Inside the official office of Yuding City.
Feng Heng looked nervous at the person in front of him. He waited for the servant to bring tea before he cautiously said: "Eunuch Wei, please have tea."
Eunuch Wei twirled the tea cup, raised his little finger, and said with a sweet smile: "Master Feng, you're welcome."
"Shouldn't my father-in-law be in the border town? May I ask why you are here in Yuding City? Could something big happen?" Feng Heng said cautiously.
Although the Eunuch Wei in front of him has a small official position, his status is really special.
He never thought that the guarding official of Bian Town would come all the way to Yuding City. Could it be that he was here to investigate the case of King Wu's rebellion?
As soon as Eunuch Wei's tea cup was brought to his mouth, he suddenly put it down again.
He looked at Feng Heng and said, "It's not a big deal, it's a small thing. Mr. Feng, Mr. Fang Zhengfang, is missing. You don't know about it, right?"
"I heard that emergency reports have been issued south of Jianjiang, and inspection departments in various places have been ordered to conduct searches. Many local police stations have even sent troops to conduct searches. Why is there no movement from your side?"
Feng Heng laughed dryly and cursed in his heart.
After the Zhou family was wiped out by King Wu, it didn't take long for the news of King Wu's rebellion to come out. After careful inspection, the Zhou family actually colluded with King Wu!
These grandsons pay tribute to him every year and somehow become accomplices of the rebels!
King Wu tried to eradicate the root, but he couldn't get rid of it completely! You have to help him finish it off yourself!
According to the household registration, I found that there was a young master in my family after running away for four weeks, and those four people were in the city at the time. How could I be in the mood to find Fang Zhengyi now!
If these four people knew any secrets, I was afraid that they would be killed first.
"Of course I know about this. Please don't worry, father-in-law. I have sent people to look for it privately. But...why did Eunuch Wei come in person?"
Eunuch Wei sighed: "Hey... Our godfather can't be worried. He specially ordered me to bring people to check in person! Now Dongchang doesn't know how many mountains he has climbed and how many villages and towns he has searched!"
"However, there is news recently that someone left marks and traces of a large number of people's activities in the mountains near Yuding City, so we guess that Mr. Fang may be in Yuding City!"
"The pressure from above is very strict. Your Majesty is anxious and ordered the guards to send people to conduct a thorough investigation. The prince also sent people to investigate privately. Then our godfather is even more anxious!"
"Who is Mr. Fang? He is now the commander of the Jinyi Guards personally appointed by His Majesty, and is in the third rank! Our godfather and he are brothers, so he is my uncle!"
"He should take the initiative to find the government. If there is no news for so long, he might be arrested as a refugee slave. Oh, my poor Uncle Fang, I don't know how much suffering he has suffered!" Speaking of this, Eunuch Wei pretended to be a slave. shed tears.
"Jin... what is Jin Yiwei?" Feng Heng was dumbfounded. Apparently he had never heard of what Jin Yiwei was.
Eunuch Wei covered his mouth and smiled: "It's normal that you don't know. Our family just found out not long ago! News about Dongchang spread quickly, and I don't know how many horses were killed along the way at starry night!"
"This Jin Yiwei is a newly established organization by His Majesty. To put it bluntly, it is responsible for handling cases all over the world and is only responsible for His Majesty."
Feng Heng’s pupils suddenly shook!
He handles the world's cases and is responsible only for His Majesty... Don't the courtiers have any objections to this kind of decentralization of authority?
The court is afraid that things will change!
"Sir Feng, since I entered the city, I have seen that you are looking for criminals who want to destroy the family, and you have allocated a lot of manpower. Let's leave these small things aside for now. It's important to talk to me, Uncle Fang!"
"Yes...yes! What my father-in-law said makes sense. I will immediately send more manpower to look for Mr. Fang in the city." Feng Heng's expression became more stiff.
