Chang Sihao stayed in the Yunchun Pavilion of the Qin Mansion, and was served by two maids, Axiang and Ayao. In addition to thinking about the eldest lady Qin Ziyin, he also hoped that Mr. Cheng's mansion would be found soon. He also missed Mr. Cheng's seat.

As a commander, it should not be difficult to find his residence. Unexpectedly, there was no news for three or four days in a row. That evening, Chang Sihao couldn't bear it any longer, so he came to Chen Shengyi's residence to inquire. Chen Shengyi also

I was very surprised. Taiyuan is the base camp of the Qin family, and their spies are everywhere. Why can't they even find an official's house? While the two were talking, footsteps were heard in the corridor, and a strong and muscular man strode forward and stood outside the door.

, Gong Shen said: "I have tried something new, and I have met Mr. Sun, the second manager."

Chang Sihao heard him address him and placed himself in front of Chen Shengyi, feeling ashamed in his heart.

Chen Shengyi didn't care at all, he just took it for granted and asked: "What, is there something going on?"

Gu Changxin said: "Master Cheng's house... ahem, his house has been found."

Chang Sihao said happily: "Then take me there quickly."

Gu Changxin said: "If you find it, you have found it, but...it's okay not to go."

Chen Sheng thought that Gu Changxin, who was usually a rough and arrogant person, was stumbling when he spoke today. He asked, "Is there something wrong? Just tell me."

Gu Changxin lowered his head: "Mr. Cheng's home has been sealed up for a long time, and there is no one in the house. According to several old neighbors, as early as two months ago, the imperial court sent people to confiscate the Cheng family, and Cheng's mother hanged herself.

Mrs. Cheng hit the stone mill and died..."

Chang Sihao heard this and let out a cry, his heart felt cold.

Chen Shengyi asked: "Why did the imperial court want to confiscate Mr. Cheng's home?"

Gu Changxin frowned slightly: "When I ransacked the house, I told my neighbors about his crime. He said that Cheng Yunfeng and the soldiers had been fighting for a long time and had no success. He was also corrupt, perverted the law, and withheld military pay. The imperial court ordered him to be removed from his post and replaced with someone else. He

Unexpectedly, he failed to disobey the order, saying that the person who replaced him could not lead an army at all. He also made arrogant comments about court affairs and accused the emperor of wrongdoing. Therefore, he confiscated his property and imprisoned his family, hoping to threaten him and force him to obey the law. Unexpectedly, the old lady and his wife

He committed suicide."

Chang Sihao thought that the thieves had enough troops and strong fighting power. It was not easy to defend the city. How could he say that he worked hard in vain? The city was trapped for a long time and they only lived on human flesh. Even if they had any military pay and silver, they could not

If you can't eat it and drink it, what's the use of deducting it? As for the matter of Mr. Cheng being dismissed from his post, I don't know if it involves military affairs. There is probably something wrong with it. I think Mr. Cheng must have offended someone in the court because of his upright nature.

What's the point of being guilty? What a pity. Two months ago, Mr. Cheng and a group of soldiers and civilians were studying the tactics of the enemy every day. They were struggling to support him, but his mother and wife were forced to death by the imperial court.

Oh! Thinking of the miserable scene of the Cheng family that day, tears rolled down my eyes.

Chen Shengyi also gritted his teeth secretly, thinking that the government would be clear and the people would be happy. What a fool's errand. Mr. Cheng had already lost his family and his family, and he didn't even know it. He still stayed at the border until he died in the battle. It really made people feel desolate. A few words of comfort to Chang Sihao.

, and asked: "Is there no one left in Mr. Cheng's family? Are there any heirs left? If we can save Zhongliang, we can leave a bloodline for the Cheng family."

Gu Changxin's face twitched and he said: "I heard from the old neighbors that Mr. Cheng has a son and a daughter in his family. The young master is twelve years old and his name is Cheng Lian'an. He was kidnapped by the king. The eldest daughter is only sixteen years old. Because

I thought it was causing trouble, so I sold...sold..."

"What!" Chen Sheng clapped his hand, smashing the square table next to him into pieces: "Where was it sold? Have you checked it?"

Gu Changxin has a troubled look: "I have checked all the brothels, wine shops and other places in Taiyuan City, and found nothing. These places are not available. They were probably bought by some wealthy families and used as slaves and concubines. It is unknown whether they belong to

I've been urged by others, and the brothers are all working hard, but...it's just that it's been too long, and it's really difficult to find out, so the final result may not be very optimistic."

Chen Sheng knew that Taiyuan had been a prosperous place since ancient times, with many brothels, prostitutes, hotels and flower streets. It only took Gu Changxin three or four days to check all these places, which was extremely efficient. If this Jurchen was bought by a rich man and became a slave in his home

As a concubine, it is even more difficult to find out without showing up. Basically, there is no hope of finding her again. She can't help but sigh sadly. Then she asked: "Where was the young master Cheng Lian'an taken?" Gu Changxin blinked and shook his head.

Chang Sihao asked: "What is the name of Master Cheng's daughter?"

Gu Changxin said: "Miss Cheng is not betrothed to anyone, so I don't know her maiden name."

At that time, girls from wealthy families did not reveal their names when they were in the boudoir. Only when they got married, they could ask for their names, which was also called "please ask Geng Tie" or "pai Ba Zi".

Most of them are informal. The Cheng family is a well-behaved family, so even the neighbors don’t know Miss Cheng’s maiden name.

"Let's go!" Chang Sihao said, "Take me to Cheng Mansion to have a look."

