Chapter 318: Zuo Xiangfu
Cheng Yu's strange appearance made Xu Yan puzzled for a while, and the silence of the old man indicated that something big happened five years ago that ordinary people did not know about. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Have you also discovered the difference between the Pang family...... Cheng Yu's voice said with a kind of regret: "Five years ago, a major event did happen in the capital, there were very few people in the know, I was not in the court back then, and I only learned about it after returning to Beijing, it should not have been publicized, since you asked, it is good to tell you, at least let you know a little more about the Pang family, however, remember not to spread this news, and you can't say it to anyone." ”
"Can you talk to my lady?" asked Xu Yan cheekily.
"No, you can't. Cheng Yu's answer was categorical: "Unless Pang Wanli tells the truth to his children in person, you can't say it, and you can't mention a word." ”
"Okay, Zhijian knows, I won't pass on the secret. Xu Yan got up and replied.
Seeing Xu Yan's expression become solemn, Cheng Yu said in a low voice: "On Chinese New Year's Eve five years ago, the Criminal Department lost a batch of Shenwu cannons. ”
Suddenly hearing the Shenwu cannon, Xu Yan was suddenly stunned, he had already guessed something, and the delicate eyebrows began to lock slowly.
"That is a batch of Shenwu artillery to be transported out of the capital, the number is very large, escorting the Shenwu cannon, it is the Qian Zong Pang family, that is also the first task after Pang Wanli became the owner, but overnight, the Shenwu cannon and Shenwu bullet completely disappeared without a trace, just took the position of the owner Pang Wanli fell into a dereliction of duty, the first emperor was furious, to condemn the Pang family, and then was suppressed, and this matter, it became a headless case, there is still no clue. ”
Referring to the shocking case five years ago, Cheng Yu's face was always gloomy, and a huge number of Shenwu cannons and Shenwu bullets would pose an immeasurable threat to Dapu once they fell into the hands of the enemy.
"I am afraid that the only one who can suppress such a big case is the ancestor of the Pang family. Xu Yan whispered, and Cheng Yu nodded.
It turned out that Pang Feiyan was in charge of the Pang family, not only to protect the descendants of the Pang family, but also to have such an inside story, Xu Yan finally learned why the Pang family always seemed to lack confidence in the face of the Xu Wan family, and Pang Wanli was still silent even though he knew that his daughter was almost killed.
The Pang family owes the royal family a batch of Shenwu cannons, as long as the batch of Shenwu cannons that were lost five years ago are not recovered, Pang Wanli will never be able to straighten his waist.
Hearing the news, Xu Yan was shocked and began to be more and more confused.
He remembered Pang Hongyue's mother, the woman who died of illness on Chinese New Year's Eve five years ago.
Could it be that those divine weapons cannons have something to do with my mother-in-law?
Xu Yan thought of this, and found that there were really a lot of secrets in the four major families of the Qian Sect, the Xu family colluded with the paper door, the wife of the head of the Pang family may be a traitor, and those wealthy families with deep family backgrounds are really not simple.
Cheng Yu told Xu Yan the news, obviously with a kind of concern from the elders, let Xu Yan know more about the secrets of the Pang family, it may be of some benefit to Xu Yan who is in the Pang family, even if it is useless, it can also make Xu Yan more vigilant.
Cheng Yu's kindness, Xu Yan understood, after thanking the old man, Xu Yan was just about to say goodbye, and the housekeeper of the Cheng family hurriedly walked in, but he even forgot to knock on the door, and it seemed that he had lost his senses.
"Master, there's still no news, little miss......"
As soon as the housekeeper spoke, he found that there were guests, and the second half of the sentence was swallowed again, but Cheng Yu waved his hand with a calm face and asked the housekeeper to retreat.
"Old man, what's wrong with Wan'er?"
As soon as the housekeeper went out, Xu Yan asked suspiciously, since he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he always felt that something was wrong with the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and before Cheng Yu could speak, someone stumbled in outside the door.
