Chapter 649: Trouble
When he left the gate of the tribute courtyard, he saw the man standing under the wooden pillar at the door, looking around, as if he was waiting for someone.
Su Jin was very curious about this person, seeing that he was calm, he was not in a hurry when he was about to take the exam, and he even explained some questions to him with gentle words, and he had a good impression of him in his heart and had the heart to make friends with him; So he stepped forward and said, "This brother is invited." ”
The man turned his head to see that it was Su Jin, and bowed his hand in return: "Hello brother." ”
Su Jin said with a smile: "I take the liberty to disturb in the next, and my brother Tai is sincerely grateful for the virtue of helping each other in the examination shed." ”
The man raised his eyebrows and smiled: "A little thing is enough to worry about, and it is a contemptible honor to be able to serve the Sushe people." ”
Su Jin was shocked and said, "You know me?" ”
The man smiled and said: "Who in the capital doesn't know Master Su, who does grain affairs, rectifies ink officials, and retreats from Liao, if Lord Su doesn't know him, isn't he blind?" ”
Su Jin arched his hand and said: "But Brother Tai is also from the capital?" Dare to ask my brother Taigao's surname. ”
The man said with a smile: "In Xia Hanjiang, he is a little Zhailang in Taimiao, although he is a small official who can't be on the stage, but he is still familiar with Master Su." ”
Su Jin hurriedly smiled: "It turned out that he was an official in the same dynasty, although I don't know what kind of official Zhailang is, but it must be the same kind of idle position as me, and Brother Tai thought that he participated in the undergraduate imperial examination because he was not promoted without the imperial examination." ”
Han Jiang smiled and said: "That's not it, I was ordered by my father to take the undergraduate encumbrance exam, and my father returned to Shishi this year, so he ordered me to participate in the Enke ......."
Su Jin said with a smile: "I see, Ling Zun is to let you come out to the lintel of the Han family, the father is honored and the son replaces him, and the father and son relay allegiance to the Great Song Dynasty, which is really a good story." ”
Han Jiang said with a smile: "I have won the award, I just obeyed my father's orders, Brother Tai is the material of the pillars of the Great Song Dynasty, I have no nervousness in the past two days, and I will come out on top in the test, so I will congratulate you here." ”
Su Jin waved his hand and said: "You are not the same, I thought I was the first person to hand in the papers, but I didn't expect that Brother Han was earlier than me, and Brother Tai was the leader." ”
Han Jiang smiled and said, "Let's wait and see, Master Su, my carriage is here, and I'm leaving, let's talk about it another day." ”
Su Jin hurriedly gave it away, and sure enough, when he saw a carriage kicking and tapping from the street, Han Jiang bent down and got into the carriage and waved his hand away.
Su Jin smacked his tongue secretly, this guy seemed to have been prepared, and he called the carriage at home to pick him up at this time, which shows that he didn't plan to stay until tomorrow at all, but knew from the beginning that the third game wouldn't take too long, and this self-confidence was not covered.
In the carriage, the young Han Jiang thought to himself with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I thought that this famous Su Jin was just smart and witty, but now it seems that he is quite talented, I hope you are indeed a talented person, not a fat man with a swollen face; I am already confident in handing in the papers, but you are not in any state of mind when you submit the papers early; But saying that you are the leader is a compliment, and I, Han Jiang, can't come out to take the exam, but if I participate in the scientific examination, how can I let the leader fall behind......
……
Su Jin walked from Gongyuan Square to the street, and the wooden pillars on both sides of the street were specially hung with wind lanterns, and the street illuminated was also bright; During the test, there were many soldiers patrolling the streets, and after a short time, a small group of soldiers hurried by.
Su Jin went straight to the Yan family and Feng Building across the street, he vaguely felt that Yan Biyun must have been here for the past few days, and tomorrow is the end of the day, Yan Biyun has no reason not to be in the building.
But when I inquired about Hefeng Building, the shopkeeper said that the owner was indeed here in the afternoon, but he left in the evening, and I heard that there was an urgent matter at home.
Su Jin knew that he couldn't ask anything, Yan Biyun wouldn't tell the shopkeeper too much, so he offered to ask the shopkeeper for a carriage to send him back to Desheng Bridge; The shopkeeper didn't know Su Jin, but Yan Biyun explained before leaving that if someone claimed to be a member of the Su family, he should not be lazy; So although I don't know who the young man in front of me is, I didn't dare to slack off when I asked if it was 'surnamed Su', and besides, this person paid double the car money, so there was no reason to refuse, and he was busy with a young man driving the carriage to send Su Jin back to Desheng Bridge.
Su Jin sat in the car and thought about it and wondered, Yan Biyun was not there, Xiao Sui'er and Rou Niang Huanniang said that they would wait in Hefeng Building in advance, and said that after the exam, a table was set up in Hefeng Building to receive a banquet, why is there no one now.
The second watch was approaching, Su Jin returned to his house outside Deshengqiao, and after sending the carriage, Su Jin came to the door, but he could hear a commotion inside, and he could hear Ma Han's loud voice talking about what to find...... Turn it all over and something.
Then a woman's voice seemed to be saying something, and Su Jin felt more and more uncomfortable, and hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door. There was a sudden silence inside, and after a while, the small door opened, and Wang Dynasty's vigilant face was revealed, and he shouted in a low voice: "Who? ”
Su Jin said: "Who else can there be?" Open the door! ”
When Wang Chao heard that it was Su Jin's voice, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly opened the door, and at the same time shouted loudly: "The prince is back!" ”
Everyone in the hall was stunned, and they didn't know why Su Jin rushed back at this time, and they all rushed out.
