Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 33 The Disappearing President Wen

"I'm so dizzy..." Xiao Zishan woke up from his dream, feeling extremely groggy and uncomfortable.He has slept very well in the past few days. The air in Guangzhou in the Ming Dynasty is not only fresh, but also there is no sound of roaring cars in the early morning.Sleep is very sound and sweet.

When traveling through the trade earlier, no one dared to spend the night in the Ming Dynasty time and space. They must leave before nightfall, and would rather come back the next day.Now as their business and contacts are getting stronger and stronger, there are more and more things to do in Ming Dynasty time and space.In order to prolong the life of the wormhole, it is commonplace to live for a few days after crossing.What's more, in the past few days, I can still live a decadent life where I can open my mouth and stretch out my clothes, and I feel a little bit reluctant to leave.

Today's head is very heavy, and I barely open my eyes, and the sun is already shining brightly outside the screen window after the rain.It looks like it's almost ten o'clock.He couldn't help but wonder, there is no TV and internet in this time and space, even if everyone discusses and chats together, they all go to bed very early, so they wake up at seven o'clock every morning.Why is it so late today?

Standing up and scanning the room, he was taken aback.The house was in a mess, almost all the chests of drawers were opened, and things were scattered all over the floor.

Got thief!

This idea immediately reflected in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. The money and goods exchanged for this trade are still piled up in the house!If... He couldn't imagine it.Get up quickly and put on your clothes and shoes——suddenly find that my socks and sneakers are gone!What a thief!There are several pairs of straw woven casual shoes in the house, put them on quickly, and come out with clothes on.

As soon as he went out, he saw Bei Wei rushing out of the house. Xiao Zishan noticed that he also had a pair of casual shoes on his feet, and his combat boots were gone!

"Something happened!" Bei Wei's words were concise.

"whats the matter?"

"Boss Wen is gone!"

"What!" Xiao Zishan was so frightened that his hands and feet turned cold.Boss Wen is gone!This is not Guangzhou in the 21st century: Mr. Wen went out to recognize people everywhere, and the police in the safest city in the country—Guangzhou in the 17th century, they didn’t recognize anyone when they went out.I don't even know the way to go.

The two of them rushed all the way to check one by one, Wang Gong was still sound asleep, and when the third entered the servant's room in the courtyard, Gao Qing's family and Sun Chang were also in deep sleep.I quickly called everyone up, but they were still dizzy and nauseous.Gao Lujie and Gao Di couldn't even wake up from screaming, and they were at a loss. Sun Chang suggested to wash their faces with cold water.

"Master Xiao, things are not good." Sun Chang watched Gao Qing's family frantically fetching water for everyone.Each of them felt a little more sober.

"what?!"

"It's obvious that you've been fascinated by it."

"Mixiang?" For some reason, the first word that came to Xiao Zishan's mind was Sun Erniang.

"It's Mixiang." Sun Chang escaped from his hometown and went begging all the way to Guangzhou. He has seen a lot of things in the rivers and lakes, "Master, is there anything missing?"

These words reminded them, and the two ran wildly to the west wing of the middle courtyard.Because this house is used as an important warehouse and crossing point, the Executive Committee has made some non-local modifications here, using bricks to remove windows and redundant doors, and using steel fences wrapped with barbed wire inside. A small room fortified on all sides is made separately with the anti-theft door.Seeing that the padlock on the wooden door outside had disappeared, Xiao Zishan knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly opened the door and went in. The iron bars and anti-theft doors were all safe, and a cart full of goods was well piled up.Only then was he relieved.

It seems that the thieves failed.This 21st century anti-theft measure is still effective.The problem is that they lost President Wen!This thing is more terrible than losing goods and gold and silver.Money can always be earned back. It would be hard to say that such a big living person was lost in the Ming Dynasty.

"Who took President Wen away?" Xiao Zishan's mind was running like a windmill. Is this an accident or a premeditated event?Hard to say.Said it was a premeditated plan, only the members of the Gao family knew they were here, other than that they had no other contact with the entire city of Guangzhou, what was the point of the Gao family kidnapping Mr. Wen?If it was an accident, could it be that some thieves broke into the house to make money and simply tied President Wen's ticket?This is also possible.

The three of them walked around Mr. Wen's room for a long time, but they didn't see anything. Mr. Wen's clothes, shoes and hats were all gone, not even the anti-stab vest, anti-wolf spray, and electric shock device that he must bring every time he crosses. And fly.

After watching for a long time, Xiao Zishan couldn't help saying:

"Old Bei, do you see what's coming? Aren't you a scout?"

Bei Wei spread his hands: "I'm a scout, not a scout. This needs to be seen by criminal investigators."

"Let's find a criminal investigator. Ran Yao used to be a policeman." Xiao Zishan remembered.

"Then look for him quickly, and bring some more reasoning madmen who like to hang out in the reasoning area." Wang Gong saw that Gao Xian was about to come in to clean up the house, and immediately shouted: "Don't move, protect the scene!" Gao Xian was so scared that he ran away quickly.

After discussing, Wang Gong would go back with the goods and money first, report the matter to the executive committee, and then call several professionals to come over to check the traces, while Xiao Zishan and Bei Wei continued to stay here to investigate.

