Chapter 890
There are six corner gates inside and outside the Fourth Master's Mansion, two in the front yard and four in the inner courtyard. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
The two sides of the southwest corner and the southeast corner are the corner gates that are most often entered and exited by palace people, and they are also the corner gates that Mo Yaqi is most likely to pass through, after all, the corner gates in the northwest and northeast corners are in the stables, washrooms, sewing rooms and other low-level palace maids, and the sanitary conditions are limited.
Erf told Lee about her thoughts, and she agreed with it.
In line with the idea of finding Mo Yaqi as soon as possible, the two of them were the first to ask Mo Yaqi about the corner gate keeper who was most likely to pass, don't look at the door keeper This job is very boring, but it is definitely one of the best fat in the house, and can be responsible for the corner gate in the southwest corner, which is even more of the fat difference.
The gatekeeper Kong Pozi don't look at her very cowardly and incompetent to her own man, but when she is on an errand on weekdays, she is very shrewd and capable, she knows that being questioned in advance is definitely not a good thing, and she is not panicked, and she methodically describes all the work that has been done in an early manner, one by one, and waits for the doorkeeper next to her to reply.
It's just that Erf is a person with a very sensitive sixth sense.
Although Mrs. Confucius looks calm, but she is too calm, but it makes Erfu wonder if she really did something, after all, it is a matter of life for Mrs. Kung Gege to go out of the house without permission, no matter who is involved as the gatekeeper, this is not a thing to be underestimated, if you are not careful, this little life will be taken in, compared to the anxiety of other gatekeepers, Confucius Pozi's performance is really too strange.
Thinking of this, she asked Confucius to take her to the side and wait.
There is about a stick of incense, several gatekeepers in the house have been asked, Erfu called Li into the inner room, talked about her little discovery, and asked for Li's opinion with some uncertainty, "What do you want to do, although Mo Yaqi is the character of the prince's mansion, even if her reputation is damaged, she will not delay her family affairs, but it will inevitably be treated differently in the future, you see whether you want to let the guards in the palace search for Mo Yaqi's whereabouts around the capital, or secretly arrange people to chase in the direction of Shengjing." β
"According to the concubine's body, let's find it generously.
Now the things that should be known and what should not be known in the mansion are already known about Mo Yaqi's departure from the mansion, even if we secretly want to hide this news, we can't hide it after all, and we may mistakenly find the timing of Mo Yaqi, as for the future, I think time will dilute everything. Li Shi seemed to be unbearable, and sighed and muttered.
"Okay, you are Mo Yaqi's mother, I respect your choice.
I will arrange for the guards in the palace to search around the capital, and I will also arrange for Zhang Bao to lead a team of people to search in the direction of Shengjing, hoping to find Mo Yaqi's traces as soon as possible, and you also have to think about whether it is possible for Mo Yaqi to ask someone from your mother's family for help.
After all, she is still a child, even if she sneaks out of the house recklessly, she may soon regret it and be afraid, at this time, if I were her, I should find your Li family's relatives for help as soon as possible. However, Erfu was impatient to watch her performance, she nodded slightly, handed a new handkerchief to Li to wipe her tears, then turned around and took out the pair of cards to mobilize the guards in the house from the brocade box, and handed it to Shilan's hand, she explained to Li Shi while urging Shilan to quickly take the pair of cards to the front yard to mobilize the guards in the house, looking for Mo Yaqi's traces, hoping to bring Mo Yaqi back safely as soon as possible.
It's just a pity that the whole afternoon passed, and there was still no news back.
In the fourth master's mansion, in order to be afraid of missing something, Erfu specially asked people to search the inner courtyard up and down, in addition, she also asked people to find some things written by Mo Yaqi, and looked through the inspection content with Li, hoping to find some clues from it.
Mo Yaqi is really good at how to hide her whereabouts.
"Fu Jin, what do you say about this, where did Mo Yaqi's child go, the whole capital is about to be rummaged by the guards in the palace, if it continues to toss like this, I am afraid that it will alarm the one in the palace. The next morning, Li hurried to the main courtyard early in the morning to see Erfu, she couldn't care about the things around her, she even forgot the old etiquette of eating and sleeping, and before Erfu put down her chopsticks, she had already hurriedly asked.
Erf didn't blame Lee for this, on the contrary, he understood it.
