Cheng Yi walked out of the house, and the confidant he brought was gone.

The yard was pitch black and there was no sound at all. At this moment, it seemed that you would be swallowed up when you walked out of here.

Cheng Yi was not timid, and held the long sword around his waist, walked out of the house with great strides, and was about to go outside Yifu Inn to see the situation. As soon as he walked into the yard, he felt a strong wind coming from beside him.

Cheng Yi immediately turned around and dodged. He had been in and out of the military camp. Although he was idle at home because of his son-in-law's identity over the years, he did not let down his fist and foot skills and would not be suppressed by one move. After avoiding it, he immediately drew out his long sword. The sword had just waved over and "bang" and collided with the opponent's sharp blade.

Cheng Yi felt the tiger's mouth numb, and the sword almost came out. He was about to cheer up again, but the opponent swept and kicked him in the waist and abdomen. Cheng Yi stabilized the lower plate and continued to resist. In just two or three moves, a cold sweat broke out on Cheng Yi's forehead. The opponent was more powerful than he thought. I'm afraid he would be captured by the opponent soon.

"Who is it?" Cheng Yi asked at this moment, but the man did not answer.

"Are you here to get the silver?" Cheng Yi said while gasping, "I didn't bring all the 100,000 taels of silver notes with me, and some of them were hidden. If you want to get it... you can do it according to the rules." Knowing that he was here, he took action without saying a word, maybe he would kidnap his mother and others.

As soon as Cheng Yi finished speaking, he saw someone coming out of the darkness and running towards the room where he lived. These people were masked in black. It seemed that his judgment was correct. These people were here to snatch money.

Cheng Yi secretly regretted it. He booked the Yifu Inn and told the inn shopkeeper and the staff not to come out. Now someone suddenly broke in, and there was not even a person who reported the news to the government.

However, what's the use of telling the government? Even if he survives, his mother may be killed.

"Let's talk..." Cheng Yi was still clear at the critical moment. "This is not the best solution. As long as my mother is still alive, I will do how much money you want..."

Before Cheng Yi could finish his words, his arm hurt and was already hit. Then his leg was suppressed. It was too late for him to break free. His right leg knee was kneeling on the ground, half of his body was completely pinched. He raised his head and saw that a man in black who broke into the room had an extra bag in his arms. The bag was used to hold silver bills.

The bandit kidnapped his mother and asked him to exchange it for 100,000 taels of silver. He used the silver notes that were exchanged from the money shop. He always carried them closely. He always felt that no matter what happened, there was still a fight. Even if the bandits came to rob him, he could threaten the bandits. If they forced them, they would destroy the silver notes. At that time, they would not get anything, but they did not expect these people to appear suddenly and would not give him any time to react.

Cheng Yi opened his mouth and wanted to speak again, but his throat was pinched. As soon as the man exerted force, his throat would be crushed immediately.

Cheng Yi was stunned and grabbed his shoulders, his whole body was lifted, the door next to him was opened, and he was dragged into the room.

Everything happened in an instant. These people were like evil spirits who locked their lives. They were neat and could not fight. His confidants who were guarding the yard must have been killed, right?

Cheng Yi regretted it, not because he was about to die, but because he didn't do the whole thing well. If he didn't look for his mother, there might not be any accidents in his mother. Now he has implicated Mr. Lu and others to take their lives. What will happen to the princess when she hears the news? I hope the emperor can treat her well and find a good marriage for her.

Cheng Yi made his last struggle: "You can kill me, let my mother go, she has nothing left, she is just an ordinary woman, let her go, I will tell you where the remaining silver bills are."

"Do you think they are murderers or Bodhisattvas in the temple? Begging for mercy is useless."

A cold voice sounded from the darkness, and then the lights in the room lighted up. Cheng Yi saw the person in front of him slowly pulling down the black scarf on his face and revealing his face.

Cheng Yi opened his eyes wide, it was not a bandit but Wei Yuanchen.

Wei Yuanchen has something to do with those bandits? This idea flashed through Cheng Yi's mind, and he immediately denied that if Wei Yuanchen had something to do with bandits, he would have killed him neatly and would never have been rude.

"Why did the prince consort come to Shanxi? The mother you mentioned just now refers to the biological mother who has been dead for many years?" Wei Yuanchen sat on the chair and reached out to pour two cups of tea. "Is the prince consort willing to tell the truth?"

After Wei Yuanchen said this, he looked at the sky outside: "It's almost dawn. I'm going to ride a horse back to the inn and follow the prince to escort the prisoner back to the capital. The prince consort and I don't have much time." He was right. He spent the whole night running around the road, and it's time to set off when he returned to the inn.

