Jinghong Building

Chapter 99 Mr. Bai Yan

Seeing that the time was almost over, He Ran decided to go back to the capital. She called Zhou Jian: "From the future, you will follow me and others will ask me, who am I from you, what do you say?"

Zhou Jian blinked his bright eyes and said sweetly, "Sister."

He Ran nodded: "Not bad, smart."

I haven't seen whether I am smart or not, but I am very good at observing my expressions.

He Ran is temporarily satisfied with this child.

When they left Shunde Mansion the next day, the city gate was still searching. This time, even the men searched together. Fortunately, they and their team were leaving the city and did not need to search.

He Ran smiled and said, "Aren't you going to catch a female thief? Why do you even need to search a man?"

Xiaoli said, "It is said that the female thief is good at disguise and has never been caught. She is worried that she will become a man and sneak into the city."

Speaking of this, Xiaoli couldn't help laughing. The group of women dressed in men had entered the city swaggeringly.

He Ran also found it funny, and felt that the officials here didn't seem very smart.

The next day, they returned to the capital. He Ran did not go to Jinghonglou. She took Zhou Jian directly back to Laomofang Hutong. When she entered the door, she did not see Xiao Ba. Shoumei had no choice but to say: "It's my fault." , I shouldn't have told it, you're going back nine days, I guess it's a day."

He Ran, I reasonably suspect that Xiao Ba still has a home outside.

She asked Shoumei to take Zhou Jian to the guest room: "Let's stay in the guest room first, we will change places in a few days."

Now that she has Zhou Jian in hand, it is inconvenient to live in the capital.

This time I returned to Beijing, I just took some trivial matters and took Xiao Ba with me.

"Where are the Heimei and the others? Have you ever been back?" He Ran asked.

"No, none of them came back. By the way, Prince Lu has been here and I'll send you this."

Shoumei pointed to a pot of hibiscus placed under the corridor, and there were two big red flowers on it.

"Criminal Lu? Lu Zhen?" He Ran asked.

"Yes, I'm wondering whether to say something to Mrs. Li next time I see her." Shoumei was really thinking this way, and was giving flowers to the young woman in a good manner. This must be a bad intention.

He Ran called out: "It's okay to say it or not, you can do it."

He Ran just took a look at those two big red flowers, but didn't take them to heart.

Before she came back, she wrote a letter to Wen Qiu, the shopkeeper of Jinghonglou, Baoding, asking Wen Qiu to find a teacher who needs to be reliable.

She thought it would take a few days before there would be a reply, but unexpectedly, on the second day after she returned to the capital, Wen Qiu actually brought the teacher to Beijing with her teacher.

The teacher brought by Wen Qiu is named Bai Yan.

Wenqiu asked Bai Yan to drink tea at the stone table in the yard first, and he went in to see He Ran first.

This is the first time He Ran has seen Wen Qiu. Wen Qiu has no shadow of a businessman, she is elegant and handsome, no matter how she looks at it, she is a scholar.

Regarding the previous few things, He Ran was very satisfied with Wen Qiu, so he did not exchange too many greetings and asked directly: "Is this Mr. Bai trustworthy?"

Wen Qiu said, "It's credible."

It turns out that Bai Yan is not from Baoding, he is from Qingzhou.

Bai Yan only has one daughter. Although his family is not wealthy, the family of three loves each other and is happy. A year ago, on Qingming Festival, the family went to the suburbs to visit the graves and happened to meet the King of Qi who was out for a walk.

The King of Qi and his group were numerous, and the people hid, and Bai Yan's nine-year-old daughter Dai Dai could not dodge and fell to the ground. Seeing this, the King of Qi dismounted himself, picked up the little girl, and returned it to Bai Yan and his wife. Yan and his wife thanked each other for their gratitude.

King Qi was approachable and humble, saying that it was because of him that the little girl fell down and that he should apologize. He asked Bai Yan in detail about the address of his home. Bai Yan didn't want to say it at first, but King Qi was sincere and he had to tell the truth.

After the King of Qi and his party left, the people praised King of Qi for his wise and even Bai Yan and his wife thought so.

After Bai Yan's family returned, after a few days, they did not see anyone coming from the Qi Mansion, so they just thought it was the Qi Prince's questioning casually and putting this matter aside.

No one expected that a few days later, when Bai Yan and his wife woke up, they habitually asked their daughter to get up, but there was no movement in the room. When his wife entered the room, she saw that the quilt was spread on the bed, but Bai Daidai was not sure where to go. , while the shoes are by the bed.

At this time, Bai Yan and his wife felt a little headache, and even smelled the residual fragrance in their and daughter's houses. Only then did they realize that someone had used the fragrance for them and stole Dai Dai.

Bai Yan reported to the official position. He and his wife searched everywhere, but after searching for him for a whole month, there was no whereabouts of Bai Daidai.

When Bai Yan went to the yamen again, he only got a cold saying: "Go back and wait for news."

Bai Yan and his wife suspected that the yamen did not seek it attentively. When they were helpless, their wife suddenly said, "Why don't we go and ask Prince Qi, he is so friendly to the people, maybe he can help us."

The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. But this sentence from his wife reminds Bai Yan of what happened on the Qingming Festival.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Isn't all this a coincidence?

He started to wander around the gate of the Qi Palace from time to time, but soon he was discovered by the guards of the Qi Palace. He was expelled, and once, he was even hit by a few sticks.

More than ten days later, Bai Yan's wife Yu went outside the city to ask for a visa and asked the Bodhisattva to give advice. Maybe she could find her daughter.

There were many people going to burn incense that day. When they came back, a carriage accidentally stepped on the crops on the roadside, and clashed with the farmers, blocking the road.

In desperation, many people had to take a detour.

There are two roads to return to the city from here, one is the blocked one, and the other is to pass through a mass grave. Therefore, if it were not forcibly, no one would have taken that road.

Fortunately, there are many people coming to burn incense today, so there is no scruples, so everyone goes on the road of mass graves together.

The women were talking and laughing. Yu was worried about his daughter and was not in the mood to talk and laugh with others. She subconsciously looked at the roadside and suddenly saw two little beggars fighting. One of them relied on his tall figure and made one tall. Lift up, and the other jumped to grab it.

The women covered their noses and subconsciously walked faster, fearing that the lice on the little beggar's body would jump onto them.

But Yu could not move her legs anymore. She walked to the little beggar and snatched the things from the little beggar's hand.

That was a jade lock.

Yu's body shook, and the character cypress was engraved on the back of the jade lock, and the lute on the jade lock was tying it by her own hands. She was used to tie an extra knot on the lute, so she could recognize it at a glance. Come out, she beat this web.

"Where did this beggar find it?" she yelled, grabbing the little beggar's shoulder.

The little beggar fought with a mass grave: "On there, the dead."

Dai Dai's body was found. The nine-year-old girl died of humiliation. The body was dragged out of the pit by a wild dog.

He Ran asked in a deep voice: "Did King Qi do it?"

Wen Qiu nodded and said, "Mr. Bai's wife went crazy and died after jumping into the lake. Mr. Bai went to the yamen again and was bombed out. He took his life savings and the money he sold his ancestral home and asked to Jinghonglou, Qingzhou. .”