After all, her biological daughter is gone, and the mother will be anxious, which is really a normal thing, she waved her hand and ordered Shilan to clean up the unfinished breakfast, and helped Erfu, who was unsteady to stand on the Luohan bed, to sit firmly on the Luohan bed in the east room, and softly comforted: " Don't be too anxious, you should believe that Mo Yaqi is a very smart child, and I have ordered someone to count the private body in her room, and found that when she left the house, she took away a large amount of body silver and valuable jewelry, which is also good news, she is alone and has money, if she finds a reliable dart board to protect the safety, she should soon catch up with the fourth master, I have also sent a letter to the fourth master, and he will also pay attention to Mo Yaqi's traces along the road. β
"I'm more afraid that wealth will move people's hearts, what if someone has malicious intentions!" It's just that Li Shi panicked as if his mother's love suddenly exploded, and the whole person asked in a trembling voice like a tense spring.
"I'm not a good person, but I'm okay.
Everything we can do now has been done.
For now, we can only hope to find her sooner, and as for the rest, you want to open some too. Erf really didn't know how to comfort Lee's uneasiness, so she had to tell her heart as she thought.
"What should I do, what should I do if something happens to her outside!"
Erfu looked at the six gods and the ownerless Li family, and sighed in her heart, but she had to patiently comfort the Li family who was crying and mourning, and did not get a moment of peace all day, until the sunset and twilight drum, she sent away the crying Li family, called Shilan and Shiqing, and asked the guards about the results they were looking for in the capital.
No news, no news......
Mo Yaqi is like the world has evaporated, I don't know how to leave the house, I don't know how to leave the capital, I don't know where the people are, all the inns and rented houses in Beijing have no news about Mo Yaqi, even into some small villages on the outskirts of Beijing, Erfu has asked Bai Jiao's people to look for it carefully, but they have found nothing.
Erfu, who was unsmoly, suddenly remembered Confucius who was temporarily locked up in the backyard.
"Has Mrs. Kong behaved abnormally in the past two days?" she casually put down the secret letter that Bai Jiao had sent from outside the mansion, turned her head to Shilan and asked.
"If you go back to your master, Confucius should eat and sleep all day long.
If you really want the slave to say it, her abnormality is too normal, in addition to the gatekeepers in each courtyard, there are more than a dozen gatekeepers in charge of guarding the corner gates alone, all of these people have been put back by you, only she is locked in the utility room in the backyard, she can stay in the utility room so calmly, not crying, not making trouble, and not the slightest panic, it can only show that she is confident that you can't find anything wrong with her.
But as far as the slave maid knows, the reason why the errand of the gatekeeper is called one of the best fat in the house is because she can receive all kinds of benefits from everyone who wants to leave the house, and the conditions in Confucius's house are like that, so she is not afraid that you will find out the mistakes and omissions and lose the fat in her mouth!" Shilan scratched her head and shook her head and replied, but she also gave another idea.
"You arrange for someone to search her house, and I will find even a few flies in her house. Fortunately, there is no talk of protecting personal privacy in this era, and the two sons of Mrs. Confucius and Mrs. Kong Dali are both born children who signed a deed of sale in the house, even if she lets people set fire to the two small earthen houses in Mrs. Kong's house, the government yamen will not take care of it.
Of course, Erff would let people do this, and she was too anxious to do it.
It's just that the results of the search did not find a large amount of silver hidden as she wished, or found Mo Yaqi's personal ornaments and other things, she sighed helplessly, raised her hand and threw the dozen taels of broken silver on the tea table to the side, and ordered someone to bring over Kong Pozi who was locked in the utility room.
"I think you've been in the utility room for the past two days, and you already know what I mean.
Shilan, bring me the two hundred taels of silver I just asked you to wrap.
Mrs. Kong, I know that your man is a rotten gambler, he can't lift his hands and shoulders, and even the private money you have accumulated over the years has been thrown in, and even the two children were secretly sold by him to people's teeth, and now there are two hundred taels of silver here, which is enough for you to buy more than ten acres of fertile land outside the capital, and I can also guarantee that your men will not come to disturb your life again, let alone pursue the matter of letting Mo Yaqi out of the house without permission, and will arrange for you to leave the house to go to my dowry Zhuangzi on an errand.
I only ask you for one truth now, and that is where Mo Yaqi Gege has gone.
Of course, I also know that you may not know where Mo Yaqi is, so can you tell me when Mo Yaqi left the house?
