Chapter 58: Yu Ruyi's Hint

  It's hard to figure out what to do, so everyone can only wait until they catch up with Nian Feng and then talk about it.

  After leaving the county government, Wen Meng Li immediately went to the Wen Mansion and asked his father, Wen Yi Dao, to mobilize the power of Jianghu to help find Nian Feng. She believed that as long as Nian Feng had not left Jiangnan, they would definitely be able to find him.

  The murder case happened last night and Nian Feng started fleeing only last night. He probably hasn't even left Tianchang County yet.

  After such a handover, Wen Meng hurried back, and Wen Yidao saw her like this, and could only sigh, "A girl is not allowed to stay!"

  After returning to the Flower Gentleman Detective Agency, there was no news for a whole day. Bao Zheng sent an officer to ask twice, and from that officer's mouth, Hualang also learned something about Bao Zheng's gains.

  Unfortunately, there is still no news about Nian Feng.

  The day passed like this, and the next morning, before Huā Láng and others got up, someone came to call. Huā Láng opened the door and took a look, it was the county yamen's bailiff. The bailiff looked very mysterious and said: "Young Master Huā, our master invites you to come to the county yamen for a chat."

  "Only inviting me alone?"

  "Miss Wen and they can also go."

  The flower gentleman nodded, then let the bailiff go back first. After they washed up, they all hurried to the county government office. They didn't understand why Bao Zheng found them so early, was it that they had caught Nian Feng or had a clue about Nian Feng?

  After arriving at the county government office, they found out that it was Bao Zheng who had summoned them and had nothing to do with Nian Feng.

  Hua Lang, they have arrived. Bao Gong ordered a yamen to bring over a box. Hua Lang opened the box with some doubt and found that it was filled with a jade Ruyi, which had a good luster. Judging from its appearance, it must be worth a fortune.

  Thinking of the value of the jade pendant, Hua Lang suddenly thought of Yu Fu's Jade Ruyi. He looked up at Bao Zheng and asked: "Where did this jade pendant come from?"

  Bao Zheng also looked puzzled and said: "Early this morning, when the county government gate was opened, a box was found outside the door. The doorman brought it in and took a look, and found that it was a jade Ruyi. I remembered what you told me about Yu Fu's jade Ruyi being stolen, and thought it might be related to this case, so I sent someone to call you over."

  The Flower Boy held the jade Ruyi, but didn't know what the thief meant. At this time, Wen Meng smiled and said: "It must be that the thief was afraid, so he put the jade Ruyi at the gate of the government office, wanting to escape punishment."

  Wen Meng finished speaking, Yin Wu shook his head: "This doesn't make sense. What kind of place is the county government? If that thief really wanted to escape punishment, wouldn't it be easier to just put the jade Ruyi in the Yu residence? Wouldn't that thief also be an insider?"

  After listening to the two of them, Hua Wanyi nodded repeatedly: "Yin Ge said it's right, the thief is an insider, and it would be easier to put the Jade Ruyi in Yu Fu, he shouldn't be foolish enough to risk putting it in the county government."

  "Now that thief has actually put the Jade Ruyi in the county yamen!" Wen Meng said with a somewhat rascal-like tone, seeing that Yin Wuchang and Hua Yu'er both disagreed with him.

  Everyone was discussing like this, but Hua Lang didn't say a word. After a long time, Bao Gong asked: "Hua brothers, what do you think?"

  Hualang smiled faintly: "I don't have much insight, but there's one thing I don't understand. If the thief stole the jade ruyi for money, even if it was very dangerous, he wouldn't be willing to take it out again. But now the thief has taken out the jade ruyi, doesn't everyone think it's strange?"

  Bao Zheng nodded slightly: "What Brother Hua means is that the thief who stole the jade Ruyi's original intention was not for money, but had another purpose?"

  Hualang nodded: "Indeed, there is such a possibility. But if the thief wasn't after money, then what was he after?"

  At this time, Wen Meng suddenly said: "I understand, the thief is not for money. What's not put in a place, but the jade Ruyi was placed at the entrance of the county government office. It seems that he has grievances and wants to use the jade Ruyi to hint at it. Didn't Hu Lang say that he thought Yu Fu didn't want to disturb the officials because of the jade Ruyi?"

  After hearing Wen Meng's words, everyone suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. Hua Lang nodded in agreement: "That's right, it's indeed possible that Yu Fu doesn't want the theft of the Jade Like Intent to disturb the authorities, and yet he's willing to pay 100 taels of silver himself rather than let me intervene again. It seems that this Jade Like Intent must have some background, with a secret, and this secret is likely to be an unjust case."

  Everyone was silent for a long time, and for a moment, no one knew what this injustice case was all about.

  Bao Zheng said, "Since the case involves the Jade Token of Intent, I'd rather send someone to thoroughly investigate the case files and see if there's any mention of the Jade Token of Intent. Meanwhile, you should investigate Yu Fu and find out how he obtained this token and why he hid it without telling anyone."

  Everyone nodded in agreement, and then Flower Lad and his companions left the county yamen.

  When they left the county government, the temperature was already very high. Walking on the street was scorching hot. Just as they were walking on the street preparing to go home, a person suddenly rushed over from the side of the street. After rushing over, he said mysteriously: "Flower Master, I have the latest news, do you want it?"

  Hualang saw that the newcomer was Ali, and smiled: "Of course, there's something I want to tell you, let's talk about it when we get home."

  The Flower Gentleman Detective Agency was originally very close to the county government office. After arriving home, Hua Lang immediately asked: "What did you find at Yu Fu?"

  Ali smiled faintly and said, "Boss Yu has been searching for the Jade Ruyi everywhere recently. Yesterday, his daughter was killed, and he became even more frantic in his search for the Jade Ruyi, specifically in Yuting's room. I suspect that Boss Yu thinks the thief who stole the Jade Ruyi might be his own daughter, and that his daughter Yuting was killed because of the Jade Ruyi."

  At this point, Hua Lang and the others could think of it, and Yu Fu could also think of it. If he thought that Yu Ruo had stolen the jade pendant and given it to Nian Feng, then he should have searched Yu Tingting's room.

  If Yu Fu really thought so, then he should have known that the Jade Ruyi was already in Year Feng's hands. Why did he search all over Yu Tingting's room? Did he not believe that Yu Tingting had stolen the Jade Ruyi? Was there another purpose for him to go to Yu Tingting's room?

  After giving Ali a few silver coins, Hualang let him go and instructed him that if there was any new information, he must come to the detective agency to report.

  Ali agreed and left with a smile, holding one or two silver coins.

  Everyone was confused about what Yu Fu was looking for in Yu Tingting's room, and finally had to give up. The only thing that could be done was to wait for news, Bao Quan's news, Wen Yidao's news, Nian Feng's news, and Yu Fuyu Ruyi's news.

  After noon, there was finally news from Wen Yidao's side that they had found Nianfeng's trail.
