The imperial decree came down the next day, and Bao Zheng was appointed as an imperial envoy to personally investigate the matter of Meicheng.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were still a few days left before departure, after Qin Xianglian and Wupen had just finished working, Pang Feiyan hurriedly dragged Gongsun Ce back to her natal home.

Unlike the Kaifeng Mansion, which is diligent and thrifty, the Pang Mansion here is simply carved beams and painted buildings, very rich.

Pang Feiyan clearly remembered the Pang Mansion where she had lived for many years, and she dragged Gongsun Ce in without the concierge's servants telling her the way.

But unfortunately, there was her father sitting in the front hall today, Grand Master Pang was drinking tea, looked at them with some faint eyes, put down the teacup in his hand, and said coolly, "Yan'er, why are you free today?" Come back to see Dad?"

Gongsun Ce cupped his hands, "My son-in-law has seen Yueshan."

Grand Master Pang waved his hand and asked him to step aside. Gongsun Ce sighed, a little helpless and amused by the old man's anger. He stepped aside and let the father and daughter talk.

Pang Feiyan glanced at Gongsun Ce, then took Taishi Pang's hand, and began to act coquettishly, "Father, don't they miss you? Look, my husband and I brought your favorite pastries from Hexianglou."

Grand Master Pang couldn't bear his daughter's coquettishness for a moment, and when he saw the cakes, he smiled and scratched Pang Feiyan's nose, "You are still acting coquettish even in your tens of years."

Pang Feiyan smiled and said, "No matter how old I am, you are still my father. If I don't act like a spoiled child to you, who should I act like a spoiled child?"

Grand Master Pang laughed for a while, "Okay, your mother misses you, you go to the backyard to see your mother, let your husband stay, and I will have a word with him."

Pang Feiyan winked at Gongsun Ce, motioned for her to go first, and then said "yes".

Gongsun Ce stroked his beard and smiled. After Pang Feiyan left, Grand Master Pang turned cold, "Hmph, Gongsun Ce, come to the study with me."

Gongsun Ce followed Grand Master Pang to the study, and Grand Master Pang gave him a letter, "This is a letter from Xue Shilang from the Ministry of Officials who asked me to forward it to you."

In Kaifeng for many years, even if Gongsun Ce only worked with Bao Zheng, as a think tank of Kaifeng Mansion, he would inevitably be involved in various affairs in the court.

Now of course there are factions in the court. Your Excellency advocates peace and does not stand for any faction, but his father-in-law is the leader of one of the factions. Xue Shilang Xue Tingsong has such a distant relationship with the Pang family. In the early days of entering the court, the servant stood on the side of the Pang family.

Gongsun Strategy looked at the envelope, and found that it was for a man named 'Song Ci'. This Song Ci was Xue Shilang's son-in-law, but why did he give it to this Song Ci?

After he received the letter, Grand Master Pang said slowly, "Song Ci is the son of Song Gong, who was married to Xue Shilang's daughter. The magistrate surnamed Meng who died was his close friend, so he has gone to Meicheng now."

When Grand Master Pang said this, Gongsun Ce understood that Xue Tingsong's family was the only daughter, and it was normal to be worried about her son-in-law in the muddy waters of Meicheng... He stole a glance at his father-in-law, forget it, no mention this.

Moreover, Mr. Bao and he both received advice from Song Laotui when they were young, and they have exchanged many letters over the years. Song Laotui mentioned Song Ci many times in his letters. quite high.

"So, my son-in-law knows."

Grand Master Pang was only entrusted by others, he said a few words casually, then stopped talking, then thought of the case that Bao Heizi investigated recently, and mentioned it a little casually, "I heard that Bao Hei, Bao Zheng recently investigated a case... ..."

This matter is well known, so the number of customers in those shops outside Kaifeng has decreased recently, but there is also the matter involving human trafficking, the common people don't know much about it, but it doesn't mean that his father-in-law will not know order something.

Seeing Taishi Pang not paying attention, but seeming to listen to the conversation with his ears up, Gongsun Ce was a little funny in his heart, but of course he would not show it on the surface, "Someone has already provided clues. In Meicheng, Lord Bao is taking this opportunity to find out the truth."

"Oh, so that's how it is," Grand Master Pang said casually, and then began to chase people away.

Gongsun Ce put the letter away and went to the backyard.

Now the sun is just right, and Pang Feiyan is feeding the fish in the gazebo with Madam Pang. After Gongsun Ce greeted her, Madam Pang said, "Shuzhu (1), the pear flower ointment you made a while ago is very good for me, you have a heart ,"

After that, he sighed again, "I also know that you and Mr. Bao are going to Meicheng. Meicheng is no better than Kaifeng. You have to be careful in everything. During this period of time, let Yan'er go back to the mansion to stay with me for a few days .”

