Concubine

Chapter 283

Huguang Town Yuanzhou Zhizhou Yamen, Zhizhou Geng Fenggang is working in the signing room.

There were two kinds of states in the Ming Dynasty, namely the subordinate states and the Zhili states.The treatment of the prefecture is the same as that of the county, and the treatment of Zhili Prefecture is the same as that of the prefecture, but the rank is lower than that of the prefect. The prefect is the fourth rank, while the prefect is only the fifth rank.

At this time, the porter ran in in a panic, knelt down and reported: "My lord, it's terrible!"

Geng Zhizhou was slowly reviewing a file, and raised his eyelids to look at the concierge displeased after hearing this: "Why are you panicking? Tell me slowly."

The concierge took a few breaths and said, "Little... the young master is gone!"

"What?" Geng Zhizhou threw away the file, stood up suddenly and asked.

The porter said anxiously: "Master, just now the nanny sent someone to bring a letter saying that the young master has disappeared, and the nanny and the others are looking around around the Qinglong Cave!"

Geng Zhizhou has one wife and four concubines, and he has a lot of children, but the one he loves the most is the son who was just born to him by the youngest concubine, who is only three years old.The weather is very hot today, the nanny Luo Shi held the child, Young Master Geng, and brought a manservant named Liu Shuangxi to the Daoguan Qinglong Cave by the Wuyang River in Zhenyuan Prefecture to enjoy the cool air.Unexpectedly, the young master was lost, and he searched the whole Qinglong Cave, but couldn't find it, so he became anxious, and while searching around, asked someone to bring the letter back.

Geng Zhizhou panicked now, and led his people to the Daoguan Qinglong Cave in a sedan chair, and when he got off the sedan chair, he saw the nurse Luo Shi sitting on the stone steps in front of the stork, crying loudly.The servant Liu Shuangxi stood beside him with a bitter face and rubbed his hands.

Geng Zhizhou hurried forward and asked, "What's going on? Where did the young master go?"

Luo Shi and Liu Shuangxi knelt down on the ground with a thud, and kowtowed repeatedly, Luo Shi said, "Young master, the young master is gone."

"Why don't you see it?"

Luo Shi said: "Just now, Liu Shuangxi and I were hugging the young master to enjoy the coolness in the stork. We were sitting on the rockery above the Laojun Hall, and the young master was playing on the big stone slab next to it. We...we patronized to look at the scenery below. , looking back, the young master disappeared. We thought the young master just went to some cave to play, but unexpectedly, we searched everywhere but couldn’t find it. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The male servant Liu Shuangxi said: "Little man and nanny, we searched the entire rockery in detail, and only found one of the young master's shoes, with a note stuffed in the shoe." A child's tiger-headed children's shoes took out a piece of paper and handed it to Geng Zhizhou with both hands.

Geng Zhizhou took a look, and saw four words written on it: "Father's debt is repaid", and he was stunned.

Father's debt and son's repayment?Could it be that the person who hijacked the child had a grudge against him?Geng Zhizhou searched in his head. As an official, he would certainly offend some people to some extent, but the hatred was so deep that he hijacked his own son. Geng Zhizhou really couldn't think of who it would be for a while.

The nanny was still kneeling on the ground and crying loudly, Geng Zhizhou was even more disturbed, stepped forward and kicked Luo Shi to the ground, and cursed angrily: "You bastard! You lost the young master, what the hell are you doing?" Howl! If you can't find the young master, I will kill you!"

Luo Shi quickly got up and knelt down, crying and begging for mercy.The servant also pleaded bitterly.

Geng Zhizhou turned around and looked at the servants, servants, and maids who followed behind him, and shouted: "What the hell are you still doing? Why don't I go to find the young master! I can't find the young master. I want you one by one. nice!"

The servants agreed repeatedly and hurriedly looked around.

Geng Zhizhou returned to the yamen in a sedan chair, he had no intention of working, so he went back directly to the inner yamen.

His wives and concubines had already received the news, and the inner yamen burst into tears.Especially the youngest concubine Wang Yufei Wang, that is, the young master's mother, was crying to death.

This young master is the darling of the Wang family, and she is the guarantee of her favor. Now she is in the Geng family. She wants to have wind and rain, and it all comes from this child. Once the child is gone, her status will be gone. Coupled with the heart-to-heart connection between mother and child, why not let her cry when the child is lost.

Geng Zhizhou sat in the living room of the inner office and sighed.When such a big event happened in the yamen, almost all the people went out to search for it all over the city, but waves of people who came back brought disappointing news.

After searching for a whole day, there was no trace of the young master.

It was late at night, and the living room of the inner yamen was still full of people. The young son of the chief executive of Zhenyuan Prefecture, Mr. Zhizhou, was kidnapped. The news had swept through the entire Zhenyuan City like a plague.The magistrates of the yamen, officials, officials of the sixth house, and good squires from the city all came to visit.Everyone in the room sighed, or cursed that the robber deserved to die, or comforted Zhizhou Jie, and tried to rescue the young master as soon as possible.

