Chapter 021: Beware
(Today is the beginning of the new year, I wish you all the best!This week is the last week of the new book list, please continue to support!Thank you!)
Pei Ding's eyes rolled, and he asked casually: "Shang He, that Meng family girl, you talk to me, and I'll help you pay attention to it by the way." ”
Hearing him say this, Ye Yong replied with a smile: "That girl is in her twenties, the fourth in the family, and she looks ......."
Ye Yong's description was not detailed, all because he had never seen the Meng family girl, and these descriptions were still said by other officials of the Criminal Department.
Pei Ding nodded and said, "With such simple information, it is not easy to find such a girl." Are you sure she came to Wenzhou? It's a long way from Jizhou to Wenzhou. ”
Ye Yong is very sure of this. Otherwise, he would not have traveled thousands of miles to Hedong. It's just that Pei Ding is right, a girl with no characteristics is like a drop of water in the sea, it is difficult to find.
Besides, the girl of the Meng family was able to escape from Jizhou, this is a smart person. Perhaps, it's not just smart, maybe someone else can help.
If this is the case, he will find this girl even more, not only for the sake of Wang Ling, but also for the Ye family.
Pei Ding still had that lazy expression, but he was sure in his heart: Sure enough, what the court was looking for was the girl Meng who appeared at the west gate of the Xue Palace.
That Meng girl, he didn't remember her appearance very well, but he heard it clearly, she claimed to be the fourth in the family, Meng Siniang.
Meng Siniang...... He had already determined that the girl Meng was Meng Ruitu's granddaughter. It's either too stupid or too clever to show people by their real names while on the run.
It is important to know that some people cannot be deceived, and telling the truth will be of greater help. When Meng Siniang introduced herself, did she have such sensitivity?
What's more, the one who took in Meng Siniang was Miss Zheng from the Yongning Marquis Mansion.
It is related to Miss Zheng again. In the end, does Miss Zheng know Meng Siniang's identity, or is it a momentary compassion?
The difference is too great. He'll have to figure it out.
He smiled and asked again, "Shang He, Meng Ruitu has been dead for more than three years. The Meng family folded a group of people back then, why do they want to kill them all now?"
Although Ye Yong is only a member of the Criminal Department, receiving this royal decree means that Jinshang is not an ordinary trust in the Ye family. Maybe there is some news, the Ye family is already clear, but the Pei family in Hedong is not yet certain.
Hearing these words, Ye Yong sighed, embarrassed: "Qianqiu, it's not that I don't want to tell the truth. But this matter is very important, and you have no intention of becoming a leader, so it is better to get involved less. ”
After a pause, he continued: "In my opinion, it is more appropriate for you to send one of them. ”
These words are his sincere advice and a subtle reminder. In other words, if you are an ordinary family, let alone three generations, it doesn't matter if you are five or seven generations.
But the Pei family is not an ordinary family, but a family of prime ministers, and its children are generals and prime ministers, how can the court rest assured?
In just one year, the emperor successively changed the Hedong Observation Envoy and the Wenzhou Assassin History, which is already a sign. However, the Pei family is still very calm, and the children of Yanzhi still have no plans to become officials.
How could a family like the Pei family not know what the change of officialdom in Hedong meant? If there is no movement, it is just that it is not as determined as the emperor wants.
It's a good thing for a family to keep quiet, but to this extent it's a bit too much. Hitting a stone with an egg is too unwise.
Ye Yong couldn't understand the situation of the Pei family, even his grandfather Ye Xian shook his head when he mentioned the Pei family, and sighed: "Pei Guang is really strong!"
Ye Yong thought to himself: Since I came to Hedong, I have to remind me, as for whether the Pei family will listen to it, that is another matter.
At this moment, Pei Ding smiled, picked up the teacup and saluted Ye Yong: "Shanghe, you have a heart." Ji Yong's whereabouts, I will tell you as soon as I have news. ”
He could see that Ye Yong's reminder was sincere, and he would definitely inform him of Ji Yong's whereabouts if he accepted this love.
But about Meng Siniang, Pei Ding had doubts in his heart.
News came from the birds in the family before, although the matter of the Meng family being eradicated is not very accurate, but it also shows a hint, that is, the Meng family is destroyed, not only today's idea.
