Chapter 75 Wang Man's Tracks (Please follow up!!)

"Still not found?"

Inside Jinyiwei's Suzhou Mansion's Qianhu Office, Peng Ke scolded Hua Ping'an angrily.

Jin Yiwei searched for Wang Man for almost a week, but he didn't find any clues!
A living person, and a beautiful woman at that.

With Jin Yiwei's ability, how could he not find any clues!
"My lord, the brothers in all the guards have checked the carrier pigeons in the entire Jiangnan, and there is no suspicious person!"

"It's not the exchange between some wealthy households and pen pals, or the letters exchanged between businessmen, or the battle posts sent by some knight-errants."

"Not a single letter has anything to do with that Acacia Pie!"

"All the disciples of the Hehuan Sect who are outside are under the surveillance of Jin Yiwei. For a whole week, they haven't contacted anyone or sent any news."

"There are more than 100 million people in the entire Suzhou Prefecture. With such a clueless situation, and you can't search from house to house, it is very difficult to find someone who deliberately concealed his whereabouts!"

Hua Ping'an had a mournful face, an expression of his subordinates really trying their best.

It's not that he doesn't work hard, it's that Jin Yiwei is really not omnipotent!

This is clearly beyond their capabilities!
Peng Ke waved his hand with a headache, signaling Hua Pingan to stop complaining.

"Let me think about it."

The Knights Island has been cleaned up, and now the sects in the south of the Yangtze River that need to be liquidated are the Hualian Sect, the Liangyi Sword Sect, and the Hehuan Sect.

There is not much time left for Penke.

No matter how much he procrastinates, he should be able to take down the Hualian Sect and the Liangyi Sword Sect within half a month.

By that time, if Wang Man has not been caught, he can only choose to uproot the internal and external veins of the Acacia Sect, but this will cause Wang Man, the head of the Acacia Sect, to abscond with the "Falling in Love".

Or he can't move the Hehuanzong for the time being, and just go back home, waiting for Wang Man's next move. It's best to wait until she turns to the Huanzong, and then find a chance to wipe out the Hehuanzong.

But Penke didn't like this passive waiting at all.

He frowned, with one hand behind his back, and kept pacing back and forth in the hall, thinking.

If he were Wang Man, where would he hide?
It should not be far away from Suzhou Prefecture.

Because of the distance, it will inevitably be troublesome to receive news, and it is also difficult to receive first-hand news in a timely manner.

Therefore, Wang Man should still be in Suzhou Mansion before he made any obvious big moves against the Hehuan Sect.

But the question is, Suzhou Mansion is so big, where will Wang Man hide?

Peng Ke put himself into Wang Man's perspective.

Where is the safest place in Suzhou Prefecture?

For her, it must be a wealthy family.

Jinyiwei has only been established for more than ten years now, and the power of Jinyiwei is not that great.

Most of them acted on the orders of the emperor, but it was just a knife that the emperor used.

And most of the time the knife is aimed at officials, not ordinary people.

The two seniors of Peng Ke, because when they were the commanders of Jin Yiwei, Jin Yiwei abused his power and behaved like a favor.

Therefore, Jinyiwei's rights to internal and external prisons and imperial prisons were abolished by Emperor Hongwu just two years ago.

Without the emperor's order, it would be impossible for Jin Yiwei to arrest people casually, let alone break into houses by force and arrest people without order.

Previously, Peng Ke could arrest those Jianghu people at will. It was because Emperor Hongwu gave him the right to clean up the Jianghu.

It can be regarded as acting on orders, with the emperor's endorsement for him.

But if he went to Suzhou Fu Street now, he would randomly arrest the head of a wealthy family and lock him up.

Then he is an official.

The emperor did not give him the right to attack the people at will.

Yes, the wealthy households in Daming are just ordinary people, not some privileged class.

In the eyes of Emperor Hongwu, the Mu family was nothing more than a family of wealthy people.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, officials of the Ming Dynasty would be very afraid of Jinyiwei, nobles would be very afraid of Jinyiwei, and soldiers of the army would also be afraid of Jinyiwei.

