Family Has a Concubine

Chapter 560 Explosion 14: Found

Lei Yuanwai listened attentively, and thought their conversation was quite interesting, so he couldn't help arousing his curiosity. What do you think, Master Long is here to investigate? the man in gray and blue clothes asked.

Hehe. The man in Tsing Yi smiled and suddenly lowered his voice, Maybe...it's about Cha Zhenxihou.

Marquis Zhenxi? Why him? said the man in gray and blue clothes.

You don't even know this? You were also in Beijing at the time! The man in Tsing Yi widened his eyes.

The man in gray and blue clothes touched his head: I really don't know. During that time, there was something wrong with the goods at home. We were busy all day, so we didn't have time to care about the right and wrong outside. What's going on?

The man in Tsing Yi said: Marquis Zhenxi is the hero of our Great Qi, those gangsters are hateful, they even framed him, what's more, the leader of the gangsters pretended to be the grandfather of Marquis Zhenxi, saying that Lord Hou's aunt was His daughter! Pooh, I have never seen such a shameless person. At that time, the city was full of turmoil, and many people who were hostile to Lord Hou kept spreading rumors. It is said that in order to stop the rumors, the emperor sent Jinlin Guards out of Beijing to track down the life experience of Lord Hou and his aunt. In the end, the lies of the bandits were exposed, but the Jinlin Guards sent out to Beijing, and they checked it out along the way!

Hey, the Lord Long we saw in the city mansion just now is coming... said the man in gray and blue clothes.

That's right! It must be. The man in Tsing Yi said, If you find out here, it means that Zhenxihou's maternal ancestor's family is from our Dingzhou! Oh, if you really think about it, you will feel proud! Zhenxihou His grandparents are from Dingzhou!

The man in the gray and blue clothes smiled and poured a glass of wine for the man in the green clothes.

The man in Tsing Yi continued: Last year when Zhenxihou first made his fortune, everyone was talking about him, and I often went to Dingguobo's mansion to deliver wine, so I chatted with the boys there, and the boys there said that Zhenxihou's My aunt seems to be born in the land of fireworks... I heard that she was abducted into it. Fortunately, I met Uncle Chu at that time, tsk tsk! But... Alas, in this world, why are there so many human traffickers?

Ah! Grey, Blue Clothes was startled suddenly, and slammed the table hard, I remembered, twenty years ago, didn't many girls in our Dingzhou disappear? I heard it was a very large gang of human traffickers! Tsk tsk, then Master Long found out here, maybe it is the group of missing girls.

The man in Tsing Yi laughed: Don't talk nonsense! Twenty years ago, you were still a little kid, how did you know so much?

For a while when I was a child, my mother said that I was as beautiful as a girl, and she wouldn't let me go out to play every day, and I was trafficked for saying that I was careful, hahaha! I remember it clearly! Gray and blue clothes laughed happily.

It's just you, who still looks like a girl? Pooh! The man in Tsing Yi spat at him.

At this time, Xiao Er came over, holding a tray: Guest officer, the food is served! Hehe, what are you two talking about so interesting, what is it from a businessman in the capital?

Yes— the man in the gray and blue clothes wanted to say.

But the man in Tsing Yi tugged at him and smiled: It's just some boring things.

Xiao Er just said something casually, turned around and left with a smile.

The man in Tsing Yi said: After all, it is an official matter. They are handling the case, so let's not talk about it. Come on, I haven't drunk the wine from my hometown for a long time, let's have a drink.

Then the two of them chattered some random gossip, and left after dinner.

Lei Yuanwai, who was sitting in the corner, sat there in a daze. In the trafficker case twenty years ago, his daughter also disappeared at that time!

At that time, their Lei family was a well-known wealthy businessman in Dingzhou. Their daughter disappeared, so they dared not report it to the government, so they asked their servants to find her. The government was also investigating the case, and later heard that the case was solved and several girls were rescued, but his daughter was not among them.

They searched for half a year by themselves, but they gave up after finding it.

A daughter's family has been homeless for half a year, how can she still be innocent?

