Chapter 307： Looking for someone

No matter what, she will never let go of those who harm her in this life.

Han Yueniang, Pei Shixian, and the heroine Chen Tiantian, she remembered this grudge today. If she didn't make them pay the price, she would have wasted her life in this world.

Yingbao looked around and walked towards what looked like a village in the distance.

Autumn insects were whispering, and the late autumn dew quickly wet her trouser legs, shoes and socks.

Yingbao walked to a threshing floor with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

There are several piles of straw here, just enough for her to stay.

Pull out the straw little by little, dig out a cave from the haystack, and Yingbao gets in.

She took out a blanket from the cave and wrapped it around herself, and ate something casually. She slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

In her sleep, many pictures flew by like a revolving lantern, all of which she had never seen before.

But when she woke up, all the images left no trace.

It was already broad daylight, but the threshing floor was a little far away from the villagers' homes, so no one had noticed her yet.

Yingbao put away the blanket, ate something more, and prepared to go out and take a look.

At this moment, a peasant woman came over to pull hay. Suddenly she saw a little baby in white with disheveled hair hiding in the haystack, and she was startled.

“Hey, mother! Where did Hu Daxian come from?” The woman screamed and ran all the way out before she stopped.

Ying Bao scratched his messy hair and found that a handful was missing, which made him even more angry.

She wanted to speak, but couldn't make a sound and was stunned.

Did Pei Shi poison himself first?

Ying Bao frowned, got out of the haystack and gestured at the peasant woman, and even took out his badge and waved it.

The waist tag is engraved with the words "Yin Yang Department of Qinchuan County Medical Department", and her name is also on the back.

Although the peasant woman was illiterate, she understood. She walked up and asked, "Which family are you from? Why are you hiding here?"

Ying Bao blinked in frustration and looked at the peasant woman pitifully.

She wanted to find a literate person. After explaining the situation, she asked them to send her to Fucheng to find the master.

The peasant woman looked sorry when she saw that she could not speak. "It turns out he is mute, no wonder he is living here."

After pulling a bundle of straw, the peasant woman carried the straw on her back and headed home.

Yingbao thought for a while and followed.

Soon the villagers gathered around and asked a lot of questions.

Finally, after discovering that she couldn't speak, they all shook their heads and sighed, "It's so pitiful that she is mute."

Ying Bao had no choice but to take out his waist card and wave it.

Finally, someone came forward, took the badge in her hand and looked through it: "Qinchuan County, Medical Department, Yin and Yang Department, Jiang Yingbao, yo, it turns out he is a medical student from out of town."

When Ying Bao saw that this man could read, he nodded repeatedly and used a branch to write on the ground for him to read.

"Send me to Fucheng and reward you with ten taels of silver." The man murmured, and the people around him were in an uproar.

Someone hurriedly said: "I have a bullock cart at home, I can take you there!"

The other person was not happy: "My family also has an ox cart, so don't go too far, five dogs." The one reading was his brother. The young gentleman was talking to his brother, and it was not the turn of anyone else to interrupt.

Finally, Yingbao got on an ox cart and drove slowly to Fucheng.

Yesterday, the capital city of Luzhou was in chaos.

Every house and pier was forcibly searched. After no results, more than a hundred people rushed into Mr. Yin Yang Pei's house and turned it upside down from the inside out.

After that, a few who dared to resist were beaten up.

In the evening, the gate of Xiao's house was surrounded by more than a hundred Taoist priests.

Zhou Wuchang walked slowly to the door and said to the guard guard: "Please come out and speak, Xiao Yushi."

When the guards saw this battle, they did not dare to hesitate and hurried in to report to their master. Not long after, Xiao Weizhong appeared, glanced at the people below the steps, and asked: "What do you mean by this?"

Zhou Wuchang held Fuchen in his hand and said coldly: "Official Xiao is so talented that he allowed his retainers to take away my disciple. Zhou has never asked Official Xiao what he meant."

Xiao Weizhong frowned, "Master Zhou, what do you mean?"

Zhou Wuchang took a step forward and said sternly: "Pei Shi, a retainer of the Xiao family, committed murder in the street and kidnapped my disciple to practice witchcraft. If anything happens to my disciple, Zhou will sue the Jinluan Palace and make them pay for their blood." Pay!”

After saying that, with a wave of his hand, several Taoist priests came over with Pei Shixian's family on their backs and kicked them down at the door of Xiao's house.

Some of these people are Pei Shixian's children, and some are his concubines.

One of them was held by the wet nurse, and it was Han Yueniang’s baby.

Xiao Weizhong frowned: "Did Master Zhou misunderstand? How could Pei Shixian take away your disciple?"

"Someone saw with their own eyes that the person who robbed people was your retainer Pei Shixian. Did Official Xiao want to protect the criminals?" Zhou Wuchang's face showed frost.

"This..." Xiao Weizhong was a little puzzled: "But why did Pei Shixian take away your apprentice?"

Zhou Wuchang: "You should ask your retainers what Xiao Daguan said."

Xiao Weizhong:…

He looked at the children of the Pei family who were lying on the ground shivering, and asked: "Pei Dalang, where is your father?"

Pei Dalang's teeth chattered and he stammered: "Father went out early in the morning, and we don't know where he went."

Xiao Weizhong asked again: "Do you know who he went out with?"

He wanted to excuse Pei Shi first and find someone to accompany him so that he could defend him later, but a woman said first:

"I know! My husband took Han out of the city. He said he was going to pay homage to the dead outside the city, and he also took her oil bottle with him."

This middle-aged woman is Pei Shixian's concubine. She has always been resentful that the Han family came to the throne and became the husband's wife. She also enjoys the husband's favor. Even the oil bottle she brought is regarded as his own by the husband. , it’s really annoying.

Originally, my son was the eldest son, and in the future, the eldest son would also inherit the family property.

As a result, the old man had a whim and married the Han family as a wife. The Han family also gave birth to a son and took the status of his legitimate son.

As a result, the concubine of the Pei family will not be allowed to live in the ancestral home when they get married, let alone inherit the family business.

"Then do you know where they went out of the city?" Xiao Weizhong's expression became more solemn.

If one of his own retainers really commits robbery, he, the supervisory censor, would not even think about it. It is estimated that the impeachment scandal will drown out the emperor's censorship.

The woman shook her head: "I don't know."

The people watching around first whispered, and then shouted loudly:

"Such a bad person! Xiao Yushi actually wants to protect him, please hand him over!"

“Hand over Pei Shixian!”

“Dare to rob young children! The national law cannot tolerate it!”

Upon seeing this, the staff around Xiao Weizhong quickly echoed: "Mr. Lang, this matter is not trivial. We need to find out the truth quickly."

Zhou Wuchang has a high prestige among the people, and his followers can be said to be spread all over the country.

Although Xiao Weizhong holds a high position, he has nothing to do with Taoist successors like Zhou Wuchang.

Unable to do so, he had no choice but to order his men to take people to find Pei Shixian and be sure to bring him back for questioning.

On the other side, as soon as Pei Shixian entered the city, he was intercepted by the Wei family guards.

The leader was familiar with Pei Shi. He looked at the carriage with a smile and asked, "Where is Mr. Pei going?"

Pei Shi first raised his hand to him and said, "Pei is just leaving the city for a trip. Is there something wrong with Manager Feng stopping the car?"

Manager Feng smiled slightly: "Of course something happened. Hey, you didn't know that Master Zhou's apprentice has disappeared and is leading people all over the world to look for kidnappers."

As he spoke, he glanced towards the carriage: "I wonder if Mr. Pei has seen it?"
