The layers of hoof prints on the ground indicate that the car must have been parked here for a while.
The "Look up and see the joy" posted on the wall must have been torn off by the driver who got bored and stood here waiting.
The obviously aggravated rut marks indicate that someone got on the car and was pulled away.
Combined with what Menzi said just now, no one was with Shen Yunyao, which meant that she had arranged this long ago.
Shen Tianshu couldn't help but fell into deep thought. What was the purpose of Shen Yunyao doing this?
Is it just to let Shen Zhonglei hold him responsible for not taking good care of his sister?
Not to mention that something happened in the garden at that time, and she went to help.
Even if it's true that she didn't take good care of her, the most she could get was a few scoldings and a grounding to copy books. Is it really worth the trouble?
Just when she was puzzled, someone suddenly came over and said to Mrs. Huang: "Madam, the people who went to Shen's Mansion are back. Shen's Mansion said that the two girls have arrived home and everything is safe. They were just a little frightened and drank. Soothing Soup is taking a rest.”
Huang was greatly relieved when he heard this, and secretly thought that he had obviously read the almanac, but why so many things happened today.
Fortunately, Mr. Cheng was rescued, and the two girls of the Shen family were also safe. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do.
She smiled and turned to look at Shen Tianshu and said, "Miss Shen, look, isn't it clear? This is a misunderstanding."
However, Shen Tianshu still frowned, always feeling that things were not that simple.
But the servants of the Jiang family should not dare to spread such false news that can be easily exposed.
Fortunately, Fan Yuru didn't look like Huang, who looked like she felt Shen Tianshu was making a fuss out of a molehill.
Just when Shen Tianshu was hesitating whether to continue investigating along the track or go back home to check the situation, someone suddenly came over and said: "Miss Shen, there is a little maid named Mi'er who said she has something urgent to come to see you."
"Bring people here quickly." Shen Tianshu didn't know how Mi'er came here, but he became more and more convinced that something must have happened.
Not long after, Mi'er was brought over. When he saw Shen Tianshu, he immediately stepped forward. He wanted to say something but was hesitant to say it.
Shen Tianshu pulled her aside and asked in a low voice: "What happened at home?"
Mi'er quickly whispered: "Girl, Grandma Yang asked the servant to tell the girl that someone sent the second and third girls' veils back to the house and asked the master to pay the money to redeem the two girls. Now the family is in chaos. , Nanny Yang got the news and quickly sent the slave out through the back door, otherwise she might not be able to get out."
Shen Tianshu immediately understood why the Huang family sent people to the house to ask, but the family said that the two people had gone back.
If this matter spreads, the reputations of Shen Yunyao and Shen Yunhui will be lost.
Shen Tianshu didn't know what Shen Yunyao was thinking? I don’t know whether this situation was her original plan or she got out of hand?
But she knew that if she didn't get these two people back as soon as possible, not only would Mingyu be implicated, but she would also suffer no good consequences.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, put on a gentle expression, turned around and gave a gentle salute to Mrs. Huang: "I was frightened by Mr. Cheng's incident in the yard just now. As soon as I saw that the sisters were gone, I I'm so panicked, it's so rude, I can't apologize to Mrs. Chiang here."
Mrs. Huang thought that Mi'er was also here to tell her that the other two girls in Shen's house were safe. At this time, seeing that Shen Tianshu had also given in and dared to take Qiao, she said repeatedly: "As a sister, it is normal to care about your sister. Concern leads to chaos, as long as the two girls in the Shen Mansion are okay, then let's go back?"
"I won't go back to the garden. My coachman will come to pick me up in a moment, and I will go home directly. Thank you Madam Chiang for your hospitality today. I will host a banquet at my house in a few days, and I will invite Madam Chiang to come with me to enjoy the occasion."
"It's natural. I really didn't entertain you well today, I didn't entertain you well!" Mrs. Huang said a few polite words and took her servants back to the garden.
Fan Yuru waited for everyone to leave, then asked: "What happened?"
Shen Tianshu bit his lower lip, thinking in his mind that he had no manpower and could not investigate this matter at all. If he wanted to get Fan Yuru's help, he had to confess the truth to him.
"Mr. Fan, what I'm about to say next, I hope you can keep it a secret." Shen Tianshu said solemnly, "My two sisters were kidnapped by thieves, and a letter has been sent to my home asking for money to redeem them. If I dare to speak out, I can only investigate secretly. Since there are some clues here, I hope Mr. Fan can lend me some guards."
In broad daylight, with the world clear, someone dared to kidnap the prefect's daughter, and then go to the house to ask for ransom?
Fan Yuru couldn't help but be a little surprised. You must know that under Shen Zhonglei's rule in Yongzhou Prefecture in recent years, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the public security has always been good.
Shen Tianshu looked at Fan Yuru's surprised look, sighed quietly and said: "I suspect that the two sisters were young and ignorant and were deceived, which is why this happened, but no matter what the reason is, I hope Mr. Fan Can help me."
"No problem. I brought five guards today, and they are all at your disposal."
Fan Yuru is now obviously more curious about Shen Tianshu than the security issues in Yongzhou Prefecture. He also wants to know how far Shen Tianshu, a seemingly weak and frail little girl, can achieve.
Shen Tianshu first arranged for two guards to trace down the ruts and asked them to pay attention to questioning passers-by. Although they were likely to return without success, they could not let go of this clue easily.
"Minghui, go to Mingyu's house to find his brother and ask him to go out and find out if there is a coachman who is about five feet one to five feet three inches tall. He should be driving a two-wheel mule cart. Such a big cart is in There aren’t many in the city, let’s see if we can find out anything.”
Fan Yuru was confused. How did he know his height? Could it be that I missed some clues?
After Shen Tianshu finished explaining, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Miss Shen, how do you know the coachman's height?"
Shen Tianshu gestured at the height of the wall and said, "He was standing here waiting for someone. He was so bored that he would tear off the red paper on the wall. According to common sense, this thing is usually the only thing that is posted at the right position. He would tear it unconsciously to pass the time when it was easy to tear. If it is too high or too low, it will make people feel uncomfortable, so I speculate that this person's height is probably within this range."
Fan Yuru's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she couldn't help but express her admiration, praising her repeatedly: "Miss Shen is really as careful as hair and quick in thinking. Fan admires her."
However, Shen Tianshu couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I was just forced out. I don't know if that's the case. Master Fan, it's better not to praise him too early. The most important thing is to find him first." .”
