Chapter 78: Disaster from the Sky
Nangong Junzhe returned to the firewood and straw stack and didn't see Lord Liu, there was only a note left in the place where Lord Liu was hiding, and the note read: "Lord Liu, we took it, if you want Lord Liu to be safe and sound, just wait honestly in the Duwei Mansion, and we will put forward the corresponding conditions in three days." I forgot to tell you, your niece's little appearance is still quite cute, hahaha...... Three days later, when Shen Shi, pay attention to the lantern at the entrance of the Duwei Mansion. ”
Nangong Junzhe's heart was full of remorse, he hated why he chased him so far, knowing that this person was coming for Lord Liu, and he hadn't protected him yet, he looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, and went to Duwei Mansion to find Yin Xuesong and they found a way.
Entering the Duwei Mansion, several people greeted Nangong Junzhe warmly, but he ignored these people and walked straight to Yin Xuesong's room. These people still thought that Nangong Junzhe had something on his mind, so they didn't hear him talk, they didn't know that a catastrophe had befallen Duwei Mansion.
Without knocking on the door, he directly pushed open the door of Yin Xuesong's study, and Yin Xuesong was chatting with Xiao Lie, talking about Peacock Ridge. Xiao Lie said: "When Liu Jiuri's injury recovers, I will handle his marriage with Miss Fang, so as not to make the girl wait in a hurry." Yin Xuesong was very much in agreement, thinking about what their wedding should be, and the door of the study was pushed open by Nangong Junzhe.
Xiao Lie waved his hand at him with a smile on his face and said: "Who should I be so unruly, the relationship is your big brother Nangong, why are you so idle today, come to me to play with Senior Brother Yin? We are studying the marriage between Miss Fang and Master Liu, it just so happens that you are here, you are a person who has come over, help us staff officers, see if we can handle it like this, after all, it is different from when you married your sister-in-law, this time after all, it is an old husband and a young wife, how can you be more rigorous." After speaking, Yin Xuesong pulled Xiao Lie's arm and made a look, which meant that Nangong Junzhe's expression was a little wrong, and asked him to ask if there was something wrong.
Xiao Lie understood, closed the door, walked in front of Nangong Junzhe, and hammered him on the shoulder: "Brother Nangong, if something happens, you just say it directly, what else do we have to hide, did you quarrel with your sister-in-law? Or did you raise a little daughter-in-law outside for your sister-in-law to know?" Before Xiao Lie finished speaking, Nangong Junzhe knelt down with a grunt and cried.
Seeing this, Yin Xuesong immediately got up from his seat, trotted to the front of Nangong Junzhe, stretched out his hands to help him up, but after a few strokes, he didn't pick him up, so he knelt down and pressed his hands on his shoulders and asked, "What happened to Brother Nangong?" A thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and he continued to ask with a nervous expression: "Didn't Lord Liu go to you? What did you say? Is there something that makes you particularly embarrassed by His Majesty the Emperor, is there something that makes you particularly embarrassed, is it to let you do something to us?" If that's the case, you don't have to be embarrassed, Brother Nangong, I'll go back to the Jinyi Guard Yamen with you. You can rest assured that with Lord Liu in the middle of us, I will definitely be fine?"
Nangong Junzhe's eyes were swollen when he was crying, his face was full of snot and tears, and he said to Yin Xuesong while crying: "Lord Liu, Lord Liu, he ......"
Xiao Lie couldn't wait any longer, grabbed Nangong Junzhe's collar, pulled him up from the ground, and said with a glare: "Could it be that the emperor of the Zhu family, Lao'er, really wants to take our brother's life?"
Yin Xuesong stepped forward to stop: "Xiao Lie, don't be unreasonable to Brother Nangong, let Brother Nangong speak clearly first." ”
Nangong Junzhe looked at the two of them with annoyance: "Lord Liu lost it." ”
"What?" Yin Xuesong and Xiao Lie didn't understand what they meant. Nangong Junzhe told everything that had just happened, and hurriedly called Xing Hao and asked him to call all the officials of the Duwei Mansion, and let them each bring a team of people to search from Chengli to the outside of the city. Xiao Lie was also anxious to burn his chest, and said to Xing Hao after stabilizing his mind a little: "In addition to these, transfer 4,000 guards to block the four city gates and the roadblocks outside the city, and let people guard the surrounding city walls tightly, everyone is only allowed to enter and not go out, if there is a hard intruder, it will be captured immediately, and those who resist can be killed on the spot." When did you find Lord Liu, and when will you be able to open the road. ”
Xing Hao received the order and immediately went to arrange this matter. Xiao Lie said to Yin Xuesong and the others: "You don't have to be so anxious first, Lord Liu's safety can still be guaranteed now, they just want to use Lord Liu to ask for benefits from us, so Lord Liu is absolutely safe now." Our top priority now is to find out who is behind this matter?"
"Could it be that someone from Xiaoyao Village did it?" Yin Xuesong asked.
