The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 101 The prince seems to have changed

Pei Hao led the officers and soldiers of the Imperial City Division to surround Qingfengju.

 Xie Zhang received the news immediately.

He held the scroll tightly and slowly put it down after a long time. "Who leaked the news?"

 “It hasn’t been found out yet,” the man replied in a low voice.

Xie Zhang asked again: "Where is the coachman?"

“I sent him to Zhuangzi early that morning, but he was not in the city.”

　　　…”

Xie Zhang stood up and walked slowly to the window sill. When he stood still, he had already thought of a way to deal with it. "The person who is going is Pei Hao. He will not give up until he finds someone. Anyway, he is just suspicious. I don’t know who the specific person is.”

Pei Hao wanted to keep the yamen affairs a secret, but unfortunately there were many people handling it.

 So, the Xie family still knew the result of the interrogation through some means.

 Xie Zhang immediately made arrangements.

 Use a special method to issue orders one by one out of the government.

the other side.

The Imperial City Division carefully searched Qingfeng Residence, but no criminal was found.

Several places were found in the cellar, but no one was hiding in them.

Mu Si'an stopped looking at the beauty at this moment and stared at the servants. He pulled them aside one by one and asked them individually if there was anything unusual in Qingfeng Residence and if there were any hiding places.

 Just after a thorough investigation, no abnormalities were found.

Pei Hao walked around Qingfengju with his sword in hand.

 He doesn't walk very fast. He starts and stops every time.

Hu San and others were followed behind him. They didn't know what Prince Pei was doing, so they just followed him. None of the group knew that the person who was secretly watching Pei Hao's movements was secretly anxious.

 In a small room with four walls.

Three young people, unusually quiet.

They had already heard the noise caused by the officers and soldiers during the search just now. In fact, even they don't know where the capital is.

 It was dark at the time, and he was sent directly to the house after being injured.

Xiaoshan whispered worriedly: "Master, will you be found?"

"No." The young man was not too nervous, "Because there is no entrance or exit to the small room."

At this time, Amu reminded Xiaoshan, "Xiaoshan, have you forgotten? When we came in that night, did the man say that he would seal the secret passage? He would let us out after the storm outside passed."

 Xiaoshan stopped talking.

 The young man’s eyes scanned the four walls countless times.

The owner who originally built this house had obviously expected something. Unless the people from the Imperial City Division demolished the house, it would be impossible to find them.

Moreover.

 The walls on all sides are not exposed to the outside.

  It is a house within a house.

If you want to see some clues, you need to look down from above. Then go around the surrounding rooms and be keenly aware that the size of the rooms is wrong.

This is really difficult.

 Those who have lived here for a long time cannot find the problem.

 But who is Pei Hao? It doesn't matter if I haven't found anyone for a day.

Pei Hao ordered, "Send someone to guard this place. If we don't catch anyone for a day, we will keep guarding."

 “Yes, my lord.”

The Imperial City Secretary executed the order and stayed at Qingfengju. As for the servants of Qingfeng Residence, they were all locked up in several rooms and starved to death twice a day.

Pei Hao stayed for more than an hour.

We searched back and forth more than a dozen times, but still couldn't find anyone.

Mu Si'an was suspicious: "Sir, are you sure the news is true?" "When the crime occurred that night, a carriage passed by the tavern. Someone saw it. I ordered people to trace the whereabouts of the carriage and found it here." Pei Hao didn't say how he found out, "Did you get any useful information from interrogating those servants?"

Mu Si'an said: "No. The servants looked the same, so they might not know. However, I found out the identity of that great beauty."

"Oh?" Pei Hao glanced at Mu Si'an with a playful look in his eyes.

Mu Si'an wanted to give him a punch, "What are you thinking about? Don't think wrongly, I don't dare to think about such a beauty."

"Ah."

Pei Hao believed what he said.

Mu Si'an said seriously: "This girl's name is Huang Lian, she is eighteen years old, and she is the stepdaughter of Huang Dacai, the emperor's businessman. She had a heart disease when she was born. It is said that if she is well raised, she may live to be twenty years old. Also because of her illness , she has been resting at home and almost never leaves the house."

“Isn’t the Huang family’s ancestral home in Pingnancheng? Why is she alone in Beijing?”

 “I remembered! I’ve heard about this.”

Mu Si'an's ancestral home is Pingnancheng. He also grew up in Pingnancheng when he was a child. He has heard some things about the Huang family and also knows that the Huang family has a sick child. "She lived in Pingnancheng when she was a child. I heard that she was thirteen years old. At that time, the elders were worried about her marriage, but she was determined not to marry and did not want to hurt others. But she did not want to marry and was afraid of the gossips of the people in her clan, so she came to live in the capital alone. "

 The Huang family of Huangshang?

 No wonder people who have enough money buy a house on Rongchang Street to use as a villa.

Thoughts flashed through Pei Hao's peach blossom eyes, "That girl's behavior doesn't look like that of an ordinary merchant family, but more like that of a noble girl from aristocratic families."

"Oh, this is not surprising. Her mother was a noble daughter of a noble family. When she was young, she accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by a man who went up the mountain to chop firewood. It caused a huge uproar. In order to gain fame, she had to marry a man from the mountains. It's a pity that this man I was not blessed to receive the kindness of a beautiful woman, and died in an accident just one year after getting married."

"Ah!"

 Whether it was an accident, who knows?

Pei Hao is quite familiar with the dirty tricks behind the scenes of the aristocratic family.

After searching a few more times, we still couldn’t find the hidden person.

Pei Hao left Mu Si'an to watch, and he took Hu San and others out of Qingfengju first.

 It’s not that he doesn’t want to keep it.

 But he was still worried about the health of his young fiancée.

If he had not received the secret letter before, he would have gone to the princess's house long ago.

 Riding a horse.

 Others thought he would return to the Yamen.

 No, the prince went to the princess's mansion!

 It was already noon when the group arrived at the princess's residence.

The eldest princess was very curious when she learned that Pei Hao was coming again, "Chengming has been very close to the Qian'er brothers recently?"

“Your Highness, we are all young people, so it’s not surprising to be so close.” Mammy said warmly.

The eldest princess thought it was reasonable, so she asked the chief steward to pass the message, eliminating the need for Pei Hao to come to the main courtyard to greet him, and asked him to go directly to play with the young people, and treat the princess mansion as his own home.

When Pei Hao heard the last sentence, his heart felt a little warm.

Hence, he smiled gently and said: "That prince is not too polite. Being too polite may seem harsh."

 Butler: “…”

 The prince seems to have changed, you're welcome.

Pei Hao asked again: "Where is Brother Du?"

 “The eldest young master is in his own yard. Do you want my servant to lead the prince over?”

 “Ahem.” Pei Hao wanted to ask more about the whereabouts of the princess.

 Just as the words came to his lips, they became Du Qian's.

When the housekeeper said this, he could only nod his head bravely. He would not let others know that he was specifically looking for the little girl. It would be unpleasant to spread this word.

It didn't take long for Pei Hao to arrive at Du Qian's yard.

When Pei Hao passed by, he met Du Qian having lunch.