"It should be so." Gongsun Ce responded, "Mother-in-law should also pay more attention to her body and relax her mind."

"Oh, I'm just thinking about Yu'er, how can I be happy? As soon as I close my eyes, I seem to see Yu'er being taken away by that thief." Mrs. Pang patted her chest and frowned, "Ten years It's been more than ten years, and I don't know when Yu'er will be able to come back and reunite with me."

Gongsun Ce was silent for a while, and said comfortingly, "Mother-in-law..."

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Pang stopped her, "I know you are worried about me, but I really can't express it, but," she patted Pang Feiyan's hand, blinked, the corners of the eyes that already had fine lines were slightly sad, But there is indeed a smile on the corner of his mouth, "With you guys by my side, I am content."

When she said that, Pang Feiyan laughed, pointed at the fish swimming around below and said, "Mother, look at how beautiful that one is, there's also that golden one, and that red one..."

Mrs. Pang left them after dinner, and they left.

During the meal, Gongsun Ce inadvertently asked Pang Yu if there were any special features on his body. Mrs. Pang said with some regret that Pang Yu had a jade pendant in the shape of a longevity lock engraved with the word "Yu".

Everyone knew this feature when they were looking for Pang Yu before, but when she inadvertently mentioned that there were three small moles side by side on Pang Yu's back shoulder blade, Gongsun Ce's memory became clearer and clearer.

At that time, the gang of thieves had not been caught yet. The officers and soldiers searched for the thieves and eligible children in several nearby towns. They may have been seen by the thieves when they posted the official list. Later, many children in the city had a piece of fire behind their shoulder blades. like branding.

The Pang family was afraid that the thieves would hurt the youngest son, so they withdrew the second clue. After so many years, even he didn't remember clearly.

Before he knew it, he thought of Lin Yu. If Pang Yu had passed so many years, he would be as old as him, not to mention Mrs. Pang's appearance.

But now things are uncertain, and he can't give them any hope, for fear that they will be even more disappointed after hope.

Lin Yu came back from Kaifeng Mansion. As soon as he entered the house, someone knocked on the door. He opened the door and saw that it was Father Zhang. Father Zhang also had a large box and a small box in his hand.

Lin Yu came in to welcome him, and looked at the thing that Zhang Lao said to give him in a daze, "This is..."

Father Zhang was extremely cautious, and there was a little awe in his eyes, "This is, this is some small gift for you, it is not a respect, it is not a respect."

"Why are you all interested in giving gifts today?" Lin Yu said amusedly, "Take it back, Father Zhang."

Father Zhang glanced at him, and said embarrassedly, "This, this can't be taken back, this is what my ancestor asked me to bring to you."

"Ancestor?" Lin Yu really wanted to ask, why do you still have an ancestor in your family, but after thinking about it, this seemed to be a curse word, so he didn't say more.

Speaking of this, Father Zhang said mysteriously, "Last night, I dreamed about my father. He asked me to give you a gift. He said that you are a god who has gone through many calamities. Let me serve you .”

last night?He seemed to ask the system to create dreams for him last night, so what did you create for the system?Why are there any ancestors and gods involved?

He said awkwardly but politely, "Uh, I don't need to serve, I really don't need these gifts, why don't you keep them for me first?"

When Father Zhang heard this, he felt a little displeased, "You must think I'm not polite," he rolled his eyes and smiled, "I know what I should give you."

Logically speaking, the gods need to do meritorious deeds, so he can ascend to the immortal class as soon as possible by asking the gods to do more meritorious deeds?Doesn't this help the gods a lot?It can also make life easier for my dad in the sky.

He jumped up like a rabbit, mentioned those things, and left in a hurry.

? ? ?Lin Yu was still at a loss.

So what did the system do last night?He poked the system, but the system didn't want to ignore him, and generously gave him a point.

Is that all right?Lin Yu continued poking at the system unwillingly, maybe the system would give him more points?

But in fact, he was too naive, and the system took back the one point he just gave away.

Isn't this just teasing him?Lin Yu was going to be blown out of anger. Unexpectedly, half an hour after Father Zhang walked out the door, there was another knock on the door.

This time it was still Zhang Lao, but Zhang Lao was dragging an old woman in coarse cloth.

However, the first thing the old woman said when she saw him was, "My grandson is lost, please live gods to help me find my grandson, the folk woman will definitely burn more incense for you in the future..."

Lin Yu: What's the situation?
