Chapter 278: The Dark Clan
Zhuo Chen took Mo Shihuan to an inconspicuous village outside the city.
"Who the hell are you taking me to?" Mo Shihuan asked curiously.
"Here we are." Zhuo Chen pointed to a small courtyard in front of him.
There is nothing special in this courtyard, at this time in the courtyard, there is an old woman picking vegetables, Mo Shihuan looked at it, she has never seen this person.
"Who is this?"
Zhuo Chen explained, "I have already asked Feiying to investigate, this person is your mother's friend, she should know something about your mother and the Wu Clan. ”
Mo Shihuan was overjoyed, her mother had been missing for so many years, and it must have taken a lot of effort for Zhuo Chen to find someone who knew her.
When the old woman saw the two of them come in, she put down what she was holding and asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Mother-in-law, I want to ask, do you know a person named Ruan Anqing?" Mo Shihuan asked eagerly.
"Ruan Anqing?" The old woman muttered the name, a strange look flashing in her eyes, and she looked at the two people in front of her vigilantly.
After a while, the old woman waved her hand and said, "Ruan Anqing, I don't know, you are looking for the wrong person." ”
Wrong?
Mo Shihuan glanced at Zhuo Chen, and Zhuo Chen shook his head at her.
Flying Eagle is doing things, Zhuo Chen is relieved, since he said that this woman has a relationship with Mo Shihuan's mother, there should be no mistake.
Mo Shihuan nodded, understanding what Zhuo Chen meant.
She turned around and asked the woman in a soft tone: "Mother-in-law, don't get me wrong, we are not bad people, I am Ruan Anqing's daughter, she has disappeared for many years, I want to find her." ”
Hearing this, the woman turned around hesitantly and looked at Mo Shihuan again suspiciously.
This made Mo Shihuan even more sure that she knew her mother.
"Mother-in-law, what I said is true, I have been looking for her for a long time, if you know her news, can you tell my mother?"
Mo Shihuan pleaded sincerely.
The woman probably saw that they did not look like bad people, and finally gradually let go of her guards.
"Actually, I haven't seen her for many years, and as for where she is, I don't know, so I may not be able to help you."
Hearing this, Mo Shihuan, who was full of hope just now, lowered his head in disappointment.
She should have guessed that her mother had disappeared for so many years, and even people she knew before should have cut off contact with her a long time ago.
Zhuo Chen patted her on the shoulder, wanting to give her a little comfort.
He asked the woman, "Have you heard her say anything about the Witches?" ”
"Wicans?" The woman's brows furrowed slightly, and after thinking for a while, she said, "I have indeed heard a lot about the affairs of the Wu clan. ”
At this time, Mo Shihuan's eyes lit up with hope again, and he hurriedly asked, "What did she tell you?" ”
"Actually, there's nothing special, it's just that she told me a lot of things about her childhood in the Wu Clan, and I can see that she has a deep affection for the Wu Clan, but she hates and is afraid of it."
Thinking of the things Ruan Anqing had told her before, the woman couldn't help but sigh.
"Did she tell you where the witch clan went?"
Mo Shihuan is not hopeful, after all, this woman has not been in contact with Ruan Anqing for many years, besides, this Wu clan has nothing to do with her, and she probably didn't pay attention to the situation of the Wu clan.
"Yes."
The woman's words rekindled the hope of the lost Mo Shihuan, and she hurriedly asked, "Do you know the current situation of the Wu Clan?" ”
"Since your mother cut off contact with me, I have been inquiring about the situation of the Wu Clan, and two years ago, I accidentally learned that the rest of their Wu Clan is now mixed with the Dark Clan."
"Hedark?" Mo Shihuan heard such a name for the first time and asked, "Where is this Heyan Clan now?" ”
"A large part of them live in the capital, and in order to avoid the sight of the Central Plains people, they turned into the Heyan Clan."
Mo Shihuan was overjoyed, it turned out that they were really in the capital.
Before leaving, Mo Shihuan asked the old woman about Ruan Anqing's past, and finally left with Zhuo Chen.
Zhuo Chen returned to the mansion and immediately sent the Flying Eagle to investigate the Dark Clan.
After a while, the eagle returned.
"What's going on?" Zhuo Chen asked suspiciously.
Feiying replied: "Lord Wang, Pei Chengzhi is missing. ”
"Are you sure it's missing?" Zhuo Chen asked.
Feiying nodded, and replied definitely: "Sure, the subordinates originally wanted to go to him to ask about something, but found that he was not at his residence, and found all the places he might go, but there was none, and besides, the subordinates checked his residence, and it seems that he has not been back for several days." ”
Pei Chengzhi hasn't gotten what he wants yet, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't leave suddenly, and even if he leaves, he should come and say hello to them.
"What should I do, Lord Wang?"
Zhuo Chen realized that something was wrong, he disappeared at this time, it must not be so simple.
"Give me this matter, you go and investigate the matter of the Heyan Clan first, there are people from the Wu Clan in this Heyan Clan, you must investigate carefully and carefully, don't be noticed by them." Zhuo Chen instructed.
"Yes, my subordinates know."
After Feiying left, Zhuo Chen thought about Pei Chengzhi for a long time, and the only person he could think of now who had something to do with Pei Chengzhi's disappearance was King Wu.
Could it be that King Wu knew Pei Yuanzhi's secret, so he arrested him?
Zhuo Chen called someone and secretly sneaked to King Wu's mansion to investigate the matter at night.
However, they didn't gain anything in the end, and there was no Pei Chengzhi in the palace of King Wu.
Early the next morning, Zhuo Chen took Mo Shihuan to Pei Chengzhi's residence to see in person, and maybe he could find clues about his disappearance.
When they reached the gate of the city, they found that there were a lot of people leaving the city today, and the queue waiting for inspection had already cleared two street corners.
"Did you notice anything strange about them?" Mo Shihuan asked.
"What?" Zhuo Chen asked suspiciously.
Mo Shihuan is a woman after all, so she naturally observes things more carefully than Zhuo Chen.
"Most of those who go out of the city today are foreigners."
After Mo Shihuan's reminder, Zhuo Chen found out about this.
Although there are usually foreigners who go out of the city, there are not so many, as if they have said that they have agreed.
"You say, does this have anything to do with the Wu Clan?" Mo Shihuan asked him.
This is exactly what Zhuo Chen suspects, suddenly so many foreigners go out of the city, there must be something strange.
Although there are many different foreigners in this city, most of them are safe and sound, and nothing unusual happens.
There may be anomalies, but only the Wu Clan.
"Let's investigate the Dark Clan first, I think, they may have a move recently."
