Chapter 133: The Case Rises Again
Lin Chunxi was shocked after hearing this, it turned out that everything that happened to him, this prince Li Shanyuan actually knew everything, so did he know who he went to see last night, at this time, tell himself whether these are concerned, or to warn himself not to act rashly in the capital, at this time Lin Chunxi had many questions in his heart, but his face did not show it, and he still answered calmly. Li Shanyuan did not continue to ask, and after the two answered a few questions, Li Shanyuan then changed the conversation and talked about the child who went missing last night.
Li Shanyuan did not hide anything, told Lin Chunxi all about last night, it turned out that the reporter woke up this morning and found that the child had been lost, according to them, the child slept very peacefully last night, nothing unusual, but after waking up in the morning, the person was gone, at first I thought that the child went out to play in the morning, and did not care too much, but after a long time, the child's parents found that the situation was wrong, so they contacted the construction site to search together, or there was no result, and then reported to the official, because the time of the child's disappearance in the city in recent days, so the Yamen of the Criminal Department was very concerned about this kind of situation, and understood and began to investigate, reported all the things that happened last night in the city to the prince's mansion in detail, including Lin Chunxi and others fighting in the alley. Li Shanyuan felt that something was wrong with the matter, and he was afraid that there was a connection, so he sent someone to find Lin Chunxi in a hurry.
Lin Chunxi just said that he would go to the household department in the morning to investigate the household registration information, because he had told Li Shanyuan before that someone might be looking for a child who was suitable for the five elements attributes, so he asked for some information, but he didn't tell Li Shanyuan some gossip about him that he knew, but Li Shanyuan didn't seem to have any intention of asking more.
Then Li Shanyuan told Lin Chunxi an important clue, he has sent someone to secretly investigate, the missing child's five elements attribute is soil, because the theory of the five elements is still highly confidential, because there is no too detailed evidence, so in order to avoid causing greater panic, so there is no clear propaganda to the people in the capital, but the prince's mansion has issued a secret order, and it is necessary to attach great importance to such incidents, so when someone found out that the five elements attribute of the lost child, they immediately reported it, Li Shanyuan felt that the matter was too coincidental, so he informed Lin Chunxi of this special situation。
After hearing this, Lin Chunxi also felt that it was not simple at this time, the construction site under the city wall was completely in line with the attributes of soil, and the five elements of this child belonged to the soil, and under the foreshadowing of a series of similar incidents, I am afraid that this child was very likely to be captured by someone who was secretly doing so. Li Shanyuan didn't want to alarm the power of the government, so he went to search on a large scale, especially when it involved the Five Elements, which was too illusory, but there was already a deep panic in the hearts of the people, so in order not to expand the impact of this matter, Li Shanyuan hoped that Lin Chunxi and them would secretly investigate.
Lin Chunxi didn't dare to slack off, and hurried to the inn after receiving the order, preparing to contact several other people to investigate the accident site together. After Lin Chunxi left, a person walked in from outside the study of the prince's mansion, that person turned out to be the household official that Lin Chunxi had seen today, and it was he who told Lin Chunxi about the crown prince Li Shanyuan and the seventeenth prince and the queen The person who only saw things, Li Shanyuan turned his back to the visitor, looked at the garden outside the window, and said coldly, "Have you already told him?"
The man didn't dare to raise his head, and knelt down and replied to Li Shanyuan, "According to your instructions, I have already told him everything, and he also deliberately went back to inquire about the birth date of the seventeenth prince", Li Shanyuan nodded after hearing this, "Don't show any traces, do a good job."
The man asked again, "I don't know why the crown prince asked the villain to tell him about these things, this is the inside information of our Wu royal family."
After Li Shanyuan heard this, he frowned and did not answer, but a trace of cruel coldness flashed in his eyes, and the man saw that Li Shanyuan did not answer, and immediately realized his gaffe, the crown prince told him to do what he did, and asked what he was doing, he regretted his mouth, so he hurriedly said, "The villain knows his mistakes, the villain is talkative, please punish the crown prince, the villain will not dare in the future", and then kowtowed again and again like pounding garlic.
Li Shanyuan didn't pay attention to him, just waved his hand, and then returned to the bookcase to continue to review the chapter, the man quickly stood up with interest, and after making a big salute, he withdrew from Li Shanyuan's study, and hurriedly trotted all the way away.
After seeing the man leave the study, the housekeeper walked in, stood beside Li Shanyuan with his hands down, and waited for the order without saying a word.
After the housekeeper gave the order, he saluted Li Shanyuan, Li Shanyuan didn't say anything, the housekeeper then withdrew from the study, as if nothing had happened, but no one knew, even Lin Chunxi didn't pay attention to it anymore, this official disappeared in the capital, no one ever saw him again, the records of the household department only wrote that this person asked for leave to return to his ancestral home to visit the old people in the clan, but since then there has been no news, disappeared cleanly, as if he had never appeared in the capital。
Lin Chunxi returned to the inn and took Xue Lingheng, Chen Yiyao, Lu Ling and Luo Yifei, together rushed to the construction site under the imperial city, in the distance to change to a very far place can be seen, erected scaffolding, the construction site of the violent growth, a tense and orderly scene, the imperial city since the establishment of the Wu State, has a history of more than 200 years, with years of disrepair, the Wu royal family has always been thrifty, so the repair of the imperial city is a little negligent, a few days ago there were a few rainstorms, a corner of the city wall has some traces of damage, because the imperial city is a country where the dignity is, simple to simple, but if it is broken, it is a little unsightly, the Ministry of Engineering hurriedly organized manpower to repair the damaged city wallThese craftsmen were urgently transferred from outside the city, so that they could be completed, so a large number of people were invested.
Lin Chunxi and the others went straight to the missing family to inquire about the situation, and at the same time asked others to go around the construction site to find relevant clues, Lin Chunxi asked what happened, and felt that the situation was similar to what Li Shanyuan told him, and there was no special news yet, but Luo Yifei found some unusual clues.
