Emperor's Grace

When he arrived at Mao, Zhu Yunjing got up and was washing, when someone came from the General Military Mansion, hearing that his son had disappeared, Zhu Yunjing turned pale instantly, kicked away the servant who had come to report in a hurry, and hurried out He went downstairs, got on his horse, and galloped away.

It didn't take half an hour to return to the mansion, Zhu Yunjing jumped off the horse and stumbled into the door, He Huailing came back one step earlier than him, and was interrogating the servants in the mansion with a solemn expression.All the people in the mansion were called to the front yard. One of the two nuns who were in charge of taking care of Yuan Bao last night disappeared with Yuan Bao, and the other was choking up and telling what happened.

Last night she was on duty with another Nanny Deng, at first she didn't notice anything unusual, but in the second half of the night she was a little sleepy, and seeing that the young master was sleeping soundly, she told that Nanny Deng to keep an eye on the young master I dozed off, but when I woke up, I found that there was no one in the room, and the child was gone.

The guard in charge of the gate said that there was a dung truck taking Gong Tong out from the side gate at Yinshi, and I am afraid that the child was taken out at that time.

Zhu Yunjing anxiously asked He Huailing: "Why did this happen? Will the people you brought from Beijing also have problems?"

He Huailing's expression became more severe, and he asked the others: "Have you noticed anything unusual about Mother Deng recently?"

The servants looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to explain why, insisting on saying that there was a difference, that is, she seemed to have put on more powder on her face than before, and the other people didn't take it seriously at first.

At this moment, the guards in the town came to report that a body was found in a dry well blocked by a big stone a few streets away, and it should be the missing Madam Deng, but judging by the degree of decay of the body, it would be scary to die. It's been more than ten days at least.

He Huailing frowned upon hearing this: "Is there any suspicious person in the town recently?"

The guard hesitated and said, "...should not be."

Most of the people living in this town are the family members of the officers of the Guan army here, and even passing caravans do not go here, and there are very few outsiders, not to mention that after the former Qian Zongbing was assassinated, the defenders in the town Once upon a time more.No one thought that the nanny of the General Military Mansion would be killed quietly. If something had not happened today, it is unknown when someone would find out.

All the servants were panicked, Mother Deng had been dead for so many days, so what was with them for more than ten days?

It was the Fuzhong Guan who realized it in advance and said: "Ten days ago, Madam Deng did go out to buy things in the street, but she came back about an hour later."

Zhu Yunjing said anxiously: "Someone must have killed her and disguised herself as her, sneaked into the mansion and took Yuanbao away!"

He Huailing's thick eyebrows frowned even tighter: "The disguise technique is not easy, not many people know it, and the most capable ones I know can only be seven-pointed."

The one he kept by himself with good craftsmanship was found from Yi people by chance. Last time he pretended to be the businessman surnamed Li and sneaked into the banquet of Zeng's family because the businessman surnamed Li had just met in Huyang City. There were not many of him and he was full of beards, so he managed to get away with it. If he wanted to pretend to be a nanny of ingots to enter the General Military Mansion, and not be noticed by anyone for so many days, he would have to dress up at least nine times. It is only possible to be similar.

"What's impossible! Then Qian Zongbing can be assassinated in the mansion, and the Yuanbao is stolen?!" Zhu Yunjing gritted his teeth, "Chen Bo! It must be him! Yesterday he I was caught, and the ingot was stolen in the night! He must have done it! I'll go find him right away!"

Zhu Yunjing was about to rush out angrily, but was stopped by He Huailing: "Calm down, you don't have any evidence, what's the use of going to him?"

"I can't calm down!" Zhu Yunjing's eyes turned red, "What if Yuan Bao really has something wrong in his hands?! If there is no evidence, there is no evidence! You just lead the soldiers to search his house! Do you still want to throw a rat trap if you lose it?!"

He Huailing's hand clasped his shoulder, squeezed it hard, paused, and lowered his voice: "Okay."

Chen Bo's mansion is not far from the General Military Mansion. He was transferred to Qiongguan three years ago, and his family members followed him. His wife is the daughter of a second-rank feudal official.

He Huailing brought hundreds of soldiers and horses over and surrounded the Chen residence. Chen Bo came out with a calm face and a faint smile on his lips, and said leisurely: "The general said yesterday that I should go back to the residence to avoid suspicion. , wait until the matter is clarified, but today you bring people to surround my mansion, what is the meaning of this?"

He Huailing lowered his gaze, yesterday he should have directly taken him down.It’s also to blame for Vice President Na Ding’s impulsiveness. The captured caravan indeed contained goods that were prohibited by the imperial court from being sold to the barbarians, but no iron artifacts were found, so even if the people were captured, it would not be a big crime. Dante Because of Qian Zongbing's death, Yang was anxious to find trouble with Chen Bo. After prying open the mouths of those businessmen, he immediately brought people to question Chen Bo.Based on the one-sided words of those businessmen, Chen Bo would naturally not admit that he had given him convenience, and He Huailing had no choice but to ask him to go back to his house to temporarily avoid suspicion, but he did not expect that what happened today would happen. He should be like Ding Yang said, no matter how many people there are, he should first detain the person before talking.

