The wife of the power minister's family

Xu Jing thought for a moment, then looked at Yao Shaoyin and said, "Did the Wang family and the Xu family receive a blackmail letter from the kidnappers?"

"How do you..."

Yao Shaoyin was surprised for a moment, then calmed down, took a deep look at Xu Jing and said: "As expected, I can't hide it from Madam Xu, and I didn't mean to hide it from you. After all, the suspect has a close relationship with Madam Xu, and Madam Xu has always been smart. Extraordinary, Jiang Zhaoyin was worried that Madam Xu knew too much and would do something secretly, so he specifically asked me not to talk too much to Madam Xu, and just take Madam Xu directly to the Xijing government office."

Logically speaking, he couldn't even say why he took her there.

It was just that he didn't really believe that Madam Xu was involved in this matter, so he revealed a little bit of information.

Xu Jing knew how difficult it was for Yao Shaoyin, and said: "Don't worry, Yao Shaoyin, I will do my best not to implicate you. The people who kidnapped Wang Baojun and Xu Hanguang are definitely not my cousin and cousin. I also want to ask Yao Shaoyin something Thing, why do you conclude that the kidnapping letter is related to my cousin?"

To know who wrote a letter, you usually need to compare the handwriting.

However, the Xu Huaiyang brothers and sisters were not from the capital. Very few people in Xijing knew them, and even fewer had their handwriting on their hands.

Even Xu Jing didn't have anything with their handwriting on it.

Yao Shaoyin was silent for a moment and said: "This matter is rather complicated, that's all, I'll just tell Madam Xu.

According to the families of these two children, Wang Xiaolangjun and Xu Xiaolangjun went to school together in the Wang family, and their relationship has always been very good. Today happened to be a day off for the family students. They made an appointment to go to the book store to buy books together today, which is Baoyue Pavilion. The Chongwen shop next door. "

Xu Jing immediately recalled that when she came here, there was indeed a bookstore near Baoyue Pavilion. The bookstore was quite large and elegantly decorated.

"The servants who followed them said that they were very peaceful at first and kept picking out books and reading there. However, not long after that, a group of people suddenly poured into the bookstore. None of them paid attention, but the two The child sneaked out.

It was said that the two children often ran away, and the people around them were more or less used to it, so they immediately dispersed to look for them. However, what they didn't expect was that the two children didn't go very far and kept wandering near the book store.

They first ran to a distant place to look for it, but after searching for a long time without finding it, they returned to the bookstore to look for it. Then they found Wang Baojun's jade pendant and Xu Hanguang's bag of candy in this alley, and realized that something was not right. , went to notify the host family, and then the Wang family and the Xu family came to the government office to report the case at the same time.

We immediately took the government officials to visit the area and investigated. We took the portraits of the two children and asked them from shop to shop. When we asked about Baoyue Pavilion, the clerk there immediately said that the two children had probably been here today. We were looking for a man named Xu Huaiyang. He looked very arrogant and arrogant. The clerk in Baoyue Pavilion received many noble people. Looking at the clothes of the two children, he knew that they were from prominent backgrounds. He didn't dare to offend them, so he followed them. He said he had never seen a man named Xu Huaiyang, and sent the two children away in a good voice.

They told us that they actually did have a customer named Xu Huaiyang here, but looking at the appearance of the two children, they instinctively couldn't tell them about it, so they hid it. This morning, Xu Huaiyang and his sister also Here, the brother and sister ordered a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets from their place. They were very attentive and came to inquire about the progress almost every day. Unfortunately, when the two children came, the brother and sister had just left. "

Xu Sihai on the side couldn't help but said: "Just because of this, you think they were kidnapped by me, Yang'er and Jin'er? What a mess! A few days ago, Yang'er had some disputes with them on the street. They clearly knew It’s because I know that Yang’er will come to Baoyue Pavilion these days that I want to seek revenge on Yang’er!”

"Of course it's more than that."

