Chapter 104 Touched (yoyohly7109)
Liu Zhubo's smile paused for a moment, and he told them to go home as if nothing had happened. "If the government office has any results, I will have someone notify you."
Those who need to be reminded have been reminded, and they have done all that they can. Su Ruojin thought to herself, Madam Kong, you can only wish her good luck!
On the way home, Carpenter Zhang asked, "Mrs. Su Er, you just said that someone gathered the carpenters together to do something bad? What kind of bad thing?"
"How would I know? I just made it sound serious so that the people in the government would take it seriously."
"Oh oh..." Carpenter Zhang obviously didn't believe it.
Su Ruojin smiled, "Uncle Zhang, don't disbelieve me, I really don't know."
"But what you said seems to make sense."
Su Ruojin: ...What's reasonable? In later generations, the media is well developed, and there are a lot of stories about conspiracies and intrigues. People can come up with N of them at will. They have nothing to do with reason.
That being said, if the craftsmen were captured by the same organization, what kind of organization would want both carpenters and weavers? Carpenters are related to defense work, shipbuilding, and housebuilding, but what about weavers? Making clothes for these people?
You can't buy clothes anywhere, so you have to trick the weaver girl to get there? Thinking all the way home, Su Ruojin couldn't figure out anything. It seemed that stories in later generations weren't that magical.
When he got home, Su Yanli was already there. Cheng Yingzhen said that his daughter had been out for a long time and he almost went to the government office to report the case.
"Child, if you were a little later, your father would have gone to the government office to report the case."
Shutong glanced at the young master with an expression that said, "I'll tell you what I want to say." He was a young man, but he was meddling in other people's business.
Su Ruojin quickly explained the whole story to her parents, "Carpenter Zhang ran around sweating in the middle of winter for a random person, and he even came to me to ask for help, so how could I refuse?"
"Why can't you refuse? You are just a seven-year-old girl. What can you do to help him? It's really..." Su Yanli wanted to beat his troublesome daughter.
Seeing that her father was angry, Su Ruojin hurried over and acted cute, begging for forgiveness.
What could he do since he was the one giving birth to her? Su Yanli had no choice but to be gentle with his naughty daughter.
"Don't do this again in the future. You can't interfere in such trivial matters."
"Yes, I will listen to you, Dad."
Su Yanli was so angry with his daughter that he lost all his temper.
It was a dark and windy night. The courtyard stood silently in the cold wind. Suddenly, a dark shadow climbed over the wall. After a faint cat cry, the door of the courtyard study moved. Hua Ping opened the door and said, "Liu Mu, why are you here?"
Liu Zhubo squeezed into the study from the side of Hua Ping. The coldness on his body was washed away by the charcoal fire, and he felt much warmer instantly.
"Today, Su Erniang brought a carpenter to the government office to report a case, saying that a weaver might have been cheated away by someone."
"Another craftsman is missing?"
Liu Mu nodded, "Counting this, nearly a thousand craftsmen have disappeared in various places in our Great Yin in the past few years." Suddenly seeing the young master there, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "I greet the young prince."
Zhao Lan raised his hand to signal him to do as he pleased.
"Thank you, young prince."
It was rare to see the young master interested in the job, so Mr. Shen quickly signaled Liu Mu to tell him in detail about the disappearance of the craftsman.
On the one hand, the young master is young, and on the other hand, he really doesn't seem to be interested in the investigation. If it weren't for Mr. Shen's support, the entire investigation office would be paralyzed. Liu Mu also discovered that the young master seemed to be interested in the disappearance of the craftsmen.
Only Hua Ping understood that the young master was not interested in the craftsman, but in the second wife of the Su family. He must have been wondering how a little daughter of a doctor could be involved in the craftsman's case?
As expected, Liu Mu talked about a lot of cases of missing craftsmen, but Zhao Lan was not interested. Hua Ping interrupted him and said directly, "First, tell us about what Su Erniang reported today."
Liu Mu, who was speaking excitedly: ...Well, he was indeed here for today's case of the Weaver Girl. So he associated Carpenter Zhang with the disappearance of Carpenter Li three years ago and thought that Madam Kong might have been cheated. He wanted to follow Madam Kong to see where she would be taken, but he lost her in the blink of an eye.
"He has no special training, so how can he catch up with those skilled scammers?"
Liu Mu nodded: "So when Carpenter Zhang was panicking, he met Su Erniang who was buying a clay pot. With her help, he found the place where Madam Kong rented, but she didn't go back at all."
It seems that I was cheated.
Hua Ping asked, "Did Carpenter Zhang say what those two people looked like?"
"He has a burly figure and a carefully trimmed beard, but unlike the beards of men from the Central Plains, he has obvious nomadic features."
Mr. Shen concluded: "It seems that they are undoubtedly spies from the Liaoxia Kingdom."
"The Liaoxia Kingdom keeps arresting our craftsmen. Do they really not want to be our vassal anymore?"
As the Liaoxia Kingdom continued to annex the nomadic tribes in the north, it gradually developed from a small tribe into a small country. Now it keeps capturing craftsmen over. Ordinary people may not understand, but as court officials, the Liaoxia people's intentions are very clear. The nomadic tribes are good at raising horses and hunting, but not so good at other aspects, such as ironmaking, building houses, etc. If the Liaoxia Kingdom really has ambitions, it will inevitably capture craftsmen to develop agriculture, industry, commerce and all other materials necessary for national development.
"Any news from Jiang San Inn?"
The scout who had been hiding in the corner shook his head and said, "There is basically no news from anywhere."
Without pressure from above, there will be no motivation from below. This truth will never change.
Mr. Shen looked at Zhao Lan who had been silent the whole time and sighed secretly. Could it be that the Great Yin Dynasty only had flowers and brocade, but no vigilance against the raging fire and cooking oil? How long could the Great Yin Dynasty prosper?
Suddenly, Zhao Lan looked up and asked, "Was it two people or one person who reported the case?"
"Carpenter Zhang reported the case." The young master's sudden question almost confused Liu Mu. After reacting, he suddenly seemed to have grasped something and suddenly sighed, "Madam Su Er said that we should not underestimate the disappearance of a craftsman. The scammer behind it may do something bad."
Mr. Shen took over the conversation sternly: "It's not just a bad thing, it's going to ruin our Great Yin Dynasty."
Suddenly, there was a light tapping sound on the table.
Everyone was stunned and looked towards the source of the sound.
Prince Pingyang Zhao Lan was tapping the table rhythmically with his fingertips.
Mr. Shen looked at him with wide eyes.
Everyone in the room stared at Zhao Lan in shock.
The little master is... finally touched?
Amid everyone's anticipation, he finally spoke, "What do you need me to do?"
Mr. Shen jumped up from his chair excitedly and knelt directly in front of him, "Little Prince——" He was choked with excitement.
The next day was a day off. Zhao Lan and Fan Yanjia arrived at Dr. Su's house around ten o'clock. The servants following them were carrying gifts, which attracted the attention of the people in the alley. After the gate of the Su family was closed, they couldn't help but mutter, "The Su family has really climbed into a wealthy family."
Xue Wulang and Su Dalang had already been tested by Su Yanli long ago, so when Zhao Lan and Fan Yanjia arrived, he took the books home.
When he got home, Master Xue frowned and asked, "Didn't I tell you to stay at Su's house today? Why are you back again?"
