The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister

Chapter 190: Then let his fear come true

   Until the evening, the gates of the capital city were not opened, the searchers in the city did not stop, and the shops on Chang'an Avenue closed early.

  After nightfall, even the mansions of officials in the court began to be knocked on the door.

  There was such a big commotion in the Duke's Mansion, Wen Lan and Wen Qi naturally noticed it immediately, and hurried to the Duke's Mansion as soon as they arrived.

   Didn't see Pei You, didn't see Wen Ning, didn't even see a few familiar guards, only Linglan whose eyes were crying like peaches.

  The two caught Linglan and asked again, and found out the ins and outs of the matter.

  Wen Lan couldn't stay on the spot, and wanted to find the eldest princess.

  Wen Tingchun was assassinated, and told his two sons what happened back then.

  But he resolutely denied that it was the Queen's work.

   "The empress found someone to bring my father into Fengyi Palace that night. At that time, my father was just a small place. If she wanted to kill me, she would do it at that time. Without anyone noticing, there would be no disturbance."

   "Even when Dad was transferred to the capital, the empress did not stop him."

   "Your Majesty is kind, otherwise there would be no you and Ah Ning! How could you suddenly come to settle the accounts after twenty-three years?"

  Although I don't know the specific reason, but it was Wen Tingchun first, and then Wen Ning. Even if it wasn't the empress, it was easy to think that it was the Xie family who did it, not to mention that Pei You went directly to Xie's mansion after knowing about it.

   "Brother, don't panic." Wen Qi stopped him, "Most of the guards of the Duke's Mansion have gone out, so it can be seen that the eldest princess knows about this. The son has already gone to Xie's Mansion in person, and this matter should not be a big deal."

  Wen Lan naturally didn't want to make a scene.

  The dignified wife of the eldest son was taken away in the street, and if it was spread out, it would be detrimental to her reputation.

  Compared to naming festivals, he cares more about Ah Ning's life and death!

  It’s okay to only have one day, the city gate was sealed quickly, Ah Ning is definitely still in Beijing, but if no one is found tonight, can the city gate still be sealed?

  Even if it is really sealed, will the other party jump over the wall in a hurry and kill people directly?

   "This matter may not be the work of the Xie family." Wen Qi said again.

   Otherwise, Pei You wouldn't have gone all afternoon, and the search outside hadn't stopped.

   "Who else could it be?"

  Wen Qi shook his head, but he didn't know either.

   "No matter who it is, it is impossible to simply take Ah Ning's life and capture her, but if he has a plan, he will temporarily leave Ah Ning's life."

"Can…"

   "Brother, I know what you're worried about." Wen Qi pulled him to sit down, "You can't trust the prince?"

  Wen Lan shut her mouth.

  Of course he knew that Pei You cared about Wen Ning.

  When she was in Lingnan, she was worried that she would contract the epidemic, so she was locked up for more than a month.

   "Your Majesty will also think of things you can think of." Wen Qi patted Wen Lan on the shoulder, "We'll just wait here patiently."

   "Before tonight, the son will definitely handle this matter properly."

  But some people obviously don't think so.

  In the fourth prince's mansion, Chu Heng's confidant is coming to report: "Your Highness, that young master is making a lot of noise. He said in the firewood room that he wants to see the Lord, otherwise... he will bite his tongue..."

  Chu Heng did this matter covertly, and he directly silenced the two kidnappers. The people in the fourth prince's house, even if they are confidantes, only treat him as a young master who has kidnapped a delicate skin and tender flesh.

  Chu Heng was troubled in his heart, and frowned when he heard the report: "I have to ask about such trivial matters, can I get some medicine to calm her down?!"

  The man shyly said yes, and hurriedly retreated.

   "Your Highness..." Fan Liu was still persuading, "Your Highness really doesn't think about it..."

   "How is it possible!" Chu Heng scolded angrily.

  Fan Liu actually suggested that he kill Wen Ning, who had finally been captured with great difficulty.

  What did they say that they had lost the opportunity, the son is so fanfare, I am afraid that he will soon find out that this matter was done by him.

   It was beyond their expectation that Wen Ning was captured so quickly.

  Ben just ordered those two people to step on the spot, so as to wait for the opportunity to act. Not so coincidentally, on the first day of stalking, someone had the same idea as him and wanted to kidnap someone.

