Member Lei listened attentively. He only thought their conversation was very interesting and aroused his curiosity“ You said, "what did Lord long come here to check?" The way of the man in gray and blue.
"Ha ha." The man in blue smiled and suddenly lowered his voice, "maybe... It's about the West Hou of chazhen."
"Zhenxi Hou? Why him? " The man in grey and blue said.
"You don't know that? You were also in Beijing! " The man in Tsing Yi opened his eyes.
The man in grey and blue felt his head: "I really don't know. There was something wrong with the goods at home at that time. We were busy all day. How could we have time to care about the right and wrong outside. What the hell is going on? "
The man in blue said, "the Duke of Zhenxi is our Qi hero. Those bandits are hateful. They even framed him. What's more, the bandit leader pretended to be the grandfather of the Duke of Zhenxi and said that the Duke's aunt was his daughter! Bah, I've never seen such shameless. At that time, there was a storm all over the city, and many people who were hostile to the Marquis kept spreading rumors. It's said that in order to block the rumors, the emperor sent jinpingwei out of Beijing to track down the life experience of Hou ye and aunt. Finally, the bandit's lie was pierced, but the golden scale guards were sent to Beijing, and we'll find out by the way! "
"Hey, is the Dragon we just saw in the city hall coming..." said the man in gray and blue clothes.
"Yes, yes! It must be. " The man in Tsing Yi said, "I found it here. That means that the grandfather's family of Zhenxi Hou is from Dingzhou! Alas, if you really think about it, you feel proud! The grandfather of Zhenxi Hou is from Dingzhou! "
The man in grey and blue smiled and poured a glass of wine for the man in green.
The man in green continued: "when Zhenxi Hou just got rich last year, everyone was talking about him. I often went to Dingguo Bo's house to deliver wine, so I chatted with the young man there. The young man said that Zhenxi Hou's aunt seemed to be born in the land of fireworks... I heard that she was abducted. Fortunately, I met uncle Chu at that time. Tut tut! But... Alas, you say that in this world, why are there so many traffickers? "
"Ah!" Gray and blue clothes suddenly surprised and slapped the table, "I remember, didn't many girls in Dingzhou go missing twenty years ago? It is said that it is a very large gang of human traffickers! Tut Tut, if Lord long finds out here, it may be the missing girls. "
The man in green smiled, "don't pull it! Twenty years ago, you were a little broken child. How do you know so much? "
"When I was a child, my mother said I was as beautiful as a girl. She didn't let me go out every day. She said she was careful and was sold, ha ha ha! I remember clearly! " Gray and blue clothes laughed happily.
"Just you, you still look like a girl? I bah! " The man in Tsing Yi spat at him.
At this time, the waiter came over and carried the tray: "my guest, the dishes are ready! Hey, hey, what are you talking about? What are you talking about? "
"Yes -" the man in gray and blue wanted to say.
The man in green pulled him and smiled, "it's just boring."
The waiter just said casually, smiled and turned away.
The man in Tsing Yi said, "it's official business. People are handling cases. Let's not break our mouths. Come on, I haven't drunk the wine of my hometown for a long time. Have a drink. "
Then they talked a lot of gossip. After dinner, they left.
Lei Yuanwai, who was sitting in the corner, was stunned. His daughter also disappeared in the trafficker case 20 years ago!
At that time, their Lei family was still a famous rich businessman in Dingzhou. Their daughter was missing and did not dare to report to the government. They only asked the servants to look for her. The government is also investigating the case. Later, I heard that the case was solved and several girls were saved, but his daughter was not among them.
They looked for it for another half a year, but they gave up when they found it.
A daughter has been wandering away for half a year, and she is innocent?
When she didn't get it, she was found to have entered a dirty place, or unfortunately fell into the hands of some poor men and became the daughter-in-law of some disgraceful people. If a lot of trouble comes back at that time, they will lose their face.
So in the end, they stopped looking and lied about their daughter's death.
Because of this, his wife died.
After twenty years, he forgot that he had a kidnapped daughter. Now I suddenly heard someone mention it again, and... Among the abducted girls, some were sold to the capital, and finally became the aunt of my uncle's house and gave birth to a child. This child is promising and has become the famous Zhenxi Hou of Qi!
Thinking of the ups and downs of Lei's chest, he was envious and looked forward to it.
In those years, his daughter was among them!
The most important thing is that his daughter is also beautiful. It's reasonable to sell her beauty to powerful people as a concubine.
But in the end, she didn't write to her family after giving birth... By the way, the child died not long after he was born!
The reason why their Lei family fell down in the end is that they are eager to be inferior to the magistrates!
And Zhenxi hou... That's a powerful minister! Even in the remote Dingzhou, the name of Zhenxi Hou is as shocking as thunder.
Member Lei's chest was hot and he couldn't help thinking.
But when a glass of cold wine was poured down, he mixed it again.
There is no such good thing. After all, all good things belong to others.
Although I convinced myself in this way, I couldn't control it with a bit of expectation and hope.
At this time, a pudgy boy came in: "old man, the new goods arrived ahead of time. Please go home and check the goods!"
