Chapter 82: Looking through old materials, Fang Zhi is in a serious situation
Naturally, Jin Zhaoning did not wake up to give Qin Shaobai a surprise.
She slept soundly, like a sleeping child.
Jin Guizhen said that Xiaolan sent Snow Flower Yangming Pills again, so Jin Zhaoning's life should not be in danger.
That night, everyone was very happy, only Qin Shaobai was depressed.
"Master Qin, do you know what songs are popular on the streets now?"
Seeing Qin Shaobai's listless face, Li Xian wanted to brighten the atmosphere.
Qin Shaobai shrugged and shook his head indifferently.
"You don't know, the people of Nanyang County regard Mr. Qin as Master Qingtian, the most knowledgeable Master Qingtian."
When Li Xian said this, everyone came over with great interest.
Li Xian said that when you walk on the streets of Nanyang County now, you can hear people in the streets reciting the Nanyang County Magistrate.
Whenever someone spoils their children too much, someone will use examples of making money to make money to persuade them.
The children even regarded Mr. Qin's last few words as tongue twisters, and the streets and alleys were filled with cute children's voices.
I wish that in Nanyang, my father is kind and my son is filial, my brothers and sisters are respectful, if one person is in trouble, everyone will help me, and Nanyang will be beautiful, which will warm my heart.
"Really? Did they really say that about me?"
Qin Shaobai finally came over, with a look of relief on his face.
"Yes, Mr. Qingtian Knowledge, come and have a drink happily."
Qin Shaobai burst out laughing.
Looking up, he saw Song Ci looking at him quietly, with the same appreciation and relief in his eyes as before.
After Mr. Qian's case was concluded, Nanyang County seemed to have returned to its former orderly rhythm.
Mrs. Qian took her family back to her hometown. Before leaving, she donated the Qian family's yard to serve as a school for the children.
As a result, almost all children in Nanyang County can attend school. Some children studying in private schools started clamoring to come when they saw how well treated the children at Xiaolin Academy were.
Qin Shaobai and Song Ci discussed it, and they found a few old gentlemen from private schools in Nanyang County. Without spending much effort, everyone agreed to divide the county into two regions, the north and the south. The original Qin Mansion was used as Xiaolin Academy and the south
The Qian family serves as the North Campus of Xiaolin Academy, and all school-age children in the county are arranged to attend school.
In addition to the old private school teacher, Mr. Xishan also invited some of his old friends from the imperial court to teach these children. He did this every day, giving the entire Nanyang County an air of elegance.
For school meals, Qin Shaobai used the bidding method to choose a high-quality and low-priced restaurant, and prepared the same meals for every child every day, regardless of rich or poor, but it gave the children in the college a fair share.
Heart.
Li Xiaolin became the dean of the college twice in one fell swoop, and he was so happy that he kept talking every day.
However, sometimes when he was free, he would still find Qin Shaobai and ask him how the nationwide collection of palm prints that Song Ci mentioned was going.
I was annoyed by Li Xiaolin's quarrel, so I opened a martial arts class for the children in Nanyang County, and asked Li Xiaolin to lead four subordinates to teach the children the most basic martial arts.
I don't know if the school's gentle atmosphere infected the bad guys, but the disappearance of the children that Song Ci and Qin Shaobai were worried about didn't happen, and there was no news about the eight children in Yonghe Village. No news is sometimes the best news.
However, Qin and Song did not relax for a moment.
But the previous clues were cut off one by one.
No tailor shop has received orders for fur coats made from raccoon fur.
There were people transporting papayas at the dock in Nanyang County, but that person was entrusted by Wangxianglou Jin Guizhen to transport papayas for cooking.
The current clues couldn't be used, so the two went to look for clues from the past.
Song Ci collected all the cases of death due to palm force from all over the country in the past ten years.
Qin Shaobai tried his best to look at all the case files of missing children in the past few years.
Looking for a needle in a haystack, if you can really find such a needle, that would be great.
I really didn't expect that Qin Shaobai would find the information of the first three children found in that pile of case files.
Those three children were indeed not from Nanyang County. They were not from the Song Dynasty, but from the Jin Kingdom.
