Inside the government office of Yuding City.
Feng Heng looked at the person in front of him nervously. After the servant brought tea, he said carefully: "Eunuch Wei, please have some tea."
Eunuch Wei picked up the teacup, raised his little finger, and said with a sweet smile, "Master Feng, you don't have to be polite."
"Shouldn't the father-in-law be in the border town? May I ask what brings you to Yuding City? Has something big happened?" Feng Heng asked cautiously.
Although the eunuch Wei in front of him does not hold a high position, his identity is very special.
He could never have imagined that the eunuch guarding the border town would come all the way to Yuding City. Could it be that he came to investigate the rebellion of King Wu?
Eunuch Wei had just brought the teacup to his lips when he suddenly put it down.
Looking at Feng Heng, he said, "It's not a big deal, but it's not a small matter either. You must know that Lord Feng and Lord Fang Zheng are missing, right?"
"I heard that urgent reports have been sent to the south of Jianjiang, ordering the local patrol inspection offices to conduct searches. Even many local garrisons have sent troops to conduct searches. Why is there no movement from your side?"
Feng Heng gave a dry laugh, cursing in his heart.
After the damn Zhou family was wiped out by King Wu, not long after, news came that King Wu was rebelling. Upon careful investigation, it was found that the Zhou family was colluding with King Wu!
These bastards pay tribute to me every year, and somehow they have become accomplices of the treason!
The King of Wu cut the grass and rooted it out, but he didn't get rid of it completely! I have to help him clean up the mess myself!
According to the household registration, four members of the Zhou family and a young master had run away, and those four people were in the city at the time. How could they be in the mood to look for Fang Zhengyi now!
If these four people knew any secret, I would be the first to die.
"Of course I know about this. Eunuch, please rest assured. I have already sent someone to look for him privately. But... why did Eunuch Wei come here in person?"
Eunuch Wei sighed, "Ah... our godfather is so worried that he sent an urgent message to let me personally lead people to investigate! Now the East Factory has already climbed over so many mountains and searched so many villages and towns!"
"But recently there was news that someone left marks in the mountains near Yuding City and there were traces of a large number of people moving around, so we guess that Lord Fang is very likely in Yuding City!"
"The higher-ups are pushing very hard. His Majesty is so anxious that he ordered the guards to send people to investigate thoroughly. The prince has also sent people to investigate privately. Then our godfather is even more anxious!"
"Who is Lord Fang? He is now the commander of the Imperial Guard appointed by His Majesty himself, a third-rank official! Our godfather and he are brothers, so he is my uncle!"
"He should have taken the initiative to find the government. After so long without any news, he might have been arrested as a refugee or slave. Oh, my poor Uncle Fang, I don't know how much he has suffered!" At this point, Eunuch Wei pretended to wipe away his tears.
"Jin...What are Jinyiwei?" Feng Heng was dumbfounded. Obviously, he had never heard of what Jinyiwei was.
Eunuch Wei covered his mouth and laughed: "It's normal that you don't know. We just found out not long ago! The news from the East Factory spreads fast. I don't know how many horses died along the way!"
"This Jinyiwei is a new organization established by your majesty. To put it bluntly, it is responsible for handling cases all over the country and is only responsible for your majesty."
Feng Heng's pupils suddenly trembled!
I will handle all the cases in the country and be responsible only to Your Majesty...Don't the court officials have any objections to this decentralization of power?
I'm afraid the court is about to change!
"Master Feng, I saw you were looking for some criminal who wanted to exterminate a whole family when I entered the city. You mobilized a lot of manpower. Let's put these small matters aside for now. It's more important to find my uncle Fang!"
"Yes... yes! What the father-in-law said makes sense. I will immediately send more people to look for Lord Fang in the city." Feng Heng's expression became more stiff.
"Well, keep a low profile! My uncle Fang, who is so important, has fallen into the hands of the common people. If this gets out, the imperial court will lose face!" Eunuch Wei sat down again and said, "Sir Feng, I'm here early this time. If nothing unexpected happens, there may be others who will come to talk to you about this matter."
"You are the first one that our family has contacted. Besides, maybe my uncle has just arrived in Yuding City and will come to look for you after resting. You must give me the news as soon as possible."
"Think about it, our godfather is in charge of the East Factory, and my uncle Fang is in charge of the Imperial Guard. They are all real relatives! If you find my uncle, you will get two favors. When I report to my godfather, he will speak well of you in front of His Majesty. Won't you have a bright future as an official?"
Feng Heng agreed repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes! For such a major matter, I must bring Uncle Fang..."
"Hmm~?"
"Oh no! Find Master Fang!"
snort!
Eunuch Wei rolled his eyes at him coquettishly and said, "He's my uncle, how dare you call him that?"
"Alright, Master Feng, I won't bother you any more. If you have any news, please remember to inform me. Goodbye!"
"Eunuch Wei, please take care!"
After sending Eunuch Wei out, Feng Heng sat in the public housing in a daze.
It's over, and those four bastards haven't been found yet! I can't take care of the things in the capital, but I have to clean up Yu Dingcheng's tail!
Now there are new complications and the forces in the city are mixed...what should we do?
After thinking for a while, Feng Heng waved to Sun Tongzhi who was not far away and asked, "How is the investigation of those Zhou family thieves going? Is there any news?"
"Sir, there is no news at all! But don't worry, didn't we seal the city gates immediately to allow only people in and no one out? They must still be in the city and can't escape from our grasp!" Sun Tong knew.
"Bullshit! Now people from the capital are coming, and the entire East Factory is secretly searching the city. What if they find out something? Can you still keep your head? Didn't you take the Zhou family's money?!" Feng Heng was furious: "Immediately! Intensify the investigation in the next few days! Find those thieves and behead them in public!"
