Chapter 341 The whereabouts of the child
"Let me hear it."
Meng Qianqian squeezed in front of Lu Yuan and put her ear against the thick and cold iron door.
Lu Yuan looked at a certain woman who was swaying in his arms, took a deep breath, and blocked him with her broad body to prevent her imageless appearance from being seen by Xing Shangshu and Master Hu.
Master Hu said to himself that he did not dare to look at it.
When the Governor turned around, the knife in his eyes was sharper than the unsheathed sword!
Meng Qianqian wished her ears could grow on the wall: "Uncle Xing, why can't I hear anything?"
Xing Shangshu explained: "It's not an ordinary cell inside. There are three stone doors alone. Even the top masters can't hear what's going on in the cell."
Meng Qianqian opened the door desperately: "It turns out that the Criminal Department still has such a strict place."
Master Hu muttered: "I didn't expect you guys to come and listen to me."
Master Hu received another eye-dagger from the Governor.
"Can you open the door a crack? Just a little."
Meng Qianqian gestured with her fingers.
Xing Shangshu pondered for a moment and said: "The door is locked from the inside and cannot be opened from the outside. The cells here were built to prevent this situation."
Meng Qianqian: "Oh."
These days, the thief is myself.
Just when Meng Qianqian was thinking about how to get in and eavesdrop, the cell door was opened.
Chenlong walked out alone.
Xing Shangshu looked relaxed.
Chenlong looked at the four people who were sneaking around...only Meng Qianqian was sneaking around, and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Master Hu was stunned: You broke into the Criminal Department, and you asked us...what happened?
Chenlong thought for a while and then said to Xing Shangshu: "My trespassing into the Criminal Department has nothing to do with Mrs. Lu."
The corner of Lu Yuan's mouth twitched. Does that mean it has something to do with the governor?
He really knows how to support people.
Xing Shangshu said sternly: "Chenlong, the Supreme Emperor has a decree and forgives your innocence, but it can't be announced to the world for the time being, so the Ministry of Punishment will still pretend to arrest you in the future. In addition, if you need to join the Ministry of Punishment again, you don't have to use today's methods. , I will make arrangements for you.”
Chenlong looked at Meng Qianqian: "Have you gone to the Supreme Emperor to plead for mercy?"
Meng Qianqian waved her hands and glanced at Lu Yuan standing aside.
Chenlong understood: "Did you ask him to plead for mercy?"
Lu Yuan, who was ruthlessly deprived of his credit by his brother-in-law, instantly darkened his face.
Xing Shangshu asked: "Chenlong, what did the Prime Minister say to you? Is there any new evidence of crime?"
Chenlong replied decisively: "I can't tell you."
Xing Shangshu frowned.
Meng Qianqian whispered to Xing Shangshu: "Uncle Xing, since the Emperor has issued a decree, Chen Long is no longer a fugitive. We cannot torture him to extract a confession. Why not let him leave first, and I will find an opportunity to talk something out of him." "
Xing Shangshu nodded helplessly: "That's all we can do."
The three of them left the Criminal Department.
On the carriage, Meng Qianqian asked Chenlong: "Brother, has the Prime Minister agreed to your terms?"
"Promise."
"Then, did you give him the evidence of your crime?"
Chen Long immediately wanted to say that he would hand over the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. When the words reached his lips, he felt something was wrong. He paused and said, "When I see the twins, I will hand over the evidence to him with my own hands. Today, I just showed it to him." Take a moment to distinguish the true from the false.”
Meng Qianqian was extremely surprised: "Wait, twins? You mean the second aunt... gave birth to two children?"
Chen Long said: "That's what the Prime Minister said. I don't think he needs to lie about this matter."
"That's true."
No one has seen that child. If the Prime Minister wants to fool Chen Long, a child is the most sensible thing. Twins of twins are very rare, not to mention that they have to be of the same age.
"The second aunt has left two bloodlines for the merchant. It's really not easy for the second aunt."
A woman's ten-month pregnancy is difficult and dangerous, and having twins is even more dangerous.
Meng Qianqian could not imagine how much suffering her second aunt had to go through before she gave birth to two children in the crisis-ridden Qianji Pavilion.
