I found the clue, my father was on duty."
"It was an ox cart with freshly cut firewood piled on it. The ox cart had passed through the city gate, and when my father had not turned back, he saw what appeared to be a human hand in the pile of firewood. However, before my father could go forward to check on him, the city gate general forcibly called my father away. ”
"Within a few days of this, my father was demoted to the rank of a lowly soldier for a trivial matter."
Such trivial matters happen every once in a while, and it is impossible to become a reason for being degraded. My father couldn't figure it out, so he asked me to help me think about it. I couldn't figure it out, so I could only guess that it might be related to my father's discovery a few days ago, so I started a secret investigation. ”
