Chapter 32 The Desperate Search for an Heir

Let's say that Qi Mei heard what the Wen Po said, and learned that Zheng Jinlian's child was abandoned by her in the water lily and went down the imperial river, and now the little prince should have been taken away and adopted by the people on both sides of the river, so she took some people out of the palace to secretly investigate, and wanted to bring the child back to the palace, replacing Zhu Houzhao. No Eight NoΒ§?δΈ€ No中卐文No网 '、-.

Imagine that there are hundreds of families on both sides of the royal river outside the imperial city, and it is not easy to find a child, let alone the current situation. Since the person with a heart takes the child away, he must like it, and if he rashly asks the child back, I am afraid it is not appropriate.

Moreover, this matter is extremely secretive, and it is impossible to leak the slightest rumor.

Qi Mei's men went out of the palace to look for it after lunch, and by the next evening, they had searched hundreds of families on both sides of the royal river from house to house, but there was no trace of the child.

She thought that the child was taken away from the water lily, and that the uninformed person must think that the child was not born an ordinary person, so that the child must also be a little famous.

It's impossible to think about it, isn't that stable woman lying to her!

"Auntie!"

She had sent three teams of men, two of whom had returned, and now that this team had returned, she had pinned all her hopes on them.

"How? What did you find? Seeing that the three of them were coming back, Qi Mei hurriedly approached to ask.

However, the leader just lowered his eyes, shook his head gloomily, and said nothing.

Qi Mei suddenly became angry in her heart, glanced at them, turned sideways to stop looking at them, and scolded: "Useless things!"

As soon as the words fell, the original inner supervisor suddenly ran over and said, "Auntie, there is still a family at the bottom of the river."

When she heard this, she immediately turned around, and followed the inner eunuch downstream.

When I found it downstream, I really saw that there was a family not far ahead, but this family was not on either side of the royal river. It is not an exaggeration that they left this house out.

At this point, a group of people stopped outside the door, looking at the two closed doors. Naturally, I was nervous, this was the last family.

If there is no such thing, then this child will be difficult to find.

The inner supervisor saw that everyone stood still, in order to invite merit. He stepped forward, and just raised his hand to knock on the door, but Qi Mei stopped him and said, "I'll come."

Hearing the inner eunuch's hand, he stopped, turned around and retreated, waiting for Qi Mei to come over. Qi Mei stood in front of the door, at first let out a long breath, and then gently slammed the door.

I only heard a man scolding him impatiently and asked, "Who!"

She opened her mouth and was about to answer, but the door was opened. Eighty-one? -、、.' caught his eye was a middle-aged man with a beard, full of alcohol, which made people feel a little unappetizing.

It's really a coincidence to say that the man with a beard and a drunken body in Qi Mei's eyes is Zhu Houzhao's father-in-law of the nursing mother Tian. Although Qi Mei has never seen him, but his wife, she has seen him countless times, but even so, what is the use. Qi Mei didn't know, so the fate of this person was still unexpected.

Tian Xianggong saw this big trip, and his head sobered up in an instant. He asked in a daze, "You, are you...... The people in the palace? ”

Qi Mei was stunned when she heard this, her dress was still a little different from the people in the palace, not to mention that the people behind her did not look like people in the palace at all, why did this person recognize it so quickly. Isn't there another reason! She nodded at him and smiled slightly, "Yes."

Tian Xianggong was a little uneasy, it would be good if he didn't know that the child he sold a few days ago was the prince, but now that he knows, then he can no longer be stable, he still pretends to be calm, and sneered: "Is there something wrong?"

She went straight to the point and asked, "Oh, I wanted to ask you, did you ever see a baby boy coming out of a water lily in late autumn last year?"

Tian Xianggong was naturally frightened, and said, "Sleep...... I haven't seen the child in the water lily, so you should go to another house and inquire. ”

Qi Mei has always been very observant, but now seeing this person's panicked look, she noticed the abnormality, but there are some things, not to break it, but to have a way to continue, she bowed slightly, smiled as before, and said, "Oh, it's bothering."

After saying that, Qi Mei turned around, Tian Xianggong saw that they were leaving, and hurriedly closed the door, at that time, Qi Mei also turned back abruptly, and said in a low voice, "Rush in", and everyone rushed up when they heard this.

Thinking that this Tian Xianggong had just closed the door, he hadn't had time to bolt at this time, when he saw them rushing over, he hurriedly picked up the bolt, and was about to catch it, but he was still a step too late, he was frightened, and shouted: "What are you doing!" What are you doing! ”

Qi Mei thought he was disgusting, and she didn't want to deal with him, so she just glanced at him coldly, and then turned her face away, and ordered her entourage: "Search for me!"

"Yes!"

