The Plow

随着鹿同苍的死，这件案子逐渐浮出水面。

Jiang He hoped to kill Lu Tongcang with a single blow so that he could completely take over his power, and the foreigners also hoped to settle the matter thoroughly, so as not to have long nights and dreams. , but the thing that most reveals Lu Tongcang's crimes is the fact that he instigated his subordinates to kidnap and traffic people. It is not convenient for Jiang He to show up, but there must be someone who solves the case. The credit naturally falls on Lingshu.

从救人的角度来说，也的确是凌枢揭开了这个井盖。

“如果不是你，就没有那么多女子获救，她们也不可能重见天日，如孙太太等人，必定会受尽折磨而死，虽说施恩不望报，但好人好事也得广为流传，才能鼓励更多善行，你不必害羞……为什么这么看着我？”

Jiang He couldn't go on, facing Ling Shu's strange gaze, he couldn't help touching his face.

Did you go out today without shaving?

凌枢：“你这些话是谁教你背的？”

Jiang He: "So obvious? My new teacher taught me."

Ling Shu said the truth: "It's a little stiff, and it's not his own words that can be seen at a glance."

江河从善如流：“那我下回背熟一点。”

Ling Shu: ...

Jiang He was clearly pretending to be stupid.

To deal with thick-skinned people, you can only use the Spear of the Son to attack the Shield of the Son.

凌枢笑道：“江先生好算计，把我推到台前出风头，你自己却在后面躲清闲，这种新闻采访，对我来说没有任何好处，还是免了吧，什么采访，让你那些手下情人出面就好了，当英雄这么大的好处，就留给他们的，当你欠我个人情吧。”

Jiang He twitched the corner of his mouth: "It's fine as a subordinate, where is my lover, don't compare me with Lu Tongcang. If you don't like to show up, I will push it for you, but this is a great opportunity for you to make a name for yourself. You can Think about it carefully, the deer and the cang trees have fallen and the monkeys are scattered, and those people are too busy fleeing for their lives in time, and there will be no one who is loyal to him to come to you to settle accounts, you can rest assured."

凌枢：“打响名头从何说起？”

Jiang He was not in a hurry, first handed him the cigarette case, and after getting a negative answer from the other party, he lit another one himself, swallowed the cloud, and then opened his mouth slowly.

"Could it be possible for you to be content with the status quo all your life and be a little secretary and assistant by Yue Dingtang's side? Lingshu, you are not bad at it. You need to have skills and brains. Why bow your head under other people's roof? It's better to stand on your own , Open a detective agency, and I can introduce some rich ladies who lost their cats and dogs, caught their husbands, and the patrol room and the police station are too lazy to manage, but there are jobs with a lot of money for you, isn't it more nourishing than now?"

凌枢笑了笑，没接话。

江河也许是好意，但他这样说，明显不了解凌枢。

他如今千帆过尽，就剩下混吃等死得过且过一个爱好了。

如果非说还有执念，无非就是保护家人，再加上一个姓岳的。

“谢了，我好好考虑一下，新闻采访你随便找个人顶上吧，我就不露面了。”

江河见他要走，忙问：“那冯家的事情？”

Ling Shu waved his hand without looking back.

"got it!"

冯小姐这件事，光从江河这里听，是听不出个所以然的。

要打听冯家的消息，还有一个人比江河更靠谱。

Ling Shu had to ask clearly before deciding whether to accept the job.

Although he wasn't afraid of trouble, he didn't want to be led into a pit either.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Ling Shu wondered where to go for lunch. Although he was not hungry, he still had to eat lunch, especially if he could take advantage of it, there was absolutely no reason to pay for it himself.

他东晃荡一下，西晃荡一下，看着琳琅满目的零嘴儿也没下手，终于晃荡到市局门口，进去一看，办公室是空的，岳定唐没在。

He is at two o'clock and one line every day, either at the city bureau or at the school. No one here is sure to be there. Ling Shu went to school again, but he was in vain. The professor in the same office told him that a female student came Looking for it, Yue Dingtang went out with him.

Teacher-student romance is not an isolated case these days. There are also some celebrities in the society who had relationships with female students during their tenure as professors. People in the market always talk about such stories, but the number is small after all. When the professor spoke, he brought It's an indescribable meaning, as if waiting to see a good show, and seems to be certain that something will happen between Yue Dingtang and the female student.

奈何凌枢心不在焉，根本没听出他的弦外之音，让教授一腔八卦共享之心无处发泄，甚是失落。

After running these two trips, Ling Shu was a little hungry. He left the school, and was going to find a small restaurant nearby to deal with it casually. He passed by a cafe by accident, but saw two people sitting by the window.

One of them was the culprit that caused the dull pain in his waist and spine last night.

Sitting opposite Yue Dingtang was a young and beautiful female student.

依稀还有点面善。

Ling Shu stood there recalling, the person behind the glass saw him.

The female student happened to be facing him, raised her eyebrows when she saw this, got up in surprise, and waved to him, signaling him to go in.

凌枢也想起来了，上回他去岳定唐学校找人，途遇这个姑娘，对方正是岳定唐的学生。

"Miss Xiao, please stay safe."