You are also a mother, I think you should understand how anxious the Li family is now, if I hand you over to her now, what kind of fate will you end, you should be able to imagine!" Erfu handed a tray full of silver ingots to Mrs. Confucius, and after she found that Mrs. Kong's eyes had changed, she asked slowly, she knew the reason why Mrs. Confucius was unwilling to tell the truth now, one was worried about losing her errand, the second was afraid of being angry with the fourth master and the Li family, and the third was afraid of losing the money she planned to redeem her own child, and now she gave her enough assurance that she believed that Mrs. Confucius would not keep silent again.
As Erfu expected, Confucius told how Mo Yaqi left the house.
It was only at this time that Erfu found out how Mo Yaqi disappeared without a trace, and dared to love that Mo Yaqi had already run out of the house before the fourth master left, and at that time, the doorkeeper only thought that she wanted to go out of the house, and she was happy to have a large amount of money to collect, and she specially agreed with Mo Yaqi to return to the house, so she let Mo Yaqi go out of the house in disguise.
It's just that she never dreamed that Mo Yaqi didn't come back after leaving, she didn't return to the house all night, and she didn't show up the next day, until she was worried that she was found in the main courtyard by the palace maid on an errand in the main courtyard, and when she heard the private discussion of the little palace maid in the main courtyard, she knew that she had gotten into trouble, but she didn't dare to admit that she had let Mo Yaqi out of the house by herself.
"You recall what Mo Yaqi dressed when she left the house, and let the painter draw it. Knowing that Mo Yaqi left the house before the fourth master left, Erfu asked Zhao Dezhu to find a painter in the front yard in a panic, and told Confucius to describe the last outfit of Mo Yaqi he had seen, and then turned around and walked towards the east courtyard.
She really doesn't know how the Li family is a mother.
In her opinion, even if Mo Yaqi moved to Jing Si Ju, the Li family should often go over to take a look, and should explain that the servants who were waiting around Mo Yaqi did their best, how could they make Mo Yaqi leave all night without being discovered, all night, Mo Yaqi was served by close maids around her, and there was a doorkeeper in the courtyard of Jing Si Ju to take care of them, what are these people doing to eat, they actually let Mo Yaqi disappear all night, and only reported it the next day.
Call...... Walking on the bluestone path, Erfu let out a long breath of turbidity.
In the east courtyard, the plain-faced Li family is also uneasy, although she will use Mo Yaqi to compete for favor and fight fiercely, but she is not completely unconcerned about Mo Yaqi's life and death, whether it is the child she gave birth to in October, she doesn't care anymore, she can't really wait for the news of Mo Yaqi's outside, a girl is alone, what kind of danger she may face, she doesn't dare to think, and she doesn't want to think about it, at this moment, she is no different from an ordinary mother, and even whether Hongyun, who she cares about the most, is well fed and clothed, she can't worry about itγ
Suddenly heard that Erfu was coming at night, she hurriedly greeted her, and as soon as she saw Erfu, she asked anxiously: "But I have found Mo Yaqi's dead girl, where is she, how is she doing, has she been wronged?"
After a series of questions, Erf didn't know how to answer.
It is also thanks to the servant girl who is waiting by Li's side that she is measured, and she still remembers to see Erfu and invite her into the upper room to serve tea, and also remember to remind Li's untidy appearance, with this buffer time, Li also calmed down, she sat on the main seat, looked at Erfu with a bitter face, and asked in a trembling voice: "But if there is any bad news, I can bear it, just say it." β
"Don't worry, there's no bad news. Erfu raised her hand to take the hot tea from the palace maid, nodded slightly, and motioned to the palace maid to lead the maid out of the room, then turned her head to look at Li who raised her eyebrows again, raised her hand and patted the back of her hand, seeing that she was calm, she said softly, " I have already asked from the mouth of Mrs. Confucius when Mo Yaqi left the house, and now I am asking the painter to paint the portrait, and when the time comes, it will be easier to let the guards take the portrait all the way to Shengjing to find it, and I will send a message to the fourth master later, so that he can rush to Shengjing as soon as possible, so as not to miss Mo Yaqi's traces. β
"With Lao Fujin's arrangement, I can feel more at ease. Li nodded slightly.
It's just that the Li family didn't know that the fourth master was going to Shengjing with the old man Kangxi, that is, the fourth master wanted to rush to Shengjing as soon as possible, but he also had to worry about the physical condition of the old man Kangxi who was nearly sixty years old, and the safety of the holy car was the most important thing.
