Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

"Big, people, things."

He bit every word, and the words were quite playful.

Ye Jingyuan never believed that it was groundless, but if it was really some great person, how could people notice his whereabouts and even move to the teahouse for the entertainment of all the tea drinkers?
He thought for a while, then asked, "And then? What's the story of that storyteller?"

The man in gray replied, "There is no special background, and he is not even famous, but our people followed him for a while and found that they lost it."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head a little ashamedly.

I thought I was just an ordinary person, and I came to the teahouse to have a meal, but I didn't expect to be offered a dish in the end.

He was ready to be scolded by the governor, but Ye Jingyuan had no intention of getting angry at all right now, but frowned, and said in a puzzled tone, "Lost you?!"

"Yes."

The man in gray continued, "The last place he disappeared was in Xima Lane."

Xima Lane is not a remote place, on the contrary, its location is very special, extending in all directions, from where you can go to many places.

Moreover, there are many pedestrians and the paths are complicated. If you don't pay attention, you will lose track of the target.

Ye Jingyuan went over the terrain of Xima Lane in his mind, and asked, "Could it be intentional..."

"The governor means that someone intentionally passed this news to our ears?" The man paused, "But what is the purpose of doing this?"

Ye Jingyuan stared at the mottled bamboo swaying in the wind outside the window, and shook his head.

He also wanted to know what purpose the other party had.

"Did the people patrolling the city notice anything unusual in recent days?"

"Go back to the governor, no."

It's business as usual, calm.

But this calmness is even more worrying, like the calm before the storm. Once a certain critical point is reached, the heavy rain will pour down, instantly subverting the whole situation.

Although the Dudu Mansion looks no different from the past, in fact, the strings have already been tightened, and I don't know how long it will last.

"I see," Ye Jingyuan breathed out slowly, "Continue to send people to watch the teahouse, if you find the storyteller, arrest him immediately."

"My subordinate understands."

The man was ordered to leave, but the people behind him suddenly stopped him, "The Qiushui Pavilion still hasn't let go?"

"No, his mouth is very tight, and he can't pry it open."

No matter whether it was punishment or lure, the other party refused to reveal any news.

They can't really torture people to death, after all, there is still some use for keeping them.

"However, my subordinates got a message last night that although he has no wife and no children, he has a friend named Huaping who lives in the west of the city. The exact address is still being investigated, and I believe he will find it soon."

Ye Jingyuan raised his eyebrows, "Oh? There is such a thing?"

If a person has no weakness, no matter what method they use to extract a confession, it will be futile. Originally, he was about to give up, but he didn't expect to find out a woman who is very good.

Things suddenly became more interesting.

Ye Jingyuan thought for a moment, and directly made up his mind, "After finding someone, take him to Qiushui Pavilion. You understand how to do it."

Just because the person locked up is not afraid of torture does not mean that the woman is not afraid.

If the pain is on yourself, it will be over if you bear it; if the pain is on others, it will be endless psychological torture.

He didn't believe that the other party would be hard-hearted enough to watch his lover suffer.

"Yes."

Ye Jingyuan raised his head and pressed the center of his eyebrows, "Go down."

The footsteps faded away, and soon Ye Jingyuan was the only one left in the yard.

He looked up at the homing pigeons circling under the eaves, his eyes narrowed slightly.

A few days have passed, and the whereabouts of Cai Wen's nephew and his wife before and after their arrival in Pengcheng have not been found.

The huge Pengcheng seemed to be isolated, and there was a pool of dead silence.

Ye Jingyuan was very disturbed, but for the time being, he couldn't find any signs of it, and had no way to deal with it, so he had to wait and see what happened.

The scorching sun above the head scorched the earth without hesitation, and in the afternoon even forced the hawkers on the street to the shade of the trees to enjoy the cool, and they didn't even have the intention to sell things.

Bitter summer, bitter summer, at least two more months to come to an end!
It wasn't until the sun slanted to the west and the evening breeze brought a little bit of coolness that the long street became lively again.

Fei Liu walked against the crowd, entered through the back door of Cai's house, took a small path into the Qiyun Pavilion, and bumped into Yu Huaishan who had just come out for a walk after dinner.

"Doctor Yu, is the young master not in the room?"

Yu Huaishan shook his head, "Master Cai invited me to the front hall half an hour ago."

Fei Liu: "Thank you."

He turned around to leave, but as soon as he walked around the corridor, he saw Xiao Rongxi and Nan Zhen coming together.

"Sir, ma'am."

Xiao Rongxi nodded, and paused slightly, "How is the place?"

Fei Liu fell behind the two of them, and replied, "The third alley in the west of the city, about a hundred steps in, there is a small two-story attic. The person who lives in it is called Huaping, who has something to do with Ye Dudu."

"According to the painting screen girl, Dudu Ye used to go there at least once a month, but the two haven't seen each other for more than half a year."

At that time, Xiao Rongxi considered transferring Ye Jingyuan to Pengcheng to guard this important checkpoint. One of the big considerations was that he grew up eating a lot of food, had no relatives, and was not married, so he would not be easily threatened by others.

Ye Jingyuan also knew that his responsibilities were heavy, and he couldn't have any handles and weaknesses exposed, so he didn't have frequent contacts with Huaping.

He didn't want others to know the existence of Huaping, especially the political opponents, so he never took her into the Dudu's Mansion, but found a house in the west of the city and settled her down.

In order to deceive others, he did not buy the house, but leased it, paying the rent every three months.

Coincidentally, that area is the property of the Wang family. When Fei Liu went to investigate, Wang Qingwan directly took out all the information, saving a lot of trouble.

After Xiao Rongxi listened, she frowned, but she didn't criticize Ye Jingyuan, she just thought about the timing.

I haven't been there for more than half a year. Doesn't it mean that something happened to the Governor's Mansion before that?

He looked at Fei Liu, "Is there any other news?"

"At the same time as we discovered the existence of Huaping, there was another group of people. The subordinates followed them for a while, and inferred that they should come from the Governor's Mansion."

It was inevitable that someone would discover him, so he didn't dare to get too close, but only told the most likely source.

He paused, and continued, "But there are many tenants over there, and they haven't found the specific place yet."

Nan Zhen listened silently, and when she heard this, she suddenly tugged on Xiao Rongxi's sleeve, "I have an idea."

……

There is no moon in the middle of the night, only the breeze.

There was a little humidity in the air, and it was about to rain.

Several men in black quietly appeared around a small two-story attic in the west of the city.
