Keyboard Immortal Chapter 1014: In a hurry for delivery
To protect these big men, although there are many guards, the most intimate ones are relatively fixed, usually a small group of people working in three shifts.
These people are carefully selected, and their cultivation is the second most important, mainly because they are innocent, loyal and reliable.
Of course, those who can be selected in the end cannot be too low in cultivation.
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 other party's remnant soul at that time, and he didn't know it. The specific identity of the guard.
But if nothing else happens, the other party should be one of Duke Yunzhong's personal guards. The guards on the outside don't have the ability to understand the secrets, and they don't have enough loyalty to risk their lives to ask for help.
"A member of the bodyguard class?" Gong Pan was taken aback, obviously curious about his purpose, but nodded, "Okay, I'll write a copy for you."
He found a pen and paper, and while he was 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..."
Zuan nodded to show his understanding, just like some companies in the previous life, the next leader will usually dismiss the cheerleader of the previous year and replace it with a brand new one...
"Where are all these people now?" Zaun asked curiously as he took the list.
"A few people came with me to my wife's place. Others were disheartened and went back to seclusion. Others stayed in the Governor's Mansion, and eventually they were gradually marginalized and moved to other places." Gong Pan explained stand up.
Zuan patted him on the shoulder in consolation. It is truly saddening that the once glorious Duke's Mansion has come to such an end.
At this time, Gong Pan suddenly kneeled and bowed to him: "Master Zu, please find out the truth of our county prince's disappearance, and give justice to everyone."
"Get up quickly." Zaun hurriedly helped him up. "This is my duty, and I will do my best."
Whether it's for the mission, or the friendship with Yu Yanluo, or to solve the doubts in his heart, he must find out the truth of the matter.
…
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 worry too much. We went to the Duke's Palace to check before. According to the people there, Madam Yu has not been seen for a long time. It's not aimed at 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. He held back a smile and hugged his shoulder to comfort him: "Brother, we all know that you are very attractive, but Yu Yanluo is a woman. No entry..."
Zuan 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, where did you go?"
Zuan was taken aback: "Of course it's Jade Yanluo, where else can I enter?"
"Impossible? Madam Yu hasn't been seen for several months, not even the acting governor Jian Taiding. How could it be possible to see you?" In front of so many people, the elder brother was a little embarrassed, and he said this on purpose. After all, none of us can confirm whether he has entered or not, and no one else can enter anyway.
Zuan spread his hands: "Didn't I say, I'm friends with her and have a deep friendship."
Sang Hong was also a little skeptical at first. After all, he had heard of it back then, and even the emperor had closed the door when he wanted to see Yu Yanluo.
However, he thought that Zaan was not the kind of open mouthed temperament, and hurriedly asked: "Azu, have you really met Madam Jade? 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. Naturally, she can't reveal these secrets for any reason, in case she is used by the bad guys to harm herself.
"In addition, she doesn't seem to live with Duke Yunzhong, and they live separately for a long time."
He even suspects that there is something wrong with their relationship between husband and wife, but such speculation is not spoken.
"You've found out about such a secret thing?" The others were shocked. They searched the Duke's Mansion for half a day. Although Yu Yanluo didn't live there, they thought it was because of Duke Yunzhong. She only returned to Yu's house after her disappearance, but she didn't expect the two to separate before her disappearance.
"In addition, a small part of the people around Duke Yunzhong have followed Madam Yu, and the others have been attracted by Jian Taiding..." Zu An will explain the situation from Gong Pan.
Now no one doubts that he met Yu Yanluo anymore, Gao Ying hesitated, but Pei You was much more direct and hugged Zu An directly: "Brother Zu, no, Master, accept me as a disciple Let's go!"
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?
However, Azu's female 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 is considered to be both talented and beautiful, whether she is compared with the eldest Miss Chu family or Yu Yanluo, she has no advantage. It is our unique advantage to be able to help Dan'er more.
Seeing that many people asked Zuan for advice on how to win the favor of women, Sang Hong finally came back to his senses and coughed lightly: "Let's get down to business first, we just visited Jian Yanyou's housekeeper at the Duke's Mansion, he Some of the information disclosed can corroborate with what you mentioned, Azu, but it is far less detailed than what you have come here."
He is also a little depressed when it comes to this. There are many capable officials in their group, but the combined harvest is not as good as what Zuan alone can get.
It's no wonder that the lady line is popular in the officialdom. In this regard, I also need to find an opportunity to ask Azu for advice.
"Sir Sang is serious, and your role is also very important. One thing needs to be understood from different channels, otherwise it is easy to listen to partial beliefs."
Hearing Zaun say this, 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 How should this case proceed?"
Zuan 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 parts of 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, servants and guards of the duke's mansion at that time, but also people from the governor's mansion, the county governor's mansion, and maybe some 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 dead, he will definitely leave various marks when he comes to this world. Starting from the relationship around him, see if he can Find out what."
Sang Hong nodded secretly, Azu's thoughts were really clear, and he clarified the whole mess in a few words: "It's so good, Gao Ying and Pei You will be in charge of the exploration site, and this official will ask all the people's information. Testimony; Azu is responsible for investigating the information about the guard."
Gao Ying is thoughtful, and Pei You is a clever man, so it is perfect for the two of them to cooperate in the investigation of the scene; the second way needs to deal with the officialdom of Yunzhong County, the weight of the others is obviously not enough, so he can only go out; as for the silent guard , and it was Zaun who knew it best.
In addition, he wanted to arrange for someone to watch Prince Qi's side, but he learned that Zaan had arranged for Xiao Jianren to go there. He was satisfied with 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.
Looking admiringly at the chest of the young lady on the table, the maid said, "Miss, is there anything you are happy about recently? Her complexion is much better than before."
"Is that so?" Pei Mianman stroked her face, looking at the beautiful face in the mirror, she couldn't help laughing madly.
"Miss has been laughing 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 soft that the comb could slide directly to the ground when put on it. Dry and knotted.
"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 the Prince of Qi is quite interested in the young lady, these days he runs to the house every three days, and all kinds of snacks, rouge, and jewelry are delivered. , how long will miss to hang him, I think it's almost the same, after all, he is the prince of the royal family, it would not be good if he annoyed him."
From her point of view, the young lady has been avoiding her for a long time, mostly because she is trying to play hard to catch, but this is about a degree, and the heat should be almost the same now.
"No!" Pei Mianman was a little irritable, but what he thought was the unconscionable one. He didn't come for several days after taking advantage of that day. Men are really big pig hoofs, and they don't know how to cherish them. .
"Will this offend the Prince of Qi, and it's also very embarrassing for the old man 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 didn't take the favor of Prince Qi to persuade me for him, did you?"
"No, 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 and sickly maid to serve.
Because her complexion is not very good, Pei Mianman often saves her share of red dates to replenish her qi and blood, and over time, she simply named her red dates.
Later, as Pei Mianman grew up, her peerless appearance began to appear, and the Pei family gradually began to pay attention to it. She refused to send her a maid.
The two masters and servants have been dependent on each other for many years, and the red dates are also grateful, and they are always thinking of their own masters.
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 Pei's 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 chatting with the master about the imperial mission. The master is a little hesitant to ask the young lady to go out and do something. That prince is really outrageous. Miss, you haven't married yet, so I want to instruct you to do things..."
Before she finished speaking, Pei Mianman stood up: "What? Take me to the living room."
