Chapter 219: Searching for someone
Not being able to find anything is not a solution. Mr. Shen reminded, "It is less than an hour since Mrs. Su Er Niang disappeared. The two closest gates to the West City are the Northwest Water Gate and the Guzi Gate. Starting from the West City, you can reach these two gates." It takes three-quarters of an hour to an hour to open the door, but the people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Department had already conducted a thorough investigation and interrogation less than half an hour ago. In other words, the possibility of Mrs. Su being transported out of the capital is only 20%. "
"Not even in the unlikely event." Zhao Lan suddenly interrupted Mr. Shen.
Mr. Shen: ...My young master, please let me finish what I have to say.
Zhao Lan glanced at him, and Mr. Shen nervously hurriedly shortened the story. To take someone away quietly from the busy city must have been carefully planned, so the people in the Investigation Department unanimously believed that it was done by people from Liaoxia.
As for whether Yang Jingzi is the leader of Wulacao, time will tell everything. Now we must find him before dark, otherwise, the longer time goes by, the greater the possibility that Mrs. Su will be in danger.
Under Zhao Lan's pressure, Mr. Shen quietly used the secret information of Prince Jin's palace to find the person. This person was outside the Investigation Department and belonged to Prince Jin's private property. Apart from Prince Jin and Zhao Lan, only Mr. Shen knew about it. .
Prince Wei was responsible for searching Su Ruojin's walking route today. As long as the streets she walked and the people she came into contact with, everyone would be brought to him for personal interrogation, looking for clues. After searching and searching, he actually found Fan Yang Lu's Lai The granddaughter of the government—Lu Lingxuan.
During lunch, Zhao Lan asked Lu Youbai to go home and persuade Duke Lai not to marry. Unexpectedly, the young lady was so impatient that she had already gone to demonstrate.
Prince Wei laughed secretly and found Lu Youbai, "You should go home and ask. Come and give me a reply. If you don't go back and ask, I guess Zhao Zijin can go directly to your Laiguo Duke's mansion."
Lu Youbai also had a headache. He was responsible for sorting out all the interpersonal relationships in the Su family. Unexpectedly, Mr. Su's interpersonal relationships were not as wide as those of his eldest daughter, the second wife of the Su family. The second wife of the Su family was really good in the hall and kitchen, and she was a good girl at home. He is very smart and capable when handling general affairs and business outside. He goes up to Prince Zhao, Fan Shilang's family, Mr. Xue, etc., and goes down to shopkeepers and clerks of various shops. He is able to deal with people with ease.
He had just checked the relationship between the neighbors when the Su family rented a house, and Mr. Yang was an extraordinary figure. When the late emperor passed away, the court was in chaos. Mr. Yang couldn't bear to see it, so he broke into the prince's mansion alone and scolded the prince. Incompetent and unable to take charge of the overall situation, he angered the prince in anger. The two fought, and Mr. Yang accidentally killed the prince. He ran to the new emperor, who was still King of Xiang at that time, cried bitterly, and asked King Xiang to kill him as an apology.
During the reign of the late emperor, Mr. Yang offended many people because of his loyalty and courage, and was never promoted to the rank of seventh-rank supervisory censor. The new emperor appreciated and cherished talents, and promoted him to the rank of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. From the third rank, he directly became a junior official in the capital. He has become a high official in the imperial court and a popular person in front of the new emperor. A few days ago, the new emperor just rewarded Mr. Yang with a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits. He is busy moving now, so if he has time, he can tie him up. Little lady, let’s talk about why he **** the little lady.
Lu Youbai automatically ignored Mr. Yang and doubted Mr. Xue on the left. An official would actually make money from the young lady of the Su family by taking some hot pots and food recipes. What if he was greedy for the young lady's new food recipes? If he refuses, will he secretly tie up the little lady?
After going home and asking his niece, Lu Youbai, Wei Shizi, and Zhao Lan met again and gave each other the progress of their investigations.
Prince Wei said, "Almost all the people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division were dispatched, and not even a fly could fly out of the city gate guard. Today, I will personally interrogate all the relevant people who came into contact with Second Madam Su, except Madam Lu. Except for the two acrobats who are a bit suspicious, no clues have been found yet.”
Zhao Lan had already investigated that Mrs. Lu from Laiguo Palace was blocking Su Ruojin. If he knew that the kidnapping had anything to do with her, he would not let Laiguo Palace go.
"How is Brother Ziyun doing here?"
Lu Si Qing Lu Youbai, courtesy name Ziyun. He replied, "I went home and asked my niece. There was chaos on the street just now. She happened to be eating sheep and hidden fish on the second floor of Xiji. She also stood at the window to watch the fun. She saw Madam Su and her girl going to save the little boy. Baby, in the blink of an eye, Mrs. Su disappeared into the crowd. She and the girl stood at the window for a long time, but they never saw Mrs. Su appear in the crowd again. "
Lu Youbai paid attention to Zhao Zijin's expression as he spoke. Seeing that his face was gloomy and in a bad mood, as if he was about to explode at any moment, he secretly sighed for his niece. A man is not happy with a woman, no matter how good the woman is. Can't stand him.
He continued, "Zijin, I think the neighbor on the left of the place where the Su family originally rented, Mr. "
"Impossible." Lu Youbai was interrupted by Zhao Lan before he finished speaking.
The Exploration Department is affiliated to the Imperial City Department. Prince Wei is the commander and Zhao Lan is the deputy commander. They work together, so Prince Wei knows that the Exploration Department is investigating Mr. Yang of Youshe, which is exactly the opposite of what Lu Youbai, the minister of Dali Temple, is investigating. .
Although the three are good friends, one is the son of a princess and the other is the son of a prince. They have different identities from Lu Youbai's relatives. As long as the former two do not take sides and are not confused, their status in the court is not easy to fluctuate, but the latter, although It is one of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. In addition to the emergence of outstanding generals and talents in the family, it also needs to consolidate the status through marriage in order to make the family status prosperous.
So it seemed like a small group of three people, but in fact, after the new emperor ascended the throne, they unknowingly split into two groups, but in the absence of any interest, no one told them.
Prince Wei and Zhao Lan looked at each other and did not refute Lu Youbai's guess.
Zhao Lan asked him: "Brother Jing Huai said that A Jin must not have been transported out of the city, so whether it is Mr. Xue or others, where will these people hide A Jin?"
After all, Lu Youbai is the minister of Dali Temple. Putting aside the uncle-nephew filter, he still has a good way of analyzing and concealing crimes.
"First, if Mrs. Su is kidnapped by the girl surnamed Li who left the Su family, the girl surnamed Li is just a down-and-out commoner girl. Even if she hires someone, it is probably unlikely that she can hire someone who can calmly remove someone from the downtown area. The person who was taken away, even if she encounters such a capable person, he will definitely be taken out of the city by Li's girl at this moment. "
Zhao Lan pursed her lips and retorted, "Not Li's girl."
"Then my second suspicion is the former military commander Kong Mu - Bi Changgui. This person has attached himself to Lord Fang of the King of Wei in the past two years. Since the King of Wei fled south, he has also disappeared. According to the investigation, someone has recently I’ve seen him for a while, he seems to be still in the capital, hiding somewhere.”
Zhao Lan frowned when he heard this. This little guy who had instigated the Shi brothers to rob Su Ji's breakfast shop actually appeared again.