Without waiting for He Huailing to speak, Zhu Yunjing directly pulled out the saber that was pinned to his waist, pointed the tip of the sword at Chen Bo, and said in a cold voice, "Hand over my son!"

Chen Bo smiled, without any fear: "Why can't I understand Ma'am? When did you have a son?"

"Stop pretending to me! Who else could it be if you didn't do it?!"

When they thought about it carefully, they thought that the fact that there was an extra child in the mansion could be kept secret, but those who are interested can see the clue as long as they pay attention to the daily purchases in the mansion. They are staring at Chen Bo, how could Chen Bo? Don't bother to stare at them.

Chen Bo lowered his voice and reminded Zhu Yunjing: "Madam, I am also an imperial court official, are you going to lynch me?"

He Huailing pressed Zhu Yunjing's shoulder, motioned him to put down his sword, and raised his hand again, the soldiers behind him took a step forward: "Go in and search."

Chen Bo's pupils narrowed slightly: "Although you are a general, you don't have the right to search my house at will, right? Besides, the backyard is full of female relatives, and my wife is also here. If you send these people in to search, what will they do in the future? "

He Huailing shook the imperial decree with him: "Before I was transferred, Your Majesty had secretly ordered me to investigate the cause of Qian Zongbing's death. Now I suspect that his death is related to you. The evidence is hidden in your house. Can you go in and search it?" ?”

A strange look flashed in Chen Bo's eyes, and he said calmly, "General, you must have thought clearly. If you send people to search in this way, if nothing is found in the end, it proves that you have wronged me. This matter can't be resolved. I will definitely report the matter to His Majesty."

"what ever."

He Huailing personally led the troops in, led the people to search inside for an entire hour, searched every corner three times back and forth, even the wells were not spared, and the Chen family jumped up and down, but the result was Nothing was found, neither the son nor anything suspicious.

Chen Bo sat by the door and drank tea calmly. When He Huailing came out, he asked him with a half-smile, "Did the general find the evidence that I assassinated General Qian?"

He Huailing ignored him, and rushed to Zhu Yunjing who had been waiting for a long time and shook his head slightly, leaving behind a group of people who were still guarding at the gate of the Chen Mansion, and pulled the distraught Zhu Yunjing into the car: "Go back first. .”

After sitting in the car, Zhu Yunjing held back tears for a long time and instantly fell, grabbed He Huailing's sleeve and said in a hoarse voice: "What about Yuanbao..."

This was the second time that He Huailing saw him cry. The last time was in the cold palace, Zhu Yunjing cried for the child in her stomach to save him, but this time it was for their child.

"Don't worry, Yuan Bao will definitely be found, and he will be fine." He Huailing comforted Zhu Yunjing in a low voice. The anxiety and worry in his heart were no less than Zhu Yunjing's, but Zhu Yunjing was already panicked. , he must remain calm.

Zhu Yunjing raised her hand and wiped her face indiscriminately, her voice choked up: "I am really useless, Yuan Bao should be the most honorable eldest grandson of the emperor in the world, not only can I not give him these things, but now I even mess with him Lost, if he had a chance..."

"No," He Huailing interrupted Zhu Yunjing, "Don't scare yourself, the person who stole the child must have something in mind, and he shouldn't do anything to Yuan Bao for the time being, let's get him back soon That's it."

"But he's still only that big, what if he's thirsty, hungry, or scared?" Zhu Yunjing became more and more worried, He Huailing was speechless for a while, and patted his hand, comforting him silently.

After returning home, Jiang Yan came to report in a hurry, saying that he had taken people to Xinghua Street in Huyang City to search, and that Yu Xianger, Chen Boyang's concubine there, had disappeared, and it also disappeared in the middle of the night yesterday.

He Huailing's eyes dimmed upon hearing this, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Go to the camp now and mobilize [-] soldiers, and follow me to Huyang City later, on the grounds of searching for spies of barbarians who sneaked into the pass. Let the whole city be under martial law, search from house to house, and make sure to find the child."

Although I don't know why He Huailing even gave birth to his son, this is not the time to ask this, Jiang Yan worriedly reminded: "General, will it be too good to engage in such a big battle? After all, Huyang City has too many eyes miscellaneous……"

"Nothing, you go."

After instructing Jiang Yan, He Huailing ordered someone to send a message to Ding Yang: "Tell Vice President Ding to keep an eye on the gate in person. Any goods coming in and out must be thoroughly checked. Everyone who passes through the gate must be questioned one by one. Suspicious and directly deducted."

Zhu Yunjing, who had been in a daze all this time, suddenly said, "I'll go with you."

He Huailing sighed inwardly, but he didn't say the words of persuasion: "Okay."
