But where is the shadow of that person?

At this time, the guards squeezed over and dragged the fat man out. Pei Jin saw that he had been stepped on so much that he was breathing less than breathing out, and that blood was flowing from his lower body, so he knew what was going on.

Prefect Lu quickly asked his men to send the man to the clinic. Seeing Pei Jin, who was silent, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Prince Pei, this was an accident. I guess he drank a few too many glasses and was fat. He accidentally fell down. There were so many people and it was so crowded that he ended up like this."

"Yes, I thought so too. It seems that people should not drink too much." Pei Jin raised his eyebrows and smiled, thinking to himself that it turns out that there are masters among the people. I wonder what tricks this plain-looking woman used. This man really deserves it. Even if he is rescued, he will probably become a eunuch.

Thinking of this, a certain part of my body suddenly started to hurt. It was indeed the most vicious woman's heart. Fortunately, my young lady was gentle and considerate, delicate and soft.

"Hehe, Prince Pei, don't underestimate our store because it is small. It is an old brand known far and wide. Your Majesty really has a good eye for talent." When Magistrate Lu saw that Prince Pei, who was rumored to be aloof, was actually so easy to talk to, he stroked his beard happily and said with a smile.

"Sir Lu, the inside has been cleaned up." The subordinate bowed and reported.

"Please invite Your Majesty in." Magistrate Lu hurriedly and attentively escorted Jingyou inside.

Jingyou narrowed his eyes and looked at the small shop in front of him and said, "I'm hungry, hurry up and serve the food, Prince Pei, let's go upstairs together."

Several people were welcomed by Governor Lu and went up to the elegant seats by the window on the second floor.

Chan Yi had secretly gone around the front door to the back door, and after wiping the blood off with the silver needle between her fingers, she quietly put it into her pocket.

"Here, here!" Mother Zhou's face showed joy when she saw Chan Yi finally coming. Just now she only heard noisy sounds from the front in the back alley, and she was afraid that something had happened.

"Mom, we have to leave quickly. It's not safe here." Chan Yi held An'er in her arms. An'er woke up now. He sucked his little mouth and started crying out "Oh oh ah ah" when he heard his mother's voice.

"Be good, An'er. Let's go after you've had enough milk." Chan Yi patted An'er's little butt, fed him milk, and changed his diaper. Chan Yi knew that the little guy could sleep peacefully for two hours.

Chan Yi handed An'er to Mother Zhou, took off her outer garment, revealing a blue-gray robe, and wrapped her hair with a cloth. Soon, a wandering fortune teller appeared in front of Mother Zhou.

"It's very similar. It's so similar that it's hard to mistake it for the real thing." Mother Zhou squinted her eyes and looked at it for a while and said, "Paint your hands a little darker."

Chan Yi did as she was told and put makeup on her hands. She also dyed Mother Zhou's hair a little whiter, making her look like an ordinary old woman.

Mother Zhou put An'er in a bamboo basket, put her luggage on her back, and walked a few steps away from Chanyi, with her head lowered, along the curb towards the entrance of the alley.

After exiting the alley, we turned onto the main street.

"Chan Yi, there are soldiers over there." Mother Zhou took a few steps forward and said softly.

"It's okay, we're just passing by, don't panic." Chan Yi whispered, "You go ahead and pass first."

Mother Zhou lowered her head, shrugged the luggage on her shoulders, and slowly walked across the street with a bamboo basket on her shoulder.

Private seating on the second floor.

"Your Highness, this is the most famous secret hotpot chicken in Luo City, please try it." Prefect Lu smiled and served the dish to Jingyou.

"Lord Lu..." Pei Jin stopped his hand and winked at him.

"Haha, yes, please ask Eunuch Fu to serve the food to the prince." Magistrate Lu smiled awkwardly. Yes, he is a noble prince, how could he eat the food served by him.

"Your Highness, you guys eat first, I'll go downstairs to take a look." Pei Jin stood up and looked downstairs. He didn't dare to be careless. If something went wrong with this guy on the way, his life and property would be gone.

In addition to the officers and soldiers brought by Magistrate Lu, there were also a few pedestrians in a hurry downstairs.

The old woman was hunched over, carrying a bamboo basket, and no one knew where she was going. There was also a fortune teller over there, who probably didn't have much business, wiping his sweat as he walked in the hot summer.

"Prince Pei, what are you looking at? Is there anything suspicious?" Seeing that he had been looking for a long time, Prefect Lu quickly leaned over to take a look.

"It's okay, there are just a few pedestrians." Pei Jin said in a low voice.

"Prince Pei, don't worry. We have soldiers to protect you and ensure that you are safe in Luocheng." Prefect Lu said with a smile, "I am not bragging, the public security in Luocheng is still good."

Pei Jin nodded without saying anything. Suddenly he remembered something and walked quickly downstairs.

Mo Yan, who was waiting downstairs, saw his master coming down and hurried to greet him.

"Is there any news from the secret guards in the mansion?" he asked in a low voice.

"No." Mo Yan shook his head cautiously.

Pei Jin frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy. Could it be that something had gone wrong with the secret guards? It had been five days since the last message, and he hadn't received any news from them in the capital.

"Prince, maybe there is nothing to do in the mansion, so they are lazy." Mo Yan said in a low voice while stealing a glance at his master's face.

Pei Jin thought for a moment before returning to the second floor, but he still felt uneasy.

In the Begonia Courtyard of Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

"My Lord, you have worked hard. I wonder how the money is being raised?" Liu Wan'er raised a glass of wine to Pei Yunshan's mouth.

"Don't worry, just wait a few more days and the money..." Pei Yunshan narrowed his eyes and smiled. No matter how capable a woman is, she cannot escape a man's sweet words.

In the past two days, he stayed in the main courtyard almost every day, making Mrs. Wang smile all the time. Even the sadness of An'er's death had disappeared.

"My Lord Marquis is truly amazing." Liu Wan'er was delighted, although she felt a little distressed. It would have been great if she could have kept the money for herself, but for the sake of her own son, she had to spend the money.

Pei Yunshan took a sip of wine and said, "You should be satisfied this time, right? Chanyi and her son are dead, and Xun'er's eyes can be cured."

"Thank you, my lord. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lived such a good life." Liu Wan'er leaned weakly on Pei Yunshan, looking at him lovingly with her eyes. She didn't have any of the resentment that she had shown a few days ago when she cried and said she regretted marrying him as his concubine.

"It's good that you know. After I raise enough money in a while, I will go to Qingcheng Mountain, and Xun'er's eyes will definitely be cured." Pei Yunshan said leisurely.

In the main courtyard, Madam Wang had just finished reading the account book and said to Madam Zhang, "Do you really think I'm a fool to trust him with the whereabouts of the 50,000 taels of silver? Shenzhi is still waiting to get married, and this money cannot be touched."

"Madam, don't worry. The accountant knows who to listen to. Without your support, he will never give the money to the Marquis." Madam Zhang replied in a low voice, "The Marquis is really asking for too much money. I don't know what he wants to do with so much money."

Mrs. Wang smiled softly and said, "I didn't know he was so vicious before. This Marquis's Mansion is really..."

She held her forehead with her hand and stood up, her body swaying.

"Madam, you haven't slept for two days, right?" Mother Zhang hurriedly supported Madam Wang's body and said, "Madam, you must not fall down. If you fall down, what will the prince do?"