When she didn't get it, it was found that she had entered a dirty place, or unfortunately fell into the hands of some poor men, and became the daughter-in-law of some unseemly people. face.

So in the end, they stopped looking for it and only lied to the outside world that their daughter had died of illness.

Because of this, his wife also died of illness.

After twenty years, he had somewhat forgotten that he still had an abducted daughter. Now I suddenly heard someone bring up this matter again, and... among those abducted girls, some were sold to the capital, and finally became the aunts of the uncle's mansion, and gave birth to a child. The famous Marquis of Zhenxi!

Thinking about it, Lei Yuanwai's chest rose and fell, and he was envious again, so he faintly looked forward to it.

Back then, his own daughter was among them!

The most important thing is that her own daughter is also considered beautiful. With such beauty and good looks, it is reasonable to sell her to the rich and powerful as a concubine.

But in the end, she didn't write a letter to her family after giving birth... By the way, the child died shortly after birth!

The reason why their Lei family fell in the end was because they couldn't get enough of the dignitaries like the magistrate!

And the Marquis of Zhenxi... that is a minister of power! Even in remote Dingzhou, the name of Marquis of Zhenxi is like thunder.

Lei Yuanwai's chest felt hot, and he couldn't help thinking about it.

But after drinking a glass of cold wine, he cleared it up a bit.

How can there be such a good thing, after all, all good things belong to others.

Although I convinced myself like this, I couldn't help but have a bit of anticipation and hope.

At this moment, a short and fat boy walked in: Master, the new batch has arrived ahead of schedule, you should go home and inspect the goods!

But Lei Yuanwai was still immersed in the matter of the abducted daughter, he was in a trance, and there was no mood to check the goods.

Lei Yuanwai waved his hand: Laifu, you can just let the old man do it.

Ah? Lai Fu was startled, Old man, didn't you say last time that you were not careful enough and made mistakes all the time. Besides, the shipment in front of you is very important, do you want to inspect it yourself?

Lei Yuanwai used to be concerned about these goods, but these things are nothing in such a big event as Zhenxi Hou Grandfather!

But I don't know the truth of the matter of Pianzhen Xihou, whether it can fall on my own head.

Lei Yuanwai was extremely irritable, and said coldly: Just let him go, don't waste your time talking.

Yes. Lai Fu lowered his body timidly, Then...the old man isn't coming home? At this time before, Lei Yuanwai was taking care of business because of his family.

Lei Yuanwai's heart was floating outside, I won't go back, I have something to do soon! Thinking, he looked forward to it even more, looked at him and said, You go home and talk about the inspection. Leave it to the old man. You can drive a carriage over here, and let's go to the city mansion to do some important things.

Yes. Laifu nodded, then turned and left.

Looking at his back, Lei Yuanwai let out a hard breath.

Lei Yuanwai called Xiao Er again, ordered a jug of wine and two or three dishes, and drank slowly to suppress his excitement.

But no amount of alcohol could calm his urgency.

Finally, after a quarter of an hour or so, I finally saw Lai Fu coming back: Master, the carriage is waiting outside.

Lei Yuanwai hurriedly threw down a piece of broken silver, and went out with Laifu.

Not far away, under a big signboard, there were two men standing, none other than the two who just said in the restaurant that Xin Linwei was looking for someone.

Let's go! The two turned and left, and after a while, they walked into a dilapidated small inn.

The two went up to the second floor, walked into a guest room, and saw Liang Wang and Mr. Zhou sitting at the table.

The matter is done? Liang Wang said lightly.

Yes. Yan Dong and Yan Xi wiped off the blackness on their faces. Yan Dong said: Look at the greedy appearance of that Lei Yuanwai, he will definitely do it.

King Liang snorted coldly.

When he found out Yunxia's experience back then, King Liang wished he could raze the entire Hongjiao Building to the ground, and even more wished he could tear the human trafficker Huang Sigou into pieces.

But at that time, Mr. Zhou stopped him, saying that Chu Yunpan's face would attract the attention of others one day. If the Emperor Gou was to investigate it, if there were no clues or origins, the Emperor Gou's character would only I was even more suspicious, thinking that someone deliberately erased her origin.