When it comes to rescue, Governor Geng Zhi sighed: "How to rescue? The robber didn't ask for money, and he didn't put forward conditions, alas~! Judging from the note left by the robber, I'm afraid...I'm afraid the child will not escape the catastrophe."

Zhao Linyuan, the judge of Zhenyuan Prefecture, slapped his thigh: "The robber's note said 'repay the debt of the father'. Everyone knows that the Lord of the state is an upright official and loves the people like a son. How has he ever owed a little bit of debt of favor? How has he ever told anyone? Forged such a deep hatred? According to me, it is clear that the robbers created something out of nothing and wanted to confuse the public."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Judge Zhao was very proud and said, "So, the kidnapper kidnapped the child for money after all! In my opinion, he will raise conditions sooner or later. Let's wait patiently until he raises conditions, no matter how much money he wants. For the safety of the young master, we promise that we will redeem the young master by selling pots and selling iron to raise money!"

After hearing Judge Zhao's impassioned statement, everyone felt that he was very righteous. No wonder the Master Zhizhou regarded him as a confidant, so they all nodded in agreement.

Geng Zhizhou sighed again: "Yeah, I have been thinking all day long about who I offended and wanted to take away my son. But after thinking about it all day, I have no idea. It seems that it is very Maybe as Judge Zhao said, this person is still doing it for money."

Official Li Bin said: "My humble opinion, since this person left a note and said so, I am afraid it is less likely to be for money, and his purpose is probably to take revenge. Therefore, if one day is too late, the young master's life is in danger." It's more dangerous. Therefore, instead of waiting for news like this, we should take the initiative to attack and find a way to catch this robber."

Judge Zhao was already upset when he heard Li Limu refute his point of view. When he heard that he would take the initiative to arrest people, he sneered and said, "Is it up to you? Who doesn't want to solve the case? Who can bear it?" What about this breath?"

"Yes, the humble official made a slip of the tongue." Li Li was terrified.

Limu is only from the ninth rank, which is the last rank in the rank. Any official can bully him, but this judge is from the seventh rank, so although he is very rude to him, Limu can only swallow his anger.

But Geng Zhizhou heard that Li Limu had something in his words, he was worried about his son, from the note left by the robber, he could guess that his son might be more or less dangerous, not afraid of [-] but just in case, if he wanted to kill the child to take revenge , that is really more dangerous every day.If there is hope to solve the case and find the child, even if there is only a sliver of hope, he must not let it go. He hurriedly asked: "Master Li, what do you have to say? You might as well say it for everyone's reference."

"Yes, yes," Li Limu agreed, and took a peek at Judge Zhao.

Judge Zhao stared: "What do you think I am doing? Master Zhizhou told you to tell me, why don't you tell me quickly!"

"Yes, yes," Li Limu was a little embarrassed, but he seemed to be used to this kind of anger, and said, "The humble official thought of someone who might be able to crack this case and rescue the young master."

"Oh? Who is it?" Geng Zhizhou seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

"Master Geng, do you still remember the case of Wang Dianshi some time ago?"

How can Geng Zhizhou not remember this case? Because of this wrong case, he was sentenced to eighty sticks and fined for one year. The injury on his buttocks has just healed. He asked, "Master Li, what do you mean...?" Suddenly, Geng Zhizhou thought of someone, and immediately realized, "You mean the county magistrate of Qingxi County who cracked Wang Dianshi's wrong case last time, and now Mr. Yang Qiuchi, who also serves as the co-prefect of our state? Ask him to help solve this case? "

"Exactly!" Li Li said, "Master Yang is not simple. As soon as he arrived in Qingxi County, he uncovered the case of Wang Dianshi raping and killing Miao Village Shaozhai Master Yun Leng and killing his wife and brother, and framed Yun Leng. , Successfully resolved the conflict between Han and Miao. I heard that the Miao village head now enshrines Mr. Yang as a Bodhisattva for this matter. He praises and speaks to everyone he meets. friendship."

"The Miao people in Qingxi County don't accept the kingly teachings and often make troubles. It has always been the county that Mr. Yang has the most troublesome. Now it is governed by Mr. Yang in an orderly manner, and the Han and Miao people get along well. It seems that Mr. Yang's ability is really extraordinary."

Judge Zhao sneered again: "What are you talking about? Who are you going to praise him like a flower? Don't forget, it's because of him that our Master Zhizhou has suffered [-] punishments in vain. Pay a fine for one year, one year! Save enough money to feed your family for five years!"

Li Limu repeatedly nodded in agreement, not daring to say anything.

Judge Zhao was even more proud, and said with a sneer: "How capable is he as a small county magistrate? I think this Yang Qiuchi is just a blind cat who encountered a dead mouse. What can you do? Why don't you brag about him so much?" What? You want to see Master Zhizhou’s jokes, don’t you? Don’t you know that Master Zhizhou is trying to find him bad luck?”
