Since I met you, people are dying every day

Ye Sirui had already made preparations, but when he took the note, his fingers still trembled slightly.

Stay out of your own business and he can save his life.

There is only such a sentence, and there is no information such as ransom or hostage exchange.Ye Sirui became panicked, the development of the situation had gone beyond his imagination, and the most terrifying thing was going out of control.have a finger in the pie?What counts as nosy?He came to Lin County and already solved two murder cases and countless trivial matters, but these are all the county magistrate's job.It's too vague, and if you don't pay attention a little bit, Kuang'er may be killed by thieves.His palms were sweaty and sticky.

I can't tell the handwriting, it's not a familiar person.But he is not a familiar person, how did he get over the yamen servant and put the note into his bedroom?

"Is Ma Lu back?" Ye Sirui asked.

Guan Yan said: "My lord...the coachman is back."

"Bring him to see me!"

Guan Yan gave him another worried look before walking away.Ye Sirui held the note in his hand, watched it get wet, and then clamped it with his fingers.

The paper is ordinary paper, and there is nothing fancy about it.Mo... He held the note up to his nose and sniffed it. It was Jing Xiangmo?Jingxiang ink is an excellent product for writing. Various spices are added to the ink. It is dark in color, bright and fragrant. It can also be used as medicine. It has the effect of cooling blood and stopping bleeding.The ink Ye Sirui uses is exactly this kind, and needs to be purchased from the capital.From this point of view, the kidnappers are from the capital?He frowned thoughtfully.

"Master Ye." With a wailing sound, a person fell to his feet and knelt down with a plop. "Small incompetence, Young Master Ye has been robbed!"

Ye Sirui raised his head and nodded at the Malu behind him, and asked him with suppressed anger, "Tell me, what's going on."

Ma Yi, the coachman, was picked out by Ma Lu. His brother from the same family is usually a courageous and resourceful man, but he was obviously scared out of his wits and stumbled when he spoke. "Yesterday I set off to pick up the young master as usual, but he said he wanted to go to a place first, and asked me how the antiques sold in Yanyun Pavilion were. I said that it was getting late and the road was not on the way, so I might as well go back to my lord and go tomorrow. But he insisted going to..."

Ye Sirui hated his evasive responsibilities. "Stop talking nonsense and keep talking."

"Yes, yes, I drove the car and took the young master to the Yanyun Pavilion in the city. The young master bought an inkstone..."

"What kind of inkstone?" Ye Sirui asked.

"It's a she inkstone, in the shape of a longevity...shou peach."

Ye Sirui asked him to continue with a sullen face.Kuang'er is not short of money, but he rarely buys things without telling himself.What did he buy She inkstone for?The shape of birthday peach is not for Kuang'er's own use, could it be given to him?

"It was very late after I came out, and I wanted to hurry up, but someone set a horse nail in front!"

His voice was sad and angry, but Ye Sirui was silent.It seemed that this was a well-prepared, long-planned kidnapping.Horse nails hurt the soles of the horses, and the carriages cannot be used.Ma Yi staggered out of the car, grabbed Ye Kuang and ran out.I didn't know how far they ran in a hurry, a tripping rope was set in the grass, and Ma Yi was tripped and fell over.When he woke up, Ye Kuang beside him had disappeared.

They went to buy inkstones and deviated from the main road back to the county government. Ma Lu took the government servants to search for them all night but failed to find them.It was not until Ma Yi woke up and went back to the academy along the road to find someone.

Ye Sirui said: "Take him down and deal with him as you like. I don't want to see him anymore."

"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!" Ma Yi knelt down and cried.Although Ye Sirui didn't say that he was going to kill him, losing Ye Kuang was the most serious dereliction of duty, seventy or eighty half of his life was gone after being whipped.Ma Lu shouted harshly: "What do you call it? There are no rules!" He was resenting this person for neglecting his duties, and even himself, the person who recommended him, couldn't make Ye Sirui look good, so he immediately tied his hands roughly, and picked him up. sent him to execution.

"Don't destroy it." Ye Sirui stopped them again, "First whip thirty, and then take him to the place he said, and see if you can find the carriage. If you can't find it..." He stared at the horse. Yi's gaze made even Ma Lu fearful, but he didn't finish the sentence, letting them imagine. "Look around to see if there are any footprints or marks left behind." Kuang'er was always alert, so he might be able to leave clues.

"Yes."

Ye Sirui was lost in thought.He was still thinking about the words on the note.Did the kidnappers tie Kuang'er just to tell him not to meddle in his own business?Then this has not happened yet, and what he has not yet intervened in is...

"Guanyan." He called the servant, who immediately appeared in front of him, "My lord, what are your orders?"

"You write a note and bring it to the Marquis of Anshun." He Ying should be in the academy now, right? "No, take it to Songhe Academy and ask He Ying to call Xia Shu back to me. No matter where he goes, whether he takes water or land, call me back! The sooner the better!"

In the afternoon, Guanyan came back with He Ying.

"Why are you here?" Ye Sirui had an ominous premonition in his heart.

He Ying let out a long sigh, with a serious expression, completely different from usual. "After much deliberation, I'd better go there myself. It's more convenient for you to beat and scold me."

