To protect these big men, although there are many guards, the most intimate ones are relatively fixed, usually a small group of people work in three shifts.
These people have been carefully selected, and their cultivation is second, mainly because of their innocence, loyalty and reliability.
Of course, in the end, the cultivation base cannot be too low.
Previously, Zuan learned from the evil cultivator that a guard of Duke Yunzhong went to the capital to ask for help, but was chased and killed. Unfortunately, the evil cultivator only sacrificed the remnant soul of the other party and did not know the guard's identity. specific identity.
But if nothing else, the other party should be one of Yunzhong County's personal guards. The guards on the periphery do not have the ability to understand the secrets, nor are they loyal enough to risk their lives to seek help.
"A member of the guard class?" Gong Pan was stunned, obviously curious about his purpose, but nodded, "Okay, I'll write a copy for you."
He found a pen and paper, and while writing, he introduced: "After the accident of the county magistrate, their group of people also dispersed one after another. After all, other people can't use them with confidence, and they will build their own team..."
Zaan nodded to show his understanding. Just like some companies in the previous life, the next leader will usually dismiss the cheerleaders from the previous year and replace them with brand new ones...
"Where are all these people now?" Zaun asked curiously as he took the list.
"A few people followed me to my wife's place. Others were disheartened and went back to seclusion. Others stayed in the Governor's Mansion, and were gradually marginalized and moved to other places," Gong Pan explained.
Zaun patted him on the shoulder as a sign of consolation, it was truly a shame that the once glorious Duke's Mansion had come to such an end.
At this time, Gong Pan suddenly kneeled on his knees and gave him a salute: "Master Zu, please find out the truth about our county prince's disappearance, and give justice to everyone."
"Get up quickly." Zaan hurriedly helped him up, "This is my duty, and I will do my best."
Whether it was for the mission, for the friendship with Yu Yanluo, or to clear up the doubts in his heart, he had to find out the truth of the matter.
…
After thinking about the whole case all the way, I unknowingly returned to the hotel and found that Sang Hong and others had come back first.
Seeing that he was silent, Sang Hong comforted: "Azu, you don't have to be too concerned. We went to the Duke's Mansion to check before. According to the people there, Madam Yu has not been seen for a long time. Us, so it's normal that you didn't see it."
It was rare for Pei You to see him slumped, but he finally regained a little self-confidence, holding back a smile and hugging his shoulders to comfort him, "Brother Ancestor, we all know that you are very attractive, but Yu Yanluo is a woman who can't get enough... "
Zaan nodded. "She didn't let anyone in, but I did."
"It's normal not to go in, don't we all go in," Pei You subconsciously comforted, suddenly something was wrong, and his voice suddenly increased, "You went in, who did you go to?"
Zuan was stunned: "Of course it's Jade Yanluo, where else can I enter?"
"Impossible? Madam Yu has been missing for several months, not even the acting governor Jian Taiding. How can I see you?" Now even Gao Ying is a little suspicious. Could it be because so many people are there? Ancestor brother in front of him was a little embarrassed and said this on purpose. After all, none of us can confirm whether he has entered or not, and no one else can enter anyway.
Zaan spread his hands: "Didn't I say, I am friends with her and have a deep friendship."
Sang Hong was also a little skeptical at the beginning. After all, he had heard of it back then. Even the emperor wanted to see Yu Yanluo.
However, he thought that Zuan was not the kind of open mouth, and hurriedly asked: "Azu, have you really met Madam Yu? What's the gain?"
"She doesn't seem to be in good health and needs to rest for a long time, so she doesn't see outsiders." Zaan did not specifically mention the other party's fear of cold. Yu Yanluo trusted him to show him her weak side, so he naturally couldn't be ignorant. Anyway, let these secrets be revealed, in case she is used by the bad guys to harm her.
"In addition, she doesn't seem to live with Duke Yunzhong, and they live separately for a long time."
He even suspected that there was something wrong with the relationship between their husband and wife, but such speculation did not come out.
"You actually found out such a secret thing?" The others were shocked. They checked the Duke's mansion for half a day. Although Yu Yanluo didn't live there, they thought it was because Yunzhong Jun disappeared after her disappearance. I just returned to Yu's house, but I didn't expect the two to separate before disappearing.
"In addition, a small part of the people around Duke Yunzhong have followed Madam Yu, and many others have been drawn by Jian Taiding..." Zuan explained the situation from Gong Pan.
No one doubted that he met Yu Yanluo anymore, Gao Ying hesitated, but Pei You was much more direct, hugging Zu An directly: "Brother Zu, no, Master, accept me as a disciple!"
Sang Hong thought to himself that the previous intelligence showed that this kid from the Pei family was a gloomy and introverted boy. How could he be so... funny in front of Azu
But Azu's women's relationship is really surprising. It's nothing more than those in the past. Even women like Yu Yanluo have friendship with him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help worrying about his daughter. Although Qian'er was considered to be both talented and beautiful, whether she was compared with the eldest Miss Chu family or Yu Yanluo, she had no advantage. Please help me a bit, this is our unique advantage.
Seeing many people asking Zuan for advice on how to win the favor of women, Sang Hong finally came back to his senses and coughed lightly: "Let's talk about business first, we just visited Jian Yanyou's housekeeper at the Duke's Mansion, and he revealed some The information can corroborate with what you mentioned, Azu, but it is far less detailed than what you have come here."
He was also a little depressed when it came to this. There were many capable officials in their group, but the combined gains were not as good as what Zu An alone could get.
