Chapter 245 I Believed For Him First(1/2)
Fan Xiaodao, Fan Huowu stared at her with wide eyes.
This girl who seemed to be quiet and elegant said such bold words to a man, and even a fool could understand what she wanted to express. She was really a wise son!
Zhao Xing was not a fool, and he looked at Lu Tingfang in surprise. After a long time, he said, "It's inexplicable."
Lu Tingfang's face immediately turned red, like ripe apples, and like azaleas blooming all over the mountains and fields in late autumn, making people feel infinite pity.
Zhao Xing, a straight man with a elm head, can't even bear it even Fan Xiaodao.
Fan Xiaodao said, "Whether he believes it or not, I will believe it for him first." He asked Fan Huowu to come and write a note and handed it to Lu Tingfang, "Miss Lu, this is Zhao Xing's birth date. You can take it first, and find a master to calculate it when you look back."
Lu Tingfang took it, folded it carefully, put it in her sleeve, and looked at Zhao Xing affectionately, leaving with shame.
Zhao Xing looked helpless, "You are watching the fun and not bothering you."
Fan Xiaodao said, "Oh, I really envy your fate as a woman. In the capital, in Jiangnan, and even on the road, there are people who throw themselves into your arms. Why is this kind of beautiful thing not my turn?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Huowu suddenly stepped forward, hugged Fan Xiaodao, and sent her lips to her.
Bang!
Fan Xiaodao felt like he was struck by lightning, and his mind was blank and buzzing.
Just a touch.
Like the sweet spring water in March, it makes people feel endless aftertaste.
Fan Huowu's face turned slightly red, "Today you can help me and vent your anger. This is a reward for you!"
Fan Xiaodao touched his lips, "One more!"
Bang!
A slap in the face.
Fan Xiaodao covered his face and said, "What are you going to beat me?"
Fan Huowu said, "Let you speak without any restraint."
Fan Xiaodao said, "This feels really unforgettable."
Zhao Xing felt very happy, "I'll give you a jujube with a slap!"
Anyway, it was closed, Fan Huowu got on the door panel and made two side dishes. The three of them were eating and chatting while eating. Time flies, and two hours had passed before they knew it.
Fan Xiaodao stood up and said, "Go back to the yamen."
As soon as I went out, I saw a group of officers and soldiers outside the door blocking the entire Zhuque Street and checking the people coming and going, as if something had happened. The leader was Li Mo, deputy general of the garrison army.
The military and political power in Jiangnan is in the Governor's Office. For example, the garrison troops are stationed outside the city all year round and rarely enter the city. Why are there all the garrison troops on the streets today?
Fan Xiaodao said, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Xing was also full of strangeness.
Li Mo came to the door of the restaurant, "Captain Zhao, Captain Fan, Governor General, invites you."
Li Mo was also helpful in Qixia Mountain. Fan Xiaodao had a good impression of him. Seeing him anxious, he asked, "What happened?"
Li Mo whispered, "Governor Xu's daughter has been kidnapped."
The two of them said in surprise, "Xu Miaozi?"
Li Mo said, "That's true. It is said that Miss Xu's last appearance was at the Peach Blossom Restaurant. You two are here too. The lord asked you two to go back and ask questions."
"Don't you think it was ours, right?"
Li Mo said, "That's not. We don't know the specific reason."
Li Mo ordered people to get a fast horse, three of them rode three times, and came to Xu Ting's mansion.
The Xu Mansion is already in chaos.
Xu Ting sat in the hall with a gloomy face, while Xu Changwei looked depressed, standing beside him without saying a word, but Mrs. Xu kept crying.
Xu Ting said impatiently: "Just crying, you know that crying. Can crying solve the problem? You have never seen you have such a harmonious relationship on weekdays."
Mrs. Xu said, "No matter how much we make trouble, it will be a family matter after all. If something happens to Miao'er, I don't want to live anymore."
Xu Changwei muttered, "I am my biological child, right?"
Fan and Zhao came to the hall and saluted: "I have met the Governor!"
Xu Changwei saw Fan Xiaodao's eyes lit up. At Confucius Temple that day, it was this guy who beat me up, causing him to be confined until now. He has not gone out for more than half a month. He pointed at Fan Xiaodao and said, "Why are you here? Mom, he beat me that day!"
Mrs. Xu said, "When is it time to say this?"
Fan and Zhao met Governor Xu for the first time. Governor Xu, who has a prestigious reputation in the court and the country, has a pretty good reputation. He is thin and angry with a scholarly face. Although his face is not good-looking, his demeanor is still the same.
He said, "Who is Zhao Xing?"
Zhao Xingdao, "I am."
