The third lady frowned slightly as she listened to the people who had gone out to report the news that they had come back.
When the other party finished speaking, she said: "Really?!"
"It can't be fake! I'm already with you!" The person who came was none other than Zhao Liangjian. Since his great efforts in the rescue work, he has now been absorbed by He Liansheng as a "peripheral". Although he has no name or status, he is the most important person in the world.
There was plenty of money, friendship, and success, so he was naturally willing to serve.
These days, he and his friends were scattered around the capital, inquiring about all kinds of suspicious information, and monitoring various places according to the list.
The place where he monitored was the house of "Mr. Zhou" in Wang Gongchang provided by Liu Zheng.
Unexpectedly, the house did not yield any clues through surveillance, but instead uncovered a new case.
"What is this man's background? Is there anyone behind him?"
"It's hard to say whether there is anyone, but he is well-known in the world. His job is to seize women and resell them. He is known as 'Jade Face Pan An', but his real name is Pan Chengan."
"Jade-faced Pan An?" The third lady sneered and said, "You think he is very handsome?"
"It sounds like he is just a handsome man." Zhao Liangjian said, "It's just that he has the most thorough understanding of women's hearts, is good at all kinds of little things, and is also very good at picking up battles. If a woman falls in love with him,
His hands are like maggots attached to the bones, which can no longer be shaken off."
"So powerful?"
"Exactly." Zhao Liangjian said, "If not, how could I do this?"
"Although this is a low-level job, it still requires some real skills." Sanniangzi said, "Please tell me the whole story in detail."
"What are Mr. Zhou's two concubines in this mansion..." Zhao Liangjian said that Pan Chengan had long been eyeing Zhou's mansion because there had been no male master here for a long time, but there were two young women with young children. The most important thing was that there was no male master here for a long time.
It's easy to get started.
Unexpectedly, although he was "fat", it was difficult to attack. It took Pan Chengan several months of hard work to seize the opportunity when they went out for incense and used his "charm" for the first time.
Zhao Liangjian didn't know the specific process. However, there were routines for seizing women, and they were just a few tricks. In short, Pan Chengan became interested in Yourong Lang's concubine.
"About two months ago, the two had a secret meeting in a nunnery in the south of the city, and Pan Cheng'an took over." Zhao Liangjian said, "I will probably instigate her to flee."
"Didn't you say that this mansion is very tightly guarded? The two concubines only burn incense and go to the temple fair on the first and fifteenth day of every month. Even the servants rarely go out."
"Sanniang, you have always been a nurse in the inner courtyard. You know very well what happens to the female relatives. Which big family is not strict, but which family can prevent these things! As long as it happens.
With this thought, I can still get things done even in the prison."
After listening to this, Sanniangzi didn't know how to deal with it. This matter seemed to be related but not related to the arrest of "Mr. Le", and whether to intervene became a dilemma.
Logically speaking, there is no trace of "Mr. Le" or the more mysterious "Mr. Zhou" in the next week's residence, so if anything happens in the residence, one should not intervene, so as not to alert the enemy; but watching the bad guys abduct women, will
Not saving someone when they are pushed into a pit of fire is against the ethics of the escorts.
"Can things be settled quietly?"
"It's probably impossible." Zhao Liangjian said, "It's easy to kill Jade Face Pan An, but many colleagues in the capital know about his case."
If Pan Chengan disappeared suddenly, everyone would know that someone was secretly intervening in this matter. This potential surveillance point would be meaningless.
"Then we can only allow him to abduct the woman." The third lady breathed out unwillingly and murmured, "These are unworthy! Can't we live without a man?!"
Zhao Liangjian had already sensed that Sanniang wanted to take care of this matter, but she couldn't do it due to the task. He was in a dilemma. He thought for a while and said, "It's okay if Sanniang wants to take care of this matter. After Pan Cheng'an succeeds, most likely
They will sell this woman to southern customers on the canal, and then intercept her."
"How do you know he will sell to customers on the boat?"
"This house is a place that Wanping County has confessed to. No one dares to do it at ordinary times." Zhou Zhai is a place where Wang Yehao specially sent a message to the Wanping County Yamen to take care of it. The thieves dare not take action. So "take it away"
It is unlikely that someone will be tied up at the door - this is an act of courting death at the feet of the emperor, but if the female family members escape in secret, they will have nothing to do with the yamen.
"... Even so, we have to guard against Ku taking the initiative to use official status to ask for someone. Therefore, if he gets his hands on the woman, he will sell the woman far away. This way, he can be clean from beginning to end without affecting himself."
"Good fellow, these monsters!" Sanniangzi frowned in disgust, "That's fine, it's up to you. You can keep me informed about things over there at any time."
After listening to Xu Yong's report, Zhou Lezhi stopped the pen in his hand. He slowly put it down, thought for a moment and asked: "Who do you think they are?"
"Nine times out of ten, it's the one who wrote the note (to abduct women)!" Xu Yong said anxiously.