"I don't know, you can call Zuo Tianming back with Liaison Butterfly now, let's ask about the situation in Xiaoyaozhuang in detail, there are still three days left, at least before they put forward the conditions, we can have a little information first, and we can make countermeasures to solve it in time." ”
After the contact butterfly was issued, after a tea time, Zuo Tianming used the Earth Spirit Bead to return to the Duwei Mansion, and asked when he entered the door: "Why are you calling me back in such a hurry?"
Xiao Lie pulled Zuo Tianming over and asked him to sit down: "The matter is more complicated, I'm talking to you later, you have to tell the three of us in detail about the situation in Xiaoyaozhuang now." ”
Zuo Tianming took out a small notebook from his arms, which remembered what happened every day in Xiaoyaozhuang. Zuo Tianming flipped through it and said to them: "Xiaoyaozhuang is very calm, nothing matters, that is, Liao Wenshan is tired of being with Gu Lingfeng and Mingde Zen Master every day, and I don't know what to talk about." They didn't say they would go home to see, so they lived in Xiaoyaozhuang. The three of them have a fixed time, they will go to a teahouse called Tingfeng Pavilion to listen to books and drink tea, every day before the time comes, and return at three o'clock, every day. I also specially called a clever brother to listen to the second junior of Fengge's shop, just to spy on the three of them. But the three of them really listened to the gentleman there, and they didn't communicate a word. Moreover, the brother who made up as a vegetable farmer reported to me that he went to Xiaoyaozhuang every day to deliver vegetables, and the initial amount was enough for everyone to eat. Zuo Tianming turned the book back a few more pages: "Oh yes, there is one more thing, it just happened the day before yesterday." They hired a group of workers, saying that Xiaoyaozhuang was going to build a two-story house, but they didn't find out what it was for. There is only so much useful information, and then there are some trivial things, although we also have a record of small things, but there is no need to report them. He closed the book, picked up the teacup, and said, "I'm done, why did you call me back? I'm still hungry, the brothers have just stewed the goose, if there is nothing serious, I'll go back first." It's my turn to be on duty tonight, and I'll have to change the guard after dinner. ”
Xiao Lie said solemnly to Zuo Tianming: "Lord Liu was kidnapped by unknown people. ”
When Zuo Tianming heard this, he squirted out the tea that had been drunk in his mouth, coughed and said in disbelief: "Who? Who did you just say was robbed?"
Xiao Lie looked at him and said, "You heard it right. ”
"So have you found out who did it?"
"No clue at all. Xiao Lie simply said the matter again, and Zuo Tianming was sweating all over when he heard it. Zuo Tianming said: "Do you suspect that Xiaoyaozhuang did this?"
"That's why I called you back in such a hurry. But judging from what you just said, there is no indication at all that can be directed at them, who else can hold a grudge against us and take revenge in this way?" Xiao Lie frowned and walked back and forth in the room: "It seems that we can only wait until three days later to see what kind of conditions they will come up with to deal with us." ”
Nangong Junzhe's eyes were blank, his voice had no strength at all, and he obviously hadn't come out of the extreme self-blame, and said to the three of them: "I will be responsible for this matter to the end, the court will blame it, and I will bear it alone, and I will definitely not drag you down." ”
"You fart!" Xiao Lie pointed at Nangong Junzhe and roared: "What time is it now, what are you thinking about, what did we say at the beginning, brothers go to life and death together, no matter what happens, everyone has to bear it together." Are you going to push us into the ranks of unkindness and injustice?"
"Otherwise, what should I do, Lord Liu doesn't know if he is dead or alive now, the enemy is in the shadows as if the world has evaporated, and there has been no movement at all for so long. The court will soon find out about this, and I can't help but think so. ”
"Didn't I already say it, Lord Liu is absolutely safe in their hands now, and they still want to use Lord Liu to ask us for benefits, as long as it is time to say that it is good and sees their conditions, you can speculate who this matter has to do with it. It's no problem for us to think of countermeasures at that time, not to mention, now that the whole city is under martial law, not even a fly can fly out of Hecheng. This is definitely not done alone, he must have accomplices, under the strict defense of the Du Wei army, it is impossible for them to show their feet. Xiao Lie comforted Nangong Junzhe in an extremely firm tone.
Xiao Lie said to Zuo Tianming again: "Tianming, you go back now, pick five shrewd brothers from the Zhenfu Division, send more people, and you will show them to death for me in all directions." ”
Zuo Tianming took the order and turned around and left the room, Yin Xuesong walked behind Xiao Lie: "This person knows us now, he must know us very well, and I suspect that Zuo Tianming and they have been exposed, didn't you think of this?"
"How could I not have thought of this. ”
"Then you have to send more people, isn't this equivalent to sending your brothers to death?"
"If someone from Xiaoyaozhuang did it, let's put on a big show for him. I will leave them dead without a place to bury. ”
