Sir, I can do it!

It is a blessing to have a long-lost daughter found again.But that Jinmao was so embarrassing not long after she entered the Zhou Mansion, and in the end it was related to Zhou Yan's disappearance.Then the whereabouts of Jinmao in the past few years of disappearance became the key.

Who did she do things for and who was instigated by him? Once it was found out, it would be known who Zhou Yan was captured by.Up to now, Wei Zhao can basically confirm that the purpose of the person who robbed Zhou Yan is the Zhen Guo Hou Mansion.Then the accomplices in the Fan Lou murder case must also be these people.

Wei Zhao asked Xiao Wu: "Have you seen that Jinmao?"

Xiao Wu shook his head: "Grandma Jin's daughter came back and said she didn't want to live with her brother at her mother's house. The shopkeeper Jin's mother-in-law didn't want to add food and drink for nothing, so she wanted to find a manager and arrange it in any Zhuangzi of the Zhou family. , but Granny Jin took her life to force her, so she had no choice but to spend a lot of money to send him to the Zhou Mansion. Later, I heard that the shopkeeper Jin was promoted, and Granny Jin’s family also moved out. Today is after they moved out This is the first time I met Granny Jin."

"Then, have you ever heard of where Jin Nanny lives? How did you get here in Shengjing?"

Xiao Wu was clever and loved gossip, so Chen Da left him nearby Huichun Hall to inquire about news.Chen Da and the others just listened to the matter of Grandma Jin's house and let it go, but Xiao Wu didn't know it. He was very leisurely and leisurely.So even though it was unintentional, he really knew a lot about Nanny Jin.Of course, Wei Zhao is also very aware of the moisture in it.

But Changsun Ke said, true and false, false and true.Although Golden Nanny will definitely fake her identity, it may not be all fruitless.

According to Xiao Wu, Nanny Jin has been missing for more than eight years. She was 13 years old when she was lost, and she is only 21 years old now.But after suffering a lot, he looks like a 30-year-old.Nanny Jin was abducted, and then sold to a theater troupe, beating and scolding all day long and still not getting enough to eat, so Nanny Jin fled at night.But she left her hometown and was penniless, so she had to sell herself to work as a maid in a family.Later, the head of the family committed a crime and the whole family was exiled. They were sold as servants by the government, and she was sold to Tongzhou...

Wei Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, and already had a general direction in his mind.By investigating Miss Wednesday's case, he interrogated all the maids and mother-in-law of the Zhou Mansion. The Jin family, who had just entered the mansion and became the master's confidant mother, was interrogated more carefully.

She seemed to have known this beforehand, she asked what she asked and answered what she asked, and what she explained was roughly in line with what Xiao Wu said, but it was more detailed.

After receiving the confession, Wei Zhao immediately went to Cao Ying and asked him to mobilize the Min County forces to investigate one by one.Those people in Minxian County were the former members of the Cao family, and the dark forces in Shengjing who were staring at Zhen Guohou's Mansion and Nan Mansion must not have imagined that there were other people under Wei Zhao's subordinates.In this way, the investigation of these things will be very smooth.In just ten days, Wei Zhao got the first-hand information.

Most of what the Jin family said is well-documented, but she is just a maid after all, and there are many maids and servants in the house, not to mention that the masters she served were exiled, and some of them lost their wealth after business failures. , it is even more difficult to verify.This is also the cleverness of the Jin family. As long as one or two places are checked correctly, other places can be fooled by vague words.

But Wei Zhao naturally wouldn't check to see if Mrs. Jin had ever stayed in this house or served in that house.What he wants to check is the person who has been in contact with the Kim family for eight years.Jin Shi is so careful, the people behind her will only be more cautious.So Wei Zhao did not find such a person after integrating the news sent below, but he found a common point.

Wherever the Kim family has been in these years, there have been cases of missing women.It's just that most people think this matter is insulting to the family tradition, even if they find their daughter back, they will lose their innocence, and they simply didn't even report to the official.However, two of them reported to the officials, but the news disappeared, and no one ever recovered it.

