Chapter 275: The Mystery Behind the Ghost
But what he cares about most now is still the missing children and mother!

Pei Zisu had been gone for only an hour when the sky fell on Prince Chun's mansion.

The common people gathered at the gate and the servants who came to investigate the situation saw the always proud Prince Chun being escorted out, and all the women in the mansion were put on the prison van. How could this not be a confiscation of property?
So everyone sighed that the world has really changed!

I didn't dare stay outside for too long. The weather was fine and it was hot, but I felt a cold wind behind me. It really felt like the Ghost Festival. I was so scared that I didn't dare go out.

With Prince Chun's Palace as an example, the four major gates of Xijing City began to discover officials who wanted to disguise themselves and escape from the city.

They all ate greasy food, but wanted to pretend to be poor peasants. I don't know if they had a brain short circuit or they thought that the guards of the city were blind, so they followed the orders from their superiors and arrested all those who were suspicious for trial!

All of a sudden, all the prisons in the Ministry of Justice were filled up. Some of them were crying out in grievance, while others were trembling in fear. It all depended on what they had done.

The disturbance started on the 15th and lasted for three consecutive days.

There was a lot of panic outside. Everyone was saying that General Pei had been lying dormant before and was now going to purge the court officials. The person who was most rumored was Princess Qinghuan, who had never appeared. Everyone wanted to know what she was thinking and what she was going to do next?
Wenyuanhou Mansion.

After losing his child, Jiang Shiyuan became like a walking corpse and is now only breathing his last breath.

Old Madam Wang and the others were very worried, but they didn't know how to persuade her. They could only take turns to accompany her, fearing that she would do something stupid. However, Jiang Shiyuan ate and drank normally, but just refused to sleep well. She just said to them calmly.

"I won't let anything happen to me until the child is found, grandma, don't worry."

But what this meant was that if something happened to the child, she would lose her life, so everyone opened their eyes wide, collected all the life-threatening things in the house, and never left her side, staring at her intently.

Her situation is worrying, and Pei Zisu's situation has not improved.

He received the news from Ayao that his father had not returned to Hanzhou yet!

He didn't show up when Pei Zixing died. Adding all these things together, could it be that he really had something to do with it?
I had a lot of thoughts at once.

After returning that day, he asked someone to carefully count the corpses, and indeed there was no trace of Uncle Nie. Uncle Nie had been with him for many years, and if a person like him could rebel, he really couldn't imagine that there was anyone around him who was trustworthy!

Therefore, he was unwilling to doubt it before everything came to light!
But at the same time, he would not let go of such a suspicious thing, so he asked He Dafu to mobilize all the connections he could and thoroughly investigate all the people and things that had come into contact with Uncle Nie in the past few days. Finally, he set his sights on an inconspicuous escort agency.

Pei Zisu was a little confused since he received the news.

Uncle Nie went in and out of this escort agency three times. Each time, he said he wanted to bring some things back to his hometown. However, the hometown he referred to was not Hanzhou, but a remote town in Xuzhou. Pei Zisu had never even heard of that place, so he found it even more strange.

But he had an inexplicable feeling.

They felt that there was a big net behind this, coming towards them, with the purpose of catching all of them involved in the conspiracy.

His eyes became darker and darker, and his expression was so serious that it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

At the same time, in a certain house in Xijing City, Wu had been locked up here with her two children for several days, and her increasingly weak cousin Su was lying beside her.

The four people depended on each other for survival, and each of them became much thinner due to the fright.

On the day of the Ghost Festival, they were taking good care of their two grandchildren at home, but for some reason they heard the sound of fierce fighting outside.

She felt something was wrong and immediately left with her child.

Su Sheng naturally helped her to hide in a hidden place while holding the child. The child was surrounded by martial servants, so they were able to run a long distance while protecting them. They were about to escape, but the person who blocked their way was that familiar face.

When Mrs. Wu realized that she had been plotted against, she immediately started cursing.

"Is this how you repay Zi Su's kindness to you? Are you not afraid of him at all?"

"Madam, what are you talking about? I have never rebelled against the general. This is all planned. Just follow me with your child. There is chaos here right now. If I don't take care of you and your child and get hurt, it will be troublesome."

The person who spoke was Uncle Nie. Although his legs were still limping, the expression on his face had changed from the previous loyalty to a somewhat complicated one, as if he was obeying the orders of someone of higher status.

Wu's mind was also spinning frantically. Could it be that the King of Han had never intended to let them go from the beginning, so this was all a false illusion created by the King of Han?

"Who is this person behind you? If you don't tell me clearly, I will never follow you."

"Madam, if you want to know the answer, the fastest way is to follow me. Now you have no say. If I say go, you must go. Otherwise, I will kill this man and let you two be a pair of wild mandarin ducks in the underworld."

Su Sheng lived in Ning'an Garden, and Uncle Nie knew it very well.

Although the two of them did not say everything clearly, Wu became closer and closer to her cousin from the Su family after her divorce. Both of them were unmarried, so if they could become passionate at this age, it might not be impossible.

Therefore, Uncle Nie paid more attention and indeed discovered the trick.

Su Sheng was not afraid of danger. He stood in front of his cousin and the children and spoke.

"We two don't know martial arts, so it's easy to catch us, but we're not important people either. You or your master behind you wants the two children the most, right? So promise first that you will never hurt the two children, and we'll go with you. Otherwise, we'll die here rather than let you succeed!"

"Don't worry, cousin Su. We are all doing this for the general's own good. How could we possibly harm his child?"

Although the words were spoken, Su Sheng and Wu were still very wary.

But they did not have powerful martial arts skills and were not sure they could escape with the children, so they could only be taken away reluctantly for the time being!
As for where they were going, they had no idea.

Because there were sacks on their heads!

The two children had never seen such a scene and they started crying non-stop. As a result, Uncle Nie pressed their sleeping points. Seeing this, Mrs. Wu tried to pull Uncle Nie to pieces. Uncle Nie was caught off guard and wanted to knock her out, but was blocked by Su Sheng.
