Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 284 Found it

On one side of the Yuexi River are small vendors, and on the other side are shops. The shops are connected to each other, and there are only two places leading to the alley behind.

One of them was very close, but it was a dead end. On the other side, Gu Yunyi discovered a loophole that made it particularly easy to escape.

It was a large jewelry shop, and unlike other shops, it was a stand-alone building.

"That's not right, the people here just sent someone to chase after them again..."

Gu Yunyi shook his head: "Uncle, what if they didn't run away, but stayed in these shops?"

"Impossible! Who would dare to be so bold? Besides, Prefect Kang is already searching these shops!"

Gu Yunyi's gaze fell on the plaque that read "Gold and Jade Abundance," his expression very solemn.

Jin Yu Man Tang is the largest jewelry shop in the prefectural city, not only because of its variety of styles, but more importantly because of the powerful people behind it.

If Pei Cheng still doesn't understand by now, he would truly have forgotten he is a member of the Pei family. Moreover, in his eyes, there is nothing he cannot investigate.

"Men! Search them!" Pei Cheng sneered.

"Yes!"

Pei Cheng's men quickly rushed inside. There were quite a few people inside, including many wealthy young ladies and gentlemen. When they saw the soldiers barging in, their faces immediately turned displeased, and they cursed.

However, the moment the soldiers drew their swords, none of them dared to utter a sound.

"Sir, sir, what's going on... Isn't this Lord Pei? Lord Pei, please come in."

Pei Cheng had been here before. He had bought a lot of jewelry here and sent it to the Gu family. He was quite generous with his money!

How could the shopkeeper not recognize him? However, Pei Cheng's face was already extremely dark at this moment. He gave the shopkeeper a cold glare, and the shopkeeper dared not say a word!
"Everyone, stand still and don't move, or you'll all be dealt with on the spot!"

Upon hearing this, the entire Golden Jade Hall fell into a deathly silence. Everyone stood frozen in fear, not daring to utter a sound.

Zhou Yuanjia and Fang Ziheng rushed over, their faces filled with anxiety. They immediately spotted Pei Cheng and Gu Yunyi standing at the front, and guessed that there might be clues related to Xinting's disappearance here.

Zhou Yuanjia stepped forward, eager to ask, but knew he could only wait, even though he was worried.

Pei Cheng's men were conducting a thorough search of the jewelry shop, leaving no corner unchecked, from under the counters filled with exquisite jewelry to the warehouse at the back where the goods were stored.

The wealthy young ladies and gentlemen who were originally selecting jewelry now stood trembling, not daring to breathe.

Gu Yunyi stared intently at everyone in the store, trying to find clues from their expressions.

Soon, his gaze settled on a shop assistant. The assistant seemed calm, but his eyes kept glancing towards a small door deep inside the shop. Gu Yunyi subtly gave Pei Cheng a wink, and Pei Cheng understood immediately.

"Go, bring that guy to me."

"At Pei Cheng's command, two soldiers immediately approached the shop assistant."

The waiter's face turned deathly pale instantly, but he still tried to remain calm and said, "Sir, I haven't done anything. I don't know why you're arresting me?"

Pei Cheng walked up to him and said coldly, "You'd better tell me the truth. What's behind that door? If you dare to lie, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

The shop assistant's legs were already trembling slightly, and he stammered, "Sir, there's just a small storeroom behind there, nothing special."

Pei Cheng snorted coldly: "Is that so? Then why have you been looking over there? Search him!"

The soldiers received their orders and rushed toward the small door. When the door was opened, a damp, dark atmosphere rushed out.

Inside were some old boxes and miscellaneous items, but upon closer inspection, a wooden plank in the corner seemed to be loose.

The soldiers moved the wooden planks aside, revealing a hidden opening. Pei Cheng went into the opening first, followed closely by Gu Yunyi and Zhou Yuanjia with the others. The opening was narrow, only wide enough for one person to pass through, and it was winding and labyrinthine.

They walked cautiously through the cave, and then they found that it was getting bigger and bigger. All the children and women were drugged and lying haphazardly on the bed.

Seeing this scene, Pei Cheng's anger burned even brighter.

The person has been found; the next step is to try the criminal.

but……

After Pei Cheng arranged for people to be rescued, he led Gu Yunyi and the others outside. Looking at the dark sky, he felt that something was wrong.

Not to mention Pei Cheng, even Gu Yunyi felt that something was not quite right, and he had a feeling that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

Just as the two locked eyes, someone suddenly shouted, "That...over there..."

The two of them immediately looked in that direction, and their expressions changed.

"That's the government office!"

Mengniang!

Yun Sheng and Yun Mo!

Hui Niang and Yuan Bao!
Gu Yunyi and Fang Ziheng took off running towards the place where the fire was burning.

Zhou Yuanjia was holding Xu Xinting, who had been drugged and unconscious, and was having the doctor at the clinic treat her. He didn't dare to leave at this moment.

Pei Cheng was a little late, but he used his lightness skill to its fullest extent and arrived at the government office before Gu Yunyi.

Fortunately, they saw Xu Qingmeng, Yun Sheng, and Yun Mo standing at the entrance of the government office, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister-in-law, I saw Uncle!" Yunmo had sharp eyes and spotted Pei Cheng at a glance, excitedly shaking Xu Qingmeng's arm.

Then Gu Yunyi and Fang Ziheng rushed to the entrance of the government office.

"Dream Maiden!"

"Huiniang!"

Seeing Xu Qingmeng's peace of mind, Gu Yunyi's unease subsided slightly.

Fang Ziheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his wife and son.

At the moment everyone arrived in Peicheng, they didn't care about etiquette; all they wanted to know was whether their children had been found.

"Lord Pei, have you found the person?"

"Lord Pei, my daughter is only fourteen..."

Pei Cheng was usually a man of few words, and he was quite uncomfortable with the cacophony of voices around him, but he still managed to explain the situation to everyone.

Gu Yunyi and Fang Ziheng moved closer to their wives.

"Yunyi, how are you? Where's Xinting?" Xu Qingmeng saw him covered in sweat, reached out and wiped his sweat, and asked anxiously.

"I'm fine. Xinting has been rescued, and Zhou Yuanjia is with her at the doctor's now!"

Xu Qingmeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Yun Sheng and Yun Mo jumped up with joy.

fortunately! fortunately!
