Chapter 301: Chickens and Dogs Jump

It was already a day after Cui Yue received Zhang Nan's letter of "Another Words" and although Zhang Nan and the Mo Sect had reached a consensus, Mo Zu still asked Ada to look at it for an early morning and risked being arrested by Wu Hou who was patrolling the streets to put Zhang Nan's letter at the door of the Zhang Mansion.

The purpose is not to let Li Er catch the clues of Zhang Nan's disappearance.

When he arrived early in the morning, Lao Su opened the door of the Zhang Mansion as usual and waited to send the newspaper boy from the Datang Daily to deliver the newspaper. He forgot to say that the current delivery work of the Datang Daily has been distributed to children from poor families. Although these children cannot go to the fields to do farm work for their families, with the Datang Daily, they have found a job within their ability to subsidize their family income.

Every five copies of the Datang Daily are sold, the newspaper boy who delivers newspapers and sells newspapers part-time can get a penny.

Lao Su opened the door, stretched toward the rising sun, and glanced at him, Lao Su saw a "double carp" not far from his feet.

(From the Wei and Jin Dynasties to the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the materials of letters gradually evolved from wood to paper. The envelope was changed to two pieces of thick blue paper, and carp pictures were painted on both sides. Until the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Chinese were still imitating carp-shaped envelopes. Therefore, in ancient China, the envelope was called "double carp")

Old Su picked up the envelope curiously, but did not open the letter. Instead, he ran to the backyard to find Cui Yue's personal maid Qiu'er, and asked Qiu'er to send the letter to his wife into the room.

Lao Su naturally knew that his wife had already gotten up early. Since the day when her master disappeared, the wife has not thought about tea or food every day, and she has become much more haggard. Not to mention sleeping in, even falling asleep every day has become a problem, so Lao Su asked Qiuer to hand the letter to Cui Yue.

Qiu'er knocked on Cui Yue's door and stood outside the door and said, "Madam, Butler Su received a letter at the door. Butler Su said that you can see it, Mrs.."

When Cui Yue heard someone delivering a letter, she looked strange. Who would send a letter without any trouble? But Cui Yue thought about it and found that the letter was probably related to Zhang Nan's whereabouts, so she hurriedly said: "Hurry up, bring it in and let me see."

Qiu'er responded, then walked in and handed the letter to Cui Yue.

Cui Yue opened the envelope and immediately recognized that this was Zhang Nan's notes, not only because the handwriting of the letter was so ugly, but also because of Zhang Nan's unique writing format.

When ordinary people write letters from right to left, they write vertically downwards, only Zhang Nan writes from left to right, horizontally, and there is another unique thing in Zhang Nan's letter, called "punctuation marks".

Cui Yue knew at a glance that this thing was written by Zhang Nan, because no one except Zhang Nan would use this punctuation mark. Of course, this was what Zhang Nan said in person.

Cui Yue once forced Zhang Nan to practice calligraphy for a few days, but Zhang Nan's temperament was really uneasy and she was unwilling to practice writing. According to Zhang Nan, now that when he is at his position, there is nothing he needs to write by himself. He just needs to be able to direct.

In addition, Zhang Nan practiced calligraphy for a few days and was sent by Li Er to accompany Li Chengqian on the grassland, so the practice of calligraphy was left unresolved, but Cui Yue still remembered what Zhang Nan wrote.

When Cui Yue saw the notes from Zhang Nan, she felt uneasy and immediately let go of her uneasy heart. But it didn't matter if she relaxed. Cui Yue had not had a good rest in the past two days, and her emotions were very unstable. After the great sorrow and joy, Cui Yue could no longer hold on and fainted.

Qiu'er, who was guarding the door, heard the movement and immediately entered the room. He found Cui Yue fainted. Qiu'er quickly called a few maids to take care of Cui Yue, and she quickly ran to Cui's mansion, preparing to report the matter to Cui Shao.

Now that Zhang Nan's head of the family is gone, the wife fainted again. The only father-in-law Cui Shao is the only father-in-law who can be the leader of the Zhang family.

When Qiu'er ran to Cui'er's residence, Cui Shao had just left the house and was about to go to the morning court. The morning court time of the Tang Dynasty was completely based on the sun. The "New Book of Tang" records that "the bachelors entered the office and often regarded the sun as the wait." It is winter now, and the sun comes out relatively late, so when Qiu'er just ran to Cui'er's residence, Cui Shao had just left the house to go to the court.

"Master, Master is not good." Qiu'er ran to Cui Shao panting. Cui Shao naturally recognized Qiu'er, the close maid who had been with Cui Yue. Seeing Qiu'er's panic and unconventional look, Cui Shao frowned and said, "What's wrong? Tell me slowly if you have something to do, don't panic."

Cui Shao has been in a very bad mood these days. His son-in-law has been kidnapped, and his daughter is not in good spirits all day long. His wife is also worried that her son-in-law and daughter's health will make her health worse. Cui Shao is running around for Zhang Nan every day, and her whole temper can be better.

According to Cui Shao's understanding, Zhang Nan's kidnapping this time was a completely premeditated and planned action against them, Cui.

"Miss, Miss, she received a letter from her house this morning. After reading it, the lady fainted." Qiu'er slowly breathed and said.

As soon as he heard that Cui Yue fainted and read a letter, Cui Shao immediately thought of the letter that was not right. Now the Zhang family has received another letter, and his daughter fainted after reading the letter. It must be something that happened to his son-in-law.

Thinking of this, Cui Shao said to the servants beside him: "You go to Lord Wang and ask him to take a leave for me. He said that something happened in the mansion and that there was no way to go to the morning court today. I would like to ask the emperor to forgive me." After that, Cui Shao turned his head and rode his horse to Zhang Nan's mansion alone.

Wang Mozhi received the news that Cui Shao had been taking leave, so he naturally didn't think much about it. Cui Shao was so busy these two days, and the news of Zhang Nan's disappearance spread throughout Chang'an City. Now Cui Shao has claimed leave, it must be that Cui Shao's precious son-in-law has news, otherwise Cui Shao wouldn't have asked for leave directly, and even the morning court was brought.

When he arrived at the Tai Chi Hall, after Liu Bing shouted "Go to court", Wang Mozhi stood up and bowed to Li Er and said, "I have reported to the emperor that something happened at the mansion of the Minister of Revenue Cui Shao and Cui, so I asked my ministers to help me take leave this morning."

Li Eryi, who was not interested in going to court, heard that something happened in Cui Shao's mansion and could not even go to court, and immediately felt a bad feeling surged in his heart. Li Er hurriedly asked, "What's the matter? Is there news about Qingquan?"
