The Jinyiwei acted very quickly and soon searched the villa back and forth. Except for the small courtyard with two entrances where the old lady lived, all other places had been searched.
The Third Master had someone come in and told everyone to leave, and the maids who were not serving in the house to stay in their rooms and not move around. At the same time, he said to the Third Master Lin: "Our old lady came out this time to recuperate. She is old and may not be able to withstand the shock. I'll trouble you to be gentle later..."
Young Master Lin is a loner by nature. Even if Earl Qinghe himself were right in front of him, he would not give him face. The Third Master was very nervous.
Young Master Lin nodded slightly, not sure whether he had heard it or not. He led his men quickly into the old lady's yard without stopping, and asked them to follow the housekeeper to count the number of people. He took the list of servants and looked through it.
The reputation of the Jinyiwei has always made people shudder. There was no sound in the room, even if a pin drop could be heard. After a while, the housekeeper lowered her head and led a Jinyiwei to the corridor. Only then did the third master breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that I have passed this level safely.
"It's our old lady and the women in there..." The Third Master looked at the Third Young Master Lin and said, "There are only a few people serving here, so there must be no one else. Would you like to see it, Mr. Lin?"
Lin San Shao made a gesture without saying a word, and the Jinyiwei who had filled the courtyard immediately gathered around him. He bowed to the Third Master and said, "No need to disturb the old lady."
The third master hurriedly said that he dared not, looked at the second master who had been driven out, and together they sent the third young master Lin out.
The eldest lady finally relaxed a lot, patting her chest with lingering fear: "Finally they are gone! Those killers..." She paused, and then became a little puzzled: "This Third Young Master Lin is not as scary as the legend says..."
Wei An knew what the eldest lady meant.
Lin San Shao is the third illegitimate son of Earl Qinghe. He has always been famous for his cold-bloodedness. Previously, Earl Qinghe's second son was involved in the Feng family's case, which happened to fall into Lin San Shao's hands. Lin San Shao ignored the crying and pleading of his stepmother and brother and sister-in-law, and tortured Lin Er Shao so severely that Lin Er Shao died in the Jinyi Prison.
If he is like this to his half brother, how can he be nice to others
Almost everyone in the capital city turns pale when they mention the three words "Young Master Lin" and regards him as a scourge. A while ago, Madam Lin dragged her sick body to the home of Minister Zou to propose marriage on his behalf. She wanted to marry Minister Zou's second daughter. The Zou family was so frightened that they immediately arranged another marriage for their daughter.
From then on, every family in the capital city with girls of marriageable age was in danger, fearing that they would be targeted by this plague god.
Wei An sighed. People can only see one side of things, but it is difficult to see the whole picture.
In his previous life, Young Master Lin was extremely favored by Emperor Longqing in the early days, and the Lin family did not dare to do anything to him. But once the King of Chu came to power and ascended the throne, the Lin family hated Young Master Lin to the core, and Earl Qinghe even expelled him from the Lin family.
At that time, Wei Yangqing was fighting against King Linjiang with all his strength. It was from Wei Yangqing's study that Wei An learned that Young Master Lin had surrendered to King Linjiang and was working for him.
Later...
Later, Prince Linjiang successfully rebelled and fought his way from Jiangxi to Nanjing. After taking control of the south, he marched straight ahead and finally drove the Prince of Chu off the throne. Young Master Lin also became very successful and was directly promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
This happened a long time ago. Wei An lowered his eyes and thought, without saying anything.
Old Madam Wei coughed a few times, looked at the sky, and asked them to go down and rest: "Since we have already searched, I think everything will be fine today. You should all go down and rest first. You have been worried and frightened all day..."
The eldest lady was indeed unable to hold on any longer and felt her eyelids beginning to twitch. She quickly stood up and responded, then led her daughter out.
Wei An also stood up and said goodbye to Old Lady Wei, still thinking about this incident all the way.
In the previous life, the assassin was caught on the spot and revealed that King Linjiang was the mastermind. What about this time? This time the assassin was not caught on the spot and escaped. So who is it this time
When she turned around the corridor, she saw Nanny Wang and others waiting with lanterns. She collected her thoughts and saw Nanny Li was there too, so she stopped and looked at her.
Nanny Li had come up by herself and stood in front of Wei An with some uneasiness: "Miss, there really is something going on at home..."
Wei An was still not angry, he just smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just that the Royal Guards came to search suddenly this time, and I was worried about my mother. I heard that something happened outside, and I was thinking that if my mother didn't come back, I'm afraid the Royal Guards would think that my mother was away doing something."
These few words frightened Madam Li so much that she turned pale. Wei An stopped looking at her and walked into the house. Seeing that Madam Li did not follow him in, he asked Madam Wang, "When did she come back?"
Nanny Wang wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said, "He came back before the Jinyiwei surrounded the mansion this afternoon. He was restless and I don't know what he was thinking about. He has been staying in the room all the time."
Wei An was relieved then. Nanny Li knew Qing He. If she saw Qing He, things would be difficult.
Thinking of Qinghe, she asked Nanny Wang to look after Nanny Li, and she took Yuqing to Lanhe's room to see Qinghe.
The housekeeper checked twice just now and didn't find any strangers in her room, so she felt a little uneasy.
But Lan He had already come over by herself, and knelt on the ground facing Wei An with a plop: "Girl, that sister Qing He is gone!"
Lan He knew Qing He's role, and she was so anxious that she kept crying: "I took her from Nanny Chen and brought her to my own room. She said she was hungry, and I was afraid that Nanny Li would find out, so I went to get her some snacks. Who knew that in just a short while, when I returned, I didn't see her anymore!"
She wiped her tears with the back of her hand, panicking and afraid: "Later I wanted to tell you, but the mothers in charge came and watched us very closely. They also checked every time we shot arrows. I wasn't sure what happened, so I didn't dare to move..."
Wei An didn’t hear clearly what Lan He said else. She only heard one message from Lan He’s words: Qing He was missing!
But how is that possible
Where could Qing He go? She was unfamiliar with the place, and didn't Nanny Chen say that she was tactful and kept saying that she would come back to serve her
Then why did she suddenly disappear
Could it be that Nanny Li found out?! If Nanny Li really found out, then how did she get rid of the person without making any noise? This is impossible!
