Chapter 229: The Son of the World is Missing
Mrs. Gao naturally found out, immediately put down the tea cup in her hand, got up and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
Pei Xingli didn't care about making a big salute, and hurriedly replied: "Uncle, the son is gone!" ”
"Gone? What does this mean? ”
"No one has seen the son since last night."
"No one has seen it?" Mrs. Gao felt very strange, "There were so many things that happened last night, and Heng'er didn't show up?" ”
"No, I have asked all the guards, but none of them have ever seen Shizi."
Mrs. Gao showed a panicked look at this time: "How is it possible! ”
And all the people were alarmed. There were so many things going on in the Jiedu embassy last night, robbing prisons, setting fires, and killing maidservants...... Even if the death of the servant girl could not attract the attention of the prince, the robbery and arson were major events, and so many guards were killed and injured, and the inner courtyard where Li Qi lived was destroyed, it was impossible for Li Heng, as the prince, not to show up.
"Haven't you even seen Heng'er?" Mrs. Gao hurriedly asked.
Pei Xingli denied: "I just came out of my uncle, and my uncle said that he was busy chasing assassins and catching murderers last night, and he thought that the prince had been accompanying you." ”
"This ...... This ......" Mrs. Gao's face was a little dazed, "Xing, Xing'er Heng'er went out to do something?" It's not like it's been for nothing before. ”
"It's not that simple," Pei Xingli frowned, "None of the servants and guards around the prince left, and no one in the concierge has seen the prince go out." Especially ......"
"What is it?"
"After the prince entered the inner room to rest last night, he never came out again, but the person was gone." Pei Xing stopped speaking, and his brows frowned deeper.
"What does General Pei mean that the prince disappeared out of thin air in the inner room?" Li Wangzhen asked the key question.
Pei Xingli nodded: "Uncle Fang Cai sent someone to send a message to find the prince to come to the Baohua Hall, but I sent someone to search the house and couldn't find the whereabouts of the prince, and then asked the guards on duty last night, only to learn that the prince has never been out of the inner room." ”
The more Mrs. Gao listened, the more panicked she became, and she couldn't care about interrogating Xilingyue anymore, so she hurriedly ordered: "Quick! Send more people to find it! ”
"Yes!" Pei Xingli took the order, and then he glanced at Xilingyue, who was kneeling on the ground, and pretended to be surprised, "Why is Jiang Niangzi kneeling on the ground?" ”
"She's a fake! We've all been lied to her! Mrs. Gao didn't have time to elaborate, pointed to Xilingyue and said to Pei Xing, "Find a place to lock her up first!" He pointed at Jiang Yunyi again, "Arrange a place for her to live." ”
Before Mrs. Gao finished speaking, the person hurriedly ran out and said to Li Wangzhen: "Quick! Help me to see the servant! ”
Li Wangzhen supported her, comforting her as she walked: "Aunt, don't worry, as long as the prince doesn't leave this mansion, he will definitely be fine." ”
Xi Lingyue listened to these words, but she didn't take them seriously, and thought that it was an excuse that Pei Xingli deliberately made to save her. She looked up at the other party, and was about to praise him for his brilliant strategy, but seeing that Cao Justice had already stood up from his seat, she asked in a low voice: "Dare to ask General Pei, what should the lower officials do?" Will you stay in the house or ...... Or go back and wait for the dispatch? ”
Pei Xingli pondered for a moment: "You go back first, and wait for the summons at any time." ”
"Yes, yes." Cao Judicial also knew that this case of true and false daughters was muddy waters, and he had long wanted to get out, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Seeing that Cao Zhengyi was far away, Jiang Yunyi was still stunned on the spot, and Pei Xingli sent someone to arrange a place for her to live. It wasn't until he sent all the idlers away that he helped Xiling Yue up from the ground and asked eagerly, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Xilingyue leaned on him and stood up, and told Ah Luo's death and what happened in Jiang's mansion in a few words. The more Pei Xingli listened, the more his face sank, and in the end, he even tightened his hands fiercely, pinching Xilingyue's arm painfully.
She hurriedly slapped his hand away: "Don't worry, I'm not going to die." As long as Shizi is willing to testify on my behalf and prove that I stayed with him last night, I will be able to exonerate myself from these incidents. As for the fire in Jiang's Mansion and Ah Luo's death, I will have a chance to investigate slowly. She rubbed her arm as she spoke, and said to herself, "It's just that in this situation, how can I say that I am moving the world?" It's really distressing. Pei Xingli sighed deeply: "Didn't you understand what I just said?" The son is gone! ”
"Gone?" Xiling Yue covered her mouth, "Isn't this your excuse to support Mrs. Gao?" ”
Pei Xingli was silent, with a heavy sadness in his eyes.
Xilingyue's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and finally realized that this matter was not so simple!
"In this situation, the prince is the only person who can save you, but ......" Pei Xingli only said here, without finishing his words.
! Xilingyue naturally understands that Li Heng is not missing sooner or later, why did he disappear at this juncture? Doesn't this make it clear that someone doesn't want Li Heng to testify for her and wants her to be a scapegoat?
However, Pei Xingli thought deeper: "Although I am worried about the disappearance of the prince, I always think that nothing will happen to him...... But now it seems that I am afraid that those people are deliberately manipulating behind your back, trying to put all the blame on you, I am only afraid that the son of the world will ......"
"I'm afraid that he will be more than lucky." Xiling Yue finished the words he didn't dare to say for him.
Yes, those people behind the scenes dared to use the Jiang Mansion, dared to burn so many people, and killed the fake A Luo...... Presumably, they will not be afraid of Li Heng's identity.
Pei Xingli looked at Xiling Yue's haggard appearance, and asked with concern, "Are you...... Are you okay? ”
"I'm fine." Xiling Yue took a deep breath, "I just think it's strange, why did someone frame me, who did I offend?" ”
How could Pei Xingli answer: "In this situation, I can't protect you, so I can only find the son first." ”
His tone was very reluctant, which showed that he was not sure. Xilingyue nodded: "I understand, for me, the dungeon is the safest place. ”
"If only you could think so." Pei Xingli grabbed one of her arms and made an escort posture, "First wronged you to stay there for a few nights, and then I will find a way to do the rest." ”
Xiling Yue didn't think that he had come to the dungeon twice in one day. The first time it was a prisoner, but this time he became a prisoner, and the number of guards has tripled, and this time it is impossible to escape even if he has wings. Is this self-inflicted?
From last night to tonight, for twelve hours, she had experienced so many things, thrilling, exciting, weird, terrifying...... It's unheard of and unseen in a lifetime.
This trip to Zhenhai, her original purpose was very simple - but she heard that Li Wangzhen was a guest at the Jiedu Embassy's mansion, and wanted to persuade the other party to break the marriage contract with Brother Yi......
It's just a simple purpose, she can't figure out why it has developed to such a point that she has become a prisoner?
My father-in-law is right, I only have a little wisdom, not a lot of wisdom......
