At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 345 Where are the people?

Zhu Qizhen took the wine glass, smiled lightly, and said nonsense: "The girl only guessed half right. She passed the next exam, but she didn't get on the list. It's a pity in my life!"

Seeing that the emperor started to get into a state, King Ning also joked: "Come to Jiangnan, why do you still think about those troubles, this girl Lianxiang's pipa is the best in Qinhuai, why don't you play a piece to add some elegance?"

Miss Lianxiang still smiled like a peach blossom, and said softly: "There is an old saying that victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. You are so young, and you will definitely make a lot of achievements in the future."

Such flattering words, if they come from someone else's mouth, they are just flattery, but when they come from such a beautiful mouth, the feeling is completely different.

Zhu Qizhen is also a little flustered, although the concubines in the harem want to look good and have a figure, but they don't have the charm of seductive women.

This woman is different from Song Guxi. Song Guxi looks pure and pleasant, but she has more eyes than anyone else.

Miss Lianxiang did not hide her identity as a diva at all, but the sense of charm exuded from top to bottom made people want to stop.

I saw her swaying her waist lightly, turned around and picked up the pipa, and played a two-tone slow word Huanxisha.

Zhu Qizhen drank some wine and listened to the beauty's performance, getting more and more excited.

Seeing that it was getting late, King Ning got up quietly, asked the old bustard to give instructions, and then asked his guards to closely monitor the surroundings of the painting boat, so as not to let outsiders disturb the emperor's rest.

Fan Zhong and Huai En were taken to another room, and then, the bustard came in with two women with heavy makeup, smiling all over his face: "Girls, we must accompany the distinguished guest..."

"Hey!"

Fan Zhong waved his hand suddenly to stop, saying: "Let them go out!"

The old bustard was puzzled, and asked: "Master Zhu outside has already paid the money..."

"It has nothing to do with Yinzi, let them all go out. If there is something to do, I will greet you, otherwise, don't let anyone enter this door casually!"

The house where Fan Zhong is now is next door to the emperor, if something happens, he can know it immediately and react accordingly.

He just didn't want to be disturbed by others, but the old bustard murmured in his heart, the girl sent it to you, but you refused it yourself, the money will not be refunded!
It was the first time for Wynn to come to this kind of place, and he seemed a little cramped, so he urged: "Get out, get out!"

The old bustard took a look at Wynn, and then at Fan Zhong. One was thin-skinned and tender, with a clean face and no beard, and the other was a burly and rough man. Could it be...

Oh, I see!
No wonder, it turns out that people like this tune...

Thinking of this, she secretly sighed, and said, "You two should rest early!"

Before leaving, he took a look at Wynn and said to himself that this queen looks handsome, but it's a pity...

Wynn had something on his mind, so he didn't notice the way the other party looked at him at all. After he left, he said to Fan Zhong, "Will something happen to the emperor?"

Fan Zhong was also very helpless. On this occasion, should I go to stand guard?
He moved a chair and sat at the door. When he walked out of this door, the emperor was in the opposite house, so he could rush over immediately when something happened.

"I'll stay here tonight, you go to bed early!"

Wynn said: "how can I sleep, I'll stay with you."

Fan Zhong said expressionlessly: "What's the use of guarding here, if an assassin comes, can you stop it?"

"Marquis Zhongwu don't want to make fun of our family, our family is to serve the emperor... For some reason, I always feel uneasy in my heart, as if something is about to happen..."

Fan Zhong leaned against the door and began to close his eyes to rest his mind.

Seeing this, Wynn had to sigh and go back to bed to lie down.

One of the two fell asleep, and the other stared straight at the roof. Neither of them fell asleep, and they dared not sleep.

In the middle of the night, Wynn was really bored, so he said, "Marquis Zhongwu, are you asleep?"

Fan Zhong narrowed his eyes and spit out two words: "No!"

Wynn said again: "You said... That Lianxiang girl will have no problem? "

"do not know!"

"I still feel uneasy in my heart. People say that this kind of place is easy to be infected with willow disease. What if... Sigh!"

The more Wynn thought about it, the more something went wrong, but Fan Zhong continued to close his eyes and rest, ignoring himself.

"Today's matter, you and I have to keep our mouths tight, otherwise, if the people in the Ministry of Rites find out, what should we do..."

