Exclusive golden branch

Chapter 442
"The Wang family has always attached great importance to this missing little daughter." Lin Yan said, thinking back to the time when the Wang family handed over the note, he couldn't help but sigh, "Chang'an City is said to come from all directions. Hundreds of years ago, the 'three-year-old The custom of "women will commit suicide if they are glanced at by men" has long been abolished. But in the early years, when I was handling cases, I still encountered such cases of missing women. At the end of the investigation, I killed Her own father is actually her own father, and the reason is that someone rescued him after falling into the water, which is an insult to the family. Compared with such seemingly glamorous but rigid and corrupt Chang'an dignitaries, the Wang family is considered enlightened."

It is a good thing for a young daughter to leave home alone for such a long time, but if there is anything, it is not surprising, the world is difficult and dangerous, and it is not easy for a weak woman to struggle in such a difficult and dangerous world.

The Wang family did not hesitate to sue the officials to find someone, because they had made up their minds that no matter what, as long as the person could come back, it would be fine.

"The whole Wang family really loves the girl of the Wang family." Lin Yan said, "After I handed over the note first, I made insinuations several times, until the end of the year, I suddenly didn't come to ask again."

"So, it is very likely that the Wang family already knew the whereabouts of the little daughter at that time, and maybe they were still dealing with the kidnapper in secret." Ji Chongyan said lightly.

Lin Yan nodded: he thought so too.

Ji Chongyan paused, and then said: "If I were the Wang family, I would do everything possible to make a deal with that person after knowing the whereabouts of my youngest daughter."

"So you can check to see what big moves the Wang family has around the New Year's Eve." Lin Yan said, after thinking for a while, he added, "Those girls who haven't known their names didn't report to the officials, so they probably know about it. If we search rashly like this, they may not be sure to respond. Instead, we can see if there are any young girls in the rich and powerful families who suddenly 'seriously ill' and disappear."

The daughters of these people disappeared but refused to report to the officials, so there must be something hidden in them.

Ji Chongyan nodded, and did not forget to tell Lin Yan: "That Zhou Fang in the Yamen prison is watching, don't let anyone have more contact with him."

This is without Ji Chongyan's reminder, Lin Yan just nodded, but Ji Chongyan's next words startled him: "This time we are going door-to-door to search for suspicious murderers, but we can also take this opportunity to investigate Miss Fang San and Mrs. Fang who are hiding in the city. Doctor Liu and two people."

No matter how well these two people hide, for ordinary people, as long as there are two more familiar faces around them, they must be suspicious suspects.

So now such a massive search for clues in Yancheng City is a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

"The yamen offers a reward of 300 taels for the people who provide clues, maybe someone will find out." Ji Chongyan said, and turned to the outsider, "I am going out for dinner with my grandfather today, so you can tell the kitchen that you don't need to prepare me for two." people's food."

Lin Yan waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly.

Isn't it great for a grandfather to come all the way to see his grandson?Well, that's pretty cool, at least his grandfather wouldn't have done it.Lin Yan smiled wryly, and shook his head: No one is watching him anymore, so stop thinking about it.

"Lin Shaoqing." Just as he turned around and was about to leave, a guard hurried over with a fat pigeon in his arms and said, "A carrier pigeon from the capital."

The ribbons on the feet of the pigeons are pigeons raised by Lin Shaoqing, unlike his family, the markings on the pigeons are very inconspicuous, and Lin Shaoqing's pigeons are the most conspicuous.

Such a conspicuous homing pigeon, it is difficult for it to fly through thousands of mountains and rivers, and it is not beaten down by the greedy ones on the way.

The pigeon with the ribbon was raised by Asu... Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat when he saw it, he hurriedly hugged the fat pigeon carefully, and turned to the front office in three steps at a time.

It looked like he would take a peek.The guard shook his head, thinking: They can't do such a thing.After delivering the pigeons, he was going to eat in the canteen of the yamen. The guard touched the grumbling stomach: after a busy morning, his chest was already hungry and his back was sticking to his back.

Just wandering to the dining hall, before even stepping in, Lin Shaoqing's voice, who had first carried the pigeon away for fear of being looked at by others, sounded behind him again.

"Master Chongyan Tongguo, did you say where you ate in the past?"

The guard turned around and looked back, only to see that Lin Yan, who had a calm expression just now, had a serious look on his face at this moment. He was holding the pigeon in his hand, and he asked, with a little invisible urgency in his tone: "They Where did I go to eat, I have something urgent to find Chongyan."

……

……

Yancheng is a small city, according to the temperament of the Duke, if he didn't think that his grandson still has business to do in the city, he might not be able to sit still and go out of the city to wander around the cities in the south of the Yangtze River.