"Dad, it's been a day and a night, will Wan'er be plundered out of the city by gangsters?"
The person who came was in his forties, and the official robe on his body was already dirty and messy, and he looked a little similar to Cheng Yu, it was the eldest son of Zuo Xiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Cheng Shou.
Since Cheng Linyun went out yesterday, he has never returned, and the Cheng family sent his family to look for him, but after a day and a night of searching, not even half of Cheng Linyun's shadow was found, and last night Mileage Yu even used the master of the criminal department to track down the whereabouts of his granddaughter, and now there is still no news.
Cheng Shou is Cheng Linyun's father, Cheng Yu's eldest son, he only has such a daughter as Cheng Linyun, if he loses his daughter, he will be the last, the Ministry of Rites is just an idle job, Cheng Shou can't use too many manpower, so he can only count on the old father, since last night, he has run to Cheng Yu's study no less than ten times.
As soon as Cheng Shou came, Xu Yan understood why Cheng Yu seemed anxious, it turned out that the little lady of the Cheng family was lost.
"Tianmen Hou?" Cheng Shou recognized Xu Yan at a glance, so he looked a little embarrassed, straightened his official robe, and arched his hand: "I don't know if the Hou Ye is here, forgive your sins." ”
After all, Xu Yan has a candidate, although he is the marquis of Qi State, but the officials of Dapu can't go too far, especially Cheng Shou is the secretary of the Ministry of Etiquette, nothing else, he is very proficient in etiquette.
Xu Yan got up and arched his hand, greeted Cheng Shou, then looked at Cheng Yu and asked, "Old man, when did the little lady get lost, and where did she go before?"
Cheng Yu is not thin on Xu Yan, and Cheng Linyun is Xu Yan's playmate, even if he doesn't look at the face of Zuo Xiangfu, he has to try his best to help find it, and the daughter of Zuo Xiangfu is lost like this, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious.
"The little girl went to the Li family's courtyard yesterday, and the people of the Li family also saw Wan'er, but when she entered the city, she never returned home. Cheng Shou was full of anxiety, and without waiting for his father to speak, he spoke first: "It's been a day and a night, Wan'er must have been plundered by gangsters, even if they ask for money, my family would rather break the wealth and eliminate the disaster, for fear that they will kill them, then Wan'er will not be saved!"
Cheng Shou is not as steady as Cheng Yu, he is already out of proportion, he is now in a hurry to go to the doctor, grabbed Xu Yan and begged: "Tianmen Hou, you have the identity of a Taiqing mage, help the lower officials find a daughter, I am such a daughter, I will marry the Li family in the New Year, what if I am damaged by a villain!"
Cheng Yu wanted to scold his eldest son, and begged for someone to catch him, but the old man didn't say anything after all, because he was just as anxious as himself.
The eldest son is unbearable, Cheng Yu has long known that he has a total of three sons, the second son and the younger son guard the border respectively, and the eldest son is mediocre, and he can be regarded as an idle official of the Ministry of Rites, but for Cheng Linyun, the eldest granddaughter, Cheng Yu is extremely favoritous, otherwise he would not have taken Cheng Linyun with him to teach when he lived in seclusion in Linshan Town.
"Master Cheng, don't worry, Ben Hou will help you find your daughter. ”
Xu Yan arched his hand, didn't say much to Cheng Shou, turned around and said goodbye to Zuo Xiang, and left Zuo Xiang's mansion.
In the land of the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Cheng Linyun is the granddaughter of Zuo Xiang, if this matter is said to be done by those street ruffians, Xu Yan will not believe it.
The little thief definitely didn't have the guts to rob Zuo Xiang's granddaughter, so the one who took Cheng Linyun away could only be those big thieves, in Xu Yan's opinion, there are not many biggest thieves in the capital, and they can be counted on their fingers, and the most suspicious one is too puritan.
