Chapter 748: Jiang Dalang disappeared
Chapter 748 Jiang Dalang is missing
It took a month and spent more than 80 taels of silver. The Jiaojia old house at the west entrance of Shifeng Lane was renovated. After the white ash on the walls and the water paint on the doors and windows were dry, Jiang Pinglan rushed to the Mid-Autumn Festival. Moved into a new house with my daughter. Li Zhengqiu was introduced by his father-in-law to the great scholar Li Deshan, and brought his wife and children to live in a rented house in Jingshanfang, where Li Deshan was located. Shao Chengyun also moved out of Jiang's house, but instead of following his cousin to Jingshanfang, he bought a small house in Yongpingfang, south of Jiang's house.
After they all moved out, the servants of the Jiang family began to prepare for Jiang Dalang's marriage next month under the urging of Chen's screaming.
"My last letter said that I can come back before July 20th. Today is July 14th, and I don't know where I'm going." Jiang Mujin said while cutting the money with scissors. The Zhongyuan Festival is the time to worship ancestors, and the money is a must for ancestor worship. In previous years, these things were prepared by the aunt, and this year they were allocated to the four sisters.
"Should come to Gyeonggi. Dang! Dang! Dang!" Jiang Liu, the youngest but the strongest, knocked out a stack of punched paper money with an iron mold, Shu Qiu immediately took it away, and put another stack on the girl.
Jiang Muzheng, who was origami ingots, said, "Big brother is rushing back from Huaiqing House. As long as there is no heavy rain, he will definitely be able to reach Kang'an before twenty."
"Dang! Dang! Dang!" Jiangliu finished carving the last pile of straw paper, put down the iron mold, and Shuqiu immediately handed the girl a cloth towel to wipe her hands, and then handed a cup of summer tea.
Jiang Mujin also felt thirsty when she saw the sixth sister drinking tea. She put down the scissors and asked Shu Qiu to pour herself a cup. He took a sip and asked, "Where is Huaiqing Mansion in Kang'an?"
Jiang Muyan, who painted river lanterns with a fine brush dipped in cinnabar, replied, "It should be in the northwest."
"It's in the northwest." Jiang Liu's heart skipped a beat when she finished speaking, she stood up nonchalantly and said, "I'll go find Uncle Qiu."
Jiang Liu was in charge of many affairs in the shop and the mansion. It was no surprise that she went to Uncle Qiu. The three sisters still painted river lanterns, cut money, and folded ingots in the room with peace of mind.
Jiang Liu quickly walked to Uncle Qiu's courtyard and asked, "Uncle Qiu, where's the map my brother brought back?"
Uncle Qiu immediately took out the map from the dark compartment of the bookshelf and handed it to Jiang Liu. Jiang Liu unfolded the map, and soon found Xiuwu County, Huaiqing Prefecture, written in Dalang's letter. She pointed her finger on Xiuwu County, walked southeast along the official road on the map, passed Wuzhi, and arrived at Yuanyang. After Yuanyang entered Gyeonggi, there was a circle made by his elder brother with cinnabar. There are bandits here!
Jiang Liu raised his eyes and asked Uncle Qiu, "Have you sent someone to investigate here?"
Uncle Qiu shook his head, "Not yet, the old man sent people to investigate a few points in Taikang County."
Jiang Liu's hand went along the official road again, passing through Yuanyang and Zhongmu to Taikang. Meng Tingwan escaped in Taikang, and Uncle Qiu first checked the bandit den in Taikang without any problem. Jiang left a message, "My eldest brother is going to return to Kang'an from Xiuwu County in the past few days. I'm afraid that Meng Ting's evening will be detrimental to him."
Jiang Dalang traveled with four classmates, and his servants followed 30 people. They were all on official roads. It is reasonable to say that there should be no accident. However, if Meng Tingwan really controls a team of people and gets the news that Jiang Dalang will pass by on his territory, he will definitely take action.
Uncle Qiu immediately said, "Just in case, the old man immediately arranged to send someone to pick up the eldest young master?"