What surprised Qin Shaobai even more was that those three children were not ordinary Jin people.
It is recorded in the files that the three children turned out to be members of the Jin Kingdom's royal family.
Four years ago, these three children came to DaSong with their parents.
They traveled to many places, and finally settled in Nanyang County, and the inn they stayed at was Wangxiang Tower.
The parents were busy with business, but the three children were quite well-behaved. They stayed at home and only played in Wangxiang Building.
That day was the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The parents' business was particularly prosperous, so they told their three children to stay at home and wait until they closed the stall before letting them go out to the night market and eat their favorite Yangzhou fried rice.
But when they returned to Wangxiang Tower, they found that the three children were missing.
They thought the three children had gone out to watch the fun, so they hurried out to search for them all night, but couldn't find even a shadow.
The next day, the third day... They searched for a whole month, and finally believed that the three children had been kidnapped.
"I had also heard about this case at the time."
Song Ci took the case file handed over by Qin Shaobai and frowned deeply.
"At that time, I heard that two of the three children were the biological sons of the couple. The other one, whose identity is even more incredible, is the nephew of the current emperor."
"Since you are a noble of the Jin Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom will definitely use diplomatic means. Why does it seem that you don't take this matter very seriously?"
Song Ci glanced sideways at Qin Shaobai.
"That year, Prime Minister Han led an all-out attack from Sichuan, Xiangfan, and Huaihe River. It was too late for the Jin people to hide in the Song Dynasty. How could they dare to say that they were Jin people or nobles?"
"This case file was obviously added later. It should have been after the peace agreement between Jin and Song Dynasties was signed that the parents of that family wanted the court to use its power to help find it."
"But there's still no news, is there?"
"Yes, I heard that the final verdict at that time was that someone knew the identities of the three children and spread their hatred of Jin Guo on the three children. If the original culprit could not be found, it would be settled."
"What a shame for a child!"
Song Ci sighed and stopped talking.
"Master Song, now that we know that these three children were killed not by the hatred of the people, but by a criminal organization, the imperial court can give an explanation to the Kingdom of Jin."
"Yes, this may be the only gain from this case." Song Ci looked at the case file, "It's Wangxiang Tower again?"
"Sir Song, do you also think that the appearance of the three characters "Wangxianglou" is very strange?"
Seeing that Song Ci was reminiscing, Qin Shaobai asked, "It was said that Miss Lan Yu disappeared in Yanshan, but could it be that she was not in Yanshan at all, but also in Wangxiang Tower?"
Song Ci said nothing.
After a long time, he sat down, spread out his pen and paper, and started writing.
Qin Shaobai leaned down to take a look.
It was a map of events, with the time, people, and locations clearly marked.
Song Ci put a lot of question marks behind the words "Wangxianglou".
"Master Song, what really happened?"
"That year, the Wangxiang Tower had just been built. You must not have guessed who the first owner of the Wangxiang Tower was?"
Qin Shaobai raised his ears.
"Then the first owner was the Sixth Prince of the current dynasty, and Wangxiang Tower was built by him in order to make friends in the world and gain more talents for the court."
Seeing that Qin Shaobai didn't speak, Song Ci was still listening to him seriously. He wanted to mention the past events again, but his heart was filled with sadness. He let out another long sigh, stood up, and looked at Xiao Shan and the others who were practicing in the yard.
The gathering of cases some time ago made Qin Shaobai deeply feel that the county government was short of manpower. Although Nanyang County also had a city guard, Qin Shaobai had not seen the leader of the guard until now.
I heard that the leader of the self-prepared camp was named Lu Zhilun. He was not very skilled in martial arts and was not strict in military management. However, he was very aloof and aloof. Ordinary people would not be able to ask him to do anything.
Qin Shaobai was also too lazy to ask for help, so he thought that instead of asking for help after the incident happened, it would be better to recruit more people and train them properly.
As soon as the news spread that the county government was recruiting for arrests, many young men came to sign up.
They selected some with better basic skills and handed them over to Xiao Shan for training. Nanquan would occasionally come to help teach these young men some martial arts, while Song Ci taught the young men some evidence-based knowledge.
It has only been more than a month of training, and the boys seem to be presentable.
