Chapter 357 Situ Yi Searches for Someone
The guard knelt down and begged for forgiveness, saying:
"Young Master, Young Master Hu is currently missing. The leader has already given chase. I have returned to gather men and we will do everything in our power to find Young Master Hu."
Jia Zhen panicked. Now that his grandfathers were not around and his eldest brother had disappeared, what could he do?
Jia Zhen thought for a moment, then turned and ran away.
The servants chased after him, and Jia Zhen ran all the way to the young prince's courtyard.
The guards at the door saw people rushing over and instinctively tried to stop them.
Jia Zhen shouted into the room:
"Little Prince, Little Prince! Open the door quickly!"
Situ Minghe and Situ Yi were in the courtyard when they heard the noise. Situ Minghe immediately told someone to open the door.
Seeing Jia Zhen panting heavily, Situ Minghe quickly came over, pulled Jia Zhen aside, and asked:
"What's wrong with my brother? Did something happen?"
Situ Minghe looked behind him again and asked:
"You came here on your own, but where is your little brother Hu'er?"
Jia Zhen looked at the young imperial grandson, took his hand, and suddenly burst into tears.
"My older brother is missing. He went to the clinic to visit someone, but the clinic caught fire, and now my brother is nowhere to be found."
"Young prince, may I borrow someone from you? Please send someone to find my elder brother immediately."
Situ Minghe and Situ Yi were both startled.
Jia Hu has disappeared!
"What is Hu'er going to the clinic for?"
Jia Zhen suppressed his tears and tried his best to recount the events of the past few days in an organized manner.
Upon hearing this, Situ Yi
"You two are really bold. Such a big thing, and the adults aren't home. Why didn't you come and tell me?"
Situ Yi knew that saying anything now was useless. He immediately ordered all the guards to assemble, and personally led a group to the street to find Jia Hu.
Situ Minghe stopped Jia Zhen, who wanted to go with him, and said:
“We’re too young. Going there now would only cause trouble. With our little uncle here, he’ll definitely find little brother Hu’er. As for little brother Zhen’er, we’ll stay here and wait obediently.”
Jia Zhen knew he couldn't help much, so he could only turn around, hug Situ Minghe, and cry.
Situ Minghe was also anxious and distressed. He thought that his younger brother Hu'er should be safe because he should have bodyguards by his side.
Situ Minghe thought he had bodyguards, but he didn't know that during the firefighting, Jia Hu asked him to go to the clinic to save people, which is why Jia Hu was left unprotected.
By the time Situ Yi and his men reached the street, the fire at the clinic had gradually died down, as there was nothing left to burn.
People were putting out fires on both sides of the street, and it was a mess everywhere.
Situ Yi saw that Jia family guards were searching for Jia Hu everywhere. Situ Yi ordered his men to spread out all the items and search carefully, inch by inch.
Situ Yi didn't find Jia Hu, but he found Er Niu, a patient at the clinic, first.
Erniu was crying as he searched for Jia Hu. He had just learned that Jia Hu had disappeared and that there had just been bandits.
The doctor and his apprentice were also looking for people and couldn't take care of their clinic, which had been burned to pieces.
Upon inquiry, Situ Yi learned that the fire started at the clinic, and since no one was inside, it meant that someone had deliberately set the fire.
The purpose of setting the fire was to burn Erniu to death.
The doctor and his apprentice only stayed at the clinic when they were busy; otherwise, they went home.
It wasn't convenient to wash up in the clinic. Erniu knew that the Duke and the others were returning today, and he was thinking about meeting the Emperor, so he wanted to take a bath. No matter what, he had to be clean so as not to be impolite in front of the Emperor.
