With a chopper on his waist, an arrow box in his hand and a big black umbrella on his back, Ning Que left the Old Brush Pen Shop and came to the street to start his journey to find Sangsang.
The first stop was the fake antique shop owned by Wu Laoer next door. He pushed the door open and asked directly, "Aunt Wu, have you seen my Sangsang?"
The Old Brush Pen Shop was now a legendary shop on Lin 47th Street. Many people knew that the shop was not a simple place because of the stories in the past year. Seeing Ning Que's expression, Aunt Wu felt a little scared. She shook her head and said, "No, I haven't seen her."
Ning Que turned around and left without any hesitation.
Then he came to a gambling house in West City and directly found Mr. Qi, the leader of the Fish-dragon Gang.
"Have you seen my Sangsang?"
Mr. Qi said with a slightly strange expression, "I saw her when I sent the banknotes a few days ago. But I haven't seen her these days. What happened to Sangsang?"
Ning Que slightly frowned and asked, "What happened to her before?"
Mr. Qi said, "Before you came back, she was asked by the Chang 'an Local Government once. No one knew what case she was involved in. It was the military that directly took action. I failed to stop it. But you don't have to worry too much. Sangsang was not bullied and came out on the same day. Maybe the Academy sent a message?"
Ning Que didn't know about this. After a moment of silence, he thought it was more important to find her first. He looked at Mr. Qi and said seriously, "Ask the gang to look for her in Chang 'an City. I owe you one."
Mr. Qi said, "Don't worry. As long as she is still in Chang 'an City, I will definitely find her."
Ning Que was a little relieved. He thought that the Fish-dragon Gang was the biggest gang in Chang 'an City and had the backing of the government. There were countless members in the gang, and they were densely scattered in the streets. No matter where Sangsang hid, he would definitely find her. But then he thought that it had been a long time since the morning. What if Sangsang had left Chang' an City?
So he went to the palace.
"Seal the city gate of Chang 'an City? Ning Que, are you crazy? Even the prime minister wouldn't dare to do such a thing. Even if you kill me, I can't do anything about it. I don't have that power, and I don't want His Majesty to think that I'm plotting a rebellion! "
Xu Chongshan, the Deputy Commander of the bodyguards, was about to continue scolding Ning Que, who was lowering his head. However, he was deterred by Ning Que's murderous aura and hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry. I'll send a letter to the Chang 'an Local Government to find him for you. Is that okay?"
Ning Que looked up at him and said, "The Chang 'an Local Government doesn't have enough people. Can you help me issue an arrest warrant?"
Xu Chongshan gasped. He could tell that Ning Que was about to go crazy today, so he did not dare to refuse directly. He explained in a low voice, "Your little handmaiden did not commit any crime. How could the Ministry of Penalty issue an arrest warrant?"
Ning Que took out a small portrait from his arms and put it on his chest. He said, "I'll report it now and say that she stole more than ten thousand taels of silver from the master's house. This should be enough for the Ministry of Penalty to issue an arrest warrant, right?"
Xu Chongshan took the portrait and looked at it. He thought that Ning Que's drawing skills were much worse than his writing skills. When he was about to say something, he looked up and saw that Ning Que had already walked out of the imperial city. He could not help but sigh.
Looking at the back of Ning Que who was full of murderous aura, Xu Chongshan sighed and shook his head. He thought that if anyone in Chang 'an saw Ning Que in such a state of mind, that person would be courting death. Then he suddenly thought of a rumor in the imperial court and hurriedly chased after Ning Que. However, Ning Que was too fast and disappeared in an instant. No one knew where he had gone.
…
…
After the imperial court and the Fish-dragon Gang blocked Sangsang's escape route, Ning Que continued his search in Chang 'an. He went to the morning market in the south of the city, to Chenjinji Cosmetics Store, to the Building of Pines and Cranes, and to the House of Red Sleeves, but he still could not find Sangsang. However, everyone who saw him was stunned by the murderous aura of his weapons. It seemed that the murderous aura was about to tear the whole city apart.
Finally, he went to the Princess Mansion and heard the answer he wanted to hear from Li Yu. However, the answer was completely out of his expectation, so he was at a loss for what to do.
Ning Que looked at Li Yu and asked, "Why didn't I know about this?"
Li Yu looked at him and said sarcastically, "Maybe it's because someone has been busy spending time with the Calligraphy Addict in Chang 'an these days and has no time to care about what happened to his little handmaiden."
Ning Que looked at her and asked seriously, "Your Highness, are you mocking me?"
"No." Li Yu looked at him and said coldly, "I am mocking you."
Ning Que asked, "Why?"
Li Yu answered, "Because Sangsang is my friend."
After a moment of silence, Ning Que said, "I see."
…
…
The Grand Secretary's Mansion of the Imperial Library was quiet today. The atmosphere in the study room was especially tense and oppressive. The source of all this tension was Ning Que, who was standing in the study room. It came from his expressionless face and the dangerous aura he exuded.
Zeng Jing, the Grand Secretary, had already given up his seat and the housekeeper had already served tea. However, Ning Que did not sit down because he had been sitting at the table of the Old Brush Pen Shop for a long time today. He did not drink any tea because his mouth was already very bitter, and he was not in the mood to chat at all.