Everyone got the meaning, one dialed into the back room, one dialed into the backyard, but it was just looking for a child, but out of nature, it was rummaging through the cabinets, Tian Xianggong saw the situation, wanted to stop it but didn't have the courage, so he could only reprimand: "You guys...... If you trespass into private houses, aren't you afraid that I will go to the government to sue you?! ”

Qi Mei still didn't reply to him, but it happened that several groups of people had come back one after another, and said, "Auntie, no."

Although the child was not searched, Qi Mei concluded that this person must have seen the child, so he pulled out the saber on the waist of the inner prison on his side, put it on Tian Xianggong's neck without the slightest hesitation, and asked in a commanding tone: "Where is the child?"

"Kid?" Tian Xianggong was already trembling, in order to save his life, he was still calm, and said, "What child? I haven't seen the kid, you're looking for the wrong person. ”

Qi Mei curled the corners of her lips, showed a sly smile, and said, "Really?"

Tian Xianggong nodded again and again, but Qi Mei moved the saber to his neck a few points, almost clinging to it, and asked, "I haven't seen it, which child?"

Hearing this, Xiang Tian knew that he had revealed his flaws, but he still lied, and said, "That's what you said, the child on the water lily." Bayi Little No said the net, '-.、'"

Qi Mei was impatient and sneered, "Do you want to live?"

Tian Xianggong moved, deviated slightly from the saber, and nodded: "Yes, of course I want to."

"Then tell me where that kid is."

Tian Xianggong wanted to say, but where did he have the courage, that was the prince. If these people knew that he had sold the little prince for wine and drink, he would not be in a different place immediately!

"I, I really don't know. Grandma, please spare me, I really don't know anything," Tian Xianggong said almost pleading.

Qi Mei couldn't bear it anymore and raised her hand violently. The saber rose and fell with her gesture, and in an instant, it cut off the head that Tian Xianggong was draped over his shoulders. Seeing this, Tian Xianggong was frightened and his legs weakened, and hurriedly said, "I...... I said, I said, I said it's not okay, don't kill me, I'm old and young, and my whole family is waiting for me to feed you. ”

"Say!"

Tian Xianggong glanced around and said, "That kid...... ...... by me I sold ......"

Qi Mei was taken aback. "What! Sold?! Where did it go? ”

"Sell to ......" Tian Xianggong thought, he couldn't sell the Wei family, but now that the Wei family has already moved away, it doesn't hurt to think about it, so he said: "In the west of the city, there is a family surnamed Wei."

After hearing this, Qi Mei looked at the inner prison and said, "You bring a few people over, and you have to bring the children back no matter what!"

"Yes."

The inner prison then turned around and wanted to take people out, but Tian Xianggong was afraid that the matter would be revealed in the end and he would be offended. It is better to take the initiative to confess himself, and ensure that they can deal with him lightly, he hurriedly called, but saw Qi Mei suddenly looking back at him. There was murderous intent in his fierce eyes, he suddenly stopped his mouth, paused before confessing, and said, "Then the Wei family moved away......"

When the inner eunuch heard this, he stopped, and reprimanded: "You dare to tease me!"

"It's not!" Tian Xianggong hurriedly said: "How dare I tease you, it's all true." The Wei family has really moved out. ”

Qi Mei lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and reprimanded: "Where did you move to!"

Tian Xianggong said intermittently: "Okay...... It seems to be ...... Jiangxi. ”

Qi Mei had already noticed that he must know, so he said angrily: "Jiangxi is so big! Where the hell is it! ”

"New ...... Newly built. ”

Qi Mei put down the saber, held the handle of the knife and glanced at Tian Xianggong, snorted coldly, and was about to turn around and leave, but he was afraid of leaking the wind, so he raised his arm and put the saber on his neck, Tian Xianggong was shocked and said, "You! I've told you the truth, you can't kill me! ”

"I didn't say you told me, then I won't kill you."

Tian Xianggong was in a hurry, and he didn't choose to speak, and said, "I'...... Let me tell you, my lady is ...... in the palace."

Without waiting for Tian Xianggong to speak, Qi Mei deflected the blade and understood his life with a knife.

Qi Mei is also a ruthless person, and she didn't even blink her eyes when she killed someone, but she threw down the knife without care, turned around and said lightly: "Burn it."

"Yes."

When the inner supervisor saw that Qi Mei was out, he naturally followed closely and said, "Auntie, then we have to send someone to look for it?"

Qi Mei glanced at him sideways and said, "Naturally, I have to send someone to look for it."

"And who should we send?" The inner supervisor asked.

Qi Mei didn't look back, but said, "You go."

"Slave?" The inner supervisor hurriedly excused himself and said, "Slaves and maids can't do it, slaves and maids don't have that ability."