Cakes and desserts in Gusu, moonlit nights at 24 bridges in Yangzhou, Longjing tea by the West Lake in Yuhang, Wei and Jin elegance at Wuyi Lane in Jinling, there are so many interesting places, but he can only stay here in Yancheng. Some people lack interest!
Although the Duke of the State is educated, he was born as a general. When he was young, he couldn't bear to sit in the school for a long time, let alone stay here for such a long time.

It's just these words that he can't say.A grandfather must be sensible, and don't cause trouble for his brother Yan, who still has important things to do in the city at this time!

I have already visited some special restaurants in the whole city of Yancheng, carrying the braised goods of Cai Ji Braised Food in the small alley, walking on the street, and An Guogong chatting with the same season Chongyan.

From the taste of stewed food is not bad, similar to the taste of the first stewed goods shop in Chang'an City, to the fact that the weather in Jiangnan Road is really wet and so on.

Of course, Ji Chongyan couldn't see these boring greetings: Grandpa might not be able to stay any longer.It's just that he has something important to do at this time, so he really can't accompany his grandfather out of the city.

and so……

"Grandfather, Yancheng is busy with things now, and I can't leave for a while." Ji Chongyan said, "Why don't I find someone to accompany you out of the city for an outing, is that okay?"

The proposal of going out for a city outing really touched his heart, and Duke An naturally didn't want to refuse, but he was a little concerned about the "person" who was looking for someone: after all, he was a candidate for a trip together, and if he found someone, he wouldn't be able to say anything If you go somewhere, it will be boring.

Thinking this way, An Guogong immediately asked: "The person you are looking for, who is this person referring to?"

Ji Chongyan thought for a while, and said: "I have a few guards who accompany me all the year round, Lu, Jueying, Chitu..."

Only these few candidates came out of Ji Chongyan's mouth, and An Guogong immediately twitched the corners of his mouth, waved his hands again and again and said: "These few are either three-shot and can't make a dull fart, or they have some brain problems. Travel with them, you Grandfather must shorten his life!"

"Your grandfather has no shortage of guards with high martial arts skills. You need someone who is interesting, knowledgeable, and able to talk." An Guogong paused, thought about it seriously, and said, "It's too much to mention one." After that, but at least half of people like Wangnianjiao can play together!"

Ji Chongyan fell silent when he heard the words: Interesting and knowledgeable, but also able to talk, it is much harder to find than martial arts masters who are pleasing to the eye.

Just thinking like this, the grandfather who was carrying the stewed food suddenly raised the hand holding the stewed food, and said happily: "I have found this candidate."

Ji Chongyan looked up instinctively: under the sunlight, the girl standing by the window was covered with a faint light and shadow, and she was looking here with a smile.

Miss Jiang Si... Ji Chongyan's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at the cheerful grandfather beside him, suddenly feeling that grandfather was a really good candidate.

Let my grandfather and Miss Jiang Si go on a trip to the south of the Yangtze River, and I think my grandfather will like her too.

Saluted Ji Chongyan and An Guogong through the window, and watched them enter the inn, Jiang Shaoyan turned to Xiangli who was lying on the table in a daze, and said: "Xiangli, we can leave the city now."

Xiangli was taken aback when she heard this, but before she could react, there was a knock on the door: Ji Chongyan and An Guogong came.

Hearing An Guogong's explanation of his intention, Jiang Shaoyan was not surprised: In the past few days, An Guogong walked back and forth from the street next to the inn. Once I went out empty-handed and walked around.If the dignified Lord Anguo had other things to do, why would he run around like this?
But this is a good thing for her, Jiang Shaoyan will naturally not refuse.

An Guogong, who couldn't stay any longer, hit it off with the girl, and less than an hour after meeting at the inn, the group left the city.

He left in such a hurry, it was already evening when Jiang Pingping hurriedly informed Miss Fang.

"She said that she is an ordinary frail woman and she has nothing to do. She likes to wander around the cities most of her daily life. The incident in the cave outside the city made her dare not run around alone with Xiao Wu. Now she can justifiably borrow a I am the happiest to go outing in various cities of Jiangnan Road with the guards of the Duke of the country, and to have someone who can talk to me." Jiang Pingping repeated what Jiang Shaoyan said before leaving.

Fang Zhiyao: "..."

What an ordinary frail woman!

She has never met a partner like this Fourth Miss Jiang: If you say that this Miss Jiang Fourth is amazing, she is really amazing, with a lot of tricks and excellent strategies. It can be said that she Fang Zhiyao has met in Jiangnan Road for so many years. It was the first woman who convinced her heart and soul.