"Well, keep a low profile! I, Uncle Fang, have such an important status and live among the people. The court will be disgraced if I tell you!" Eunuch Wei sat down again and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Master Feng, I came early this time. Yes, if there are no accidents, someone else may come to you to talk about this matter."
"Our family is the first to look for you, and maybe my uncle has just arrived in Yuding City and will come over to look for you after he has rested. If you have any news, you must give it to me as soon as possible."
"Think about it, our godfather is in charge of the East Factory, and my uncle Fang is in charge of the royal guards. These are real relatives! If you find my uncle, you will get two favors. When I report back to my godfather, he will not be able to If I say a few nice words to you in front of His Majesty, won’t you have a prosperous official career in the future?”
Feng Heng agreed repeatedly: "Yes, yes! For such a big matter, I must take care of Uncle Fang..."
"Hmm~?"
"Ah no! Find Mr. Fang!"
snort!
Eunuch Wei rolled his eyes at him charmingly, "That's my uncle, how dare you scream?"
"Okay, Mr. Feng, we won't bother you anymore. If you have any news, please remember to inform me. Farewell!"
"Eunuch Wei, walk slowly!"
After sending Eunuch Wei out, Feng Heng sat in the public room in despair.
It's over, we haven't found those four bastards yet! I can't control the affairs in the capital, but Yu Dingcheng's tail must be swept clean!
Nowadays, there are conflicts again, and the forces in the city are mixed... What should we do?
After thinking for a while, Feng Heng waved to Sun Tongzhi, who was not far away, and asked: "How are those Zhou family thieves doing with their investigation? Is there any news?"
"Sir, there is no news at all! But don't worry, didn't we seal the city gate as soon as possible so that we can't get in or out? They must still be in the city and can't escape from our hands!" Sun Tong knew.
"Fart! Now there are people coming from the capital, and everyone in Dongchang is secretly searching the city. If they know what to order, can you still keep your head? You didn't take the Zhou family's money?!" Feng Heng was furious: "Immediately! This Investigate me in a few days! We must find those thieves and behead them in public!"
Sun Tong realized later that he felt something was not good at this time, and hesitantly said: "Can you look for Mr. Fang?"
"It's just a show! King Wu rebelled and he personally investigated the case. What can we do if we find out about the Zhou family's troubles? It's best to kill all the Zhou family now! Even if someone finds out that Zhou guy and King Wu are , we can at least save our lives! Damn it, where are these people hiding? Is it possible that they can disappear out of thin air after searching the streets and alleys? "
Sun Tongzhi thought for a while: "Sir, we are just searching on the street, and we also checked the families who have good contact with the Zhou family. What if he is hiding in someone else's house?"
Feng Heng frowned: "Other people's family? The whole city is wanted, who would dare to take them in without any friendship?"
"What if...the Zhou family has some kind of bank secretly and uses silver as collateral? You must know that those merchants can't afford to be early because they have no profit, and they don't dare to do the business of beheading for money!"
"Hiss!" Feng Heng was shocked: "You are right! This is a blind spot, how could you forget this?"
"Immediately! Pick out the rich households in the city immediately and search them one by one! Keep a low profile and don't get caught!"
.......
Outside the yamen, Eunuch Wei looked back at the portrait, turned around and greeted the people on his left and right: "Send a few people with them, and come back immediately to inform me if there is any news."
"Father-in-law, didn't they go check it out?"
"Hmph, there are so many people looking for my Uncle Fang! What if he tells others? Our Dongchang has almost lost all face in recent years. My godfather is anxious to get angry, otherwise he can ask me to come from the border town without approval. Huh! We must be the first to find Uncle Fang this time!"
As he spoke, he carefully took out a portrait from his arms and unfolded it. It was a sketch of Fang Zhengyi, and it was simply colored. It showed Fang Zhengyi halfway up the snowy mountain, wearing a brocade hat and mink fur, riding a horse. Hooves, pointing to the sky.