Hearing this, Qi Mei stopped and looked at him coldly, he was naturally covered in a cold sweat, and sneered: "Slave and maid, slave and maid."

As for what Tian Xianggong said before he died, Qi Mei didn't understand it, and it was a loss that he didn't say it, otherwise, I'm afraid even the Tian family would not be spared.

The next day, Zhu Youzhu suddenly proposed to take Zhang Junfang to the Shouning Marquis Mansion, Zhang Junzhu was unwilling in her heart, since she learned that Jin Fu was not her biological mother, she never wanted to go back, unless it was a last resort, that is, when Zhang Luan passed away, she only went back to stay for a few days.

However, Zhu Youzhu insisted on taking her home, and she was a daughter, and it was really hard to refuse.

But sitting in the carriage, she became more and more uneasy, and asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Why does Your Majesty have to bring your concubines back today?"

"If you are free today, then you will go back today, besides, haven't we been back for a few days?"

Zhang Junfang pillowed on his shoulder and said, "The concubine doesn't want to go back today."

Zhu Youzhu was a little embarrassed and said, "Why is this?"

Zhang Junfang didn't know how to answer, so he simply didn't speak, and at that time, the carriage suddenly stopped, only to hear a reprimand outside, and someone said: "Get out of the way!"

This voice didn't sound like their people, Zhang Junyu happened to take this opportunity to get up and move to the door of the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked, only to see that there was also a carriage in front of him, and their carriage met in many ways, because the street was narrow, one had to go back the way it came.

When Nan Su saw Zhang Junyu come out, he called "Niangniang" in a low voice.

The leading guard on the opposite side scolded again: "Don't get out of the way yet!" Do you know that this is Mrs. Shangshu's car! Get out of the way! ”

Zhang Junyu was supported by Nan Xu, got out of the carriage leisurely, and asked indifferently when he approached: "Your family is Shangshu, who is your surname?"

When the leader saw Zhang Junyu, he was disdainful, and said, "Tell you that I'm afraid of scaring you, get out of here!"

As she was talking, the door curtain of the carriage was also lifted, and the woman in the carriage was shocked when she saw that it was Zhang Junfang, and hurriedly walked down, Zhang Junfang also saw her, and sneered: "It turned out to be Peng Shao."

"Presumptuous! Peng Shangshu's name is what you can call! ”

As soon as the leader spoke, Mrs. Peng had already rushed over, pushed him away in a panic, looked at Zhang Junyu and said with a smile: "Your ......"

Zhang Junyu hurriedly interrupted, and said in a strange manner: "Mrs. Peng has a good dog."

Mrs. Peng hurriedly apologized and said, "He has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, don't be surprised."

Zhang Junfang lowered her eyes and had no intention of seeing the bracelet on Mrs. Peng's wrist, but it was not the pair she gave to Zhu Youqi, she suppressed the anger in her heart and said, "The bracelet on Mrs. Peng's hand is probably worth a lot of money."

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Youzhu had already walked over and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Junfang didn't reply to him, Mrs. Peng glanced at the bracelet, and said with Zhang Junfang a smile: "This is given to the adult by Prince Xing."

Zhu Youzhu happened to hear it, and couldn't help but be stunned, Zhu Youqi gave Peng Shao a bracelet, and these two people are afraid that it is not simple.

Seeing the situation, Zhang Junfang fanned the flames and said: "It seems that the fourth child has a good relationship with Peng Shangshu!"

Where did Mrs. Peng know the meaning, Ying He said: "Adults often go to the palace, and sometimes they come back very late, so I think this friendship is very good."

The more Zhu Youzhu listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, Zhang Junzhu looked displeased, snorted and turned around and got into the carriage, Zhu Youzhu hurriedly followed, and called: "Zhu'er."

Zhang Junyu puffed up and said: "Even if the fourth child doesn't like the bracelet given by the concubine, he shouldn't give it to others!"

Zhu Youzhu was stunned and said, "You gave the bracelet?" The fourth child is really unusual! ”

Now Zhu Youzhu has become suspicious of Zhu Youqi, and he is also slightly disgusted with Peng Shao, so it really takes no effort to get it.

The place where these two carriages stopped was in front of the Mingpin Tea House, and with this scene, they were all seen by people, especially Tan Yifeng, who was sitting in the elegant seat on the second floor of the tea house, thinking that he was completely paying attention to it.

Zhang Junfang's every move, even what she thought in her heart, he knew everything about it, not to talk about Yifeng's extraordinary ability, but his heart was in Zhang Junfeng's body, so what Zhang Junfeng thought in his heart, he knew it clearly.

If he thinks correctly, Zhang Junfang will attack Peng Shao next. (To be continued.) )
