The steward was overjoyed when he heard Du Wei's words, and hurriedly took the letter carefully and hid it in his arms.

Mrs. Du and Mrs. Du were immediately relieved when they saw this, and Mrs. Du stepped forward to take Du Wei's hand and called: "Wei'er......" Seeing that she was about to cry again.

Du Wei didn't have time to waste time with her here, so she called the manager who reported the matter again to inquire carefully.

"Where are my father and third brother now?"

"The old man went to Congfu to theorize about this matter, thinking that it was the official they reported, and the third young master ......" the steward hesitated slightly, "The third young master left Congfu before the eldest young master had an accident, and I heard that he went to see some old friend......

Du Wei frowned secretly.

The steward did not return for a long time, and everyone gathered in the main hall to wait for Xin'er, but the old lady was too old to stay up, so she could only be supported by Zhang's mother to rest.

"Princess, don't worry or think too much about your body at the moment." Mr. Cui reminded that it was not easy for him to adjust Du Wei's body, and if something happened at this time, the prince would not spare him.

"I know what I know." Du Wei hastily sent Mr. Cui away, did not go to the dormitory, but rested with his clothes on the soft collapse of the east house.

Seeing that it was about to pass curfew, Linglong crept in outside, as if to check if she was asleep.

Du Wei immediately opened her eyes, "But what's the matter?" ”

Linglong said in a low voice, "The chief steward is back." ”

"Let him in."

Du Wei had just sat up, and the chief steward outside had already entered the house.

"Any news?" Du Wei asked.

The steward said: "Fortunately, the eldest lady's letter, the government does not allow the eldest young master to meet at all, only that the case can not be visited before the case is closed, even the silver they do not accept, and then he had to go to find the head of the team, he read the eldest lady's letter and helped to investigate, saying that the eldest young master is currently locked up in a single room in prison, he will help take care of it, if there is any news, he will also send someone to the house to inform him." ”

Du Wei bowed his head slightly, the steward would have relaxed a little, originally he really didn't look down on this eldest lady of Du Mansion, although she married a nobleman, but she was just a woman, when this kind of thing happened, she was usually frightened and panicked, how could she have any ideas.

"So it seems that it is the official of Cong Fusuo." Du Wei muttered, "You tell me about Congfu." "She didn't stay in Liangzhou City for a long time, and she didn't go to Congfu at that time.

The steward immediately said: "Cong Mansion is also the home of wealthy merchants, and the largest restaurant in Liangzhou City has their dry shares, and I heard that Mrs. Cong also has some relationship with Queen Lu......

The Lu family? Du Wei's heart couldn't help jumping.

"Mrs. Cong's surname is Lu?"

The steward nodded, "Exactly, the missing lady is Mrs. Cong's niece, who has just come from Beijing......

"Do you know the name of the missing lady in Cong Mansion?"

The steward pondered, "It seems...... It's called Lu Xiwen......"

Du Wei only felt that her mind was blank for a moment.

When Linglong saw her, she thought she was going to faint again, so she hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

Du Wei came back to her senses after a while and muttered, "I'm fine...... Let it go. ”

Linglong saw that her face was not good, and comforted: "Du Mansion can be regarded as an imperial businessman with a head and face here, and the government should not embarrass the eldest young master." ”

Du Wei frowned, if she didn't know the identity behind Cong Fu, she might believe Linglong's words.

Du Yifan is also a figure in the business world in Liangzhou City, young and promising, and he is even more honest and credible, which is obvious to everyone. In this case, the government still detains him privately, which shows that there must be a hindrance to the relationship between the Cong Mansion behind him, and if the prince's power is really involved here, it will not be good.

Du Mansion is just the home of ordinary merchants, after the curfew can no longer go out of the house without authorization, Du Wei had to let the chief steward go back to rest first, and then sat alone on the couch in a daze, suddenly, she missed the wind and twilight, with his identity, what curfew, what rules, even the emperor summoned him dare to shirk.

Thinking of his eldest brother Du Yifan again, I don't know what the situation is in prison at this time, my heart is like a mess, and my chest hurts again in a daze.

She reached out to touch the bottle containing the pill, but suddenly remembered that the bottle was not on her body, but was placed on the cabinet at the head of the bed.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the window, mixed with exquisite scolding.

"Miss! Miss! An anxious call sounded outside, slamming back Du Wei's consciousness that she was about to lose.

She struggled to regain her breath, barely reaching for the bottle, and pouring it into her mouth without looking.

It took a long time for her to come back to her senses, "What's the matter......" She tried her best to make her tone sound the same as usual, so as not to worry about them again.

"Miss, Hengfengxing's shop is gone!"

Du Wei's body shook violently and called, "Linglong, let someone outside come in and talk back." ”

After a while, a young man came in from outside, fifteen or sixteen years old, his face covered with black and gray, and he was embarrassed.

"Which shop in Hengfeng Line has gone out of the water?" Hengfeng Xing now has several branches in Liangzhou City, even if there is an accident in the store, it is impossible for the guy to report to her, and there are still three young masters and Du in the house, where is her turn to come forward.

"It's not the front pavement...... It's the backyard...... Backyard! The young man spoke incoherently.

Du Wei was patient and tried her best to make her tone softer, "Are you talking about the room where the eldest brother is?" "It was the most important store in the city, and it was also the first store in Dufu at the beginning.

The young man nodded desperately, "Exactly." ”

"But what important things have been lost? Why don't you report it to the third young master or your father and come to me first? ”

"It was the eldest young master who ordered it...... the young man said honestly: "It's just that some account books have been lost, and the eldest young master ordered at that time that if it is related to those accounts, let the little one come to the eldest lady to get an idea." ”

Du Wei immediately understood that the shrewd and clever young man in front of her must be the eldest brother's henchman.

Think of those ledgers...... Du Wei's heart flickered: "How many of those account books were burned?" ”

"The accounts that have not yet been clarified have been burned, and the other eldest young masters have been sealed in advance, so they are not damaged." The young man said.

Du Wei felt more and more that things were a little strange, and asked, "Who are the people in the store now?" ”

"It's just me, and there are two bookkeepers, one in charge, fortunately we found out early when the fire started, otherwise ......"

Hearing this, Du Wei really ordered Linglong, "You go, call those two guards." ”

Linglong ran out, and after a while, two guards dressed as nursing homes walked in.

Du Wei looked at them fixedly and said, "I have a lot of things to tell you to do now, but now it's curfew outside, I don't know if you can do it." ”

When the two heard this, they arched their hands together and said: "The subordinates obey the order, and the princess obeys the order!" ”

Du Wei nodded, pointed to the young man in front of him and said, "You two escort him back to Hengfeng Xing, and then transport all the accounts in the store back to the house, and there must be no mistakes." ”

"Subordinates obey!" The two of them answered in unison, and the young man looked up at the two men in amazement, and saw that their eyes were calm and unwavering, and they did not raise any objection to the orders of the eldest lady, as if they had done this kind of thing a hundred or a thousand times.

In fact, what he didn't know was that even if Du Wei ordered them to kill people at the moment, they would not hesitate to do it.