Su Jin saw that Yan Biyun, Xiao Xian'er, the four major foodies, Xiao Sui'er, and Huanniang were all present, and felt very strange, and asked, "What's wrong today?" Isn't it August 15, when everyone gathers in one place to admire the moon? ”
Everyone was silent and stood dumbfounded, Su Jin frowned and said, "I finished handing in the papers and came back early, and I didn't even have anyone to unload the exam basket, what's going on?" ”
Zhao Hu hurriedly stepped forward to help Su Jin unload the test basket, Su Jin loosened the muscles on his shoulders and asked, "What's wrong?" With black faces, aren't you happy when I come back? ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally their eyes focused on Yan Biyun, Yan Biyun sighed and said, "Let's go into the house, your son-in-law is very tired, Xian'er go make a cup of tea." ”
Su Jin said: "Who can tell me quickly, what happened at home?" Do you want to kill me? ”
Xiao Sui'er suddenly couldn't help crying, and whimpered: "Son, Sister Rou Niang is lost!" ”
"What? Lost? Su Jin almost didn't believe his ears, and his excitement about taking the exam suddenly came to naught: "How could a good big living person be lost?" ”
Huanniang said softly with red eyes: "My sister and Xiao Sui'er went to the Gongyuan together in the evening, planning to stay in Sister Yan's Hefeng Building for one night and pick up the princess together tomorrow, but halfway through, my sister saw that the sugar-fried chestnuts on the roadside food stall were very fragrant, so she stopped to buy some and eat them; We each wrapped a bag, and Sui'er and I walked in the head, but we went back to the carriage, and waited for a long time and didn't see my sister come up, and when we looked back again, my sister seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and I couldn't find it again. ”
Huanniang said and spoke, and tears fell down.
Su Jin's brows furrowed into a pimple: "Stop the car, buy a sugar-fried chestnut and disappear without a trace?" Doesn't sound like I'm sure it's true. ”
Wang Chao said in a low voice: "Son, it's all my fault for not taking good care of me, I should have followed them ......"
Su Jin waved his hand and said: "It's none of your business, in broad daylight, who would have thought that such a thing would happen, and besides, the senior brothers you have been busy training and settling down brought recently, it is impossible to follow them every day to protect them." ”
"But...... Son, this is a dereliction of duty for me to wait. ”
Su Jin said: "Now is not the time to blame yourself, you have to find people quickly." ”
Wang Chao said: "I immediately organized people to go out to look for it again, we looked at the terrain, it happened to be the intersection of a street and two alleys, but the alley was a dead end, I guess someone tied Rou Niang and climbed over the wall of the dead end and escaped; I was afraid that something would happen at home at night, so I rushed back to take a look, it would be best if the prince came back, let Ma Han take a few people to stay at home, and Zhao Hu and Zhang Long and I took people to continue to look for it. ”
Su Jin said: "You did the right thing, don't go out first, let's find out the situation first, you all searched all night and found it, such a headless fly-like collision will inevitably be fruitless, first house, let's sum up." ”
As Su Jin's face returned to calm, everyone was a little settled in their hearts, as long as the prince was not panicked, they would not be too panicked.
After entering the house, Su Jinming Xiaosui and Rou Niang told the evening situation again, Su Jinzai listened carefully, and couldn't stop thinking about it.
The three of them went out at the same time, but Rou Niang disappeared, but Huanniang and Xiao Sui'er had nothing to do, which was really strange; And Wang Chao said that there were footprints on the high wall of the dead end, which looked a bit like kidnapping, but it was not necessarily from the wall, tying a person in broad daylight and then running over the wall was indeed a bit nonsense, and Su Jin didn't believe too much in the judgment of the dynasty.
Since the three of them went out together, they were all weak women, and it was only Rou Niang who was kidnapped, which made Su Jin naturally think of one thing, that is, when Liu Binhua was booby-trapped, it was Rou Niang who acted as the bait, and now Rou Niang suddenly disappeared again, is there any connection between the two?
If it is true that Rou Niang disappeared because of this incident, then nine times out of ten it is Xia Zhu's hand, and there is only one possibility, that is, Rou Niang showed her face in the car that day, and was seen clearly by the companions who followed Liu Binhua, so she was kidnapped.
But that day, Rou Niang was obviously wearing makeup, and even Su Jin felt that she had changed her appearance when she saw it, how did those companions recognize it?
And even if they recognize Rou Niang's face, how do they know where Rou Niang is, Rou Niang lives in seclusion most of the time, and they only take the car out of the house in the past few days, how can others know that Rou Niang is going to the Tribute Academy, so they take the opportunity to kidnap people on the way?
All the doubts were summarized one by one, and Su Jin came to two conclusions: first, Rou Niang must have been kidnapped, and it was impossible to disappear out of thin air. The second is that nine times out of ten the kidnappers were instructed by Xia Zhu, it is very likely that there were flaws in Rou Niang's appearance that day, and she was recognized by the companion who followed Liu Binhua, so she was kidnapped to ask for a confession.
The reason why Rou Niang was discovered by them was probably because Xia Zhu suspected him, so he ordered someone to secretly monitor his own movements, so he recognized Rou Niang, and kidnapped Rou Niang at the right time.
As soon as these two conclusions were drawn, Su Jin couldn't help but sweat all over his body, this matter is in trouble!