"Also, Empress Dowager is definitely not feeling well..."

"Shh!"

Just as Wynn was talking to himself, Fan Zhong suddenly opened his eyes and made a silent gesture to him.

Seeing this, Wynn immediately became nervous and asked in a low voice, "Is there an assassin?"

Fan Zhong ignored him, but put his ear on the door frame, listened carefully for a moment, and then said: "You stay here, don't move around!"

"Marquis Zhongwu!"

Wynn hurried forward and asked, "what happened?"

Fan Zhong looked anxious, and said: "I don't have time to explain to you, hurry up, don't move around!"

After finishing speaking, he gently opened the door, stepped out, and then closed the door.

Wynn walked to the door and bravely opened a crack, but Fan Zhong had long since disappeared.

Feeling very puzzled in his heart, he followed Fan Zhong's example and put his ear against the door frame to listen, but he couldn't hear anything.

He wanted to go out and have a look, but, thinking of what Fan Zhong said before he left, and the tone of it, he had to give up.

Finally at dawn, he couldn't wait to open the door, but he saw the boatman was holding hot water and looking at the opposite door, and then, with a creak, the door opened from the inside, and Miss Lianxiang was sleepy, as if she hadn't woken up yet.

Seeing the guy bring the hot water in, Wynn couldn't help asking: "Excuse me, girl, is my son up yet?"

Miss Lianxiang rubbed her eyes, a little puzzled, and said: "That Mr. Zhu...didn't he leave last night?"

"what?"

Hearing this, Wynn almost jumped up!
gone?

where to go?
Why leave me behind?
He said badly in his heart, and rushed into the opposite room, ignoring the obstruction of Miss Lianxiang and the buddy, and lifted the quilt on the bed, sure enough, there was no one!

"He really left..."

Snapped!
Wynn turned around and slapped Miss Lianxiang on the face, and said coldly, "I ask you, where is he?"

At this time, the old bustard heard the movement and came upstairs, and happened to see Wynn's extremely cold face, and couldn't help being shocked!
At this moment, Wynn and last night were completely different. What they didn't know was that the weak-looking man in front of them was actually the most powerful eunuch in Ming Dynasty.

The dreaded governor of Dongchang is just a dog under his hands!

"I'll ask you again, where is my son?"

Wynn grabbed the skirt of Lianxiang's girl, and his eyes shot out a strong killing intent, which made people shudder.

"He, he really...really..."

Miss Lianxiang was dumbfounded, she was afraid that if she said a wrong sentence, blood would splatter on the spot.

Sure enough, Wynn had lost his patience. He pushed her and walked downstairs.

On the street in front of Huafang, there is a stall selling steamed buns, but the stall owner is new, and the steamed buns are not very good...

Because this person's mind is not selling buns, but just staring at the door of Huafang.

Seeing Wynn coming out and waving at him, the man immediately threw away the booth and trotted forward.

"Father-in-law!"

"Call all our people, and Jin Yiwei, come here too, something has happened!"

"Yes!"

The person didn't ask what happened, but took out a bamboo whistle from his body, put it in his mouth, and blew it.

In the early morning, the sharp whistle was particularly harsh, and after a while, many vendors and pedestrians in costumes gathered around.

Wynn looked at these people and asked, "Where is Commander Yuan?"

Immediately someone replied: "At midnight last night, Commander Yuan suddenly received a signal and led a group of people out."

Wynn was startled, it was midnight again, and it seemed right when he went out with Fan Zhong.

The emperor suddenly disappeared, Fan Zhong left without saying goodbye, and Yuan Bin was not there, what happened?

Before he had time to think carefully, he asked again: "Who is in charge of Jin Yiwei?"

"Back to father-in-law, when Commander Yuan left, he ordered me to act as an agent temporarily!"

"Well!"

Wynn nodded and said: "Take your people in and search, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find the emperor!"

When everyone heard the words, their expressions changed drastically. The emperor is lost?

This... is serious!
Following a flurry of flying and jumping, the entire painting boat, from the bustard to the singing girl, including the slaves who served tea and water, and the cook, were all put on the ground up and down.

These people looked terrified and didn't know what happened.

Especially those fellows, many of them were sent by King Ning, and they hurriedly explained, but immediately after, they saw Prince Ning coming out in disheveled clothes under arrest.

"What are you doing? Don't you know who I am?"

