Chapter 12: Missing
It was not early, and Qian Tan returned to the bedroom after dinner, carrying a lamp in his hand to light the candles in the house. It's not been peaceful recently, he is not down-to-earth, and he always feels that something big is going to happen in the capital. Before I got to the third branch, I heard that someone seemed to be coming at the main entrance, and I immediately held my breath and listened carefully for a while, and then I went to the door with the lamp to see.
"A thousand little officials, I was about to call you. ”
The subordinate at the door saw that Qiantan was coming, so he invited Qiantan over to listen to the words of the two. The two of them glanced at each other, and neither of them would say anything first, so Qian Tan led the more decently dressed one to the mansion first, and the other stayed where he was.
"The small one is on the palace of the king of Yongjun, and the trouble in the middle of the night is to invite the king of Sumire, and tomorrow the court will listen to the rain tower and the king of the county to continue the sentence of the previous tense. After speaking, he showed a piece of double-crested jade to prove his identity.
The jade is not fake, it is the birthday of the king of Yongjun in the year before the year, and the official family ordered the famous craftsman in the capital to pay a piece of jade carving, and the king of Yongjun is naturally often worn on the body, and now it is the king of Yongjun like a goldfish bag. Thinking about it, he said: "Contemptible Qiantan, I will definitely tell King Sumire the truth." He also found out a five-dollar handover, "Wangxian's family will report what he will report when he comes back, and he will say a word less." ”
The man nodded and took the hand. Then he changed to the one waiting outside.
"Your Excellency, the new prefect went to the east of the city with the head catcher of Kaifeng Mansion, and will come back to report when there is a rumor. ”
This is the informant of King Sumire's Mansion, Qian Tan nodded, turned around and went to the court to tell Zhao Kanchu about these two things together.
"Your Excellency, this is the place. ”
When he arrived at the narrow road on the slope, Sun Fu immediately told Song Xun.
Song Xun heard the sound and looked left and right, and found that there was a chariot not far away, and if you looked closely, you could see that the materials were very luxurious, and the luxurious ones were not commensurate with this dirt road.
Soon Sun Fu also noticed the chariot, followed Song Xun closer, and saw that it was the post man who was leading the car, and he stopped in place at this time and didn't know what he was waiting for.
When the post guard saw the two of them, he reacted quickly, and hurriedly greeted the ceremony and Song Xun and said: "Your Excellency has an extraordinary bearing, I think it is the prefect." ”
Song Xun knew that he was dressed in an ordinary way, and now that it was night, it was not easy to see that he was human, but with his bearing, he felt that there was a prefect in front of him.
Without further ado, he nodded and asked, "What are you doing here?"
The post guard glanced at Sun Fu, saw Sun Fu nodding lightly at him, and said: "Your Excellency, my post guard will never dare to make a mistake, so I can only escort the thief back to the museum, and then wait for the fate." ”
"What's the nearest decent family? Song Xun asked.
Sun Fu was already accustomed to Song Xun's preface and afterword, and continued: "I'll know when my subordinates check it out." ”
Song Xun bowed his head, "Just find a credible person and ask, don't make a big inspection and disturb the people." ”
Sun Fu found out the portal nearby, and Song Xun went to Chaoxiao Pavilion with the post guard.
The postman drove the carriage, followed by Song Xun who was driving the horse, the two arrived at the Chaoxiao Pavilion, Song Xun let enter from the side door, and the postman placed the carriage and invited Song Xun to enter from the west door, and the postman at the door took a few steps to the main hall to pass a sound, and the previous postman slowly led Song Xun to the main hall.
Yan Ningxiao and the steward had already stood at the door, and Yan Ningxiao greeted him with a smile from afar, "Governor Song didn't greet him earlier when he came, and he missed the welcome." ”
Song Xun followed politely: "The new one, there's nothing to talk about, just to ask some questions, I don't know if you are ......"
"The folk woman is the cook of the Chaoxiao Pavilion, Your Excellency went first to sit down and ask our steward, and I went to serve tea. After saying that, Yan Ningxiao retreated, and Song Xun went inside with the post guard and the steward to understand some of the situation at that time with the steward, and the steward wanted to avoid the piece of "silver ingot" sent by the steward, which was not complete.
After Yan Ningxiao retreated, he did not make tea himself, but ordered a post guard to prepare and wait. Since the two of them left, Yan Ningxiao changed her cronies at each door, and when she came to pass the word, she asked the post guard to drive the carriage away, and at this time she went to see that the carriage was gone, so she returned to the main hall with tea and listened to the words of the three people.
"According to what you say, those two people do have official seals?" Song Xun asked.
Yan Ningxiao handed over the tea, and when the steward saw that Yan Ningxiao was coming, he didn't want to listen to Song Xun's questioning alone, so he thought about leaving Yan Ningxiao behind, because he said: "Indeed, if she hadn't stopped those two people, otherwise I would have believed that piece of paper, and I almost missed a big thing." ”
"Have you ever had a fake document before?"
"No, it's a felony. ”
"How did you stop the two of them?" Song Xun turned his gaze to Yan Ningxiao.
The steward breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Ningxiao brushed up a strand of broken hair on her forehead, looking forward to her eyes like silk, there was something else to do, Song Xun moved her eyes, Yan Ningxiao smiled lightly: "Didn't something happen in the capital, don't you dare to let people out indiscriminately." ”
Song Xun said with a cold face: "That's interesting, since there has never been a fake document, how dare you stop such a precious chariot." ”
The smile on the corner of Yan Ningxiao's mouth stopped suddenly.
