Hou Men Splendid

Chapter 140 Three waves of men in black

It is indeed a very difficult thing to investigate with only a jade pendant. I don't even know where Ling'er's mother came from.

After Shao Ziyu accepted the jade pendant, he sent Duke Lan and his uncle away. It was already dark when they returned to Shao's house. Lin Qingran coaxed Ning to sleep in the house. Apart from her frail body, Ning didn't care about anything else. She is easy to take care of, eats and sleeps, and the noise outside does not disturb her. The three children have very different personalities.

After coaxing sister Ning to sleep, Lin Qingran went to see Shao Ziyu in the study, and Shao Ziyu was fascinated by the jade pendant under the lamp.

After serving the tea, Lin Qingran sat down beside him, "What else is there to say about this jade pendant?"

"It's worth a lot." Picking it up and looking at the lamp, the jade is so clear that there is no trace of impurities in it, "This woman named Xi Yi must either be from a very high family background, or she is married to someone of high status. "

"It's not that my uncle met her in a town near Yanzhou. How far can a woman who is pregnant with Liujia run away? The pursuers still came after hiding not long after. Her home should be in Yanzhou City That area."

Shao Ziyu nodded, "There is nothing wrong with our speculation. I wonder if there are still people looking for them." Shao Ziyu has already made up his mind. He wants to make a few copies of this jade pendant and take it to the pawnshop in Yanzhou City. Including the small town where my uncle met this woman back then, if someone started looking for someone by following this jade pendant, they would be able to find some clues first in secret.

The next day Shao Ziyu ordered someone to do this. There are many good craftsmen in Luodu City. It is very easy to use similar jade to make a few pieces of jade pendants that are exactly the same. After two days, the things are delivered, just hold them in your hands and touch them. Looking at it, the difference is not very obvious, but the quality of jade is different, and people who know it can tell the difference at a glance.

Another piece of news that Shao Ziyu got was that the jade used in the jade pendant was only produced near the border, and the output was not high. The jade veins of the Feng'an Dynasty were all owned by the imperial court, and there were only two possibilities for personal ownership. One is private collection, and the other is land-feuding income. There are not many people from the land-feuding land. They were all owned by the imperial court before, and they are registered in the register. It is very clear what kind of jade is produced.

As far as he knows, even if there are jade veins in the border area, it does not belong to any fiefdom.

Shao Ziyu asked Ah Jiu to take these fake jade pendants to Yanzhou, put them in several pawnshops, and sent people to watch them strictly.

The jade is real, but it is not the one in Shao Ziyu's hand. If the people who have been looking for Xi Yi for so many years have not given up, they will definitely use the jade pendant as a clue. After all, this thing is too representative of identity. By the way, Shao Ziyu Let Ah Jiu go to Yanzhou Lu Mansion to find his uncle Lu Zheng, and borrow some people to spread the news, looking for a woman named Xi Yi
One month later, Shao Ziyu received a letter from Ah Jiu. The jade pendants placed in the three pawnshops were all bought away, and the people who bought them also asked the shopkeepers of the pawnshops about the people who sold the jade pendants. It was just strange. Yes, according to what they followed, the people who came out of the three pawnshops were not the same group.

To Shao Ziyu's surprise, two groups of people came from the fiefdom of the King of Yue, and the other group finally hid in the mountains connecting Yanzhou and the border, and Ah Jiu finally lost it.

After the two groups of people tracked entered the Yue King's fiefdom, it was difficult for Ah Jiu and the others to follow. In fact, it was not clear who they were in the Yue King's fiefdom.

The King of Yue is a prince of the same generation as the late emperor. When the late emperor ascended the throne, he took the concubine to the fiefdom. In these years, he rarely returned to Luodu City except for paying tribute. Quan, but also live comfortably.

The king of Yue passed away a few years ago, and the throne was passed on to his eldest son. The new king of Yue should be in his thirties now, but he has never had anything to do.

If he wanted to investigate carefully, Shao Ziyu had to go there himself.

This Shao Ziyu is still hesitating whether to go or not, Lin Qingran has already started to pack his things for him, Shao Ziyu can't help but feel a little apprehensive, seeing her come over and ask if he brought some autumn clothes, so that he can wear them when he comes back late When it was time, Shao Ziyu pulled her over and complained, "You think I won't come back, don't you?"

"What's the matter." Lin Qingran turned around, Shao Ziyu looked at the smile in her eyes, and said in a more sassy tone, "I still said no, with so many clothes packed, I can go for three or five months."

"It's not because you're afraid that you'll be cold." Lin Qingran heard it, and hung her hands around his neck, smiling, "Then I'll prepare two clothes for you, and you'll finish the matter soon and come back." ,OK."

Hearing this, Shao Ziyu felt a little more at ease, took her face in his arms and kissed her, regardless of whether it was inappropriate for children, Lin Qingran gave him a hammer, and Shao Ziyu picked up her daughter again and kissed her on the cheek.

Sister Ning was very well-behaved, she grabbed his clothes with her small hands, and looked at him with open eyes. Shao Ziyu saw that the child's eyebrows were somewhat similar to Lin Qingran's, his eyes were much softer, and he stretched out his hand to gently stroke her hair.

Perhaps it was Shao Ziyu's action that made her feel comfortable. Sister Ning narrowed her eyes and opened her mouth to smile. Lin Qingran took the child from his arms, "Go and see what else you need to bring in the study."

