Zhao Liangjian spat out the cigarette residue in his mouth and spat again. Since the emperor banned smoking, he had no choice but to give up his habit of dry tobacco. But people like them are busy working outside and have to stay up late. It is impossible not to have something to refresh themselves.
Fortunately, Sanniangzi's place has a lot of fresh stuff from Southeast Asia. Instead of dry tobacco, there are still snuff and chewing tobacco available.
Snuff makes people sneeze easily and expose their target. Therefore, chewing tobacco, which is more powerful and does not cause sneezing, became his new favorite.
He and a few friends squatted here in Wang Gongchang for several days, and everything was as usual. But today, something unusual was discovered.
Only one of the sedans that originally went out to offer incense came back in the afternoon, and the other one didn't return in a hurry until it was almost dusk. Judging from the unusually fast pace of the sedan bearer and the unconcealed panic on the accompanying servants' faces, it was obvious that something was wrong.
Zhao Liangjian immediately noticed that the steps of the bearers were very brisk and the sedan was "floating", which meant that they were carrying an empty sedan!
When I went out before noon, there was actually someone inside, but what about now?
Women from wealthy families would never stay out overnight unless they were visiting relatives to return to their parents' home. Yourong and Yui were both outsiders and had no relatives in the capital.
Who is the person who has not returned? Although the monitoring personnel cannot see the people in the sedan, they have figured out who the maids accompanying the two "ladies" are when they travel. Generally speaking, the male servants who take out have changed, and the maidservants.
They are all at personal service and will not be replaced easily.
The person following the sedan was none other than Yourong's maidservant.
That being said, Yourong ran away!
Zhao Liangjian immediately said a few words to the people around him, then got up and hurried all the way back to Heliansheng.
"I already know this." Sanniangzi said calmly.
Ever since she found out that it was Pan Cheng'an who wrote the note and was engaging in shady behavior in Ganlu Temple, Sanniangzi had people keep an eye on this place. Of course, this was against the rules, because it was neither entrusted by the employer nor required by the task. However,
, out of sympathy, Sanniangzi was not willing to watch Yourong fall into hell.
However, since it was something that was against the rules, Liao Sanniang couldn't spend too much resources on it, so she only sent a young handyman to keep an eye on it nearby.
Like Liansheng and other escort agencies, there are many family members of escorts who died in the line of duty on the counter. People's talents are different, and not everyone can make a living as an escort. Those who can't do the job work as a sidekick and just make a living.
eat.
Fortunately, it doesn't take any talent to keep tabs on a fixed location, as long as you can endure loneliness and boredom.
"Xiao Dezi came back more than an hour ago and said something happened in Ganlu Nunnery." Liao Sanniang said, "The nuns in the nunnery are like ants in a mess..."
"so……"
"Yourong has been running away for at least more than an hour. The specific situation is not known yet." Liao Sanniang said, "I have sent people to various escort agencies to inquire. Yourong is not an ordinary woman. She was abducted and the shameless young lady was wanted.
If she is responsible for the relationship, she will probably try to find it."
Reporting this matter to the official is useless, the only option is to ask the escort agency to take action.
"This won't be a problem." Zhao Liangjian breathed a sigh of relief.
"You should continue to keep an eye on Zhou Zhai. If you run away, you will definitely alarm the Wang family, and maybe some big fish will be attracted."
"clear!"
A few days later, He Liansheng reported the latest situation to the headquarters in Zhangjiawan via the radio through the correspondent stationed in the escort agency.
Yourong had decided to run away. After running away, Wuyan secretly went to the escort bureau to ask someone to find someone. He and Liansheng did not take the case, but they had already communicated with the relevant escort bureau and would inform them as soon as there was news.
With the report in hand, the fact that someone seduced the woman in Zhou's house and escaped is not inherently trivial. But the report sent today is very important.
In the few days after the incident, many people came in and out of Zhou's house. Surveillance personnel found that one of them was a very suspicious boy. He not only traveled between Wang's house and Zhou's house many times, but also had a strong sense of anti-tracking and anti-reconnaissance.
It's a pity that there are neither cameras nor sketchers here, so it is impossible to record the images of suspicious persons immediately. Otherwise, I would have asked Liu Ying to identify them.
However, since he frequently comes in and out of Zhou's house, he is most likely Shi Weng's person, and Liu Wei has probably met him in all likelihood.
He came to the room where Liu Zhen was imprisoned. Liu Zhen's body had generally recovered, but he was still very weak.
"Liu Zhen, is there a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old under Shi Weng?"
"have."
"Oh? What does it look like?"
Liu Zheng did not answer him, but asked: "How do you know there is such a person?"
"I've seen him coming and going from Wang Gongchang's house recently."
"This chick!" Liu Zheng cursed in a low voice.
"You know him?"
"Of course I know" Liu Zheng said, "There is only one person who is fifteen or sixteen years old and can go to Zhou's house frequently, and that is my apprentice."
"Your apprentice?"
"Yes, my name is Xu Yong."
