Kaifeng mansion's first drama

If you are an open-minded person, why are there so many masters ambushing near your residence, always on guard?

Pang Yuanying was even more puzzled and suspicious at the same time.

He really wanted to go to Pang Yuanqing to confront him immediately, but he had to curb his impulse to avoid alarming the enemy.

Pang Yuanying pretended to be calm and walked out of the path with ups and downs of mood, and walked back to her residence unhurriedly.

In Qingxin Zhai, Pang Yuanqing lit the spices in the jade incense burner with a candle, and fiddled with them a few times with the jade hook.

The guard entered the door gently like a gust of wind, and after bowing respectfully to Pang Yuanqing, he stepped forward and whispered something in Pang Yuanqing's ear.

Pang Yuanqing paused, then put down the jade hook, and covered the lid of the jade incense burner with his slender fingers.After a long while of silence, Pang Yuanqing covered the lid of the incense burner carved with white jade.

"You go down first."

After the guard silently agreed, he disappeared the next moment.

Pang Yuanqing looked at the burning incense and smoking stove, his face remained motionless for a long time.After a long time, he squinted and looked out the window, as if thinking about something.Then he lifted up his robe and went out immediately to see Pang Yuanying.

Pang Yuanying was drinking tea in her room and worried, when she heard that the person she was dreaming had come to see him, she felt a little bit in her heart.

Could it be that he had already found out about his "walking" behind Pang Yuanqing's courtyard just now?

Don't startle the snake, he must find a suitable reason, something big enough to attract his attention, so that he can avoid thinking about himself.

Pang Yuanying thought anxiously in her heart, seeing Pang Yuanqing walking in quickly.

Pang Yuanying immediately put his hand on his forehead, turned his head away, and did not speak.

"What's wrong with my cousin? You seem to be worried about something?" Pang Yuanqing looked at him with concern.

"En." Pang Yuanying hesitated for a while, and pretended to agree with difficulty.

"If my cousin thinks that Yuan Qing is trustworthy, will he talk to Yuan Qing? If you speak out about the worries in your heart, it will definitely relieve you. Maybe I can come up with some ideas to help my cousin relieve his worries." Pang Yuanqing said softly. , the words sound convincing.

"Is it suitable? You promise to keep it secret for me?" When Pang Yuanying raised her hand to look at Pang Yuanqing again, her eyes were already red, and she seemed to be about to cry.

Pang Yuanqing grabbed Pang Yuanying's arm nervously, frowned and asked him what was the matter.

"Of course I will keep it a secret for you, and I won't tell you to death."

"That's good...but I still can't say it, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept scolding me." Pang Yuanying sighed.

"No, no matter what my cousin does, I won't scold him." Pang Yuanqing reassured Pang Yuanying.

After hesitating for a long time, Pang Yuanying suddenly remembered something and asked Pang Yuanqing why he came to see her.

"I heard that my cousin is back, so I came to see my cousin." Pang Yuanqing smiled and asked how the investigation of Pang Yuanying's case was going. "But there has been a lot of progress, so this time I plan to relax for a few days and come back to live?"

"It's hard to move. It's just that staying in Kaifeng Mansion is too depressing to go home to relax. You are really right about relaxing." Pang Yuanying lamented.

"Could it be that my cousin is worried about this case and is afraid of scolding me?" Pang Yuanqing asked tentatively with a smile.

"No, I have something on my mind, and I don't know how to say it. If I don't say it, I'm afraid, and if I say it, I'm afraid that people will look at me badly, so I'm hesitant."

After Pang Yuanqing's gaze paused on Pang Yuanying's face for a moment, he lowered his eyes with a slight smile. "Don't worry about it for a while, my cousin can think it over before we talk about it."

"I want to tell you that the person I trust the most in this family is you." Pang Yuanying held Pang Yuanqing's wrist tightly, "I...I..."

Pang Yuanqing looked at Pang Yuanying with complicated eyes, but did not show any curiosity or doubt.

On the contrary, Pang Yuanying could see a kind of reluctance from his expression.Obviously, Pang Yuanqing didn't want to listen to him.

Pang Yuanying was very surprised by Pang Yuanqing's reaction.Logically speaking, he should be very curious about what he said, unless he already knew what he was going to say.Pang Yuanqing sent someone to monitor him!

