As soon as Xiao Yuchen returned to his house, he saw Wen Jin holding a letter with a solemn expression.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yuchen stepped forward and tried to touch her forehead, "Does your face look so bad?"
Wen Jin handed him the letter in his hand.
"In spring, Yingxiang and Xiaokui were kidnapped."
Xiao Yuchen's face turned solemn as he took the letter and read it.
"Give up the establishment of a girls' school, otherwise the four of them will die..."
Xiao Yuchen frowned and looked up from the letter, "Who could it be?"
"Four people? Who is the other person?" Wen Jin asked doubtfully.
"Or the coachman?" Xiao Yuchen pondered, "Who sent the letter?"
"The concierge said it was a child with a bag of preserved fruits from Wufangzhai in his hand."
Children these days still don’t know “don’t talk to strangers” and “don’t eat food given by strangers”.
A pack of preserved fruits bought them over.
It is impossible to find clues from the person who sent the message.
"Don't worry, I will instruct the Imperial City Department to investigate secretly." Xiao Yuchen gently shook her shoulder.
He didn't even bother to change his clothes, and hurried out again, ordering his men to search in the dark.
Because there were threatening words in the letter, he specifically told him that he must be careful and proceed quietly.
That night, Fengchun was not at home.
Even Banxia, who usually found her noisy, felt uneasy.
"Stop walking around like a pendulum, it makes people dizzy." Wen Jin said.
Banxia was serious about her words. She didn't ask what the pendulum was. She just clenched her fists and said, "Princess, it's too late. You should go and rest first. I will call you when there is news."
Wen Jin held his head and said, "Wait a little longer, wait until the prince comes back..."
What if Xiao Yuchen can bring back some news?
"Princess, let your maid look for her too!" Banxia tensed up for a long time, but couldn't help but beg again.
Wen Jin pursed his lips and said, "Kyoto is so big, people deliberately hide them... Where are you going to find them? Fengchun hasn't found them yet, what if you..."
Wen Jin suddenly stopped talking. The teacher once said that you should not say depressing words when working.
It was late at night, but neither the master nor the servants of Qinghe House slept.
Wen Jin sat there, resting his head on his hands, and took a nap.
"Fengchun!"
She exclaimed.
Banxia immediately jumped up, "Princess?"
Wen Jin breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a nightmare... The dream was bloody and terrible.
"Is the prince back?"
Wen Jin looked at the sky and saw that it was almost dawn.
Banxia shook her head, her face becoming more worried and anxious.
Wen Jin raised his hand and patted her shoulder.
"Princess, please go get some sleep first." Banxia said. They all knew that Wen Jinai was sleepy.
Wen Jin shook his head, "I'm not sleepy now. I'm going to wash my face and take a walk in the corridor."
While talking, Xiao Yuchen hurried back from outside.
Seeing his serious expression, Wen Jin's heart sank immediately.
Xiao Yuchen held two envelopes in his hands.
One is thin and flat, the other is bulging.
"This is……"
Wen Jin hasn't finished speaking yet.
Xiao Yuchen gently held her shoulders and said, "Jin'er, you must calm down and don't panic..."
Wen Jin opened the bulging envelope...
Before she opened it, she had a strong uneasy feeling in her heart.
After opening...
She gasped - a finger!
She was slender and fair, her nails were beautifully trimmed and rounded, and her fingertips were cut neatly. They were cut off directly with a sharp instrument!
"Index finger...whose index finger is this?"
Wen Jin said, standing up suddenly, holding her index finger, and ran towards the inner room.
"Jin'er, you..."
"Don't follow me!"
Wen Jin said anxiously.
After the severed finger is removed from the body, the best time to restore it is within six hours!
If you leave the body for too long, the cells will die! The chances of accepting jobs will plummet!
She hurried into the inner room just to take the opportunity to put her severed finger into the spiritual spring space and soak it in the spiritual spring water.
Lingquan space has excellent preservation effect.
Maybe it can also extend the preservation time of severed fingers...
"Jin'er..."
"princess!"
Wen Jin walked out of the inner room holding a box.
"I'm fine. What did you write in the letter?" Wen Jin's face was serious but calm.
She kept the little box close to her hand.
The others stared at the box... They all thought she had put her severed finger in the box.
"It's pretty much the same as the last one."
Xiao Yuchen took out the letter and handed it to her.
The letter paper is still stained with blood... It's hard to tell that the person who wrote the letter didn't do it on purpose.
"The princess doesn't know martial ethics, but she can use the Imperial City Department to investigate... One finger is disrespectful. Four people, forty fingers... Let's play slowly."
"If you want them to go back alive, the princess must make it clear to the emperor and the world that a school for girls will never be built! Women must not be used..."
"If a woman studies, does business, engages in politics, or engages in military affairs... she is nothing but a chicken! It is contrary to the laws of nature!"
"I'll give you three days! If you insist on it - just wait and collect their bodies for them!"
Wen Jin slapped the letter on the table.
Xiao Yuchen looked guilty, "The letter was found outside the Yamen. I don't know who left it there, and I don't know how long it took to leave it."
"It didn't take long," Wen Jin said. "Judging from the severed finger, it was less than two hours."
"That is to say... the Imperial City Division found out not long after they took action?" Xiao Yuchen frowned.
"Recall the Imperial City Division and tell them there is no need to investigate." Wen Jin said.
Xiao Yuchen looked shocked, "Are you going to give up? Do what you said in the letter?"
Wen Jin looked at him deeply and said, "No, the Imperial City Department is an institution set up by the emperor to supervise all officials and control the emperor's centralized power.
"The focus of the Imperial City Division is among officials and dignitaries. The south of the city is full of poor people, which is where their power is out of reach.
"Although the person who gave the order must be among the powerful... but the most important thing now is to find them first and rescue them, so that they will not be controlled by others."
Xiao Yuchen nodded slightly.
Since the last time, he discovered that although he controlled the Imperial City Division, the Imperial City Division was not subordinate to him and was not loyal to him.
He established his own news channel...but it was the same as the Imperial City Division.
His news channels and sphere of influence did not cover the slums in the south of the city.
"The prince has revoked the order, but people still need to be found," Wen Jin said, "I'll think of another way."
Wen Jin got up and returned to the bedroom.
She flew as an eagle to pass the message to Master Que.
Master Que is no longer in Beijing, but her power and information network are still there.
Moreover, the letter eagle flies very fast, so it won't be delayed for long.
That afternoon, Wen Jin received a reply from Master Que.
The letter stated that she rushed to Kyoto as soon as she received the letter and ordered various channels to investigate. If there was any news, she would tell Wen Jin as soon as possible.
At the end of the letter, Mr. Que expressed her attitude firmly and sincerely.
"Girls' education is a must! Everything is difficult at the beginning! Women have no advantage in terms of physical strength and force.
"If you don't have the right to study, broaden your horizons, and gain knowledge... you can only be bullied and deceived by men!
"Who said women can only be reduced to appendages? Who said women are stupid and ignorant? Who deprived women of the opportunity to increase their knowledge? Men are born to know everything?
“Although this matter is difficult and the resistance is huge, we have made a good start and we must not give up all our efforts!
"Princess, wait for me, Queer is coming back quickly to help you!"
