Chapter 220: Feng Shui Who is that?
Chapter 220 Feng Shui Who is that?
Zhao Lan's eyes narrowed and he returned to the chaotic incident again, "Are you sure those few are not suspicious?"
Prince Wei replied: "Just ordinary civilians."
The first thing he checked was the barefoot girl, the three men chasing her, and the little boy who was about to be trampled. Their identities were quickly confirmed.
The barefoot girl was the daughter of a gambler in Beicheng Alley. She was sold by her father to a West Market brothel to pay off his debts. The little girl refused to obey and slipped away from her father's hands. The next three were thugs in the brothel. Their identities were clean and traceable, and there was no trace of anything. Worthy of doubt.
That little boy is a commoner's child. When he came out with his mother, he was squeezed, knocked down, and almost trampled to death. He was so frightened that his soul has not returned yet. He only knows how to cry and understand nothing. Even if this child is brave , I guess I can’t ask anything. After all, Mao Ya stared at him without blinking, making the murderer disappear from sight.
Zhao Lan didn't let it go, "This matter can't be as simple and coincidental as it seems. Brother Huai, the two jugglers, gamblers, and small gambling houses, all the people inside have to be filtered."
Prince Wei nodded, "Okay, I'll check now."
Lu Youbai also said, "I'm going to check on Mr. Xue."
Hua Ping and Ye Huaizhen:…
Mr. Xue was quite surprised when he received the invitation from the Yang family. Although he had been neighbors for several years, there was actually no friendship between the housewife and Mr. Yang. They were just acquaintances at best.
After a change in the palace, Mr. Yang actually jumped from a seventh-rank official to a third-rank official in the imperial court. It was like the rhythm of heaven. No, even if he flew into the sky, he wouldn't be that fast! I took the post and looked at it for a long time, and I was filled with emotions. They all lived in the same alley, and they were promoted and promoted, and they were transferred to other places. Why didn't he stay still?
Mr. Xue was in a bad mood all day long. While he was out on business, he left the office early and passed by Su Ji to buy some cold noodles and take them home to eat.
When he arrived at the door of his house, the doorman took the donkey away. Mr. The house was bought three years ago and is now occupied by Su Ji’s man.
He looked up at his home again. It had not been touched for more than ten years. What was wrong with him and he could not cross the threshold of fifth grade?
Mr. Xue seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. He took a few steps back and walked towards Su and Yang's house. As he walked, he looked at the east and west alleys. His house was in the southwest, and Su and Yang's family were in the northwest. This direction is exactly Feng Shui. From a good position, look at the gates of the two courtyards. The brackets are flat and stable, and the eaves are like blue clouds.
Could it be that the feng shui of these two families is good?
Mr. Xue, who is not in high official position and has poor family fortune, is still in his forties. He is holding a cold peel in one hand and stroking his beard with the other. He is looking around and studying in the alley in front of Yang Su's house. Should he also change the door?
Then should I change it to the Su family's style that is stable and stable, or the Yang family's style that goes straight to the top?
Two nights ago, when he picked up the princess and met his little niece, he didn't even have time to say anything. Su Yanzu found the opportunity to ask the princess for half a day's leave to come over to find his little niece. He walked through the streets and alleys, and found that there were patrols and cadres everywhere, and he was stopped. After several cross-examinations, what happened?
Not long after the death of the late emperor, Su Yanzu was shocked and thought to himself, even the Princess Mansion didn't notice, what on earth was going on?
"Brother Chai, what happened? Why are you checking your identity so tightly?"
The cadre was very impatient and said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. If you have nothing to do, go home as soon as possible. Don't hinder us from doing errands."
Su Yanzu was pushed aside by the impatient patrolmen. Seeing that they didn't even spare the proud son of a fourth-rank official, could they want to arrest someone? He arrived at the Su family's new house with doubts, but he didn't expect that his niece hadn't come back from shopping.
Mother Dong looked at the sky outside and said, "It's already midnight. It's time for the second lady to come back. Why don't Mr. Su wait a little while I prepare dinner, and then I'll have a light meal with my second lady."
After asking for a half-day leave, Su Yanzu was not in a hurry and nodded, "Sorry to trouble mom."
"Young Master, you're welcome." Dong's mother went to prepare dinner.
Su Yanzu was sitting in the living room, waiting for his niece, and wondering what happened in the capital?
The twilight is closing, and the lanterns are starting to come on.
Mr. Fan is on duty from the government office. As a third-grade official, no one checks his pride. However, his identity makes him feel strange about the city-wide martial law search. He asks people to inquire. Unexpectedly, the inspector of the third division of the capital and the government office is actually there. They were all mobilized.
"Did you get that right?"
The steward nodded affirmatively, "My subordinates have seen Wei Shizi, Zhao Xiaojun Wang, and Lu Siqing. They went to battle in person, especially the West City. Anyone who passed through the West City today will be transferred to the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. Ask."
"Are you arresting someone or looking for someone?"
The steward replied, "I asked around and heard that a bandit from the south who killed more than a dozen people fled to the capital. The Imperial City Department and Dali Temple are working together to arrest him."
Such words can only be used to fool the common people. Mr. Fan narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, South...? Isn't that the direction in which the second prince, King Wei, fled? Could it be that the second prince sent someone to the capital?
Suddenly, he shouted, "Amu—"
"Master, what's the point of calling me little?"
"Tell Yanjia to go find Prince Zhao and ask what's going on?"
"Yes, sir."
The two jugglers couldn't withstand the torture from the Imperial City Secretary, so they finally resorted to it, "That man was so generous with his hand that he revealed a piece of fifty taels of silver. We thieves like us have never seen such a shining piece of silver. He Let’s take the opportunity to create chaos, and we’ll push people around and get money by disrupting the crowd.”
