"Is the magistrate of Nankang County so poor that he is crazy?" After hearing the report from her subordinates, Shen Jing was so angry that she smashed a teacup, "After searching for four or five days, it's not enough?!"
The people below didn't dare to say anything. Their people were also in the city these days. Although they were not found by the group of people from the Yamen, they were looking for places to hide everywhere, which was really a bit embarrassing.
"How was the contact on the other end?"
Under her command was a middle-aged man who was about forty or fifty years old. His face had always been a little ugly. When he saw her asking about this, he quickly said: "They said they would not let go until they see the real person."
Shen Jing's face became more and more ugly, and she thought for a long time, "Did Nankang County often carry out such large-scale searches in the past?"
The middle-aged man hurriedly waved to a young man below, "Tell me something."
"Back to the master, in the past few days, I have specifically asked people from the Nankang County Government. Today, such situations are indeed relatively rare. This Black Wind Village did not suddenly appear in Nankang County. In the past, the county magistrate would also They use the pretext of arresting bandits to plunder the people's wealth, but this usually happens when caravans from other places enter the city, or in autumn, there are those from the countryside who bring things to the city to sell.
And usually it takes one or two days, and the search ends after one search. It is rarely like this time, which has lasted for five days. In the past, these government officials were also very particular about searching people. Generally speaking, the residential buildings in the county were not very good. I will go, because the people in the county government know everything about it and there is nothing to search for."
Shen Jing's expression became solemn, "As expected, I said, this looks unusual. Maybe someone has the same goal as us."
"Young Master, are you saying that there are others looking for the eldest daughter of the Qiao family?"
Shen Jing sneered, "The news from Hongdu Prefecture is that Wen Tingyuan has gone down to the embankment of Ganjiang River. Fortunately, they moved things quickly overnight, otherwise they would have discovered their methods soon.
Moreover, two days ago, he directly inspected the rivers in two counties. The evidence was conclusive, and he asked his own people to send them to the capital. I am afraid there will be a lot of excitement along the way. This Wen Tingyuan... For the current officialdom in the south, But it’s a dangerous seed.”
The middle-aged man knew something about the situation in the south. Hearing this, he asked in surprise: "Is it... that those people are all vegetarians, so they are just allowed to cut their flesh with blunt knives like this?"
It’s not like the imperial court didn’t think of sending people here last year, but weren’t they restrained by the people here? Instead, they became their accomplice. What is this Wen Tingyuan capable of?”
Shen Jing glanced at him, and finally hid the secret in her heart, and then sneered: "This illegitimate son of the Wen family was looked down upon by others in the past, but with the status of the Wen family, Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Mr. Wen accepted him like that and strongly supported him to enter the court, so he knew that this person was extraordinary.
I heard that assassinations have been going on for more than ten years, and it is impossible to get close. Some time ago, the posthouse where he lived caught fire. The local magistrate was crying over there, saying that he failed to take good care of the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court. , unable to explain to the emperor, who knew that the other party came directly from outside and asked about the fire.
The local magistrate who thought he would be burned to death in the post house was so frightened. What could they do with such a person who could not be killed and who had no clues?"
Shen Jing's words were full of sarcasm, but others were surprised when they heard it.
Many of them went south directly from the border. Along the way, they inherited the name of the former General Shen and regained their power. Therefore, they also saw the faces of local officials in various places.
Naturally, we can also know the various difficult situations Wen Tingyuan will encounter when he goes to the south.
Now when I hear Shen Jing's understatement, I can imagine the difficulty here.
The room was silent for a while, but someone whispered, "This man is so powerful, if we catch his wife, will we..."
Shen Jing heard this immediately, "What? Afraid of revenge?"
The person who spoke quickly said: "No, no, no! I was just thinking that since such a person is ready to come to the south to do this thing of pulling out dragon scales, how could he still have such a constraint outside? .
I'm afraid even if we catch that aunt of the Qiao family
Mom, they don’t care at all, but it’s just a waste of our efforts.”
"Don't worry! This Qiao Yuyan is probably Wen Tingyuan's only weakness. As long as we catch her and pull her into the water, Wen Tingyuan will be like a drowned chicken and can't fly!"
Although Shen Jing has left the capital, she is not unaware of the affairs in the capital. Wen Tingyuan and Qiao Yuyan were a loving couple that the sisters in the capital envied in the past.
And when he came to the south, he didn't forget to bring Qiao Yuyan and let her stay at the home of her grandmother, where she grew up. You can see his love and care for her.
"You try to find a few people on the street. You want the kind of scoundrels who know the entire Nankang County very well. They want to be idle all day long, wandering around asking for the most important things in life. Give them money and let them go to the platoon in different areas. The situation of each family.
In particular, we should pay attention to those who suddenly have a young woman in the family. It is best to pay attention to the accent. If the accent is different from that of Nankang County, special attention should be paid to it.
Touch it a few more times, but don’t alert the enemy. Once you have the information, write it down first, screen it together, and then report it.”
The middle-aged man smiled while stroking his hands when he heard this, "How wonderful! Those of us looking for someone. If she really hides in a resident's home, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. These local gangsters are different. I'm afraid they won't even know the streets they are familiar with." The people above know exactly how many chickens they have in their homes.”
There was no smile on Shen Jing's face, "We have to go faster, and you don't have to think about it here. It's best to find the person within five days. In addition, you prepare the carriage and horse. After finding it, we will go there all night Go south."
"yes!"
After Shen Jing and others went down, she rubbed her brows tiredly and couldn't help but think of the past.
In just over a year, everything has changed. The carefree days in the capital now seem to have become memories of the past life.
She thought of her grandmother and the glory of the Shen family, and this nostalgia for the past condensed hatred.
Why should the Zhu family's own affairs allow these ministers to buy into it? If it were not for the Shen family, how could the Zhu family have sat in that position for so many years?
She took a deep breath, and even if her ability was limited, she would try her best to turn him upside down.
Wen Tingyuan...you brought this to your door yourself! This chapter has been completed!
