Many years ago, the Liu family lost a daughter, but within a few days, the child was found.
It is said that he was knocked unconscious and planned to sell it, but he was rescued before he could successfully transfer it out.
Cheng Jingzhou clicked on the name: "Go and check about Liu Meng's abduction five years ago."
Master Wu nodded: "Yes, sir."
Cheng Jingzhou called Ping An again and asked him to find Xie Xian Cheng and bring him the files from five years ago.
"Sir, do you want to bring all the files here?"
"Just bring it with you for half a year."
Cheng Jingzhou was worried that there were other spies in the yamen, so he didn't dare to expose too much at once.
Sure enough, the county government office has relevant records of the Liu family's report five years ago.
Five years ago, Liu Meng was just a seven-year-old child. He was taken out of the house to play by his servants and then disappeared. At that time, the Liu family reported the case. The Liu family and the county government mobilized people to look for it. Moreover, Chen Bo at that time also Orders were given to seal the city gates.
It was precisely because they had no way to leave the city that those people could not escape. Later, the careful Chen Bo found their traces and rescued them.
It was only three days between Liu Meng's disappearance and his rescue.
Cheng Jingzhou looked carefully and found that all the relevant criminals at that time had been executed or exiled, and no one was missing.
Cheng Jingzhou frowned, always feeling that he had overlooked something, and then looked at the case file again and again.
Finally, Cheng Jingzhou locked his sights on a geographical location.
The other party is hiding in an unused house, and the location of this house seems to be a bit close to Du Mansion, right?
Cheng Jingzhou asked Ping An to investigate again, and soon the results were obtained.
"This house was bought by the Du Fu six years ago. At that time, they were considering expanding the house, but because they had not yet reached an agreement with other companies, they were not in a hurry to start renovations. This was until four years ago. Construction just started on the edge.”
Cheng Jingzhou nodded. In other words, the place where the kidnappers took Liu Meng and the other children to hide was the Du family's house?
But even so, Master Liu shouldn't just hate the Du family?
This is somewhat irrelevant.
After all, anyone with eyes can see that when the Du family bought this place, they did not start construction because other places had not been negotiated. Moreover, this was an idle house, and it was not the Du family who deliberately hid the kidnapper. .
Cheng Jingzhou went through the confession again and confirmed that those people jumped over the wall to live in the house themselves and were not rented to them by the owner.
Cheng Jingzhou felt that he still missed something, so he had to re-read the case of Liu Meng's abduction several times.
Seeing that he was busy investigating the case, Xie Rongzhao personally brought the food over.
Only then did Cheng Jingzhou notice that it was getting late.
"Why did you bring it here? I'll just go back and eat it."
"You will continue to be busy for a while, right? Then stop running back and forth and eat quickly."
Cheng Jingzhou smiled and picked up the chopsticks: "My dear, you still care about me."
Xie Rongzhao rolled his eyes at him, which was met with a chuckle from Cheng Jingzhou, and the two began to eat.
Dinner is relatively simple, with two vegetarian dishes, one meat dish, and a vegetable soup.
"Don't work too late, your health is important."
"I know, just let the servants take care of these."
Before Cheng Jingzhou finished speaking, Ping An came in to clean up.
"I'll take my wife back. It's getting late. Don't slip again."
"No, A Tao and Chen Xia are waiting outside. Then I'll go back first. Ping An, let me light a few more lamps for you adults, don't burn out your eyes."
"Yes, ma'am."
Cheng Jingzhou from Feng County was so busy that he was dizzy. Xie Xiuwen from the capital was even busier than him. He finally had a day off to take a break and had to teach a few juniors about their homework. Sometimes he really considered whether to teach Xie Lin and Wang Jin. He was turned over and became a teacher for his juniors.
At today's court meeting, Xie Xiuwen and Xie Lin had a quarrel, mainly about whether to use force at the border.
Xie Lin objected, mainly because the Turks had strong military force, and they had signed a contract before, so Dazhi could not break the contract first.
Xie Xiuwen felt that we should fight them with real swords and guns to let them know how powerful our Dazhi is!
Of course, all the generals are willing to fight.
But the problem is that most civil servants disagree.
When there is a war, it means turmoil.
Not only the turmoil in the court and the border, but also the turmoil in the hearts of the people.
Xie Lin, as the Minister of Household Affairs, also objected. In his opinion, war is just a waste of money. Their Household Department does not have that much money now.
The two had a heated argument in the court, and in the end there was no conclusion to the matter.
Xie Xiuwen knew that he and Xie Lin did have some differences when it came to border policies.
But this did not affect his appreciation of Schelling.
Xie Xiuwen also knew that wars cost money, but why didn't he stop fighting because he was afraid that the treasury would be emptied?
Doesn’t the majesty of their rule need to be erected?
The most important thing is that Xie Xiuwen can see the holy will, and he clearly wants to use force.
Although the Holy Master is getting older, his ambitions have not diminished, and the Turks have invaded our borders several times. Two people died this time, and three people died last time. This kind of behavior did not make any big noise on his part, but he is really disgusting. people!
Xie Xiuwen was sorting out his opinions in the study. Of course, he was a civil servant and was not proficient in the art of war, so he did not dare to have too many opinions on matters such as selecting generals. However, he had thoroughly analyzed the pros and cons of whether to fight or not to fight, and everything But by holy judgment.
"Master, Mr. Xie is here."
"Oh? Haha, please invite him in quickly."
Xie Lin wandered in, carrying a bottle of wine in his hand.
"Brother Zicheng, would you like to get drunk with your foolish brother?"
Xie Xiuwen's smile became more genuine: "Dou Zi, go prepare some wine and food, and put them in the pavilion in front."
The weather is just right now, neither too cold nor too hot, and it's also breathable.
As soon as the two of them sat down in the pavilion, Wang Jin also came.
Now that everyone was here, Xie Xiuwen originally thought of giving the two of them to his juniors to be their husbands, but who knew that they would take the initiative to send them to his door.
"Is the young master here?"
"Go back to the master, the young master is reading books."
"Call him over and pay respects to the two elders."
"Yes, sir."
When Xie Ronlang heard that two adults, Xie Lin and Wang Jin, were coming, he quickly arranged his clothes and then came over to salute and say hello.
"Hey, I haven't seen him for a few days, how come he's so tall? He's almost as tall as your father."
Xie Ronlang smiled restrainedly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, so uncle can see my changes."
Xie Xiuwen raised his hand: "Go and pour some wine for your uncle and uncle. If you have any questions about your studies in the future, you have to count on them to help you."
Xie Lin felt uncomfortable hearing this: "What do you mean? You want me to work for free?"
