1369 Missing, dig deep to find the person
The news of Feng Qingchen's disappearance could be concealed from others, but not from Wang Jinling. That night, Wang Jinling got the news and immediately ignored everything and rushed to Feng Mansion with his men.
Feng Qingchen was kidnapped, and the Feng Mansion had no one in charge, so everything was in chaos. It wasn't until Wang Jinling showed up that the people in the Feng Mansion calmed down.
The servants of Feng Mansion were capable, but they didn't know what to do when faced with such a big event. At this time, they needed someone to stand up and show them the way, give them confidence, and make them believe that Feng Qingchen would be fine.
"Young Master."
"Young Master."
When the servants of Feng Mansion saw Wang Jinling appear, they surrounded him as if they had seen a savior, waiting for Wang Jinling to arrange for them to rescue Feng Qingchen.
Wang Jinling did not say much to these people. After simply calming them down, he asked, "Where are the people who secretly protect Qingchen? If I remember correctly, Marshal Si and Marshal Shao are also in the mansion? Where are they now?"
Even with such heavy protection, he was still able to kidnap Feng Qingchen, which shows that the other party is extremely powerful.
"To reply to the eldest young master, the person who was secretly protecting the girl is nowhere to be found. Young Marshal Si received news from his subordinates at the last minute and left the Feng Mansion before the incident, taking away a large number of guards." The butler stepped forward and answered.
It seems that the other party came prepared, and took into account all the reactions of the Feng Mansion, even the unexpected event of Si Cheng.
Knowing Feng Mansion so well, it seemed that the other party had not only been planning for a long time, but also knew Feng Qingchen very well.
Wang Jinling took a deep breath and asked, "How long has it been since the incident?"
"One hour." The security guard stepped forward and said, but he didn't dare to look at Wang Jinling while speaking, and his head was buried in his chest.
"One hour?" Wang Jinling took a breath, his face calm, and said, "Briefly repeat the situation at that time."
The guards had no idea what happened in Feng Qingchen's house. They could only talk about it from the moment Feng Qingchen walked out, but these stories had no practical value at all.
"Master, there is a sword in the girl's room." Tong Yao held the sword in both hands and walked in front of Wang Jinling.
Wang Jinling picked up the sword and examined it carefully, then put it aside: "A sword that can be bought for two taels of silver on the street is definitely not a sword for someone to fight."
The other party must have an extremely strong background to be able to transfer the secret guards, Zuo An and Si Cheng away. This sword is not a weapon that the opponent often uses, otherwise it would not have fallen into the Feng Mansion.
"What should we do now?" Tong Jue, Chun Hui and others looked at Wang Jinling, hoping that Wang Jinling could come up with a feasible plan.
"Send someone to the city to check if anyone has been acting suspiciously in recent days, and if there are any restless families. Also, find the general guarding the city and ask whose carriage left last night." Wang Jinling made arrangements in an orderly manner.
"Check all the suspicious people in the city, and visit all the manors outside the city. If someone is difficult to stop, say they are from the Wang family. If they try to stop us, search them by force. Even if we have to dig deep into the ground, we will find them. I, Wang Jinling, will bear all the consequences."
"Yes." With Wang Jinling's escort, the guards were full of confidence and shouted.
Wang Jinling nodded with satisfaction and added a few more words. He even mentioned the hills outside the city where people could be hidden.
The eldest son's erudition and knowledgeability was not just a reputation. Everyone in the Feng Mansion was willing to accept Wang Jinling's orders and got busy with their orders.
Soon, the hall was empty, with only the butler and the maids there. The hall was quiet. The butler became restless and asked, "Master, what should we do now?" He would rather get busy than sit here and wait foolishly.
"All we can do now is wait, wait for the people who are secretly protecting Feng Qingchen to show up, and wait for the people who went to investigate the news to come back." Wang Jinling secretly rubbed his aching temple, his deep eyes staring outside the house.
tonight
There is not even a trace of starlight. This weather is probably...
What you fear will come true. Wang Jinling was worried that the rain would wash away the traces, but then the weather turned out to be very unkind and it started to rain heavily. Now...
The heavy rain soaked the ground in an instant. When Feng Qingchen took advantage of the rain to escape, everyone in the Feng Mansion was in despair: "If we can't find it tonight, it will be difficult for us to find it."
Even people who don't understand investigation know how difficult it is to find someone by following the traces on a rainy day, and how far can the other person run in one night?
"Wait for the news from the secret guards." Wang Jinling was also worried, but he was not panicked yet.
He knew very well that since the other party had taken the trouble to kidnap Feng Qingchen, Feng Qingchen's life would not be in danger in the short term. As for suffering? This was better than losing her life.
Not long after, the secret guards who were protecting Feng Qingchen appeared. They walked in, supporting each other. Their black clothes were stained with blood. After coming in, they only said one sentence: "Miss Feng is in danger," and then fainted.
"It's the same as saying nothing." Xia Wan was quite bold and made a rude remark, but no one responded to her. Wang Jinling asked Tong Jue and Tong Yao to settle the people.
After all, these people were injured while trying to protect Feng Qingchen. Although they failed to protect her, it was not entirely their fault.
"Let us do it." Chun Hui and Qiu Hua took the lead and asked Tong Jue and Tong Yao to wait here.
Although they are all Feng Qingchen's people, they came from the Ninth Prince's Mansion after all. Since Feng Qingchen's accident, no one from the Ninth Prince's Mansion has come. Instead, the eldest master rushed to the Feng Mansion overnight to take charge. This made them feel embarrassed, so they simply avoided it.
Of course Wang Jinling understood what these maids were thinking. He wanted them to leave, so of course he would not object. Only Wang Jinling, Tong Jue, Tong Yao and the housekeeper were left in the hall.
Time passed quietly, and the people who went out to check the news from Feng Mansion had not returned yet, but the spies from Wang Family came to report first.
The ones that have made more noise in the past two days include the Cui family, the Blood-Clothed Guards, the Luo Prince's Mansion, the Zhou Prince's Mansion, the Xie family, and the families of several concubines. These people are not very well-behaved and have been making frequent moves, especially the Xie family.
"Now that the emperor has fallen, people's hearts are really unsettled. Even the most calm people can't help it at this time." Wang Jinling closed his eyes and sighed softly.
There are many people who are capable of doing it, and everyone has a motive. Wang Jinling cannot determine who did it based on this information. He can only order the spies to keep a secret eye on these families and tell him any clues.
The Wang family's spies left, Tong Yao stepped forward to pour a cup for Wang Jinling, and stood silently in the corner. As the sky gradually brightened, the smile on Wang Jinling's face was replaced by deep worry.
"Who kidnapped Feng Qingchen? Why didn't they reveal any information? If they wanted to threaten us with Feng Qingchen, they should have told us the news by now so that we wouldn't dare to act rashly."
The more Wang Jinling thought about it, the more worried he became. He could no longer sit still and simply stood up. At this time, the person who went outside the city to check the news ran in with a happy face: "Master, good news."
Wang Jinling's face lit up with joy. He was able to remain calm, but Tong Jue and Tong Yao were not. They jumped out from the corner and asked anxiously, "Did you find the lady?"
"No, no." The spy was covered in water, and as he shook his head, water droplets spilled all over the ground.
The sound of the water drops breaking was like everyone’s thoughts: “Not finding the young lady is not good news.”
Tong Jue and Tong Yao looked disappointed, and Wang Jinling could not hide his disappointment either.
"Yes, yes..." The spy became anxious and began to stutter.