"Is the prince going?" asked Qiantan.
Listening to Yulou is a place where there are many people, Zhao Kanchu has never been to it before, but it is very common for Su Rili to have a simple banquet in that place, and now Zhao Huai invited, Zhao Kanchu has nothing to refuse, although Zhao Huai's move is really not simple, he still nodded first and let Qiantan reply.
"Another person came to report that Song Xun had gone to the east of the city with Sun Fu. I have told the people in the county king's mansion not to talk too much, and I should not leak out the informant who reported it. ”
"Good. Zhao Kanchu praised.
Chitan stepped back and replied.
After the people left, Qiantan walked back while thinking about Song Xun and Zhao Huai, went to the bedroom and lit the candle, and then lit three more.
Before Zhao Kanchu's case, Zhao Kanchu was reading the file in his hand, and when he saw Qiantan coming, he was silent, so Qiantan asked, "I don't know what the prince means by calling me?"
"You think, Zhao Huai's mind is good or bad. ”
"The prince is a high-ranking king, but earlier it was the king of Yongjun who helped the official's family to win the world, how can the king of Yongjun look at the prince pleasing to the eye?"
Zhao Kanchu's eyes froze for a moment, "It's just a fame, if he wants to become a big thing, he shouldn't care about it." ”
Qian Tan frowned and nodded in disagreement.
"However," Zhao Kanchu said again: "Zhao Huai doesn't have any strategy, who is behind him." ”
"In the next opinion, it should not be the weighted ones. ”
"Today, you said that the matter of the senior bachelor may be the meaning of the official family, but it is somewhat credible, I always vaguely feel that this matter is related to Zhao Huai, and even feel that he may want to win me over, even if the contacts are close, it is just a solidified brotherhood. ”
"The court is in chaos now, it is time for someone to be stabbed, the prince has avoided this limelight, and the king of Yongjun will naturally be defeated. ”
Zhao Kanchu got up and said to Qiantan: "Come with me tomorrow to listen to the rain building." ”
"Yes. ”
"Let's go down. ”
Sun Fu asked out of the rich and noble families near the east of the city, which was nothing more than the mansion of a high bachelor, the mansion of Shang Jia Lin Zhongyan and the mansion of Taichang Zhengqing Xu Xiang, there were many decent people, and he wanted to come to the prefect to check the origin of the two people, if he had already told him that the two people were from the west of the city, would he have made this trip less. Thinking about it, he pulled the reins hard and went to the Chaoxiao Pavilion.
When entering the main hall, Song Xun stared at Yan Ningxiao intently, Yan Ningxiao lowered his head slightly, his smile was already a little uncomfortable, and the steward was sipping tea on the side, looking like he didn't want to mix.
Yan Ningxiao said: "Governor Song looked at the women like this, and he didn't think of anything good in his heart. ”
"Tell me why?" Song Xun asked.
Sun Fu was dumbfounded, that woman should be much older than the Song Governor's Mansion, but he didn't expect the Song Governor's Mansion to be so good...... Standing at the door for a while, I don't know where to go or what to do.
Song Xun looked at Sun Fu, who looked demented at the door, as if he had seen a ghost, Sun Fu was already tall, standing in front of the door very eye-catching, the three of them looked over, and Sun Fucai walked over with a complicated expression.
"The subordinates are ashamed and disturb your interest. ”
Song Xun still felt that Sun Fu was very weird, but the important thing at the moment was to ask Yan Ningxiao, so he said casually: "It's okay." ”
Yan Ningxiao seemed to understand, and looked at Sun Fu with a smile, but how dare Sun Fu look at her, he attached it to Song Xun's ear and said what he had investigated, and then went out to wait.
Song Xun pretended to be confident and said: "Sun Fu has found out that the carriage was from the Lin Mansion, and now as long as the carriage is compared with the carriage of the Lin Mansion, it is ironclad evidence." ”
has been in Gui Bianqi for many years, Yan Ningxiao can not change his face now, although his heart sank, he still smiled: "Then congratulations to the Song Governor." ”
Song Xun saw that she was indifferent, most of the doubts in his heart were dispelled, and the affairs of the post house were also clarified, so he got up to go back.
"I'll take the carriage with me. Song Xun said.
Yan Ningxiao pretended to ask the steward, and while he was worried, he was worried, good manners, what are these people doing in my post house.
At this time, the post guard sent out by Yan Ningxiao came back and stepped forward to report: "Oh no, the carriage is gone, and the post guard who is watching has also fainted." ”
Song Xun frowned and looked at Yan Ningxiao again, Yan Ningxiao panicked: "But those two thieves are back?"
The postman replied, "When the little one goes, there will be no more." ”
Yan Ningxiao looked at Song Xun's knife-like gaze and wept: "The people have been thinking about helping the government from the beginning, and they are careful not to let people go, but now they are in trouble, if the prefect is so suspicious of me, but he tells us how to do things for the government in the future." ”
Song Xun really has no evidence now, and it is a time when he can't lose the hearts of the people, so he can't press Yan Ningxiao back to the house without authorization, so he has to give up first.
Sun Fu saw Yan Ningxiao crying, and arranged a lot of pictures in his heart, and the misunderstanding was deeper, and he sighed very much.
The two returned to Kaifeng Mansion with their own doubts.