Zhou Lezhi thought of what Wang Zhi said so generously, and then recalled that Liu Zheng had said something similar before he disappeared, and felt a little hesitant.
This matter is not groundless, he has heard about it for a long time, but even if there is no real evidence, and he is the "apprentice", he cannot directly intervene. If he reports it to Mr. Wang, he is afraid that the matter will be messed up and the teacher will be insulted.
Originally, the master was quite open-minded towards women, and always said "if they suit you, stay, if not, leave". He also said that if one day Yourong or Yui no longer want to follow him, he will not object if they want to marry someone else. Not only will they not
If you object, you will be given a generous dowry.
Zhou Lezhi didn't have to be "guarded" by Yourong and the others. After all, the master was still alive or not, and it was unknown whether he would come back if he was alive. Such "care" that was tantamount to house arrest was not enough for them to worry about.
Strange.
That's fine, the problem is that she is Zhou Newton's "biological mother". Although he, Wang Zhi, Xu Yong, and the Liu brothers all knew that both Newton and Curie were Xibei goods obtained by Liu Wei, but these few
They have lived together for years, and the master has a deep affection for the two children. If Yourong takes away Zhou Newton or something unexpected happens during the abduction, how will he explain to the master?
"Whether Yourong is out of line or deceived by others. Those who seek her must be evil people. If she really falls into their hands, I'm afraid she will be doomed." Zhou Lezhi said solemnly, "It's time to report this to the master quickly.
"
"Yes!" Xu Yong was very excited when he saw Mr. Le's firm attitude. He nodded vigorously and said, "I was really kidnapped. Mr. Le has come back and lost his family. It's hard for us to explain."
"Call Wang Zhi."
Wang Zhi had been reading novels these days, and Zhou Lezhi had been putting off the matter that Zhou Lezhi had asked him to send out New Year's goods. When he heard Zhou Lezhi calling him, he thought it was something like this, so he quickly defended himself: "Sir! I'm not a little kid.
No, it’s just that my legs have been hurting for the past few days..."
"I think it's not your legs that hurt, it's your butt that's itchy!" Zhou Lezhi scolded with a smile, "Ask the housekeeper to give you forty bucks and you'll feel better!"
"Sir, have mercy! I'll do it now, little one!" Wang Zhi said hurriedly. Although Zhou Lezhi is usually kind, cute and young, he is a first-class celebrity in front of Mr. Wang. The key is that he is different from the previous Mr. Zhou.
Same, "will be the master".
"Wait a minute!" Zhou Lezhi muttered, "take Xu Yong with you this time."
"Yes, yes." Wang Zhi nodded repeatedly.
"You pretend to be a little boy carrying something. Don't show your face."
"I understand, little one!"
"When you arrive at the house, don't put down your things and leave. You should investigate carefully." Zhou Lezhi said solemnly, "Especially in a spacious house!"
Wang Zhi was startled and said: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
"What's wrong?" Zhou Lezhi said, "Didn't you say that she was 'very restless'?"
"Yes, that's what the young one said. But after all, she is Mr. Zhou's concubine, and she has a son at her knees. Her status is unusual. When the young ones go to deliver things, the most they can do is look at the curtain in the courtyard to say hello and say a few words.
In a word, how can we strictly investigate? Not to mention the difference between men and women, the superiority and inferiority cannot be messed up."
Zhou Lezhi thought that Wang Zhi was right. Both Wang Zhi and Xu Yong were "servants", so how could they investigate the appearance of half the master? Let alone break into the house.
Speaking of which, I am just the "disciple", and Yourong Yui is the "master". Even if I go there in person, I cannot go to "strict investigation".
But at this moment, he had no place to find a high-status woman to help. He immediately said: "In this case, you two go first. Since you can't go inside the house, you can walk around the courtyard privately to see if there is anything suspicious.
." He suddenly remembered something, and then ordered, "If there is something wrong with Yourong, someone is probably secretly assisting her, either a servant at home or some aunt or uncle. Please carefully ask the people who serve in the mansion!"
At this point, Wang Zhi also knew that the matter was important and hurriedly agreed. He also said: "The two families serving in Zhou's house are the sons of the master, so they are the most reliable. I am afraid that there will be outsiders to seduce them."
"I'm in charge of this matter, you just ask," Zhou Lezhi said, "If someone is dishonest, you can come back to me."
"yes!"
"Xu Yong!" Zhou Lezhi said, "I've been bothering you with guarding the house for the past few days. Someone will come to take your place within three days."
"Yes, I understand!" Xu Yong hesitated for a moment and then said, "What if something happens within three days that I can't handle alone?"
"Didn't your master teach you? The capital is at the feet of the emperor. No matter how arrogant the thieves are, they would not dare to break in and seize people. Just watch and don't let people run out!" Zhou Lezhi said with a smile, "But you are quite thoughtful!
"
"Thank you sir." Xu Yong was very happy. It was a very honorable thing to be praised by this master's think tank. It was also related to his future status in the Shi Weng Group.