This is a very reliable opponent, but although she is reliable in doing things, she suddenly leaves the city at this time, but it is really unpredictable, and her heart suddenly panics.

Fang Zhiyao paused, took a deep breath, and asked Jiang Pingping: "Has she always had such a sudden whim?"

Before Jiang Pingping could answer, Fang Zhiyao said again: "Have you seen the suspects who searched house to house in the city? Those two in the yamen are not easy to deal with. Although there is enough manpower at hand to search for suspicious suspects, such a big show It’s just to search for suspicious suspects, do you believe it?”

Jiang Pingping shook his head and said frankly: "I don't believe it. Those two should still want to take the opportunity to find Miss Fang San and Dr. Liu."

Fang Zhiyao took another deep breath when she heard the words, tried her best to calm down and said, "She has indeed told me about the third sister and Dr. Liu, and I know how to deal with it. But those two in the Yamen don't move every step of the way. Puppet, the two of them are also full of tricks, if something happens at this time, let them find Sanmei and Doctor Liu first, what should I do?"

Jiang Pingping looked at Fang Zhiyao with an ugly face, and was about to speak, but Fang Zhiyao continued without waiting for him to speak.

"I know this matter is not Miss Jiang Si's business. It is very good that she is willing to help me. It's just that I used to think that I, Fang Zhiyao, are not stupid, and I can deal with ordinary troubles. But in recent years, these things have become more and more serious. I find it very difficult. I admit that I am really inferior to others, and she has no morals to help me all the time, but the city is in a mess right now, and those two in the Yamen may attack at any time, and she, the only one who can deal with these two, is accompanying Anguo at this time I'm going out for an outing..." Fang Zhiyao felt as if her chest was holding her breath, and she panicked, "Of course I know I can't stop Miss Jiang Si, but I want to go out at this time, Mr. Jiang, what do you think of her? Did you do it right?"

Jiang Pingping looked at Fang Zhiyao, whose face was blue and red, paused for a moment, and said, "Miss Fang, you and I have to trust Miss Jiang Si, she is not the kind of person who will let her go."

According to common sense, what Miss Jiang Si did was naturally wrong, but what he saw as Miss Jiang Si would not do anything stupid, and she must have her own reasons for doing so.

Fang Zhiyao's pent-up anger hardened when she heard Jiang Pingze's answer: Just... unreasonable belief?

She is not the second younger sister, so it is really hard to "believe" in all the inconsequential actions of that person just because she believes in that person.

Jiang Pingping looked at Fang Zhiyao, who was suffocated by the anger in his chest, and couldn't help sighing softly: If this matter were changed, Miss Fang San would not be so flustered, but would believe it even more. It was Miss Jiang Si who "made her own claim".

However, Miss Fang's disbelief is quite reasonable. She is young and bears the burden of the family. Miss Fang has never been able to take such a slanted sword and lose everything if she is not careful. made.

What Miss Jiang Si said was right: her admiration for a heroine like Miss Fang is different from whether two people can get along with each other. Their behavior styles are completely different, and their views on the same thing are naturally different.

No wonder she asked him to tell Miss Fang about her departure instead of telling Miss Fang herself.

"Miss Fang, around noon, Ji Shizi and An Guogong went out. Not long after, that Lin Shaoqing hurried out of the Yamen to look for the two of them, didn't he?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Pingping would suddenly bring up this matter, Fang Zhiyao was taken aback for a moment: her people were waiting at the gate of the yamen, so she saw this, and she knew about it.

It's just that if you know it, you know it, but she didn't think much about it before.But the same thing had other meanings in the girl's eyes.

"It won't take long for the two of you to go out for a meal, but that Lin Shaoqing went out in a hurry, and couldn't even wait for a moment. There must be a big urgent matter." Jiang Pingping said, a girl appeared in his mind What I said to him before leaving, "I'm not sure, but counting the days, His Majesty knew about the Ye Mingzhu, guessed that there was something else going on inside, and it was about this time when he sent people to take Zhou Fang away."

The girl not only saw other meanings, but even further.

"Thousands of miles and fast horses rushed to Yancheng in less than ten days. At that time, Zhou Fang will be taken away. Miss Fang and Doctor Liu in the city will continue to hide for more than ten days until Zhou Fang leaves the city. Entry and exit of the city gates will inevitably be subject to stricter inspections, and ordinary disguises may not be able to get out. We need other ways to get out of the city." The girl paused at this point, narrowing her eyes slightly, "So from now on we have to We have started planning to escort Third Miss Fang out of the city."
