Chapter 10 Lost
"Master, there was news from Yuhang at that time, didn't it say that Miss Lu San admired you very much? But look at me, why doesn't she seem to admire you at all?"

Thirteen followed Xiao Yan to check three shops, and finally couldn't hold back his mouth.

"Could it be that Miss Lu San fell in love with you? In fact, it was you in your imagination. Now I came to Kyoto and met the real person, and suddenly found that the real person is just like that."

Thirteen didn't finish his sentence, when he received Xiao Yan's cold stare, he suddenly stuck his tongue out and paused.

Xiao Yan looked at him coolly, "If you can't speak, you don't have to. No one will treat you as dumb."

Thirteen explained, "What the slave means is that you don't have to guard against Miss Lu in the future. She doesn't seem to have that kind of interest in you. Today, she has a big fight with Madam. Madam wants to use her to target us, so we should It's not that easy, and this Third Miss Lu doesn't look like she has no brains."

Xiao Yan twitched her fingers and said: "It's best if she doesn't have that kind of thought. As for whether she has a brain or not, it has nothing to do with us. After all, she is a member of the Lu family."

Just as he was talking, the minister of punishment stepped forward.

"My lord, I searched all the shops on both sides of this street, but I didn't find the monk in any of them."

At that time, the case of Jingchun Teahouse was classified as an unsolved case, but more than a month after the incident, Xiao Yan accidentally learned that the proprietress of Jingchun Teahouse and her two daughters had been in the A monk was entertained in the tea house, and someone heard that monk said that he would change the life of the tea house owner's daughter, so that she would be rich and powerful from now on.

Xiao Yan got confirmation of this statement from the owner of Jingchunming Tea House, but the boss said that he warned the proprietress and daughters not to be cheated, and also ordered the monk not to come to the tea house again, and the monk never appeared again. .

The Ministry of Criminal Justice later searched the entire capital and found no monk who fit the description.

On the boat that came from Qianzhou today, I obviously received the definite news that the murderous maniac in Qianzhou was clearly on board, but he disappeared with a monk in the end.

As for the monk, he later invited the passengers on the ship to make portraits, and the painted figures and the monk who appeared in Jing Chunming can almost be judged to be the same person.

Just now, a little beggar went to provide clues to get a reward, saying that he saw a great monk on Gulou Street.

Xiao Yan immediately brought people to search, but they couldn't find any trace.

Ministry of Punishment.

Conference hall.

Xiao Yan pasted three portraits of people on the wooden board.

Two women and one man.

He pulled back his chair and sat down casually, raised his hand and clicked on the portrait, "These three, needless to say, are the monks we are looking for.

As for the woman, there are two possibilities. The first one is that these two are the murderous maniac in Qianzhou. Then the two of them and this monk may be accomplices, or they may have met under the influence of others. I don’t know who is Dongfeng Xifeng Can't beat anyone.

Another possibility is that these two are victims who have been killed by the monk, and the Qianzhou murderer mixed with the passengers on the boat, tricked us, and got off the boat.

In either case, there is a big problem with that ship from Qianzhou, Zhao Du. "

Zhao Du, who was named by Xiao Yan, was the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment. He paused while turning the Langhao brush, and looked at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan said: "You take people to search the boat now, even if the boat is dismantled, you have to find me the mezzanine in it, there must be a mezzanine in this boat, otherwise it is impossible for the three living people to disappear just like that."

Zhao Du ordered, and as soon as he lost the Langhao brush in his hand, he got up to execute it.

Xiao Yan continued to speak humanely to the rest: "Continue to post the wanted portraits of monks, and continue to reward those who provide clues."

After talking about the monk, the next thing to talk about is the murderous maniac in Qianzhou.

"The emperor gave us a death order. The perpetrators must be arrested and brought to justice. If the criminals in Qianzhou and the monk are gangsters or are simply gangsters, it will be easy to handle. At least we already have some goals.

The most troublesome thing now is that the criminals are among the passengers, and we have to prevent them from committing crimes in Kyoto.

So we have to work hard for our brothers in the Jingwei camp. All the passengers who got off the boat today must be watched closely. If there is any abnormality, there is no need to report it. "

The Commander-in-Chief of the Jingwei Battalion nodded, "Master Xiao, don't worry, arrangements have been made. The two brothers will keep an eye on a boat passenger for twelve hours a day to ensure that there will be no problems. In addition, the patrols during the day and night have also been strengthened."

Xiao Yan pinched his brows.

Originally thought that as long as the pier was kept airtight and the passengers were strictly interrogated, the murderous maniac would be caught, but who would have thought that something unexpected would happen.

The things that should be said are clearly stated, the things that should be arranged are arranged, the conference hall is empty, and everyone performs their duties.

By the time Xiao Yan returned to Rong'anhou's residence, it was already Haishi.

In the past, when Xiao Yan came back, the mansion would most likely be quiet and quiet, but today, as soon as he entered the door, he felt an atmosphere of tension.

The entire mansion is brightly lit.

"What's the matter?" After getting off the carriage, Xiao Yan asked the boy at the second door.

The young man replied humbly, "There was a thief in the madam's yard, and they said they lost valuables."

The little servant paused, swallowed, looked at Xiao Yan's expression, and said: "Also, Shi Ziye's yard was on fire, but the fire was not big, and it was extinguished quickly."

Thirteen, Xiao Yan's entourage, immediately looked shocked, "Our grandfather's yard is on fire? How could it be on fire?"

How could the servant of the second door know this, he just respectfully smiled.

Thirteen didn't really ask him, and turned to look at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan had no expression on his face, "Go to the inner courtyard to have a look."

He lifted his feet and walked in, and told Shisan, "Go back and have a look, and check to see what's missing."

Shisan took the order to leave, and Xiao Yan went directly to the inner courtyard.

In Madam Rong Anhou's yard, a whole yard of servants stood densely and densely.

Madam Rong Anhou had a sullen face with anger all over her body, "If you don't reveal who stole the things today, everyone will not be able to sleep."

The servants in the courtyard were silent like cicadas, not daring to vent their breath.

Xiao Yan walked over and glanced behind Mrs. Rong Anhou.

Except for the old lady, all the seven or eight masters in the mansion are here, but Lu Jia and her little maid are missing.

Seeing Xiao Yan approaching, Xiao Yi immediately said: "Brother is back. A thief broke into my mother's house and stole a lot of things. Now I can't catch anyone. Brother, give me a trial soon. His Majesty has praised you personally. The youngest and most promising Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, he can't even handle his own family affairs."

Xiao Yan glanced at the servants in the yard, and finally said with a smile to Xiao Yi: "A relative case needs to be avoided. Even if this case is reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it will not fall into my hands. I have to avoid it."

Xiao Yi snorted coldly, "Brother is really not worried about family affairs at all. Even if my mother never gave birth to you, she raised you anyway. Big brother is really cold-hearted."

In front of a whole family of masters and servants, Xiao Yi was not polite.

There was no ups and downs on Xiao Yan's face, "My yard is also on fire, so I won't bother you here."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yan turned and left.

Xiao Yi stepped forward to block Xiao Yan, "Brother is leaving now? Isn't it appropriate? The servants in your yard haven't been interrogated yet. Who knows if they stole my mother's things."
