Chapter 273 Seeking Help to Find the Whereabouts of Someone
Unfortunately, no one answered.

Pei Zisu was very disappointed, but he knew that now was not the time to be sad. The most important thing for him now was to find the source and rescue the children and their mother. Therefore, he looked around carefully and soon came to a conclusion.

There must be a lot of people coming, including many experts.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill so many people without attracting the attention of those around him. Judging from the bloodstains, it was probably no more than an hour.

Kidnapping the children is nothing more than a threat to myself.

Apart from Prince Chun's Mansion, are there any other possibilities that could threaten him?
Various possible outcomes flashed through his mind. Just as he was about to go out, he saw Jiang Shiyuan coming towards him. His eyes were full of anxiety and despair, and tears flowed when he saw him.

"Where are the children, mother-in-law, and cousin Su?"

The series of questions left Pei Zisu at a loss for words, so he could only speak in a soothing manner.

"I will find them. You just listen to me now and go to Wenyuan Marquis's Mansion first. I will find you as soon as I rescue the children. Got it?"

"No, I want to go with you!"

"Ah Nian! The children may just be one of his bargaining chips. The next one may very well be you. Are you still unsure of my ability? Believe me, I will be able to rescue the children! I promise!"

Pei Zisu's words fell on Jiang Shiyuan's heart. She also knew that it was useless for her to go with them, so she could only force herself to calm down. She originally thought that Hanzhou was dangerous, but she didn't expect that the children would suffer such a disaster in Xijing City.

She cried bitterly, but she knew that there was no time to lose.

"Okay, I'll go find my grandmother. My husband, please be careful and make sure to rescue the children!"

"I know, don't worry!"

After saying that, he blew a whistle to the secret guards hidden in the wind, and then two men in black appeared. These were Pei Zisu's death guards who had never appeared before. Their appearance only showed the seriousness of the situation.

"Protect the lady well, there can't be any mistakes!"

"Yes!"

After giving orders to the death guards, Pei Zisu drew his sword and ran quickly outside, leaving the yard filled with a bloody atmosphere.

Princess House.

Princess Qinghuan was not far from giving birth, so she was lying on her side on the chaise longue taking a nap. When she heard outsiders say that Pei Zisu wanted to see her, she felt a little strange.

What is he doing at a time like this?
But he still pulled himself together and gave orders to the people outside.

"Let him in."

"Yes, princess."

Then Pei Zisu strode over. His serious expression made people know that something big had happened, so Princess Qinghuan also straightened her face and asked him.

"What's wrong? You look anxious. Is there something wrong with Ah Nian?"

"It's not Ah Nian, it's the child! And my mother was kidnapped. Princess, do you know that Ning'an Garden was massacred an hour ago?"

"A bloodbath in Ning'an Garden? How is that possible? This princess has never heard of such a big thing. Could it be that there was a traitor in Ning'an Garden, so they succeeded so quietly?"

When Pei Zisu heard the word "traitor", he suddenly remembered that he had been in a hurry and had not noticed whether Uncle Nie was among these people. When he thought of this possibility, his hands and feet became weak.

If it was really Uncle Nie, then the so-called iron barrel in Ning'an Garden would have been easily broken one by one. But he couldn't figure out how it could be Uncle Nie!
Could it be his father?

But it doesn't make sense. After all, he and his mother had been married for twenty years, and the two children were his grandchildren. Even if he was crazy, he wouldn't use the two children to make a fuss!

His thoughts were gradually becoming clearer, so his eyes became more determined, and then he said something to Princess Qinghuan.

"I will thoroughly investigate the matter of the traitor. For now, please give me some convenience, Princess. I will take people to search Prince Chun's mansion!"

He now holds no official position, so even if he can mobilize his men, it will not be a good reputation.

Therefore, it would be most appropriate to ask the princess to borrow troops. Otherwise, it would be a fantasy to rush into the palace and search the house for no reason.

Princess Qinghuan's expression also became somewhat solemn, and she looked at Pei Zisu and asked.

"Borrow troops? You're making it sound too simple. This is Xijing City. If we're not careful, we'll get into big trouble."

"This soldier is not borrowed in vain. I will use this opportunity to help the princess get rid of those false ministers, and then it will smooth the way for the princess to ascend the throne."

Princess Qinghuan was not stupid and she reacted quickly.

She knew how important the two children were to Pei Zisu. Anyway, the Prince Chun's Mansion would go to war sooner or later. It would be a good idea to take this opportunity to let him get rid of the people who were in his way. So she gave an order to the nanny outside.

"Bring me my military token."

"Yes, princess."

Soon the nanny brought the military token, and Princess Qinghuan handed it to Pei Zisu and then explained.

"This military token can mobilize 5,000 soldiers in the city, all of whom are elite. If you want to besiege Prince Chun's mansion, you must do it tightly. All the cases that should be tried and the crimes that should be convicted should be handled at once. Don't leave any handle for people to say that I don't know how to judge people, and that you, General Pei, are taking revenge on me. Do you understand?"

The princess' words were very direct, and Pei Zisu certainly understood.

After today, Prince Chun's Mansion will no longer exist, so after taking the military command, he stood up and left the Princess' Mansion. He regained the cold expression he had on the battlefield and rushed out.

Soon, the sky in Xijing City changed.

With the help of the military token, he quickly assembled five thousand troops and marched towards Prince Chun's Palace in a mighty force.

On the day of the Ghost Festival, families seldom go out. They either worship at home or go to the riverside to release lotus lanterns and pray for blessings, but those are things they do at night.

It was now time for dinner, but one heard a group of soldiers outside were all ready to go, rushing towards the palace. Some brave ones followed to check out the situation, and found that Prince Chun's palace was actually under siege!
The person leading the troops was none other than General Pei, who had just annihilated the Southern Tang!

Once this news spread, everyone in Xijing City felt insecure.

Especially after learning that the soldiers were borrowed from the Princess's Mansion, those formerly neutral party members or the Prince's Party became terrified, thinking that they were about to start a bloodbath to purge these old ministers. So they were so scared that they began to pack up their belongings and prepare to flee.

At the gate of Prince Chun's mansion, the gatekeeper was so frightened that he ran inside without even having time to close the door.

Therefore, it is not difficult at all to rush in.
