Chapter 331 Li Yuanfang is scarier than a ghost...
"That is Ming Chongyan, the deputy cabinet minister of Meihua Internal Guard. He is a warm-hearted person and he took the initiative to help this time."
"I know this man. When I first returned to Chang'an, the Queen ordered me to assassinate him. Fortunately, I didn't accept the order. An outsider has a conscience than the Yang family's relatives, and it is even rarer to be placed among such vicious internal guards as you!"
Li Yan took Yang Zaiwei to Yang Chongji's mansion. The two of them were sitting on a big tree, looking towards the main hall with their eyes like torches.
Ming Chongyan, who became a guest inside, successfully won the title of "Gu Dao Re Chang" and "Conscience Internal Guard".
It has to be said that with Ming Chongyan's magnanimous appearance, coupled with the Tang Dynasty's belief in Taoism, being a plum blossom inner guard is a bit humiliating.
He should be a professional magician who can easily win the trust of others with his excellent alchemy skills.
This was the case at this time. Seeing that Yang Chongji's family was extremely sad, Ming Chongyan took out a few bottles of elixirs and the Yang family members drank them. They felt much better and came out to express their thanks.
Ming Chongyan raised his palms and saluted with a fairy-like tone: "Helping others is like helping yourself. You good believers don't need to be too polite!"
Not to mention his family members, Yang Chongji became completely close to him, and he also put on a Taoist robe: "I also believe in Taoism, and I am about to ask Taoist Master Ming for advice!"
During the reign of Emperor Gaozong, people in the Tang Dynasty did not worship Taoism as much as Buddhists. By the time of Li Longji, Taoist robes had almost become a must-have for high-ranking officials. They were even worn longer than official robes. I don’t know what to look at.
I went there thinking that all the people in the dynasty were Taoists.
At this moment, a Taoist lecture was taking place in the main hall. The two people outside the hall observed for a moment. Li Yan suddenly said: "Do you think Yang Chongji's family also knows the truth about the missing child?"
Yang Zaiwei looked at the family members who could not hide their grief, and shook his head slightly: "How can such a thing be known to everyone? I guess Yang Chongji knows it well!"
Li Yan said: "Yang Chongji is the head of the family. If this matter is really a tacit understanding between the Yang family's houses, it will definitely not be hidden from him. But at the same time, to implement it, the slaves will need to cooperate deliberately, and Ya Po succeeded..."
Yang Zaiwei nodded: "It is true that Yang Chongji can't do it alone. Since the investigation starts from within the Yang Mansion, we should start the investigation from the servants around the young lady."
Li Yan said: "The inner guards have recently hanged many high-ranking officials of the Yang family. It is not convenient for me to show up. You can go ahead!"
Yang Zaiwei raised his eyebrows: "You let me go alone?"
Li Yan said: "It's not alone, I will watch from behind, go ahead!"
Yang Zaiwei was still a little doubtful, and his body swayed like a ghost, but finally stopped where he was: "I'm going!"
Li Yan said angrily: "Why are you acting like an eagle to me? Just go and go, what kind of fake move are you doing?"
Yang Zaiwei was furious: "Li Yuanfang, just wait!"
This is so disrespectful. After he finds out the matter, he must run away and make this arrogant guy regret it!
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Zaiwei jumped up, his body was like lightning, and after a few ups and downs, he disappeared in the front yard.
Not only was his speed extremely fast, the bones on his body creaked, and his body shape also changed slightly. His slightly tall and thin figure became more powerful, and his entire face and outline looked a bit more majestic.
His facial features have obviously not changed, but his temperament has changed, from a murderous assassin to a majestic official.
When he arrived at the servant's courtyard with this appearance, he walked directly in without concealing his figure.
The steward came out and was surprised: "Mr. Sir, why are you here?"
Yang Zaiwei said coldly: "I am an internal guard and I am here to investigate the murder of your lady. You can go to the main hall to ask your Alang for confirmation."
The steward was swept away by his majestic eyes, and then he thought that the Meihua guards dared to investigate even the officials from all over the dynasty. He trembled all over and said quickly: "My Alang is receiving the leader of your pavilion in the hall. How dare you doubt your nobleness?"
identity of?"
Yang Zaiwei nodded: "Seeing that you are very articulate, I just want to ask you, were all the servants who lost my mother that day were beaten to death?"
This question was filled with murderous intent, and the steward shrank his neck and said dryly: "Originally, Alang was going to be punished severely, but my wife worshiped Buddhism and said that the matter was over and killing more would have no effect, so she bypassed them.
A cheap life."
Yang Zaiwei narrowed his eyes: "All forgiven?"
The steward said: "I forgive them all, but they are exempted from the death penalty. They can no longer work in the house. I will give them thirty lashes and drive them out of the house."
Yang Zaiwei said: "It has only been a few days. Is there any way to find these servants?"
The steward hesitated: "This..."
He didn't want to get into trouble, but deliberately concealing it would also lead to trouble. He simply said: "Young man is not familiar with these people, but there are people who are friendly with them. They should know where to go."
Yang Zaiwei said: "Lead the way."
With a majestic and stern temperament, coupled with resolute work efficiency, Yang Zaiwei soon left the mansion with a servant who knew the whereabouts of the servants, and even nodded to the plum blossom guard guarding the door.
He walked out with a majestic look, and the Meihua guards did not dare to be vague. They nodded in the same way, and the two sides passed by each other. Everything was so normal.
