Record five hundred and fortieth: Baby Lane
Not far from Yu Street, there is an alley called Kayer Lane.
Most of the people living here are vendors who make mud kids or sell kids to play with things.
On the west side of the alley is the West Archway, and there is a south building in the alley. It was the place where the great poet Lu You lived in his later years. A couplet that has been sung for decades, "Listen to the spring rain in a small building overnight, and the deep alley sells apricot blossoms in the Ming Dynasty" comes from here.
Later, the Nanlou changed a few times. Now, Zhang Tianci's family lives in this small building.
It's night.
When Afu personally led a few people to Haier Lane, the two subordinates of Liumen were avoiding a secret corner staring at the gate of the South Building.
When the two of them were shocked when they saw Ah Fu and others coming, they quickly told them about the surveillance situation.
"There are quite a lot of people coming in and out of the Zhang family, but Zhang Tianci has never seen him yet!" One of them reported.
A Fu said with a serious expression: "But Junior Sister Xicun came back and said that Miss Jiang disappeared for no reason, so you pretend to go in and find out if Zhang Tianci is indeed still in his house!"
When the two subordinates heard this, they looked terrified. They pulled out black-faced towels from their arms, and wrapped their heads and faces around them. They walked around to the back door of the south building with the high wall of Qingteng. The two of them jumped into the yard.
Afu and his men hid in the dark waiting for their news.
After about one stick of incense, the two of them who were inquiring about the news came back without knowing it.
"General Fu, my subordinate made a mistake. That Tianci is really not in the mansion!" A thin subordinate pulled the scarf and said with a look of regret.
The two of them had already inquired about Zhang Tianci nearby, but they were just a young man who was eating, drinking, having fun and fighting. They lived in Shaoxing in their homes. With the 200 acres of land and a farmhouse bought by their father, they still had some family fortune. Now that the father has passed away, the widowed mother has brought him to Lin'an Mansion to live with his aunt's family.
Upon hearing this, Afu frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Does the master of the mansion know where he went?"
"We just caught a servant. The servant said that his young master has been injured in the past two days and has caused trouble to pay a lot of money. He was punished by his mother at home to think about his mistakes!"
"But in the evening, someone sent him a letter, so he pretended to be a servant and sneaked out with the car he bought at home! At this moment, their mother was getting angry!" said another subordinate.
Don’t blame them for guarding for a long time but they didn’t see a carriage from the Zhang family picking the owner out. It turned out that they were pretending to be a servant and sneaking out.
"Where did the servant go?"
"He doesn't know where, I just heard that he was called away by his cousin's son! The cousin's son is Li Liang! His family is in Fengyu Gate (Yongjin Gate)!"
Liumen has been operating in Lin'an Prefecture for several years, so he naturally has a very clear understanding of the official positions of all officials in the city and the wealthy families.
When Ah Fu heard that Li Liang lived in Fengyu Gate, he immediately thought of a Yuanwailang named Li Wenbin under the left Cao of the Ministry of Revenue. I guess Li Liang had nothing to do with this person.
He pondered for a moment and ordered: "You two will stay and wait to see if there is any abnormal movement in the Zhang family, or if Zhang Tianci comes back, you should go back to the main hall to report to the sect leader! Let's go to the Li family of Fengyu Sect to find it!"
After saying that, he led a few people to jump into the night quickly.
Inside Fengyu Gate.
Li's Mansion.
It was getting dark, and Li Liang received a reply, and hurriedly asked the servant to get into a carriage and go out.
On the way, when he met He Jicheng who had also received the news, Li Liang took the opportunity to sit in He Jicheng's carriage.
"I didn't expect that Zhang Tianci was caught. It's really easy to get it!" Li Liang said excitedly.
He Jicheng slowly waved his fan with a gloomy eyes: "This time is a good opportunity! You can't let her run away anymore, it's better--" He raised the fan and made a neck wiping action.
"You are right! To avoid any trouble!" Li Liang did not hesitate.
