Chapter 111 Reporting to the Official
Shao Si looked at Gong Xu, then at Wen Mingqian, and begged: "I know that I have done something wrong. If I cooperate with your family honestly, can I "What a wishful thinking!" Gong Xu was even more angry, "How dare you bargain with us at this time?"
Shao Si heard this. He shrank his neck in fear.
"Sir, please calm down, retrieving Chang'an is the right thing to do." Wen Mingqian dissuaded Gong Xu, "There is no need to be as knowledgeable as these reckless men."
Gong Xu was now focused on trying to save Wen Mingqian. When he saw her softly trying to persuade him, his anger dissipated a lot and his tone became less harsh: "What Madam said is reasonable. I'm just too worried about Chang'an."
Wen Mingqian said to Shao Si: "If you can really make it through, we will naturally not deliberately embarrass you. You have to think about it yourself, after all, you are the one who is really desperate now."
< br>"I understand, I understand." Shao Si said, "Ma Daguang is a very scheming person. He sent his child away before taking action, and it is probably difficult to find him now. He has repeatedly done this before. He told me to hide it, doesn’t he know how to hide it himself?
But the villain knows that he also has a house outside and has a beautiful young lady who is less than twenty years old and comes from Wuzhou? The singer has given birth to a son who is less than one year old.
His wife has only given birth to three daughters, so he loves this son very much. >
Because few people knew that he had a foreign residence, and there was no suitable place to send them off at the moment, the two of them were still in the capital.
If the mother and son could be detained, Ma Daguang would definitely be afraid. "
"So you know where Ma Daguang's foreign residence is? Ma Ping'an asked, "Don't play any tricks." "
"How dare I? Shao Si sighed, "I just hope that big things can be reduced to trivial matters, so thank God." ”
It was only then that he really felt scared. Before, he didn’t want to think deeply about it and had luck.
After all, money attracts people's hearts. For a gambler like him who is short of money, the temptation of one thousand taels of silver is too great.
It is shameful for him to behave like this, but in the final analysis, it is considered human nature. Among those who commit crimes and commit crimes, which one does not know that the law is strict? But he still has to take risks every time. It's just because of the same idea as him.
"Tell me where they live?" Gong Xu asked.
“It’s in Dongcheng, Gumei Alley, Shunyi Street, the ninth house from the west, the one with the glazed tiles on the door. I also moved here after having a baby, and I don’t usually interact with my neighbors. Therefore, the neighbors don’t know the details of his family.”
“In this case, we can’t delay any longer to avoid long nights and many dreams.”
"But there is another thing to say." Wen Mingqian was not in a hurry to find Ma Daguang's foreign residence. "This is not the same as arresting Shao Si. We are not from the government. Going to someone else's house at night is considered trespassing. If there is a disturbance, If you can't take a break for a while, it will inevitably delay things."
"What does Madam mean..." Gong Xu also hesitated.
"Master, let's report to the official!" Wen Mingqian felt that it was reasonable and appropriate to report to the official at this time.
Before I caught Shao Si, I didn’t report it to the officials because I was afraid of alerting the enemy. Now that Shao Si has been caught and the location of Ma Daguang’s foreign residence has been revealed, the government should come forward to avoid being caught. .
After all, she was not sure whether the people behind Ma Daguang would cause trouble for the Gong family here.
Of course Ma Daguang is not the culprit, so those who use him cannot possibly not know him.
In this case, we should be cautious until Ma Daguang is arrested.
"Okay, I'll go to Bodu Yamen in person." Gong Xu said. Shao Si immediately grimaced: "Madam, can I survive as a reporter?"
"Shut up! Whether you can survive depends on your luck!" Ma Ping'an kicked him and pulled him up again, "Our family will be completely benevolent and righteous if we don't add insult to injury to you. When the time comes, what crime should you receive? The master in the yamen will make his own decision. Can you tell our wife?" ! ”
Shao Si looked sad and said nothing more. He knew that when he got to the government, he would have to speak even if he didn't speak. Otherwise, even if you go down with a stick of water and fire and make your feces and urine fly everywhere, you still won't be able to stand it.
Besides, he has already confessed what he knows, and there is nothing left to interrogate.
Then a group of people walked out in a huff, leaving only a few people waiting under Wen Mingqian.
"Why haven't Zhang Ma and the others come back yet?" Sang Er asked worriedly, "I wonder if they can find any clues there?"
"It's almost here, Madam, take a sip of tea. "Okay." Yunying brought a bowl of tea, "You don't want to eat it raw for dinner. Do you want to put it on the table?"
"No need, I ate at the old lady's end." Wen Mingqian said, "In order not to let the old lady see it, I deliberately acted as usual, so I don't have to worry about being hungry."
Wen Mingqian finished his drink After a bowl of tea, the little girl Mei'er ran in: "Mother Zhang is back with someone."
Before she could finish her words, Mother Zhang strode in.
She had only been out for most of the day, and she seemed to have aged ten years.
Wen Mingqian stood up and took her hand, feeling that her hands were as cold as ice.
"Mama Zhang, are you tired? Sit down first."
"No," Ma Zhang shook her head, "I have nothing to do, girl, don't worry."
"Mama Zhang, you Have a sip of tea." Yunying had already poured a bowl of tea and handed it to Zhang's mother.
Zhang Ma took it and drank it in one gulp, raised her hand and wiped her mouth with her sleeve: "We searched all the way, starting from the place where the carriage met Miss Cui Er. Heading southwest again After walking for four or five miles, the road forked into three places.
We looked for it one by one. There was a suspicious place on each road.
One is the Xuanmiao Temple, the other is the Jingxu Temple, and the other is the villa of the thousand-year-old King Yong, which has long since been abandoned.
I guessed that only these three places could hide people, so I took them to the abandoned property first. After all, there was no one guarding that place, so it was easy to find them.
After searching for several hours, I found no trace, so it was obvious that it was not there.
The other two places were crowded with people and they rushed in to look for them, fearing that they would not work. In addition, it was getting late and the city gate had to be closed, so I came back first. "
"What about Miss Cui Er? "Wen Mingqian asked.
"Miss Cui Er really did her best this time. She went to Jingxu Temple by herself. He said that there was a sister-in-law there who often visited her home, so she pretended to stay there. She could take the opportunity to leave the room at night. Let's ask around, maybe we'll get something.
She only brought one maid, so I left her with a few of our people, saying they were all from their house, which can be considered as a few helpers. ." Zhang Ma said and drank another bowl of tea.
Updates will resume today, but due to limited energy, we can only update one chapter per day for the time being. Thank you all for your support and I'm sorry. I hope I can gain some momentum myself and update it soon.