But Mr. Lei was still immersed in the abducted daughter. He was in a trance. Where was he in the mood to inspect the goods.
Member Lei waved his hand: "Laifu, you can let the master do it."
"Ah?" Laifu was surprised, "Sir, you didn't say last time that you were just because the master was not cautious and always made mistakes. And the goods in front of you are very important. Do you want to check them yourself? "
Lei Yuanwai used to worry about these goods, but these things are nothing in such a big event as the grandfather of the marquis in the west of the town!
But I don't know whether the matter of pianzhen xihou is true or false. Can it fall on my own head.
Lei Yuanwai was very upset and drank coldly: "let him go. Don't waste your breath."
"Yes." Laifu hung down timidly, "then... The old man won't go home?" At this time in the past, Mr. Lei looked after business because of his family.
Lei Yuanwai's heart was floating outside, "don't go back, I have something to do later!" Thinking about it, I looked forward to it more and more. Looking at him, I said, "go home and tell the master about the inspection. Come back and drive a carriage. Let's go to the city hall and do some important things. "
"Yes." Laifu nodded, then turned and left.
Lei Yuanwai looked at his back and spit out a hard breath.
Member Lei called the waiter again, ordered a pot of wine and two or three dishes, and drank the wine slowly to suppress his excitement.
But no amount of wine can calm your eagerness.
Finally, after a quarter of an hour or so, he finally saw Laifu coming back: "old master, the carriage is waiting outside."
Commissioner Lei quickly threw down a piece of silver and went out with Laifu.
Not far away, under a big sign, there were two men standing, none other than the two who had just said that xinlinwei was looking for someone in the restaurant.
"Let's go!" They turned and left. After a while, they went into a shabby inn.
They went up to the second floor and walked into a guest room. They saw Liang Wang and Mr. Zhou sitting at the table.
"It's done?" Liang Wang said faintly.
"Yes." Yandong and Yanxi erase the black on their faces. Yan Dong said, "look at the greedy appearance of member Lei, I will do it."
Liang Wang snorted coldly.
After finding out Yunxia's experience that year, King Liang wanted to raze the whole Hongjiao building to the ground, and even more wanted to break the human trafficker Huang Sigou into pieces.
But at that time, Mr. Zhou stopped him, saying that Chu yunpan's face would one day attract other people's attention. If the dog emperor found out one day, if there was no trace and origin, he would only be more suspicious of the dog emperor's character and think that someone deliberately erased her origin.
At that time, we'd rather kill by mistake than let go.
Therefore, Liang Wang only took revenge and tortured the widower who bought her and the butcher who sold her into the green banana building, leaving Huang Sigou dead.
The Lei family was carefully selected from so many missing girls. It is the place that hides her origin most. Although the Lei family is rich and a big family, master Lei doesn't have any brothers and sisters. Although master Lei has several sons in the next life, they were young 20 years ago. Who can remember the appearance of their missing sister.
……
Lei brought Fu to take a carriage, and soon came to the city hall.
I just heard from the two people that they saw the dragon of the golden scale guard in the city government yamen, and they want to check the missing girls that year, so they have to find the files of that year in the Yamen.
As a businessman, he naturally has to deal with the government. Even if the government doesn't recognize him, he also has to give gifts to the government.
Fortunately, he has some friendship with the magistrate's master.
When he came to the city hall, member Lei asked Laifu to come to the master Gao's house, asked him out for a drink and said he needed to ask him for business.
If someone gives money to himself, he shouldn't.
Lei Yuanwai invited Mr. Gao to the best wine in the city and ordered the best wine and dishes. He casually asked Mr. Gao for some unimportant things and gave him a thick gift.
Mr. Gao looked at such a generous gift, and it was too simple for Mr. Lei to ask himself, so they drank and talked happily there.
When Mr. Gao was dizzy, Mr. Lei said, "I went to the city early this morning, but I saw some people coming and going in your Yamen. You must be busy, so I didn't dare to disturb you. I didn't ask you out for a drink until now afternoon, when I expected you to be free. "
Mr. Gao drank his tongue a little big, and it was not a secret, so he couldn't help nodding: "yes! I haven't slept since yesterday afternoon. I'm too busy to tell the southeast from the northwest. "
"Those people let you turn over the files?" Lei Yuanwai said tentatively.
Mr. Gao drank too much. He didn't know how he knew that those people were turning over the files. He just nodded his head: "no, there are some old cases. The trafficker case more than 20 years ago doesn't include taking out several lists. Like Master Li, Master Li, master li... "
"Hey, it's Master Li."
"How do I know? It's Li or Lei anyway. I don't know what they're looking for. "
When Lei Yuanwai heard that he had his own surname, his excited face turned red“ What else? "
"What else, no more." Mr. Gao waved his hand, "they turned a lot of things and went out. Hey, how do you ask this? "
Lei Yuanwai's old face stiffened and said with a smile, "drink!"
Lei's heart floated out.
If there is really a golden scale guard in the capital to check the life experience of aunt xihou of the town!