While in the inn, Wei Yuanchen had just finished handling official duties and lay down to rest. Nie Chen sent a message saying that the people living in Shiliting Yifu Inn had suspicious points. He ordered Chujiu to take people to check with Nie Chen. Chujiu had to take people away, so he changed his mind and prepared to come in person.

Nie Chen was so quick to do things, he must have received news from Miss Gu and was so anxious to report to him. It can be seen that Miss Gu concluded that this matter was quite serious. Since this way, he should go in person.

When he was riding a horse halfway, he felt more clear when the wind blew. He admitted that Gu Mingzhu was very powerful, but he had never trusted anyone so much. Whether it was a folk or her various identities, he became more and more comfortable in cooperation. The news she found was also subtly affecting his judgment of the situation. Perhaps it was just because everyone was less alert on the same road now.

When he arrived at Yifu Inn, he saw that the people who were staying in the inn were well-trained and their horses were all of the best horses, so he further confirmed the identity of the people in the inn. Since they said that their relatives were kidnapped by bandits, he pretended to be bandits to test the truth and reality. Sure enough, he saw Princess Huairou's son-in-law rushing out of the house in a hurry.

Cheng Yi stood up from the ground for a while, then walked to the chair and sat down, picked up the tea on the table. Because his arm was just hurt, he trembled a little when he picked up the cup. Fortunately, Wei Yuanchen did not fill the tea.

Thinking about what happened just now, it seems like I lost once, and now I am sitting here drinking tea happily, as if I was in a dream.

Even if he didn't say it clearly, Wei Yuanchen should be able to guess the rough out of his words just now. He would ask him like this to give him a chance...

Before Cheng Yi spoke, he wanted to say: This matter involves the situation of my biological mother in the future. Please ask Lord Wei to raise his hands and not tell others if you know the truth. However, he thought about it and did not say it out loud. Just as Wei Yuanchen said, he followed the prince back to Beijing, holding the case of Taiyuan Prefecture in his hand, and did not have the time to care about his family affairs, unless his affairs involved the court. Thinking about the bandits who asked him to go east, the team that followed the prince back to Beijing, Cheng Yi's guess was even heavier.

Mr. Lu was right. There was a fog in front of him to distinguish the direction at all. He should ask someone to help him.

Wei Yuanchen said: "What the prince consort encountered may be related to the case we investigated in Taiyuan Prefecture." As he said that, he took a sip of tea. The tea in the inn was crude, but it was very sweet for a person who traveled a long distance, not to mention that the prince consort had no other choice.

Cheng Yi swallowed and said, "My biological mother, Zhao, is still alive. She was kidnapped by bandits half a month ago. I came to Taiyuan Mansion to save my biological mother."

Wei Yuanchen nodded: "The war horse case in Taiyuan Prefecture involves the Shanxi mutiny twelve years ago."

Cheng Yi opened his eyes widened when he heard this and stood up excitedly: "Is there another story about the mutiny in Shanxi? My grandfather must have been wronged." When his grandfather passed away, his mother told him that his grandfather was wronged. He was poor grandfather and finally got such a reputation. As a daughter of the Zhao family, he could not do nothing. Is this time the kidnapped was related to the mutiny in Shanxi?

How many inside stories he didn't know about? Cheng Yi began to sit down and stood up for a while and bowed to Wei Yuanchen: "I'd like to ask Lord Wei for advice."

Wei Yuanchen helped Cheng Yi up: "You must not do this. If your husband believes in me, just pretend to be nothing and do what you say, and do as the bandits say. I will help you in the dark."

Cheng Yi came down without hesitation.

Wei Yuanchen said: "The prince consort is about to arrive at Taiyuan Prefecture now, tell me carefully."

...

It's getting brighter.

Gu Mingzhu woke up from her sleep and slept very comfortably.

The servants have already started preparing and will continue to rush forward after everyone has eaten their meals.

After eating two bowls of fragrant corn porridge and shouting for a candied fruit, Gu Mingzhu stepped onto the carriage and was about to ask Baotong to ask Liu Su for information. Nie Chen didn't know if he had found Huairou's son-in-law last night, but he heard Baotong's voice coming from outside.

Baotong said in a depressed voice: "Madam, look at what this is?"

Mrs. Lin lifted the curtain of the car, Gu Mingzhu leaned over to look, and saw Baotong holding a big black chicken in her arms.

"Chunjiu, who is beside Lord Wei, said that this chicken does not eat, so let us help take care of it."