Xiao Zishan called Gao Qing's family and Zhao Chang over, and questioned whether any special things had happened these days, including Gao Zhai's.After asking for a long time, I only know from Zhao Chang's mouth: Recently, a "little father-in-law Yang" in Beijing is coming to visit Mr. Gao, and Mr. Gao seems to have something on his mind.

When Gao Qing found out about this, she became even more frowning, and hid in the front yard by herself to sweep the floor.It was Sun Chang who was much calmer, and came up to report: "There is no need to worry about this matter for a while. The thief bound Master Wen, and he will naturally send someone to send a letter. At that time, he may report to the official or redeem him, and the master can do it again." care about."

"Report to the officials?" Xiao Zishan smiled wryly. They are all "illegal immigrants", how could they provoke the Ming government, not to mention that he knows the ancient way of thinking about public security management. Care about.Unless a lot of money is used—then it would be better to redeem people.

"Yes," Zhao Chang said in a low voice, "It's inconvenient for the masters to come forward because they are not Ming people, but you can ask Master Gao to come forward and let the government send someone to deal with it privately." He glanced at Xiao Zishan, "Master Gao is speaking in one prefecture and two counties. You can turn around."

"En." Xiao Zishan was noncommittal, but doubts arose in his heart. Everything was normal when Zhao Chang didn't come, but Wen Zong disappeared after a few days...

While pondering, Bei Wei walked in.Zhao Chang quickly backed out.

"I found traces!"

"Oh? Where." Xiao Zishan lifted his spirits.

"The group of people climbed over the wall from the small road behind the third entrance yard. Many tiles were pulled off the eaves of the wall and fell all over the floor. There are still traces of friction on the wall."

"Going out too?"

"Yes, I returned the same way. I checked other places, and there is no trace of climbing over the wall."

"I remember Master Gao said that there are wooden gates at all intersections on the small road behind here, and ordinary people cannot enter."

"I don't think they came in from there," Bei Wei said. "There are roads in and out in front, which are too conspicuous. If I had, I would have come from the city wall."

"City Wall?"

"Yes. The backyards of the houses here are all next to the city wall." Bei Wei nodded, "Although there is no ramp up and down, there are almost no people walking on the city wall. As long as you can go up, it is like a highway around the whole city. "

"Yes, this is very possible!"

"The day before yesterday, someone wanted to sneak in and eavesdrop. I threw a stone and got out. That person also fled towards the city wall. I think it's probably the same group."

"It seems premeditated, but who would do that?"

"I don't know about that. All in all, we have to get President Wen back first. We'll make a decision after a professional has seen it."

"Okay, we also have to inform Xia Gaoju to help him find someone. He is a local snake after all, and he is familiar with everyone."

"Will it have something to do with exaltation?"

"It's unlikely. What good will it do him to kidnap Mr. Wen?"

"I have to be careful. I'll look around again, but it's a pity that I lost my dagger!" Bei Wei was annoyed. This dagger was bought at a high price from Swords Online - now it doesn't match his 3515 combat boots from 02. Wing and fly.

Xiao Zishan repeatedly speculated about the cause and effect in the study.No matter how you think about it, Mr. Gao is the most suspicious, after all, only Mr. Gao knows that they live here.But what is the motive?Xiao Zishan firmly believes that everything in this world has a motive.What does he want to achieve by doing so?If he is extorting money, he has already made a lot of money in the current trading activities.Obviously it doesn't make sense, or he wants to use Mr. Wen as a hostage to guarantee the exclusive monopoly of all Australian goods in the future, which is possible.But there is no need to spend so much time and effort, jumping over the wall and using incense.

Jump over the wall, Mixiang...

After all, this is still the reason of the people in the world!

Xiao Zishan seemed to understand a little bit.He called Zhao Chang in.

"Are you familiar with the city fox and mouse in Guangzhou?"

"I'm not familiar with you," Zhao Chang reported, "the younger one is not a local, nor is he from Cantonese, and besides, the younger one has been working in the Gao residence. will not be accepted.”

Xiao Zishan nodded, and this self-confession largely dispelled his suspicions.Zhao Chang hesitated for a while, and seemed to have something to say.Xiao Zishan said: "If you have anything to say, just say it. I don't need to be suspicious here, and I don't need to be suspicious."

"Yes!" Encouraged by Zhao Chang, he said, "The little one has an idea."

"Go ahead."

"In Nanhai County, there is a Qiwei Escort Bureau." Zhao Chang said, "It's a small Escort Bureau, not an Escort factory, but they have a specialty, which is to sit in the shop."

"Sit in the shop?"

"Yes, the master probably doesn't know about it. Whenever the merchants who open the shop are harassed and blackmailed by street gangsters, they invite escorts to suppress them."

"Is it the security guard?" Xiao Zishan understood.

Zhao Chang didn't know what a security guard was, so he said "yes" and continued:

"The bodyguards sitting in the shop are very familiar with the situation of the city's thugs. If you ask them for help, you will be able to find out the news. If it's just an ordinary city fox and social mouse, you can ask them to save people."

Note: The Escort business of sitting in the shop was only available in Beijing in the Qing Dynasty.Haven't heard of it elsewhere.Moreover, the Escort industry generally only appeared during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.I thought it was impossible to have no similar industries or organizations in the commodity economy of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, but I couldn't find the data for a while, so I used the data from the Qing Dynasty.
