Soft-waisted little maid

Chapter 49 Encounter in Tianfeng Tower

Sun Yuzhu finally sent away the people from the Cai family. She turned around and looked at her brother with some worry: "Third brother, what if this Miss Cai..."

Sun Zan did not answer him.

After all, he had never thought about such a bad situation. Miss Cai came to Yin County to accept the invitation of Sun Mansion and came back to stay here for a while.

This Miss Cai is the only daughter in the house of Lord Cai, the governor of water transportation. She has been friends with the Sun family and the Xue family for generations. If something happens at this juncture, the Sun family will definitely be blamed, and the others will be forgotten. If their family insists on getting angry because of this, Sun Zan frowns on Yuzhu's head.

I'm afraid it's more likely that Xue Ke will be operated on.

"Third brother, have you thought of a solution?" Although Sun Yuzhu is usually lawless, she is a young lady who is inexperienced in the world. She is at a loss at this moment. "How about telling mother."

"Waiting for the news of your fourth uncle first." Sun Zan patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Even if I tell my mother, she may not be able to do anything. Don't let her worry yet. You wait at home, I will take people to Tianfeng Let’s go check with the abbot of the temple, maybe the people around us may have seen something.”

"I want to go too," Sun Yuzhu said.

Although her relationship with Miss Cai is not very good, they have known each other for such a long time.
"You wait here. Now that we are not here, if Miss Cai or someone from other provinces comes to find you, someone will have to deal with it here. Third brother knows that you have grown up a lot and can handle these things by yourself, right? " Sun Zan comforted.

"Okay." Sun Yuzhu's expression was still a little worried, "Then if there is any news, third brother, please send someone back to tell me as soon as possible."

"Do not worry."

At this point, Sun Zan left her there. He turned around and went to the servant's yard. He called a few smart and strong servants and changed into clothes that were not eye-catching.

When passing by Xue Ke's house, he glanced inside, but did not see any lights on inside.

Not knowing where she went, Sun Zan's eyes darkened unconsciously. He always felt that something had changed in her after he came back. But he had no time to think about this at the moment. He turned around and called someone, and immediately went to the sky. The temple was closed.
.
On the other side, Xue Ke also came to Tianfeng Temple alone.

She is not one to sit still and wait for death. The only clue now is to start the investigation from where they parted.

Today, Tianfeng Temple has completely quieted down after the noise last night. The temple is not big, but there are many pilgrims. Even so, the temple is extremely quiet at this time. Only the distant bells ring intermittently, and occasionally a few birds fall to the ground to pick up food.

Xue Ke spent a lot of effort to find the Tian Feng Tower where they were last night.

There is no one here anymore. The west side of the tower is the place where Aoshan was placed last night. It is now empty. There are some traces of fireworks on the ground, but most of them have been cleaned up by the monks who got up in the morning.

Xue Ke found several monks along the way, but they were told that she could not go up to the tower now, so she could only wander around at the bottom of the tower. If only she had remembered to call Zheng Lan to come with her, he would definitely have a way to get her up. .

"Ahem. I feel like someone is thinking about me."

While he was dazed, he suddenly remembered a familiar voice behind him. Xue Ke was startled, but the next second he felt sincerely that it was this guy again.

"Boss Zheng is really free. Don't you need to take care of such a big family business yourself?" Xue Ke couldn't help but choke him.

Zheng Lanshi shrugged: "Who told me to agree to your help? I am such an honest businessman."

"That's true, but I only bothered you to ask your subordinates to help you inquire, but I didn't bother you to go there yourself."

For the first time, Zheng Lanshi did not fight back, but suddenly looked at her and smiled: "Of course I want to help you." His behavior made Xue Ke feel a little strange, but I thought it would be nice to have him here, so he said: " I asked around, but they won’t let me go up to the Tianfeng Tower. Can you think of a way to get me up?”

Zheng Lanshi did not answer directly, but casually called a passing monk behind him.

The other party just listened to what he said carefully, then nodded towards the two of them, then made a gesture of invitation to them, and stepped forward to help them lead the way.

Xue Ke was a little surprised: "How did you convince him?"

Zheng Lanshi shook her fan: "I only said that when I went up last night, I dropped a jade pendant worth a thousand gold on it. Although the money is an external possession, it is a relic given to me by my parents after all."

"Boss Zheng, it's not good for you to just lie." The corner of Xue Ke's mouth twitched. She really naively thought that Boss Zheng had to rely on his extraordinary ability to get it done.

Zheng Lanshi smiled: "It's not all lies. Saving people is more important. I will understand."

Several people walked to the bottom of Tianfeng Tower.

Different from yesterday, the steps leading up to the pagoda had been surrounded by chains, which meant that entry was prohibited. The monk took the key and unlocked it for them: "Two donors, please hurry up. Something happened here today. So the abbot warned no outsiders to enter."

Hearing what he said, Xue Ke and Zheng Lan looked at each other.

So, could it be that the news of Miss Cai’s disappearance has spread? But they had tried their best not to let the news leak out. People in the Cai Mansion's annex would not take the initiative to publicize this matter if they didn't want to take responsibility. Who else could have leaked the news?
Xue Ke looked back at Zheng Lanshi.

"It's not me!" Zheng Lanshi's eyes widened, "It's really not me!"

The snow guest was doubtful.

"Master, you just said that, what happened here?" There was no other way, Xue Ke could only ask tentatively.

The monk looked a little nervous and immediately said sternly: "Girl, please don't ask around. The young monk doesn't know anything about it at this time. Our abbot has warned us not to leak even a word of this matter to the outside world. The young monk just made a mistake."

"However." He changed the subject, looked around, and then lowered his voice, "A group of people just came in front of you. Our abbot personally accompanied them to receive them. I look at their clothes and they should be from the county. For a wealthy family, this is probably not a trivial matter——"

"Release!"

Suddenly there was a shout from behind, startling all three of them.

"Abbot," the young master named Shi Jing looked at the visitor and was so nervous that he stuttered.

Seeing this, Zheng Lanshi immediately made an excuse and said, "I'm sorry, abbot, but Zheng lost something on the Tianfeng Pagoda last night and wanted to go up and look for it, so I bothered this young master. Please don't blame me."

"Abbot."

Suddenly a voice sounded, and Xue Ke, who was hiding behind the two men, raised his head and instantly saw clearly the person standing next to the abbot.

With a dark face, Sun Zan just raised his eyes to look at her, and then said to the abbot next to him in an indifferent tone: "It doesn't matter, they are with me."
