Chapter 285: Blatant
Chapter 285 is blatant.
The early morning in Yangzhou is already hot, but the wind blows cold, so it still makes people feel comfortable.
And in such a comfortable and clear way, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce left Yangzhou.
After Hua Lang and the others sent Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce away, they went directly to Slender West Lake.
Slender West Lake is in the northwest of Yangzhou City, the lake is slender and long, like a woman's belt, extremely graceful.
Wen Meng has long wanted to bring everyone here to play, and today finally got his wish.
In the early morning, there are already many people coming and going in Slender West Lake, but they are not here to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Slender West Lake, they are just running for a day's livelihood.
When walking across the bridges, Wen Meng said excitedly: "This is the twenty-four bridge, the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu has a poem praising this place, the green mountains are hidden in the water, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered in autumn; On the moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges, where does the jade teach to blow Xiao. ”
Listening to Wen Meng's explanation, Hua Lang and the others had no choice but to listen, and nodded their heads in praise from time to time, although Hua Lang had objections to the twenty-four bridges mentioned in Du Mu's poem.
After everyone walked across the Twenty-Four Bridge, Hua Lang suddenly stopped, everyone was puzzled, so they all stopped, Wen Meng said the rise, seeing this, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Hua Lang shrugged his shoulders and said, "According to what Ling Ling said, she is here to separate from Tong Que'er, so where can Tong Que'er go from here?" ”
It turned out that Hua Lang came here just to solve the case, not to enjoy the scenery, which made Wen Meng a little angry, but this anger couldn't come out, and he had to follow Hua Lang all the way to find clues.
But they searched for a long time, but they didn't find any clues, and it was noon in the blink of an eye.
Everyone was about to go to a nearby inn for dinner, and when they walked into the inn, they found two people, these two people were people that Hualang didn't want to see, but after Wen Meng saw them, he ran over excitedly and said, "Why are you two here?" ”
Those two were the two brothers Fang Baiyu and Fang Bronze, the two of them got up and hugged their fists, and at this time they saw Hua Lang behind Wen Meng, so they hurriedly greeted: "Brother Hua, why don't you come and sit for a while?" ”
Now that everyone else has said hello, it is not easy for Hua Lang to refuse, otherwise it will seem that he is too small-bellied.
Everyone sat down, and Fang Baiyu asked, "I heard that Brother Hua accepted Tong Yuanwai's request and is ready to handle him to find his daughter, isn't it?" ”
Hua Lang nodded: "Brother Fang's news is really well-informed. ”
Fang Baiyu smiled faintly: "It's not well-informed, it's just that my second brother happens to be handling this matter, so I keep an eye on it." ”
Hearing Fang Baiyu's words, Hua Lang glanced at Fang Bronze and asked, "Fang Zhutou is investigating this matter?" ”
Fang Qingtong still looked down on Hua Lang, so he said with some disdain: "Naturally, although the elopement case is not under the control of our government, but the people of our government servants who were harmed by the river and sea have worked in vain, and I must find him to teach him a lesson." ”
Hua Lang smiled lightly: "This is very good, maybe we still have a chance to cooperate!" ”
The two of them said this, as if they were very polite, but the tone of the two of them was not very harmonious, Wen Meng made a fuss, so he hurriedly asked: "Bronze, are you here to investigate Miss Tong's matter?" ”
Fang Bronze nodded: "That's right, Tong Que'er eloped with someone here, so I'll see if I can find any clues." ”
At this point, everyone refused to say more, so after each of them had eaten a little something, they went their separate ways.
There were no clues found in Slender West Lake, so they could only go back first, but they couldn't go back to the post house, so they could only find an inn in Yangzhou City to stay temporarily.
Not long after they found an inn, a major event caused a sensation in the entire Yangzhou City.
Dong Qing, the daughter of Dong Yuanwai, was robbed in her own home, and now the Yangzhou prefect and the bronze of the fast catch have rushed there.
After Hua Lang heard the news, his heart sank suddenly, and he felt that what he was worried about had finally come.
Originally, Tong Que'er and Jiang Hai fell in love, and they could have told Tong Yuanwai about it, and after Tong Yuanwai disagreed, they would elope, but they didn't tell Tong Yuanwai about it and eloped, thinking that this idea was not Tong Que'er who came up with it, but Jiang Hai, but why did he elope with Tong Que'er?
It's no different from abducting a girl.
But why did he kidnap Tong Que'er, which reminded Hua Lang of a case he handled last winter, kidnapping a girl, and then pulling him to the north to sell, whether it was sold to Qinglou or sold to a rich man as a concubine, this is a profitable deal.
At that time, it was Qin Fei of the Tsing Yi Society who did this, and later he died, but the Tsing Yi Society was not eliminated, and no one knew when their conspiracy would break out again.
If Tong Qi'er was really abducted, then Jiang Hai would definitely not kidnap only one woman, he would definitely search for Jiangnan women one after another, and then satisfy his selfish desires.
Now that a woman has been robbed of her home, his worries have come.
hurried to the Dong Mansion, but the guards did not let Hua Lang and the others enter, saying that they were handling cases inside, and idle people were not allowed to enter.
This made Hua Lang very angry, and he was also very helpless, he had no talent for detectives, but he had no convenience for investigation.
Just when a few of them were angry, Fang Bronze walked out of it, and after he saw the lost appearance of Hua Lang and the others, he smiled a little proudly: "Yo, how come Detective Hua has time to come here?" ”
Seeing that it was Fang Bronze, Hua Lang hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm here to find Fang Zhutou." ”
Upon hearing this, Fang Bronze was a little strange and asked, "Looking for me?" What do you want me to do? ”
Hua Lang smiled faintly: "I came to tell you that the robbery of Miss Dong and the abduction of Miss Tong were done by the same thief." ”
Fang Qingtong was a little disdainful, and said: "Tong Qi'er eloped with someone, and this Dong Qing was kidnapped by someone, it's the same thing there, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." ”
Hua Lang was not angry, but said very calmly: "I didn't say nonsense, these two cases were done by the same person, Fang Zhutou can't even see this, it's really disappointing." ”
Hua Lang said this, but Fang Bronze was angry, he walked out of the Dong Mansion and said coldly: "Okay, let's have another competition to see who solves the case first, how about it?" ”
Hua Lang shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's good, it's just that you don't have the convenience of investigating the case, I'm afraid you will lose a little bit." ”
At this time, Fang Qingtong realized that he had fallen for Hua Lang, but the challenge was put forward by him, if he didn't continue to challenge at this time, it would be too embarrassing, so he looked at Hua Lang and said coldly: "Okay, I'll give you the power to investigate this case, come in with me!" ”
