I want to do research even if I have no money

Depth of Field rushes to Ji Lao's tiled house. Although Ji Lao has returned, he still insists on living in the simple house near Chengning Villa.

Jing Shen remembered that the day before Situ Meng disappeared, he had told him who he wanted to meet with Ji Lao.Facts also proved what he thought, Ji Lao really saw Situ Meng before he disappeared.

"That day he went to the Royal Fireworks Factory with me, and discussed the shipyard with the chairman and the others. Later, we chatted happily. Seeing that it was getting late, Mr. Situ went back first."

"Did he say where he was going? Did something unusual happen?" Jing Shen asked anxiously.

"I didn't say where he was going specifically, but judging by his appearance at the time, he should go back to the manor."

Elder Ji recalled what happened that day. He had a long chat with President Gao and Song Kaiji that day. Situ Meng had already left at that time, and they did not see Situ Meng when they left the factory.

"Mr. Situ is doing as usual. At least from the old man's point of view, he didn't show any abnormalities. He was supposed to rest and take a bath that day, but he came out with the president to connect the court with the fleet..."

No matter how many details, Elder Ji can't remember. He has been with Situ Meng for a long time. Everyone knows that he is a fire mechanism madman who can try not to go out if he can't go out. He always likes to lock himself in the room to study those strange things. Weird fire mechanism.

Except for those small surprises and romances in the depth of field, Situ Meng's life is almost back and forth between three points--the fire mechanism department, the fire mechanism factory, and Chengning Villa.It was hard to imagine that he would spontaneously want to go somewhere.

The scene of this matter is also clear. Situ Meng is a person with a very simple life. He is very responsible and never makes people worry about him. How can such a person leave without leaving anything?

The depth of field is almost completely certain that Situ Meng's disappearance was not of his own will, but was robbed by some forces.But which side is it, and how did the other side take Situ Meng away?

"Welcome to Prince Gong!" The captain of the imperial guards was in a state of desperation because of Situ Meng's disappearance, but he was notified by his subordinates that Prince Gong had come to the mansion. When he heard it, he was sweating profusely. What the arrival means, even a fool can guess.

"Why are you here at this time?" The captain muttered to his subordinates, while walking quickly towards the gate, "His Highness came here at this time, probably looking for trouble! What's going on? We have tens of thousands of guards , why can't you even look down on the secretary of the fire agency?!"

"This... There is no way to do this. Who would have thought that Master Situ could get lost in the imperial city?" His subordinates were also helpless. The duty of their bodyguards was to guard the imperial city and the royal family. What about the official trail?

"Master Yan," Jing Shen was already sitting in the main hall, holding a teacup in one hand, putting aside the tea leaves with the white porcelain lid in the other hand, and taking a sip of tea slowly, "The king of Ben came here today for just one thing. Two people."

Captain Yan bowed to Jingshen, but he didn't dare to sit down, he just lowered his head and stared at his toes like a piece of wood, "Your Highness, please order, I will do my best!"

"It's not a big deal, Mr. Yan doesn't have to be so careful." After Jing Chun's few punches, Jing Shen has already sobered up a lot, impulsiveness can't solve the problem, he should have understood this truth a long time ago, and now he just woke up, I just hope it's not too much Night.

Ji Lao's words inspired him, there are thousands of clues, there is always a place to start, as long as you catch that clue, and then follow it to find the thread, everything will be solved.

"How will the security of the Royal Fire Organ Factory be allocated?" Jing Shen asked, looking down at the tea leaves standing at the bottom of the cup.

"Three shifts a day, patrolling the front door, back door, and inside the factory, a total of 120 people, take turns every four hours, and during the half hour of the shift shift, the two shift guards will be on guard together to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the shift. Let's do it."

Jing Shen let out a "hmm", pondered for a moment, and said: "This handover method is good, and it prevents someone from taking advantage of the weak handover defense... Let me ask you again, how many people are usually guarding the main entrance of the fire mechanism factory?"

"Returning to Your Highness, there are four people in total. Two are outside the door, and two are inside the door. If you add the patrol personnel in the factory, there are at least ten people!"

"That is to say, there are two guards guarding the gate of the factory?"

"Yes."

"Five days ago, that is, the eighth day of the lunar new year, who was on duty outside the main gate in the afternoon?"

"Those two people happened to be taking a rest today... Your servant will call them here!"

Jing Shen was still sitting in the top position, he watched Captain Yan order people to go out, and after a while, two tall and strong youths dressed as civilians appeared in the main hall.

"You are the guards who were on duty at the gate of the factory that day, right?"

"Return to the lord, that's right!" The two guards were only [-] years old, not much older than Jing Shen, but they were so suppressed that they couldn't hold their heads up in front of Jing Shen's coercion.

"Relax, I just want to ask you a few questions." As a royal family with half military blood, Jing Shen understands the hardships of these soldiers and guards better, and speaks lightly. The burden of the city guards is not light at all.

"I ask, you answer, just say what comes to mind, don't be afraid." Jing Shen said.

"Five days ago, that is, the eighth day of the lunar new year, the two of you were on duty at the gate of the Royal Fire Organ Factory, right?"

"Yes!"

