Chapter 166
【what is this?A revolving lantern before death? 】

Lin Youyi shook her head vigorously!

On the other side, Mu Zheng had indeed learned about Lin Youyi's disappearance.

Moreover, if you use your hands, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find Lin Youyi unscathed!

A few days ago, Ling Yun was ordered to accompany Qi Yun to the southwest to retrieve the evidence, which has not been returned yet.

This time, the matter was so important that Mu Zheng didn't dare to be negligent, and directly assigned the task of finding people to Huo Qiming, the master of Sanbao, Sixi, and Wufu.

Huo Qiming made little progress in the next year, and he was promoted to the fifth grade Dali Temple Shaoqing in the year he was established.

Among the hundreds of cases investigated by him, there has never been a case of unjust, false or wrongly decided.

His father is one of the nine ministers, from the third-rank Dali Temple minister, and now, the son follows his father's will, in the same line.

Huo Qiming and Mu Zheng can be regarded as close friends, he had already known Mu Zheng when he was still a small Si Zhi of Dali Temple.

In the past ten years, he has never seen Mu Zheng as restless as he is now.

"My lord, could it be... that the rumors outside say that you love the Hou Mansion... the concubine's daughter, is it true?"

It was rumored that "the cheap daughter of the Hou Mansion", thanks to Huo Qiming being clever enough, he changed his words in time.

"When did you talk so much nonsense!"

"That's an admission..."

Huo Qiming rubbed his nose and muttered vaguely to Gu Zi.

"This king wants you to bring her back unscathed! If you can't do it, you will continue to go back to be your secretary, get out of Shendu and go to a local place to review difficult cases, and never come back for the rest of your life!"

"This……"

"you have a problem?"

"No! The next official must live up to his mission!"

Huo Qiming withdrew his expression, and said solemnly.

"In my opinion, this person robbed the daughter of the Marquis of Chengyang, not for money! Otherwise, there are countless merchants and giants in the capital of God, so why choose the most difficult one? So, my lord The official needs to know the situation of all those who have enmity with Miss Lin. I wonder if the prince knows?"

"She is a girl, what can she have..."

Just as Mu Zheng wanted to say that it was just some domestic disputes, Yan Liben suddenly came to mind.

"Yan Liben! A few days ago, that little girl had some disputes with Yan Liben."

"That bastard son of Yan's family? My lord, I heard that Yan Liben had his leg broken a few days ago! Miss Lin didn't do this, did she?"

"It's his own fault, death is not a pity!"

"Yes Yes!"

Huo Qiming wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, it seems that this little girl from Chengyang Hou's Mansion is not a good stubble either!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to control Prince Rui, who is proud of everything in the world!

Huo Qiming quickly inquired about the whole matter, and followed the path Lin Youyi had walked, and began to trace the clues.

However, these streets are full of people coming and going all day long, and the traces that can be traced have almost been destroyed long ago.

Moreover, the time was getting late and the night was dark, which greatly increased the difficulty for Huo Qiming's investigation.

Not only Mu Zheng, but Cheng Yanghou and Xiao Yu'an were also anxious like ants on a hot pot, restless.

Xiao Yu'an couldn't bear his temper, so he was about to mobilize people immediately, and he would not hesitate to turn the entire city of God in reverse!

"Go and look! See which piece of land below the root of the imperial city you can move!"

Cheng Yanghou watched Xiao Yu'an turn around and leave aggressively, he yelled at Xiao Yu'an in a deep voice.

Xiao Yu'an suddenly stopped, and turned around angrily.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work either! Could it be that we just stay like this and do nothing?"

"Of course you can't do nothing!"

Chengyang Hou frowned, his heart was anxious.

He was indeed very worried about Lin Youyi, and he really wanted to mobilize troops and horses to search for Lin Youyi's whereabouts all over the city, as Xiao Yu'an thought.

However, this is the capital of the gods, at the feet of the emperor!

Even if the emperor did not blame them for the crime of arbitrarily dispatching troops, they would not be able to alarm all the big families in the entire city of God!

In this way, not only will it not help the matter, but it will also let everyone know that Lin Youyi was kidnapped by gangsters!
At that time, even if Lun Youyi was rescued safely, her reputation would be ruined!

Drinking poison to quench thirst will only make things worse!

Chengyang Hou thought about it, learned from the pain, and finally gritted his teeth.

"Go to Prince Rui!"

"Looking for him?"

"In this matter, only Prince Rui can help! Youyi has been missing for several hours, if you don't track it down as soon as possible, it will be bad luck!"

As soon as Cheng Yanghou finished speaking, the door of the study was pushed open suddenly.

Mother Lin's complexion was pale, and she walked in anxiously.

"Master Hou, you just said... Youyi is missing? She... Didn't she enter the palace to arrange dances to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday?"

"Rou'er, listen to me..."

Lin Youyi's disappearance, only Chengyanghou and Xiao Yu'an knew about it in the Hou Mansion.

Marquis Chengyang kept this matter secret because he was afraid that Lin's mother would not be able to bear the blow and her condition would worsen.

In the past few days, Mother Lin has been feeling unwell, either dizzy or nauseated, or sleepless at night.

Lin Mu has always been weak, and she didn't take it to heart.

Now, it is impossible to hide the truth, and the Marquis of Chengyang can only tell the truth.

After Lin's mother confirmed that Lin Youyi was indeed missing, she became anxious and fainted.

Chengyang Hou wanted to take care of Lin's mother, so he asked Xiao Yu'an to go to Mu Zheng alone to discuss the rescue of Lin Youyi.

As soon as Xiao Yu'an walked out of Chengyang Hou's Mansion, he found that the vicinity of the Hou's Mansion was being monitored.

He walked quickly to a peddler who was walking around the streets, and asked in a cold voice with a dark face.

"Who are you? How dare you monitor the Chengyanghou Mansion. Who sent you here?"

"Master, what are you talking about, why can't the villain understand! The villain is just a peddler who walks around the streets. There are all kinds of gadgets here. I don't know what the uncle wants?"

"To your life!"

Xiao Yu'an was already full of anger, but now, when he heard the person in front of him talking nonsense with his eyes open, he became even more angry.

He stretched out his hand violently, clamped the "peddler"'s wrist, and twisted his hand.

"Your hand, you can tell at a glance that it is a callus from the practice of knives! Why, today's shopkeepers have to learn how to use knives?"

The moment Xiao Yu'an finished speaking, he suddenly raised his leg and kicked on the burden carried by the salesman.

As the burden fell to the ground, the contents inside also scattered out.

Immediately, a gleaming saber fell out.

Xiao Yu'an picked up the saber with his toes, and looked down at the imprint on the handle.

"Prince Rui's Mansion? Huh! Are you sent by Prince Rui?"

The fake peddler didn't speak, just lowered his head in frustration.