This opening statement is rather unusual.He Ying handed him two posts. "The old man invites you to drink." Ye Xiancheng personally came to visit, saying that he wanted to have wine with you." Ye Sirui accepted the birthday banquet invitation from Marquis Anshun.Where is this? "Okay." Then I had to go.Marquis Anshun asked his youngest son to personally send the invitation card, it would be too ignorant to refuse to go.

"Xia Shu won't be able to come back for a while." He Ying said.

"What did you say!?"

"He's fine, don't worry, listen to me." He Ying quickly explained, "It has been raining for days and the river is turbulent. They walked the canal just against the wind, and the waves were dangerous. The boatman dared not go. I don't know when I will be back."

I think he was depressed because of the birthday ceremony.Ye Sirui thought about Ye Kuang's whereabouts were unknown, and Xia Shu's return was nowhere in sight, "How about going by land?"

He Ying looked at him like a monster. "Are you kidding me? The boat and the boatman are mine. Are you going to leave them all by land?"

Ye Sirui just wanted to tell Xia Shu to come back alone, but felt it was inappropriate, so he had to shut up.He panicked.He let go of the invitation and threw it aside, only to find that Dahong's post was crumpled by him.

"What happened to you?"

He Ying must be sizing him up.Ye Sirui was anxious and helpless and had no one to tell.He remembered the words on the note: Don't mind your own business.What is nosy?That's my nephew! "My nephew was kidnapped." He said briefly.

He Ying was shocked, and kept asking him what was going on.He had no choice but to tell him what Ma Yi had said, only omitting the section about the discovery note.Even so, He Ying was both startled and terrified, "Dare to attack the magistrate's relatives in broad daylight, lawless, really lawless."

Ye Sirui didn't agree with him.Things have happened, what can be done.He just wanted Ye Kuang to come back.

"I'll go home and tell my dad!" He Ying was filled with indignation, and Ye Sirui pressed his arm in desperation, "You might as well let Xia Shu come back alone."

He Ying obviously found his words unreasonable, "If all the guards in the Marquis of Anshun's Mansion can't find the child, why do you think he can find it when he comes back alone?"

Ye Sirui didn't know how to answer him.Yes, if Xia Shu is here, how can he help?Ye Sirui couldn't think of it either.This trust came from something unclear, it may be due to Xia Shu's outstanding skills, or it may be due to Xia Shu's proficiency in medical skills.But these skills seem to be useless right now.He hesitated.

He Ying was inexplicably agitated, "You don't want my father to know, then I will find a way for you." He thought for a while. "My family has a dog with a very keen sense of smell. He can smell the things lost in my house all the way to find them back. You ask someone to take it to the place where your nephew disappeared. It has smelled your nephew's personal belongings, maybe You can find him by following the taste."

This is a way.Ye Sirui thanked him.But He Ying snorted a few times and walked away.When he returned from the afternoon hall, the servants of Anshunhou's family had brought a big yellow dog named Ah Huang over.The dog was very strong and could reach Ye Sirui's knee with its head raised.Ma Lu sent someone to say that the carriage had been found.Ye Sirui asked someone to take Ye Kuang's coat and give it to Ah Huang.Ah Huang held her head high, with a pair of small round eyes, she looked very fierce, and the servant girls in the room didn't dare to get close to her. It was Wang Momo who came over with the inner coat and put it under the big dog's head. give it a sniff.Ye Sirui told another team of horses to take Ah Huang to Ma Lu.Kuang'er also brought the undershirt for them.He watched them set off, and his heart was still heavy.He tapped his chest lightly with his hand.

"The young master is auspicious, and nothing will happen." Wang Momo said softly as she stood beside him when she returned to the room.

When Grandma Wang was breastfeeding Ye Kuang, she had just given birth to her fifth child. She was already 30 years old, but she still had enough milk and water.In fact, Ye Kuang didn't drink milk for long.It's just that Ye Sirui fell in love with Wang Momo's calmness and ability to teach servants that is not commensurate with her age.Ye Kuang drifted away with Ye Sirui when he was two years old. Ye Sirui is a bachelor who can't even take care of himself. How does he know how to take care of children?So I brought Mother Wang along with me.When he was busy with the imperial examination, Madam Wang accompanied Kuang'er.Grandma Wang watched him grow up, and she didn't need Ye Sirui to love him any less.

So it seems that he is not as calm as a nanny.Ye Sirui laughed at himself.Seeing him like this, his father must be very disgusted, right?

He recalled when Kuang'er was a child, and when he was young, he almost shed tears for a moment.

He missed Xia Shu again.How nice it would be if the summer was comfortable.Even if Ye Kuang can't be found, at least Xia Shu can give him some comfort.Maybe a bowl of tea, a smile.Or do nothing, just listen to him silently, he knows Xia Shu can understand.

He was upset for a while, and wanted to ask He Ying to call Xia Shu back, but for a while, his calmness prevailed, telling him that it was useless for Xia Shu to rush back, and it was better to go back with the team, at least safe—safe, what he hoped most now It is these two words.His heart seemed to be torn in two, pulled back and forth, entangled back and forth, ups and downs, fifteen buckets overturned, all contending in his ears.

Brother, if I really can't protect Kuang'er, how will I have the face to see you underground in the future.

His face was slightly hot, and he realized that he was really crying.