Jiang Liu nodded, "Send a few more people and set off immediately."
"it is good."
Jiang Liu thought for a moment, and then said, "Keep Shuxia and her child firmly under the watch. If my elder brother has any trouble, this child should be able to come in handy."
Uncle Qiu nodded, "This old man will arrange it."
Although there was no news, Jiang Liu felt a strong sense of unease. She raised her eyes and asked Uncle Qiu, "If my eldest brother falls into Meng Tingwan's hands, what do you think he will do?"
Uncle Qiu stroked his beard and said, "With Meng Tingwan's temperament, he will torture the eldest young master, torture the Jiang family, and kill him only after he has tortured enough."
Meng Tingwan knew the Jiang family too well. He knew that Jiang Dalang was the eldest grandson who had high hopes from his grandmother, uncle, and father. If he caught and tortured Jiang Dalang, the Jiang family would be heartbroken. Jiang Liu just hoped that he didn't have the strength, or that he didn't notice the whereabouts of Brother Dalang.
But things backfired. The people who Uncle Qiu sent to meet Jiang Dalang sent back the news on the third day. They did not find Jiang Dalang's whereabouts in Xiuwu and Wuzhi!
Jiang Song was so frightened that he fell on the chair and said in a trembling voice, "Dalang works calmly, even if he has something to change his way, he will not fail to send us letters."
Something must have happened! Jiang Huai immediately looked at the second brother.
Jiang Erye was also panicked, and he immediately said, "The four people who are with Dalang are the first-class players in our house, even if they encounter something, they can resist for a while, let's not panic, we must not let mother I know about it with my sister-in-law. Third brother."
Jiang Huai stood up immediately.
Jiang Erye said, "Immediately send someone to inquire at the homes of a few people who are traveling with Dalang, and see if there is any news from them."
"Okay." Jiang Huai went out immediately.
Jiang Song calmed down and said, "I have also exchanged letters with Guan Yuehe, the prefect of Huaiqing, and I will write to him immediately."
Jiang Erye nodded, and asked Uncle Qiu, "Do you always have a good plan?"
Uncle Qiu said, "For today's plan, we must first find out the whereabouts of the eldest young master. The old man has already sent out all those who can be sent..."
The communication of news was too slow, Jiang Erye stood up and said, "If it is Meng Ting's hand, the person he hates most is me, and he will definitely show up when I go! I will rush to Xiuwu immediately, big brother. Presiding over the overall situation in Fuzhong."
"Second brother, let's still..." Jiang Song was worried about his son, and also worried that his second brother would be in danger.
"Brother, don't worry, my younger brother is measured. I will go to the governor and leave Beijing now, and tomorrow you will tell my mother the news of my younger brother's departure from Beijing." Jiang Erye immediately ordered Jiang Houer and Jiang Bao, "Monkey stay behind. , Bao'er prepare a horse and follow me out of Beijing."
Jiang Song couldn't hold his second brother's sleeve even when he raised his hand, and watched him walk away quickly. Uncle Qiu comforted Jiang Song and said, "The second master is a person with great luck, and nothing will happen. The second master will go there in person, and he will be able to bring the eldest young master back safely."
Jiang Song said immediately, "Please send a few people to protect my second brother, I must not let him have an accident."
Uncle Qiu cupped his hands and walked out quickly.
It was still early, and Zhang Wenjiang had not yet come to work in Jingzhao Mansion. Jiang Erye rushed to Zhang Wenjiang's mansion to take leave. Zhang Wenjiang was not at ease and let him go alone. He sent the six best arresters from Jingzhao Mansion to accompany him to protect him.
After the six arrests were in place, Erye Jiang immediately led people out of the Golden Light Gate on horseback. Seeing that Uncle Qiu's men were already waiting outside the city on horseback, Erye Jiang raised his whip just as he was about to call for departure, but saw a flash of light from the crowd. A touch of green. Qin Qing actually rode with his precious daughter and mixed in with the crowd!
