Concubine

Chapter 285 Phlegm Spots

Yang Qiuchi glanced at Judge Zhao, and said with a smile: "It's hard to guess. It takes about half a day to travel from Zhenyuanzhou City to Qingxi County. Your Lord Judge came to visit in a hurry early in the morning, covered in dust, You haven’t washed your face. There are still marks from the horse’s stirrups on your official boots—this is what can only be left after a long journey, if there is nothing urgent, why didn’t you come to see your boss without washing your face?”

Judge Zhao touched the dust on his face, and smiled awkwardly: "It's true that I was too anxious, and I'm rude, please forgive me, my lord!"

Yang Qiuchi nodded, and then said: "If it's an official business, no matter how important it is, there are eight hundred miles to rush. Could it be that the magistrate runs faster than the eight hundred miles to rush? You are naturally running here for a private matter. "

Judge Zhao chuckled: "Master Yang's analysis is absolutely correct."

Yang Qiuchi continued: "If it's about other subordinates or squires, I'm afraid you won't be able to invite you to come here from the seventh-rank judge starry night. Therefore, in this town of Yuanzhou, apart from Mr. Zhizhou, I really can't think of anyone else who can let you go. Your lord judge came here after a long journey."

Judge Zhao was even more surprised, and praised sincerely: "Your Majesty Tongzhi is really brilliant, he really was sent by Mr. Geng from Zhizhou."

"Master Zhizhou sent the judge to come to me overnight to look for me. He didn't even have time to wash his face. It wasn't for official business. After all the calculations, only I, a little sesame official, can solve cases. This ability can make Master Zhizhou fancy. Asking me to help solve the case, this matter is too important to Master Zhizhou, he is worried that I will not go, and he himself is worried about the other end, so he appointed you, a majestic judge from the seventh rank, to invite me. So According to this inference, what happened at Master Zhizhou's house must be a big deal."

Judge Zhao was really stunned at this moment. At first, he thought that Yang Qiuchi's ability to solve the case was just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse. Now it seems that it is really better to meet each other than to be famous. Meeting is very famous.Standing up and saluting respectfully, "Exactly, Master Geng of Zhizhou's young master was kidnapped and left a note saying 'repay the husband's debt'. Master Zhizhou was worried that something might happen to the young master, so he specially ordered his subordinates to come and respectfully invite Master Yang Go and help solve the case."

Yang Qiuchi nodded, turned around and ordered the monitor and Chang Fu to prepare the horses.

Judge Zhao was overjoyed: "Master Yang is willing to go?"

"As a co-prefect of Zhenyuan Prefecture, I am the adjutant officer of Lord Zhizhou, so it is my duty to do this!"

Soon the horses were ready, Yang Qiuchi took advantage of this time to go back to the inner office and told Song Qing about it.When Song Qing heard that Yang Qiuchi was going on a business trip to handle the case again, she could only tell Yang Qiuchi to be careful.Of course, Song Yuner, the little tail and personal bodyguard, had to follow closely.

When the preparations were over, Yang Qiuchi took Song Yuner and Nan Gongxiong's personal guards, along with the squad leader Chang Fu and Master Jin, and his beloved little black dog, and set off for Zhenyuan Prefecture.

In the afternoon, everyone rushed to Zhenyuan City.

Mr. Geng, Zhizhou, received the news and greeted him at the gate of the yamen.

After being introduced by Judge Zhao, Yang Qiuchi saw that Geng Zhizhou was in his fifties, with gray hair, a small goatee and Siscilla, with a sad expression on his brows, but a forced smile on his face. It's really hard to be an official with a kidnapped son who doesn't want to be rude.He stepped forward and bowed: "Your official, Yang Qiuchi, see Mr. Geng, Zhizhou!"

Geng Zhizhou also hastily returned the salute: "Master Yang is too polite. I learned that you have been appointed as the co-prefect of Zhenyuan Prefecture. I have been looking forward to your coming..."

Yang Qiuchi interrupted him: "Master Zhizhou, let's solve the case first and find Mr. Ling, and talk slowly about other things later."

Geng Zhizhou nodded happily and gratefully, and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, everything depends on Mr. Yang." After finishing speaking, he welcomed Yang Qiuchi into the yamen.

Although Yang Qiuchi hadn't officially taken office yet, Geng Zhizhou had already renovated Tongzhi's inner office overnight, so he directly welcomed Yang Qiuchi into his own inner office.

This town in Yuanzhou is a thousand-year-old town, so it is naturally much better than the poor and remote Qingxi County. Therefore, this yamen is still very similar, although it is not as good as the magistrate's yamen in Ningguo Prefecture, but it is also different from the county yamen in Guangde County. Not much.

Yang Qiuchi didn't bother to visit his own internal office, after hastily introducing each other, he began to investigate the case.

Yang Qiuchi first briefly inquired about the case, and then ordered the nurse Luo Shi to be called.

When the nanny came, she knelt down and kowtowed, and told what had happened.

Yang Qiuchi asked after listening: "When the young master is gone, what are you and the servant Liu Shuangxi doing?"

"Me, the two of us sat on the rockery and watched the fishermen fishing in the Wuyang River below."