It's no wonder that the wife's route is popular in the officialdom, and in this regard, I also need to find an opportunity to ask Azu for advice.
"Master Sang is serious, and your role is also very big. One thing needs to be understood from different channels, otherwise it is easy to listen to partial beliefs."
Hearing Zaun say that, the smiles on the others' faces grew more sincere.
Sang Hong stroked his beard satisfactorily. The other party is much more powerful than his incompetent son. I hope that in the future, my grandson can inherit these advantages of Azu, and I will not waste my previous painstaking efforts: "Azu, do you think we will accept this case? How should we start?"
Zaan thought for a while and said, "I think we can divide our troops into three groups, and go all the way to investigate the scene of the Yunzhong County Public Retreat, as well as investigate the various places in the Duke's Mansion to see if we can find any clues;"
"The other way to ask for the confessions of relevant people is not only limited to the servants and servants of the duke's mansion at that time, but also people from the governor's mansion, the county governor's mansion, and maybe some of Jian Taiding's political enemies will provide some unexpected information."
"The last way to investigate the information of the guard who came to the capital to report the letter but was silenced. Although he is already dead, he will definitely leave various marks when he comes to this world. Let's start with the relationship around him and see if we can find out anything. ."
Sang Hong nodded secretly, Azu's thinking was really clear, and he clarified the whole mess in a few words: "So good, Gao Ying Peiyou will be in charge of the exploration site, and this official will ask for the testimony of all parties; A Zu is responsible for investigating the information about that bodyguard."
Gao Ying was thoughtful, and Pei You was a clever man, so it was perfect for the two of them to cooperate in the investigation of the scene; the second route needed to deal with the officialdom of Yunzhong County, and the weight of the others was obviously not enough, so he had to go out; as for the silenced guard, he was originally Zaun knew it best.
In addition, he also wanted to arrange for someone to watch Prince Qi's son-in-law, but learned that Zuan had arranged for Xiao Jianren to go there. In addition to being satisfied, he was really looking at his son-in-law, and the more he looked, the more he liked it.
In the next few days, according to their respective divisions of labor, everyone began to investigate the matter at hand.
In the Pei mansion, a beautiful girl was sitting at the table with her eyebrows thrush, and the maid behind her was combing her hair.
She glanced enviously at the chest that the young lady was resting on the table, and the maid said, "Miss, is there anything you are happy about recently? Her complexion is much better than before."
"Really?" Pei Mianman stroked her cheeks, looking at the beautiful face in the mirror, she couldn't help laughing madly.
"Miss has been laughing like this for no reason recently. It seems that she is very satisfied with the Prince of Qi." The maid thought to herself that Miss's hair was so smooth that the comb could slide directly to the ground when put on it, and it was not as dry and knotted as herself .
"He?" Pei Mianman snorted, but didn't want to explain too much.
The maid did not feel the contempt in her tone, and continued: "Then Prince Qi is quite interested in the young lady. These days, he runs to the house every three days. All kinds of snacks, rouge, and jewelry are being delivered. The young lady also How long will it take to hang him, I think it's almost the same, after all, he is the prince of the palace, and it would not be good if he annoyed him."
From her point of view, the young lady has been avoiding her all the time, mostly because she has a hard-to-find mind, but this is about a degree, and the heat should be about the same now.
"No!" Pei Mianman was a little irritable, but he was thinking about the unconscionable. He didn't come for several days after taking advantage of it that day. Men are really big pigs' hooves, and they don't know how to cherish them when they get them.
"Will this offend the Prince of Qi, and it's also very difficult for the master and his wife." The maid advised.
"What's the matter with me?" Pei Mianman's expression turned cold when he heard Mrs. and Mrs. "You won't take the favor of Prince Qi and persuade me for him, right?"
"No," the maid hurriedly waved her hands in fright, "Miss treats me like a mountain, but how dare you eat red dates."
Because Pei Mianman was not a direct daughter, she was not favored in the mansion in the early years, and only sent a frail little maid to serve.
Because her complexion was not very good, Pei Mianman often saved her share of red dates to replenish her qi and blood, and over time simply named her red dates.
Later, as Pei Mianman grew up, and her peerless appearance began to appear, the Pei family gradually began to pay attention to it, and she refused to send her a maid.
The master and servant have been dependent on each other for many years, and the red dates are also grateful and thoughtful of their own masters everywhere.
Pei Mianman said: "Red Dates, I know you are kind and want me to get out of the bitter sea as soon as possible. Prince Qi is indeed a good match for most women, but I don't like it."
Hongzao looked worried: "Is the young lady still thinking about the person you like in Mingyue City? But both the Qi Wangfu and the Pei family seem to have intentions to facilitate this marriage, I'm afraid..."
As the lady's personal maid, although the other party didn't say it clearly, the changes after returning from Mingyue City could not be concealed from her eyes.
"Don't worry, he has his own way." Thinking of Zu'an's wilting energy, Pei Mianman's eyes were full of smiles.
Seeing her like this, Hongzao couldn't say anything else, so he talked about the situation in the mansion: "Today, the Prince of Qi is here again, and he seems to be talking about the imperial mission with the master. I passed by and heard that he was planning to invite the young lady. What are you doing, the master hesitates a little. That prince is really outrageous. Miss, you haven't married yet, so you want to instruct you to do things... "
Before she could finish speaking, Pei Mianman had already stood up: "What? Take me to the living room."