Recently he has been investigating the case of Sanchong Pavilion. Pang Yuanqing not only monitors him, but there are also experts ambushing around his residence——

Pang Yuanqing waited for a while, seeing that Pang Yuanying was still hesitating, he smiled politely, with distant eyes and a calm tone.

"I see that my cousin looks tired, and he must have not had a good rest for a long time. Get a good sleep first, and talk about anything when you wake up."

Pang Yuanqing patted the back of Pang Yuanying's hand with his left hand, then pulled his right arm away, got up and said goodbye to Pang Yuanying.

Pang Yuanying got up to speak, but was blocked by Pang Yuanying with the words "I still have something to go out".Immediately, Pang Yuanying saw Pang Yuanqing nod his head again, then turned around and walked away in a gentle manner.

Pang Yuanying looked at Pang Yuanqing's back, his face became more and more serious.

Qing Feng leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Young Master suspects Young Master Qing?"

Pang Yuanying glanced at Qingfeng, went back to lie down on the couch, put his hands on his arms and remained silent.

"Impossible, Mr. Qing has a good character and looks like a gentleman." Qing Feng rubbed his chin for a while and thought about it, then changed his words, "But it's hard to tell if you know people and face but don't know your heart."

Pang Yuanying asked Qingfeng to inquire about the servants around Pang Yuanqing in a low-key manner. Most of them were domestic slaves in the Grand Master's Mansion, and they might provide some clues, such as Pang Yuanqing's true temperament in private.

After Qingfeng left, Pang Yuanying closed his eyes and meditated.The mahogany sword flew up and turned around in the center of the house.During this period of time, he has been followed by people, and Tao Zi has not moved for a long time.Pang Yuanying didn't bother him, and let him make a fuss by himself, while he continued to lie down and rest.

Suddenly, Taomu Jian flew back to the bed and lay quietly beside Pang Yuanying's hand.Pang Yuanying sat up in shock, the motionless mahogany sword already indicated that someone was watching her outside the house.Pang Yuanying listened carefully to the surroundings, but did not notice any abnormal noises.If there is a real person, it must be very easy.

Pang Yuanying immediately thought of Pang Yuanqing who had just left.There are so many masters around him, he just came here to test himself, and now he might send someone to monitor him.

Pang Yuanying lay back on the couch, closed her eyes and continued to doze off.Not long after, the mahogany sword danced around the room again.Pang Yuanying asked Taozi if he knew where the man left.The mahogany sword immediately pointed in the direction of Pang Yuanqing's hospital.

When there was half a plate of peanuts left, Qing Feng came back.

"Master, I have asked those people euphemistically. Mr. Qing has a gentle temper in private and is very easy to serve. All the servants like him, especially the little maids. They will blush and praise him when they mention him. No one said it was bad. But two months ago there was a maidservant who was serving in the prince's room, but now she is gone, no one knows her whereabouts." Qing Feng replied.

"No one knows? The housekeeper doesn't ask if the maid is lost? Madam doesn't care?" Pang Yuanying asked.

Qing Feng scratched her head, "That's right, the housekeeper must know about this matter, I'll ask you now."

After a while, Qing Feng came back and continued to report to Pang Yuanying: "The steward said that Chunyue was instructed by his wife, and he was told not to take care of it."

Pang Yuanying washed her face and went to see Mrs. Zheng immediately.

Seeing her precious son coming to present herself again, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help feeling sorry for him, and sent the kitchen to quickly bring the boiled ginseng soup to Pang Yuanying.

Under Zheng's concerned gaze, after drinking the ginseng soup, Pang Yuanying asked about Chunyue.

"Chunyue?" Mrs. Zheng recalled carefully, "When your cousin moved to our house, your grandmother and I arranged no less than forty maids for him. I can't remember some of them. It seems that there is such a maid , It seems like two months ago, your cousin came to tell me that this maid was unruly and wanted to deal with it. I asked, and I heard that the maid had unruly thoughts, so if you don't get angry, let him go sent out."

"Her parents are slaves in our mansion, where did they send her away?" Pang Yuanying asked.