凌枢甫一进去就问候对方，萧月发现他还记得自己，便也更高兴了。

只是这高兴之中，还夹带几分忧心忡忡。

"Hello, Mr. Ling."

Xiao Yue hurriedly stood up to pay her respects, very polite and well-mannered.

"Miss Xiao, you're welcome, did I bother you?"

Xiao Yue glanced at Yue Dingtang, saw that the teacher was silent, and hurriedly said: "No! I asked Professor Yue to come here for something, and I just wanted to ask Mr. Ling for your help. I am so happy to meet you. !"

“是冯小姐的事情，萧月是她的闺蜜，想让你帮忙。”岳定唐终于接话。

His attitude was a little cold.

Xiao Yue might not be able to see it, but Ling Shu could tell it at a glance.

For a moment Ling Shu couldn't figure out whether the other party's indifference was aimed at Xiao Yue or himself.

"Which Miss Feng are you talking about?"

虽然刚刚从江河那里听到这件事，但凌枢还是再次确认一下。

萧月：“就是冯家三小姐，闺名冯珍珠。”

冯家和萧家乃是世交，萧月跟冯珍珠自小一起长大，感情也非同一般。

不过萧月爱读书，成绩也好，就上了大学，冯小姐志不在此，读了个中学毕业已经不错，她和吴家四公子吴蓬两情相悦，可谓金童玉女，两家人都喜闻乐见，绝不至于发生什么门当户不对的闹剧。

吴蓬一表人才，学的是建筑学，还准备出国深造，两人商量好，冯小姐打算结婚后就随丈夫出国，夫唱妇随，珠联璧合。

But the good times didn’t last long. Wu Peng accidentally fell from a high place when he went to the field with his teacher to collect wind. He was seriously injured and died. Ms. Feng lost her fiancé before she officially entered the family. .

“这件事当时我看过报纸报道过，的确很可惜。”凌枢道。

Xiao Yue nodded, with a gloomy expression.

"After this incident, Pearl was depressed for a long time. No matter how much I tried to persuade her, I couldn't cheer her up. I was afraid that she would commit suicide. When she was not in school, I would accompany her almost every day, and I would visit her when I had time after school. But some time ago, She suddenly got better gradually, and she is going to be engaged to the fifth son of the Wu family, I am also happy for her that she can get out of the gloom."

"Wait," Ling Shu interrupted when he heard this, "You said the fifth son of the Wu family belongs to the former Wu Peng—"

"Brother." Xiao Yue added, "But it's not from the same mother. Minister Wu had a third-bedroom wife, and the long-term house was booked by his hometown. After he came out of the revolution, he married another one. Two years later, this wife died of dystocia. He married another."

Although Minister Wu is getting older, he has not changed his romantic nature. Many women are willing to bear children for him regardless of their status, not even for his power and wealth, but for his own charm.

Discussing the right and wrong of her elders behind her back, Xiao Yue looked slightly embarrassed: "Wu Peng's fourth son was born to the second wife, and Wu Fei, the fifth son of Wu, was born to this wife."

The marriage partner is also the Wu family, and they are brothers before and after, so the two families naturally have no objections.

But Xiao Yue didn't look right.

"Actually, I can't really say it. It's just that seeing Pearl get along with Wu Wu is quite happy, but sometimes she feels lost when she is alone, and her mind is at a loss. I think she dare not regret the marriage because of the marriage contract and the friendship between the two families. The best thing to do is the next best thing, but she told me that Wu Peng is back."

Ling Shu: "What do you mean? Wu Peng is not dead?"

Xiao Yue shook her head: "How is it possible? I attended his funeral. I couldn't understand it, so I asked her, but she refused to say it directly. I still remember what Wu Peng said when he came back. A little cold."

凌枢：“这是什么时候的事情？”

Xiao Yue: "It was about ten days ago. I haven't seen her since then. I only learned about her disappearance from her family yesterday."

一个单身女子失踪，家人自然是不肯大肆宣扬的，一来为了女子名节着想，二来为了家族声誉，要不是冯家关系大，在巡捕房那里挂上号，又爆出春山会的事情，两者也许都不会被联系起来，冯珍珠可能永远都要消失在茫茫人海里。

Ling Shu felt that the information she could get from Xiao Yue was enough, at least to prove that Jiang He was not lying, and she probably didn't know the details, so she had to ask Feng's family or Sister Rong.

Xiao Yue said: "Mr. Ling, I know that you are very good at solving crimes, better than those policemen and police."

凌枢好笑：“我也是警察。”

萧月脸红，凌枢这“游手好闲不务正业”得她都快忘了对方的本职。

“此事还请你帮帮忙，冯家现在也在悬红找人，我可以为您牵线联系。”

赶在凌枢答复之前，岳定唐忽然插话进来。

"Let's eat first, and we'll talk after we finish."

Ling Shu pretended: "Will you disturb the two of you?"

岳定唐横他一眼：“我说打扰你就会走吗？”

凌枢：“那你可以先帮我和萧小姐点一桌菜，咱们分桌吃，互不干扰。”

Yue Dingtang really wanted to pinch his playful face, but with outsiders around, he could only think about it.