  The group of people happened to lure away the hidden guards around her, making it easy for them to succeed.

   It's just that Pei You reacted too quickly.

  He had just received the letter, and before he had time to deploy the next step, the city gates over there were sealed, and a large number of his hidden guards began to search the city.

   As a last resort, he brought the man to the Prince's Mansion.

  But Pei You's such a violent reaction, doesn't it just mean that he's making the right move?

  As long as he is given a chance to send people out of Beijing, set up a bureau outside Beijing, lure him out, and how he wants him to die, isn't it just a matter of his thought? !

   It seems that he is only one step away from killing Wen's A Ning. Where can he find such a good bait in the future? !

   "Fan Liu, he is still the heir of the Duke's Mansion, so he has the courage to raise so many hidden guards. Do you think he is a man without ambition?!"

   "He is already so difficult to deal with before he gains power, if..." Chu Heng paused, "Fan Liu, you know very well that once he returns, I will be worthless in front of my father!"

   "Even if he didn't check it out on the surface this time, if the person died, he wouldn't ask the bottom line? Will it make me feel better?"

  Chu Heng was not reconciled.

   Today is simply an opportunity God gave him.

  He had a hunch that if he let this time go, he would never have the possibility of bringing down Pei You in the future!

  Fan Liu hesitated and said: "Your Highness, this servant is just looking at the formation and is a little worried..."

  Pei Shizi is a bit perverted in his actions, and he is about to turn the capital upside down in just half a day, so Wen's Ah Ning is probably more than just his heart.

  If you push people into a hurry, what will happen to him next is simply unpredictable.

   "Either..." Fan Liudao, "Release him?"

   Released silently, maybe Pei Shizi will not pursue it further...

  Chu Heng laughed suddenly: "Fan Liu, you've been smart for a lifetime, but you've been confused for a while!"

   "This road has always been a winner and a loser. It's either you die or I die. How can people look forward and look back and be intimidated?!"

   "If you feel remorse, it's still too late to leave."

  Fan Liu's complexion changed, and he bowed and said, "Your Highness! This servant is confused! The servant is at your disposal!"

  Chu Heng stood up and looked at the seemingly peaceful night with his hands behind his back: "Fan Liu, even if we can't send that Wen's A Ning, we still have a chance to give it a go."

  Fan Liu respectfully said: "Your Highness, please give me instructions!"

  Chu Heng sneered: "He moved out of the Duke's mansion, and it's okay to close the city gate for half a day. If it doesn't open tomorrow, the people will definitely be full of resentment."

   "If the gates of the city are opened tomorrow, send Wen Ning out of the city immediately, and deliver a letter to the Duke's Mansion, asking him to save people alone. There will naturally be a net of people waiting for him."

   "If the gates of the city continue to be locked tomorrow, then according to what you said, we will kill Na Wen's A Ning and throw his body away."

   "This is..." Fan Liu frowned.

  Chu Heng sneered: "I'm about to lose, why don't I kill one of his people to vent my anger?"

   "If the son tonight..."

"This is the opportunity for me to tell you." Chu Heng turned around, her beautiful phoenix eyes were full of sword light, "You make arrangements, if he dares to force people to break into the prince's mansion tonight, come and kill one by one, Let's kill one pair!"

   "It would be best for him to come in person." Chu Heng bent his eyebrows and smiled, "Then my Prince's Mansion is his net!"

  Break into his prince's mansion at night, so what if he is the eldest son of the Duke's mansion?

  The sword has no eyes, and accidentally took his life, who can be blamed? ! -

  A carriage stopped at the gate of Xie's Mansion. Although his master was waiting for him, he didn't leave immediately.

  After reporting the news on the morning of the 16th, Gu Fei immediately took orders to go to the Duke's Mansion to lead people to seal the city gates, and he was replaced to drive the carriage.

  Sixteen is the most taciturn among the close guards, but also the most delicate.

  Looking at Pei You's expression, he knew that he could not find his wife, and immediately fell down.

   People are lost in his hands, and he is duty bound.

  He took out his eagle whistle and blew a long hiss.

  Tu Bai is nearby, waiting to report the latest situation to the Young Master.

   Not long after, a nimble figure sprang out from the darkness, took a short breath, and got into the carriage.