Where has King Ning ever been so angry? In the early morning, he was picked up from the bed by someone, is there any law for him?
I am a majestic vassal, don't you want to lose face?

Let others see it, and think that I have rebelled...

Huai En came straight to King Ning and said coldly, "My lord, hand over the emperor!"

King Ning looked confused and asked, "What did you say? What happened to the emperor?"

At this time, Wynn stopped pretending and said: "You chose the place yourself, and most of the people in the boat were also disguised by the guards of the palace. My lord, at this time, do you still have to pretend to be confused?"

"It's not...that..."

King Ning was a little incoherent, and said anxiously: "What do you mean? What's wrong with the emperor?"

"His Royal Highness Ning, now, do you still pretend to be confused? Our family doesn't want to embarrass you, so we will hand over the emperor immediately, and we can discuss today's matter. Otherwise, the family will be copied and the clan will be expelled. Clear!"

Wynn's face was gloomy, and the humility in the past had long since disappeared.

King Ning finally knew what happened, no one joked with him, the emperor really disappeared!

He looked terrified, looked to the left, looked again, broke free like crazy, grabbed the old bustard's hair, and said angrily, "Where's the man?"

"What... people?"

Pop, pop!
King Ning directly raised his hand, slapped him twice, and asked, "Where did you go?"

"Go, go..."

"When did you leave?"

The old bustard stopped answering, but turned his attention to the girl Lianxiang who was standing aside.

Miss Lianxiang's face was pale at this time, and she whispered: "At the third watch last night, that young master said that he was not used to living here at my slave's house, so, so...he left..."

King Ning's eyes seemed to burst into flames, and he shouted, "Where did you go?"

"I do not know……"

"How could you not know?"

"I thought……"

Miss Lianxiang half-spoken, and gave Wynn an aggrieved look.

At this moment, King Ning was burning with anxiety, and asked: "What do you think?"

"I thought that young master had gone, to...their room..."

King Ning felt like he was going crazy, why did he suddenly disappear?

He looked at his guard, who was dressed as a turtle slave and greeted guests at the door.

"What happened last night?"

The man said with an innocent face: "Go back to the lord, the little one has been guarding the gate, and I dare to guarantee with my head that this gate has never been opened."

Another guard also said: "Yes, I also sleep in the lobby, if the door is opened, there must be movement!"

King Ning looked at the others again and asked, "Did you find anything outside?"

Everyone shook their heads, no matter whether they were guarding the gate or outside, no one was found coming in or out.

Not only did they look blank, Wynn was also very puzzled, because there were Dongchang and Jinyi guards outside, so many people, if someone really went out, they would definitely be noticed.

This matter is too strange, how could a living person disappear?

He thought of Fan Zhong and Yuan Bin, who also disappeared at the same time. It seemed that something must have happened at that time.

In desperation, he had no choice but to order that everyone, including King Ning, be temporarily detained in Huafang, and he sent a note to Ying Tianfu to dispatch officers and soldiers to control the entire street.

After finishing all this work, he simply stayed on the boat and waited for news.

Perhaps, only when Yuan Bin came back would he know what happened.

But at this time, the news of the emperor's disappearance reached the ears of the accompanying officials. This time, it was tantamount to stabbing a hornet's nest.

Everyone rushed to the painting boat to find out about the situation.

In the face of these ministers, Wynn did not dare to neglect, so he had to deal with it first, and then wait for the news.

Finally, the spies from Dongchang sent back news that they had found some clues in the suburbs, which might have been left by Jin Yiwei.

When Wynn heard this, he immediately brought a team to the scene.

Here is a forest, the further you go, the road becomes narrower, however, some bushes were found to be cut by knives on one side.

Ordinary people who go out with a knife?
Wynn's eyes lit up immediately, and he followed these traces.

Passing through the bushes, I came to the foot of a mountain. After asking, it turned out to be Zhongshan.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is buried here, and there are Xiaoling guards nearby.

Huai En led people to continue the search. Since this is the Xiaoling Mausoleum, the guards are extremely strict, and ordinary people can't approach it at all. Therefore, the trees are lush and it is summer. The whole mountain is covered with vegetation. Searching for a whole day, there is no one progress.

"Excuse me, who is Mr. Wynn?"

Wynn turned his head to look, and at some point, there was an extra person behind him.
