Chapter 334 – Another Disappearance Case
Jiang Yishi remembered Zheng Yu’s trip to Xiqing and pouted, “Are you hiding anything from me?”
Saying that, she also gently poked Meng Zhimo’s chest.
“What matters?”
“Why did Zheng Ji let Zheng Yu go to Xiqing?”
Meng Ruimo knew that this couldn’t be hidden for long, Zheng Tingting would definitely tell her.
Said, “Uncle Zheng suddenly wanted to return to the capital to serve. But the western area is where Grandfather and he have operated for decades, so there has to be someone who is most at ease there. My main battlefield is around the capital, Resignation Reading doesn’t have that ability yet, so I just had to let Zheng Yu go over first.”
Jiang Yishi couldn’t figure it out, “Why does Zheng Ji suddenly want to return to the capital to serve?”
It was pitch black in the Luo tent, and Meng Ruimo’s eyes still averted for a moment. He vaguely said, “He’s getting older and wants to spend more time with the Grand Princess.”
Jiang Yishi didn’t believe it, “It’s only that simple?”
“That’s what he wrote in his letter to grandfather. As for whether or not he has other ideas, even grandfather can’t guess, so I’m even less sure.”
Jiang Yishi felt that perhaps she had gotten ahead of herself, that Zheng Ji had come back not because of her, but really for filial piety. As people grew older, the ideas they had when they were young would change. Perhaps one day Zheng Ji would come to his senses and make up with He.
She said, “If Jumbo chased after Zheng Yu, could he be willing for him to go thousands of miles away?”
Meng Zhimo said, “A man’s future, the family’s prosperity and hope, no one can stop it.”
“What if I let you go?”
Meng Zhimo came forward and kissed her, smiling, “I will also go, and will take you and the children with me.”
Jiang Yishi was satisfied and quickly went to sleep.
Meng Zhimo, however, couldn’t sleep.
He was helpless. When he wanted to make Zheng Ji happy, he wrote about how Yin’er was like him. He suddenly wanted to return to the capital because he hadn’t accompanied Shiji as she grew up and wanted to accompany Yin’er as she grew up.
It wasn’t just Shiji who didn’t want Zheng Ji to return to the capital, the old man didn’t want to either, and that included the Emperor.
The Emperor was hoping that Zheng Ji would stay there to hold down the fort for a few more years, and the old master was hoping that Zheng Ji would come back after he had trained his successor. But neither of them could refuse this request from Zheng Ji.
Meng Zhimo knew he was in trouble and didn’t dare to tell the truth.
The next day, at c.m., the cold stars twinkled and the cold wind was blowing.
Jiang Yixi sent Meng Ruimo out of the room.
She thought in her heart, her husband went up and down to the court in stars and moonlight, seeing one another for nine days, and she was still unable to give up. If Li Zhenbao chased Zheng Yu, would he be willing to go thousands of miles away and see him once every two or three years?
Li Zhenbao is not like himself, he said to go away. And Li Zhenbao, there is the elderly Empress Dowager, and especially sticky her Yong Wang, they will not let her far away from the border …….
Xiao Zhenbao wants to be with her lover for a long time, there is still a long way to go.
In the evening, the men went down to the government office and said a strong news.
There is another case of missing young woman in the capital, the daughter-in-law of a sixth grade official.
Five days ago disappeared, the first three days the family did not dare to report the case, they secretly look for. The family didn’t dare to report it for the first three days, but searched for it themselves. When they didn’t find it, they reported it to the government, and the government officials searched for two days without finding it, and then the case came to light.
This time, the murderer sneaked into the house at night to commit the crime.
This case occurred nearly half a year after the last missing young woman case. The cases had two things in common: the victims were all young women between the ages of twenty and twenty-eight, from official families or merchants, and the time and place of the crime were arbitrary.
The government judges that the cases are committed by the same murderer, who is highly skilled in martial arts and specializes in smoke.