  The carriage is not lit.

  The clouds were thick, and it looked like it was going to snow, but it never fell.

   Instead, the moon revealed half of its face, and together with the candlelight in front of Xie's mansion, there was some light in the carriage.

"My lord, there are only officials of the third rank and above in the court who have not searched the house, and have not found any traces of my wife." Although Tu Bai's voice was low, it was very clear from inside the carriage, "Miss Linglan didn't see the captor's face, No trace has been found. No special letter has been received by the government."

   There is no good news, but Pei You's complexion is not as cold as when he was in the Xie Mansion, and he can even faintly see that he is relieved.

  His thoughts are actually the same as Wen Qi's.

   As long as it's not Xie Chang Yuan.

  Xie Changyuan wanted Wen Ning's life to create a gap between him and Emperor Jiahe.

   may differ from others.

  As long as it is someone other than Xie Chang Yuan, kidnapping Wen Ning must be aimed at him.

  Before the goal is achieved, Wen Ning's life will not be easily taken.

   "My lord, do you want to continue searching?" Tu Bai asked.

  Pei You turned the wrench on his hand calmly: "No need."

  Tu Bai looked up in surprise.

   "I can guess where she is."

   It's not Xie Changyuan, only Chu Heng.

  Even Zhaohe knew about that matter, it was not unexpected that Chu Heng could get the news.

  The search with great fanfare before was just to let him know the value of Wen Ning, which made him reluctant to act rashly against Wen Ning.

   "Son, it's..."

   "Chu Heng."

  Tu Bai immediately said: "My lord, those white-collar workers are going to the fourth prince's mansion..."

   "No need." Before Tu Bai finished speaking, Pei You said.

  Tu Bai was puzzled: "Then... what should I do then? Please tell me clearly!"

  Pei You lowered his brows and eyes, the warm yellow candles at the gate of Xie Mansion did not add any warmth to his face, on the contrary it made his face half-bright, making him look extraordinarily perverse.

   "If you don't cut the grass, things like this will happen again and again." He snorted lightly, "After all, I am lazy."

  The brow on the side hidden in the dark raised slightly: "Whatever he is afraid of, let his fear come true."

  Tu Bai didn't understand what Pei You was talking about.

  But he has been with Pei You for a long time, knowing that under his extreme calm at this moment, he must be extremely angry.

   He held his breath and didn't ask much.

   "Tubai, go and get rid of everyone." Pei You said lightly, "It's getting late at night, and the common people should be kept clean."

   In vain said yes.

   "Send all the people to the city gates to lurk, not even a cat is allowed to pass."

"yes!"

   "Go to Wen Mansion and take Wen Lan out, and ask him to wait for me at the gate of the palace."

"yes!"

   "Let's go."

  Tu Bai moved as fast as a ghost, and disappeared without a trace.

   There was a moment of silence in the carriage, and then Shiliu heard an order: "Xiuu, go to the palace."

  At this time, in the Hall of Qinzheng, Princess Ronghua was discussing matters with Emperor Jiahe.

  Emperor Jiahe was naturally aware of such a big commotion on Chang'an Avenue, and Rong Hua had already handed in a letter before he could ask anyone to ask.

  So many lives have been lost before, no matter whether Pei You is a false favorite of Na Wen's A Ning or a real love of Na Wutong Lane's concubine, Rong Hua feels that he must never lose another life.

  I thought that Emperor Jiahe would intervene in this matter immediately, but after waiting for an afternoon, Chang'an Street was still full of people, and Pei You still hadn't come out of Xie's mansion.

  In the evening, she couldn't sit still and entered the palace.

  Rong Hua explained the matter again in detail, but Emperor Jiahe just shook his head.

   "Rong Hua, you still don't understand that guy's style of work? If he did what he did, he would have been up and down a long time ago, and it won't be delayed until this hour."

   "His own person, he has to figure out a way for himself, I can't protect him for the rest of his life."

   "Every man is innocent, but he is guilty. In the current situation, he should think clearly about how to make a choice."

   Just as he was saying this, Fan Zeng called outside the door: "Your Majesty."

   Emperor Jiahe raised his voice: "What's the matter?"

  Fan Zeng replied: "Pei Shizi is seeking an audience outside the palace."
