Chapter one hundred and eighty second departure again
Originally, they were worried that the two of them were missing, but now it seems that they have disappeared. I don't know if they are worried.
Xiao He heard Ling Yun's question and immediately replied, "Yes, Master Yun. Master Yun and Master Ciao came back at night yesterday, but they didn't find Master Yun."
"I originally thought that Master Yun had returned to the inn by himself, but early this morning, Master and Master Ciao learned that Master Yun was not together. They sent several waves of people out to look for him, but found nothing. Master and Master Ciao were so anxious that they became furious!"
"Master Yun, I won't say much more. You go in first. The young master and his cousin are waiting for news from you!"
Ling Yun nodded and entered the palace.
Xiao Si led the way, but even without him, Ling Yun knew the way.
"Master Yun is back, Master Yun is back..."
Xiao He shouted inward while guiding Ling Yun.
When Xiao Si on the road saw Xiao He shouting like this, he knew that the person the young master and his cousin were looking for had come back.
He immediately rushed to report the situation. At this time, every Xiaosi wished he had two extra legs so that he could be the first to report in front of the young master and his cousin.
Things like announcing good news are the favorite things for servants. Not only can they show off in front of the young master, but sometimes they can also get a lot of silver rewards!
No wonder they are so keen on announcing the good news!
There are also particularities in reporting news, usually reporting good news rather than bad news.
Generally speaking, when happy events happen, there is a rush to be the first to report them. If something bad happens, as long as it does not concern them, no one is willing to wade into this muddy water.
Fatty and Wang Jinghui were moved upon hearing the sound, and came out and said in unison, "Brother Ling, Ling Yun, you are finally back."
Ling Yun also responded, "Brother Wang, Fatty."
When Fatty and Wang Jinghui saw him in person, they quickly stepped forward, each holding his hand and not forgetting to hit him twice, possibly to express their concerns.
The fat man looked worried and asked, "Ling Yun, where did you go last night? Why did you suddenly disappear when Xiaobing went to pick us up?"
Ling Yun let out a long sigh and said in a low voice, "It's a long story..."
Finally, Ling Yun told them what Xiaoshu told him about what happened yesterday afternoon.
The more they listened, the more horrified they felt. Their pupils slowly widened to their maximum size. After listening, their bodies couldn't stop trembling and shivering. They were silent for a long time.
The fat man was the first to react, filled with righteous indignation, and roared furiously, "Who is it?"
Ling Yun thought for a moment and said slowly, "I heard that one of them is named Fan Jian. Brother Wang, do you know this person?"
Wang Jinghui is from Anzhou Prefecture. Unlike him and Fatty, he is not familiar with the place.
I think if he was from around Anzhou Prefecture, Wang Jinghui would have heard about Fan Jian.
Hearing this, Wang Jinghui lowered his head and thought hard. His eyebrows wrinkled tighter and tighter as time went by. From time to time, he made a low sound of the word "Fan Jian" from his throat.
From time to time, I would slap the back of my head with my hands and scratch the hair on it.
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Jinghui raised his head, took a deep breath, shook his head at Ling Yun and sighed, "Brother Ling, I have never heard of the name Fan Jian."
Since Wang Jinghui doesn't know, he can only go to the tavern to find out, hoping that there will be good news for him.
Finally, Ling Yun and the others came to the tavern angrily and called the waiter who greeted them yesterday to explain the reason.
But who would have expected that when Ling Yun said that he was being held hostage, the waiter panicked and fell back, and the fat man caught him with quick eyes and quick hands.
The waiter, who finally calmed down, said that he didn't know, but he just came back from using the toilet and found that he was not there.
He originally thought that he was picked up by a friend. After all, he asked the guests in the tavern, and the guests only told him that Ling Yun was carried into the carriage by two people.
At that time, the waiter in the shop still thought it was strange that when his friend picked him up, why did he only pick up one and leave two of them behind?
But not long after, the two fat men were also picked up one after another, so he no longer doubted it.
Now it seems that this was not picked up by a friend, but a long-planned revenge.
Ling Yun saw that his words were genuine and not deceptive, so he asked if there were any other waiters. The man thought for a while and named one person.
He also specifically stated that the man did not come to the store today. Ling Yun thought about it carefully and concluded that the matter was definitely related to him. If he did not come to the store, it must be a sign of guilty conscience.
Unfortunately, when Ling Yun followed the waiter to the man's home in the end, he found that he had already disappeared.
Ling Yun took it for granted that the reason why this man ran away before he found him was because he was afraid of his revenge and fled far away from home.
Because the waiter in the shop told them that this man had no father, no mother, no wife, and no children. He was alone. When he picked up his luggage, he was in a foreign country.
Without the source, there is naturally no evidence, which makes Ling Yun worried and at a loss.
In fact, Ling Yun had a suspicion in his heart, and that was Gao Shijing, but he had no choice but to let it go because there was no evidence.
He also thought about reporting to the official, but when he thought that his master Li Chengyou was about to return to Beijing, he finally held back.
He didn't want Li Chengyou to have unnecessary troubles when he returned to Beijing.
It is said that in July, Ling Yun's master Li Chengyou has expired his three-year term and is about to return to Beijing!
When he left, he left a few trinkets and letters with Ling Yun, telling him that after the provincial examination was over, he would go to the address he wrote for himself more often and walk around these places, as there were his friends there.
These letters and gadgets are all items that prove his identity. Li Chengyou repeatedly warned him not to lose them. Ling Yun naturally nodded in agreement.
It is worth mentioning that most of the places Li Chengyou wrote for him are not very far from Anzhou Prefecture and belong to the Annan Province, or are connected with the Annan Province.
Ling Yun thought, this must have been specially picked out by Li Chengyou, right?
These places are convenient for him to visit.
The reason why Li Chengyou asked Ling Yun to visit his friend was because the capital was far away from Anzhoufu, and it had only been a month or two before he wrote the letter, so he was afraid that he might not get the letter.
After going back and forth, the time on the road was delayed for too long, so Li Chengyou thought that it would be better to let Ling Yun find his friends and let them teach them some experience.
After all, his personal experience is limited, and it would be of every benefit to Ling Yun to learn more about the scientific examination experience of his former friends who were also Jinshi.
Furthermore, he also wanted Ling Yun to move around for him. After all, he really couldn't spare the time, so he happened to have an apprentice to do it for him, which gave him the best of both worlds.
The door-to-door visit should be something Li Chengyou had prepared for Ling Yun early in the morning.
He was able to go there after he passed the exam. It was truly a well-intentioned move, which moved him deeply.
Li Chengyou left, and the fat man also returned to Lingshan County. Ling Yun and Wang Jinghui sat on the boat and headed towards Annan Prefecture, Annan Province.
