Lucky husband

Of course, when Mrs. Li came to look for Jiang Zhiyun, of course she didn’t just tell her that the Bai family’s child was also missing. She frowned tightly and continued to ask: “Brother Jin, did you go to see Brother Qiu this afternoon?” gone?"

Jiang Zhiyun thought about it for a while, wiped away her tears and said, "Well, before he went out, he said that he was going to find Brother Qiu, and the two of them often go to the back mountain to play recently."

Old lady Li nodded: "I see, you take Kang'er well at home, I'll go to see the second brother's house."

Looking at Old Madam Li's expression, Jiang Zhiyun suddenly had a bad feeling: "Mother, Brother Qiu, Brother Qiu..."

Did Brother Qiu disappear?

Old Madam Li looked back at Jiang Zhiyun with a solemn expression: "Someone found Qiu Ge'er's small basket and the Bai family's shoulder pole on our way to the back mountain."

"Third daughter-in-law, remember, no matter who comes to ask, you will say that you don't know anything, and you can't mention a word about that letter to outsiders!"

If it's just that their children disappeared and people knew that there was such a letter, it would be fine, but if three children disappeared at once, in case of any bad consequences, then...

That night, old man Li, old lady Li and Jiang Zhiyun hardly slept all night.

Early the next morning, before dawn, old man Li drove his borrowed mule cart to Lingyun Mountain with his wife and third daughter-in-law.

Hurrying quickly, she arrived outside the temple when the gate of Lingyun Temple opened, and before the mule cart stopped, Jiang Zhiyun couldn't wait to jump out of the cart and run into Lingyun Temple.

As soon as she stepped into the threshold of Lingyun Temple, Jiang Zhiyun saw a figure full of Zen standing in the gate: "This female benefactor, please stay."

This person was the great monk Jiang Zhiyun and Li Chengshi had met, and he was the one who gave the three amulets to Li Mingjin.

Jiang Zhiyun's eyes lit up, and she looked at the great monk excitedly: "Master, my child was kidnapped, I..."

"Female benefactor, don't worry. Uncle Kong has gone out for a walk. Before he left, he told me that the female benefactor will come to the door today. Let me bring you a word, saying that the little benefactor is fine, and you don't need to worry too much." Putting palms together, silently recited the Buddha.

"Master, my son was taken away by gangsters, and now his life and death are unknown, how can I not worry." Jiang Zhiyun's eyes were red.

Brother Jin is still so young, he has never left home, and he doesn't know what kind of life he spends outside, how could she, a mother, not be worried.

Mrs. Li walked up to the great monk and made a Buddhist salute, and asked, "Master, not only my children were taken away, but also the children of my second brother's family, the children of another family in the same village, and my son. The children of my colleagues, they have all been taken away, will everything be fine?"

"Well, nothing will happen." The great monk smiled kindly at the old lady Li. He remembered that Uncle Kong said that the little benefactor Li has great blessings, and his luck will affect the people around him.

"With Master's words, my heart will be relieved, so I will take my daughter-in-law back." Mrs. Li thanked Master Kong again, and left with Jiang Zhiyun.

Having the master's words was like a reassurance. On the way down the mountain, Mrs. Li said to the old man, "Old man, you can go to the county later and tell the third child what the master said."

"Okay." Old man Li nodded in agreement.

……

The county government office also welcomed two unexpected guests—Da Liangtou and Zhou Xiang.

The two of them also set off from the cottage before dawn, and it was still early when they arrived outside the county government office, but the gate of the county government office had already been opened at this time, and the noise inside was full of crying and talking.

When the curfew was lifted early in the morning, those families who had lost their children ran outside the county office to make a fuss, asking the magistrate to find their children back.

If these people who came to make trouble were ordinary people, the officials of the county government could calm them down by playing prestige, but this time the people who came were their own relatives, and the officials could do nothing about it, which made the county Yamen is as noisy as a market.

Since noon yesterday, all the officials of the county government have been mobilized to look carefully at the places where the child was missing to see if they can find any clues.

The other party was very careful and experienced. The guards almost searched the entire Changping County, but they couldn't find any useful clues. It made some people who had committed crimes before feel uneasy, and they took the initiative to go to the county government to say a few things. their guilt.

In the face of a big case like the disappearance of more than two dozen children, Zhao Chengze didn't care about the trivial matters in the county at all, so he directly let the master handle it.

Last night, Zhao Chengze didn't fall asleep almost all night, and over twenty children disappeared at once. As soon as he lay down, he kept thinking about where these children might be, and closed his eyes for a while when the sky was slightly bright.

At this moment, Zhao Chengze's head was throbbing with pain. Seeing the noisy yamen and the helpless servants, Zhao Chengze simply walked out the back door and went out of the county yamen to see where the children disappeared.

Daliangtou and Zhou Xiang had seen Zhao Chengze's portrait and found that Zhao Chengze had walked out of the county government office, so they quickly followed behind him.