Thinking of the 'goods' that Cao Ying found at Qingjiang Estuary, Wei Zhao's eyes flashed.

The carriage passed by Qingshui Street, if Wei Zhaoding opened the curtain to see the excitement outside, but today he lost interest in thinking about things.On the contrary, Huo Bao'er perfectly inherited the advantages of his young master, poised his head to watch the excitement, and sniffed from time to time.No way, the smell of fried lamb intestines is too good.

A carriage overtook from behind, blocking Huo Baoer's sight.He was a little unhappy, but when he saw the carriage style, he let out a surprised 'huh'.

It just so happened that Wei Zhao came to his senses and heard it. He thought that Huo Bao'er had discovered something interesting, so he rushed over to have a look, but he saw that the street was calm.

He knocked Ho Bo'er on the head: "What did you see just now?"

Huo Bo'er rubbed the back of her head and said indifferently, "A carriage."

"What's so strange about the carriage?"

Huo Bao'er said blankly: "It's nothing unusual."

Wei Zhaobai glanced at him: "Then what are you 'huh'? This young master thought there was something exciting to watch."

Huo Bao'er was stunned, and said: "Just looking at the carriage, it looks familiar. Bao'er seemed to have seen it the first time we went to visit Mr. Cao early in the morning. It was only dawn at that time, and there was no one on the street, except for our carriage. There are two carriages coming from the opposite side. The wood of the carriage is good and the carriage is spacious, but there is no sign, so I don’t know which family it belongs to. Bao’er took a few extra glances.”

"It's also on Qingshui Street?"

Huo Bao'er nodded: "It's near the Zhangjia teahouse."

Wei Zhao suddenly remembered what Xiao Wu said that night at the candied fruit shop, he seemed to hear something happening in the morning... Wei Zhao made a quick decision: "Follow that car."

Hou Fu's handlebars are highly skilled, and he still drives smoothly on Qingshui Street with people coming and going.Fortunately, there were many people on the street, and the carriage in front didn't go far.After following for a while, the car in front passed Wangyue Tower, then turned into Changsheng Street, and finally turned into an alley.Wei Zhao was afraid of being discovered, so he stopped continuing.

However, he opened up a new way of thinking and hurriedly called the coachman back home.

Huo Bao'er asked in a daze: "Aren't you going to Huguo Temple to get Buddhist scriptures for the old lady?"

Wei Zhao paused, turned his head to look at Huo Bao'er, and said, "You can pick it up when you pass by the Huguo Temple in a while."

The Huguo Temple is still far away from the Hou's Mansion, Huo Bao'er fumbled for the money bag, and had to pay for the money to hire a car again.So sad.

He reluctantly got off the car at the Huguo Temple, and Wei Zhao waved at him without any burden: "Go early and come back early, there is still a lot to do about the opening of the new shop."

Huo Baoer: ...

Wei Zhao urged the coachman to leave quickly, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the Tsing Yi scholar at the bookstall next to the Huguo Temple. He recalled it, and it seemed that he hadn't seen Ning Zhiyuan for a long time.He told the driver to go forward and stop by the bookstall.

The scholar in Tsing Yi thought that a customer was coming, and raised his head to greet him. Seeing that it was Wei Zhao, he even narrowed his eyes with a smile, and hurriedly got up to salute: "Master Wei."

Wei Zhao nodded slightly: "Why don't you see Mr. Ning?"

The scholar in Tsing Yi froze, and said reluctantly: "He went back to his hometown to worship his ancestors."

Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Going back to the hometown to worship the ancestors?!"

Although he is not familiar with Ning Zhiyuan, he has also heard that there is no one in his family, and he has been wandering alone for many years and has never returned to his hometown.Not to mention that he didn't accept the reward from the Hou Mansion, and he still only had the money he got from copying books every day, which was not enough to support him to go back to his hometown.

But he didn't say anything, just asked the scholar in Tsing Yi: "How long have you been away?"

The scholar in Tsing Yi thought for a while: "It must be more than ten days."

"Then did he say when he'll be back?"