At that time, I would rather kill by mistake than let it go.

Therefore, Liang Wang only took revenge and tortured to death the widower who bought her and the butcher who sold her into the green banana building, leaving Huang Sigou as a dog.

And this Lei family was carefully selected among so many missing girls, and it was the place where her origin was hidden the most. Although the Lei family is rich and powerful, Master Lei has no brothers or sisters. Although Master Lei later gave birth to several sons, they were young twenty years ago, so none of them can remember the appearance of the missing sister.

...

Lei Yuanwai took Fulai in a carriage and arrived at the city mansion in a short while.

Just now I heard from those two people that they saw that Lord Long of the Golden Scale Guard at the city government yamen, and they wanted to investigate the group of girls who disappeared back then, so they had to find the dossiers at the yamen.

As a businessman, he naturally had to deal with the government, even if the government didn't recognize him, he had to give gifts to the government.

Fortunately, he has some friendship with the magistrate's master.

When he came to the city mansion, Lei Yuanwai asked Laifu to come to Gao Shiye's mansion, invited him out for a drink, and asked him to ask him for business matters.

If someone gives you money, there's nothing wrong with it.

Lei Yuanwai invited Master Gao to the best wine in the city, ordered the best food and drink, casually asked Master Gao for a few unimportant things, and gave him a generous gift.

Master Gao saw such a generous gift, and it was too simple for Lei Yuanwai to ask him, so the two happily drank and talked there.

When Master Gao was drunk, Yuanwai Lei said: I went to the city early this morning, but I saw some people coming and going in your yamen. You must be busy, so I didn't dare to go in and disturb you. .It is now afternoon, and I guessed that you would be free, so I asked you out for a drink.

Master Gao's tongue became a little dizzy from drinking, and it wasn't a secret, so he kept nodding his head: Yes! I haven't slept since yesterday afternoon, until now last night, I'm so busy that I can't tell the difference between southeast and southeast. Northwest.

Those people tell you to look through files? Lei Yuanwai asked tentatively.

Master Gao was drunk, and didn't know how he knew those people were flipping through the files, so he just nodded: No, there are some old cases, the trafficker case from more than 20 years ago, including taking Go out with a few rosters. Like Master Li, Master Li, Master Li...

Hey, it's Master Li anyway.

How do I know, anyway, the surname is Li, or Lei. I don't know what they are looking for.

When Lei Yuanwai heard that he had his surname, his face flushed with excitement. anything else?

What's left, there's nothing left. Master Gao waved his hand, After digging through a lot of things, they went out. Hey, why do you ask this?

Lei Yuanwai's old face froze, and he just smiled and said, Drink, drink!

Lei Yuan's heart fluttered out.

Sure enough, there were Jinlin Guards in the capital who came to investigate the life experience of Aunt Zhenxihou!

And his own daughter was also among those girls who disappeared back then. I don't know how they got the clue, or they knew that it was a girl surnamed Li or Lei...

And his surname is Lei!

Soon, Jin Linwei will find his home, maybe it's his daughter!

Lei Yuanwai drank Gao Shiye a few more cups, until it was dark, Lei Yuanwai sent Master Gao home, and found a hotel for one night.

Early the next morning, he hurriedly drove the carriage back to the county seat.

...

However, Long Xiao and others got the rosters of those wealthy businessmen surnamed Li or Lei, and went to investigate them one by one with their subordinates.

After several days of investigation, Long Xiao returned to the inn that night, and his subordinates reported back one by one.

My subordinates have checked several rich merchants whose surnames are on the roster in the city mansion. Even now they are in decline, but none of the wealthy merchants twenty years ago lost their daughters.

My subordinates checked the following three counties, including Hexiang County, and found that the daughter of a rich businessman surnamed Li was missing, but he was asked to identify the portrait, but he said it was not the person in the painting.

The people below reported one by one that most of those with the same surname had no missing persons, and only three families had been missing, but none of them were her.

Which one is left? Long Xiao asked.

Now only Dongzao County is left, where there is a family surnamed Li and a family surnamed Lei.

Then let's go tomorrow! Long Xiao sighed slightly, his eyes darkened, if the two counties are still not found...then the clue will be broken.