At this time, the guard behind Zhao Chengze whispered something in his ear.

Zhao Chengze narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his eyes to think for a while, walked through two busy streets and walked into a remote back alley: "Come out, how long do you want to follow?"

Daliang Tou and Zhou Xiang looked at each other, and they walked out together to salute Zhao Chengze, "Master Zhao."

Zhao Chengze looked at the two people in front of him, and frowned: "Who are you? Why do you follow me?"

"My lord, this villain is Liang Qing, the chief escort of the Dragon and Tiger Escort Bureau of Hui'an Province. He was entrusted by Mr. Zhang, the deputy envoy of the Prosecution Division of Hui'an Province, to deliver this letter to your lord." Write a thick letter.

Zhao Chengze didn't reach out to receive the letter, but took a step back and asked, "I'm just a small county magistrate in Changping County, Han Province. How could I have any contact with the deputy envoy of the Procuratorate in Hui'an Province? Why don't you tell me honestly!"

There are so many officials in the imperial court, it is impossible for Zhao Chengze to remember the names of every official in every position, and regardless of whether the person in front of him has lied to him or not, just say that Mr. Zhang, the two of them have no personal relationship at all, and they met each other for no reason How could you write to him.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiang let Daliang's head lean back slightly, took out a waist badge from his pocket, and saluted Zhao Chengze: "Master Zhao, please take a look."

This waist card is unusual, and the words "Deputy Envoy of the Chasi" are impressively engraved on it.

Zhao Chengze clenched his hands under the cover of his outer shirt. Judging from his familiarity with the officials' badges, this badge is real!

It's really the Deputy Envoy of the Inspection Department of Hui'an Province. This Mr. Zhang has some kind of medicine buried in his gourd. He actually gave the badge representing the official position to an outsider.

Zhou Xiang held the waist card and the letter in his hands, and looked at Zhao Chengze: "Master Zhao, Mr. Zhang is injured now, and it is inconvenient to come here to have an interview with you personally, so I entrusted us to hand over this letter to you."

Zhao Chengze's eyelids moved, but he still didn't reach out to take it. A third-rank official came to him, a small seventh-rank magistrate, and he could think that this matter was definitely not easy.

Seeing Zhao Chengze's unmoved look, Zhou Xiang sighed in his heart: "My lord, why not tell you the truth, those children who disappeared yesterday were taken away by our people. If you want those children to come back safely , please accept this letter."

"You can also ask people to arrest our two brothers now to see if yours is faster or our two brothers are faster. If we die, those children who are taken away will never came back."

After Zhou Xiang's voice fell, the two of them took out a dagger from their arms and put it on their own necks, with a look of death on their faces.

When the two of them came out with this letter, they expected to encounter such a scene. Now the alley is surrounded by Zhao Chengze's people. If they succeed, they will die.

Mr. Zhang has great kindness to everyone in the Dragon and Tiger Escort Bureau. They will do their best to help Mr. Zhang in such a difficult situation. If they die because of this, it will be regarded as repaying Mr. Zhang's kindness. Difficult to survive under the rule of corrupt officials.

"Are you threatening me?" Zhao Chengze narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was looking at whether the two people really dared to die, and also seemed to be thinking about whether to follow the letter in their hands.

"The villain doesn't dare." Zhou Xiang replied, he lowered his head slightly, looking quite respectful to Zhao Chengze.

Zhao Chengze sneered twice, and kidnapped more than [-] children in the county in broad daylight. They didn't dare to hold these children, so he had to read this letter even if he didn't want to read it.

With a cold face, he took the letter from Zhou Xiang's hand, holding the thick stack of paper, Zhao Chengze was a little surprised, he thought the envelope looked thick because there were other things inside.

Take it apart and look, the top two pieces of letter paper are the letter of apology written by Mr. Zhang, the deputy inspector of Hui'an Province, to Zhao Chengze. The content below is the details collected by Mr. Zhang about the embezzlement and relief money of the Governor and Governor of Hui'an Province.

Because Mr. Zhang is not sure whether Zhao Chengze is willing to take the risk to help him send the booklet to the capital, so in this letter, Zhao Chengze only listed what the governor and governor did during the drought last year, and the rest of the more secretive content he wrote Only one sentence was mentioned in this letter.

When Zhao Chengze first read the letter, he was dissatisfied with Master Zhang in his heart. After he read the letter, he was shocked. The governor and governor of Hui'an Province are really outrageous. With these two people on top, one It was too difficult for Sanpin's deputy envoy to report them. No wonder he left Hui'an Province and went to the neighboring former Han Province.

Folding the thick letter and stuffing it into the envelope, Zhao Chengze calmed down, and continued to ask Zhou Xiang and the others with a calm face: "Where is Mr. Zhang at the moment? The matter is of great importance, and I have to be cautious. "