The two of them had a great time pushing each other.
If you don't want people to know you, you have to do nothing. If you think you are unaware of the ghost, you will still be pointed out by passers-by.
Prince Wei asked someone who was good at painting to draw the man the juggler said, with a thin face, a goatee, and a medium build.
Jujube thought for a while and added: "There is an inconspicuous scar mark on the face."
Dinner was about to be served. Su Yanzu didn't wait to get back to his niece, but instead waited to get back to his eldest nephew, Su Anzhi, who was going to school.
He saluted his uncle. Su Yanzu asked, "Ajin was invited to dinner by the little prince again?" The little niece went to dinner with the little prince two nights ago.
Su Anzhi shook his head: "Ajin told me last night that he was going to buy fabrics during the day, but he didn't say he would have dinner with the little prince."
Dong's mother also felt uneasy waiting, "Hua Ping, Shopkeeper Ye, Mao Ya, and Mang Zhong, none of them have come back. Even if they have dinner, they still send someone back to say something. Doesn't this make Da Lang worried?"
Su Anzhi asked Ah Hua, the young boy, to go to the alley: "Go and have a look. Maybe Ah Jin is already at the corner of the street."
Ah Hua then rode on his donkey.
Fan Yanjia finally saw Zhao Lan who was interrogating the prisoners. Santai and others were whipping and beating him. This was the first time he had seen the prison of the Imperial City Division, and it was quite scary.
Faced with howling ghosts and wolves, Fan Yanjia asked, "Zijin, my father asked me to come here and ask you, are the prisoners from the south sent by King Wei?"
When Zhao Lan heard this, he turned his head and looked away, then turned his head again.
Fan Yanjia thought, isn't it?
Just listen to Santai ask, "You and Bi Changgui are close friends. Will he come to see you when he returns to the capital? Tell me quickly, where does he usually go, and what are his friends?"
"Sir, I'm friends with Bi Changgui, but I haven't seen this guy since he escaped. I really haven't seen him..."
Although Fan Yanjia didn't know who Bi Changgui was, he knew that Zhao Lan must be answering his question when he asked him to listen. He nodded to show that he understood and left.
Zhao Lan turned around and said, "Ajin is missing."
Fan Yanjia was horrified, "So the entire capital is under martial law, not looking for anti-king spies, but looking for A Jin?"
Zhao Lan looked pained.
Fan Yanjia couldn't believe it, "Ajin was out and there were guards around her, how could she..." She was taken away. The person who could take her away must not be an ordinary person.
Zhao Lan was in a hurry to find someone, and he was not in the mood to talk to Fan Yanjia. He was stunned for a while and hurried back to the house to reply to his father.
"Dad, the whole city is under martial law to find Ah Jin."
Master Fan and his younger son had the same reaction when they heard it. They couldn't believe it. It wasn't that he didn't feel sorry for his student's daughter, but if the emperor found out what the consequences would be if he used the imperial soldiers to find a young lady, he would not believe it. I dare not think about it.
"Did you find any clues?"
Fan Yanjia replied, "We are looking for a man named Bi Changgui. It is estimated that Ajin's disappearance is related to this man."
His son was so focused on studying that he didn't know about this kind of petty official, but Master Fan knew about it. The main reason was that this person was once the henchman of Fang Wenzhong, the Minister of Household Affairs. If someone impeaches someone, he knows what to say.
While Zhao Lan was interrogating people, all the elites of the Jin Palace's secret line and the Exploration Department were searching every inch of the capital.
Huaping followed the West Market to Yujie, and to the south of Yujie was the Osmanthus Alley where Su Ji and the Su family had rented.
Ye Huaizhen felt something was wrong, "Brother Hua, are you looking for the wrong place?"
"But the news from the palace's secret source is that Miss Su's scent is coming from this direction."
"But these are the places we have walked through. Do they still have the smell of a little lady?"
It's possible, but Huaping would rather go the wrong way than give up, "Search first and then talk."
"good."
Zhao Lan finally interrogated the two places where Bi Changgui might have gone, and Lu Siqing's men escorted Mr. Xue over.
As soon as Mr. Xue saw Zhao Lan, he shouted that he was wronged, "Little Prince, A Jin and I are good neighbors and good uncles. You have to say something fair for me. I will see how the feng shui of the Su family and the Yang family is." Why are you arresting me? What kind of law have I broken?"
Eager to save people, Zhao Lan acted as if he didn't see or hear him, and left the interrogation room to go to those two places to find people.
Master Xue became anxious and grabbed Zhao Lan, "Little Prince, I am a court official. You can't just arrest me like this. What crime have I committed?"
Zhao Lan was impatient at being dragged by him, "Ajin is gone." After saying that, she pulled his hand away.
What?
Mr. Xue's eyes widened, as if he had been struck by lightning, "I thought Ah Jin was in Osmanthus Alley?"
Zhao Lan, who was about to go out in stride, turned around and asked, "What did you just say?" He grabbed Mr. Xue's collar and asked sternly.
"When I looked at the door of the Su family just now, I seemed to see the girl from the Su family through the crack in the door. This girl is usually at the Su family's new house. Today she is at the old house. I thought Ajin was there?"
Zhao Lan and Prince Wei looked at each other, and he suddenly let go of his hand and ran straight towards Osmanthus Alley.
Huaping followed the instructions given by the secret message and walked all the way to the house that the Su family rented before. Just as he was wondering, Ershi and his wife, who were in charge of the breakfast business, just came back. They saw Huaping in the alley and asked, "Why are you here?" ? "Is the little boss here?"
Huaping motioned for him to open the door with a serious look on his face.
The little boss didn't come? Ershi opened the door in confusion.