After the Empress Dowager Liping, the most important thing today is the Wang family, the Xie family and the Ye family, and the Meng family, whether there is the handwriting of these three families is still unknown. - He didn't dare to take this matter lightly, so he didn't tell Meng Siniang.
So, he thought for a while and said, "Don't talk about these things, it's rare for you to come to Hedong, and I will definitely treat you well." In a few days, I will have a banquet at home, thinking that you will catch the wind and wash the dust. ”
Ye Yong said with a smile: "You Pei Qianqiu are invited, of course I want to go, but not these days." I have been ordered by the king, and I will also go to observe the embassy and the assassin's mansion. In addition, I also want to go to Yudong School Palace to see, and the banquet will be late. ”
He went to observe the Embassy Mansion and the Assassin's Mansion, of course, for the sake of such a serious matter as the Meng family. As for personal relationships, of course, you can take a step back.
Pei Ding completely understood this, but some things suddenly appeared in his mind, as if the ghost was a god, he actually asked such a sentence: "Go to assassinate Shifu, wouldn't Yuan Zan and others know about it?"
Yuan Zan is the history of Wenzhou's assassination. For this person who was helped up by the Pei family, Pei Ding was very relieved. The sudden thing in his mind turned out to be that Wenzhou didn't drive Zheng Chao from the Yongning Marquis Mansion.
The situation of the Marquis of Yongning, Pei Ding knows a little about it. If Zheng Chao knew that there was such a Meng girl, would he think of the people around Miss Zheng by the way? How can a strange maid appear in a Hou Mansion, how can it attract attention, right?
In this way, things are troublesome. Meng Siniang is involved in the confidant of the Empress Dowager Li Ping, if the matter of Miss Zheng will spread the news of Hongzhuti again, these two facts are related to the Empress Dowager Li Ping, then ......
Miss Zheng is in danger!
Pei Ding's heart froze slightly, and he didn't understand why he cared so much about a girl's safety. Perhaps, is it because of Hongzhu Body? Or is it because of Meng Siniang?
He didn't know it, his face sank, and he unconsciously looked out the window, but his eyes immediately froze.
Outside Qianhui Tower, a slender lilac figure turned into an alley, followed by a servant woman and a maid beside her, and a few people behind her were dotted with their whereabouts, looking sneaky.
This is Miss Zheng, the Miss Zheng he was still thinking about just now.
Seeing him like this, Ye Yong moved his mind back from Yuan Zan and asked curiously, "Qianqiu, what's wrong with you? ”
After he said that, he followed Pei Ding's gaze and looked out, but he didn't find anything, and he was even more curious.
Pei Ding refilled the tea for him, and then replied: "I'm looking at those homeless people." Yuan Zan has already resettled a large number of displaced people, but there are still so many people. It seems that the situation in Kanwai Province is too bad. ”
Do you lose your mind? It turns out that you are out of your mind.
Miss Zheng has already turned into the alley, and she can't see anything. These homeless people, Pei Ding noticed it, and now they say it, although they want to cover up their distraction, and they also want to discuss the situation of Guanwaidao with Ye Yong.
Ye Yong didn't have much interest in such a topic, and replied happily: "Guanwaidao is not very good, and it's not a matter of two or three months. The imperial court has its own way to deal with such a thing. By the way, what you asked just now is nothing, I just said that I am looking for such a person, and not many people know the identity. ”
In this matter, Ye Yong is very clear. Anyone who knows that someone in the Meng family has fled, must know who he is looking for, and this cannot be concealed.
Coincidentally, he believed that not many people dared to touch the affairs of the Meng family, and even if he knew, he could only assume that he didn't know. Observing that there were people in the court when Xie Li was in charge, they might know the truth about his royal order, but other people, officials like Yuan Zhan, were not so well-informed.
Pei Ding nodded in response, but his face was still serious.
Since Ye Yong didn't care, then it was not good for him to say anything. Zheng Chao, sooner or later, he will know about Miss Meng, which should be a disaster.
Before that, he had to do something.
Soon, Ye Yong said that he had something important to do, and then left Qianhui Tower. Pei Ding, with his subordinates, was still sitting by the window on the fourth floor, staring closely at the alley where Zheng Heng turned around.
The alley next to Qianhui Building, he remembered, was sealed, and there was no other exit.