His daughter was also among the missing girls in those years. I don't know how they found the clue, or they know that it is a girl surnamed Li or Lei
And he's ray!
Soon, Jin Shiwei will find his own home, maybe his daughter!
Lei Yuanwai drank a few more cups of Gao shiye until it was dark. Lei Yuanwai sent the shiye home and found an inn for one night.
The next morning, he hurried back to the county with his carriage.
……
But long Xiao and others got the roster of rich businessmen surnamed Li or Lei, and went to explore with their subordinates one by one.
After exploring for several days, that night, Long Xiao returned to the Inn and his subordinates returned one by one.
"My subordinates checked several rich businessmen with surnames on the list in the city government, even now they are declining, but none of the rich businessmen twenty years ago lost their daughter."
"My subordinates checked Hexiang county and other three counties below. A rich businessman surnamed Li had his daughter missing, but let him recognize the picture, but said he was not the person in the picture."
The following people reported one by one that most of those with the same surname had no missing persons. Only three families were found missing, but none of them were her.
"Which one is left?" Dragon filial piety.
"Now only Dongzao county is left. There are a family surnamed Li and Lei."
"Then go tomorrow!" Long Xiao sighed slightly and his eyes sank. If the two counties can't be found... The clue will be broken.
Did the trafficker remember wrong? Not Li or ray?
Several people had a rest all night. The next morning, they dragged their tired body to Dongzao county.
Because there were only two winter jujubes left, Long Xiao personally took the people.
Starting from Chengfu, we arrived at Dongzao County in an hour. Several people stayed in an inn and stopped by to play with the waiter. Where is the mine detector.
After dinner, Long Xiao led people to Lei's house.
The Lei family is a wide house with three entrances. After several people knocked on the door for a while, a young man came out to open the door. When he saw several tall middle-aged men visiting, he was stunned.
The boy said, "who are you looking for?"
Long Xiaodao took out a token: "we are officials. We have something important to find your master."
The young man saw that it was the magistrate's license. He was startled and hurriedly said, "several officials, please come in quickly."
Long Xiao nodded and followed the boy into the room.
If emperor Zhengxuan hadn't asked them to hurry up, they would have to find out the truth within ten days, and they wouldn't have come so clearly.
Several people were led into the wide hall by the boy and allowed the boy to serve tea. They didn't sit down, but said, "please come out of your house."
"Right away." The boy promised that he had turned and gone out.
After a while, two middle-aged men in their late thirties came in, but they were the eldest and second masters of the Lei family.
"It's said that it's several officials. I don't know what to do?" Master Lei came forward.
Long Xiao only said faintly, "master Lei doesn't need to inquire. Just listen to us. It's just a moment's effort."
The Lei brothers' smile froze, and then they answered, "yes."
Long Xiao took out a picture and opened it: "do you recognize the woman in the picture?"
The two brothers were stunned, narrowed their eyes and shook their heads: "I don't know."
Long Xiao and his two subordinates sighed slightly and went to the Li family later. If they still couldn't find it, they had to investigate again.
"Here comes the old man." Then a voice sounded.
Long Xiao looked back and saw an old man in silk clothes of nearly 60 being helped out.
When the Lei brothers saw him, they hurried over to hold him. Master Lei said, "Dad, are you okay?"
"Laifu ran up to me and said, there are some errands at home." Lei Yuanwai said and looked at Long Xiao.
"Don't be surprised, my father got cold yesterday, so he looks a little bad. He's late." Lord Lei said.
"Nothing." Long Xiao said faintly, then picked up the picture and held it in front of master Lei: "master Lei, please have a look. Do you recognize the woman in the picture?"
Member Lei looked outside and saw his old face stunned. Then his face turned white and his eyes widened.
no
Lei almost fell to the ground!
After listening to the conversation between the two people who came back from the capital that day, and then exploring with the master, it has been determined that Zhenxi Hou is looking for his grandfather.
Later, when he learned that he was also on the list, he was full of expectation.
He even asked Laifu to pay attention to the trend of Long Xiao. He knew that these people had explored several counties, such as Chengfu, Hexiang county and Heishan County. Dongzao county was the last, and there were only two of them, Lei and Li.
Long Xiao and others found nothing in front of them, and he inquired that Lao Li's family in the east of the county didn't lose their daughter. Well, it's more and more certain that Zhenxi Hou's aunt is his own daughter!
Lei Yuanwai was so excited that he couldn't sleep well for several days. In order to hide why he was depressed, he panicked that he had a cold.
Today, I finally look forward to the door of Long Xiao and others.
He looked forward to seeing the portrait of his daughter unfolded in the hands of Long Xiao and others.
As a result, what he saw... Was a strange woman!!!
Lei Yuanwai feels dizzy. He should be the ancestor of Zhenxi hou
What I expected has failed after waiting for several days.
"Uncle Lei?" Long Xiao and others were excited when they saw the shocked appearance of member Lei, "what's the matter? Do you recognize? "
"Master Lei, do you recognize it?" Long Xiao's subordinates were also encouraged by Lei Yuanwai's abnormal expression and found it! eureka!
