Di Renjie, who was far away at the border, was not aware of the changing circumstances of God Capital at this time. What was pressing in his heart was the disappearance of the young owner of Xilin Mountain Villa, Tang Zhun. Although the owner Tang Yinran also claimed that Tang Zhun eloped with his stepmother, Di Renjie still felt this. There must be something strange!
At dusk, Tang Yinran prepared a dinner for Di Renjie. Because the young owner was missing, everyone seemed to be very worried. Everyone did not drink at the dinner, so the dinner soon ended!
Di Renjie said to Tang Yinran: "Lord Tang, you just said that someone saw Linglang and his wife leave Xilin Villa in a carriage with his own eyes. Could you please come here? Dimou would like to ask him some questions in person?"
Tang Yinran exclaimed, "Okay! Your lord sits down for a while, and the Cao Min orders him to come!"
Soon, a servant led a servant-like person to Di Renjie, and the servant knelt down in front of Tang Yinran with a plop!
"Little Zhou An knocks on the master!"
"Zhou An, this is the imperial commissioner. The prime minister, Di Ge, don't hesitate to see him soon?" Tang Yinran said compared to Di Renjie!
Zhou An was taken aback, and then kowtowed: "Little man Zhou An, kowtow to the elder!"
When Tang Yinran heard Zhou An calling Di Renjie the elder, he couldn’t help showing trepidation. Zhou An didn’t mean it. The biggest official he had ever met was the county prince when he grew up, so he thought that the elder was just the name for a high official. Up!
Tang Yinran quickly said, "Zhou An, don't be rude, this is an imperial commissioner, who is a thousand miles older than your county grandfather!"
When Zhou An heard this, he was panicked, but he didn't know what to call it, so he couldn't help but kowtow to Di Renjie!
Di Renjie twisted the bearded smile and said, "Okay, okay, Zhou Anna, you can get up and talk, whether this county grandfather or imperial servant, they are all the parents of the people. What does it mean to call it? Zhou Anna, you Don't be afraid, I just want to ask you a few questions!"
Zhou An stood up slowly, bowed respectfully and stood in front of Di Renjie, and said, "Master, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask, the younger ones must know everything!"
Tang Yinran angrily rebuked: "Is it still a big man? Tell you..."
Di Renjie hurriedly stopped Tang Yinran, and said, "Don't rebuke Tang Zhuangzhu. The big master is the big master. When Di was a county magistrate for many years, he was called the big master. He still feels a little cordial!"
Tang Yinran heard Di Renjie say so, but also slowed down.
After reconciling, Di Renjie continued: "Zhou Anna, what do you do in Xilin Villa?"
Zhou An bowed and said, "Going back to the elder, the young man is a rough man, but he has the strength. He is a handyman in the house of the village. He usually does some chores of picking water and chopping wood!"
Di Renjie looked at Zhou An up and down, and said approvingly: "Well! I see that this figure is indeed a bit strong! Okay, Zhou An, Tang Zhuang said that you saw Young Zhuang Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang in the carriage together. Leaving Xilin Villa?"
Zhou An nodded and said, "Yes, the villain did see it with his own eyes!"
Di Renjie said: "Well, you can tell the situation at that time!"
Zhou An thought for a moment and said: "About ten days ago..."
Zhou An told everyone what he saw that day!
In the early hours of winter, the sky was still dark. The people in Xilin Villa were still asleep. Zhou An got up early as usual, because he was going to the well to pick up water. His daily work was to pick up a few tanks of water before the house opened fire. !
On this day, Zhou An finished picking up water, set a fire on the stove, and put water on the stove. After everything was ready, Zhou An went to the courtyard to chop wood!
After chopping the firewood for a while, the water on the stove was opened. Zhou An put down his wood-chopping axe, walked into the room, filled the stove with some water, turned around to get out, walked to the door, and suddenly saw the corner of the wall not far away. There was a figure, Zhou An hurriedly hid behind the door and looked in secretly!
At this moment, a figure flashed out from behind the wall with a burden on him. It was Tang Zhun, the young owner of Xilin Villa. Tang Zhun saw Zhou An enter the room and waved behind him. A woman walked out of the dark. It was the owner's wife Haitang. Haitang looked at Tang Zhun nervously, a little nervous, and wanted to ask her back, but Tang Zhun motioned her to silence!
Tang Zhun looked at the back door, and then at the room. Seeing that Zhou An hadn't come out, he took Haitang to the back door and gently opened the latch!
Squeak!
When the back door opened, Tang Zhun hurriedly pulled Haitang out of the back door. There was a carriage waiting here long ago!
At this moment, Zhou An came out of the room and saw the back door wide open. He said to himself: "Why are the young owner and his wife going out so early? Where are you going? Hey, let him, I I have to close the door. If the butler sees this, I can’t break my leg?"
With that said, Zhou An walked towards the back door, preparing
After closing the door, he caught a glimpse of a carriage not far away. Zhou An poked out his head curiously and looked in the direction of the carriage. He saw the young owner Tang Zhunzheng supporting his wife Haitang in the carriage. After Haitang got on the carriage, Tang Zhunye Jumping into the carriage and lowering the car curtain, the coachman immediately urged the horse forward, and soon the carriage disappeared into the darkness!
Zhou An was puzzled in his heart and said to himself: "It's so strange that the young owner and his wife are going out so early and still going through the back door? What are you doing?"
Suddenly, Zhou An slapped himself and said to himself: "What do I want to do?"
Zhou An closed the back door of the villa, inserted the latch, and continued to chop the firewood disapprovingly!
After listening to Zhou An’s account, Di Renjie pondered for a moment and said: “Zhou An, you found that the young owner and his wife left the village together, did you report it to the owner?"
Zhou An bowed and said, "Going back to the master, my master was not in the village for a few days. Later, when the master came back, the little one forgot about it. When the master asked who had seen the master and the village Mrs. Lord, the little one just remembered!
Tang Yinran interrupted: "My lord, it's like this. Not long ago, a few squires wanted to sell some fertile land, and the grass people deliberately put it away. So the grass people went to the squires to look at the land and discuss the price. , So not in the village!"
Di Renjie nodded and said, "Oh, so it is! That is to say, since you saw the young owner and his wife leave that day, you haven't seen them again, haven't you?"
Insert a sentence, the book-chasing app I am using recently, cache reading, offline reading!
Zhou An replied: "Back to the big master, the big master is right. Since the day of the fight, the young one has never seen the young owner and the wife again!"
Di Renjie twisted his beard and pondered for a moment, then said: "Okay, you go down! If you think of any missing details that day, you must tell me in time!"
"Yes! Little quit!" Zhou Anshen bowed and exited the room!
Di Renjie stayed silent for a while and thoughtfully. After a long time, Di Renjie said: "Tang Zhuangzhu, what is the difference between Linglang and Mrs. Zun before they disappeared?"
Tang Yinran pondered for a moment, and said, "Master Hui, when the Caomin was in the village, he didn't find anything unusual about them, but when the Caomin was not in the village, the Caomin didn't know what happened!"
Di Renjie took a sip of tea, slowly put down the tea bowl, and then asked: "Tang Zhuangzhu, please forgive Di for the abruptness. Before Ling Lang went missing, did he have anything to trespass with Mrs. Zun?"