"Did you not notice the others?"

"No, I didn't notice." The nurse was evasive.

Yang Qiuchi stared at the nanny, and then said: "Come on, let's go to the scene of Qinglong Cave and see if there are any clues."

A group of people came to the Taoist Qinglong Cave.

Although the Qinglong Cave is called a cave, it is actually a building complex with Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism styles. It is built on the mountain, and hundreds of pavilions are scattered in the foothills of Zhonghe Mountain by the Wuyang River.The palace is majestic and majestic, the attic leans high in the sky, winding corridors, pavilions connect each other, and behind it is a cliff covered with lush vines.The ancient trees in the stork are dotted in the meantime, and the stone wall caves are looming.

Kong Lingzi, the stork master of Qinglong Cave Taoist Temple, learned that Master Zhizhou was here to investigate the case, and also knew that Master Zhizhou's young master had been kidnapped in this stork, so he was not panicked, and led all the stork Taoist priests to meet him in front of the mountain gate. .

It was past noon at this time, and there was a dark cloud slowly approaching from the sky, as low as it was floating close to the top of the mountain, and there were muffled thunders from the sky from time to time.

Geng Zhizhou's ashen face was like the dark clouds in the sky, his son was lost in this Qinglong Cave, annoyed in his heart, he ignored the ethereal son, and walked up the mountain.Kong Lingzi could only follow behind in fear.

Pass through Luzu Hall, Guanyin Hall, and Zhongyuan Temple to Laojun Hall, and then up the mountain from here is a rockery group, which is nearly two stories high, and there are several paths to the top of the rockery.
Led by the nurse and the servant Liu Shuangxi, Yang Qiuchi went to the top of the rockery. The top was bare except for strange rocks. There was neither a pavilion nor a tree. The dark cloud had not yet covered the sun, so it was still like a scorching sun. The fire was scorching hotly on the rockery, causing the ground to emit green smoke.

Yang Qiuchi turned around and asked the nurse and the servant Liu Shuangxi: "Where were you two at that time?"

The nurse peeked at Liu Shuangxi, pointed to a large bluestone in front, "There."

"Where was the young master at that time?" Yang Qiuchi continued to ask, paused, and added: "I warn you, you must tell the truth. This is related to whether the young master can be found. There is no escape from guilt!"

The nanny shivered, not daring to hide it, she pointed to a big stone slab not far away and said, "The young master was there at that time."

Yang Qiuchi glanced at the big stone slab, and snorted: "This is wrong, you two are sitting on this big blue stone, and the young master is on that big stone slab, just within your field of vision, a few steps away, someone carried him away How could you not see what the young master said?"

The nanny lowered her head and said, "We... we got lost watching the fishing boats fishing below..."

"This is even more wrong!" Yang Qiuchi walked to the edge of the rockery and looked down, and said coldly: "If you want to watch the fishing boats fishing, don't you see it more clearly from the Guanyin Temple below? Why did you come here? You can’t even see people clearly here, so why are you watching fishing?”

"I... I was wrong... We came up to enjoy the cool air, the wind is very cool here... So we came up..."

"Is it cool?" Yang Qiuchi looked up at the sky, burning hotly, "There is not even a tree here, it is full of big rocks, and after a while your head is sweating, how can you enjoy the cool? If you want to enjoy the cool, why don't you hug the young master?" What are you doing here in the temple below or under the shade of the tree?"

"We...we..." Nanny Luo Shi faltered and didn't know how to answer.

"When we came up just now, we also saw that almost all the people who came to this Qinglong Cave to enjoy the cool air were in the Zhongyuan Temple. There are big trees there, and the place is spacious and open, and the cool breeze is very comfortable. And here is so high, Who would brave the sun and sweat profusely to climb up here to enjoy the cool? You clearly have ghosts!"

Geng Zhizhou had already heard that the nanny was lying, and he said angrily, "It must be this slut and Liu Shuangxi who hijacked my son, come here, take these two slaves down, so they can be tortured!"

yes!The police behind him stepped forward to arrest him.

The nanny Luo Shi and Liu Shuangxi fell to their knees in fright, yelling that they were wronged.

Yang Qiuchi waved his hand, stopped the arresters, and asked the nanny: "If you don't tell the truth, you will be punished!"

The nurse Luo Shi shouted in a panic: "I say, I say," and glanced at Liu Shuangxi, the male servant kneeling next to him, "We two came up here... We thought there was no one here, so we put the young master there. On the big stone slab..., I hid behind the rockery... in the cave... I went to make out..., who knew... the young master disappeared..."

Geng Zhizhou kicked on the head alone, and cursed: "You two bastards, I'll take care of you when I'm done with this matter!" The two begged for mercy again and again.

Yang Qiuchi ignored this nonsense, carefully avoided places where traces might be left, walked slowly to the big stone slab where the young master was placed, squatted down and observed carefully, and found a dried up phlegm trace on the ground. , I just spit here recently.

The rockery group has to go up in the Laojun Palace. Since there are no trees, only nurses and servants with other purposes will come here in this hot day. Therefore, this piece of phlegm is likely to be some kidnapper left.

Yang Qiuchi extracted the sputum and prepared to go back for inspection.
