Chapter 677 Visiting the General’s Mansion
After Yun Zheng wiped her face, she paused.
"The plague hasn't dissipated yet? He just thinks it's easy to fool the people. There is something secretive in Qinghe County."
His eyes narrowed slightly.
Then his expression was shocked and his eyes were filled with horror.
"It's heavily guarded, and a lot of food is being transported there. Could it be that he has his own private army? What is he going to do?"
Yun Zheng pushed the wheelchair out directly, with a serious expression.
"We have too few people and cannot get close, so we cannot investigate for the time being."
Kong Ren only hated his limited abilities.
He wanted to risk his life to go in and find out what was going on, but his master wouldn't allow it.
"Has the Marquis of Wu'an ever been in or out?"
Yun Zheng was thinking about what happened in Qinghe County and whether Marquis Wu'an knew about it.
"We have been hiding here for a few days, but we have never seen Marquis Wu'an go in. Moreover, Marquis Wu'an has seldom visited the military camp recently. Many matters have been handed over to General Pang to handle. He fishes and takes care of flowers and plants every day, and he seems to be enjoying his retirement."
Kong Ren also found it strange.
Although Pang Qingping is the adopted son of Marquis Wu'an and may be the future successor to the title, Marquis Wu'an has always been personally involved in everything and has not completely delegated power.
Why was he released suddenly at this time?
"Marquis Wu'an may not know about the affairs of Qinghe County. I will find an opportunity to tell him about it as a test."
Yun Zheng already had a guess in her mind.
"There is a secret in Qinghe County. Pang Qingping is very ambitious. I suspect he is raising private soldiers and is likely to rebel. Regardless of whether the suspicion is true or false, this matter is obviously not something we can solve. We must report it to His Majesty."
Yun Zheng didn't bring many people this time, only a dozen or so. Although they were all his trusted confidants, their martial arts skills were quite good.
But this was Pingnan County after all, and his father and son's people were everywhere, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
He is not the kind of person who would try to be brave and stop a chariot with a mantis arm.
"Master, since we entered Pingnan County, our every move has been monitored. I'm afraid this news is not easy to spread."
Kong Ren was a little embarrassed.
It took him a lot of effort to run to Qinghe County and get rid of those people.
Transmitting messages is different from others and can be easily discovered.
If Pang Qingping really wanted to rebel, and knew that they knew his secret, he would probably kill them to silence them.
"We may have been led here by him, and now we are trapped in the game."
Yun Zheng's eyes trembled, and she gripped the armrests tightly with both hands, rubbing them a few times.
Think about how you got the news about Madam Zhao in the first place?
It seemed as if there was a net that was spread out specifically towards him.
He inquired about the past of the emperor's eldest grandson with the purpose of finding his remains. After all, the royal heir, even his remains, should not be left outside.
No one around Yun Yi knew about his affairs, only he and Shen Yuan and his wife knew.
He has been investigating secretly.
If it was really Pang Qingping who led him here, then does he know about Yun Yi?
Oh no, Yun Yi might be in danger too!
Yun Zheng's body stiffened, and she felt herself to be stupid.
Shen Yuan had already said that he should investigate the matter, but he was anxious and insisted on investigating it himself.
"We swear to protect our master till death."
Kong Ren was also shocked and knelt down heavily.
"No matter what, the letter must be sent out to let people outside know the news here. It can't be sent to the capital, so it's closer to Daliushu Village."
Cheng Wang Yunzheng went straight to the desk and hurriedly wrote a letter.
He was afraid that something bad might happen to Xiao Yunyi.
"The troops will be divided into two groups. I will take two people to visit Pang Qingping, four people to Qinghe County, four people to Zhao Ma's hometown to inquire about Zhao Ma's news, and two people to wait near the Marquis' Mansion. We will disperse and look to lure away the spies and drag them away.
The main thing for the spy is to follow me. You take someone to Baiji Hotpot City to rest, and find a way to secretly give the letter to the shopkeeper. If someone finds out, destroy the letter and don't let it fall into the hands of the other party."
After saying this, Yun Zheng felt a little worried again.
"Wait until we leave the house, then leave quietly."
Kong Ren understood what his master meant.
There were only so many of them and they had been looking for clues everywhere these days. The master's arrangement was just right to distract the spies' attention.
Especially the master, who actually went to General Pang’s mansion in person to attract most of the attention.
"Yes, Master, don't worry. As long as the trust is in me, I will be there. If I die, the trust will be destroyed."
Kong Ren also felt the seriousness of the matter, and his eyes were full of determination to die.
"No, life is always the most important. Sir Siwei and Wanwan are both smart. I came to Pingnan County in a hurry. They may have guessed something. The letter is not important. If you encounter danger, just destroy it. Saving your life is the most important thing."
Yun Zheng's voice was a little hoarse, and her throat felt a little dry.
There are only a few people around him who can be used, and they have always followed him, not caring that he is a useless cripple.
He hopes they are all well.
Kong Ren's nose felt sore and he kowtowed heavily:
"Yes, master."
On the same day, Yun Zheng sent someone to deliver a visiting card to General Pang’s mansion.
Just saying I need help.
In General Pang’s mansion, Pang Qingping was losing his temper at a subordinate.
"Useless, what a bunch of useless people. The Yang family doesn't need to come back. They can't even do a small thing. Just throw them into the sea to feed the fish!"
We couldn’t even catch a single child, all thanks to the Yang family in Tongxu County.
Not only did they fail to catch the person, but they also alerted the enemy. It will be even more difficult to catch the child again in the future.
Moreover, Shen Yuan is a vigilant person. After this incident, he might have some doubts. He must act quickly.
"Sir, His Royal Highness King Cheng sent a visiting card, saying that he wants to ask for something."
A guard came to report, and Pang Qingping finally came to his senses and suppressed his anger.
"King Cheng is here to visit?"
interesting.
Pang Qingping immediately approved the visiting card.
I don’t know what I was thinking about, but I got up and walked towards the backyard.
Ming Sanniang was sitting in front of the window embroidering a pair of lotus flowers that looked lifelike.
A shadow was cast. Ming Sanniang looked up and saw the general looking at her lovingly. She blushed and put down the embroidery in her hands.
"Why don't you take a break? It's bad for your eyes."
When Pang Qingping was with Ming Sanniang, he was considerate and gentle.
Ming Sanniang smiled and said:
"It's alright, I'm just bored, why is my husband here at this time?"
Ming Sanniang found it strange because her husband usually took care of affairs in the front yard or went to the military camp. He seldom came over after a while.
Pang Qingping seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
Finally, he sighed and said:
"Prince Cheng will be visiting the palace tonight. If Madam doesn't want to see him, you can..."
At this kind of private banquet, the hostess usually comes out to meet the guests and is also responsible for preparing the banquet.
Even if there are no female relatives coming, it would be against etiquette for the hostess not to show up.
Ming Sanniang paused and her hands trembled for no apparent reason, but she quickly calmed down.
"It doesn't matter. It's against the rules for me not to show up when there are guests in the house. What's more, he and I no longer have any relationship. Now we are a loving couple. If I hide, it will seem like I am guilty."
Ming Sanniang was quite open-minded.
When she left him, he thought she had no choice but to do so, and he felt guilty about driving him away.
So many years have passed, and this is still the general's mansion. What is she afraid of?