Did the trafficker remember wrongly? Isn't the surname Li or Lei?

Several people rested overnight, and early the next morning, they dragged their tired bodies to Dongzao County.

Since there were only two Dongzao families left, Long Xiao personally took people there.

Departing from the city mansion, they arrived in Dongzao County in an hour. They stayed in an inn and asked Xiao Er where Lei's house was.

After eating, Long Xiao led the people to Lei's house.

Lei's house is a spacious house with three entrances. Several people knocked on the door for a while, and then a young man came out to open the door. Seeing several tall middle-aged men visiting, he was startled.

The boy said, Who are you looking for?

Long Xiaodao took out a token: We are members of the government, and we need to ask your Patriarch for important matters.

When the young servant saw that it was the prefect's license plate, he was startled, and hurriedly said: Several officials, please come in quickly.

Long Xiao and the others nodded, followed the footsteps of the servant into the room.

If Emperor Zhengxuan hadn't asked them to hurry up and find out the truth within ten days, they wouldn't have come to investigate so clearly.

A few people were led into the wide hall by the servants, and they allowed the servants to serve tea, but they didn't sit down, they just said: Quickly ask your master to come out.

Immediately. The boy promised and turned around to go out.

After a while, two middle-aged men in their thirties walked in, but they were the first and second masters of the Lei family.

I heard that they are some officials. I don't know what kind of errand they are on? Mr. Lei stepped forward and asked.

Long Xiao only said lightly: Master Lei doesn't need to inquire, he just listens to us, it's just a short time.

The smiles on the faces of the Lei family brothers froze, and they answered: Yes.

Long Xiao took out a painting and opened it: Do you recognize the woman in the painting?

The two brothers were startled, squinted their eyes to recognize each other, they both shook their heads: I don't know.

Long Xiao and his two subordinates sighed slightly, and they will go to that Li's house later, if they still can't find them, they have to search again.

The old man is here. At this moment a voice sounded.

Looking back, Long Xiao saw an old man in silk clothes who was nearly sixty years old being helped out.

When the Lei brothers saw him, they hurried over to support him, and the old master Lei said, Father, are you okay?

Laifu came to me and said that some servants have come to the house. Lei Yuanwai looked at Long Xiao as he spoke.

You guys, don't take offense. My dad got a cold yesterday, so he looked a little bad, and he was late. Second Master Lei said.

Nothing. Long Xiao said calmly, picked up the painting again, and held it in front of Master Lei: Master Lei, please take a look, do you recognize the woman in the portrait?

Lei Yuan looked out and saw that his old face was startled, then his face turned pale and his eyes widened.

no!

Lei Yuanwai almost fell to the ground!

Ever since I heard the conversation of those two people who had returned from the capital, and then went to see the teacher, it was confirmed that Zhen Xihou was looking for his grandfather.

Later, when he learned that he was also on the list, he was full of anticipation.

I even asked Laifu to keep an eye on Long Xiao's movements, knowing that this group of people had checked from Chengfu, Hexiang County, Heishan County... and other counties, and they were the last one in Dongzao County, and they were the only ones surnamed Lei and Li two.

Long Xiao and the others searched for the above but found no results, and he had inquired, and the old Li's family in the east of the county did not lose their daughter. Then, the fact that Zhenxihou's aunt is his daughter has become more and more certain!

Lei Yuanwai was so excited that he couldn't sleep well for several days. In order to hide his lack of energy, he pretended that he had a cold.

Today, Long Xiao and others finally came to visit.

He was looking forward to it, waiting to see his daughter's portrait being unfolded in the hands of Long Xiao and others.

In the end, what he saw... was a strange woman! ! !

Lei Yuanwai felt dizzy, he should be the grandfather of Zhenxihou...

What I was looking forward to, I waited for several days, but it failed.

Old Master Lei? Long Xiao and the others were excited when they saw Lei Yuanwai's shocked appearance, What's wrong? Do you recognize him?

Master Lei, do you recognize him? Long Xiao's subordinates were also encouraged by Lei Yuanwai's abnormal expression, and they found it! found it!
