Sir, I can do it!

"It's not good, it's not good, it's not good!" The boy from Huichun Hall ran back out of breath, pointed outside and said, "Here we come, we come again!"

Meng Guanshi immediately jumped up and said sharply, "Didn't you just leave!"

"Yes, yes, no, no." The boy ran away in a hurry, he was already out of breath, and couldn't even speak a word.

Guan Meng stomped his feet anxiously: "Is it something, you should tell me quickly!"

Just now, Wei Xuan led the people from Feihuying to search Qingshui Street, and Huichuntang naturally wouldn't miss it, but they didn't find any clues after searching inside and out.Only then did Guan Shi relax.Could it be that Wei Shizi found something and turned around now?

The young man finally got his breath, leaned on the wall and said, "It's the man from Chabei Mansion, and Chen Tieban is leading the team."

"Chen Tieban?" Steward Meng raised his voice, "What is he doing here?"

"He, I heard that before Banzhuxiang, someone reported to Beifu that Shusheng Ning, who was copying books for others outside Huguo Temple, was kidnapped, and it was in the area of ​​Qingshui Street. Didn't they bring people to search for it?"

"Chen Jinghuai?" Deputy Director Fang's voice came from outside the door, and Guanshi Meng quickly patted his thigh as if grasping at a straw: "Master Fang, you are finally here!"

Deputy Fang's face was gloomy, and he asked: "The news is correct? Are they here for Ning Zhiyuan?"

The young man said: "That's not true, everyone must have reached the intersection by now."

Guanshi Meng said 'Oops': "Scholar Ning must have known about us!"

Deputy Secretary Fang was quite calm, he said: "Da Chen went to Shuntian Mansion that day, and the Governor of Shuntian Mansion also gave me a thorough explanation. This matter will definitely make Chen Da unable to turn over, get out of Shengjing City .If Ning Zhiyuan really knew something, he must have told Chen Da early."

Meng Guanshi said worriedly: "What's the use of telling, they have no foundation and no money, as long as we have enough money, Shuntian Fu Yin will somehow sell face... I'm just worried that my boss will know about this, and we will definitely lose money Let's go."

Deputy Secretary Fang pondered for a moment: "Our idea will not alarm Prince Zhenguo Hou and Beifu Shaojian."

"Then why? It's been all night, and Qingshui Street has never stopped."

Deputy Fang was very upset.Now that the master is here, if Dong Yu's incident shows his flaws, he will have no good fruit to eat.It's just that the Meiyuan case and the Dong Yu case are both in charge of the Nanfu, so why is Chen Jinghuai here?

Unable to figure this out, Deputy Director Fang decided to deal with Ning Zhiyuan before making any further plans.

"What about people?"

"It's locked in the secret room."

"Take me to see."

Guanshi Meng asked the boy to hold the lamp, and the three of them sneaked to Guanshi Meng's room in the backyard of Huichun Hall.Lifting the bed board, there was a square entrance, Meng Guanshi went down tremblingly, looked at the white-clothed scholar on the ground by the dim candlelight, his face turned pale.

Afterwards, deputy director Fang came down to see him with such an expression, and followed his gaze to see the appearance of the man on the ground, and gasped immediately.

"How could it be him?!"

Wei Zhao had a long, long dream. Although it was still that nightmare, in the darkness and bloodshed, the boy with the sword was like a radiant star, dispelling the darkness for him.

"... Ke. It turned out to be him." He stroked the red string on his wrist, and a smile slowly emerged from the corner of his mouth.

After that incident, he had a high fever for several days, and when he woke up, he lost his memory of that time.Every time I dreamed about it in the future, it was always a stuffy box, a black flying squirrel hole, splashing blood, and a blurry figure of a young boy.

The strong smell of medicine in the room brought back Wei Zhao's scattered thoughts.He opened his eyes, but it was still dark.

With a faint pain in his head, Wei Zhao struggled to sit up, tentatively exploring.