Chen Long said: "The imperial court has always wanted to destroy Qianji Pavilion, but unfortunately Qianji Pavilion is too despicable and shameless, so they found someone to be a scapegoat. I guess those two children should be in Qianji Pavilion."
Meng Qianqian said: "Qianji Pavilion is no longer in the West City. I don't know where it has moved. It seems to have withdrawn from the world." In her previous life, she had asked people to find out about the whereabouts of Qianji Pavilion, but unfortunately they all came to nothing.
I don’t know how Xiangguo Xun colluded with Qianji Pavilion.
Or perhaps, when the merchants were avenged by the Loulan people, Xun Xiangguo had already colluded with Qianji Pavilion.
Then he could really endure it, and it took him several years before going to Xicheng.
Before him, he had been to several imperial envoys and military envoys, but they all ended in haste.
In desperation, he took command as a civilian official and went to war.
The people all burst into tears of gratitude, and no one associated him with the merchant's misfortune.
Meng Qianqian clenched her fists: "Xun, Prime Minister, Guo!"
Chenlong saw murderous intent suddenly flashing through Meng Qianqian's eyes, and was annoyed that he had made her unhappy again.
Lu Yuan said to Chen Long: "What did he hold on to?"

Chen Long said: "I can't tell you."
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Okay, let me change the question. Do you really plan to return the evidence to him in the end?"
Chenlong said truthfully: "If he hands both children to me unscathed, yes."
Lu Yuan tapped Meng Qianqian's sleeve: "Please advise him."
Meng Qianqian muttered: "He is stubborn and cannot be persuaded."
Lu Yuan said calmly: "If you put it that way, I'll take it by force."
"Don't—" Meng Qianqian quickly stood between the two of them and said to Lu Yuan, "It's only been a long time since we started, and you're still injured. Have you forgotten? Besides, I also hope to rescue those two children."
Lu Yuan said: "Isn't it easy to know where someone is?"
Meng Qianqian's eyes lit up, she grabbed his hand and said, "Do you have any idea?"
Lu Yuan glanced at someone's hand that was pressed into his palm, and said with a cold expression: "In broad daylight, when there are outsiders around, you should be more reserved."
After saying that, she held Meng Qianqian's hand.
Meng Qianqian: “…”
Lu Yuan asked Chen Long: "Did he tell you a deadline?"
Chen Long said: "Within one month."
Lu Yuan thoughtfully said: "In a month, once you go back and forth, the place will not be too far. But if Qianji Pavilion is so close to the capital, there won't be no news for so many years. There is only one possibility, he flew Ge sent a message to Qianji Pavilion and asked Qianji Pavilion to send the person."
Chen Long said: "You mean to keep an eye on the Ministry of Justice and intercept the secret letters he sends out."
Lu Yuan said sarcastically: "I'm afraid you don't know a word of his secret letter."
Chen Long said angrily: "Lu Yuan!"
Meng Qianqian said hurriedly: "Brother, please don't be angry. I think what your husband means is that the prime minister will use secret codes that we can't understand. Only his confidants can understand."
Lu Yuan gave Chen Long a look that said your sister has more brains than you: "Summon that big bird."
"What big bird?"
"The old man's eagle."
"Didn't it go to Miao territory?"
"You just call it."
Meng Qianqian bent her index finger and whistled to the sky.
call out!
A vigorous figure flew up from the sky, and with the domineering aura of the Lord of the Sky, it swooped down—
He was choked by Lu Yuan outside the car window.
Falcon: "Gah!"
Lu Yuan put the eagle on the window lattice: "Stand there, don't come in."
The falcon folded its wings and squeezed against the narrow window of the car aggrievedly.
Meng Qianqian quickly opened her purse, took out a piece of dried meat and fed it: "Did you not go to Miao Xinjiang, or have you returned from Miao Xinjiang?"
The falcon silently stretched out its talons and swished against the wall of the carriage, swishing away the small bamboo tube tied to its legs by King Miao.
Don’t send letters that make your head fall off your mind!
A little stuck, scratching my head! Ask Zhang Feifei for the Falcon!