Xu Ting said, "I didn't expect that Zi Shang's son is so old after not seeing him for twenty years!"
Zi Shang is the name of Zhao Xing's father Zhao Huan.
Zhao Xingdao, "Do you know my father?"
Xu Ting said: "Your father and I are the same Jinshi as me. When he entered Hanlin, I was sent to the magistrate, which was considered an old friend. Logically speaking, you should call me a uncle."
Zhao Xing bowed and said, "Hello, Uncle Shi!"
Xu Ting said, "I'm looking for you two today for Xu Miaozi's business. I believe you all know it. The little girl was kidnapped by evil people in the city today, and her whereabouts are unknown. Although I sent a garrison army to the city, these people are laymen after all. If you want to save people, you have to take action."
Zhao Xingdao: "The responsibility is unshirkable!"
Xu Ting said, "I am only one daughter. No matter what, I will not let her get into trouble at any cost!" He took out a piece of military talisman from his arms and handed it to Zhao Xing, and said, "During the rescue, the garrison in the city, you can obey your order!"
Li Mo came to report, "Pan Niesi and Prefect Xie are waiting in the study."
Xu Ting nodded and said to Zhao Xingdao, "Give you a day. If you need cooperation at home, you can ask the manager Lao Ding."
...
Walking out of Xu's mansion, there were garrison troops everywhere on the street, searching Xu Miaozi's whereabouts from door to door.
Fan Xiaodao said, "Jinling City is so big, it is not easy to hide someone. If you continue to investigate like this, it will be three days and three nights, and there will be no result."
Zhao Xingdao: "Yes, this is your old job. You are more professional in kidnapping. What are your opinions?"
Fan Xiaodao analyzed, "First start with the motive of hijacking people, kidnapping is nothing more than a few purposes, seeking money, robbing sex, revenge, and coercing. Among them, seeking money is eliminated first."
“Why?”
Fan Xiaodao said, "The risk is too great, the profit is too small. There are so many rich people in Jinling City, and they pick up persimmons and pinch them softly. If you were to risk such a great price to kidnap the daughter of the Governor?"
“It makes sense.”
"The second is the sex. Although Xu Miaozi has a bad temper, she has to admit that she is really good-looking and is also a talented woman in Jiangnan. She is famous in Jinling. If there is really an extreme supporter who will kidnap her, then she will be miserable."
"As for revenge and coercion, there are third-party demands, and I think these two possibilities are the greatest."
Zhao Xingdao, "Who did Xu Miaozi offend? No, who should Xu Ting offend?"
Fan Xiaodao said: "I am not the worm in his stomach, how do I know? On Qixia Mountain, I sent a garrison army to disrupt the deployment of the Cao Gang and hinder the situation of killing me. Does it count?"
If it was really a revenge from the Cao Gang or the Jiangnan Transportation Department, this matter would be troublesome.
After some analysis, the possibility of revenge is extremely high.
If this is true, Xu Miaozi might be in danger.
Fan Xiaodao said again, "After talking about the motivation, let's talk about the means. If we want to rob people, we won't be hot on our heads. We will usually make arrangements in advance, make investigations and preparations, and understand their preferences, including installing eyeliners at the other party's home."
The two returned to Xu's mansion and found Manager Ding, asking for the newly recruited maid, servant, and guard list in the past three months. After learning about the situation with the dean of guard, they found a suspicious person named Song Chun.
Song Chun was recruited two months ago. She was young and had practiced martial arts, so she arranged to be a guard. This kid often asked about Xu Miaozi. At first he thought he admired the lady, but now he thinks that he is really strange.
"Where is the person that Song Chun?"
Manager Ding said: "Now the house is in chaos, who still cares about this?"
Dean Hu said, "Miss went out for a trip today. He was supposed to be on duty, but this morning, he said that there was something wrong at home and found someone to replace him!"
Finally got a little confused!
It was indeed a premeditated kidnapping!
Zhao Xingdao, "Click out Song Chun's files."
Soon, the manager took a few pages of paper and Fan Xiaodao said, "You don't need to read it, you know that your parents have both died and you came to Jinling to join relatives. The sponsorship letters issued by the local insurance company were all bought with money."
Manager Ding asked, "How do you know?"
Fan Xiaodao thought to himself, I am in this industry, can you tell you?
"Give me one of this file!"
Xu Miaozi disappeared, and the garrison army blocked the city as soon as possible and set up a checkpoint. Xu Miaozi is likely to be still in Zhuquefang. Even so, there are nearly 20,000 households in Zhuquefang. To find Xu Miaozi, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
The most urgent task is to find the man named Song Chun.
This is an important clue to Xu Miaozi's disappearance.