Ning Que looked at the sleeping gear in the corner of the study and frowned slightly. He thought that the Grand Secretary slept in the study all year round? Didn't that mean that the relationship between the couple was not harmonious? Such a couple was not suitable for Sangsang's parents. Moreover, this matter was a little strange. Why did Sangsang suddenly have a pair of parents?
In the past ten years, he had never thought about what would happen to Sangsang after she found her biological parents. Therefore, he felt a little strange and strangely nervous now.
"First of all, I want to know if Sangsang is in your mansion." He asked.
Zeng Jing nodded and said with a smile, "Since she has recognized her, she should come back to live."
Ning Que asked directly, "You said that she is your daughter. Do you have any evidence?"
Zeng Jing said sincerely, "To be honest, I do not have any solid evidence. But as the saying goes, mother and daughter are connected. My wife remembers some of Sangsang's characteristics, and the timing matches. Therefore, I think this matter is definitely true."
Ning Que raised his head and said, "Please forgive me for not being in the mood to argue with the Grand Secretary's wife about the evidence. I only came to your mansion to do one thing, and that is to take her back."
Upon hearing this, Zeng Jing slightly frowned. He thought that although Ning Que's identity was extraordinary, he was a Grand Secretary of the imperial court. How could he allow Ning Que to be so unyielding? He said unhappily, "How can you forcibly separate your own flesh and blood? Since Sangsang is my daughter, how can she still be your maidservant? "
After a moment of silence, Ning Que said, "We can discuss this matter later. But first, shouldn't you let me see her? After all, she is still my maidservant. "
Zeng Jing frowned and said, "According to the law of the Tang Empire, it is up to the Chang 'an Local Government to decide whether she is your maidservant or not."
Ning Que looked at him and said, "Your Excellency, you'd better not forget that I am the head of the household. As long as I don't agree, no one can move her out. And if you have no evidence, I will still win the lawsuit in the Chang 'an Local Government."
Zeng Jing frowned even more. Before he had time to respond, the Grand Secretary's wife, who had been waiting beside him with a smile on her face and suppressed her anger, broke out in advance. She angrily rushed to Ning Que, pointed at his nose and scolded, "You are such an unscrupulous master. How can you let my daughter be your maidservant? Don't even think about it. Go to the Chang 'an Local Government for a lawsuit? My master is the Grand Secretary of the Imperial Library. He can just write a letter to the Imperial Library. Do you think that ugly Shangguan would dare to give my daughter back to you? "
Ning Que was already at a loss when he heard that Sangsang suddenly had another biological parent. He had some unspeakable fear in his heart. Now that he was scolded by the Grand Secretary's wife, his fear turned into anger. He looked at the woman in front of him and said in a low voice,
"Madam, you probably don't understand. I, Ning Que, am the core disciple of the Headmaster of the Academy and a student of the Second floor of the Academy. I have sat in the Imperial Study and had tea in the Princess's Mansion. If you dare to write a letter to the Chang 'an Local Government, I can ask His Majesty to write a decree to investigate whether your Excellency is corrupt or not."
Hearing this naked threat, Grand Secretary Zeng Jing suddenly changed his expression. He angrily slammed the table and stood up. He pointed at Ning Que's nose and scolded, "Young man, you are so unreasonable!"
Ning Que was not moved at all. He looked at the couple and said calmly, "The Academy teaches us to use our fists. Grand Secretary, you should understand that if you push me too hard, I will directly burn down your mansion and hide in the back of the mountain of the Academy. Where can you go to judge me then?"
At this moment, the bamboo curtain of the study moved and a thin figure walked out.
"You don't have to be afraid of him. The Princess will definitely side with me, and he can't do anything if I want to come back to live. As for the Academy, Mr. Second has promised me that he won't let him bully me. If he dares to burn down this mansion, I will complain to Mr. Second and Mr. Second will definitely burn him down. "
Sangsang walked to Mrs. Zeng and said to Ning Que expressionlessly.
Ning Que looked at her dark little face and was startled. Then he smiled with mixed emotions. He felt like he had flown out of the cliff and finally caught the pine tree. His legs suddenly became weak and he almost sat on the ground.
From early morning to now, from the Old Brush Pen Shop to the Grand Secretary's Mansion, he had gone to many places today. He was extremely nervous and exhausted, both mentally and physically. Now that he finally saw her, the nervousness and exhaustion relaxed into a feeling of collapse.
It was good to see her.
Because once he saw her, he would not be able to run away.
At this time, Ning Que finally relaxed and recalled the fear in his heart for the whole day. Thinking of that terrible feeling, he could not help but give birth to a flame-like anger, mixed with a completely inexplicable jealousy, and finally turned into countless words that gushed out.
"Not bad. You have found your biological parents and can fly now? Mr. Second? You even have a backer in the Academy. I was scolded by Lee Yu in the Princess Mansion. Do you want me to go back to the back of the mountain and be beaten by Second Brother before you can vent your anger? Tsk, tsk, you are indeed the Miss of the Grand Secretary's Mansion. You actually dare to play the trick of moving the curtain and sending the beauty. It's a pity that you are not fair enough. You are not a beauty, you are just a little person! "
His words could be said to be extremely sarcastic. Anyone who heard it would probably be angry and start a fight with him. Mrs. Zeng was so angry that she covered her chest. However, Sangsang's little face was still expressionless. She only looked at Ning Que's eyes and said very calmly, "What does it have to do with you?"
