Xu Fu happened in the afternoon, and in the evening, Ding Man, one of the five little guys, found Shen Yi.

The main reason is that among the five people, only Xu Fu worked in Huangshizhai, and the others did not work in Huangshizhai. The shopkeeper of Huangshizhai thought that the boss had gone out to discuss business. Until evening, Ding Man went to Huangshizhai When looking for Xu Fu, I realized something was wrong.

Ding Man is honest among several people, and he works very hard on weekdays. He spent the longest time with Xu Fu. After knowing that his boss had an accident, he almost ran all the way to Shen's house. After entering Shen's house, Already collapsed on the ground from exhaustion, this young man who was only fourteen or fifteen years old gritted his teeth and got up, kneeling in the front yard of Shen's house.

"Young master, save the boss!"

Shen Yi is off work now, but he is not at home, but at Zhao Shangshu's mansion. Two servant girls of the Shen family hurried forward and helped Ding Man up. Seeing that his face was covered with sweat, Qing'er asked Ping Man Er poured a bowl of water over.

"Dimon, what's the matter?"

Among Xu Fu's five little friends, except for the fourth child who was still in Jiangdu because he accidentally betrayed Shen Yi, the other four lived in Jiankang and often came to Shen Yi's house for gatherings. Naturally, the two little maids knew them of.

Not only that, Pinger also has a very good relationship with Xu Xiaomei, almost becoming good sisters.

Ding Man knelt on the ground, his face was pale, he looked up at Qing'er.

"Sister Qing'er, something may have happened to my boss, is the young master at home?"

"Something happened?"

Qing'er was startled and asked, "What happened to brother Xu?"

They were very familiar with each other. Qing'er and Ping'er were a little older than Xu Fu, but Xu Fu's status was higher, so he couldn't call them by their names directly, so the two maids figured out this address by themselves.

"Just now, I went to Biguan Lane to look for the boss, and the shopkeeper there said that in the afternoon, the boss was taken away to discuss business, and he hasn't come back until now. The boss is very cautious..."

"If it's really about business, he will at least inform us, or inform the young master..."

Ding Man was so anxious that he was about to cry, and asked again: "Sister Qing'er, is Master at home?"

"No."

Qing'er looked solemn, and said: "I haven't come back after work, and the young master has been busy these few days, I don't know what I'm busy with..."

She thought for a while and said: "Well, you can rest at home, and I will go out with Ping'er to look for it."

Ding Man stood up directly, panting heavily: "I'll go with you."

Qing'er sighed, and said softly: "Okay, the three of us go to one of the places you often go to on weekdays."

She said softly: "No matter whether you can find it or not, you should immediately go home and meet up, so as not to run in vain, understand?"

Ding Man nodded quickly: "Yes, I listen to Sister Qing'er."

At this moment, Ping'er also came over with water, Qing'er waved to her, and said: "Ding Man has urgent matters to find young master, there is no time to delay, you go to Liquan Building to look for it, whether young master is there or not , you come back immediately."

Although Ping'er had a lively personality, she didn't dare to neglect at this moment. She glanced at Ding Man, and then responded.

"Hey, I'm going right now."

Qing'er looked at Ding Man again.

"Ding Man, go to Mr. Gu's private school in Dayifang, do you know the way?"

Ding Man nodded quickly: "I know Dayifang, I can find it!"

"Go quickly, it will be dark after a while, and it will be difficult to walk around."

Ding Man responded, without even drinking the water, he ran to Dayifang with his legs.

But Qing'er left and went to Zhao Changping's residence.

This eldest maid of the Shen family is still very methodical in her work.

Because among Shen Yi's three frequented places, only Mr. Gu's private school in Dayifang can be entered by Ding Man, and it may be difficult for him to enter the other two places.

The three acted separately, among which Zhao Changping's mansion was the closest to the Shen family, so Qing'er met Shen Yi at the Zhao family smoothly.

At this moment, Shen Yi was discussing with Uncle Zhao how to deal with this matter, and when he saw his maid came to the door, he also vaguely realized that something was wrong, so he quickly dragged Qing'er to Zhao's courtyard, and asked, "What happened? "

Qing'er nodded and said: "My lord, just now Ding Man came to our house in a hurry and said..."