There was a wooden cabinet at hand, which felt like rectangular boxes one after another. There was a copper ring in the middle of the box. He hooked the copper ring with his fingers and gently pulled it open. It was a drawer.He brought the tip of his nose closer and sniffed. This drawer contained an extremely rare medicinal herb called Xuesanqi.He opened the side drawer and touched it. Inside was dragon bone grass, followed by hundred li bamboo...

Any medicinal material here is worth hundreds of gold on the market. He still hasn't finished reading a small part of the "Book of Medicine" given to him by Changsun Ke, and he still can't identify some of the medicinal materials in this room.Wei Zhao opened the drawers one by one, and only picked up a few medicines he knew, crushed them into powder, mixed them together and hid them next to his body for self-defense.

Suddenly there was a noise above his head, and Wei Zhao hurriedly lay down back to his original place.

"...Why is he here!" Guanshi Meng kicked the boy. "Didn't I tell you to arrest Ning Zhiyuan!"

The little guy covered his buttocks and said: "Really, I saw Chen Da talking to him at that time!"

At that time, it was dark and the alley was dim, the boy was already guilty, so he stared at Wei Zhao when he saw that Wei Zhao was wearing Ning Zhiyuan's clothes.It happened that Chen Da also mistook Wei Zhao at that time and had a word with him.The little guy didn't think much about it, he knocked him out and carried him back to the Huichun Hall.

Deputy Director Fang's expression darkened: "Who the hell is this person?"

Meng Guanshi said: "It seemed that this person was quite familiar with the supervisor of the Nanfu, I just thought he was a rich man. Now the son of the prince of the town and the officials of the Beifu are looking for a young white-clothed scholar." Meng Guanshi narrowed his eyes. Eyes wide open: "Perhaps the person they are looking for is not Ning Zhiyuan, but him. But since this person is a son of a rich family, why is he dressed like this?"

The little guy rolled his eyes, and squinted: "I heard that those sons and daughters of high families have some special hobbies. This son is so handsome, he deliberately dressed up like this, and wandered around the bustling Qingshui Street... ..." The young man pointed to the east side: "Across Qingshui Street is Luohua Lane. There is a famous Songzhu Pavilion in Shengjing City there. Could it be for fun!"

Steward Meng slapped the boy twice, and said bitterly: "It's fun, it's fun, I think you look like fun. If you can tie someone up wrong, don't you think it's not enough trouble? Don't talk too much, Lao Tzu Sell ​​you to Luohua Lane."

"Okay!" Deputy Secretary Fang said in a low voice, "People from both parties on Qingshui Street are looking for someone, and we can't be sure who they are looking for. But this person doesn't look like an ordinary son of a wealthy family. .”

He thought for a while, then said: "Feed him a drunken ball, put a coat on him, and quietly throw him into Luohua Lane at night."

Although this move is risky, but under the premise of not knowing what the situation is, not to cause trouble is the most correct choice.

"Then go to Ning Zhiyuan's house to see if anyone is at home, and Mr. Chen and others. When I came, I saw them wandering around here. Be careful, don't let them find out."

"Okay. My lord, leave this to me. Chen Tieban still needs his help, and it will delay him for a while."

Deputy Secretary Fang glared at Guanshi Meng, and left the secret room with a cold snort.

……

The sergeants of Wei Xuan Feihu Camp are still searching, and the scope is gradually expanding beyond Qingshui Street.

Chen Jinghuai received a secret order from Hong Kun, saying that Huichuntang was involved in a case of imperial officials' corruption of ink, and asked him to come to collect evidence.As for the details of the specific case, it did not mention it, and it is not known who the officials involved in the case are.It only said that the scholar who copied books for others outside the Huguo Temple was tied up, and he was asked to use this excuse to search the area around Qingshui Street.

However, I heard that a few days ago, the Lord Supervisor of Nanfu was inquiring about Dong Yu's case in this area.

