The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 90 A daughter in my family has grown up

Du Wan felt that the man was a bit familiar. He must have seen him somewhere.

However, she has a little problem.

 For someone you have just met, you need to meet them at least three or four times before you can remember their face. This person seemed a bit familiar to her, and she couldn't remember his face. She probably had only seen him once or twice.

Du Qian noticed that she kept looking at one of the prisoners.

 “Sister, do you know that person?”

“I don’t know him, I just think he looks familiar. I may have seen him somewhere.”

"You are usually in the house, and the number of times you leave the house is only a few times." Du Qian counted the number of times Du Wan went out after returning to Beijing. He could count them on one hand. It is impossible to see this person, so the only choice is to go to Wangyue Tower and go shopping today."

Du Wan wanted to say it, but she missed it once.

But she didn’t dare to remind him.

 Suddenly, Du Qian said with a half-smile, "I almost forgot, there was another time."

"hehe."

Du Wan touched the tip of her nose guiltily.

 She and Pei Hao went to the night market and caused trouble.

At that time, she was still wondering why her family didn’t react. Later, Chen Liu came to apologize. Only now do I realize that they were trying to save her some face and pretend not to know.

Du Wan laughed dryly, "Brother, I didn't think of it."

"I didn't think about it, I didn't think about it. It's not an important person anyway." Du Qian took her to watch the fun.

 Wait for the brother and sister to pass.

 The fight in the house has subsided.

　　The prisoner was captured. There was only one person, and he was very skilled in martial arts.

It was Pei Hao who took action himself and beat the man half to death.

Just such a person caused casualties among the searching guards. Obviously, this person's status in the Yanmen is not low. He is not the little shrimps he caught before, he is a big fish.

Pei Hao ordered: "Lock him alone. This is a serious crime."

 “Yes, my lord.”

 Someone immediately came forward and dragged the prisoner down.

Pei Hao turned around and saw the Du family brothers and sisters outside.

Du Qian was whispering something, and the little girl looked like she was listening attentively. Pei Hao thought they would follow him, but when Du Qian heard something moving, he took the little girl to see them without even looking at him.

 The battle scenes are tense and bloody.

Du Wan was uncomfortable at first and gradually became insensitive.

 Until the end, I was able to discuss it with Du Qian, and he has great adaptability.

Du Qian saw all her changes.

 Sure enough, the decision to take her out was the right one.

People can be weak, but they cannot be cowardly.

 It was already dark.

The Royal Guards and the Imperial City Guards lit torches and continued to search every household. It was destined to be a sleepless night in the Imperial City tonight.

The personal guards around Du Qian also found torches from nowhere to light the way forward.

Du Qian said: "Sister, we have seen enough for today, we should go back home."

“Will this storm subside tomorrow?” Du Wan asked, looking at the imperial city shrouded in night.

Du Qian said: "Yes."

Du Wan didn't pay attention to this uncertain tone.

 The group of people headed back home.

Even though they heard the sound of fighting coming from the tavern not far away, the brother and sister didn't pay much attention. Because I have heard this situation too much before, I have become accustomed to it and become numb.

 At the corner of the street.

  Met a carriage head on.

This carriage has no marks of aristocratic family and looks like an ordinary carriage. But on this day when the whole city is under lockdown, is it normal to travel at night?

When encountering a noble person traveling, the coachman quickly drove the carriage aside to avoid it.

Du Qian glanced at the carriage and didn't care. Du Wan doesn’t even care.

 The group quickly crossed the parked carriage.

It wasn't until the group of people had gone far that the curtain of the car was opened. Looking at the back of the group of people leaving the Princess Mansion, this person was none other than Xie Zhang.

The coachman said: "Sir, we are about to set off."

 “Well, let’s go.”

 The carriage continued to move forward.

 There were a few drops of blood on the ground where the carriage stopped.

 Several men in black appeared next. When they saw the blood on the ground, they quickly wiped it clean and erased the traces left by the carriage.

After a while, the man in black performed Qinggong and disappeared into the night. Follow the carriage all the way, erasing the traces along the way.

These men in black are the secret guards of the Xie family.

Pei Hao and others hurried to the tavern.

 The scene was a mess.

 A group of imperial city guards who searched here were all dead.

Stepping into the tavern again, there were signs of a violent fight just like outside. Then I went in and saw the bodies of the tavern owner and the waiter.

 They all died recently.

"Search!"

Pei Hao ordered coldly.

Looking at the surrounding environment, Pei Hao found that he had been there during the day. There is only a grocery store across from the store where Yanmen's senior executives were hiding.

 This tavern has nothing to do with the power of Yan Clan.

 The tavern keeper and waiters suffered an unreasonable disaster.

Pei Hao looked at the corpses on the ground and said, "Notify their families." After speaking, he glanced at a group of subordinates with cold eyes and said, "Nothing in the shop is allowed to be touched, including money."

 “Yes, my lord.”

 Making money from dead people is a secret practice.

But the adults ordered not to take it, so they naturally wouldn't move it.

Before Pei Hao left, he asked two of his men to stay behind to protect the scene of the crime and wait for officials from the Yamen to take over the follow-up.

 He continued to take charge of the overall situation.

This search lasted for a day and a night.

 The city gate was opened once midway.

The imperial guards who went to destroy the stronghold outside Yanmen City returned and captured a group of prisoners. It wasn't until noon the next day that the city gate was reopened.

 The guards at each city gate have been strengthened three times, and checkpoints have also been set up.

It's okay to enter the city, but it's troublesome to leave the city, with various inquiries.

 Don't underestimate this kind of interrogation, there is a lot of profit in it.

Pei Hao knew about these tricks before and didn't care much about them.

This incident was different. The emperor and he both took it very seriously. Therefore, he personally called the generals who were guarding the city and specifically stated that the investigation of this matter was of great importance. If anyone dared to violate the law, he would be released after receiving the benefits. Go out of the city and chop it down directly.

 At the same time, a confidant was sent to keep an eye on each city gate.

 In addition to keeping an eye on the people leaving the city, they also need to keep an eye on the city gate guards who are doing business.

 Therefore, no one dares to make small moves.

 The effect was also very obvious. All the lists that Pei Hao had previously investigated were arrested. However, Pei Hao was not happy at all.

 Let’s not mention that some people have not found it. Just judging from the tragedy in the tavern, a big fish that was not on the list escaped.

Mu Si'an was so tired that he collapsed on the chair in the Yamen and didn't want to move.

Hu San, holding a big sword in his arms, also sat on the steps outside the door and dozed off. The other people in the yamen were similar to Hu San. They lay down and slept regardless of whether the floor was dirty or not.

Pei Hao was sitting at the case table, sorting out the investigation files.

 “Why don’t you take a break?” Mu Si’an said feebly to Pei Hao.

Pei Hao raised his head and glanced at him, "I'm fine. Your body is not good. You can't be lazy anymore. You have to practice more."
