Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 882 Arrangements

With the picture drawn by Yan Yuan, it can basically be determined that the lost Jade Buddha was stolen by someone and where it was placed.

Regarding Yan Yuan's family background, the Prince Dai had given them investigation materials before. Yan Yuan's wife was from an ordinary family, not a wealthy family, but from a well-to-do merchant family. Having taken a fancy to the woman's dowry, it can relieve the Yan family's urgent needs.

Unexpectedly, this Bao family was actually related to Tianxingjiao, and from Yan Yuan's statement, it can be judged that Bao Gui's status in Tianxingjiao should not be low, at least the kind who can keep his word, yes I don't know if the elder in the family is a member of Tianxingjiao, or he has joined for a long time and made a lot of contributions to Tianxingjiao.

"Young Master." Shen Cha looked at Yan Yuan, "Does Madam have the habit of paying homage to Buddha?"

"Yes." Yan Yuan nodded affirmatively, and pointed to the portrait, "There is a Buddhist altar at home, and it enshrines something similar to this one."

"sure?"

"Not very sure." Yan Yuan thought for a while, "I'm not very clear about these things. If you have any questions, you can go to your home and have a look."

Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Bai Meng exchanged glances with each other, nodded towards Yan Yuan, stood up at the same time, and left the small hall one after another.

Yan Yuan turned his head to look at their backs, with a hint of doubt on his face, wondering what strange things these people were doing again.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the door of the small hall, they ran into Ying Shisan who had come back from the dining room with a food box. Shen Cha asked him to pass the food box to Mei Lin, while Bai Meng grabbed Ying Shisan's wrist and asked him to Followed them and walked to the garden far away from the small hall, making sure that their voices would not be heard in the small hall, and several people stopped.

"What do you think..." Bai Meng raised her chin in the direction of the small hall, "How much of Yan Yuan's words are true or false? How much can you believe?"

"I think..." Shen Cha glanced at the small hall, "It's basically believable, it doesn't look like a fake, after all, he just came back from outside, and he didn't know that we were investigating the Jade Buddha and Tianxing Sect, so he is not very good at lying lie to us."

"Are you sure he really left Xijing? He really came back today...um, two hours ago?"

"It's basically certain." Shen Cha smiled at Bai Meng, drew a circle in the air with his hand, and said, "The moment he appeared at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, his whereabouts during this period have been found out."

"So fast?"

"Commander, how can you be negligent about the safety of the Duke and our boss?" Ying Shisan crossed his arms and said to Bai Meng, "Yan Yuan left Xijing more than a month ago. After being threatened by the acting prince that time, he ran away in a hurry the next morning, because that night, thugs from several underground casinos went to his house to make trouble. And the time he returned to Beijing was indeed two hours ago, We asked the guards at the gate of Xijing City, and the shadow on duty near the Duke's Mansion can also prove this point. This young master is also very interesting. After returning to Beijing, he went straight to the Duke's Mansion, at the gate of our house Squatting for a full two hours without even moving anywhere." He raised an eyebrow at Bai Meng, "The guards at the gate of the city belong to the Commander, if they neglect their duties, the Commander may burst into tears right?"

"Crying bitterly?" Bai Meng waved her hands, and said with a half-smile, "If they really neglected their duty, they should be the ones who should cry bitterly, not me. But how did Young Master Yan come back? Someone let him go Come back, or find a chance to run back by yourself?"

"Yes, that's a question we'll ask later." Shen Cha nodded, "Bao Gui probably wouldn't kill Yan Yuan because of Mrs. Yan's face, but in order to prevent him from sneaking out to inform the government, it should be the guard. It's very strict. Yan Yuan is a dandy with no power to restrain himself. It's not very likely that he will find a chance to escape by himself. In all likelihood, he was released secretly. It's just..."

"It's just that if he runs away, he will definitely startle Bao Gui and those under him. I don't know if he will evacuate the jade shop."

"I don't know." Shen Cha shook his head, "I've sent a letter to Liuzhou Mansion with a pigeon, and it depends on my luck whether I can catch him or not."

"Thirteen, everything is arranged?" Seeing Ying Shisan nodding, Shen Haolin looked at Bai Meng again, "Xiaobai, find someone to hold your token, and the Imperial Army and the Patrol Battalion will each send a group of people to take over the Yan Mansion. Enclosed, only allowed to enter and not allowed to exit. Also, keep the movement quiet so that the people inside don’t hear it.”

"Are you trying to catch a turtle?" Bai Meng took out a token from her waist and threw it directly to Ying Shisan, "You guys should have already set up secret whistles, right? Shisan, you take my token, Directly transfer two teams of imperial guards, put on civilian clothes, lay an ambush near the Yan Mansion, and then go to the patrol battalion to transfer another team to patrol the periphery."

"Commander, you are amazing!" Ying Shisan caught Bai Meng's token and put it in his arms safely, "How do you know that I arranged for Shadow to watch Yan Mansion?"

"It's just to get something to eat for the young master. Do you need to go there yourself? And it took such a long time." Bai Meng smiled, "So, we all want to go together, and we all feel that It is very likely that Bao Gui will come to Xijing with him."

"Moreover, that young master has a beast-like intuition and a very keen sense of danger." Shen Cha looked in the direction of the small hall, "We made arrangements just in case, but after listening to Yan Yuan's words, I feel that this arrangement is particularly timely and important.”

"Because he said that after returning to Xijing, he found that there is no place he can trust except the Duke's Mansion, right?" Seeing Shen Cha nodding, Bai Meng sighed, "He probably thought of his own Madam also pays tribute to the Buddha, and there is a similar Buddha statue at home, so I am very scared, even if I will be seen as a monster, I still have to squat at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, because it is safer than at home."

"Yes."

"Sure enough, it's a beast-like instinct. If Madam Yan hands him over to Bao Gui after returning home, wouldn't that mean he's been caught in the jaws of a sheep again?" Bai Meng stretched her waist, "Go ahead and ask, I'll go." It's already in the palace, Shisan will go with me to transfer people to the resident."

"Okay." Shen Haolin nodded, "Go back and talk to Xiao Jue, tell him that tomorrow we will definitely go to the mansion to arrest someone."

"Understood." Bai Meng nodded and snorted softly, "Just watch, this guy will definitely be so excited that he won't be able to sleep again tonight."

"Oh, don't say that you can't fall asleep because of excitement." Shen Haolin continued to complain, "Maybe I will ask you to come out secretly to watch the fun tomorrow!"