Guanshi Meng opened the door with a yawn. Seeing that it was Chen Jinghuai, he quickly bent down and smiled and said hello: "Your Excellency, I don't know why you came so late?"

"Looking for someone." Chen Jinghuai didn't say much, he just waved behind him, and Cheng Meng led a team to search.

Meng Guanshi said: "Master Chen is also looking for a white-clothed scholar? The son of Wei from Zhen Guohou's mansion also brought someone here."

When Chen Jinghuai came to Qingshui Street, he naturally ran into people from Feihuying. He still doesn't understand why the people from Zhen Guohou's Mansion are looking for that white-clothed scholar. Could it be the case of Meiyuan?

"My lord, I have searched everything, and there is nothing suspicious."

Chen Jinghuai made a straight face: "Have you checked everything carefully?"

"Yes, the backyard of Huichuntang is not big, and every room is complete without any special features."

Since Hong Kun specifically ordered him to go back and forth to the Spring Hall, there must be something unusual in it.Chen Jinghuai went to the backyard to check it himself, and it was exactly as Cheng Meng said.

"My lord, our Huichuntang is also a time-honored brand in Shengjing City, how can we do things that disregard the law." Meng Guanshi apologized.

Chen Jinghuai looked around in Manager Meng's room, and finally he found the mechanism under the bed, and Manager Meng's heart was raised in his throat.Xin Dao is worthy of being the Young Superintendent of the Beifu, with countless cases under his command, he has more thoughts than the straight-forward Prince Wei.

Lifting the bed board, the entrance to a secret room is impressive.Chen Jinghuai glanced at Cheng Meng with a look of concern.

Cheng Meng hurriedly lowered his head: "Dereliction of duty."

Chen Jinghuai ordered someone to light the oil lamp, and jumped out of the secret room first. The secret room was full of medicinal materials, and there were still some debris left on the floor.

Manager Meng hurriedly said: "My lord, these are the top medicinal materials of Huichuntang, they must not be damaged, otherwise the villain will be scolded by the boss."

"Who is your boss?"

Meng Guanshi said: "I've never seen the young one before, I only heard that the owner's surname is Lu. Oh, every time the account is checked and reconciled, the big housekeeper comes over."

Chen Jinghuai thought, if people were kidnapped in Huichuntang, it would really be a good place for Tibetans.When turning around to return to the room, Chen Jinghuai suddenly stopped.He squatted down, and by the dim oil lamp, he found a piece of white rag in a corner of the medicine cabinet, the cloth was rough...

Guanshi Meng took a breath, and hurriedly said: "The light in this secret room is dark, and there are wooden boxes, drawers, copper rings and the like everywhere, and it is inevitable that they will be hooked to the corners of the clothes."

Chen Jinghuai put away the broken pieces, then approached the medicine cabinet with the oil lamp, and tried to pull out a few drawers.

He glanced back at Manager Meng, and continued to pull out the drawer.Manager Meng complained endlessly.

These drawers were marked with serial numbers. He pulled and pushed the drawers one by one, and some drawers were often opened, so the slide rails were smooth and easy to pull and pull.And some drawers have hardly been used, and the slide rails are stiff when opened, accompanied by the sound of "squeak".

He observed the numbers on the easy-to-pull drawers, from small to large. At first glance, it seemed that there was no pattern, but carefully noticed that among these numbers, the second number was exactly double the first number plus one. And the third digit is twice the second digit plus two, and so on.He pulled the drawers in this order, but nothing happened.Pulling from high to low in reverse order, there is still no abnormality.

Chen Jinghuai frowned, could it be that he was thinking too much?

Guanshi Meng wiped off his sweat, stepped forward and said, "The medicinal herbs selected by your lord just now are often needed by the elders in Shengjing." Yes, my lord is young and full of vigor, so I don't think it is necessary to..."

Chen Jinghuai's face was black and red.There was indeed nothing suspicious here, so I had to lead the team back.

Director Meng let out a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the red lacquered wood medicine cabinet in the dim light, and muttered in his heart.