After packing up his things, Shao Ziyu will leave for Yanzhou in two days

For Lin Qingran, raising her child at home is very simple, and she is still feeding it now, and she doesn't go out, sometimes people come to visit.

In fact, it was after the separation from the Shao family that things really stopped. Lin Qingran occasionally heard something about the uncle's family from outside rumors. The uncle is now busy with government affairs, and the aunt is busy with the wives of various families. Mrs. Tai Still sick on the couch, as if hanging by his life, he wanted to leave at any time, but he just didn't.

Lin Qingran foresees that she will live a stable life for a long time.

Brother Han came back from school in the evening and had Cuju class in the afternoon. Not to mention sweating all over, his face was still flushed from the sun.

After taking a shower and coming to the main house, Lin Qingran touched his tanned face. Compared with two years ago, he was taller and thinner, gradually fading away from the chubby childhood.

"Mother, you can learn to ride and shoot next year." Brother Han said after watching his sister go to Lin Qingran's side to please him, "Father promised to buy me a pony, can you buy it for me when you come back?"

"It's not too late to buy after learning it next year." Lin Qingran patted his forehead, "You can't learn it now either."

"Next year I will be studying in September, so I have to develop a relationship with my horse first." Brother Han muttered, several classmates already have them at home.

Horseback riding and archery are naturally attractive to the boys in the academy, and they will also be envious when they see the older ones studying. Lin Qingran looked at his eyes full of hope, "When your father comes back, you can tell him yourself."

"Then I'll go to endorse the book first." Brother Han heard that this was a play, and if he behaved better before his father came back, his mother would definitely speak for him, so he hurried back to his yard to read.

"This child." Lin Qingran laughed and asked Si Qin to bring him some iced sour plum soup. Sister Ning woke up on the bed and looked at the top of the bed with her eyes open. Sister Ning in the bellyband exerted her little hands in front of her body, and raised her head at once, and she raised her head very high. She looked up at Lin Qingran, and her mouth was drooling with a smile.

Lin Qingran and the nanny didn't bother to hug her. The little guy was tired after carrying her for a while, and lay down with his face leaning against the soft mat. Lin Qingran went over to take a look, and was still spitting bubbles to play.

The nurse at the side said, "Miss gave birth half a month earlier. According to full-term calculations, it is time to raise your head now." The nurse picked up the words that were pleasant to the ear, but Lin Qingran didn't care when she raised her head or turned over. , and there is no requirement to win at the starting line, as long as she grows up healthy and healthy, Lin Qingran is more at ease than anything else.

Lin Qingran sat down by the bed and hugged her into his arms. The little guy can now grope, and he touched Lin Qingran's chest with his little hand. He was hungry. After Lin Qingran pulled down his shirt and fed her, he slapped her. Hiccup was placed in the crib, and she was lying alone, quietly looking at the little puppet hanging on the crib, not crying or fussing, very well-behaved

In mid-August, Shao Ziyu had been away for more than half a month, and he sent back two letters, saying that he had arrived at the Yue King's fiefdom.

No one named Xi Yi was found near Yanzhou City. It is very likely that Ling'er's mother used a fake name back then, but at least one of the characters Yi was in her name.

There weren't many clues in the first place, and even the name was fake, so it was hard to inquire.

Here, Shao Ziyu entered the main city in the Yue King's fief. He and Ah Jiu entered the city in two ways. Ah Jiu told him that people had been watching them since they became jade pendants in Yanzhou City. Shao Ziyu let Ah Jiu Jiu personally went to the main city of the Yue King's fiefdom to be a jade pendant.

Ah Jiu went to the largest pawnshop in the main city alone, and when he finished pawning and was about to go to a nearby tea house, Ah Jiu was stopped in the alley within a short time.

He was stopped by a group of men in black, the leader wanted to take him away, Ah Jiu fought with them, but after a while, another group of men in black appeared, the first group was surprised and the latter group Arriving, the group that arrived later did not say that they would take Ah Jiu away, but directly drew their swords to kill Ah Jiu.

In the narrow alley, two groups of twenty or so people fought like this, and the movement was not small. Naturally, Ah Jiu couldn't resist so many people by himself. After the fight, it directly turned into two groups of men in black fighting each other. To catch him, a group wanted to kill him, Ah Jiu took advantage of the confusion and escaped directly.

A few of them chased after them. Ah Jiu was concerned about hurting passers-by, but those men in black didn't care. Shao Ziyu saw Ah Jiu fleeing from a distance on the second floor of the teahouse, and counted the black clothes behind him. People, order the people behind them, "Catch the living ones!"

Ah Jiu ran into the alley again, this time it was a dead end, followed by three men in black, Ah Jiu did not run away, and turned to look at the three of them.

At this time, these people also realized that something was wrong, but it was too late. The alley behind was blocked by people. One of them wanted to step on the wall and jump up to the roof to escape. Ah Jiu was a step faster than him, stepping on the bricks beside him. Pulled him down directly, and the people behind rushed up, knocked out the three of them, put them on sacks, packed them away, and took them away.

When the three people woke up, they were already in other places, their masks were taken off, and they were tied up and sat on chairs. Shao Ziyu was opposite them, looking at them indifferently