The scholar in Tsing Yi shook his head, seeing Wei Zhao's expression was slightly condensed, thinking that he was unhappy and would rather Zhi Yuan leave.Gathering up his courage, he cupped his hands and said: "Although I am not as knowledgeable as Zhiyuan, I have studied hard for more than ten years. I am in a predicament now, but I have never given up on studying. If Lord Wei does not give up, I will recommend myself and I am willing to go to the house to replace you." Young Master Sun enlightened you."

Wei Zhao was thinking about Ning Zhiyuan and didn't hear what he said, but the coachman raised his eyelids and looked at him, wondering if this person is stupid with his studies?

Back then, Master Hou stayed with Mr. Ning, firstly Mr. Ning was kind to the Hou family for saving his life, secondly Mr. Ning was down and out and still had the character of a scholar.Besides, if you don't invite Mr. Ning, with the wealth of the Hou Mansion, it's not a matter of raising your hand to invite a great scholar to enlighten the young master. Is it worthwhile to invite an unknown scholar?

Seeing that his young master didn't respond, the coachman didn't want to embarrass the young man, so he kindly said: "Young master, I don't know, my Young Master Sun has already invited Mr."

The scholar in Tsing Yi's face turned red, and he hurriedly bowed: "I'm being rude."

Seeing him saluting suddenly, Wei Zhao didn't know what to do, nodded indiscriminately and got back into the car.

The scholar in Tsing Yi seemed to think of something, hurriedly chased after two steps and stopped the car.

Wei Zhao poked his head out: "Anything else?"

The scholar in Tsing Yi said: "Zhiyuan left the day after Miss Zhou's accident. To tell you the truth, Mr. Wei, I set up a stall with Zhiyuan Dong Yu in Huguo Temple for a long time. The relationship is not very close, but we understand each other. We We rent a yard together with Zhiyuan, if he is sensible and reasonable, he will say hello to me. But I see him leaving in a hurry, so saying that he is returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors is probably an excuse."

Wei Zhao said 'Oh': "Why do you think so?"

The scholar in Tsing Yi frowned and said: "It is said that a gentleman never speaks right and wrong behind his back, but Zhiyuan's actions are indeed suspicious. Speaking of which, Zhiyuan's knowledge is far higher than mine, and he behaves uprightly in the world. It's not like the past two years He was invited by a powerful family, but he was still unmoved. I understand Zhiyuan, for people like us who have no roots, the road to the imperial examination is difficult, but if you start from the staff, you also need to be cautious and choose a good tree to live in. "

"But as time passed, I discovered that Zhiyuan came to Beijing not for the imperial examinations, nor to invest in the powerful, and I didn't see him making friends. He set up a bookstall here all day long, but he got along well with the boy named Wenyu in Huichuntang before. I At that time, I couldn’t help paying attention to Zhiyuan. I didn’t notice it once or twice, but we set up a stall together and lived in the same place. After a long time, we will inevitably find some clues. He seems to be particularly interested in Huichuntang .”

"At first, I was only skeptical. Later, Huichuntang was copied, and Zhiyuan won the favor of Lord Zhenguo, but he still rejected the Houfu, and continued to set up bookstalls here, staring at Huichuntang intentionally or unintentionally, so I became more sure. I I don't know why he left in a hurry when something happened to Miss Zhou's family, but Miss Zhou's family has something to do with Crown Prince Wei, the villain is afraid that Zhiyuan will get into some trouble, so he has no choice but to tell the truth."

Wei Zhao's mind suddenly exploded, but his expression remained calm.He nodded to the scholar in Tsing Yi: "Thank you, I will pay more attention to this matter."

The scholar in Tsing Yi frowned, and returned a salute with Wei Zhao.

"By the way, I have passed by this place many times and I still don't know the name of the young master."

The scholar in Tsing Yi hurriedly said: "The villain, Qiao Li, is from Zizhou."

Wei Zhao thought for a while and said, "My nephew has already hired a gentleman, so it's not easy to ask someone else to enlighten him. If Mr. Qiao is willing, there is still a lack of a gentleman in my newly established school."

Qiao Li's eyes lit up, and he bowed to the end: "I wish to go, thank you Lord Wei for your kindness."
