The dark night was as if boundless thick ink was smearing heavily on the sky.

Fu Jingen walked out of the house when she was tired of reading books.

The courtyard was deep, and I could only look at the few thin stars falling. The night was as heavy as his mood.

Jiang Fangfei said, "Master, we have everything packed up and we will be able to set off early tomorrow morning."

When I came, I didn’t bring anything except food. When I went back, I had a lot more stuff.

Fu Jingen nodded.

As he was talking, he heard the knock on the door, Jiang Fangfei shouted: "Huzi, go and open the door."

Hu Zi trotted over to open the door, and then welcomed Chen Shaozhou in.

Chen Shaozhou handed Fu Jingen a square box and said, "Thank you for your hard work during this period, this is my little intention."

Fu Jingen did not refuse, nodded and asked, "When are you going to Pingzhou?"

Chen Shaozhou said, "When your aunt's health is well, we will go to Pingzhou. As for the kidnapping of Master Guan, I will have someone investigate it secretly."

He must find out the person who framed him and kidnapped Guan Ge'er.

"By the way, Jingen, there will be a sea boat going to Tianjin the next day. Do you want to take a boat back?"

Fu Jingen shook his head and said, "No, we will ride back tomorrow."

The dangers at sea are unpredictable. Once they encounter bad weather such as hurricanes or big waves, they will be a life-threatening death. His beautiful life has just begun, so he would rather work harder than take a boat.

Chen Shaozhou didn't persuade him anymore. He had long seen that Fu Jingen was a person with a particularly positive idea and that the decision would not be changed easily.

Fu Jingen pulled out a piece of paper from the desk and said, "This is something my follower found, it should be helpful to you."

Chen Shaozhou took it and saw the name on the paper shrinking: "What did Zhang Xiaohai do?"

Zhang Xiaohai is Ho Ying-hang's confidant entourage.

Fu Jingen said: "From the time when the old lady took Guan Ge'er to the garden to the big grandma discovering that the child was missing, this was the only one Zhang Xiaohai who carried a box out."

"Box, what box?"

After saying that, Fu Jingen pointed to the square box that Shen Shaozhou placed on the table: "It is no problem to put Guan Ge'er in a box that is more than twice as big as this box. And he did not go through the main gate at that time, but went out from the corner gate. Later, Guan Ge'er disappeared, and the old man Ying, who was guarding the corner gate, muttered to her wife that Zhang Xiaohai looked a little difficult when he was holding the box."

Chen Shaozhou's expression changed drastically: "You mean, Brother Guan was hidden in that box by him?"

Fu Jingen did not answer his question, but continued: "Mrs. Huo hit the gate guarding the gate and the two corner gates with a heavy thirty board. Old man Ying was beaten thirty times when he was old, and he was taken back and died."

This news was dug up by Lao Ba at a high price from Old Man Ying.

The reason why Old Man Ying’s wife told the news was that she was for money and for the Huo family.

Chen Shaozhou's face turned pale. The Huo family must have not told Chen Tao about this, otherwise he would not have mentioned anything to him. Mrs. Huo did not tell Chen Tao without telling her, which shows that this matter has nothing to do with Zhuo Yinghang.

As if he knew what he was thinking, Fu Jingen said: "I found out that Zhuo Yinghang lost more than 50,000 taels of silver in the gambling house."

Chen Shaozhou's face changed drastically: "Have you lost so much?"

Fu Jingen sneered: "A person is stupid and has a lot of money, so who else does not do him?"

If he had such a fat sheep, he would have to set up a plan, but from this incident, it can be seen that the Huo family has done it in the middle of the strong, otherwise the gambling house would not dare to plot against Zhuo Yinghang like this.

Although he determined that the person who kidnapped Guan Ge'er was Zhuo Yinghang, he still had to say the scene: "This is just my guess. As for whether he kidnapped this, you have to verify it yourself."

Chen Shaozhou's eyes at Fu Jingen changed suddenly. He knew that Fu Jingen had outstanding abilities, but he didn't expect that the other party was even better than he expected. However, he found so many things in two days, and his son still believed that his enemy had kidnapped Guan Ge'er. The gap is really a world.

Fu Jingnen said lightly: "Before leaving Beijing, the old lady gave me 20,000 taels of silver. I have spent about 4,000 taels from leaving Beijing until now. If you are tight, I can give you the remaining money."

Thinking about the old lady of the Lu family comparing Mrs. Gu, Chen Shaozhou is really mixed: "No, you can bring this money back to Beijing and return it to the old lady."

Fu Jingen nodded and said lightly: "It's nothing, I'm going into the house to read a book."

Chen Shaozhou nodded and went back.

Jiang Fangfei opened the box and was surprised to see what was inside: "Master, what is this?"

Seeing the thing in the box, Fu Jingen's expression moved slightly, it turned out to be a flintlock rifle.

In fact, the night before coming to Fuzhou, Qingshu wanted to give him the treasured flintlock rifle, but Fu Jingen refused. He felt that Qingshu needed the gun to protect him even more.

Jiang Fangfei was overjoyed when he heard this and took out the flintlock rifle: "I have only heard of this thing, and this is the first time I have seen it."

After watching, Jiang Fangfei said with gratitude: "Fortunately, those pirates did not carry flintlock guns that day, otherwise we would be in danger."

Fu Jingen said: "Although this flintlock rifle is powerful, it also has a huge weakness. It needs to change gunpowder after a shot is fired. The time between the arrows is enough for me to shoot the pirate in the opposite direction."

This thing is expensive, and even if the pirate has it, it can only be in the hands of a few leaders. And because of its weaknesses, he doesn't feel afraid.

After Chen Shaozhou returned, his face was gloomy and terrible.

Gu Xian looked at something wrong and sat up and asked, "What's wrong with this? Her face looks so ugly?"

Chen Shaozhou shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Gu Xian knew that he was going to find Fu Jingen, and smiled bitterly: "I have indeed owe a lot to Qingshu over the years, but it has nothing to do with you, and he shouldn't take your anger."

She now understands why Fu Jingen has a bad attitude towards her, and he is retorting for Qingshu again.

Chen Shaozhou shook his head and said, "No, what he said has nothing to do with Qingshu."

Now Gu Xian didn't understand: "What is that?"

Chen Shaozhou sighed heavily and said, "This matter is quite complicated, and it is hard to explain it in just one or two sentences."

Afraid that Gu Xian asked again, Chen Shaozhou said, "I'll tell you later in a few days."

Gu Xian is not a person who can hide his words. If she tells her, she will know that she is afraid that her daughter-in-law will be the next day.

Although some things were found, these were not enough to conclude that Guan Ge'er's kidnapping was planned by Zhuo Yinghang. Only when the evidence was conclusive could he go to the Huo family to ask for an explanation.

Thinking of this, his heart was sank. If Zhuo Yinghang did this, Chen Tao and Huo Zhenzhu would never stay in Fuzhou.

Gu Xian thought for a while and said, "Shaozhou, don't think too much. After so many things, our family is safe and sound. I think it is God's love."
