The evil sister-in-law dressed as a yandere boss

Chapter 445

The Yanbei Palace and the Yamen have sent many people to look for him, but still found nothing.

The four scholars seemed to have evaporated out of thin air.

Yan Dongyuan called them over just to ask if he knew where they might go.

Of course the deans don't know, and the students are not the dean's students, so they may not be familiar with it.

At the same time, the families of the students who heard the news quickly rushed to Fucheng.

The Chu family was quite powerful in Fucheng, so they immediately sent people out to look for him. The Xia family was rich and wealthy, and they had no shortage of money, so they posted a notice offering a reward.

Zhen Yingtian's home is in the north, and her family members didn't come for a while.

The Jiang family came in a hurry after receiving the news. Seeing Tao Zhen was like seeing a savior.

"What's going on? You were fine when you left. Didn't you go to the Imperial College to study? Why did this happen?" Jiang Er was extremely anxious.

Tao Zhen comforted him a few words and told him roughly what happened.

Tao Zhen said: "Second brother, don't worry. Based on your understanding of Chunsheng, what do you think he would do?"

Although they were brothers, he didn't know much about his brother's stay in the academy, nor did he know where they would be hiding.

Tao Zhen took a map and looked at it for a long time, then suddenly pointed: "Master, is this a forest?"

Yan Dongyuan looked at it and nodded: "Yes, it's just a small forest. You shouldn't be able to hide from people."

Tao Zhen said: "Where was their carriage found?"

Yan Dongyuan pointed: "Here."

He paused and said, "It's more than ten miles away from the woods you mentioned."

Tao Zhen said: "Chu Chenglin is a rich man, and Xia Chujiu is also a young master. I don't know much about Zhen Yingtian at the moment, but Jiang Chunsheng comes from a farmer's family. Their village is called Dahe Village, which is close to Langshan Mountain. He has been familiar with the mountains and forests since he was a child. Very familiar. In such an environment, instead of driving the carriage around and being overtaken sooner or later, Jiang Chunsheng is a very independent person and he will definitely run to a place he thinks is familiar."

Brother Jiang also said: "Yes, Chunsheng ran up the mountain with my father when he was six or seven years old. He can also climb trees. He must have gone to the mountain. As long as he goes up the mountain, those people will not be able to catch him..."

Yan Dongyuan immediately sent someone over.

When Tao Zhen came home, it was already dark. The lights were on in Pei Zhan's room. He was sitting on a chair with a piece of paper on his desk with a word written on it.

Tao Zhen looked at it and saw that it was the word "tower". Tao Zhen's first impression was that it was Ninggu Pagoda.

"Why are you back so late?" Pei Zhan discovered her.

Tao Zhen told the story again, but even though he had heard the news, Pei Zhan still didn't speak for a while.

Such a big thing happened suddenly, and it was not a good sign no matter how you thought about it.

"What's going on here?" Tao Zhen asked, looking at the writing on the paper.

Pei Zhan said: "Yan Xilou wrote it to me."

Tao Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Yanxi Tower? If he wrote such a word, it should mean Ning Guta. What does he mean?" Pei Zhan shook his head: "I don't know, the whole Yanbei Palace makes me feel Very strange."

Yan Xilou was strange, Princess Yanbei was also strange, and even Princess An Ning who suddenly approached her was strange.

Tao Zhen said: "It seems that this Ninggu Pagoda is indeed interesting. But if something like this happens at this juncture, will they still go?"

Pei Zhan leaned on his chair and looked very tired: "I will definitely go."

Yan Baiqi couldn't wait for this opportunity only once a year.

Tao Zhen thought about it, Yan Baiqi had indeed been delayed here for too long.

"Go back and ask your mother to see if she has any clues!"

Tao Zhen talked about the scholar incident again. She said: "I think it's really strange. Even if the prisoners in the quarry rioted, they all escaped. Shouldn't they be hiding far away? Why should they rush in?" Scholars in Beijing, not to mention the scholars were escorted by the palace guards, how these prisoners could kill them so cleanly is totally unexplainable."

Pei Zhan also said: "It can't be a prisoner in the quarry. The prisoner is just an excuse, but it is used to stabilize the outside world."

"If it's not a criminal, who could it be?"

The personal guards of Yanbei Palace checked in the grove that Tao Zhen mentioned, and found some clues, including a pool of blood and some rags of clothes.

They followed these traces into the mountains and searched, but found nothing. How could they, four scholars, have lived in the mountains for so long?And after sending so many people, they still couldn't find it. Everyone was full of hope at the beginning and now they are becoming more and more desperate.

Jiang Er is also visibly agitated. Jiang Chunsheng is the only scholar in his village and the most promising child. The village hopes that he will come back with a good name and honor his ancestors. But now Jiang Chun lives without seeing dead people or corpses. Jiang Er can't do it no matter what. He couldn't accept it. He didn't want to wait any longer. Instead of placing his hope on others, it was better to find it himself.

Jiang Er spoke to Tao Zhen, called a few people from the village and went to the place where Jiang Chunsheng disappeared.

The families of other dead scholars also came to claim their bodies. They couldn't swallow this breath. People can't just die inexplicably. They will seek justice for their sons no matter what, and the Yamen will not arrest them for a day. If they see the prisoner, they won't leave for a day.

The Yamen "lived up to expectations" and quickly caught the group of prisoners who escaped during the riot. These people were different from Hu Zhan. They did not have Hu Zhan's skills and ran away on impulse.

But as the old-timers in the quarry said, if you run out, you will die. They have no food, no drink, and no identity. Yanbei is not a place with vast land and abundant resources. Let alone food in the wild, there is no grass roots to chew, and more than a dozen people are hungry. Skinny and haggard, like a beggar, he was captured.

The Fucheng Yamen interrogated these people on the same day and signed and stamped their names. These people did not even say that they were wronged, and were taken to the market entrance.

King Yanbei has always regarded himself as benevolent and righteous. As long as the criminals he caught were not extremely guilty, they were usually exiled from a place with a good environment to a place with a bad environment.

For example, Huang Menghan, Sun Qiang, and later Hu Ling were all exiled to the village.

The onlookers were very excited and shouted at these people with rotten vegetables, leaves and rotten eggs. These people stared numbly at the crowd, their ears were buzzing, and they could not hear clearly what the crowd was cursing.

Three o'clock in the afternoon!

More than a dozen heads fell to the ground with a gurgling sound. Some of the people standing in front were frightened and fainted. Those behind who couldn't see clearly still had to push forward. The crowd grew bigger and bigger.

After the prisoner was killed, the body was quickly taken away, and the blood stains were covered with loess and soon disappeared.

The next day, there will be small vendors rushing to set up stalls to sell vegetables in this place. Standing on the loess covered with human blood, the vegetable market business will be particularly prosperous.
