Jia Kaicai had only left Xilin County for half a day when something happened. Lin Haoming knew that Liu Yuqing would never come after him for a trivial matter.
Seeing this, Lin Zhen could only watch Lin Haoming leave.
When he arrived at the county government office, Liu Yuqing was already waiting for him at the Department of Internal Affairs. In addition to Liu Yuqing, Lin Haoming saw that Yi Lan and Yu Zhu were also there.
When Liu Yuqing informed him, Lin Haoming felt a little strange, because he called him to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not his office.
"Master Liu, Mrs. Yi!"
Lin Haoming bowed politely, while Liu Yuqing waved his hand and said, "Lin Haoming, stop following so many rules."
"Sir, what is going on?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Both Yang Sheng and Kang Shu have gone with you. Please tell me that if anything happens, you have handled cases in the arrest department and can come to you. Of course, you are also a trustworthy person!" Liu Yuqing said.
"Yuzhu!" At this time, Yi Lan called out to Yu Zhu, who stood guard outside the door to prevent anyone from getting close.
When Lin Haoming saw this situation, he became even more confused. Liu Yuqing said to Yi Lan, "Mrs. Yi, tell me!"
"Okay, Lin Haoming, Qiniang is missing!" Yi Lan said.
"What, my lord's sister is missing?" Lin Haoming said a little surprised.
"Yes, Qiniang originally promised to come to see the master off, but she didn't come, so the master asked me to send someone to see what happened to Qiniang. Who would have thought that after searching for a long time, I couldn't find her, whether it was her residence or Xifeng Tower.
There was no one there, and finally the person sent by the master to protect Qiniang was found in an alley not far from the north gate, but he was already dead!" Yi Lan said.
"The person who protects Qiniang should be a Taoist monk, right?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Yes, and he is also at the top of the Embryo Realm. He is proficient in fighting. I found him from the garrison camp. He is still capable of fighting even against ordinary Shinto realms!" Yi Lan said.
"When was the person found dead?" Lin Haoming asked.
"When the master left the city, the other party seemed to have timed it very accurately!" Liu Yuqing said.
Lin Haoming thought for a while and immediately said: "I'm afraid someone has been planning this matter for a long time. Madam Yi, I would like to ask how many people know about your Lord's departure today? By the way, I only found out about it in the morning.
If the other party wants to make a plan, it’s definitely not possible to know it today, at least it should be known the night before.”
"The master informed the two bosses and several other adults in the morning. Of course, Mr. Liu knew about it early in the morning. In addition, apart from the family members, you are the first to know!" Yi Lan said.
"Lin Tongshi, do you mean there is a ghost in the house?" Liu Yuqing asked in surprise.
"Your Excellency, you are always careful when doing things. The two bosses in the county, Bo, have no intention of competing with you, especially the right boss, Bo Fangcheng, who has been in this county for less than a hundred years. Although the training boss Bo is old, he is still in the local area.
I don’t have a deep background in Xiancheng. Even if I fight Master Liu, it will be dangerous. I won’t jump out rashly. The two county lieutenants in the county are both in charge of the soldiers. There is no reason to attack the master’s sister, so I think I’m afraid it’s better.
…”
"No need to explain, in fact, I thought the same way before you came, and I believe that if the other party knew about it early on, he would have carefully planned it, and would not let us find out so early, at least he would not kill Qiniang's guards in a hurry, so
This news was indeed leaked in advance, but not for long. The master had dinner with us last night, maybe that was the time!" Yi Land said.
"So, we need to investigate several ladies. The master and the eldest lady are not here, can we check it?" Liu Yuqing flinched a little at this time.
"Check, Qiniang is your only sister. If you come back and know that we are hesitant about this, I'm afraid you will blame us. This matter must be investigated! Lin Haoming, what do you think?" Yi Lan said.
By this time, Lin Haoming actually understood something in his heart. Yi Lan had known the situation for a long time, and he was just a knife she used. It was not convenient for her to cause too much trouble among the sisters, so she let herself go ahead.
This woman is really scheming. No wonder Jia Kai asked her to take charge of the Department of Internal Affairs, and Liu Yuqing is obviously an old fox.
Of course, now that I'm here, I can only move forward. If I can really get Qiniang back, I'm afraid I will have Jia Kai's complete trust, and then everything will be different.
"Mrs. Yi, if I really want to investigate, I hope you will support me!" Lin Haoming is not an idiot, so he naturally needs support.
"Don't worry about this, the eldest lady is not here, I have the final say in the back office!" Yi Lan said.
Seeing Yi Lan's tone, Lin Haoming felt that she had misunderstood her. It seemed that she really wanted to find out the results, but she just thought that this matter was related to Jia Kai's wives, so she didn't want too many people to know.
"I have asked Li Wei, the deputy commander of the Internal Security Department, to secretly guard the back office. Li Wei is responsible for guarding the back office. Although he is from the eldest lady, the eldest lady is not here. Now he is completely at my disposal. Next, you follow
Let me go." Yi Lan said.
"Yes!" Lin Haoming agreed, and then followed Yi Lan to Houya together with Liu Yuqing.
Jia Kai had one wife and four concubines, and his wife Liu Yunzhu had already left with Jia Kai, and she was the first person to know about it with Yi Lan, so the matter had nothing to do with her.
If a capable person comes to investigate this matter, he is obviously not the plotter, otherwise he would be shooting himself in the foot. Then the plotter, or at least the whistleblower, is the other three concubines.
Lin Haoming had also seen Jia Kai's other three concubines, namely Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Lu. When he saw them, Lin Haoming discovered that these three ladies, as well as the maids who accompanied the three ladies, were all
They have gathered in a side hall, and there are wine and food on the table, but no one touches it.
In addition to them, there is also a team of female internal guards guarding here, the leader of which is a strong-backed woman, none other than Li Wei.
Li Wei and Lin Haoming had also met her before. When she first heard her name, she thought she was a beautiful woman. Unexpectedly, she was stronger than an average man. Of course, Lin Haoming could also see that this was related to her cultivation techniques and her natural physique.
There is indeed real skill in his hands.
Lin Haoming hadn't officially handled the case yet, but Mrs. Huang couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Sister Yi, you asked Li Wei to bring us here since this afternoon. It's been almost two hours. What do you mean?"
"Even if Mr. Yi and Mrs. Yi are gone, you can't do this to us!" Mrs. Lu also agreed.
"Sister Yi, what's going on? Did something big happen?" Although Mrs. Sun also asked, her tone was much softer. However, all three of them questioned Yi Lan, which made Yi Lan look a little ugly.