"It is said that brother Xu was taken away by three men in the afternoon, and he never came back. Maybe something happened..."

When Shen Yi heard this, his face couldn't help but change.

He looked at Qing'er, and then slowly said: "I see, you go back and tell Ding Man now, let him go home and wait, don't worry."

Qing'er looked at Shen Yi, lowered his head and said, "My lord, aren't you going back?"

Shen Yi shook his head, he looked back at Zhao Changping's study, and said silently: "I am here to solve the problem, you go back first, don't worry."

"Little Xu..."

Shen Yi had no idea, so he could only comfort him: "There should be no accident."

After finishing speaking, before Qing'er could speak, he turned around and walked into Zhao Changping's study.

At this time, Zhao Shangshu was sitting in the study, and when Shen Yi came back, he saw that Shen Yi's face was not quite right, he frowned slightly, and asked, "What happened?"

"A little brother of my nephew was taken away by unknown people this afternoon."

He let out a breath of foul breath slowly, and said, "My nephew probably belongs to the Ministry of Punishment, otherwise he wouldn't be so blatant..."

He looked at Zhao Changping and said, "Master, they have already started..."

"The Criminal Department..."

Zhao Changping frowned and said, "Did your friend commit a crime?"

"Even if a crime is committed, it should be handled by the Jiankang Mansion. The Ministry of Punishment investigates and examines cases across the country. Why do they arrest people?"

Shen Yi shook his head and said, "Xiao Xu never committed any crime."

He lowered his head slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Master, Xiao Xu doesn't have a title of fame on his body, any yamen can arrest him, and then release him after tossing him half to death, let me say a misunderstanding, why no one can arrest the Ministry of Punishments... "

After all, Zhao Changping was sitting too high.

He was a little fuzzy about the dirty things in the lower-level yamen.

To be more precise, it is already a bit ungrounded.

The Lord Shangshu stood up silently, and said: "I recognize Xie Shangshu from the Ministry of Punishment, so let me go to his house and ask him if there is such a thing."

Shen Yi quickly waved his hand, and said: "Uncle, you don't need to come forward to this matter, and you don't need to spend so much trouble. My nephew just wants you to understand that those people have already started to attack."

Zhao Changping thought for a while, then sat back in his seat, looked at Shen Yi, and asked, "How are you going to deal with it?"

Shen Yi bowed his hands to Zhao Changping.

"If the Ministry of Criminal Justice takes someone else, my nephew really has nothing to do, but if the Ministry of Criminal Justice takes Xiao Xu, my nephew really has some connections..."

He bid farewell to Zhao Changping, and then went straight to the palace without saying a word.

At this moment, the sky was completely dark, not only the imperial palace, but also the imperial city were closed, Shen Yi could not enter the imperial city, so he could only yell at the inner guard guarding the gate: "Please inform, the mansion is reporting to Sizheng Shen Yi, there is something urgent Please see Eunuch Gao, Minister of Internal Affairs!"

"It's a big emergency!"

Shen Yi shouted several times, but the inner guards of the Imperial City Department still refused to let him in, but someone came out to verify his identity, and then reported it.

In this way, Shen Yi waited at the gate of the imperial city for nearly an hour, and when the autumn wind made him shiver, he finally saw Gao Ming.

After seeing Gao Ming, Shen Yi immediately stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Elder-in-law, something is wrong, Xu Fu took it?"

"Xu Fu..."

Eunuch Gao frowned, apparently forgot who Xu Fu was.

Shen Yi lowered his voice again.

"It's that Xu Fu who took the money from the internal treasury to redeem Mr. Gu..."

Hearing this sentence, eunuch Gao's expression changed.

He pulled Shen Yi aside, his face was serious, and his voice was even sharp: "Who took him? What are you going to do with him?"

"What do you want to do?!"

Shen Yi shook his head, smiled wryly and said, "Elder-in-law, I don't know..."

"That's why the officer came to see Eunuch in a hurry..."

Eunuch Gao's face darkened completely.

"Our family...understood."
