Chapter 15 Behind the Buddha Statue
"Miss Su?"

"Brother Fu!"

Su Yi cried and knelt on the ground, sobbing in a low voice.

"Sister was kidnapped!"

For a moment, Fu Zhuo only felt a roar in his mind.

Zitang called him "county son-in-law" several times before he helped Su Yi up and quickly calmed down.

Ji Zui and his colleagues asked with concern. He asked them to go to the restaurant first on the grounds that he had something to do at home, and he left with Su Yi Zitang.

The county lord was taken captive by thieves, and before the situation became clear, it was a major event that shocked one party.Reporting to the official can naturally solve it, but it will only hurt Jin Changying's life.

He wants her back intact.

"what is the problem?"

"I went to buy a lantern for my sister, and suddenly" Su Yi suddenly lost his voice.

Brother Fu is not her trusted sister, she was originally an assassin supported by the Han family, and she was saved by Jin Changying because she came out alone to explore the way to Yuewangfu.

Brother Fu is the adopted son of King Yue.

He might not spare his own life like his sister did.

"Suddenly what?"

With tears in his eyes, Su Yi stammered and said, "I just saw a... a man wearing the same clothes as Brother Fu was talking to the lantern seller. I didn't hear clearly, and they suddenly chased me and wanted to arrest me. After my sister sent me into the house, she disappeared."

The little girl kept crying, and Fu Zhuo knew that there was nothing more to ask, so he asked Zitang to send her back to take care of her.After watching the two go away, he took off his official uniform, leaving only a black robe, went out through the other side door, and disappeared into the street.

At noon, Nancheng, Stone Buddha Temple.

The entire imperial capital, the imperial city and the East and West City are on the north side of the entire imperial capital, and the residences of officials are also guarded around it.The southern city was too far away from the emperor, and the management was neglected. The district was so deserted that only fields were left. Apart from the poor and the poor, there were only some rascals left.

Fu Zhuo only had a simple black knife left in his body, and the one given by Jin Changying was placed in the Wei Mansion together with his official robe. The red knife was too eye-catching, so it was not suitable to be brought here.

He pushed open the dilapidated wooden door, and the Buddha statue covered in cobwebs and dust appeared in front of him.The Buddha statue is tall and occupies most of the house.He approached and looked up, the stone Buddha's eyes were colorless and frighteningly empty.

He closed the door, took out the scythe from the pouch, and lit the oil lamp enshrined on the table.

There was a glimmer of light in the room, and the plywood under his feet showed a little outline. Fu Zhuo took off his knife and pried it open along the gap, revealing a thin slit in the middle of the iron block embedded underneath.

He grabbed a handful of copper coins from his pouch and threw them down one by one.After throwing about ten pieces, there was a sound behind the Buddha statue.

"Captain Fu?"

An old man in ragged clothes came out from behind the Buddha statue, and he was shocked when he saw it, "Aren't you working on an errand today? Why are you free?"

"I need your help with something urgent." He threw a flying shuttle on the ground, which he picked up from the back door of Cuihexuan before he came. Probably with a Jinwu guard officer and a lantern vendor in the West Market, they kidnapped a woman."

"You have provided quite complete clues, which is easy to handle, and we will wait for a while."

The man picked up the flying shuttle, cupped his hands, and disappeared behind the Buddha statue.

Not long after, there was a movement of the plywood under his feet. He squatted down, and saw a wooden sign in the middle of the iron crack, and wrote: Nancheng Da'anfang Qingbai Bookstore.

Without hesitation, Fu Zhuo quickly left the Stone Buddha Temple.

Looking at the pitch-black ceiling, Jin Yuanjun heard footsteps leaving in a hurry.

She had just written a sign for the man who came to inquire, and there was only a dim light in the dark basement, shining through the smoke, illuminating the undried ink stains in her hand.

"Why did you only charge ten coins?" She asked the old man who had just gone out to receive him.

The old man was about to speak when the half-old woman holding a pipe and puffing away said quietly, "Sister, you are only new here. I don't know the rules here. Captain Fu is the gatekeeper of our gang in the imperial capital, so you can't accept it!" It’s about money. Taking ten coins is already meaningful, and most people can get at least five hundred coins to start.”

"Lieutenant Fu!" Jin Yuanjun was startled, and seemed to have no intention of asking.

The half-old woman glanced at her, as if she felt that the woman talked too much.

Mr. Jin Yuan was sensible, lowered his head humbly, and stopped making a sound.

It seemed to have seen through her thoughts: "If you are afraid, just leave, but if you dare to reveal a word about the affairs here, even if you are the daughter of a high-ranking family, we can make you die quietly. No sound."

The half-old woman was wearing bright makeup and dressed in a philistine and tacky way. A pair of wrinkled eyes stared at her coldly.

Jin Yuanjun blessed his body, obediently resigned, and left the basement under the watchful eyes of the woman.

The next moment, she went straight through the intricate routes and walked towards the ground.

She remembered every road she had traveled. If that Captain Fu was really her brother-in-law Fu Zhuo, then what she did underground would be discovered sooner or later.

The light in front of her eyes became brighter and brighter. She climbed out of the exit and walked out of the abandoned house, but a black horse drove towards her. She was stunned for a moment and forgot to avoid it.

The horse driver barely brushed past her, she accidentally fell down, and the gauze hat that covered her face fell off.

Immediately, people quickly came down to help her up, but she hurriedly avoided.

"Third siblings?" Fu Zhuo was startled, "Why are you here?"

Jin Yuanjun hurriedly put on the gauze hat: "You have identified the wrong person." As he said that, he was about to leave.

But Fu Zhuo had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and quickly grabbed her wrist, "You came at the right time, don't worry, I won't ask you why you came here. The county master was captured by thieves not long ago, and now he is under the Qingbai Bookstore in Da'anfang. I am alone It is difficult to protect the county master, and we cannot tell outsiders about this matter without authorization. Since you are here, please quickly go and ask General Jin to bring people to respond!"

A few days ago, when General Jin returned to the mansion, he and Jin Changying made a special trip to visit, and he thought he was still at the mansion at this time.

There was unprecedented urgency and anxiety on his indifferent face, which made Jin Yuanjun feel a prickly pain in his heart.

She didn't understand why Jin Changying, a sister of the same clan, was so lucky.She has a noble status and is favored by her father, even though she has been widowed for three times and married Fu Zhuo whose background is far inferior to that of Fu Bingqing, why can she still meet a husband who acts so considerately of her?
Hadn't he even been moved by her kindness and helping hand under her domineering appearance?
So sister, why.
Jin Yuanjun closed his eyes and clenched his fists.

"Captain Fu, you are my brother-in-law, please let go."

"Since you still know that I am your brother-in-law, then go to the general's mansion quickly, and let General Jin bring someone to rescue your sister quickly."

"Why should I go?" she asked coldly.

"She is your own sister!"

Jin Yuanjun raised his head and looked at him blankly.

Fu Zhuo took a deep breath, trying to calm down the surging anger, "I'll leave the horse to you. If you still miss the county magistrate's friendship with you, then let General Jin bring someone over."

He finished speaking with his back to Jin Yuanjun, and left quickly without waiting for the other party's reply.

Jin Yuanjun was touched for a moment, and when he was about to act, he remembered what he saw just now when he was writing a sign in the basement.

"Xue Xu, Xue Xu, Xue" she murmured.
