Returning to his old house, Jia Lian immediately asked the general to be brought over to see him.

After a while, Wang Sheng and others were seen escorting a thin man over. He looked panicked, and before he saw the real owner, he had already started begging for mercy.

"Masters, please have mercy on me. I am just a runt in the yamen. Just tell me what you want me to say. I will never refuse..."

Sun Zairen felt very regretful.

He is a servant under the Yingtianfu Yamen, but he is not the kind to arrest people. He is only responsible for standing guard inside the Yamen.

A few days ago, he discovered that a group of people were looking for a "little monk from Suzhou". At that time, he guessed that they would not look for him?

But he used to be a young monk in a small temple, and later wandered around the south of the Yangtze River. He finally settled in Nanjing, and even found a job as a servant in Yingtian Mansion. He is such a humble person. , who is worthy of asking about his whereabouts?

I thought to myself that in the past few years, I had done a lot of sneaky things in order to survive. I was so afraid that I didn’t dare to let people know that he was from Suzhou and that he had really been a monk.

But that group of people seemed to have quite a background. Even the Yamen had to give them a bit of a pat on the back. They came looking for people several times, but he didn't even dare to take the lead.

Later, he heard from other guys that those people came to him under the orders of a man named "Lord Amemura", and he immediately couldn't sit still.

Of course he knew this person in Jia Yucun. He stayed in their temple when he was still a poor man.

Although he became a monk, he was somewhat smart and insightful. He knew that the downfall of famous scholars like Jia Yucun was only temporary, so he respected him very much and volunteered to work as a handyman. , serving and caring for Jiayu Village.

Later, their temple was burned down by a fire, and the group of monks no longer had a place to stay, so they had to find their own way.

I had also heard that Jia Yucun had indeed won the gold medal, and he had intended to serve, but he didn't know his whereabouts, and he was humble, fearing that the other party would not accept him, so he gave up.

Now, after many years, I suddenly heard that a noble person was looking for me, so it was hard to think about it patiently. Could it be that Mr. Jia recalled the friendship back then and wanted to repay it?

So after repeated observations and feeling that those people did not have any malicious intent, they finally took the initiative to expose their identities.

Unexpectedly, when they learned that he was the young monk from Suzhou, the originally friendly strong man suddenly changed his color and shouted, "He is your boy, make it easy for us to find him!"

Then he was restrained, tied to a horse and taken away.

It’s so pitiful, I only saw it beforeWhen the guys went out to arrest people, how could they have thought that as an official, they would be kidnapped in broad daylight?

Later, he saw the group of people who kidnapped him actually came to the rumored Gonghou Street. He lay on his horse and looked up at the words "Rongguo Mansion", and saw that they really brought He entered through the corner door, and his heart suddenly felt cold.

It’s over, it’s over, I thought someone would see me when I was kidnapped and the government would come to rescue him, but now I have no hope...

Being locked up in that dark place After thinking about it in the room for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what kind of virtue or ability he had, so that he could offend the people of the Duke's government and make the other party try every possible means to arrest him!

"Be honest!"

Being roughly pushed into a hall that was much more luxurious than the lobby of their government office, he knelt on the ground and looked up. Sure enough, sitting at the top, a rich, handsome and noble man with extraordinary manners was looking at him with a frown.

"My lord, please forgive me. I really don't know where I offended my lord, and I beg your forgiveness..."

With his hands tied, he could only continue He begged for mercy with his head on the ground.

When Jia Lian saw him like this, he shook his head, knowing that Wang Sheng and others had misunderstood and frightened him.

“Let him go.”

Jia Lian ordered.

The reason why he frowned was not dissatisfaction, it was just that the person in front of him was different from what he imagined.

This is not a young novice monk. He is clearly a lean, middle-aged cadre who has nothing to do with a monk.

In order to verify whether he had found the wrong person, Jia Lian asked directly: "Do you know the Calabash Temple?"

After hearing Jia Lian's question, his hands were just untied and he was Sun Zairen, who kept thanking him, immediately lost the thought of adapting to circumstances.