"Hehe, what are you going to see?" A joyful voice sounded out, and Jing Lingyu walked in.

Chang Sihao ignored her, and Gu Changxin said: "The Cheng family seems to be in ruins, what else is Aunt Sun going to do?" Chang Sihao said, "Then I should go and have a look." Gu Changxin saw that he looked sad.

, not daring to say anything more, Jing Lingyu said: "Ah, Master Cheng's mansion has been found? Why has it become an abandoned site again? Just now I heard you talking about Miss Cheng from a distance, hehe, as expected, there is still someone waiting for the groom.

My son is here to marry me!" Chang Sihao's face became even more ugly, and Xiang Guchangxin said: "Let's go." Jing Lingyu said: "I want to go too, I want to go too!" Chang Sihao said: "What are you going to do!"

Jing Lingyu kept her nose shut: "You... you yelled at me? My brother yelled at me, and you yelled at me... No one likes Xiao Yu anymore, everyone hates Xiao Yu!" Chang Sihao seemed to cry when he saw her.

He looked like he was yelling, and sighed: "I didn't yell at you, but my voice was a little louder. Don't be angry." Jing Lingyu said: "When your voice is high, it's just a roar! Can you yell without being too loud? You belong to the Qin family now.

Now that you are the prince-in-law, you will be proud, right?"

Chen Sheng hurriedly stopped her and explained the reason. Chang Sihao frowned and waved to Gu Changxin to lead the way. The two ran to the front yard and came outside the sedan hall. Eight majestic warriors stood under the hall, seeing Gu Changxin and Chang Si

When Hao came out, they all bowed respectfully, and Gu Changxin said: "Uncle Sun is going out, you guys will follow me to protect you." The eight people agreed in a loud voice. The servant brought ten horses, and Chang Sihao said: "There is no need for so many people.

?" Gu Changxin said: "My subordinates dare not be careless about Aunt Sun's safety." Chang Sihao was depressed and didn't bother to care about all these things. He went out of the gate and got on his horse. Gu Changxin and the eight warriors also got on their mounts.

Before setting off, Jing Lingyu chased after me and shouted: "Wait for me, let's go together!"

Chang Sihao said: "Aren't you afraid that I will yell at you?" Jing Lingyu pouted: "Brother Xiaohei, it's my fault, people don't know the situation! Xiaoyu also admired you when he heard what you said about Mr. Cheng.

Come on, it would be a good idea to go to his house and pay him a visit."

Chang Sihao saw her appearance and remembered that when his dead sister had done something wrong and begged for forgiveness, his expression was just like hers, and he felt sad again in his heart, and said: "Okay, let's go together." Gu Changxin greeted: "More

Bring a fast horse!" When Ren was about to move, Jing Lingyu said: "No need, Xiaoyu doesn't know how to ride, Brother Xiaohei and I can ride one." After saying that, he stretched out his hand, and Chang Sihao gave it to him.

He took her on the horse and sat behind him. Jing Lingyu put her arms around his waist and said with a smile: "Let's go." The two of them were close to each other, and warmth came from Chang Sihao's back, which reminded him of that day.

Qin Ziyin sighed at the scene of him lying on his back, thinking: "I wonder what she has been doing these past few days? Is she feeling better?"

Gu Changxin said: "Uncle Sun, it's not appropriate for a man and a woman to ride together..." Jing Lingyu squinted at him and said, "When you see Aunt Sun being held by another girl, are you afraid that your young lady will suffer a loss? Don't worry.

This girl is only interested in the pretty boy, but not the black-faced one." Gu Changxin knew that this little girl was so arrogant that she even dared to make jokes about the old man, so he stopped talking and started to lead the way. At this time, the bright moon had risen, and in the city

Except for the shopping street which was still bustling with bright lights, everything else was dark and silent. Ten riders walked to a secluded place, went out to the cattle market, hemp market, bypassed the Taiyuan government office, and tried their luck in the new market.

Then, turned west through Sanqiao Street, then turned east, passed the City God's Temple, and went straight out of the north gate. Chang Sihao wondered: "Why is Master Cheng's residence not in Taiyuan City? No wonder he has to ride a horse."

The group walked out of the north gate for a few miles, followed the fork in the road to the northwest, and walked for half a cup of tea. A small village appeared in front of them. The buildings in the village were mostly mud houses and thatched houses, which were low and dilapidated, with weeds covering the walls.

Gu Changxin rode in the lead and galloped through the dirt street. The villagers were shocked and looked at each other. Fortunately, the village was depressed and there were not many pedestrians at night, so it was no problem. Chang Sihao wanted to wait and asked him to slow down so as not to disturb the people.

, and thought that he really regarded himself as the master of the family, giving orders to him? As soon as the thought flashed, he had passed the street. After turning a corner, Gu Changxin came to a courtyard, reined in the reins, dismounted and reported to the road.

: "Uncle Sun, this is it."

Chang Sihao looked around and saw that the courtyard wall was made of adobe, with wild grass growing on it. It was not much better than other houses around it. The door was black and mottled, and even the copper door knocker had been removed.

There was a seal on it that had been soaked in rain and brittle from the sun. I thought that this place could only be called a courtyard, and the word "mansion" was not included. Gu Changxin said: "In order to avoid getting into trouble with the government.

, when we came to check, we all climbed over the wall and did not tear the seal on the door." Chang Sihao looked at the blurred writing on the seal and vaguely saw the official seal of the government office. Anger surged in his heart and he snorted coldly,
Chapter completed!