"How come you have such an apprentice?"
"It's also a chance." He immediately told the past story of arranging a daughter for Mr. Zhou, "...I will keep this child by my side."
"How is this Xu Yong?"
"He is a very smart and capable person. Zhou Lezhi also values him very much and says that given time, he can take over his mantle. But..."
"Just what?"
"My temper is a bit stubborn." Liu Wei smiled, "It's not good for a person on duty to be too stubborn..."
"Why does he come in and out of Zhou's house so often?"
"He can be regarded as half of Mr. Zhou's disciples." Liu Zhen said with a smile, "This kid values love and justice. After Mr. Zhou disappeared, he has been thinking about him, and he has taken great care of Mr. Zhou's family - not to mention
His sister is Zhou Juli."
"Does he often follow Zhou Lezhi now?" Xu Xu asked this most critical question.
"Yes." Liu Wei gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.
In this case, there is a high probability that if you follow Xu Yong, you will be able to find the mysterious Zhou Lezhi. Thinking of this, Xuancheng's nerves suddenly became excited.
Once this mysterious man of unknown origin is caught, all the strange things happening in the Shi Weng Group will be solved.
Now, Quan Xu has no interest in the Shi Weng Group. Their destructive energy can no longer shake the rule of the Senate. It doesn't matter whether they survive or not, but Zhou Lezhi has greatly aroused his and the Intelligence Bureau's interest.
"Inform Min Zhanlian's team and ask them to focus on this Xu Yong! Don't arrest him, find all the people around him!"
Xu Yong held a straw in his mouth and turned it slowly. He looked at Liu Qier and his wife who were hanging from the beam and were beaten to death.
This is the backyard of Zhou's house. Since yesterday, because there were no clues in the search, the servants and maids in the house have been tortured here. From the gatekeeper to the rough messenger, everyone came to the hall and used the family law to torture all the men and women.
He was beaten so hard that everything in the house was turned upside down.
Liu Qier and his wife, who were the stewards of Zhou House, naturally suffered the most. They were stripped naked and hung from the beams of the house and beaten hard all night. Although it was for torture, Xu Yong also wanted to vent his anger.
He was so sincere that he risked being followed by others to come here and warned him many times to be "strict in his family". He didn't expect that Liu Qi'er was so bold and dared to continue to seduce Mrs. Shi.
The most annoying thing is that after discovering that Yourong was missing, he did not go to the Wang family to report it on the same day. Instead, he searched privately until early the next morning.
Now that Yourong has disappeared, when I went to look for Mrs. Shi, she was nowhere to be found - this old guy probably knew what was going on and hid in advance.
However, I finally learned some strange things from the maid and servant who went out with me. I probably knew Yourong's whereabouts.
"...Besides offering incense and going to Mr. Qian's house, has she ever gone anywhere else?!"
"No...no more..." Liu Qier said in despair, "Girl, I've told you all the places I've been to...small ones..."
After a night of torture, he learned everything he could know. Master Qian's concubine must have useful information, but he couldn't break into someone else's mansion and capture Master Qian's concubine for questioning.
Of course, it's not impossible to do this, but you have to use the connections in Jin Yiwei, and things will get bigger and bigger. Even if Xu Yong is young, he doesn't dare to be so reckless.
"It would be great if Master is still here!" Xu Yong thought to himself, feeling quite uneasy.
The master's experience in the world is far greater than his own. If he were here, he would have a backbone. Now he can only rely on himself.
He did not report the search for Yourong to Mr. Le because he knew very well how Mr. Le would deal with it: don't ask.
But Xu Yong can't let go of this matter, because it was Mr. Le and Mr. Wang who asked him to take care of Zhou Zhai in the first place - although it was just "cooperating with Wang Liang", but now Wang Liang is missing, he has no hesitation in taking on this responsibility.
stand up.
For him, having Rong is not simply "Mr. Zhou's woman". Whether he can find her or not is related to his status in the Shi Weng Group.
Even if Mr. Wang and Mr. Le don't blame him, he still can't get over the threshold in his heart.
"Brother Xu! What should we do next?" Although he is only a young man, his subordinates still respectfully call him "Brother".
"Go and ask around the streets and alleys around Mr. Qian's residence. Are there any suspicious sedans or mule carts that have been waiting for people for a short time in the past month? If so, where are they probably going? Especially if they are parked at the back door of Qian's residence or near the corner gate.
of."
"yes!"
What to do next? He had no idea for a while. He had done everything he needed to do, but no matter whether he was sent out to search or intercepted at various city gates, there was no news at all.
Speaking of which, it was this couple who caused trouble! He hid and refused to report and wasted a day in vain. In the past few days, he went between Wang's house, Zhou's house and all suspicious places several times, without any clue! He had to use torture before interrogation.
There is useful news...
The matter has come to this point, so it would be better to report it to Mr. Le. With his intelligence, he might be able to come up with some ideas. After all, we have already begun to trace Yourong’s traces, and he would not be able to make cooked rice out of raw rice.
