Yan has been missing for an hour.
Jin Linwei, who was out looking for someone, asked about Yan's appearance for the last time, which was at the door of Fengmingxuan.
"The man said that after Madam rushed out from Fengmingxuan, she squatted under the steps of Fengmingxuan. When a carriage passed by, she followed the carriage. As for where she went, no one knows."
"Look for it again."
"yes."
Jin Linwei turned around and went out, passing by Fu Bai.
"Lord Governor." Fu Bai knelt down and saluted.
Pei Heng frowned: "Why are you here?" The feeling of uneasiness added another layer.
Fu Bai stood up and said, "Master Governor, Madam is at the young lady's place."
"What?" Pei Heng looked at Fubai and asked in disbelief.
"Madam followed our carriage out of the city. When we arrived outside the city, Angor found Madam. Madam ran after the carriage and fell. Her hand was slightly injured. She was fine. The lady originally wanted to send Madam home. , but the madam said she wanted to follow them. The young lady is afraid that you will be worried, so she asked her subordinate to come back and tell you."
Pei Heng's heart finally fell back to where it was before.
Just be fine!
"Okay, go back." Pei Heng didn't say much else: "Protect them well. If anything goes wrong, come to see me."
Fubai touched his neck: "I obey."
After Fu Bai left, Pei Heng also lifted up his robe and strode out. The Jin Linwei outside lowered his head and heard Pei Heng's order: "Bring me my spiritual vulture."
When Pei Heng arrived at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, the vulture was already waiting at the gate.
He took the reins, dismounted, and galloped down the street. People who saw the black horse gave way.
Pei Heng arrived at the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion without any obstruction.
When the concierge saw Pei Heng, he didn't dare to open the door, "Grand Governor..."
Pei Heng opened the door and entered the Zhenguo Duke's mansion.
The concierge winked quickly, and a young nurse rushed to report to Zhong and Yuan.
Yuanshi was in Zhong's yard. When she heard that Pei Heng was coming, Yuanshi was startled.
"Why is he here? Does he know that Yan is missing?"
Mrs. Zhong said she was not afraid of Pei Heng, but when she heard that Pei Heng was coming, she became angry: "Didn't you say you are not afraid of him? Why, you are still afraid, right? Insulting Yan Did you leave your brain at home when you were pregnant?"
Yuanshi pulled Zhongshi and begged for mercy: "Mom, it's not me who insulted Yanshi, it's those two people."
Mrs. Zhong shook his head and sighed: "Let's go and have a look. Then don't say anything and just coax him to leave."
Yuanshi smiled and went to help Zhongshi, "Mom, I knew you were the best to me."
Pei Heng entered the lobby of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion with ease.
He found a seat and sat down boldly.
Those maids and servants looked at you from me to me, but they didn't dare to come forward.
Pei Heng threw the riding crop on the table: "Why, the old master came back and didn't even have a cup of tea?"
The maids went down quickly.
Before the tea was served, Mr. Zhong and Mr. Yuan arrived.
Mrs. Zhong was crying from afar: "My dear grandson, you finally have time to visit your grandmother. Grandma misses you so much."
Pei Heng curled his lips with a cold smile. When he looked up again, there was warmth flowing in his eyes: "Grandma, Heng'er misses you too."
"You have to come back to see grandma more often. Grandma is getting older, and her health is getting worse day by day. It won't be long, ahem... I have to go down to see your grandfather."
After Zhong said a few words, he coughed twice, giving people the feeling that he was about to run out of gas.
Pei Heng helped Zhong sit down: "Grandma, please take care of your health. If your grandson has time, he must come back to see grandma more often."
"Hey, okay." Mrs. Zhong took Pei Heng's hand and smiled amiably.
Pei Heng's eyes fell on Yuanshi: "What's wrong with Second Aunt? Why are you standing outside and not coming in?"
Yuanshi smiled coquettishly, hiding her inner panic, walked in, and sat down far away from Pei Heng.
"Grandma, I came here this time to see my mother." Pei Heng said with a smile. He was speaking to Mrs. Zhong, but his eyes were fixed on Mrs. Yuan.
Yuanshi's heart skipped a beat and she said nothing.
Mrs. Zhong glared at Mrs. Yuan, took Pei Heng's hand and said, "It's not like you don't know what your mother is like. If she sees you again, she will be in a bad mood and get sick again. Your mother is very fine. Can eat, drink and sleep.”
Pei Heng smiled and asked, "Is my mother in the house?"
Mrs. Zhong was stunned by the question, and then smiled: "Why aren't you here..."
"Are you there?" Pei Heng simply asked if he was there.
Mrs. Zhong smiled sarcastically: "Yes, yes."
"I want to meet her." Pei Heng took out a box from his arms: "These are two pieces of top-quality jade that the emperor gave me last time. They can be used to make jade pendants. I will give one to my grandmother and one to my mother."
The emperor rewarded it, it is a treasure.
When Mrs. Yuan heard that there was jade, she stretched her neck to look. Pei Heng gave a piece to Mrs. Zhong. Mrs. Zhong smiled and said, "It's hard for you to still think about grandma when you have such good things. Last time I heard that the emperor would reward me for hosting the prince on Friday. I offered you a lot of things, but you rejected them all?"
"Yes. They are all external things, and keeping them is a burden." Pei Heng said.
"Why is the emperor's reward for you a burden?" Mrs. Zhong said: "It's always good for you to be alone in your own house, with so many people, and to have money around you. Besides, it's a gift from the elders. You can't refuse it. You can do it next time." Don't be reckless, lest you make the emperor unhappy and say that you, a minister, do not appreciate the emperor's reward."
Mrs. Zhong looked around and talked about him.
"Yes, grandson, listen." Pei Heng pinched another jade stone: "I want to see my mother."
Mrs. Zhong: "..." She glanced at Yuanshi, who was getting increasingly anxious: "Go and see if your sister-in-law is up."
Yuanshi found the opportunity and stood up immediately, "Yes, my daughter-in-law will go and have a look right now."
She went down in a panic, and as soon as she got there she asked, "Is Mr. Yan back?"
"No, I've searched everywhere. I've searched all over Kyoto, but there's no trace of the eldest lady."
Didn't see it, didn't see it.
Yuanshi thought it was nothing before, but when Pei Heng sat there and smiled, she felt flustered.
He didn't come earlier or later, but he came at this time and said he didn't know. Who would believe it?
"Then why don't you hurry up and look for it? If you can't find it, you're dead outside." Yuanshi was furious.
I dare not go in.
Finally, he came up with an idea: "Ah Heng, your mother is asleep. I'm afraid she won't be able to get up for a while."
Pei Heng finally drank the tea poured by the servant and said slowly, "I just have nothing to do today. I'll wait for her to wake up."
Yuanshi: "..."
Zhong frowned.
Pei Heng finished one cup of tea, then another, and another.
He himself didn't even remember how many cups of tea he drank. He became more and more calm and relaxed. On the contrary, Yuanshi across from him was sweating profusely and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
Fusong stopped by and brought a booklet.
On top of that were the incriminating evidence of two people he had just found out. The fifth-grade official Sesame was a minor official, but he couldn't find any serious incriminating evidence. However, Jin Linwei has a power that no one can dispute.
If there is any evidence of guilt, no matter how big or small, Jin Linwei can kill it first and report it later.
Pei Heng closed the fold and handed it to Fusong, then placed the tip of his right index finger on the table.
Knocked gently four times.