"I didn't ask much about such trivial matters, but according to the normal way of dealing with it in the mansion, it is nothing more than driving out, selling, or giving away." Mrs. Zheng asked Pang Yuanying to wait a moment, and called Chunyue's father to ask.

As soon as Chunyue's father heard his wife ask about this matter, he knelt and kowtowed to apologize for his mistake, lamenting his fault for not raising such a coquettish and ignorant daughter.As for the whereabouts of his daughter after leaving the mansion, he really didn't know, so he just pretended that he didn't have such a daughter, and felt really ashamed.

"Your wife is bothering you to go back and ask. She may know some news. There is no intention of blaming, you husband and wife don't need to panic, just answer truthfully, if you have any clues, you will be rewarded." After Pang Yuanying sent Chunyue's father away, she followed Zheng's Explained, "This maid is related to the case I want to investigate. Mother must keep it secret for me, and keep it secret from everyone, including father and Yuan Qing."

Zheng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Pang Yuanying was a little surprised, "Isn't mother curious about the reason?"

"Good boy, if you can say it, it's natural to say it. If I can't say it, I will trouble you by asking more." Zheng took Pang Yuanying's hand and said earnestly, "No matter what you do, as long as you don't harm others or yourself , mother supports it. But with your matter, you have to fulfill mother's wish."

Pang Yuanying was very happy that Mrs. Zheng was so open-minded and considerate of herself, and wanted to repay her with filial piety, and asked her what was the matter with a smile, as long as he could do what he could, he would definitely do his best.

"What else can I do, grow up early, marry a wife and have children, so that I can be hugged by a white and fat grandson." Zheng happily tapped Pang Yuanying's forehead with her hand, scolding him for being heartless, even her obvious I didn't realize my wish.

Pang Yuanying was embarrassed, and scratched his forehead with his fingers, "Don't mother know?"

"Know what?" Zheng asked with a smile, his eyes sparkled with love and hope.

Pang Yuanying didn't know what to look into these eyes, but the words got choked up and couldn't speak.He remembered what his little uncle worried about and told him when he went to Zheng Guogong's mansion.The little uncle was worried about his mother's status in the Pang family, because the Zheng family only gave birth to him as a son.And a year ago after the original owner fell into the water, he was seriously ill and was on the verge of death, which was already a great stimulus to Zheng.Now Pang Yuanying really can't bear to repeat what she said to Grand Master Pang to Mrs. Zheng.

"I... I stayed up for several nights. You can see that my eye sockets are dark. I'm so sleepy and tired."

"Hey, my son! Go to sleep now, Qingfeng hasten to help your young master go back, if you don't take care of him, you will die!" Zheng said with a 'threat' with a smile, and sent their master and servant to go to rest quickly .

Pang Yuanying then got a reply from Chunyue's mother.After hearing that Chunyue was sent out of the mansion, she did secretly inquire about Chunyue's whereabouts out of fear.Even though she is an old man in the Grand Master's Mansion, she is still a woman in charge, and knows many people, but she has not heard anything about her daughter Chunyue, and in the end she doesn't know where her daughter has been sent.

"This Chunyue must have been secretly dealt with by Mr. Qing's people." After guessing, Qing Feng shuddered, lamenting that the matter was too terrible, "The eldest lady of Song Guogong's mansion was impersonated before, could it be Mr. Qing as well?" ... I remember that Young Master Xie was taken to our Grand Master's Mansion to be raised when he was thirteen or fourteen years old, and no one in the mansion, including the master and wife, had ever seen him before."

Not long after, news came from Kaifeng Mansion that the pigeon tracking had come to fruition.After all, people can't chase pigeons flying in the sky, especially in the city of Tokyo, where there are many residents in each district and the streets are full of traffic. Tracking in this environment is even more difficult.

Based on the location where the pigeon was last tracked, the Liufang people roughly determined a range: north of Zhouqiao, west of Maxing Street, east of Wazi, and south of Xifu.

After Pang Yuanying circled it on the map, he found that this area basically surrounded most of the residences of high officials and dignitaries.Kaifeng Mansion, Taishi Mansion, Yushi Mansion, Guogong Mansion, etc. are all within the scope.

From this point of view, the dovecote is actually located in the mansions of these dignitaries.