The only thing that was abnormal was that Yang Zaiwei was in every corner where he could hide, and his eyes kept scanning, but he still found no trace of anyone, and his face could not help but tighten.
Reason told him that Li Yuanfang couldn't really let him go. He should be keeping an eye on him secretly, but why couldn't he be found?
Yang Zaiwei rolled his eyes, and when he turned a corner and couldn't see the Yang Mansion behind him, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the servant, spread his legs, and ran away.
When the servant screamed, he felt the world spinning, and the strong wind hitting his face made him unable to open his eyes, and he could only let out a shrill scream.
But the scream was soon blocked in his throat. Yang Zaiwei blocked his voice and dragged him wildly for two streets. He didn't stop until he was panting slightly, looked around again, raised his head and smiled:
"Li Yuanfang, if you have the ability, ride a horse to chase me. You may regret it now!"
The servant really regretted it. He was so upset that he almost vomited.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When Yang Zaiwei saw it, he pressed his abdomen and said, "Let's go!"
The servant stopped vomiting and asked tremblingly, "Alang, what happened just now?"
Yang Zaiwei waved his hand: "This is my inner guard's usual style of doing things. You don't need to ask any more questions. Once you find the person, you can leave!"
The servant showed fear, and suddenly felt that his previous complaints about life were really unnecessary.
I heard that this guard was a very powerful official, but the work was really hard, and he actually ran the whole time. Even the most demanding wife in the house was not so cruel...
He didn't dare to think too much and walked forward with fluttering legs.
Yang Zaiwei was not just running around. He had found out where those people were before. At this time, he walked one street further and arrived outside Beishi City.
The servant explained: "We, the slaves, are not qualified to live and work even if we leave the house. If such a disaster happens, other houses will not want them. They should be helping at the dock. This is the best place in the city these days."
, I heard that the wages are the best."
Yang Zaiwei looked at the water transport terminal and was a little surprised.
I remember that when he came here some time ago, there was no chaos here, but all kinds of ships were crowded and blocked, and the efficiency was very poor. He didn't expect it to be so orderly now.
He just looked at it as a curiosity, his mind was not on this, so he walked forward with his servants, described the appearance of those people, and actually asked for the news: "There are these people coming, right over there.
"
Yang Zaiwei's eyes lit up with joy, he strode forward and found his target.
Seven or eight servants were carrying heavy objects down. Their hands and feet were not flexible and their steps were a little staggering.
Considering that they were whipped thirty times when they left the mansion, the fact that they were able to work so quickly showed that the beating was not serious. If they had really let go of the whipping, half of their lives would have been lost.
However, when they saw Yang's servants approaching, their expressions changed dramatically and they were about to run away.
Yang Zaiwei said coldly: "Stop!"
The servants stopped and bowed down in fear: "We are guilty! We are guilty!"
Yang Zaiwei waved his hand: "I am not from your house, and I am not here to condemn you. I will leave after asking a few questions. Yang Youniang was abducted by Yapo, who is responsible?"
The servants looked at each other, stiff and silent.
Yang Zaiwei's face darkened, unable to suppress the anger and hatred in his heart: "You have to think clearly, you are no longer from the Yang family. If you don't tell the truth, you will be implicated. Mrs. Yang believes in Buddhism and does not commit murder.
I won’t be so merciful!”
The servants trembled all over, and finally someone couldn't help but said: "It's not our fault, it was Manager Yang who suddenly fell ill on the street and suffered severe pain in his abdomen. I was all around him at that time, and as soon as he turned around,
The little girl disappeared..."
Yang Zaiwei asked: "Manager Yang? Is his original surname Yang, or was he given the surname Yang?"
The servant said: "I was given a surname."
Yang Zaiwei raised his eyebrows: "That's the loyal servant."
One of the methods used by high-ranking families to win over their servants is to give them surnames. Generally, the generals give them to their personal guards and attendants. There are also servants, but they must be loyal servants who are highly trusted by their masters.
Because the surname is on the outside, it symbolizes the reputation of a famous family. If the slave given the surname does something bad, it will drag down the master's reputation.
Yang Zaiwei glanced around: "It seems that Manager Yang is not among you?"
The servant muttered: "Guanshi Yang was taken back his surname and kicked out of the mansion, but his family is rich, so naturally he will not work as hard here as us..."
Yang Zaiwei said: "Tell me the location of his house."
Let the servants of the Yang Mansion go home by themselves. This time Yang Zaiwei robbed the rich and gave to the poor. He picked a horse belonging to a rich man, got on it, and headed to the south of the city.
With the fast horse, the scenery on both sides was even more lightning-fast. However, when passing the intersection, he thought of the young girl who was also abducted but died under the horse's hooves, and subconsciously slowed down the horse.
Even so, in less than half an hour, he arrived at Xiuxianfang in the south of the city.
Manager Yang's house is here. It can't be compared with the mansion of a third-grade official, but it is still a mansion.
But when they reached the main entrance of the house after half a circle, Yang Zaiwei suddenly reined in the reins.
Because there was a man standing in front of the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
But after blinking, the man suddenly disappeared again.
He suddenly looked horrified.
With his eyes open, he didn't see clearly how that person disappeared. Was he really a ghost in broad daylight?
The key is why does that ghost look like Li Yuanfang?
"I'm afraid if I haven't been in prison for a long time, everyone I see will look like Li Yuanfang..."
"An illusion, it must be an illusion!"
After searching the area carefully, Yang Zaiwei returned to the house in confusion, found a reasonable explanation, and walked in with a cold voice behind his back.