The Emperor was enraged and ordered the joint efforts of the Beijing Zhaofu and the Ministry of Justice to solve the case as soon as possible.
The degree of influence of these cases is polarized in two levels. Officials’ houses and wealthy merchants’ houses were on edge, fearing that the next target would come out of their own houses. While many commoners are privately applauding, saying that the people involved are the ones who took the money by force, and that the murderer had a “righteous” character.
In addition to major events, the capital does not curfew. Although this is a big, not to the point of curfew, but also impossible to solve the case before the day curfew.
Officials’ houses and wealthy merchants only have to step up their own nighttime precautions.
That little daughter-in-law was a relative of the Third Mistress of Meng’s in a roundabout way, and the Third Mistress sighed as she listened.
“Poor thing, I’m afraid I’m already dead. Even if he comes back alive, he’ll either go into the family temple or worship Buddha for a long time, and won’t come out to see people again.”
The old lady was frightened, and told a few men, “Have the guards and night watchwomen keep an eye out, don’t let anything happen at night.”
Meng Er Laozi said, “Mother, don’t worry, our family has so many secret guards, there are also night guards and grannies, nothing can happen at night.”
Only after saying this did he realize that he was talking too much. Sister-in-law’s fat beating of big brother didn’t just happen at night.
He coughed and glanced at Duke Cheng out of the corner of his eye.
Duke Cheng didn’t like hearing this and felt that Eldest was mocking himself.
His nose lightly “hmph”, blankly glanced at Liu’s face. In his heart, he thought, if the murderer is not long-eyed to come to rob her, certainly can not be robbed …….
Liu’s gaze swept towards him, and his gaze turned away.
The old Duke of State said, “Do your best at home, and don’t go out if there’s nothing wrong with you several young daughters-in-law.”
His eyes looked in Meng Yue’s direction.
What he was most worried about was still this eldest granddaughter.
Jiang Yishi didn’t care much about this case because the martial arts exams were about to start. She woke up early every day to cook soup and have it delivered to Jiang Xun at the Jiang family.
On the ninth, twelfth and fifteenth of October, the three countryside examinations for the martial arts section were held as scheduled.
The first horse archery, the second foot archery, and the third curricula.
The day after the last test, Jiang Xun personally came to the floating residence. The old master is in the garden, see him come, also went to the floating life residence, also let people put Qu Xiu and Hu Jiwen invited.
The old master listened to Jiang Xun’s report, said he will be able to win, the ranking will not be too far behind.
Jiang Chen was only sixteen years old, if he could achieve this, he could be considered young and talented.
The old master smiled and narrowed his eyes, in his opinion, Jiang Xun was his closed little disciple.
Jiang Yishi was overjoyed and hurriedly asked the kitchen to make more dishes and invited them to drink and eat at the Floating Life Residence.
October 18th list.
In the morning, the sunrise was fiery and the sky was blue.
Jiang Xun took Jiang Da to see the list in front of the Beijing Zhaowu Office.
The number of people who take the martial arts exam is much less than the number of people who take the literature exam, and the number of people admitted is also less; only thirty people were admitted to the martial arts exam this year.
Look at the list of people there are hundreds of people, black crowded into a piece. There are also women on the outside, sitting in carriages.
Those carriages are likely to sit in which the official family miss, fancy which candidate, the family to a “list under the catch son-in-law.”
At the stroke of the hour, a gong sounded, and the magistrate took the “golden list” and stuck it on the door of the department.
A group of people flocked to the door.
A magistrate loudly sang the names of the students on the list, from back to front.
When he heard “the seventeenth, Jiang Xun, Jeju people ……”, Jiang Da together with the station jumped up.
He smiled and shouted, “second master, you won, you won, seventeenth place.”
Jiang Xun was also so happy that he couldn’t see his teeth.
The two squeezed out of the crowd, and people looked at the teenager enviously.
Heroic and handsome, outstanding temperament. Also so young, at most sixteen, seventeen years old, not to mention this section of the youngest, in the past so young lifts also rare ah ……