But ordinary people without officials and jobs are not afraid of Jinyiwei at all, because Jinyiwei can't find them.

They should be more afraid of the county magistrate who ruined the family and the petty official who destroyed the family.

In the Ming Dynasty, Jin Yiwei seldom interacted with ordinary people.

So if Wang Man wants to hide, it must be best to hide among the common people.

Plus the "Falling in Love" she learned.

If Peng Ke had to choose, he would definitely choose a big family in Suzhou Prefecture, preferably a big businessman with a lot of money but no official background.

Like the Mu family!

As soon as this direction became clear, Pen Ke's mind immediately became active.

"Two years ago, I started to clean up the rivers and lakes according to His Majesty's request."

"So if Wang Man wants to find a way out, that is, what happened in the last two years, it is impossible to prepare too early."

"Even if she didn't trust Yan Qingbo a long time ago, it started from Yan Qingbo's disobedience three years ago!"

"Three years is definitely not enough for Wang Man to cultivate a disciple who has practiced "The Jue of Falling in Love" to great success."

"So Yan Qingbo's grasp of the number of internal vein disciples should be accurate."

"That is to say, if you want to find a way out, Wang Man can only do it by yourself!"

"She must prepare a reasonable identity for herself that can be hidden in the city, so that she can escape with a broken tail."

"And this identity must bring her financial benefits, otherwise, she and a few trained disciples alone will not be able to revive a sect!"

"So, she is sure, and she can only choose to personally use the "Falling in Love" to control a wealthy merchant's family as her own identity."

"The wife of a rich family can still have enough funds to facilitate the revival of the Hehuan Sect in the future!"

"Otherwise, she would not have the ability to get tens of thousands of taels of silver to rebuild the Hehuan Sect by herself!"

The more Peng Ke talked, the brighter his eyes became.

Hua Pingan, who had been listening to Peng Ke's reasoning, nodded in agreement.

Your lord's inference is reasonable, and the possibility is very high!

In fact, Hua Pingan also had some guesses before, but it was not as clear as Peng Ke. Now that Peng Ke connected them together, he immediately opened the door to Hua Pingan's thinking!

He said excitedly: "In the past two years, the patriarch of a certain rich family in Suzhou Prefecture, not even limited to the patriarch, as long as the family disciple has a continuation or takes a concubine, they should be included in the observation target!"

"Especially if someone is marrying an older bride, it is very likely to be the Suzerain of the Hehuan Sect!"

But Peng Ke shook his head and denied, "There is no need to limit yourself to age!"

"Although Wang Man is nearly forty years old, the Hehuan Sect has some maintenance secrets. Although it won't make her face last forever, as long as she maintains it properly, it can at least make her look seven or eight years younger!"

"Even if she supplements with some charm techniques, those wealthy households can make those rich people think that she is in her 20s!"

"After all, when it comes to confusing men, all the witches of the Hehuan Sect are very good at it!"

"Hua Qianhu, immediately go and find out all the information about the big families in Suzhou Prefecture who have married wives in the past two years!"

"Don't startle the snake, just investigate the situation clearly!"

"Collect it into a report and sort it out as soon as possible!"

"Here!" Hua Ping'an clasped his fists in a salute, turned around and left in a hurry, and went to carry out the order.

Just as Hua Pingan stepped out of the room, he bumped into Ahu who was facing him.

"My son!!"

"Ying Tian Mansion sent a report, saying that Miss Mu Mansion came to Suzhou by train early this morning!"

"Also, the fact that you took Miss Gu to the expedition has already been rumored in Yingtian Mansion!"

Peng Ke, who was proud of his deduction, trembled with fright when he heard this.

"what?!"

"Who's mouth is so owed!"

　Please read more and save the children.

　　The next week's follow-up grades are still very important to determine whether the book can be admitted to Sanjiang.

　　In all fairness, the theme of steampunk is too mixed, not only for history but also for science fiction.

　　Only readers of other categories can see it after going to Sanjiang.

　　Give your kids a chance to be exposed! !