The other party even knew about the Calabash Temple, which shows that they had thoroughly investigated him!

"Replying to the master, I know that the Calabash Temple was originally located on Shili Street in Suzhou. I dare not deceive the master. I used to be a member of the Calabash Temple. Later, the Calabash Temple was destroyed by a fire. , the villain had no choice but to renew his hair and do this..."

Hearing this, Jia Lian immediately felt relieved, and finally found someone.

He also wanted to send Daiyu back to Beijing. He couldn’t stay in Nanjing for too long because of Xiangling’s matter. If Wang Sheng and others couldn’t find anyone again, he couldn’t help but look for him himself. The prefect Yingtian asked him to investigate the case...

But this would make it easier to confirm the facts. After all, he came from a noble family and it was not easy for him to have too much influence with the local administrative office. Coming and going.

"Get up now."

"Thank you, sir..."

Sun Zairen realized from Jia Lian's attitude that the situation did not seem to be that bad, and he was afraid He shrank back and did not dare to look directly at Jia Lian. He just said: "I wonder why the great master summoned the little man here? No matter what the great master ordered, the little man will go through fire and water without hesitation..."

Jia Lian waved his hand to interrupt him and asked: "Do you know Zhen Yinglian?"

When Jia Lian asked this question, his eyes became stern and he stared straight at the person in front of him.

Sun Zairen was so frightened that he took a step back and said tremblingly: "Little man... I know that Miss Yinglian is the daughter of Mr. Zhen next to the Calabash Temple. I heard that she was abducted by a kidnapper. Gone..."

Jia Lian saw that he still had something to say, and felt even more happy. He took advantage of the situation and said, "Then do you know where she is now? I was entrusted by a friend to find her whereabouts. , if you know her information, if you tell me carefully, I will reward you greatly!"

He has the title of Tongzhi and can call himself an officer. He knows that this is also the most valuable thing for these low-level officers. Deterrent identity.

Sun Zairen immediately knelt down on the ground with a plop: "Reporting to the eldest master, it seems that I really know the whereabouts of Miss Yinglian..."

"Since I know, I still Come on, why are you so long-winded?" Wang Sheng, who was next to him, couldn't help but interject. When the Second Master asks you a question, you just answer it obediently. Why are you hesitating?

Sun Zairen did not dare to hesitate any more and stammered: "Last month, a man came to my house and wanted to rent my house. I didn't want to rent it to him at first, but then I But I rented it to him... The reason is that I saw his daughter with a rouge mark on her forehead...

The adults don’t know, but I met Miss Yinglian when I was at the Calabash Temple. , Miss Yinglian has a rouge mark the size of a grain of rice on her forehead. I heard it was brought from the mother's womb, and it is very rare for other people to have this!

So I was suspicious, could it be God? It just so happens that that person is Miss Yinglian..."

Sun Zairen said, he also felt that things were a bit too coincidental, a coincidence that was a bit weird!

Where is someone looking for Miss Zhen’s head? How could it be that last month, he happened to have information about Miss Zhen's family?

If that daughter is really Miss Yinglian, then the man who took her must be a kidnapper. How could he be so lucky that he just happened to come to rent a house from me? How did you know that I happened to recognize Miss Yinglian?

There were a series of questions in his heart but he didn’t dare to ask them casually. He had already experienced a lot of unreasonable things today.

For example, it is very unreasonable for him to be caught here.After he decided to return to secular life, he rarely mentioned his past affairs to others, and even gave himself the name "Zai Ren", which means reincarnation!

In this way, the young master of Rongguo Mansion was able to find him out. I don’t know why he was looking for him, and how he was able to find him by such a coincidence.

Jia Lian took a long breath, Xiangling really let this little novice meet, and things would be easier to handle.

He was worried before that even if he found the young monk, if he hadn't met Xiangling yet, there would be nothing he could do.

At this moment, there was no need to ask any more questions, Jia Lian stood up directly.

　“Let’s go, take me to meet people!”