"In the evening, did you see Situ Meng appear from the main entrance?"

"Yes," said one of the guards, "I remember, Sir Situ came out of the fire mechanism factory alone that day, and no one else was around." About this question, they have been asked countless times by different people, and they just closed their eyes. The eyes can also describe it.

Jing Shen pondered for a moment, and asked, "Where did he go after he came out of the gate? Did he talk to anyone else?"

The two guards fell into memories, recalling the situation at that time, and said slowly: "After Mr. Situ came out of the door, he first stood on the street in front of the door for a while, stretched himself, and then a child came over. , and said a few words to him, Master Situ smiled and left."

"Child?" Jing Shen heard a clue that he had never heard before, and was agitated for a while, but was quickly suppressed by him, "What kind of child is it?"

"Return to Your Highness," said the guard. "The child is an orphan. His parents passed away while fleeing. He came to the south of the Yangtze River alone with a large army. He usually wanders around the factory. There are vendors in the market and adults in the factory. We occasionally buy some food with him, and he also helps with errands. Everyone in our neighborhood knows him, and he is a very good boy. It's a pity that his parents left early."

Jing Shen thought for a while, and said to Captain Yan: "Call that kid over here."

The child was all dirty, like a little beggar, and he was a little beggar.Barefoot, he stood somewhat restrained in the clean and spacious hall, shaking his head, not daring to look at the handsome young man seated above him.

The depth of field is looking at this poor child, he is like all the children of relatives who died in exile, without the support of the family, he hangs around the market and other lively places all day long, in order to survive, they work for others and run errands for others , no matter how dirty or hard work they will accept, just because they want to live, they want to live.

Captain Yan listened to Jing Shen's order and took a few meat buns from the kitchen, which were left over from their breakfast today, and they still had some residual warmth.

"Son, don't be afraid, come, these buns are for you."

The child took a quick look at Jing Shen, wiped his hands on the dirty trousers—even though it didn't make any sense, and carefully took the oiled paper package that Captain Yan handed over, "Thank you."

"Give him a cup of tea, don't be too hot... You come here, sit and eat, and we'll talk slowly after we're done, there's no rush."

The child looked at this handsome young man in a foolish way. He didn't know about Jing Shen's background. He only knew from his intuition that he was a very powerful person. He remembered Jing Shen's face. A gentle and good-looking adult, and then the two went home together.

Home... the word is out of reach for him, he has already lost his relatives and his home.But the people here are very friendly, they will not dislike his dirty appearance, they always use various methods so that he can have a bite of food.

He was grateful to the people here, so he always did what they told him to do—errands or other errands—to the best of his abilities.

Seeing that the child was almost finished eating, Jing Shen only opened his mouth, and he asked as gently as possible: "Five days ago, did you go to the fire mechanism factory?"

Without even thinking about it, the child said, "Back to my lord, I...caomin went there! I ran into an adult at the factory gate the other day, and he asked me to give a message to that gentle and good-looking big brother. Big Brother, go to the Wind and Rain Pavilion on the outskirts of the city!"

"A very gentle and good-looking big brother?"

"Yeah! That big brother looks really good-looking! I... Caomin saw you waiting for him at the factory gate, and you gave me... Caomin bought wontons to eat!"

The child said the ridiculous honorifics childishly, but even so, he still tried his best to recall the events of that day.Looking at his ragged clothes, Jing Shen finally recalled his memories. Several times when he was waiting for Situ Meng at the door, he saw the kid begging on the opposite side of the street. Situ Meng also bought a bowl of wontons for this boy with him. Child.

Jing Shen unconsciously clasped his right hand rhythmically on the armrest of the wooden chair, and murmured: "Who is the Wind and Rain Pavilion on the outskirts of the city?"

"Do you still remember the person who asked you to talk?"

"Remember!" said the child, "He has a new face. I... Caomin saw him for the first time, so of course I remember his appearance!"

"Very good." As Jing Shen said, he snapped his fingers, and Gong Juren appeared out of nowhere, knelt down on one knee, "Young Master!"

"Describe that person's appearance," Jing Shen said to Gong Juren with his head bowed, "You draw it as he said."

The child's memory is very good. Even though it was the first time he met someone, he still remembered the other person's face. Following his description, Gong Juren traced it on the paper, and gradually, the other person's appearance became clearer.

"It's the Beiyuan Xizuo who escaped," Jing Shen frowned, "I didn't expect him to stay in Yangzhou, right under our noses, and kidnap Amon."

It is a fact that Beiyuan secretly abducted Situ Meng, but why was Situ Meng obediently deceived by him and thrown into the trap just by one word?

Can't figure it out, really can't figure it out... Depth of Field held his head with one hand, waved his hand, and asked someone to take the child away.

The child followed Captain Yan, looked down at the tall shadow on the ground, and asked timidly, "Master Captain, did I do something wrong?"

Captain Yan paused, and finally took the child back to the market near the fire mechanism factory in silence.

Returning to the original place again, the child looked at the gate of the closed factory not far away, his two small black hands were stirring uncomfortably, "I must have done something wrong, but what is it... Speaking of which, I haven't seen that gentle big brother these days, where did he go?"