Yao Shaoyin glanced at Xu Sihai and said, "While we were searching the street, people from the Wang family and the Xu family suddenly came over and said that they had received a blackmail letter from the kidnappers. It said that they were asked to prepare [-] yuan within two days. Two silver notes cannot be reported to the official without their permission.

And because Xu Huaiyang and Xu Huaijin ordered jewelry at Baoyue Pavilion, their names were on the deed signed when they paid. We compared it with the handwriting on the blackmail letter. The word "Xu" looked very similar. "

Xu Huaian was startled and said quickly: "Which kidnapper would use his original handwriting when writing a blackmail letter? This is clearly a frame-up!"

"Of course we find it strange, but considering that Xu Huaiyang and Xu Huaijin are both very young, it's normal that they didn't think it through for a while. After all, they probably didn't expect that we would suspect them so quickly and find their handwriting for comparison. .”

As Yao Shaoyin spoke, his voice suddenly sank, "The most important thing is that the most suspected ones now are obviously the Xu Huaiyang brothers and sisters. Neither the Wang family nor the Xu family are ordinary families, especially the Wang family. The person who was kidnapped was a relative of Duke Qiao. Grandson, now even the Queen Mother has spoken, and Wang Baojun must be found immediately."

Xu Jing understood immediately.

This is under heavy pressure, and results must be obtained as soon as possible. In this case, no matter how outrageous the clues are, they will not give up, and they may not even think about it deeply. The most important thing is to find the two children immediately.

There is a high probability that if they continue to search, they will indeed find those two children, but they will definitely find Xu Huaiyang and Xu Huaijin at the same time.

This is simply...the worst situation.

Xu Jing couldn't help but laugh lowly when she thought of this.

Xu Sihai and Xu Huaian looked at her blankly, thinking that she was under too much pressure and couldn't think about it. Xu Huaian gritted his teeth and whispered: "Ajing, don't worry, I..."

"Worried? Why should I be worried? The mastermind behind the scenes personally gave me such a big flaw, and I couldn't even be happy."

Xu Jing twitched her lips coldly, "I have found the breakthrough point for the mastermind behind it!"

Everyone was startled.

She looked at Yao Shaoyin and said: "Yao Shaoyin, I will definitely find time to repay you for your great kindness today. I hope you can do me another favor."

Yao Shaoyin came back to his senses and said: "Mrs. Xu, please tell me, let me see if I can help."

In fact, he was somewhat uneasy about helping Xu Jing like this.

But the scene where Madam Xu suddenly saw through Xin Lei and rescued the Zhou family's wife was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In addition, he later heard that Madam Xu had single-handedly solved the Imperial Academy case, and Yao Shaoyin somewhat admired this woman.

Moreover, he had an intuition that something was wrong with this case. It was just a small favor and it would not affect the final truth. He was still willing to help if he could.

If it would affect the investigation, he would not extend his hand.

After Xu Jing finished asking him to help, Yao Shaoyin was stunned for a moment and then said: "It's no problem for such a small thing."

Xu Jing raised her lips and said, "Thank you to Yao Shaoyin first. I have wasted a lot of time. Let's go to the Xijing government office now."

The carriage quickly arrived at the Xijing government office. Before getting off the carriage, Xu Jing said: "Uncle, cousin, you must be mentally prepared. The situation inside is not too optimistic."

Xu Sihai got off the carriage first and said: "Let's go, I am your uncle, how can I comfort my niece? Don't worry, uncle has never seen any big storms?"

When he said this, his face became extremely dark.

No matter how rich their family was, it would be difficult for them to move forward in Xijing, a place that relied on power and influence.

Xu Jing glanced at him and got off the carriage.

This was Xu Jing's first serious visit to the Xijing government office. It was much more majestic and solemn than the shabby and small county government office in Anping County. Just a red lacquered door was intimidating.

Several people walked in under the leadership of Yao Shaoyin. As soon as they reached the courtroom, Xu Jing's heart sank slightly.
